PM Modi accuses Congress of allying with foreign countries to influence Indian politics

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is yet to respond to former French President Francois Hollande’s statement about choosing Reliance for offset contract in Rafale deal, accused the Congress of tying up with foreign countries to influence domestic politics.

After losing power, the Congress seemed to have lost its balance as well, he charged.

Addressing a rally of BJP workers in Bhopal on Tuesday, September 25, Modi said: “Yeh party Hindustan mein gathbandhan karne mein safal nahi ho rahi hai isliye Bharat ke bahar gathbandhan khoja ja raha hai. Duniya ke desh ab tay karenge ki Bharat mein PM kaun hoga?Congress party kya haal ho gaya hai aapka?Kya satta khone ke baad aapne santulan bhi kho diya? (Failing to tie up with parties within the country, this party is looking for allies abroad. Will countries of the world decide who will become India’s PM? What condition have you been reduced to, Congress? Have you lost your balance after losing power?).”

Inclusive development has to replace “votebank politics”, said Modi. “Sabka sath sabka vikas is not just a promise. It’s a well-thought of plan for millions of Indians. Anyone who is left behind because of any reason has to be brought ahead,” he said, referring to his government’s slogan of development for all.

Modi said that the UPA  treated people of BJP-ruled states as enemies and it was now time to punish the Congress for the ill-treatment meted out to the state by its government.

“Congress never ever thought about the welfare of Madhya Pradesh. Only if they would have thought, when they were in power for such a long time at Centre, they would have added to the state’s progress. Sadly, they only believe in vote-bank politics,” Modi said.

The prime minister added, “Vote bank politics has destroyed our country like termites. It is the BJP’s duty to save the country from the destruction in 70 years of independence.”

“Even in the Islamic nations across the world, Triple Talaq is not accepted. But here due to vote-bank politics, the party that is led by a woman is not worried about my Muslim sisters who are victims of Triple Talaq,” PM Modi said.

Attacking the Congress party for abusing him, Modi said, “Congress has invested its energy in abusing me. They have not left any abuse found in the dictionary. Ask your advisor, as much mud you throw, lotus will blossom.”

Modi said that it is a matter of pride for the party to be the world’s largest political outfit. “We are proud of the fact that BJP has a government in 19 states of the country. UPA government never allowed a BJP-led state to function. Congress has only divided the nation. We have to eliminate the politics of votebank,” PM Modi.

In an apparent reference to Congress’s allegations on Rafale deal, the prime minister further said, “Opposition indulges in mud-slinging because it finds it easier than debating on issues like development.”

BJP chief Amit Shah also launched a blistering attack on Congress at the event meant to be the party’s show of strength ahead of the Assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh.

Terming Manmohan Singh-led UPA government a ‘failure’, Shah said that Rahul Gandhi is just ‘daydreaming’ of winning polls.

The ‘Karyakarta Mahakumbh’ (grand assembly of party workers), is being held on the occasion of birth anniversary of Hindutva icon and Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS) co-founder Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya.

The event, organised at Jambooree Maidan in the BHEL locality, is said to be the “world’s largest congregation of political workers,” state BJP spokesman Sarvesh Tiwari said.

The venue was named “Atal Mahakumbh Parisar” in memory of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who passed away in New Delhi in August.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, party organisational general secretary Ramlal and central and state ministers and other senior leaders also attended the congregation.

BJP workers from 65,000 polling booths spread across the 230 Assembly seats in the state were called to take part in the programme, said Rajnish Agrawal, another state BJP spokesman. An exhibition hall named after BJP leader and former Union minister, late Anil Madhav Dave, has also been set up at the rally site.

Close to 12,000 buses and 8,000 private vehicles were engaged to ferry party workers for the mega rally. The party has booked nine special trains from different parts of the state to bring BJP workers for the event, Agrawal said.

The party also installed 45 LED screens to telecast the speeches of PM Modi, Amit Shah and others. A makeshift office was built on the side of the stage, where the visiting leaders would have consultations with the party state functionaries. Arrangement for lunch has been made for the party workers in a separate pandal.

In the exhibition, BJP and BJS stalwarts — Upadhyaya, Syama Prasad Mookerjee, Vajpayee, Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia and Kushabhau Thakre – were depicted as the five strong pillars of the BJP. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), established in 1980, is the successor party of the BJS.

Police have made elaborate security arrangements for the high-profile event and also Modi’s visit.

“We have made adequate security arrangements for the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday by deploying nearly 6,000-strong force, including 4,000 personnel from the central and reserve forces,” Inspector General (IG) Bhopal Jaideep Prasad told PTI.

Nearly 22 senior IPS officers have been deployed to coordinate security details, he said. Along with Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram will also go to polls by the year-end.

The BJP program comes days after Congress chief Rahul Gandhi visited the state capital. Gandhi held a roadshow and later addressed Congress workers and office-bearers during his September 17 visit. Both the national parties are in poll campaign mode in the state, where the BJP is in power since 2003. While the saffron outfit will seek a fourth straight term in office in the year-end elections, the Congress will look to wrest power from the BJP in a state which was once its stronghold.

Journalist files police complaint against Rahul Gandhi over push allegation

Journalist Richa Parashar has filed a criminal complaint against Rahul Gandhi and others, alleging that she was pushed while covering the Opposition’s march to the Supreme Court. The Congress has denied the allegation.

Journalist Richa Parashar has filed a police complaint against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over an alleged incident during the INDIA bloc’s march to the Supreme Court in New Delhi on October 12. She has sought the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against Gandhi and others, alleging that she was pushed while covering the protest.

Parashar submitted her complaint to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), New Delhi district, on Friday, seeking immediate action. She has said she was three months pregnant at the time of the alleged incident and accused those involved of mistreatment, threats and the use of force.

What Richa Parashar alleged in her complaint

Parashar alleged that she was reporting on the Opposition’s march when the incident occurred. According to her earlier account, she was waiting near a gate on the Supreme Court premises to seek a response from Gandhi when he allegedly grabbed her hand and pulled her forward. She further alleged that his security personnel pushed her away, causing her to fall on the Supreme Court steps.

In her complaint, Parashar said she asked Gandhi questions before he allegedly pushed her towards a gate. She claimed that the force caused her to lose her balance and fall, and that her repeated requests not to be pushed were ignored.

Parashar has sought legal action against Gandhi and others whom she alleges were involved. The complaint reportedly seeks action under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, including Sections 74, 115(2), 131, 125 and 3(5). These provisions concern alleged assault or criminal force against a woman, voluntarily causing hurt, assault or criminal force, acts endangering human life or personal safety, and joint liability for acts committed with common intention.

The allegations and the sections cited in the complaint do not, by themselves, establish criminal liability.

Congress disputes the allegation

The Congress has challenged Parashar’s account of the incident. According to report, the party said a video released by the journalist did not show the sequence of events she described.

Congress leader Alka Lamba also questioned the circumstances surrounding the incident and accused those raising the issue of attempting to manufacture propaganda.

The allegations remain disputed. The complaint and the competing accounts should not be treated as an established finding of wrongdoing.

Incident took place during Opposition’s Supreme Court march

The alleged incident occurred on October 12, when Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc leaders marched to the Supreme Court to submit a petition concerning alleged irregularities in the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

The Opposition has raised concerns about the voter-list revision process and alleged irregularities.

Parashar’s police complaint adds a legal dimension to the controversy surrounding the march. Any further action will depend on the police process and the relevant legal proceedings.
