Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday accused the Congress of not implementing reservation for the OBC community despite the party ruling from "panchayat to Parliament" for so many years after Independence. Addressing a public rally in Mahasamund district of Chhattisgarh, Modi said the Congress' only target is to loot Chhattisgarh and fill its own coffers.

Kamareddy, typically a low-key constituency in Telangana, is thrust into limelight as Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao will be contesting here and opposition Congress is fielding its state unit president A Revanth Reddy. Over 100 kms from here, Kamareddy became a talking point after Rao announced his decision in August to contest from the constituency.

When it nominated seven MPs, including three Union ministers, and a general secretary for Madhya Pradesh assembly elections and organised whirlwind tours of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP left no room for doubt about its singular resolve to retain power in the state at any cost. Behind its high-decibel campaign, powered by well-organised party machinery, the BJP also appears to have made a slight departure from its next generation' approach to stay ahead of an aggressive Congress and enhance its prospects of securing a majority of seats. The saffron party seems to have gone a bit easy over age this time by fielding 14 candidates who are 70-plus, with the oldest being 80. In contrast, the opposition Congress has fielded nine septuagenarians for the November 17 polls. According to political observers, BJP's move to go with warhorses could be the fallout of its drubbing in the Karnataka elections where it apparently picked younger candidates over old-timers like former chief ...

Union home minister Amit Shah on Saturday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the country secure by stopping infiltration which the opposition's INDIA grouping or the Congress party are incapable of doing. The BJP leader was speaking at a public meeting in Manawar assembly constituency in Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh ahead of the November 17 assembly elections. Modi has made our country infiltration-free and secured it. Recently, the NIA launched raids across the country and cracked down heavily on Rohingya infiltration. Can the INDI alliance stop infiltration? Can the Congress party stop it?" he asked. The Modi government banned the Popular Front of India (PFI) and made Kashmir an integral part of the country by abrogating Article 370, Shah said. "At that time Rahul Baba (Congress leader Rahul Gandhi) used to say that if Article 370 is removed, blood will flow through the streets of the (Kashmir) valley. But neither blood flowed, nor anyone did dare pelt stones," he ...
During his address, Shah also said that Congress would foist a 'Teen Tigaada-Kaam Bigaada' (too many cooks playing spoiler) government on the people if elected
Pressing for recognition of Sarna as a separate religion, tribal activists on Saturday threatened to immolate themselves if Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not make any announcement on it during his proposed November 15 visit to Jharkhand. Tribal activists will also observe fast between 10 AM to 1 PM in Jharkhand and other states on the day in support of the demand.
