Amit-Shah

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]BJP president Amit Shah hit out at Congress general secretary (UP East) Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for her ‘Duryodhan’ jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a rally in Bishnupur .

“Priyanka ji, this is democracy. Nobody becomes Duryodhan just because you called them so. We will find out on 23 May who is Duryodhana and who Arjuna is,” he said.

“They insult my family when they don’t get any other issue. This country has never forgiven arrogance. History is proof of this. Mahabharat is also proof of this. This kind of arrogance was in Duryodhan too. When Lord Krishna went to him and put the reality in front of him and tried to talk to him, he tried to capture Lord Krishna too,” Priyanka Gandhi said at a rally in Haryana’s Ambala to campaign for the ongoing Lok Sabha election.

She also recited lines from ‘Krishna Ki Chetawani’ (The Warning of Krishna), a poem by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, which says that wisdom is the first casualty before someone’s downfall.

She said if the prime minister had the ‘courage’, he should fight the Lok Sabha election on development, jobs, farmers and women’s safety. Yesterday, PM Modi had dared the Congress to fight the election on Rajiv Gandhi’s image.

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath addressed a rally in Delhi’s Mandawali today, where he said, “Congress has completely failed, Shehzada also failed so they brought in their Shehzadi. She was teaching abuses to innocent children of Amethi, please go and teach these abuses in Italy.”

Addressing a rally in Bishnupur, BJP chief Amit Shah chanted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ several times in a bid to counter West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee.​ Mamata had on Monday said that ‘Jai Shri Ram’ is the BJP’s slogan and it is trying to force everybody to chant it.

“Lord Ram is a part of the culture of India… Can anybody stop people from taking his name? I want to ask Mamata didi, if Shri Ram’s name is not taken in India, will it be chanted in Pakistan?” Shah said.

On Mamata Banerjee’s statement that she doesn’t consider Narendra Modi as prime minister, BJP leader Ram Madhav said, “For her, everything is politics. There’s no civility in discourse. It’s ‘jungle raj’ and dictatorship in Bengal. Violence is so prevalent that EC is forced to deploy central forces at polling booths.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Atishi to succeed Arvind Kejriwal as Delhi CM

Published

on

Much ridiculed for his decision to resign from the post of Delhi Chief Minister, AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal passed on the baton to minister Atishi on Tuesday to serve as chief minister for the rest of the term AAP is in power.

Atishi’s name was proposed by Kejriwal at a party MLAs meeting and was unanimously accepted by all MLAs. She will take over after Kejriwal resigns after meeting Delhi LG VK Saxena.

The Kalkaji MLA asumed ministerial duties after the arrest of former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia and took over the PWD and Education ministries. She was also the leader who put forward AAP views after the arrest of Sisodia and Kejriwal.

Upon getting bail in the liquor policy case, Kejriwal, who had spent some six months in prison, said on Sunday while he got justice from the courts, he would occupy the CM’s chair only after getting justice the people’s court (elections). He said he will quit in two days.

The list of potential successors had been short with Atishi headlining it. After she was announced as Kejriwal’s successor, Atishi thanked him for trusting her and endowing her with the responsibility. She called upon the voters of Delhi to cast their ballot in favour of “your son, your brother” Kejriwal because he is honest.

Elections to the Delhi Legislative Assembly are due in February 2025 but the AAP convener has been pushing for it to be held along with elections in other states, Maharashtra to be specific, in November.

Atishi has been the stand-in for AAP and would also be the stand-in CM. The history of stand-in chief ministers has not been entirely uneventful in India. The recent case being that of Champai Soren in Jharkhand and the other being Jitanram Manjhi in Bihar. While Manjhi launched his own party after having to demit office, Champai Soren switched over to the BJP.

Given Atishi’s academic and family pedigree, AAP would be hoping she won’t turn out to be a power addict.

Shinde Sena MLA offers Rs 11 lakh reward for chopping off Rahul Gandhi’s tongue, sparks row  

Such violent statements against the Leader of Opposition will not be tolerated at all in a democracy, she said while addressing a press conference.

Sanjay Gaikwad, an MLA of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, sparked a row on Monday after he announced a reward of Rs 11 lakh to anyone who will “chops off the tongue” of Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over his statement on reservation in the US.

Gaikwad’s statement comes days after the Rae Bareli MP, in the United States, said that the Congress party would think of scrapping reservations.

Speaking to reporters, the Shinde Sena MLA said, “Rahul Gandhi made a statement regarding giving an end to reservation in the country at a time when the demands for reservation are rising.”

“Rahul Gandhi wants to end reservation for backward tribals and others and hence he is using the language of ending it,” Gaikwad said.

“In the recent Lok Sabha elections, Gandhi spread a false narrative to get votes. Today he is speaking the language of ending reservation from the country and has shown the real face of the Congress. This is my challenge whoever chops off Rahul Gandhi’s tongue will be given a reward of Rs 11 lakh on my behalf,” he added.

The Shiv Sena MLA called Gandhi’s remarks the biggest treachery of the people and said communities like Marathas, Dhangars and OBCs are fighting for reservation but before that, Gandhi is talking about ending its benefits.

He continued saying that Congress leader Gandhi used to show the Constitution book and spread a fake narrative that the BJP would change it.

“But it is the Congress that plans to take the country back by 400 years. On one hand, demands of reservation are rising in Maharashtra, and there Rahul Gandhi made a statement to end reservation in the country,” Gaikwad added.

Meanwhile, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate slammed Shiv Sena and its ally in Maharashtra, BJP, after Gaikwad’s disgusting remarks against Gandhi.

Addressing a press conference, Shrinate asked who is behind such violent statements that BJP leaders and their allies are using against the Opposition leader. “Whose protection do they enjoy?” Shrinate said.

Such violent statements against the Leader of the Opposition will not be tolerated at all in a democracy, she said.

“If Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah do not take action against these people then it is clear that this is being done at their behest,” the Congress spokesperson said.

The BJP, however, has distanced itself from Gaikwad’s remarks. Maharashtra BJP president Chandrashekar Bawankule said he does not support or endorse the Shiv Sena MLA’s statements.

Ravi said: “I have got information that some influential people had tried to influence in favour of the people involved, more than 200 people came in front of the police station, so an explanation was sought and they were let go. I urged the police for a detailed probe and to destroy the network behind them, the incident should not be taken lightly.”
