Will stay alive till PM Modi is removed from power: Kharge at J&K rally

Asserting that the Congress will fight for the restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir, party president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday said he will not die until Prime Minister Narendra Modi is removed from power. Kharge, who became unwell while addressing a poll rally in Kathua district, made the remarks after being administered medical assistance.

They only started preparing for elections after the Supreme Court's intervention." "We will fight to restore statehood. We are not going to leave it. I am 83 years old, I am not going to die so early. I will stay alive until PM Modi is removed from power. I will listen to you. I will fight for you," Kharge told the rally in the Jasrota belt.

Everyone in Congress jostling among themselves to become Haryana CM: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said stability is a far-fetched thing for the Congress because of its infighting and now everyone in the party is jostling among themselves to become chief minister in Haryana with "Bapu" (Bhupinder Singh Hooda) and "Beta" (Deepender Hooda) also the contenders. Addressing a poll rally here, he recalled the days when he worked for party organisation in Haryana and said, "It has been my fortune that Haryana has given me a lot, taught me a lot." Haryana's mothers and sisters have given a slogan "Mahra Haryana-Non-stop Haryana" and Haryana's development should continue non-stop and that's why people have made up their mind to give chance for third time to BJP, Modi said. From everywhere, one voice is heard -- "Bharosa dil se, BJP phir se", he said. Haryana goes to polls on October 5. As voting day draws near, the Congress is falling, Modi said. Congress leaders have started to say that in Haryana they will face the same situation what the gran

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday and sought early release of pending funds for Chennai metro and integrated education initiatives, besides an intervention to protect Tamil fishermen. The DMK president, who described the meeting as "purposeful", presented a detailed report on three main issues. "The Prime Minister listened patiently," Stalin told reporters after the meeting.

He clarified that while Tamil Nadu has incorporated positive elements of the National Education Policy, it has not acce

PM Modi's monopoly model took away jobs, devastated MSMEs: Rahul Gandhi

Alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "monopoly model" has taken away jobs in the country, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday stressed the need for simplifying the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and opening up the banking system to small businesses to promote job creation. Sharing a video of the "Dogri Dham with RG" event hosted by the All India Professionals' Congress (AIPC) in Jammu on Wednesday, Gandhi said on X that the frustration in the eyes of a young start-up owner from Jammu and Kashmir reflects the struggles of most entrepreneurs and small-business owners in India. "'Modi ji's monopoly model' has taken away jobs, devastated MSMEs and deprived people of opportunity," the former Congress chief said. "The systematic attack on small and medium industries through incompetent policies like a bad GST and demonetisation has turned India from a producing economy to a consuming one. At this rate we can neither compete with China nor ensure prosperity f

BJP president and Union Minister JP Nadda on Thursday came down heavily on opposition Congress and labelled the party as the "spokesperson of urban naxals." Nadda made these remarks while addressing a meeting to mark the BJP's membership drive in Odisha.
