In anticipation of the announcement of the final election timetable for the Congress on September 21, interim president Sonia Gandhi met with Gehlot on Tuesday, causing speculation that Gehlot might be the front-runner to succeed Rahul Gandhi as leader of the historic party. According to several media reports, Sonia Gandhi, who is hesitant to continue serving as interim chief due to health issues, on Tuesday urged Gehlot to take over. "I have read about this in the media. About this, I know nothing. I'm performing the tasks that have been given to me, "On Wednesday, Ashok Gehlot said to reporters.

AAP's charge to BJP: "To join Rs 20 crores, to get others 25 crores"

Aug 24, 2022

The Narendra Modi-led union government was criticized by the Aam Aadmi Party today for allegedly attempting to overthrow the Delhi government "by trick or crook." According to the party, the BJP is employing government investigating agencies against its leaders. In a press conference today, five senior AAP leaders criticized the BJP for allegedly trying to entice AAP MLAs with money and threats. The Central Bureau of Investigation recently conducted a raid on Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, in relation to allegations of corruption in the liquor policy. The BJP has refuted the claim and accused AAP of attempting to "deviate and distract" from these issues (CBI). Sanjay Singh, the national spokesperson for AAP and a Rajya Sabha member, asserted he will "reveal" how the PM Modi-led administration uses federal agencies to bring down the government in the national capital. The BJP attempted a "Shinde" on Manish Sisodia, but failed, he added, adding that efforts to break the MLAs of Delhi had started. He alleged that BJP members harass AAP legislators. Take our offer of 20 crore rupees, they say, or face CBI cases like Sisodia, he remarked. Shehzad Poonawalla, a BJP spokesperson, responded to the accusations made by the AAP by saying Mr. Kejriwal's party consistently releases "trailers," but the "film" never materializes. "They say that their party is disinteg

Death Knell for Cong? With Anand Sharma's Exit, Gandhis Lose Battle

Aug 22, 2022

There can be no doubt that I am dedicated to the Congress doctrine, which is ingrained in my DNA. I had no other choice, though, as a self-respecting person, given the ongoing isolation and insults. With these sentiments, seasoned Congressman Anand Sharma announced his resignation from the top steering committee in charge of overseeing preparations for the upcoming Himachal Pradesh state elections. Days before to Sharma's resignation, Ghulam Nabi Azad, another G-23 member and member of the Grand Old Party's dissident wing, resigned from a similar committee established for Jammu and Kashmir. Following Azad's departure, several members of the same committee resigned. Despite the dismissive attitude of the Congress' top brass in Delhi toward Azad and Sharma's resignations, which they chose to ignore, the developments show a lack of confidence in the Gandhi’s and also serve as a sign that not all is well within the party, which has been battling to turn around its electoral setbacks and maintain its internal order. It's interesting that Sharma's departure occurs as the Congress begins the selection process for its new president. Check the records, the leader advised News18.com. Have I ever been invited to a meeting? Was I even asked for my opinion before being appointed chairman? They did not also consult Mr. Azad. For many of us in the G-23, this is a frequent slur. In a

The Congress Party's official Twitter account posted in remembrance of the former prime minister's legacy, "We warmly remember former Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi, on his birth anniversary.

People who committed horrible crimes have been released from prison. Due to the BJP's hostility against one religion, even horrific rape is tolerated and hate crimes are forgivable. Will BJP-Shinde Maha govt form committee to consider Rubina Memon’s remission too?" he asked. On January 21, 2008, a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Mumbai sentenced the eleven defendants to life in prison on the charges of gang rape and the murder of seven Bilkis Bano family members. The Bombay High Court later upheld their conviction. One of these prisoners, who had already served more than 15 years in prison, went before the Supreme Court and pleaded for an early release. According to Panchmahals Collector Sujal Mayatra, who served as the panel's chair, the Gujarat government constituted a committee after the state's top court instructed it to inves

Aug 16, 2022

Around 11.30 am on Tuesday, 31 MLAs from Bihar are anticipated to take the oath of office as ministers. Swearing-in will take place in Raj Bhavan's Rajendra Mandapam Hall.

