BJP, RSS have captured all institutions in country, says Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Tuesday accused the BJP and the RSS of capturing institutions and putting pressure on the EC and the judiciary, and also declared that he will not visit an RSS office even if someone slits his throat. Answering a question on the possibility of reaching out to his cousin and BJP MP Varun Gandhi, he said their ideologies do not match. I can never go to an RSS office. You can slit my throat, but I will not go. My family has an ideology, it has a thought system," he said at a press conference here on the sidelines of his Bharat Jodo Yatra. "I can meet him, hug him. But I cannot accept that ideology, that is impossible, he said. He accused the RSS and the BJP of controlling institutions. "There is a pressure on all the institutions.

BJP national executive discusses G20 presidency, govt's pro-poor policies

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday made a statement on India's presidency of G20 at the party's national executive meeting as he asserted that the country's image has transformed globally in the last nine years of the Narendra Modi-led government. During the convention, a statement on "garib kalyan" (ruling party's welfare policies) at the Centre and in states where it is in power was also made, with BJP Parliamentary Board member Sudha Yadav dismissing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's criticism about concentration of wealth. Gandhi keeps raising the same issue without looking at figures about crores of people benefitting from the government's welfare policies, she said, accusing him of making false claims. The attention given to the SC, ST, poor and backwards in the last nine years is unprecedented, she said. Briefing reporters on the statement made by Jaishankar in the closed-door meeting, BJP vice president Baijayant Jay Panda quoted the minister, saying the world's

AAP accuses Guv of interfering in govt; speaker suspends 5 BJP MLAs

Delhi Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel on Tuesday suspended five BJP MLAs for the day after they protested against AAP MLA Atishi's calling attention motion on the issue of alleged "illegal interferences" of Lieutenant Governor (LG) V K Saxena in the education of children and training of teachers. BJP legislators Ajay Mahawar, Jitendra Mahajan, OP Sharma, Abhay Verma and Anil Bajpai were marshalled out of the House on Goel's directions. Introducing the calling attention motion, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) legislator Atishi said Delhi is the only state which has earmarked a quarter of its budget for education. The Kejriwal government has increased the budget for training of teachers by 10 times which has transformed the education system in the capital, she said. "The LG's order to stop teachers from training in Finland is illegal. He holds a constitutional post and is not a BJP agent. He doesn't have power to take independent decisions according to Supreme Court orders," Atishi said. AAP
