The Congress on Monday lashed out at the BJP for criticising former Army chief General Deepak Kapoor after he participated in the Bharat Jodo Yatra, and accused the ruling party of "maligning brave hearts". Gen (retd) Kapoor and many retired top officers of the defence services joined the Rahul Gandhi-led 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' on Sunday which is passing through Haryana. Tweeting a picture of Gen Kapoor walking alongside Rahul Gandhi in the Yatra in Haryana, BJP IT department head Amit Malviya said, "Ex-Army Chief Gen Deepak Kapoor joined Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra. Kapoor was indicted in the Adarsh scam along with other senior Army officers." "The inquiry committee had opined that they may be debarred from holding any Govt position or office for shaming the Armed Forces," the BJP leader said Sunday.

MCD House ruckus: AAP workers protest outside BJP headquarters

The AAP on Monday held a protest outside the BJP headquarters here over the aldermen nominated by the Lt Governor to the MCD House being administered oath before the elected representatives and accused the saffron party of flouting rules. The protest was led by Delhi minister Raaj Kumar Anand, AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj and party leader Adil Ahmad Khan. On January 6, the maiden meeting of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) House was adjourned without electing mayor and deputy mayor as BJP and AAP councillors exchanged heated words and came to blows over presiding officer Satya Sharma administering oath to the aldermen first and not the elected representatives. Only four aldermen could take oath before the House plunged into chaos. The AAP alleged that the BJP made the aldermen take oath first in order to get them voting rights for the mayor and deputy mayor elections. "We are here to protest against what was done on January 6.

Farmers being cornered, says Rahul Gandhi as he takes on BJP govt

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday slammed the BJP-led government for "cornering" the farming community with the rising fuel and fertiliser prices, saying that the farmers need to be protected. The backbone of the country, which is feeding people, is being targeted, he was addressing a press conference at Samana, near here. "Farmer is being cornered from every side. He is being directly hit by fuel prices, he is not getting insurance claims for vagaries of weather. He is being directly hit by urea prices," he said. The Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra, a foot march from Kanyakumari to Kashmir is currently in the second phase of its Haryana leg. "The three farm laws (now-repealed) were not the farm laws. They were weapons to hit them (farmers), like demonetisation and wrong Goods and Services Tax (GST) were weapons to hit small traders," he said. They need to be protected, Gandhi said. "We know farmers are being attacked. I can guarantee one thing if Congress party comes to power .

Rahul Gandhi should clarify his stand over Art 370, PAGD: BJP leader

With Rahul Gandhi-led 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' scheduled to enter Jammu and Kashmir in a fortnight, a senior BJP leader on Sunday asked the former Congress president to make his stand clear on the repeal of Article 370 and the People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD) before the march enters the union territory. BJP-led central government revoked special status of J&K under Article 370 of the constitution and bifurcated the state into two union territories in August 2019. The PAGD is an amalgam of five political parties -- National Conference, PDP, CPI(M), CPM and Awami National Conference -- formed to press for the restoration of the special status. BJP leader Devender Singh Rana termed Gandhi's march a "Bharat todo yatra", and said, "Rahul Gandhi should clarify his stand over the repeal of Article 370 before entering into the Union Territory for his yatra." "This is all the more important as the Congress bandwagon is joining the PAGD gang in this sensitive part of the country, .

BJP accuses Nitish of making indecent remark at function attended by women

The BJP in Bihar on Sunday hit the roof over what it considered to be an "indecent remark" made by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar during his speech on population growth, at a programme attended by a large number of women. Kumar had on Saturday visited Vaishali district, along with cabinet colleagues including his deputy Tejashwi Yadav, on the third day of his state-wide 'Samadhan Yatra', aimed at assessing the status of ongoing welfare programmes and pending works. While interacting with self-help group volunteers, Kumar had spoken about the role played by educated, empowered women in controlling population growth. The JD(U) leader, who has been opposed to the BJP's pitch for a population control law, much to the annoyance of the former alliance partner, also hinted that men often did not show the same sense of responsibility as their wives in controlling population. A small video clip of Kumar's speech has gone viral in which the CM could be heard as having said "the men are often ..
