Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed in Alladurg, Telangana’s Sangareddy district, on Tuesday. During the rally PM claimed that if Congress comes to power, they will bring out inheritance tax. Since the Lok Sabha voting date schedule was revealed, this is PM Modi’s second visit to the state.

During the rally, PM Modi slammed Congress and said, when the whole world was progressing, India was suffering from policy paralysis under Congress government. He also said black money collected through Double R tax in Telangana is going to Delhi. Congress government in Telangana did not fulfill promise of loan waiver even 100 days after coming to power, says PM Modi.

The PM continued saying that the Congress had planned to collect 55% as inheritance tax, if it comes to power.

PM Modi at Telangana rally also took a jibe at former Chief Minister led-BRS party and said first it was that party which looted Telangana and now it is Congress.

For the BJP, Telangana is a crucial southern state in terms of strategy, since the party wants to gain a sizable number of seats in order to move closer to its lofty goal of 370 Lok Sabha seats. Amit Shah, the home minister, had earlier stated that Telangana should win ten seats out of a total of 17.

Meanwhile, Amit Shah will launch his campaign on May 1 in an effort to increase support for Madhavi Latha, the BJP’s candidate in Hyderabad, who is running against the sitting member of the legislature, Asaduddin Owaisi of AIMIM.

The BJP won four seats in Telangana in the previous 2019 elections. All candidates fielded by the party were from their respective constituencies, with the exception of Soyam Bapurao (Adilabad).

Along with National General Secretary Bandi Sanjay Kumar (Karimnagar), Nizamabad MP D Arvind, and BJP Telangana leader and Union minister G Kishan Reddy, who is running from Secunderabad, they have already begun strong campaigns in their respective electoral division.

The Election Commission of India asked the Aam Aadmi Party to modify its election campaign song on Sunday. The Election Commission pointed out that the phrase jail ke jawaab me hum vote denge shows an aggressive mob holding the photo of Arvind Kejriwal showing him behind bars, casts a bad impression of the judiciary. The ECI added that the phrase appears several times in the advertisement which contravenes the provisions of ECI Guidelines and Rule 6(1\(g) of Programme and Advertising Codes prescribed under the Cable Television Network Rules, 1994.

AAP minister Atishi attacked the ECI for putting a ban on the party’s Lok Sabha election campaign song. She said this has happened for the first time in the history of India that the Election Commission has put a ban on the election song of a political party.

The Election Commission listed some of the phrases that it found in violation of codes. The phrase: Tanashahi party ko hum chot denge with the video clip showing the protesters clash with the police (running from 00:21 to 00:23) incites violence. The phrase: gunda gardi ke khilaf vote denge and Tanashahi karne wali party ko hum chot denge running from duration 00:27 to 00:32 Sec with the video clip showing Manish Sisodia being escorted by the police. The words and the video clip shows the police in bad light.

The Election Commision said the phrase: Awazein khilaf thi jo sabko jail me daal dia, bas unko hi bahar rakha jisne inko maal dia. Itna lalach, itna nafrat, bhrastachari se mohabbat shows slanderous remarks and is a criticism of BJP on the basis of unverified facts and also casts bad impression of the judiciary. The Election Commission stated that the phrase Tanashahi party ko hum chot denge with the video clip showing aggressive mob clashing with the police shows criticism of the ruling party based on unverified facts.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for allegedly insulting Hindu kings but not saying a word on atrocities committed by Muslim rulers like Aurangzeb. The prime minister was addressing an election rally in Karnataka’s Belagavi where he said, the statements made by the Shehzada of Congress have been made very thoughtfully to appease their vote bank. But the Shehzada does not utter a word about the atrocities committed by the Nizams, Nawabs, Badshahs and Sultans.

Congress does not remember the atrocities committed by Aurangzeb who destroyed thousands of Hindu temples.  He said Congress forms political alliances with parties who praise Aurangzeb. PM Modi said the Congress do not talk about all those who destroyed Hindu pilgrimage sites, looted them, killed Hindu people, and killed cows.

The Prime Minister was referring to a video clip of Rahul Gandhi which was shared by many BJP leaders. In the video clip, the Gandhi is heard saying, during the rule of Rajas and Maharajas, they could do whatever they wanted and even grab someone’s land. The Congress fought for India’s independence and brought democracy in the country.

PM Modi also mentioned the death of a Karnataka Congress corporator’s daughter, who was killed by her former colleague in her college.  He said the Congress government gives priority to appeasement and for them, the lives of daughters like Neha have no value. The prime minister further added that the Congress is only concerned about its vote bank.

Neha Hiremath, daughter of Congress Councillor of Hubballi-Dharwad Municipal Corporation Niranjan Hiremath, was murdered on the campus of BVB College on April 18 by her ex-classmate Fayaz. PM Modi accused Congress for supporting anti national parties like PFI (Popular Front of India) for votes which is an anti-national organisation that gives shelter to terrorism and which has been banned by the Modi government.
