'Cong gains power by fake guarantees to turn states into ATMs of 1 family'

Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Monday claimed the Congress comes to power by making fake guarantees and turning states into the ATM of one family. Addressing a press conference here in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, he alleged the Congress has nothing to do with public welfare but wants to get power through fake guarantees and by misleading people, as evident in Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka and Chhattisgarh. Everyone knows about the Congress and corruption as witnessed during the UPA government. Within four months of the Congress government in Karnataka, Rs 109 crore were found in the house of a contractor. Guarantees were not fulfilled but they started fulfilling their one motive - to make Karnataka an ATM, Chandrasekhar said. We had clearly said before the election that if the Congress is elected, Karnataka will become the ATM of one family and it was proved true, he claimed. The BJP leader said he belongs to Karnataka, where the Congress had given five major ...

Akhilesh targets UP govt over stray cattle menace, asks for total deaths

Samajwadi Party Akhilesh Yadav on Monday asked the Uttar Pradesh government to reveal the number of deaths due to attack by stray cattle in the past five years under the BJP's rule. Targeting the BJP government in the state, Yadav asked if the party leaders' statements on solving the stray cattle issue before the elections were genuine promises or just political rhetoric. "The BJP government in the state should issue a clarification on the stray cattle issue. How many people were killed or injured due to stray animals during BJP rule? How many of those who died due to stray animals were compensated and how much was given? How many stray animals are there in the cow shelters that have been opened?" Yadav asked in a post on X. "Were the statements on finding a solution to this problem within fifteen days of the elections a promise or just rhetoric?" Yadav said while sharing a newspaper report from Ayodhya on the issue. The SP chief also questioned the functioning of cow shelters in t

INDIA bloc formed to unseat 'dictatorial regime' at Centre: Shiv Sena (UBT)

Amid rumblings in the opposition INDIA alliance, the Shiv Sena (UBT) on Monday said the coalition has been formed to unseat the dictatorial regime at the Centre while politics in states is different. An editorial in the Sena (UBT) mouthpiece 'Saamana' also said the assembly polls scheduled this month in five states is a "dress rehearsal" for the Lok Sabha polls next year. It said the Congress is a major party in all the five poll-bound states - Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Mizoram. It is important for the Congress to win polls to stop the misuse of power and arrogance of money. This will be crucial for the INDIA alliance, the editorial said. It expressed confidence that the INDIA alliance will win the Lok Sabha polls in 2024. The Marathi daily said the concerns of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar are valid. Last week, Kumar blamed the Congress' preoccupation with assembly polls in five states for the INDIA coalition's inability to build on the momentum

Cong, BJP realising strength of 'PDA' ahead of polls: Akhilesh in MP

The Congress stopped caste census and implementation of the Mandal Commission report in the past and the BJP was taking a similar stand, but both parties know the importance of PDA, or pichhde (backwards), Dalits and Adivasis, said Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday. The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister claimed that the road where Prime Minister Narendra Modi's aircraft once landed was built by his SP government, apparently referring to the landing of a C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft on Purvanchal Express in November 2021. Addressing a rally in Jatara constituency in Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh, where assembly elections will be held on November 17, Yadav said both the Congress and the BJP are now talking about caste census and reservations to woo the PDA segment. It was the Congress that stopped the caste census and refused to implement the Mandal Commission report. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is taking the same path. Now, Congress and BJP are
