Kejriwal accuses Modi govt of witch hunt, coordinating bureaucratic crisis

Arvind Kejriwal, Narendra Modi

Giving up his restraint in attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal accused the prime minister’s office (PMO) and the Delhi Lt Governor’s office of coordinating the continuing agitation of bureaucrats in the city.

He also accused the Modi government of launching a political witch hunt against Delhi government by filing numerous corruption cases against its ministers but failing to convict or arrest any one of them.

Kejriwal had refrained from attacking PM Modi after the MCD elections in which AAP faired poorly.

Addressing a press conference at his residence, on Monday, June 11, Kejriwal broke his silence to say, “People keep saying Kejriwal has not said anything in the past one year. I think they (Centre) have started to take undue advantage of my silence.”

“The attacks on us have intensified over the last three months. The BJP is rattled by our good work mainly because they are being questioned by the people as to why their governments are not being able to deliver in the areas of education and healthcare like our three-year-old government in Delhi,” he said, according to media reports.

Kejriwal alleged that officials of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have photocopied “3 lakh pages of papers relating to the mohalla clinics” in the last few days while also randomly picking up files from the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), which he heads in lieu of holding the water portfolio.

On the agitation of the IAS officers, Kejriwal said despite repeated requests to L-G Anil Baijal that the ‘strike’ be declared illegal, the latter has not paid heed. He said officers were being called by the investigating agencies only to be “abused and threatened”.

“Ask any IAS officer, they would not be able to specify any reason behind the strike. The PMO is behind the strike and is getting the LG to coordinate the entire thing. I will meet the LG this evening and urge him again to declare the strike as illegal and take action against the errant officers,” he said.

The IAS officers had suspended all forms of communication, except written, with the ministers of the elected government following an alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash by two AAP MLAs at Kejriwal’s residence during a meeting on the night of February 19.

“They can’t go on a strike according to service rules. I have repeatedly requested the LG announce the strike illegal. LG has refused to issue any written order. On February 26, February 28 Deputy CM Manish Sisodia wrote to the LG with the same demand. On March 1, I wrote. I met the LG on February 28, May 16. Ministers Gopal Rai, Sisodia, Satyendra Jain met him on May 24, June 7. But to no avail,” Kejriwal said.

He also released a list of pending cases against Delhi ministers filed by the CBI and the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) since 2015 and dared the agencies to take action.

He claimed that the Centre had filed 14 cases of corruption against his ministers but had failed to convict or arrest even a single one.

He added that the investigative agencies of the central government had filed six corruption cases with the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) and eight with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

“They filed a case against us for irregularities in setting up 1031 anti-corruption helpline. No arrests have been made. Another case was filed against our deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia for allegedly giving advertising contracts to his relatives. If that was the case, why is Manish Sisodia not behind bars? Why haven’t they arrested his relatives? The LG gave several hours to (rebel AAP MLA) Kapil Mishra who said I accepted Rs 2 crore as bribe. If that is the case, then go ahead and arrest Kejriwal,” the Delhi CM said.

Similarly, he added, eight CBI cases have been filed against various AAP ministers, including Sisodia and Satyendar Jain.

“It is interesting to note that all these cases are politically motivated. Of the 6 ACB cases, one has been filed by a BJP lawyer, three by senior BJP leaders and one by the LG himself. The 8 CBI cases have been filed on the directions of the Lieutenant Governor,” he said.

Kejriwal alleged that these cases were being filed to prevent the Delhi government from working. “We achieved a lot in the last three years. BJP governments, which have been running for 10-15 years, have not achieved as much. People will ask what Modi Ji did for education and health in the last four years. To divert attention, they have started to attack Delhi Government. They have even asked for files related to mohalla clinics. Our officials are hauled up and abused. Instead of stopping us from making 1,000 mohalla clinics in Delhi, Modi Ji should make 10 lakh clinics across India,” said Kejriwal.

Lok Sabha election 2024: PM Modi to hold roadshow in Ayodhya

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will offer prayers and hold a roadshow in Ayodhya.

The 2024 Lok Sabha Elections are now in progress across the country, with the first two stages having concluded on April 19 and 26. An important step in the electoral process is coming up on May 7, which is the date of the third phase. As the peak of campaigning approaches, political parties are stepping up their efforts to win over voters. Today, as part of election campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is will travel to Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, where he will lead a roadshow and offer prayers at the Ram Temple.

