Haryana minister slams Punjab govt over stubble burning; AAP hits back

Delhi grappling with severe AQI, Kejriwal doing 'political tourism': BJP

The Delhi BJP on Friday accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of indulging in "political tourism" at a time when the city residents are facing severe air pollution. The "inaction and insensitivity" of the Kejriwal government has turned Delhi into a "gas chamber", said Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva. There was no immediate reaction from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) which is in power in the national capital. "The AQI has reached 700 in Anand Vihar. Yesterday alone there were around 1,600 incidents of parali (paddy stubble) burning in Punjab. The next 48 hours are going to be very dreadful for Delhi," Sachdeva said in a statement. Sachdeva asked the Delhi chief minister about the status of smog towers, air purifiers, and water sprinklers to control the rising pollution. "Unfortunately, Kejriwal is busy with political tourism and there is no one to control air pollution. Delhiites are complaining of itching and breathlessness and children are falling ill. Only Kejriwal is respons

Mizoram Assembly elections 2023: Brus hold key to Hachhek constituency

Even though more than 35,000 Bru people have migrated to Tripura after ethnic riots more than a decade back, around 5,000 of the tribals as well as voters from other smaller minority tribes still hold the key to the Hachhek assembly constituency in Mamit district of Mizoram that will go to polls on November 7. The ruling Mizo National Front (MNF), the main opposition Zoram Peoples Movement (ZPM), the Congress and the BJP are leaving no stone unturned to earn the confidence of Bru voters who stayed back in their native villages in the assembly segment even after the signing of the quadripartite pact involving the Centre, the governments of Mizoram and Tripura and tribal leaders, which saw many Brus being permanently resettled in the neighbouring state. Of the 23,600 eligible electors, over 5,000 Bru voters may play a "key role as will around 2,000 voters belonging to Chakma and Tripuri tribes in the upcoming elections", said leaders cutting across the party lines.

Owaisi hits out at Rahul over his allegation of AIMIM taking money from BJP

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday hit out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his allegation that the AIMIM takes money from the BJP and fields candidates against the Congress in various states. Owaisi alleged that Gandhi makes such allegation against him because of the latter's hatred towards his religious identity. Addressing a public meeting at Sangareddy near here Thursday night, he took strong exception to Gandhi's accusation that the AIMIM, after taking money from the BJP, fields candidates wherever the Congress is fighting the BJP. Gandhi is parroting what someone has given to him in writing, he claimed. The AIMIM leader asked Gandhi how much money did he take to lose the elections from the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency. "Did you (Rahul) take money from BJP to lose elections in 2014 and 2019?" he asked. "Rahul Gandhi, you make these accusations because my name is Asaduddin. Because, I have beard on my face and wear skull cap, that's why you make allegations of

BJP MP acquitted in 2011 assault case, judge repeals lower court's verdict

A district court on Thursday acquitted BJP MP Ram Shankar Katheria in a 2011 case in which he was accused of violence, overturning the verdict of a lower court that had sentenced him to two years in jail. A two-year sentence could have led to the Etawah MPs disqualification from Parliament. The verdict of the Agra district judge's court comes three months after Katheria was held guilty by an MP/MLA court. The former Union minister was booked for thrashing staff members of Torrent Power Limited in Agra in 2011, when the state had a Bahujan Samaj Party government. On August 5, Special Magistrate MP/MLA Court Anuj held Katheria guilty of the charges and had imposed a penalty of Rs 50,000. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Katheria said, I was sentenced to two years jail by a court in Agra. After that I took legal help from my advocates and appealed before the Agra district judge's court. Today on November 2, I was acquitted by the court in the case. I respect the decision of the ...
