Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a roadshow at Palakkad in Kerala on Tuesday that witnessed the participation of thousands of BJP workers and supporters. He reached Palakkad around 10:30 am, held a roadshow of over 30 minutes in the city. The roadshow started after 10:45 am from Kottamaidan anchuvilakku, proceeding towards the head post office in the city.

BJP state president K Surendran, BJP Palakkad candidate C Krishna Kumar and candidate of the adjacent Ponnani constituency, Viveditha Subramanian, also accompanied the prime minister in the open vehicle. Supporters present at either side of the road showered the prime minister with flowers and slogans supporting Modi and BJP.

Ahead of PM Modi’s roadshow, the Bharatiya Janata Party held a bike rally in the town on Monday evening. Modi’s Pallakkad roadshow follows his recent participation at a public meeting in Pathanamthitta town on March 15, where he rallied support for NDA candidates contesting in the southern Kerala constituencies.

Addressing a public gathering in Pathanamthitta, PM Modi said the Lotus is going to bloom in Kerala in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and attacked the ruling Left and the opposition Congress-led UDF, alleging that the people of the state have endured hardship under government plagued by corruption and incompetence.

In Kerala both LDF and UDF engage in apparent conflict but unite in Delhi. The Congress labels the Left government as fascist, while the Communists criticize Congress for Corruption. Yet they form alliances in the capital. He said both parties have deceived Kerala extensively. Kerala’s populace has now seen through this deception.

The prime minister has visited Kerala several times this year. He has also paid visits to famous temples in Kerala. Earlier on Monday PM Modi visited Karnataka’s Shivamogga and Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. He attacked the Congress ruled government in the state and said the Congress leaders are only capable of telling blatant lies.

Bhupesh Baghel cornered as Congress on a downhill roll in Chhattisgarh

Several Congressmen, including grassroots workers, are now making a beeline for the BJP. The Congress is yet to announce its remaining 6 candidates from Chhatisgarh for the Lok Sabha.

The Congress in Chhattisgarh is on a downward slide ever since it lost the Assembly elections three months ago. It has only caught more steam with a slew of new developments. The foremost, of course, is the FIR against former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel in the Mahadev App case.

A betting app, Mahadev App had come into the news about eight months ago on the eve of state elections. The people behind this App, Saurabh Chandrakar and Ravi Uppal, are now based out of Dubai and had been running the satta racket which allegedly produced Rs 5000 crore in two years. They are accused by the Enforcement Directorate of making fake PayTm and other digital accounts in thousands of names and transferring money to Dubai via hawala. Mahadev App came into prominence when Chandrakar spent a whopping Rs 200 crore on his wedding celebrations in Dubai inviting the who’s who of  Bollywood from Ranbir Kapoor to Jacqueline Fernandes.

That being the background, developments during the Assembly elections revealed that some Rs 500 crore had been given to Baghel as pay off. The ED had subsequently registered an FIR with the state Economic Offences Wing (EOW) to investigate the case based on information supplied by it against two dozen accused. Subsequently, the EOW carried out raids at the premises of several accused named including former chief secretary Vivek Dhand. Now, Baghel has also been named in the FIR  allegedly filed on March 4 but details were revealed on March 17. Ironically, the FIR was filed under the charge of DM Awasthi, former DGP of Chhattisgarh Police, living on extension granted by Baghel and given charge of EOW.

Ironically, after Awasthi delivered on all the above—filing of FIR, raiding officers and other accused and including Baghel’s name charged under six sections—he was today relieved of his charge. IG Raipur Amresh Mishra has now taken over EOW. Awasthi on a year’s extension has not yet resigned.

As Baghel prepares to fight a losing battle in Rajnandgaon Lok Sabha seat, he is now under tremendous pressure. More pressure was placed on him today by his own partyman former PCC general secretary Arun Sisodiya, who has accused two of his closest aides of siphoning party funds. In a letter to PCC president Deepak Baij, Sisodiya accused party treasurer Ramgopal Agarwal of giving Rs 5.89 crore to Vinod Verma’s son without due process and proper sanction. Verma was Baghel’s political advisor and brother-in-law. Sisodiya says Verma’s son runs Tesu Media Limited, Ghaziabad and was paid the money by Agarwal without the sanction from then PCC president Mohan Markam. Tesu Media had run part of the election campaign for the Congress during the Assembly elections.

Several Congressmen, including grassroots workers, are now making a beeline for the BJP. Saroj Pandey, former Rajya Sabha member, who is now contesting from the Korba seat recently inducted a couple of hundred Congress workers in her new constituency. Sakti is part of her constituency and today, the son of former Sakti Congress MLA Surendra Bahadur joined the BJP.

The Congress has not yet been able to announce candidates for six of the 11 Lok Sabha constituencies. Chhattisgarh will vote in three phases between April 27 and May 7.

Former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren’s sister-in-law Sita Soren joins BJP after quitting JMM

Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren’s sister-in-law Sita Soren joined BJP today.

Published

on

Sita Soren, the sister-in-law of former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren and a legislator for Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), joined BJP today, March 19. Hours before joining the BJP, Sita Soren announced her resignation from the JMM, citing of being neglected and isolated in the state’s ruling party.

At the BJP’s headquarters in New Delhi, Sita Soren joined the party in the presence of party’s national general secretary Vinod Tawde, and Jharkhand poll in-charge Laxmikant Bajpai.

The three-term MLA’s decision to join the BJP is encouraging for the party’s attempts to strengthen ties with the scheduled tribes, the JMM’s main vote base.

Sita Soren wrote her resignation letter to the party supremo and her father-in-law Shibu Soren, in which she expressed her grief and said the JMM had not given her and her family enough assistance after her husband Durga Soren passed away.

Reluctantly, Sita Soren announced her resignation from the party’s primary membership, saying that she felt abandoned.

She expressed her dismay as well, pointing out that the party has deviated from its tenets by accepting individuals whose beliefs conflict with its ethos.  Sita said she has learned that her family and she are the targets of a conspiracy. The former JMM MLA said, she had no choice except to submit her resignation.

JMM’s spokesman Supriyo Bhattacharyya acknowledged hearing about the resignation when he was contacted for comment, but he said he had not yet received the formal letter.

Meanwhile, following her first election as an MLA in 2009 from the Jama Assembly constituency, Sita climbed to the position of national general secretary within the party.

She contested for the Jama assembly seat again in 2014 and registered her victory. She won the seat again in 2019.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha election, the Congress, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, and ASJU each won one seat, while the BJP secured 11 seats with a 51.9 percent vote share.