RJD leader Lalu Prasad, who was anticipated to come here on Monday night, may be one among the guests now claim he will be arriving on Tuesday by a morning flight. Up to 36 ministers, including the chief minister, may serve in the state cabinet.

Arvind Kejriwal questions Centre’s finances

Aug 12, 2022

Arvind Kejriwal questions Centre’s finances, FM says he’s trying to fan ‘worry fear’ Arvind Kejriwal, who has been under fire for implementing policies like providing free power in Delhi and Punjab, questioned the necessity of implementing the Agnipath programme for military recruiting. After Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal questioned the condition of the federal government's finances, citing the government's opposition to gifts from political parties, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman accused the AAP leader of giving the discussion a "perverse twist" and claimed that spending on health and education has never been viewed in this category.

BJP to Tejashwi Yadav: The new claim from team Nitish

Aug 11, 2022

According to Nitish Kumar's party JDU, the BJP called the leaders of its new ally RJD and asked them to postpone formalizing the alliance for "three to four days." There is no ghosting in this breakup, despite the fact that Nitish Kumar parted from the BJP in a hurry. His party, the Janata Dal United and the BJP, which were expelled on Tuesday, traded lengthy accusations today over how their alliance came to an end. "How the BJP treats people is before you," Nitish Kumar remarked. Union Minister Giriraj Singh of the BJP claimed that Nitish Kumar had compromised the coalition's principles. That is a ludicrous assertion, according to Nitish Kumar's party, and the BJP tried to coerce other parties into not joining him out of a desperate attempt to stop him from creating a new alliance. "They attempted to phone RJD leaders yesterday, telling them they may go after three to four days. However, they are now without an agency. There was only one agent, and Nitish ji got rid of him "stated Nitish Kumar's party president Rajiv Ranjan "Lalan" Singh. RCP Singh, who served as Nitish Kumar's dependable assistant and the JDU's lone representative in the federal government until July 7, was once again given the wicked character by the politician in his comment. Nitish Kumar then declined to serve another term in the Rajya Sabha, which meant RCP Singh, suspected of having switched loyalty

"Puppet Chief Minister Bommai": Congress After Karnataka BJP MLA's

Aug 10, 2022

The Basavaraj Bommai government in Karnataka, which hasn't been allowed to celebrate its first anniversary, will soon come to an end, according to the Congress. Following Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to Bengaluru last week, the Congress poked fun at the state government of Karnataka and the BJP in a series of tweets, claiming that the state appeared poised to elect a third Chief Minister. The Bommai government, which has been unable to hold its first-anniversary "Janotsva," may soon come to an end, according to the Congress. Dear Bommai, the "sword struggle" for the Chief Minister has ended, according to the Congress, and it appears that Mr. Bommai is counting down the minutes till he steps down from his position. What is the reason for the change of Chief Minister, is it your administrative failure, a fight between leaders, or is it BS Yediyurappa's anger? Following B Suresh Gowda's assertion that the party's senior leadership was considering removing Mr. Bommai as Chief Minister, the Congress made these remarks the following day. He'd stated, "Before Independence Day, the Chief Minister may be changed. The party has held discussions." In a jab at Mr. Bommai, the opposition Congress tweeted, "40% government is likely to witness a third Chief Minister." The party tweeted, "The puppet Chief Minister Bommai is on his way out," in another tweet. The Congress also cr

