Gehlot responsible for stalling East Rajasthan Canal project: Rathore

Rajasthan BJP leader Rajendra Rathore on Monday targeted the Congress' awareness campaign on the ERCP, saying Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath were responsible for stalling the canal project. Interacting with reporters at the BJP headquarters here, Rathore, who is the Leader of Opposition in Rajasthan Assembly, said when Nath was the chief minister of neighbouring Madhya Pradesh, he had refused to give a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to Rajasthan for the project. Attacking Gehlot, Rathore said the state government is claiming to complete the project by 2051 and has announced to spend Rs 37,000 crores on it. However, no work has been done till now, Rathore said, adding that Gehlot was not a chief minister but a "minister of announcements". He said the CM had talked about creating an ERCP Corporation and giving Rs 13,000 crore to it but not even a single penny has been spent on the project so far. The then chief minister of Madhya Prad

MP assembly elections: Samajwadi Party releases list of nine candidates

The Samajwadi Party (SP) on Sunday declared a list of nine candidates for the assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh scheduled on November 17. SP leader Yash Bhartiya said the names of six candidates on the list were announced earlier while three new names were added to it. "The nine candidates include former MLA Meera Deepak Yadav who is fielded from the Niwari assembly constituency," said Bhartiya. The Akhilesh Yadav-led party is planning to contest all 230 seats in MP as of now, he said. Besides Niwari, the candidates are announced for Rajnagar, Bhander, Dhauhani, Chitrangi, Sirmaur, Bijawar, Katangi and Sidhi assembly seats. The SP had won one seat- Bijawar in Chhatarpur district- in the 2018 MP assembly elections. When Congress fell short of majority despite emerging as the single largest party in the previous polls, two BSP MLAs, one SP legislator and four Independents provided outside support to the then Kamal Nath-led government.
