Rahul Gandhi slams Centre for insensitivity towards patients outside Aiims

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday met several patients and their families camped on the roads, footpaths and subways around AIIMS and accused the Centre and the Delhi government of showing "insensitivity" towards them. The leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha met the patients and families putting up on roads, footpaths and subways around AIIMS and enquired about their problems and grievances.

JD(U) urges ally BJP to act against Poonawalla's remark on 'Purvanchal'

The Janata Dal (United) on Thursday asked its ally BJP to act against Shehzad Poonawalla, a national spokesperson of the ruling party, for his comments targeting an AAP leader which, the regional party said, has caused deep displeasure among people from Purvanchal. In a statement, JD(U) spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan Prasad said, "Poonawalla has made a mistake. His comments have caused deep displeasure among people from Purvanchal. The JD(U) seeks action from the BJP's leadership against Poonawalla for his comments." In a heated discussion during a news channel debate on Wednesday, Poonawalla had played on AAP MLA Rituraj Jha's surname to take a jibe at him, a remark slammed as abusive by Delhi's ruling party. His swipe had come after Jha played with the BJP spokesperson's surname to take a dig at him. The BJP leader has insisted that he never abused anyone and accused the AAP of spreading "lies" and his character assassination. BJP's Purvanchali face and North East Delhi MP Manoj Tiwa

Bidhuri takes jab at CM Atishi calling her 'hirni', AAP says BJP anti-women

BJP candidate Ramesh Bidhuri on Wednesday again targeted Delhi chief minister and his rival from Kalkaji seat Atishi, saying she was running around like a "hirni" (doe) in the streets of the constituency ahead of assembly polls after doing little for the people for years. The BJP is "anti-women and makes disgraceful comments" about them, the AAP said in a statement, reacting to Bidhuri's remarks. Before filing his nomination papers from the Kalkaji Assembly seat on Wednesday, Bidhuri gave a speech in which he targeted the chief minister and AAP over alleged shortage of water and poor condition of roads in the area. "People are living in hell for four years. For four months before the polls, Atishi has been running around in the streets like a doe roams around in the jungle," he said. The senior BJP leader, who has often courted controversies with his uncouth remarks, had recently drawn flak for his comments on Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra after which he had expressed ...

Delhi WCD launches district-wise drive to trace Ladli Yojana beneficiaries

The Delhi Women and Child Development Department has initiated a district-wise drive to identify Ladli Yojana beneficiaries who have not claimed their entitled payments. Launched on January 1, 2008, to empower girl children born in Delhi, the Ladli Yojana provides financial assistance in the form of term deposits: Rs 11,000 for hospital births, Rs 10,000 for home births, and Rs 5,000 each at key milestones -- enrolment in classes one, two, six, nine, and 10. A WCD official said around 1.86 lakh beneficiaries have not claimed the benefits under the scheme, while 1.66 lakh have either failed to renew their applications or dropped out of school. The official said many children change districts for schooling but do not renew their registration under the scheme, often due to a lack of awareness. Others discontinue their education midway, further complicating the renewal process. "To address this, officials overseeing the scheme in Delhi's 11 districts have been instructed to prepare ann

Congress' 'ugly truth' exposed by its own leader, claims BJP's Nadda

Rahul Gandhi's remarks that "we are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian state itself" triggered a row on Wednesday, with BJP president J P Nadda claiming that the Congress' "ugly truth" has been exposed by its own leader. Nadda alleged on X that it is not a secret that Gandhi and his ecosystem have close links with urban naxals and the deep state who want to "defame, demean and discredit" India. He said Gandhi's repeated actions have also strengthened this belief. Everything he has done or said has been in the direction of breaking India and dividing our society, Nadda said. Speaking at the inauguration of the new building of the Congress party's headquarters, Gandhi had said earlier said that the BJP and the RSS have captured every single institution of our country. He added, "We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian state itself." Hitting back, Nadda said, "Hidden no more, Congress' ugly truth now stands exposed by their own leader".

Rahul Gandhi has now declared 'open war' against Indian state itself: BJP

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks that "we are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian state itself" triggered a row on Wednesday with the BJP alleging that his statement was straight out of "George Soros' playbook." Addressing party leaders after the inauguration of the Congress' new headquarters at 9A, Kotla Road here, Gandhi said, "Do not think that we are fighting a fair fight. There is no fairness in this. If you believe that we are fighting a political organisation called the BJP, that we are fighting a political organisation called the RSS, you have not understood what is going on. "The BJP and the RSS have captured every single institution of our country. We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS and the Indian state itself," he said. Sharing a video clip of Gandhi's remarks, BJP IT department head Amit Malviya said, "Rahul Gandhi has now declared an open war against the Indian State itself. This is straight out of George Soros's playbook." In his remarks, Gandhi said,