Tejashwi Yadav 32, Once Ridiculed Over Age, Proves to Be The Kingmaker

Aug 10, 2022

When the RJD won the most seats 75 in the hotly contested 2020 assembly elections, Tejashwi Yadav had guided the party to an outstanding showing. Tejashwi Prasad Yadav has finally returned to center stage as the kingmaker and deputy to Chief Minister Nitish Kumar after a dream debut seven years ago when he was sworn in as deputy chief minister after being elected MLA for the first time was followed by a dip in his political fortunes. Believing many who believed he would falter since Mr. Yadav was in office, the 32-year-old younger son of the charismatic Lalu Yadav led the party to an amazing result in the hotly contested 2020 assembly elections when it won the greatest number of 75 seats, belying those who thought he will flounder since Mr. Yadav was in jail and the heir apparent lacked acumen. Tejashwi Yadav was making waves as a tenacious leader of the opposition, taking on the administration of his father's archrival on the assembly floor when it was in session, as well as on the streets, before Chief Minister Kumar decided to choose him as his deputy for a second time. Prior to the sudden realignment, he led a sizable "pratirodh" (opposition) march on Sunday against the NDA administration at the center, sending a strong message that the opposition in the state was ready for a fight. He was born on November 9, 1989, and is the youngest of all but nine siblings. His fath

RJD: Nitish Kumar is welcome if he dumps BJP

Aug 09, 2022

In an apparent show of strength, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar called a legislative party gathering of his MLAs on Tuesday as Bihar politics heated up amid rumors of a split between NDA partners BJP and JD-U. Political corridors were still buzzing today with rumors of a "big political development in Bihar soon," a day after Nitish skipped an NITI Aayog meeting that was presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demonstrating the growing divide between him and the BJP. Leaders of the RJD declared that if Nitish severed connections with the BJP, they would "embrace" him. What other option do we have if Nitish leaves the NDA but to accept him? Fighting the BJP is a top priority for the RJD. We will have to bring the CM with us if he decides to join the struggle, RJD's Shivanand Tiwary was quoted as saying. Tomorrow in Patna, the opposition parties RJD and Congress will also meet with their respective MLAs. According to Tiwary, the meetings were a blatant indication that the situation was extraordinary. When an Assembly session is not imminent, "we cannot ignore the fact that both parties (JD-U and RJD), which together have the numbers for a majority, have convened meetings," he stated. JD-U national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh, alias Lalan Singh, attacked LJP leader Chirag Paswan and former Union Minister RCP Singh, labelling the two as "two conspiracies hatched against Niti

On Delhi liquor policy, now Delhi deputy CM seeks CBI probe

Aug 06, 2022

The BJP and the AAP are at odds over Delhi's liquor policy. Manish Sisodia, the deputy chief minister of Delhi, announced on Saturday that he had written to the CBI to report that the former lieutenant governor, Anil Baijal, had abruptly altered his mind on allowing liquor stores to be opened in prohibited areas. "Former LG had previously approved the cabinet's policy, but they later reversed their judgement. Thousands of crores in damages resulted from this. Why was it decided to do this? I hope the CBI does a thorough investigation." The AAP and the BJP-controlled central government are at odds over the Delhi excise policy. Vinai Kumar Saxena, the lieutenant governor who presided over Sisodia, had written to the federal investigation agency to urge it to look into the liquor policy that was cleared by the Aam Aadmi Party government last year. The policy amid the row then put on hold but given a temporary extension for one month.  "The new regulation went into effect in 2021. However, the implementation was halted by some powerful individuals in order to favor a small group. I wrote to the CBI to request that they look into how and why this occurred. "In the past, 849 stores in the capital were dispersed unevenly. To prevent situations like the hooch policy, equitable distribution was emphasized in the new policy. "(Former) LG carefully examined the policy before appr

Shah links inflation protests to Ayodhya in Priyanka's "insults Ram"

