‘Modi Ji has lost mental balance’: Bhupesh Baghel on ‘Corrupt No 1’ remark
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments on former PM Rajiv Gandhi ‘ending his life as bhrashtachari (corrupt) number one’.
“Rajiv Gandhi ji passed away years ago, talking about him and that too during elections shows Modi ji has lost mental balance. He needs medical treatment. He says he only gets to sleep for three to four hours. Those who don’t get enough sleep tend to lose their mental balance,” Baghel told reporters in Raipur on Monday, news agency ANI reported.
BJP ministers have defended PM Modi’s comments on Rajiv Gandhi, and the Prime Minister himself on Monday pressed on with his attack on the Gandhis, challenging the Congress to ‘fight polls in the name of the Bofors-accused former PM’.

“Your father was termed ‘Mr Clean’ by his courtiers, but his life ended as ‘bhrashtachari number 1’ (corrupt number 1),” PM Modi said at a rally in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday.
PM Modi’s reference was to corruption allegations in the purchase of Bofors guns in the 1980s. Rajiv Gandhi, who was assassinated in 1991 by terrorists, had got a clean chit from the court in the Bofors case. The Delhi High Court said there was no evidence that he accepted bribes and eventually dismissed all charges against the accused persons in the politically sensitive case.

The PM’s statement has been condemned not just by Rahul Gandhi’s sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and former union minister P Chidambaram, but also other opposition leaders like Akhilesh Yadav and Arvind Kejriwal.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda also slammed PM Modi and said that he was ashamed as a Gujarati that PM Modi said such things.

On Sunday, Rahul Gandhi responded to PM Modi’s comments on his father with a tweet – and a hug. “Modi Ji, The battle is over. Your Karma awaits you. Projecting your inner beliefs about yourself onto my father won’t protect you. All my love and a huge hug. Rahul,” read the tweet from the Congress chief, who made headlines last year by hugging the Prime Minister on the floor of parliament.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text](With ANI Inputs)[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Lok Sabha elections 2024: AIADMK breaks alliance with BJP, NDA
AIADMK deputy coordinator K P Munusamy stated that the state leadership of the BJP has been continuously making unnecessary remarks about their former leaders, their general secretary EPS and their cadres for the past one year.
In a major setback to the BJP-led NDA ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the AIADMK on Monday announced to break alliance with the BJP. AIADMK unanimously passed a resolution in this regard.
Announcing the decision, AIADMK deputy coordinator K P Munusamy stated that the state leadership of the BJP has been continuously making unnecessary remarks about their former leaders, their general secretary EPS and their cadres for the past one year.
The major decision follows months of speculation over the strained relationships between the AIADMK and the BJP. Notably, Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai repeatedly commented against AIADMK leaders and that did not earn him any wrath as the BJP was seemingly okay with Annamalai’s attack.
AIADMK spokesperson D Jayakumar termed Annamalai a destructive pest for his comments on Tamil Nadu’s first chief minister CN Annadurai and this back and forth between the two allies clouded their future. The decision was welcomed by the AIADMK party workers and they celebrated the announcement by bursting crackers in Chennai.
This break-up was developing in the background when K Palaniswami met Amit Shah on September 14. Following that, an AIADMK delegation made a trip to Delhi where they are believed to have discussed the alliance issue with BJP chief JP Nadda and BJP leader Piyush Goyal.
As per reports, these trips did not come up with any positive results as the BJP national leadership did not intervene in the state-level feud. Meanwhile, AIADMK is not part of the opposition bloc Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance. It affirmed on Monday that it will lead a separate front in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Chhattisgarh: Rahul Gandhi says PM Modi also has a remote control but he presses it secretly
The Congress MP said when he questioned PM Modi on Adani in the Lok Sabha and his Lok Sabha membership got cancelled.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched Mukhyamantri Gramin Awas Nyay Yojana in Chhattisgarh through a remote control. He said PM Narendra Modi also has a remote control but he presses it secretly. Rahul Gandhi waved a remote control at the event in Chhattisgarh and said BJPs remote controls are all secret. Gandhi said the Congress party presses the remote control in the open. But the BJP presses secretly and the public sector becomes private and Adaniji gets Mumbai airport.
The Congress MP said when he questioned PM Modi on Adani in the Lok Sabha and his Lok Sabha membership got cancelled. He attacked the BJP government at the Centre after PM Modi addressed a rally in the poll bound Madhya Pradesh and said the Congress party has rusted like iron. PM Modi said Congress would push back Madhya Pradesh in the sick category whereas 1.5 crore people came out of poverty under the BJP rule in the last five years.
According to PM Modi the Congress and its allies have supported the bill out of hesitation and compulsion as they understood the power of Nari Shakti. PM Modi said Modi means the guarantee of fulfilling guarantees. Rahul Gandhi repeated what he had said in the Lok Sabha during his intervention on the women’s reservation bill.
He said there are only 3 OBC bureaucrats working for the government of India. Rahul Gandhi said caste census is the X-ray of Hindustan. The caste census will determine how many Dalits, SC/STs are there. Gandhi said the government is running away from caste census. He promised the congress will do a caste census.
In all Congress ruled states the public is at the centre and the government is not run by Adaniji. Talking to the media on Sunday Rahul Gandhi said he was confident Congress is winning the election in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. In Rajasthan the fight would be close Gandhi predicted.

Ramesh Bidhuri remarks row: BJP MP meets party’s President JP Nadda
Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also came out in support of Danish Ali. The BSP MP was verbally abused during the discussion of the success of Chandrayaan 3 in the Lok Sabha.
BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri who had been served notice on the instruction of party’s President JP Nadda met the latter on Monday. He was served a showcause notice after a vulgar outburst in the Lok Sabha which was caught on camera and fiercely condemned by the opposition.
Meanwhile on Sunday, the Bharatiya Janata Party denied to comment on his use of anti-Muslim slurs. Following a day after he was publicly abused, MP Danish Ali told NDTV that he had been unable to sleep and was on the verge of a mental breakdown. The BSP MP also added that he was considering quitting the Parliament if no action is taken against Ramesh Bidhuri.
On Sunday, MP Ali was targeted by another BJP MP, Nishikant Dubey, over allegations he had used casteist slurs against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that he feared the comment was to provoke his physical lynching outside the Parliament since the verbal lynching had already begun.
Speaking on the matter, Danish Ali stated that BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker is to create a narrative pertaining to his lynching outside Parliament as his verbal lynching already took place. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey had demanded the Speaker to investigate Mr Ali’s indecent words and conduct. Nishikant Dubey’s demand was backed by a third BJP MP.
In addition, BJP MP Ravi Kisan Shukla on Sunday also wrote to the Speaker and demanded an inquiry into Danish Ali’s unparliamentary acts and language. In his letter, Ravi Shukla blamed Ramesh Bidhuri’s quite inappropriate comments on continuous heckling and disturbance by Danish Ali.
On the day of the incident, Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla took serious note of the foul language and warned the BJP MP of strict action if the behaviour is repeated. On the other hand, opposition MP’s were quick to point out that non-BJP lawmakers had been suspended or even barred from a full session for less horrific remarks.
Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also came out in support of Danish Ali. The BSP MP was verbally abused during the discussion of the success of Chandrayaan 3 in the Lok Sabha.
