  • ‘No Minister Can Go Against Party Ideology’: Congress Warns Vikramaditya Singh Amid ‘Eateries Diktat’ Row |

    Himachal Pradesh Minister Vikramaditya Singh sparked controversy over his remarks that coincided with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s directives mandating the street vendors to display their names. Following his statement, the Congress leadership on Friday reprimanded him, saying that no individual is permitted to act against the party’s policies and ideologies, reported PTI citing party sources. 

    Congress general secretary, in-charge organisation, KC Venugopal held a meeting with Singh in New Delhi. During the meeting the party conveyed that they believe in former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi’s ideology of fighting hatred with love. 

    Singh was instructed to follow the party’s ideology and policies, but he responded by informing the leadership that his remarks had been misquoted by the media. Amid backlash over Singh’s statement on mandatory name displays for street vendors, the Himachal Pradesh government clarified on Thursday that no such decision had been made. 

    What Congress’ Vikramaditya Said 

    Vikramaditya Singh, who is the public works and urban development minister on Wednesday told reporters that it would be mandatory to display the names of the proprietor on the street eateries. The decesion he added was inspired by the UP CM Yogi’s orders. 

    The state government quickly distanced itself from Singh’s remark and clarified that no such order is in function. Sources in Delhi indicated that the Congress central leadership intervened, prompting the Himachal Pradesh government’s clarification. 

    How The Himachal Government Responded 

    Sources in Delhi indicated that the Congress central leadership intervened, prompting the Himachal Pradesh government’s clarification. 

    AICC Himachal Pradesh in-charge Rajiv Shukla said he discussed the issue with Vikramaditya Singh and CM Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, noting it stemmed from the assembly speaker’s committee to designate areas for street vendors. 

    The AICC’s Himachal Pradesh in-charge Rajiv Shukla said on Thursday that he had discussed the issue with Singh and Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. He had said the matter sprang from the assembly speaker forming a committee to designate specific areas for street vendors, including those selling food and other items. 

    “They will be given licences and regulated so that police do not harass them. The designated places will require identification such as Aadhaar cards and licences but there is no requirement for them to display a sign stating their name as the owner,” Shukla told reporters in Jammu on Thursday. 

    “The aim is to ensure that street vendors have proper locations to operate without disrupting traffic, especially since it is a hilly area and has narrow roads.” he had said.

  • ‘Injustice Against Bahujans’: Rahul Gandhi Hits Out At NDA Leaders On Nawada Incident |

    After a shocking incident in which many houses were set ablaze by unidentified miscreants in Bihar’s Nawada, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday hit out at the BJP alliance government in Bihar and said that they suppress the Bahujans of India so that they cannot even demand their social and constitutional rights. He claimed that the Prime Minister’s silence on the matter serves as a “seal of approval” for this significant conspiracy.

    The incident took place under the Mufassil Police Station area in Krishnanagar in Bihar’s Nawada.

    “Burning down an entire colony of Mahadalits in Nawada and destroying the houses of more than 80 families is highlighting the horrifying picture of injustice against the Bahujans in Bihar. The cries of the Dalit families who had lost their homes and property and the terror created in the deprived society by the echo of the fierce firing were also not successful in waking up the sleeping government of Bihar,” Rahul Gandhi wrote in a post on X.

     

    नवादा में महादलितों का पूरा टोला जला देना, 80 से ज़्यादा परिवारों के घरों को नष्ट कर देना बिहार में बहुजनों के विरुद्ध अन्याय की डरावनी तस्वीर उजागर कर रहा है।

    अपना घर-संपत्ति खो चुके इन दलित परिवारों की चीत्कार और भयंकर गोलीबारी की गूंज से वंचित समाज में मचा आतंक भी बिहार की…


    — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) September 19, 2024

     

    Rahul criticised the NDA government, accusing it of harbouring anarchists who intimidate the Bahujans. 

    “The Bihar Government and the State Police must take immediate and strict action against all the culprits of this shameful crime and provide complete justice to the victim families by rehabilitating them,” the Congress leader wrote on X.

    Amid growing voices by the opposition leaders over the incident in Nawada, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar ADG Law and order Bihar to inspect the spot.

HD Kumar Swamy inspected the Nagarnar Plant. He discussed various issues related to the NMDC Plant with senior NMDC officials. He said that the Nagarnar Steel Plant will not be privatized.

He has come to inspect the Nagarnar Plant and explain the work so that an action plan is prepared in this direction.

  • Congress state in-charge Sachin Pilot’s allegation, said- bad law and order situation in the state, unable to fulfill the promise made in the manifesto…

    Shivam Mishra, Raipur. Chhattisgarh government is failing on every front. The government officials themselves are speaking openly. The promises made in the manifesto are not being fulfilled. People are upset with the double engine government, especially farmers. The situation regarding law and order is also bad. Congress state in-charge Sachin Pilot, who reached Raipur, said this. Also read: CG News: Naxalites again did a cowardly act, killed an education ambassador by setting up a public court

    Sachin Pilot, while talking to the media about the law and order situation in the state, said that the government has no control over the cases that are coming to light. The government has no grip on law and order. Orders come from Delhi and they are followed. Bullets are being fired, thefts are taking place, looting is happening, the government should look into its own affairs in every area.