Aug 06, 2022

Shah links inflation protests to Ayodhya in Priyanka's "insults Ram" tweet. Union Home Minister Amit Shah connected the party's claimed resistance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's laying of the foundation for the Ram temple to Congress lawmakers' protests in black clothing over the issues of price hikes and unemployment. Senior Congressman Jairam Ramesh retaliated at Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday for giving the party's rallies against price hikes, unemployment, and GST a "malicious twist" by trying "desperately" to connect them with the "Ram Janambhoomi" foundation day. On the day Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation of the Ram temple in Ayodhya two years back for his government, Shah had asserted that Congress officials donning black clothing during the Friday protests was a "subtle message to further push their appeasement policies." "The Home Minister has made a valiant effort to sabotage today's democratic demonstrations by Congress against price increases, unemployment, and GST. Only a diseased mind could come up with such illogical reasons. Clearly, the protests are having an impact." In a tweet, Jairam Ramesh stated. Congresswoman Priyanka Gandhi Vadra jumped over the police barricades and sat on the road to protest against the issue of inflation and unemployment on Friday, causing dramatic protest scenes to play out in the nation's capita

Former Meghalaya Guv ask PM Modi to convince on no setting with Mamata

Aug 05, 2022

Meghalaya Guv to PM Modi: Convince that there is no setting between you and Mamata PM Modi, please persuade us that there is no "setting" between you and Mamata. Former Meghalaya Governor Tathagata Roy, a former governor of Meghalaya, urged Prime Minister Modi on Twitter to persuade the public that there is no "setting" between him and Mamata Banerjee. Tathagata Roy, a former governor of Meghalaya and state president of the BJP, posted a message on Twitter asking Prime Minister Narendra Modi to persuade the public that there is no "setting" between him and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of West Bengal. "Kolkata is terrified of a ‘setting,' and the city is agog. In other words, Modiji and Mamata had a covert agreement whereby Trinamool thieves and/or BJP workers who were murdered would get away with it. Persuade us that there would be no such 'settings' @narendramodi @PMOIndia," Roy tweeted. As the Bengal chief minister arrived in Delhi for her meeting with the PM later this week, BJP's Dilip Ghosh charged that Mamata Banerjee uses her meetings with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to signal that "a setting has been made." These gatherings are used by Mamata Banerjee to indicate that a decision has been reached. The Centre should understand this and not fall for it, according to Ghosh. Sukhendu Sekhar Roy of the Trinamool Congress refuted the assertions, calling them "w

4 day’s trip to Delhi Mamata will meet PM Modi and president Murmu

Aug 05, 2022

Mamata will meet with PM Modi and President Murmu today as part of her four-day tour to Delhi. A day before her scheduled talks with PM Narendra Modi and president Droupadi Murmu, Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee spoke with party MPs on the central government's "usage of the ED to bulldoze Congress and other opposition figures." In addition to her meetings with Modi and Murmu during her four days in Delhi, Banerjee will attend a Niti Ayog conference on Sunday and a celebration of the nation's 75th anniversary at Rashtrapat Bhavan on Saturday. Banerjee reviewed her party's efforts during the monsoon session on Thursday and supported the combined opposition's legislative initiatives, particularly those that opposed the BJP's use of government agencies to raid and detain opposition politicians. According to the source, Trinamool MPs informed her and Abhishek Banerjee, the party's national general secretary, that the Bengal government "had responded immediately" in expelling Partha Chatterjee from the cabinet and suspending him from the party following his "surprise" detention.

"Congress Under Siege": Party On Police Build-up Outside Party Office

Aug 04, 2022

Police surround the Congress building and demand that the planned protest on August 5 be abandoned. Enforcement Directorate temporarily closes holding company Young Indian's offices at the National Herald newspaper's headquarters. On Wednesday afternoon, Delhi police ordered the Congress to abandon its plans for a demonstration over price hikes on August 5 and surrounded the party's offices and Sonia and Rahul Gandhi's official residences. In connection with a money-laundering inquiry, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) also temporarily sealed the holding company Young Indian's offices at the headquarters of the Congress-owned National Herald newspaper, according to official sources. A large police deployment with entire road barricading was made around 4pm outside the party office at 24 Akbar Road, Sonia's home at 10 Janpath, and Rahul's home at 12 Tughlaq Lane, shortly after the Delhi police letter was sent to the Congress. This, along with the Young Indian office being sealed, led to rumors that Congress leaders may be detained. At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Congress called a press conference to denounce the police action and to demand the removal of the substantial deployment. Around 500 police and paramilitary troops, according to an AICC official, had surrounded the party's offices and Sonia's home. The functionary remarked, "But they are already leaving; there p

