CPI(M)-Cong friendship opportunistic; BJP have an edge: Tripura CM on polls

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Wednesday asserted that people of the state do not like coming closer of the CPI(M) and the Congress ahead of the assembly elections, and claimed that the BJP will have an edge over the two. Saha's assertion came a day after six parties including the CPI(M) and the Congress issued a joint statement asking the peace-loving people of the northeastern state to raise their voice in favour of restoration of democracy, re-establishment of the rule of law and conducting free and fair election. The BJP-IPFT alliance had swept the 2018 Tripura Assembly polls winning a two-third majority in the 60-member House, ending the 25-year-long Left rule in the state. It is an opportunist understanding. Earlier, the love between the two parties (CPI(M) and Congress) was a secret affair and now it came to the fore. People are not taking it positively, Saha said. The CPI(M) and the Congress have not learnt a lesson from West Bengal where they had contested polls join

BJP meeting likely next month in Delhi to endorse extension of Nadda's term

A key organisational meeting of the BJP is likely to be held in the national capital next month in which the extension of party president J P Nadda's tenure is expected to be endorsed. Party sources said the BJP national executive will also deliberate over the strategy for the upcoming state assembly polls and review the ongoing organisational exercise.

Nadda's predecessor and Home Minister Amit Shah had also got an extension to spearhead the party's preparation for the

In an all-out attack on Rahul Gandhi for his remark that Chinese soldiers are beating up Indian Army personnel in Arunachal Pradesh, the BJP said on Saturday that the Congress should expel him from the party as its president J P Nadda accused him of speaking the language of China and Pakistan.

It is a reflection of his metal bankruptcy," Nadda said as a number of senior party leaders seized on the former Congress president's comments to target the opposition party which is seeking some sort of political revival with Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'. At its official briefing, Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said if Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge is not "remote-controlled" and if the opposition party stands with the country, then Gandhi should be expelled for his comments as they "belittle" India and break the morale of its armed forces.
