Dynastic politics everything for Cong, they can't think of anything: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said Rajasthan needs a government which gives top priority to development, while for the Congress there is nothing more important than corruption and dynastic politics. At an election rally in Rajasthan's Pali district, he said the Congress cannot think of anything except appeasement. He also accused the Congress and its allies of have an anti-women mindset. "Ever since the law giving reservation to women 'Narishakti Vandan Act' was passed, they have started a campaign against women. The leaders of the arrogant alliance have made very objectionable comments about our mothers and sisters," he charged. The Bihar chief minister used extremely derogatory words against women in the Assembly but no Congress leader said anything about this. "This is the real face of Congress, which the people of Rajasthan have recognised," he said. He also said that the Congress turns a blind eye to incidents of atrocities against Dalits.

Instead of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', Modi should say 'Adani ji ki Jai': Rahul

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday accused Narendra Modi of working for billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani and said instead of chanting 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', the prime minister should say "Adani ji ki Jai". Addressing election rallies in Bundi and Dausa districts, Gandhi alleged that Modi wants to make two 'Hindustans', one for Adani and the other for the poor. He also targeted Modi for not conducting a caste census in the country and said it will be the first thing that the Congress will get done after it comes to power at the Centre. Speaking at the rally in Bundi, Gandhi said, "Instead of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', the prime minister should say 'Adani ji Ki Jai' because he works for him." "Modi says Bharat Mata ki Jai and works 24 hours for Adani," he said. The poor, farmers and labourers are 'Bharat Mata', the Congress leader said. He said the prime minister wants to make two 'Hindustans' -- one for Adani and the other for the poor. The Congress has been targeting the Ada

Raj Cong like cricket team whose batters trying to run out each other: Modi

Amid the World Cup fever in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the Rajasthan Congress is like a cricket team whose batters spent five years trying to run out each other. Addressing a public meeting in Churu district in support of BJP candidate Rajendra Rathore from the Taranagar constituency, Modi exhorted people to vote for the party in the November 25 Rajasthan Assembly polls to ensure rapid development of the state. In Jhunjhunu, he targeted the Congress by alleging that the party has "developed the tradition of corruption, nepotism and appeasement" which led to a huge loss for the country. The youth in India did not get opportunities because of this, he claimed. At the public meeting in Churu, Modi referred to the power tussle between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his former deputy Sachin Pilot saying, "In cricket, a batter comes and scores runs for his team. But there is so much infighting within the Congress that instead of scoring runs, its leaders spe

Rajasthan like cricket team whose batsmen trying to run out each other: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the Rajasthan Congress is like a cricket team whose batsmen spent five years trying to run out each other. Addressing a public meeting in Churu district's Taranagar, he exhorted people to vote for the BJP in the November 25 Rajasthan Assembly polls to ensure rapid development of the state. The Congress and development are enemies and will remain enemies. The relationship between the Congress and good intentions is the same as that between light and darkness, the prime minister said. He also accused the Congress of "misleading" ex-servicemen on the issue One Rank, One Pension (OROP) scheme for decades. Due to the Congress' "misgovernance", Modi said, inflation and unemployment are out of control in Rajasthan.

PM works for Adani round the clock: Rahul Gandhi's charge in Rajasthan

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of working for businessman Gautam Adani "round-the-clock". Instead of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', the prime minister should say 'Adani ji Ki Jai' because he works for him, Gandhi charged at an election rally here. He said the poor, farmers, labourers are 'Bharat Mata' and the 'Jai' of Bharat Mata will be when the participation of these sections will be ensured in the country. He also accused the prime minister of wanting to make two 'Hindustans', one for Adani and the other for the poor. The Congress leader also said that Modi will not conduct a caste census no matter what. Rahul Gandhi and Congress party can do this, he asserted. The Congress has been targeting the Adani group, accusing it of benefitting from the BJP government, and has been demanding a JPC probe into the allegations made by a US Research group Hindenburg. The Adani-led business conglomerate has denied any wrongdoing on its par

Haryana-based JJP hopes to emerge as key regional player in Rajasthan polls

The Jannayak Janta Party is confident of putting on a good performance in the assembly elections in Rajasthan, where the Haryana-based outfit is contesting from 20 seats in its first foray outside its home base. Ajay Singh Chautala, who heads the regional outfit, was a two-time legislator from Rajasthan during his time in the Indian National Lok Dal before the party split into the Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) in 2018. The JJP is now looking at Ajay Singh Chautala's guidance and experience to manoeuvre the polls in Rajasthan. The party is also banking on Chaudhary Devi Lal, the former deputy prime minister whose political legacy it claims to carry forward, who was the MP from Sikar in 1989. Three of the 20 assembly seats the party is contesting are in the Sikar parliamentary segment. The JJP, a BJP ally in Haryana, was keen to contest the Rajasthan polls jointly but decided to field candidates on its own after the saffron party did not show any inclination. In Haryana, there have bee