Even the BJP, according to Babul, cannot accuse him of corruption

Aug 04, 2022

Even the BJP, according to Babul Supriyo, cannot accuse him of corruption. Babul Supriyo declared that he was pleased to "flip" his support to the BJP, which had "poached MLAs" serving in "half" of its state governments. Almost a year after leaving the BJP, former Union minister Babul Supriyo was appointed to Mamata Banerjee's cabinet in West Bengal on Wednesday. He said that not even the BJP could ever accuse him of corruption. Babul Supriyo, who was called a "turncoat" on Twitter, expressed his joy at having the guts to reveal a group that had attempted to use him as a "scapegoat." Mamata Banerjee reshuffled the cabinet and welcomed new faces, including Babul Supriyo who has been given the charge of tourism and information technology, amid the teachers' recruitment scam that dealt a severe blow to the Trinamool as former minister Partha Chatterjee has been arrested in connection with the scam. Babul Supriyo attacked the BJP hard, saying "Forget about the MPs who are currently in high positions; half of your state administrations are made up of "poached" MLAs from other parties. In Bengal, your "Operation Jharkhand" was made public." Calling the party, a 'washing machine' for 'criminals', Babul Supriyo tweeted, "Never in our history, a ruling party was so hated by the opposition." In both the 2014 and 2019 elections, Babul Supriyo won the Asansol Lok Sabha constituency.

Senior attorney Kapil Sibal argued in the Supreme Court on behalf of the Uddhav Thackeray side, claiming that the Election Commission decides whether political party is formed. "You cannot form a political party with a Guwahati headquarters," "He spoke Senior attorney Kapil Sibal argued in the Supreme Court on behalf of the Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray faction that the Eknath Shinde faction cannot assert that it is the original party. "You are not allowed to identify as the political party. And you claim to represent the Guwahati-based political party. Election Commission decides which political party to support. In Guwahati, you cannot declare sitting. The Uddhav side's senior attorney, Abhishek Singhvi, stated that the Eknath Shinde camp's only viable defense is a merger with the BJP which they are not claiming.  The petitions about the political situation submitted by the Eknath Shinde group and the Uddhav Thackeray faction in Maharashtra were heard by a bench made up of Chief Justice NV Ramana, Justice Krishna Murari, and Justice Hima Kohli. Harish Salve, speaking on behalf of the Eknath Shinde group, said: "In India, we conflate some leaders with political organizations. I'm a Shiv Sena member. My chief minister won't meet with me.

"Rahul Gandhi Will Become PM," said Seer at Karnataka Mutt

Aug 03, 2022

According to sources, a seer at a Lingayat seminary in Karnataka today predicted Rahul Gandhi would become prime minister before the head seer stepped in and added a condition to the prediction. Rahul Gandhi will become the prime minister, one of the seers predicted in his talk while the Congressman was addressing them at Sri Murugarajendra Mutt in Chitradurga, according to sources. The institution's head, Sri Shivamurthy Murugha Sharanaru, is reported to have intervened at this point and remarked, "Whoever visits our mutt, they be blessed." The Lingayat’s, who make up around 17% of Karnataka's population, have historically supported the BJP. The Congress is aiming to widen its popularity and demonstrate unity within the party with Mr. Gandhi's visit to the state that is close to voting. The elections have to be held by May next year. Following the 2018 elections, the Congress, which had previously ruled from 2013 to 2018, briefly established a coalition government with the Janata Dal (Secular). That government, which was headed by JDS leader HD Kumaraswamy, fell in little more than a year after a number of coalition members withdrew, turning it into a minority. The BJP then retook control of the state. BS Yediyurappa, a member of the Lingayat community, was appointed chief minister by the BJP at first. He was replaced the previous year by Basavaraj Bommai, a member o

