Ahead of the assembly election in Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that his guarantee outweighs all false promises made by the Congress. Addressing a public meeting in Dungarpur district, he asked the people of Rajasthan to wipe out the Ashok Gehlot government to free the state from oppression and corruption.

The Prime Minister claimed that Congress departure is also necessary in the state for quick implementation of Centre’s schemes. He said that democracy has given the people of Rajasthan an opportunity to end the misrule of the Congress government and that they should not let this opportunity go. 

Mentioning that PM Modi’s guarantee begins from where the hope from Congress for the welfare of the poor and public ends, he urged voters to wipe out Congress and free Rajasthan from riots, crimes and corruption. He asserted that the Congress government has committed scams in every government recruitment in Rajasthan. 

PM Narendra Modi remarked that there is such a business between Congress leaders and their close ones that their children become officers and common people’s children are selectively thrown out. He further said the people of Rajasthan should note down that the Gehlot government will not return to the state.

Meanwhile, earlier on Wednesday, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter and listed down points why the people should vote for his party. In the list underlining why Congress should retain its power in the state, the Congress leader claimed that cheapest LPG cylinders, best free treatment, interest free loans to farmers, education to every child in English school are facilitated in Rajasthan.

Rajasthan will hold assembly elections on November 25 to elect 200 members of the state legislative assembly. The counting of the votes will take place on December 3. The Ashok Gehlot led Congress government is looking forward to retaining its power in the state.

Bengal Governor

CV Ananda Bose has resigned as the Governor of West Bengal, according to sources. The development comes ahead of the upcoming state assembly election and follows a period marked by differences between the governor and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Sources indicated that Bose is currently in Delhi. However, the reasons behind his resignation have not yet been made public.

Reacting to the development, Mamata Banerjee said she was “shocked and deeply concerned” by the sudden move.

She also claimed that RN Ravi, who is presently serving as the Governor of Tamil Nadu, will be appointed as the next Governor of West Bengal.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Banerjee said the reasons for Bose’s resignation were not known to her at the moment.

“The reasons behind his resignation are not known to me at this moment. However, given the prevailing circumstances, I would not be surprised if the Governor has been subjected to some pressure from the Union Home Minister to serve certain political interests on the eve of the forthcoming State Assembly elections,” she wrote.

Banerjee further alleged that the Union Home Minister informed her that RN Ravi would be appointed as the Governor of West Bengal, but said she was not consulted beforehand.

She said such a move goes against established conventions and weakens the federal structure.

“Union Home Minister just informed me that Shri R.N. Ravi is being appointed as Governor of West Bengal. He never consulted with me as per the established convention in this regard. Such actions undermine the spirit of the Constitution of India and strike at the very foundation of our federal structure. The Centre must respect the principles of cooperative federalism and refrain from taking unilateral decisions that erode democratic conventions and the dignity of States,” Banerjee said.

BJP to launch 5,000-km Parivartan Yatra across West Bengal ahead of Assembly elections

Published

BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will begin its large-scale ‘Parivartan Yatra’ in poll-bound West Bengal from Sunday, marking a major political outreach drive ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections.

The party said the campaign is designed to mobilise support across the state and counter what it alleges has been more than a decade of “corrupt, undemocratic, and anti-people governance” under the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC).

Statewide mobilisation across nine divisions

According to party leaders, the Yatra will be conducted simultaneously in all nine organisational divisions of West Bengal. The outreach programme is expected to cover nearly 5,000 kilometres, passing through 38 organisational districts and more than 230 Assembly constituencies.

The BJP estimates the initiative will generate over one crore direct public touchpoints, focusing heavily on face-to-face interactions and grassroots engagement. As part of the campaign plan, the party has scheduled 63 large rallies and 281 welcome meetings at key entry points of Assembly constituencies.

With the slogan “Paltano Dorkar, Chai BJP Sorkar”, the party has framed the Yatra as both an electoral campaign and a broader political movement aimed at strengthening its organisational presence across the state.

Focus on governance, law and order, and corruption

The party’s messaging during the Yatra will centre on governance, accountability, and systemic reforms. BJP leaders plan to raise concerns related to women’s safety, alleged corruption in the education sector, including teacher recruitment issues, and what they describe as threats to national security.

Party sources indicated that demographic changes, illegal infiltration, and the presence of extremist elements in border districts will also be key themes during the campaign.

In rural areas, the outreach will emphasise agricultural infrastructure, implementation of centrally sponsored schemes, and removal of intermediaries. In urban regions, the narrative will focus on industrial development, youth employment, and improvements in urban transport systems.

Senior leaders to participate

More than 100 senior leaders from the central and state units are expected to be involved in the Yatra. The inaugural phase, scheduled for Sunday and Monday, will feature five launch events on the first day and four on the second.

Senior BJP leaders including Amit Shah, JP Nadda, Rajnath Singh, Dharmendra Pradhan, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and Nitin Nabin are expected to attend various programmes during the campaign.

After a short break for Holi, the Yatra will resume from March 5 to March 10, with each unit operating for approximately nine hours daily. The campaign is set to culminate in a major public meeting at Kolkata’s Brigade Ground, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address supporters.

The BJP is positioning the Parivartan Yatra as a significant step in reshaping the political landscape of West Bengal as the state moves closer to the Assembly elections.

BJP alliances in Assam likely to be sealed by March 10

Published

himanta

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has indicated that the alliance between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) is expected to be finalised by March 10 ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections.

The AGP, a long-time ally of the BJP in Assam, is also a founding member of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Discussions between the partners are progressing, with indications that the formal announcement could come within days.

Sources said there could be “friendly fights” between the BJP and AGP in a few constituencies. Such arrangements may be considered to accommodate local-level aspirations and party workers from both sides.

The BJP is also likely to conclude seat-sharing discussions with the Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) by March 10. In the previous Assembly election, the BPF had aligned with the Indian National Congress (Congress), but it has now returned to the NDA fold.

However, seat-sharing talks between the BJP and its other Bodoland-region partner, the United People’s Party Liberal (UPPL), are reportedly facing hurdles. Earlier, Mr Sarma had stated that the UPPL would not join hands with the Congress.

On the opposition side, the Congress is dealing with its own alliance challenges. Negotiations with Akhil Gogoi-led Raijor Dal are underway, but sources suggested that discussions have not been progressing smoothly.

Congress sources said seat-sharing arrangements with the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) and Left parties are almost finalised. An official announcement is awaited from the party’s high command.

As political negotiations intensify, both the ruling NDA and the opposition camp are working to conclude alliances and seat-sharing deals in the run-up to the state polls.
