DTC bus procurement: Delhi BJP accuses Kejriwal of diverting attention

The BJP on Sunday slammed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over his tweet which cited a news story on a "clean chit" given to his government in the alleged irregularities in DTC bus procurement, saying a CBI probe is underway. BJP MLA Vijender Gupta, who had raised the matter of alleged corruption in DTC bus procurement and maintenance contracts, charged Kejriwal of creating an alibi for his government. "The news story tweeted by Kejriwal was dated back to July 10, 2021. It was aimed at diverting attention from the ongoing CBI probe into the alleged corruption in DTC bus procurement and maintenance contracts," Gupta claimed in a press conference. Gupta stated he was even called by the CBI on January 27 to record his statement in a complaint lodged by him in the case. "Chief Minister Kejriwal tried to hide facts by tweeting a source-based news, which has no basis today as the matter is already under investigation," the BJP leader said. The CBI has registered a preliminary enqui

Tyagi community comes out in support of jailed Noida politician

Thousands of members of the Tyagi community held a mahapanchayat here on Sunday in support of jailed politician Shrikant Tyagi, alleging that he is a victim of conspiracy by BJP leader and Gautam Buddh Nagar MP Mahesh Sharma. Shrikant was arrested on August 9 from Meerut after he remained absconding for four days following an FIR against him for allegedly assaulting and abusing a woman co-resident of his Grand Omaxe society in Sector 93B. He had claimed to be a BJP functionary but the party denied any links with him. At the mahapanchayat held in Gejha village, leaders of the community demanded that an FIR should be lodged against the BJP MP for making a personal argument a political issue. According to police estimates, nearly 10,000 community members from Gautam Buddh Nagar and other western Uttar Pradesh districts like Ghaziabad, Muzaffarnagar, Bulandshahr, Baghpat, Saharanpur, Bijnor, Agra and Hapur participated in the mahapanchayat. Around 1,500-2,000 personnel from police and

Centre, CBI, BJP working just to stop Kejriwal in 2024: Manish Sisodia

The Centre, the CBI and the BJP are working with the sole motive of stopping Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal from becoming prime minister in 2024, embattled Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Sunday. He also said the Congress was not an alternative as no one in the country was talking about the party anymore, and people were thinking about giving Kejriwal a chance. He also appeared non-committal on any future political alliance for the AAP, saying parties should come out of the "mindset of scratching one another's back". In an interview to PTI, Sisodia, whose house was raided Friday by the Central Bureau of Investigation over alleged corruption in the Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22, said "Ek mauka Kejriwal ko (One chance to Kejriwal)" has become a talk across the country. He said the people of the country want Kejriwal to become prime minister as everyone deserves good education, healthcare, employment and cheap or free electricity "which can only be provided by t

Lok Sabha polls: BJP makes changes to address organisational issues

Its eyes fixed on the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP is likely to continue with changes at key positions in its several state units to address organisational issues and emerging political challenges. The recent revamp of its apex organisational body, Parliamentary Board, may have made more news for its omissionsUnion minister Nitin Gadkari and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan were dropped, but the BJP has also made it more socially and regionally representative. For the first time, non-upper castes are in a majority in the board, as the party continues with its outreach to traditionally weaker and backward sections of society. Before that, the BJP top brass had effected changes in several states and is now likely to appoint a new president of its Uttar Pradesh unit and bring in some new faces in Bihar where its traditional calculation has been upended after the JD(U) dumped it and joined hands with the RJD-Congress-Left combine.

BJP repeating lies against Sisodia as CBI raids remained failure: AAP

The BJP is repeating its lies about Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia hoping people will eventually believe those as the outcome of the CBI's 15-hour raid at his residence and 30 locations across India was "zero", the AAP alleged Saturday. Hitting back at Union Minister Anurag Thakur for calling Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal "kingpin of irregularities" in the Delhi Excise Policy, the AAP said the country is watching how Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "misusing" the central probe agencies to "harass" the Delhi government. By targeting Kejriwal, the BJP is actually positioning the AAP national convenor as the principal challenger to Modi ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the party said. "The CBI raided 31 locations and carried out searches for several hours but the probe agency did not tell what their sleuths found at Sisodia's residence and how much gold they recovered," AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj told a press conference. He termed the CBI raids a ...

