    Hyderabad: The ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) kept up their political drama online by taking swipes at each other on Twitter via creative posters. The BJP first put up a creative alleging corruption in the state, which was followed by the BRS calling it the “Bhrashtachari Jumla Party”.

    The BJP shared an animated video on its official Twitter page alleging that the ‘Central government funds’ and ‘GST’ was being funnelled into a ‘khazhana’ by a figure that appears to be KCR. The video was captioned “Embroiled in Corruption, immersed in Scams, Ruining Telangana, as much as he can! #CorruptKCR”

    The BRS in its reply to BJP’s animated video accusing KCR of corruption dubbed the latter as “Brashtachari Jumla Party”. A series of cartoon images that alleged the involvement of prime minister Narendra Modi with Adani was posted with the caption of ‘look who’s talking’.

    On Wednesday, BJP shared an animated video on its official twitter page showing an animated caricature, appearing to be the Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, carrying funds in a suitcase labelled as “Central government funds”.

    The animated figure was seen depositing the money into the boxes, which read “Rythu Bandhu, Aasara Pension, Shaadi Mubarak, Kalyana Lakshmi and Chota Mota Scheme” while being surrounded by camera flashes.

    The boxes were seen funnelled into a “Khazana” room where another animated caricature of a woman who appears to be the BRS leader K Kavitha was present. The animated figure was then seen hiding the suitcase with the money under the bed and was also animated to sit on top of the suitcase after covering it with a cloth.

    Another scene in the video shows the caricature of CM KCR climbing stacks of coins and ‘dreaming’ of the “PM Chair” and holding up a sign that says “National party launched”; a jibe at KCR rechristening the TRS to the BRS recently.

    As other figures were cheering on this, a woman’s animation was seen getting arrested, clearly indicating the Delhi liquor policy scam and Kavitha’s questioning by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

    The BRS replied to this jibe at the CM KCR in the form of an animated video in a thread of 5 cartoon images. The first image depicted Indian businessman Gautam Adani fishing out cargo ships, aeroplanes and train engines using PM Modi as the fishing pole. The image was titled “Exclusive policies tailor-made for Adani”.

    The second image was captioned “Your party and supreme leader’s tales of corruption has crossed shores! BJP is giving new meaning to G2G deal. It is no longer called ‘Government to Government deal’, it is Gautam Adani to Gotabaya Rajapaksa deal.”

    Dubbing the power contracts awarded by Sri Lanka to the Adani group as “Brokered by: Vish Guru ModiG”.

    The third image has a cartoon caricature of Adani devouring coal while another cartoon caricature of PM Modi was seen saying “States should buy ADANI COAL”. In the caption, the BRS alleged, “The supreme leader forced states to import Adani coal at a higher price when enough coal was available at a cheaper price on our Indian soil. Electricity prices skyrocketed. Adani won, people lost,”

  • Maha CM Shinde slams Rahul, jibes at Uddhav, hails Modi at Savarkar Gaurav Yatra

    Maha CM Shinde slams Rahul, jibes at Uddhav, hails Modi at Savarkar Gaurav Yatra

    Thane: Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday led the ‘Savarkar Gaurav Yatra’ in his hometown Thane in which hundreds of people took part to honour late Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar.

    The Bharatiya Janata Party and Shinde-led Shiv Sena had last month announced that Savarkar Gaurav Yatras would be taken out in each district of Maharashtra to honour Savarkar’s contribution to the country and to counter Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s criticism against him.

    On Sunday, the yatra participants, wearing saffron caps with ‘Mi Savarkar’ (I am Savarkar) and other messages were written on them, paid floral tributes to Savarkar at the Ram Ganesh Gadkari Rangayatan auditorium in Thane city from where the yatra commenced.

    On the culmination of the rally, addressing a gathering, Shinde slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his repeated attacks on Savarkar and said insults to freedom fighters were akin to insulting the nation.

    People are angry to see some forces trying to malign Hindutva by attacking Savarkar, Shinde said.

    “We have noticed citizens expressing disappointment over some people consistently insulting Savarkar. An insult of Savarkar is the insult of every Indian. I openly condemn people like Rahul Gandhi for his tirade against Savarkar. I dare anyone to live a day in the Cellular Jail the way Savarkar was jailed,” Shinde said.

    Without taking names, he also swiped at Shiv Sena (UBT) Uddhav Thackeray. “Balasaheb Thackeray had hit the effigy of Mani Shankar Aiyar once (for such remarks). Unfortunately, some people who claim Balasaheb Thackeray’s legacy are now sitting with those (Congress’ Rahul Gandhi) who have consistently attacked Savarkar,” Shinde said.

    Praising Narendra Modi, the chief minister said Hindutva was seen as an aggression against minorities, but the prime minister had brought back its glory post 2014.

    “Hindutva is not against any religion. But some people deliberately keep misinterpreting it,” Shinde remarked. A tableau displaying information related to Savarkar was also part of the yatra.

    Shinde and some other leaders of the ruling Shiv Sena-BJP coalition participated in the yatra on a makeshift ‘chariot’ with a large photograph of Savarkar in the background. The vehicle was decorated with flowers and followed by supporters riding motorbikes with saffron flags on them.

    The CM waved to citizens as the yatra moved to cover four Assembly segments in the city. Flowers were showered on the participants as several of them moved around Thane city using more than 200 motorbikes and around 100 auto-rickshaws raising slogans in praise of Savarkar and the country.

    BJP leader Dr Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, Thane MLA Sanjay Kelkar, Thane BJP chief and MLC Niranjan Davkhare, former mayor Naresh Mhaske, Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik and many other local leaders of the ruling coalition participated in the yatra.
    Huge hoardings with pictures of Savarkar were put up in the city, patriotic songs were played during the yatra and rangolis (colourful patterns) were made at various places.

    BJP-Shiv Sena’s Savarkar Gaurav Yatra

    Rahul Gandhi’s “My name is not Savarkar, my name is Gandhi and Gandhi does not offer an apology to anyone” remark has drawn fire from the BJP.

    The former Congress chief had made the remark while addressing a press conference after being disqualified from the Lok Sabha and amid BJP’s demands for his apology for allegedly insulting Other Backward Classes (OBCs) with his “Modi surname remark” that got him convicted for criminal defamation.

    Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule last month said his party will take out Savarkar Gaurav Yatras’ in all 288 Assembly segments of the state from March 30 to April 6, and apart from senior BJP leaders including Devendra Fadnavis, CM Shinde and 40 MLAs of Shiv Sena will also participate.

    “We will reach out to people with the history of Savarkar and how he is being insulted by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and MPCC chief Nana Patole,” Bawankule had said.
