After resigning from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the Manipur issue, the party’s former Bihar spokesperson Vinod Sharma on Thursday said that a Manipur-like incident has never happened anywhere else while adding that the “Prime Minister is still sleeping”.

Sharma said that “with a heavy heart”, he wrote to BJP chief JP Nadda and Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the Manipur video incident.

He further said that he has raised his voice against the women’s atrocities and resigned from the party.

He further said, “BJP speaks about Nari Sakhti, Beti Bachao, Hindu Rashtra, Sanatana Dharm… Is this the Sanatana Dharma we’re upholding? As a human being, I couldn’t tolerate this and raised my voice against this injustice…”

The violence in Manipur erupted after a rally by the All Tribal Students Union of Manipur (ATSUM) on May 3 in protest against the proposed inclusion of people belonging to the Meitei community in the list of Scheduled Tribes (STs).

Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) will refer Manipur viral video case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the government sources said on Thursday.

The sources further told ANI that the Centre will also file an affidavit in Supreme Court requesting the trial of a viral video case to take place outside Manipur.

Only STs can buy lands in hilly areas. The majority Meitei community, which occupies the Imphal Valley and nearby areas, sought the ST status keeping in view their increasing population and increased requirement of land so that they could purchase lands in the hilly areas. (ANI)

UPA For Nadda

UPA Stands For Utpidan, Pakshpat, Atyachar: Nadda

By LokMarg

Bharatiya Janata Party National President JP Nadda on Sunday took a swipe at the Congress saying that UPA stands for “utpidan, pakshpat and atyachar” (oppression, biasedness and atrocity” while his party is trying to protect the culture.

“We are trying to protect the culture and do development work, but there is an obstacle in that development, that is oppression, tyranny, favouritism and corruption within the Rajasthan government by CM Ashok Gehlot. In UPA – U stands for oppressive government. P – partisan government. A-tyrannical government,” Nadda said while addressing a public gathering in Jairpur.
Addressing a rally after launching the BJP’s “Nahi Sahega Rajasthan” campaign against the Congress government, Nadda called the Ashok Gehlot government a rule of “loot”.

“This government loots and tortures people and has broken all records of atrocities against Dalits, tribals, women, children and the poor. This is a government of looters, atrocities and misrule,” he added.

He further claimed that more than 8,000 cases have been registered against Dalits here in 2022.

“In 2022 alone, more than 8,000 cases have been registered against Dalits here. The Rajasthan government has done the work of demolishing the houses of refugees from Pakistan with bulldozers in furtherance of favouritism and vote bank politics. The Gehlot government is also doing the work of settling Rohingyas here,” the BJP President said.

He further said that the Gehlot government has no right to be in power even for a minute.

“Now-a-days a new scam is being done by the opposition, that is PDA i.e. Patriotic Democratic Alliance whereas I call PDA as Protection Of Dynasties Alliance i.e. it is a way to save familyism,” Nadda said.

Nadda further said that his party will come to the power in the state when the assembly polls which are scheduled to take place at the end of the year will be conducted.

“We have decided that under the ‘Nahi Sahega Rajasthan’ campaign, we will work to reach 2 crore people, convey the message of the party to the public and a corruption-free, development-oriented government will be formed in Rajasthan,” he said. (ANI)

NADDA ON NDA MEET

Huge Difference Between Pre-2014 & Post-2014 India: Nadda

By LokMarg

BJP national president JP Nadda on Sunday launched a veiled attack on the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) regime at the Centre, saying there was a huge difference between “pre-2014 and post-2014 India”.

“Bharat, before 2014, was counted as a country afflicted with corruption, it was a Bharat on paralysis. It was an indecisive Bharat, a scam-tainted Bharat. 2G..3G..4G.5G..”, Nadda said while addressing a public meeting at Sivasagar in Assam.
“Every kind of scam that one can think of happened before 2014,” the BJP chief said, in a dig at previous UPA regimes without taking names, adding, “We are seeing two contrasting pictures of India — one before the last 9 years and the other after.”

