Rahul Gandhi running 'Jhooth Ki Dukaan', says MP CM Chouhan

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Tuesday said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who talks about Mohabbat Ki Dukaan (shop of love), actually runs Jhooth Ki Dukaan (shop of lies). Chouhan, in a statement, said Gandhi, while addressing a gathering in the poll-bound state, only dished out lies. Earlier in the day, the Congress MP addressed a rally at Beohari in Shahdol district of Madhya Pradesh, where assembly polls will be held on November 17. "Rahul Gandhi talks about 'Mohabbat Ki Dukaan' but actually he runs 'Jhooth KI Dukaan' and he lied at the rally also," Chouhan said. The CM said Gandhi, at the gathering, was actually counting "dark deeds" done by Congress governments in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan because every section of society in Madhya Pradesh is happy due to welfare programmes and development works of the BJP government in the last nearly two decades. The Congress MP had promised a farm loan waiver during the 2018 elections in MP and vowed to remove ...

Amit Shah's speech at Adilabad rally 'filled with lies': BRS leader KTR

The working president of the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) in Telangana, K T Rama Rao, alleged on Tuesday that Union Home Minister Amit Shah's comments at a public meeting in Adilabad were full of lies. Taking a dig at Shah, Rama Rao also said it is ironic to hear him speak of dynastic politics. "Amit Shah's statements at the Adilabad public meeting are filled with blatant lies. Amit Shah has become a laughing stock in Telangana," Rama Rao, the son of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), said in a statement. The home minister should clarify "where his son Jay Shah played cricket or provided coaching" before being appointed as secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), he added. "Amit Shah, during a speech in Adilabad district five years ago, pledged to revive the dormant Cement Corporation of India. Half a decade later, the promise remains unfulfilled," the BRS leader said. He accused the BJP-led government at the Centre of neglecting Telangana. In

A BJP leader accused in a rioting case and a villager whose son was killed in a communal clash have been given tickets by the saffron party for the Chhattisgarh assembly polls scheduled next month. While the opposition BJP in Chhattisgarh has justified its decision to field these two candidates, a political observer said communalism may feature in the state poll campaign this time. Asked whether the BJP was trying to raise the issue of communal violence by giving these tickets, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said, "No matter how hard they try, it will not be an issue."
