Yogi Helps BJP Make PM’s 68th Birthday Celebration a Grand Event

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Varanasi’s school students were lectured on “public welfare schemes and achievements” of Modi government

Prime Minister’s 68th birthday celebration on Sunday was arguably marked by grand celebrations for any Indian prime minister while in office. In fact, the scale of events this year even dwarfed Modi’s past three birthday celebrations as the Prime Minister.

The difference this year was largely made by Uttar Pradesh government headed by Yogi Adityanath.  UP witnessed most of the grand functions and events organized by the BJP.

Party’s Uttar Pradesh unit has proactively held innovative programs for last several days under “Sewa Diwas”. It was inaugurated on September 15 by President Ram Nath Kovind when he visited his hometown Kanpur.

On Sunday, the “Sewa Diwas” was observed by party leaders across the country. Several Union ministers were asked to spend  two hours on Sunday volunteering in efforts to promote Swachh Bharat mission.

In Lucknow, BJP held a grand event in front of the state assembly and party’s headquarter with a 110 feet tall cut-out of PM Modi and 1500 kilogram of ‘Laddoo’. A special ‘havan’ was also held to bring good health and longevity for the Prime Minister.

Party members in Varanasi also ensured that PM’s Lok Sabha constituency did not lag behind any other city in marking PM’s birthday. In first such program ever, student of the Varanasi’s nearly 130 government-run schools were lectured on “public welfare schemes and achievements” of the Modi government by party leaders on Saturday.

Reportedly, BJP was earlier planning to hold these functions on Sunday  in all schools but had to withdraw due to several reasons.

A BJP Yuva Morcha in Ahmedabad has been distributing pamphlets for the last few days asking people to “pledge” to not criticize the government and not “dirty” the country.

Meanwhile, a farmer’s association from Andhra Pradesh came up with the most interesting idea to mark PM’s birthday. Several farmers of the group have send cheques of 68 paise to the prime minister as a birthday gift in a bid to attract his attention towards their problems.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

In Haryana, Congress chief Kharge slams PM Modi, says promises made by BJP never fulfilled

Invoking Lal Bahadur Shastri’s “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan” slogan, he said the BJP doesn’t “know about jawans or kisans”.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he is an expert in telling lies and asked not to fall for BJP’s election promises as it never fulfilled commitments made to voters earlier.

Addressing a poll rally at Badhra in Charkhi Dadri, Kharge hit out at BJP over several issues, including demands for debt waiver and legal guarantee on MSP from farmers, and claimed people have made up their minds to bring the Congress to power in the state.

“Modi ji toh bharosa todne walo ka bhi sardar hai (Modi is the leader of those who break trust.) His numerous lies, promises, you know about them,” he said in the presence of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik.

Referring to Congress’ election promises in Haryana, Kharge said the party has given seven guarantees in its manifesto including Rs 2,000 per month for women and told Hooda, who was standing behind him, “You will have to keep my honour”.

“It is Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri’s birth anniversary today. Mahatma Gandhi taught us truth and non-violence. I don’t want to say this – how much truth and how much lies those in power speak,” he said.

The Congress chief said: “Under the Congress government, Haryana was number one in the country in per capita income, per capita investment, law and order, employment generation and sportspersons. But BJP made it number one in unemployment and inflation. The cost of farmers increased manifold but their income did not increase. In 10 years, BJP benefited the capitalists but exploited the farmers, small businessmen, labourers and youth.”

The grand old party has not named its chief ministerial candidate, but Hooda is a frontrunner for the post. The state will go for polls on Saturday.

Invoking Lal Bahadur Shastri’s “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan” slogan, he said the BJP doesn’t “know about jawans or kisans”.

“They only know the RSS’ agenda. No one is a farmer in the RSS or BJP. This is why they don’t understand the pain of the farmers. They help people like Adani-Ambani and not farmers. They don’t give MSP guarantee, but Modi waives Rs 16 lakh crore debt of the rich,” he said and also criticised the Agnipath military recruitment scheme.

Prashant Kishor floats Jan Suraaj Party, promises to remove liquor ban in Bihar

The Jan Suraaj Party founder said that Rs 5 lakh crore will be required over the next decade to achieve a world-class education system in the state.

Political strategist Prashant Kishor on Wednesday announced the launch of his political outfit Jan Suraaj Party, a much-anticipated move by which he hopes to take the political landscape in Bihar by storm and promised to remove the liquor ban if elected to power in the state.

The party was launched at Veterinary College Ground in the state capital in the presence of many renowned figures, including former Union Minister Devendra Prasad Yadav, diplomat-turned-politician Pavan Varma and ex-MP Monazir Hassan.

“Today, all of you have come to discuss about the launch of a new party, about the prospects of a new future for your children from this land of knowledge and democracy. Be patient, listen to the speakers and spread the motto of this party everywhere,” Kishor said.

The party was floated exactly two years after Kishor had embarked on a more than 3,000-km-long ‘padayatra’ of the state, from Champaran where Mahatma Gandhi had launched the first Satyagraha in the country, in a bid to mobilise the people for a “new political alternative” that could cure Bihar of its chronic backwardness.

Speaking on the occasion, Kishor said the party has been active for the past two or three years and recently received approval from the Election Commission of India.

Attacking the previous government, the I-pac founder said that earlier governments had not given proper importance to the education system in the state, adding that he called for a significant overhaul education system.  

The Jan Suraaj Party founder said that Rs 5 lakh crore will be required over the next decade to achieve a world-class education system in the state.

Emphasising the liquor ban in the state, Kishor said, “When the liquor ban will be removed, that money won’t go into the budget and will not be used for the security of leaders, nor it will be used for roads, water and electricity. That will be used only for building a new education system in Bihar. Every year, Bihar is facing a loss of Rs 20,000 crore due to the liquor ban. He suggested that this could be directed toward educational reform.”