The Enforcement Directorate is searching the National Herald's corporate headquarters. ED raids are taking place on Herald House's fourth level. The National Herald's publication office is located here. Around 10 a.m. this morning, ED representatives entered the building and are still there. Regarding the alleged money laundering case involving the National Herald, ED raids are currently taking place at several sites in Delhi. In a money laundering investigation, the ED is conducting raids at 12 sites, including the Delhi office of the Congress-owned National Herald newspaper. The investigation agency may conduct raids at various locations in Kolkata. Sonia Gandhi, the president of the Congress, was questioned by the ED last Monday (July 27) for the third time about the money laundering case involving the National Herald newspaper. The National Herald newspaper is owned by the Congress-promoted Young Indian Private Limited, which is under investigation for potential financial irregularities. The ED had already questioned Pawan Bansal and Mallikarjun Kharge, two leaders of the Congress. In this case, the ED also questioned Rahul Gandhi in June during sessions that lasted more than 50 hours over five days. After the ED late last year filed a new case under the criminal provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, action to question the Gandhi’s was taken.

Bengal cabinet rejig announced by Mamata Banerjee

Aug 01, 2022

Bengal cabinet rejig announced by Mamata Banerjee: 'Impossibility of handling alone. The news was made on Monday, a few days after Partha Chatterjee's detention. The Bengal government will be reorganized on Wednesday, according to the announcement made by Mamata Banerjee on Monday. The chief minister stated in a briefing that at least four more hires can be anticipated. The announcement came shortly after Partha Chatterjee and his assistant Arpita Mukherjee were detained in connection with the school jobs investigation and then suspended from their positions as state ministers. On Wednesday at 4 pm, a reorganization is anticipated. She added during the briefing that the cabinet would be reshuffled on Wednesday and that there would be four to five new faces. Partha Chatterjee was also mentioned by her. "We don't intend to disband the current ministry completely and start anew. Yes, there will be a change of personnel. Sadhan Pande and Subrata Mukherjee were lost as ministers. All their task must be completed because Partha is in prison. I am unable to handle this situation alone "She was said to have said. The chief minister also mentioned Bengal's seven new districts, which brought the state's total number of districts up from 23 to 30. Sunderban, Ichhemati, Ranaghat, Bishnupur, Jangipur, Behrampur, and one more district Basirhat are among the seven new districts, acc

Amit Shah: Elections in 2024 will be held with Modi as its leader

Aug 01, 2022

All of the BJP's current alliance partners, including its allies in Bihar, would continue to be members of the NDA in the Lok Sabha elections of 2024, according to BJP national general secretary Arun Singh on Sunday. When addressing reporters about the joint national executive committee meeting of the BJP's seven national frontal organizations, which was addressed by Union home minister Amit Shah, Singh said that the current alliance partners in Bihar would also continue to be members of the NDA during the 2024 parliamentary elections as well as the 2025 assembly elections. Given the disagreements between the JD(U) and BJP, the state's governing allies, over a number of issues that have sparked rumors regarding the next political move of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, Singh's statement assumes relevance. Earlier, Nitish's longtime deputy and BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi ruled out the notion of the JD(U) leaders joining forces with the Lalu Prasad-led RJD. "Nitish ji won't ever travel with Lalu once more. He declared, "I am familiar with Nitish Ji and Bihar politics." On the final day of the two-day conference, PM Modi will lead the BJP in the parliamentary elections of 2024, and the party will form the government for a third time, Shah said the delegates of the organizations. He claimed that the federal government's efforts and Prime Minister Modi's charm will help the BJP win mor
