  • Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan Slams Rahul Gandhi: ‘He Has Not Gained Maturity…’ |

    Reacting to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks that the party ‘will defeat BJP in Gujarat like we did in Ayodhya’, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday said that Rahul Gandhi knows nothing apart from ‘speaking lies and spreading confusion’ among the people.

    Earlier on July 6, Rahul Gandhi said that Congress and its allies in the INDIA bloc would defeat the BJP in Gujarat assembly polls like they had defeated it in Ayodhya in the Lok Sabha polls. “Rahul Gandhi has not gained maturity…He lied about Agniveers and the government not giving MSP to farmers…He knows nothing apart from speaking lies and spreading confusion,” Chauhan told reporters.

    Addressing party workers in Ahmedabad, Rahul Gandhi, who is the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, referred to BJP’s losing in the Lok Sabha constituency that includes Ayodhya, and claimed that the INDIA alliance had defeated the movement started by former BJP chief LK Advani.

    Advani had carried out a rath yatra in 1990 to mobilise support for the movement to construct a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya. BJP has said that the yatra also sought to raise questions over prevailing debate concerning “secularism” and “communalism” and for rejecting the “cult of minorityism”.

    The BJP lost the Faizabad Lok Sabha constituency, which includes Ayodhya, in the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls. “Together we are going to defeat them in Gujarat. We will defeat Narendra Modi and BJP in Gujarat just like we defeated them in Ayodhya,” Rahul Gandhi said. The Assembly elections in Gujarat will be held in 2027. 

  • BJP Conspired To End Shivraj Singh’s Political Career, Claims Congress’ Banna Gupta |

    New Delhi: Congress leader and Jharkhand Cabinet Minister Banna Gupta on Wednesday alleged the Bharatiya Janata Party for conspiring against Shivraj Singh Chauhan to end his political career.

    Speaking with ANI, Banna Gupta said, “The Bharatiya Janata Party has conspired against Shivraj Singh Chauhan to end his political career, but it was the public of Madhya Pradesh which made him victorious again by 8 lakh votes.”

    He further added, “When BJP saw his popularity and felt difficult to end his career, they placed him in the Modi 3.0 cabinet and made him in charge of Jharkhand. But BJP’s formulas and tactics will not work in Jharkhand because of their ill deeds.

    “They tried to diminish the constitution, in 2018 they tried to change the SC-ST law and now they were trying to turn the democracy into indentured labour. Their narrative was spotted by everyone in Jharkhand and in the whole nation. This is the reason behind the destruction of their 400-paar agenda and they were left with only 241 seats in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024,” said Banna Gupta.

    The reaction came after BJP’s senior leader and Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was made the in-charge and Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma co-in-charge of Jharkhand BJP in the run-up to the upcoming state assembly elections.

    Earlier, on June 10, after the swearing-in of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader Kalpana Soren as MLA from Gandey assembly constituency, Jharkhand Health Minister Banna Gupta expressed confidence that JMM will form government in Jharkhand again with full majority.

    Banna Gupta said, “Kalpana Soren is a very intelligent, educated woman. She was a housewife but after the way her husband was humiliated, tortured and sent to jail, she came out to fulfil her husband’s responsibility and protect the people. She has won the election from Gandey. In the coming time, our government will be formed again in Jharkhand and it will be with full majority.”

    He further said that the focus of the JMM government was to give jobs to the youth.”Whether it is the Surgeon pension scheme, Old pension scheme, or Jal Samriddhi Yojana we have done a lot of public-centric work. Our focus is on employment to the youth and we have prepared a lot of schemes to provide them jobs,” he added.