The BJP has been holding public rallies across the country to mark the completion of 9 years of the NDA government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Listing out the achievements of the BJP government at the Centre, Nadda said PM Modi, over the last 9 years, has endeavoured to take the country to “new heights of development”.

“Since 2014, under the leadership of PM Modi, there’s been a decisive, strong and towering government at the Centre. This is a government that is taking the country to new heights,” the BJP national president said.

“The PM has worked to make India a strong nation. He has infused a new energy and dynamism to the country, making it aspirational,” Nadda added.

“Today, we can say that whether it be about good governance or Garib Kalyan (welfare of the poor), the country has made big strides under the leadership of PM Modi,” Nadda said.

He said today, India is seen with respect around the world due to its “stature and growing influence”.

Underlining the country’s development push, the BJP national chief said Rs 18 lakh crore was spent on infrastructure alone between 2014 and 2022.

“This year, Rs 10 lakh crore will be spent on infrastructure projects,” he said.

As part of the month-long mega outreach initiative to mark 9 years of the NDA government under PM Modi, the BJP has been holding events and public meetings across the country. (ANI)

He also hit out at the Congress party and said that Congress has shielded terrorism for the vote bank.

“Congress is opposing the film made on terrorism and standing with terror tendencies. Congress has shielded terrorism for the vote bank”, PM Modi said.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan earlier said in a statement that the movie was deliberately made with the aim of creating communal polarisation and spreading hate propaganda against Kerala.

Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that the newly released movie has been made tax-free in the state stating that the ‘The Kerala Story’ “exposes the conspiracy of love Jihad, religious conversion and terrorism.”

Helmed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, the film has triggered a massive political row with various leaders reacting to the upcoming movie.

‘The Kerala Story’ stars Adah Sharma, Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Balani in the lead roles. The trailer of Sen’s film ‘The Kerala Story’ came under fire as it claimed that 32,000 girls from the state went missing and later joined the terrorist group, ISIS.

Faced with backlash the makers then withdrew the figure and called the movie the story of three women from Kerala, in its trailer description. (ANI)

Free cooking gas cylinders will be provided in three installments of one cylinder each in the months of Yugadi, Ganesh Chaturthi and Deepavali.

Nadda Releases BJP’s Manifesto For Karnataka Polls

By LokMarg

Bharatiya Janata Party national president JP Nadda on Monday released the party’s manifesto or vision document for the Karnataka Assembly elections in Bengaluru.

Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, former Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa were also present on the occasion.
In previous manifestoes, the BJP has claimed to have touched every section of society.

In its manifesto for the 2018 Assembly polls, the party had also included cow protection measures in its manifesto.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also campaigning in the last leg of the BJP’s campaign for the Karnataka polls.

He has already conducted a number of rallies and held roadshows, the latest of which was in Mysuru, a traditional JDS bastion, on Sunday.

Considered as a triangular contest between the BJP, Congress and the JDS, all parties are trying hard and leaving no stone unturned while some political leaders have indulged in hurling abuses. The Congress, which fought the last Assembly polls in alliance with the JDS, decided to go it alone this time around.

On Sunday, PM Modi, while addressing an election rally in Kolar, came down heavily on Congress national president Mallikarjuna Kharge over his “poisonous snake” barb at him.

PM Modi said the people of Karnataka will give the party a “befitting reply” to Kharge’s remark in the Assembly elections.

At a campaign rally in Kalaburagi on Thursday, the Congress national president said, “PM Modi is like a ‘poisonous snake’, you might wonder if it’s poison or not. But if you lick it, you are dead.”

Hitting back over the remark, PM Modi said, “The Congress is clearly disturbed over my ongoing fight against corruption. It has even started threaening me. They are saying ‘Modi teri kabar khudegi’ (PM Modi, your grave will be dug). It seems the Congress’s only talking point in these elections is snake poison. They are comparing me to a snake and seeking votes on it. The people of Karnataka are like Lord Shiva to me. I don’t mind being the snake around the necks of people who are like god to me. The people of Karnataka will give them a befitting reply on May 10.”

PM Modi also labeled the Congress as an “outdated engine”.

The counting of votes for the Karnataka Assembly will be held on May 13. (ANI)
