  • Fielding veterans in Madhya Pradesh, what is the plan in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh? BJP’s strategy decoded

    BJP’s strategy in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh assembly elections will be different from Madhya Pradesh. The party leadership can field some big leaders in these two states also, but like Madhya Pradesh, not all the big leaders will be fielded. A major reason for this is the existence of Congress government in both the states.

    BJP will decide its candidate carefully in Rajasthan, because it is very important to worship Vasundhara Raje there. In Chhattisgarh, BJP has already fielded an MP in the first list.

    More efforts on lost seats: At the end of this year, elections are being held in five states, but the most important ones for BJP are Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. These three states are BJP’s strongholds and the party has 72 out of 75 seats in the Lok Sabha. In such a situation, she is leaving no stone unturned to win the assembly elections of these states. As part of the strategy, she is working harder on the lost seats. In Madhya Pradesh, BJP has recently fielded most of its big leaders in the assembly elections, including three Union Ministers, four MPs and one National General Secretary.

    Party’s strategy to bet on big leaders: BJP sources say that the party is fielding big leaders under the new strategy, but the need and strategy of every state is different. Big leaders will also be fielded in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, but it is not necessary that it be like Madhya Pradesh. BJP has been in power in Madhya Pradesh for the last two decades.

    Keep an eye on the anti-incumbency environment: He is in opposition in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. In such a situation, the anti-government atmosphere is different. In Rajasthan, power is changing every five years. In such a situation, where and how much the big leaders have to stake will depend on the situation there. In Chhattisgarh, BJP has already declared an MP Vijay Baghel as its candidate for the seat of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel. The party can also contest state president MP Arun Sao and MP Saroj Pandey.

    Emphasis on harmony in Rajasthan: According to sources, BJP may field Union Ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Arjunram Meghwal in Rajasthan. But the kind of equation that exists between Vasundhara Raje and Shekhawat in the state also has to be seen. The party is unlikely to anger the already angry Vasundhara Raje further. Sources say that the party may also contest elections from Rajasthan MP Bhagirath Choudhary. Later, Jyoti Mirdha from Congress can be fielded from her Lok Sabha seat. Along with Union Minister Kailash Choudhary, the names of MPs Kirori Mal Meena and Sukhbir Singh Jaunpuria are also among those contesting the elections.

  • Chhattisgarh government withdrew petition from Supreme Court in money laundering case, challenged ED’s action

    The Chhattisgarh government on Wednesday withdrew its petition from the Supreme Court challenging the Enforcement Directorate’s action against state government officials in a money laundering case on jurisdictional grounds. The money laundering case registered in 2022 pertains to an FIR lodged on a complaint by the Income Tax Department over allegations of illegal duty collection on coal in Chhattisgarh and attempts to influence public servants through corrupt means.

    The ED has claimed that a major scam took place in coal transportation in Chhattisgarh between 2019 and 2021, under which a nexus of politicians, officials and others were allegedly charging illegal fees. The Chhattisgarh government, in its petition, claimed that the ED had initiated investigation against the state government officials by filing an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) in Raipur on September 29, 2022, based on the FIR lodged in Bengaluru.

    Chhattisgarh’s standing counsel Sumir Sodhi on Wednesday told a bench of Justice Sanjiv Khanna and Justice SVN Bhatti that he has been directed to withdraw the petition. The bench allowed the state government to withdraw the petition and recorded Sodhi’s plea. The petition requested the court to declare the ED’s action illegal, ultra vires and unconstitutional.

    Apart from seeking quashing of the ECIR, the Chhattisgarh government also urged the top court to declare all subsequent actions taken by the ED in connection with the investigation as arbitrary and unconstitutional as they have interfered with the functions of the state police. . The Chhattisgarh government alleged that the ED investigation resulted in indiscriminate surveys and raids in various departments and offices of the state government and arrests of state officials.

    The Delhi High Court on Tuesday suspended the four-year sentence of former Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Darda, his son Devendra Darda and businessman Manoj Kumar Jaiswal in a case related to irregularities in coal block allocation in Chhattisgarh. The bench of Justice Swarn Kanta Sharma has accepted for hearing the appeals filed against the punishment of the convicts. The sentence has been suspended pending appeals challenging his conviction and prison sentence in the case.

    The High Court has directed him not to leave the country without the prior permission of the court concerned and not to make any inducement, threat or promise, directly or indirectly, to any person familiar with the facts of the case. The High Court has said that it is directed that the sentence imposed on the appellant shall remain suspended during the pendency of the present appeal. In lieu of this, orders have been given to release the culprits on the basis of a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and a bond of the same amount.

    The Delhi High Court had on July 28 issued a notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) seeking its response on the appeal by the three persons challenging their conviction and sentence and granted them interim bail till September 26 in the case. Darda, father-son and Jaiswal were taken into custody on July 26, soon after the special court passed the sentencing order, and were released on interim bail two days later.

He said that PM Modi also has the remote control, but he presses it ‘secretly’. Rahul Gandhi said- We press the remote control button in the open. But BJP suppresses it secretly and Adani ji gets Mumbai airport, public sector becomes private. When I questioned PM Modi on Adani in the Lok Sabha, I got this reply and my Lok Sabha membership was cancelled.

    Rahul has made a direct attack on PM Modi when PM Modi, while addressing a rally in Madhya Pradesh, called Congress a party of rusty iron. Reiterating that Rahul had said in the Lok Sabha on the Women’s Reservation Bill that only three OBC bureaucrats are working for the Government of India, Rahul Gandhi said that the caste census is the X-ray of India. Caste census will determine how many Dalits, OBCs, SC/STs there are, but the government is running away from the caste census. The Congress government will conduct caste census. This is my promise.

    Rahul said- Two remote controls are operational. We pressed the remote control we have in front of the camera but BJP and Narendra Modi press the remote control secretly. When we press the remote control, money comes into the accounts of the farmers, but when BJP presses the remote control, the public sector is privatized and water-forest-land goes in favor of Adani. Adani ji gets Mumbai airport, public sector becomes private. Modi ji presses the remote again and Adani gets the railway contract.

    Rahul said- When I asked in the Lok Sabha, Modi ji, what is your relationship with Adani. The answer I got was that my Lok Sabha membership was cancelled. Rahul Gandhi said- In all Congress ruled states, people are at the top. Our governments are not run by Adani ji. All our remote controls are for the public. Earlier on Sunday, in a media enclave, Rahul Gandhi had said that Congress is definitely winning the elections in both the states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