On May 7, elections will be held for 94 Lok Sabha seats spread across 12 states and Union Territories.

The INDIA bloc and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA are the two main political groups that will compete in the 2024 Lok Sabha Election. The NDA has the BJP, the PMK, the JDU, and other political parties as members, whereas the INDIA bloc is made up of political parties like the Congress, the AAP, the TMC, etc.

Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi has been the subject of a complaint about his nomination from the Raebareli constituency in Uttar Pradesh. Regarding Rahul Gandhi’s nationality, his recent defamation conviction, and how the Election Commission may accept his nomination, the complaint raises some red flags.

However, in a meeting with young people impacted by the Agnipath Scheme on Saturday in the national capital, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed that the National Security Advisor and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office, rather than the Indian Army, created the program.

Gandhi assured the youth that this program would end and the army’s previous recruitment procedure would be reinstated should the INDIA alliance win the elections.

With echoes of abki baar 400 paar, the NDA is aiming for its third consecutive term in this general election. In contrast, the opposition INDIA alliance is running an economical campaign, pledging cash handouts to women and MSP for farmers in its manifesto.

On June 4, the results of the Lok Sabha election will be announced after the votes have been counted.

Former Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Singh Lovely joins BJP

Arvinder Singh Lovely said they have been given an opportunity to fight for the people of Delhi under the banner of BJP and under the leadership of the Prime Minister.

Days after resigning from the post of the Delhi Congress president in protest against the party’s alliance with INDIA bloc partner AAP and over selection of party candidates, Arvinder Singh Lovely joined BJP on Saturday. Lovely joined BJP in the presence of Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva and the BJP’s national general secretary Vinod Tawde.

He, along with 4 former Congress leaders, joined the BJP in the presence of Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri. The 4 others who joined the party include former Congress MLAs who had recently left the party — Neeraj Basoya, Rajkumar Chauhan, Delhi youth Congress chief Amit Malik and Naseeb Singh.

Speaking to the media after joining the BJP, Arvinder Singh Lovely said, they have been given an opportunity to fight for the people of Delhi under the banner of BJP and under the leadership of the Prime Minister. He had full hope, and there is no doubt about it, that the BJP government is being formed in the country with an overwhelming majority. Lovely added that in the coming days, the flag of the BJP will fly in Delhi too.

Lovely’s resignation on April 28 was a setback to Delhi Congress in terms of optics and perception. Coming 4 days after former Delhi minister Rajkumar Chauhan quit the party, the resignation of Lovely, who has been heading the Delhi unit since August last year, has been a blow to the Congress’s preparations for the May 25 elections in Delhi.

After the announcement of the resignation, AAP minister Saurabh Bharadwaj took to his X handle to allude to the links between Lovely and BJP. It is the 2nd time that Arvinder Singh Lovely has stepped down as the Delhi Congress president. Lovely’s resignation came a day after more than a 1000 members of the Sikh community, including office-bearers of the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee, joined the BJP in the presence of its national president J P Nadda.

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for calling her brother and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi a shehzaada. She was speaking at an election rally in Gujarat on Saturday where she called PM Modi a shehanshah.

She said BJP calls her brother Shehzada. She wanted to tell BJP how this shehzada walked 4,000 km from Kanyakumari to Kashmir to listen to people’s problems. The Congress leader added that Rahul Gandhi met  sisters, brothers, farmers and labourers and asked them what problems they were having. Priyanka Gandhi was speaking at a rally in Banaskantha in Gujarat.

Priyanka Gandhi said on the other side is the shehanshah, Narendra Modi, who lives in a palace. She asked the people if they have watched him on television?  She said not a single speck of dust is visible on his face. She asked how can PM Modi understand their problems?

Priyanka Gandhi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he repeatedly called Rahul Gandhi a shehzada of shahi parivar. He was addressing a rally in Gujarat on Thursday where PM Modi had targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and said Pakistan is eager to make the shehzada of the grand old party India’s next Prime Minister as the country’s enemies want a weak government at the centre.

Priyanka Gandhi further attacked PM Modi and said Gujarat gave PM Modi respect and self-respect and gave him power, but he is seen only with big people. She asked if anyone had seen PM Modi meeting a farmer?

 She further pointed out that farmers are protesting against the black laws. She said hundreds of farmers are martyred, but the Prime Minister does not even bother to go and meet them. She said just before the elections come and they feel that they will not get votes, then PM Modi changes the law.