    He said that the government’s priority is to target Congress leaders, misuse agencies and defame them. The Congress party is fully prepared. The Government of India has misused its position for the last several years. The government was formed for public welfare, for development, but their work has always been to target the opposition and tear apart the Constitution. The Prime Minister went to Jammu and Kashmir, and after going there, he is blaming the opposition-India alliance.

    Sachin Pilot said that BJP leaders had talked about tampering with the Constitution, which became a big issue in the elections. The public has understood that BJP is on the backfoot. After Rahul Gandhi became the leader of the opposition, the opposition is setting the agenda, the government is having to take back its decision on every front.

    On Arvind Kejriwal’s resignation, Sachin Pilot said that it is his party’s decision. In democracy, the final decision is of the people. Congress party is always ready for every challenge. Elections are to be held in two states now, the alliance will win with a huge majority in both the states.

    Sachin Pilot said about his visit that our visit is for 2 days. There will be a discussion on the activities in the coming time. We will discuss the by-elections and municipal elections in Chhattisgarh. We will brainstorm with senior leaders and strengthen the organization. The new secretary will tour the entire state and meet the workers.

    Regarding the organisational changes, Sachin Pilot said that the posts are lying vacant. We are preparing a plan to give new and energetic people a chance in place of old leaders in the block and district cells.

    Sachin Pilot, while calling BJP’s trickery, said that they are trying to mislead people by calling it the world’s biggest party. Those who gave the slogan of crossing 400 are making members through missed calls. Stop influencing people with rhetoric and sloganeering. The Chief Ministers of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh have no authority, all decisions are taken from Delhi. Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan got nothing in the general budget of the Centre.

  • On Opposition’s Concerns Over PM-CJI Meet, BJP’s ‘Iftaar Party’ Counter |

    New Delhi: As the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s casual visit to Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud’s residence on Ganesh Puja, faced a significant backlash from the opposition, the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) has responded by reminding Congress of a similar incident concerning former PM Manmohan Singh.  

    BJP’s spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala shared some old pictures of Manmohan Singh with the then CJI KG Balakrishnan laughing at an Iftar party in 2009. 

    Poonawalla circulated old photographs of the 2009 Iftar party showing then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh together with then Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan. Poonawalla remarked that during that period, the Opposition believed the “judiciary was safe.” He compared this with the current situation, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s attendance at Ganesh Puja at the Chief Justice’s residence has led to claims that the “judiciary has been compromised.” 

    2009- PM Manmohan Singh’s Iftaar Party was attended by then CJI KG Balakrishnan- Sshhhh – Yeh Secular hai.. judiciary is safe!

    ‘Should they be enemies?…’ said BJP’s Sambit Patra on Opposition’s remarks. He said that this is the beauty of democracy that the different ‘pillars’ maintain different courtesy’s when on-duty and when off-duty. 

    Patra asserted, “The leaders of the Opposition are doing politics over the Ganesh prayers offered by PM Modi at CJI Chandrachud’s residence yesterday… Should the different pillars of democracy not converge? Should they be enemies?… Should they have no courtesies towards each other?” 

    The speaker questioned the inconsistency in objections, pointing out that while there are concerns about the Prime Minister meeting the Chief Justice of India, similar meetings involving Rahul Gandhi with figures like Ilhan Omar, the Chinese Premier, and George Soros, as well as signing MoUs, have been ignored. 

    He noted that there was no objection to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh attending Iftar parties, suggesting a double standard regarding the significance of these interactions. 

  • ‘Promotes China…Undermines India’: BJP’s Himanta Biswa Sarma Rips Into Rahul Gandhi’s US Address |

    Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday reproached Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his remarks delivered at the University of Texas in Dallas, USA. The speech of LoP Gandhi has prompted many reactions from the BJP, following the same, Sarma alleged that he ‘undermined India.’ 

    In his address to the gathering, Gandhi remarked that while the West faces an employment issue and India also struggles with employment problems, many countries around the world do not experience such challenges. He specifically noted, “China certainly doesn’t have an employment problem. Vietnam doesn’t have an employment problem.” 

    Reacting to the Congress leader’s remarks, the Assam Chief Minister said, “Rahul Gandhi promotes China in many ways. Undermining India, he tries to project China as the best nation. But there is no democracy and no religious freedom for people in China. But, Gandhi doesn’t talk about them.” 

    Not only Sarma, but numerous BJP leaders have also criticized Gandhi, accusing him of ‘damaging India’s reputation’ internationally. 

    BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said, “Have you ever heard of George Bush, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, or Joe Biden speaking negatively about America after visiting another country? None of them criticized their own nation. Yet, Rahul Gandhi does exactly that. He speaks poorly of India, often without understanding the country, the Prime Minister, or the RSS.”
