Akhilesh Yadav denies BJP-RLD buzz, says who wants BJP invite

Speaking on BJPs meeting with Jat leaders at Parvesh Verma’s residence in Delhi, the Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav denied the buzz about a post-poll alliance between the BJP and the RLD’s Jayant Choudhary. Imagine what condition they’re in that they’re sending invites, he said.

The Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav and the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief Jayant Chaudhary addressed a joint press conference on Friday in Muzaffarnagar.

The joint conference of SP-RLD comes two days after the BJP invited Jayant Chaudhary for a meeting at the residence of BJP MP Parvesh Verma in Delhi. The meeting was also attended by the party’s prominent Jat leaders including Union Minister Sanjeev Balyan who is an MP from Muzaffarnagar in western Uttar Pradesh.

Speaking on BJPs meeting with Jat leaders, the SP chief denied the buzz about a post-poll alliance between the BJP and the RLD’s Jayant Choudhary. Imagine what condition they’re in that they’re sending invites, he said.

Yadav also said the SP-RLD alliance is carrying forward the legacy of Chaudhary Charan Singh who wanted to make farmers prosperous. A historic SP-RLD win will wipe out the BJP from Uttar Pradesh, Yadav claimed.

Soon after the BJPs meeting with Jat leaders in Delhi, the RLD chief had dismissed the speculation referring to the farmers who have lost their lives during 15-months long farmers protest. The BJP should have given invitations to those 700 farmer families whose houses the rulling party has destroyed in the historical protest.

Akhilesh Yadav this evening yet again targeted the rival party over the farm laws and said the BJP enacted three farm laws in an undemocratic manner, without any consultations, and tried forcing it on the farmers but the farmers opposed it and the Samajwadi Party supported them.

The SP will never allow BJP to force its decisions on anyone in Uttar Pradesh. This is the way BJP works. They bring laws and change later on a whim, he said.

Uttar Pradesh will begin the first phase voting from February 10 in phases. The counting of votes will be held on March 10.

JMM-RJD-Congress are supporters of Bangladesh infiltrators: PM Modi at Jharkhand rally

JMM-RJD-Congress are supporters of Bangladesh infiltrators: PM Modi at Jharkhand rally

Ahead of the Jharkhand Assembly election, PM Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the incumbent Hemant Soren government, accusing it to put appeasement at the top of its agenda.

While addressing a rally in Jharkhand’s Garhwa, the Prime Minister said the coalition government of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Congress and RJD are supporters of Bangladesh infiltrators. He said that the JMM-RJD-Congress government has taken appeasement to its peak, and that these parties are destroying the state’s social harmony. He alleged that the parties are supporters of infiltrators, and to get votes of Bangladesh infiltrators, they are getting them settled across Jharkhand.

The Prime Minister stated that when schools disallow Saraswati Vandana, one can imagine how big the danger is. When there is stone-pelting during festivals, Maa Durga is stopped and curfew is imposed, one knows how dangerous it is, he continued. The Prime Minister also added that when the issue of infiltration goes to court and the administration denies, it becomes clear that the government machinery has been infiltrated. PM Modi was referring to allegations that a Muslim teacher stopped prayers to Goddess Saraswati at a school in Jharkhand’s Giridih.

Narendra Modi further claimed that if the bad policies of JMM, Congress and RJD continue, the adivasi society in Jharkhand will shrink, and advised people to use their vote to uproot this infiltrator coalition. He maintained that Jharkhand’s swift development is possible only if it has a government that expedites the implementation of central schemes.

Referring to the JMM’s decision to replace Champai Soren as Chief Minister after Hemant Soren was granted bail in a money laundering case, PM Modi said that the party has left no stones unturned in humiliating an adivasi son. He asked how the party will take care of the people of the state when nothing matters to them more than family. He added that he does not have a family, and the people are his family. He also mentioned that Champai Soren, once a trusted lieutenant of Hemant Soren, is now with the BJP.

Slamming the ruling coalition of corruption, he said that corruption hollows out the country like termites, and destroys the poor, Dalits, people from backward classes and tribals. He claimed that Jharkhand has seen for five years the corruption of the JMM-Congress-RJD government.

He also referred to the massive cash haul from the home of Congress’s former Rajya Sabha MP Dhiraj Sahu last year. Mentioning that mountains of cash are recovered from the home of Congress’s Rajya Sabha MP, he questioned if this money didn’t belong to Jharkhand.

Ruckus in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly over resolution against Article 370 abrogation

Ruckus in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly over resolution against Article 370 abrogation

Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Monday witnessed chaos after People’s Democratic Party (PDP) MLA Waheed Para moved a resolution opposing the abrogation of Article 370 and called for restoring the union territory’s special status.

Waheed Para, the PDP MLA from the Pulwama Assembly seat, submitted the resolution to newly elected Speaker, Abdul Rahim Rather and requested for a discussion on the matter during the five-day session, despite not being a part of the agenda.

It was submitted that although the agenda of the House has been finalised, they believe that the authority as the Speaker allows the inclusion of the resolution, as it reflects the sentiment of the people at large. After the resolution was submitted, all 28 Jammu and Kashmir BJP MLAs stood up to oppose the move, leading to noisy scenes inside the Assembly.

As the members protested, BJP MLA Sham Lal Sharma demanded Para’s suspension for bringing the resolution in violation of Assembly rules. The agitation continued even after the Speaker repeatedly requested the protesting members to take their seats. He asserted the resolution has not come to him yet and when it does, he would examine it.

While the BJP members refused to call off their protest, National Conference MLAs slammed them for interrupting the proceedings of the House. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah addressing the session, said that the resolution has no importance and it is only for the cameras.

The Chief Minister added that how the House will reflect and discuss this matter will not be decided by any one member. If there was a purpose behind the resolution, then they would have discussed this with the government before, he continued.

Nonetheless, CM Abdullah also admitted that the people of Jammu and Kashmir do not approve of the decision taken on August 5, 2019, when Article 370 was abrogated. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha also said that his government will make all efforts for the restoration of full statehood. He mentioned that restoration of full statehood would be a reciprocation of the faith reposed by the people of Jammu and Kashmir in democratic institutions.

Meanwhile, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti expressed that she was proud of Waheed Para for submitting the resolution.

Notably, Article 370 was a provision in the Constitution that granted special autonomy to the region of Jammu and Kashmir. It also allowed the state to have its own constitution, flag, and autonomy over internal matters except defense, communications, and foreign affairs.

However, the Centre on August 5, 2019 revoked Article 370, effectively removing the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and reorganising it into two Union Territories namely, Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