Only 4 AAP leaders see Kejriwal as Modi's alternative: BJP's Parvesh Verma

As AAP leaders have begun projecting their party chief Arvind Kejriwal as an alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, BJP MP Parvesh Verma on Saturday hit back saying claims made by "four people" should not be taken seriously. "Was there a survey by any news channel? Was any survey conducted among the people on whether Kejriwal can challenge Modi? This is being said by four AAP members -Saurabh Bhardwaj, Sanjay Singh, Atishi and Raghav Chadha. Who else is saying this?" Verma said in reply to a question at a press conference. "If there is some survey among the people of the country, if they say Kejriwal could be (an alternative), we will accept it. How can you accept anything said by just four people" he asked. Verma also alleged that some of the accused in the FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with excise policy "scam" were close to AAP leaders. At a press conference earlier in the day, Delhi Deputy Chief Minis

Bilkis case: 3 Muslim MLAs urge Prez to revoke decision to release convicts

Three Gujarat Congress MLAs have written to President Droupadi Murmu seeking her direction to the state government to withdraw its "shameful decision" to release the 11 convicts serving a life sentence in the 2002 Bilkis Bano case.

Current Maharashtra CM doesn't sit at home: Fadnavis' swipe at Uddhav

In a veiled swipe at Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said the current chief minister does not sit at home but tours the state and meets people. He also said the alliance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will win the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation polls. Thackeray was often accused by the BJP of not stepping out of Mumbai during his tenure as the chief minister (November 2019- June 2022) and mostly using his residence for meetings. Fadnavis said MLA Ashish Shelar was asked to take up the post of Mumbai BJP to ensure victory in the BMC polls and exuded confidence the latter will win the "match". "When the BMC polls took place last time with Shelar was Mumbai BJP president, the party won 82 seats (in the 227-member civic body in 2017). We were ready to install our mayor but took two steps back for our ally (Shiv Sena) and allowed them to have their ..

Modi govt surpassed previous govts in increasing agri budget: J P Nadda

BJP president Jagat Prakash Nadda said on Saturday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government has done a lot for farmers with a fourfold increase in the agricultural budget in eight years. Addressing a public meeting at the municipal council ground in Paonta Sahib in Himachal Pradesh's Sirmour district, Nadda claimed that no other government worked so much for the farmers as the current dispensation. The Opposition kept talking about the farmers' agitation, but the Modi government focused on helping farmers prosper, he claimed. "The agricultural budget has seen a fourfold increase during Narendra Modi's tenure as prime minister. It is now Rs 1,33,000 crore from just Rs. 33,000 crore in 2014," he said. The country has to grow unitedly to become a developed nation by 2047, he added. We have to also keep in mind our traditions and Indian culture, the oldest in the world, he added. Earlier, he paid obeisance at Paonta Sahib Gurudwara. Nadda is scheduled to address a pu

Nagaland's NDPP, BJP dismiss merger speculation after 2023 assembly polls

Ruling alliance partners in Nagaland, NDPP and BJP, have dismissed Congress's speculation that the two parties will merge after the assembly elections due next year. Addressing a joint press conference on Friday, National Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) leader Neiba Kronu and BJP national spokesperson Mmhonlumo Kikon said that the speculation put forward by Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) president K Therie and AICC Nagaland in-charge Ajoy Kumar on various occasions are a "figment of imagination". "The BJP is a national party and has its own principles while NDPP is a regional entity with its own principles. There is neither any agenda nor have we held any discussion over merger with BJP," Kronu, a cabinet minister, said. The two parties had last month announced that NDPP will contest 40 seats and BJP 20 constituencies in next year's assembly elections. "The two parties entered into a pre-poll alliance before the 2018 assembly elections. Since then, both BJP and NDPP

Kejriwal a 'kingpin' in Delhi's 'liquor scam': BJP's Anurag Thakur

BJP on Saturday sharpened its attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, with Union Minister Anurag Thakur describing him as the "kingpin" of the "liquor scam" in the capital. Addressing a press conference here, Thakur said the AAP should not try to divert attention from the excise scam by raising other issues as its "real face has been unmasked". Taking a dig at Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Thakur referred to him as "Money Shh", alleging that alleges he makes money and maintains silence. Thakur was flanked by Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta and Lok Sabha member Manoj Tiwari. The CBI on Friday morning carried out searches at the residences of Sisodia and IAS officer Arava Gopi Krishna apart from 19 other locations after registering an FIR in connection with the alleged corruption in implementation of the Delhi excise policy.

LS polls will be walkover for BJP if Kejriwal pitted against Modi: Himanta

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday asserted that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections will be a walkover for the BJP if Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal is pitted against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He claimed that the Delhi chief minister is not even known in many states, which will lead to a further increase in the BJP's tally in the Lok Sabha. "Badhiya hai (It will be fine)," Sarma quipped, when asked by reporters whether it will be Modi versus Kejriwal in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. "In any game, say cricket, an opposition is needed. Someone needs to play against Australia also. Modiji versus Kejriwal will be a good game," he said. The BJP leader claimed that people in many states haven't even heard of Kejriwal and if he is pitted against Modi, BJP will be happy as the party's tally in the Lok Sabha will increase manifold due to it. "It will amount to a walkover," Sarma asserted. On allegation by the AAP that the Centre is trying to destroy the healthcare
