Look at Karnataka BJP's 'disastrous legacy': Siddaramaiah tells PM Modi

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his 'guarantees' comment, saying he should look at the 'disastrous' legacy of BJP Karnataka unit before pointing fingers at the Congress. He joined the war of words between the Congress and the BJP over AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge's remark on poll guarantees at a party event. "Mr. @narendramodi, before pointing fingers at Congress, take a hard look at @BJP4Karnataka's disastrous legacy in Karnataka!

BJP MLA Yatnal demands PM Modi to nationalise Waqf owned properties

Karnataka BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to nationalise the Waqf properties. He said the overreach of the Waqf Boards and the lack of accountability have led to significant distress among property owners. Calling it a "Tyranny of Waqf Board", the former union minister said it is claiming lands of farmers, mutts, temples and landowners, which is against the principles of equality enshrined in our Constitution. The current Waqf Act, under which Waqf Boards operate, has led to widespread issues, including the unauthorised acquisition of private lands, farms, historical institutions, and even properties predating independence, the Vijayapura BJP MLA alleged. "In light of these concerns, I humbly request your esteemed office to consider nationalising Waqf properties to ensure fair administration and to prevent further injustices," the MLA said. "The overreach and apparent lack of accountability have led to significant distress among propert

BJP's Barhait nominee Gamliyel Hembrom filed the complaint with the EC on October 30, alleging that Soren provided wrong information about his age in the affidavit. Speaking to reporters here over the BJP's allegation regarding the age of Soren, Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said, "They will tell new things to divert common man's issues." Hembrom, in his complaint, alleged that Soren mentioned 42 years as his age in the affidavit filed in the 2019 Jharkhand assembly elections.

Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta, who visited the Shastri Park area on Friday, claimed hundreds of roads in the city were lying in disrepair despite promises by former chief minister Kejriwal and his successor Atishi to repair them before Diwali. "AAP should stop indulging in politics and blame game and focus on local sources of pollution such as dust that are more responsible for the hazardous air quality in Delhi," Gupta said. He said the air pollution situation in Delhi was as bad as it was before Diwali and added that AAP and Kejriwal should stop "misleading" the people. They said the rise in pollution was due to the firecrackers, indulging in politics over the issue, he charged. "If all the damaged roads in the city are repaired and sanitation is improved, polluti
