BJP awaits PM’s visit to Kerala for major fillip in its outreach to minorities

[ad_1]
Kottayam: The BJP in Kerala is looking forward to the upcoming visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the state next week in hopes that it would give an impetus to its campaign aimed at bringing minorities into its fold.
The reason behind the expectation, according to BJP state president K Surendran, is the “flow” of people, especially from minority communities, to join the party.
Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, Surendran said the BJP will begin a massive campaign to bring religious minorities into its embrace with Modi’s visit.

He said the Prime Minister’s trip to Kerala would be a turning point for the party as even before his arrival, people have started flocking to join it.
The BJP leader said around 80 persons from prominent families belonging to minority communities joined the BJP in Kottayam district today.
More are expected to join the saffron party from Pathanamthitta district in the coming days, he added.
“Kottayam was the beginning. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Kerala, there will be a huge influx to the BJP from the religious minorities,” he said at the reception held here for the new members who joined the party.
He also said the party has prepared a list of persons whom it wants to invite as members and these are people who are concerned about Kerala’s future.

Earlier in the day, Union Minister of State for Minority Affairs John Barla met Cardinal George Alencherry, Major Archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church at his residence.
After the meeting, Barla said in a Facebook post that it was “positive interaction”, where many national issues related to the Christian community were discussed along with the mission and vision of PM Modi.
During the day, he also met with Archbishop Kuriakose Mar Severios at the Knanaya Jacobite Archdiocese at Chingavanam and visited the St Kuriakos Elias Chavara pilgrim centre at Mannanam here.
Meanwhile, Surendran also said rubber rates will see some changes soon.
Recently, a senior Bishop — Thalassery Archbishop Mar Joseph Pamplany — of the influential Syro-Malabar Catholic Church had said that if the Centre promised to increase the price of rubber procurement to Rs 300 per kilogram, BJP’s dearth of an MP from the southern state would be addressed.
His statement had created ripples in the political waters of the state.
On Tuesday, Surendran said the central government will take a stand favourable for rubber farmers and alleged that it was the state government which was lying to them.
He urged the ruling Left front to implement what it had said in the poll manifesto regarding rubber pricing and to indicate its stand on the issue of hiking the rubber price to Rs 300 per kg.

Arithmetic of PM’s success has spoiled mathematics of ‘Modi bashing brigade’: Naqvi

[ad_1]
Bharatpur: Senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Tuesday said the arithmetic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s success has spoiled the “mathematics of the Modi bashing brigade”.
Speaking at an iftar event here, the former Union minister, without naming anyone, said some people are distressed over the continued failure of the disinformation drive against the prime minister.
“The arithmetic of PM Narendra Modi’s stupendous success has spoiled the mathematics of the Modi bashing brigade,” Naqvi said.

Targeting the Opposition, he said the Congress and its allies are suffering from the “obstinacy of opposing” each and every policy of the Modi government.
The people of the country are intelligent and they understand that the “clan of corrupt and criminals” is trying to create speed breakers in the path of the country’s prosperity.
The prime minister is demolishing every speed breaker with the power of “inclusive empowerment”, he said.
The iftar event was organised by Ajmer Dargah Committee member Amin Pathan. A large number of religious leaders and other prominent personalities attended the event.

Nepal appoints new Foreign Minister, says PM’s India visit soon

[ad_1]
Kathmandu: Nepali Congress leader N.P. Saud was on Sunday appointed the country’s new Foreign Minister – filling the key post that was lying vacant for over one and half months.
Saud, who is considered close with former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, was administered the oath of office and secrecy by President Ram Chandra Poudel.
After assuming the office, he said that homework for the India visit of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ will now begin.

According to some media reports, Prachanda is now planning to visit India by mid May, instead of April as planned earlier.
“I have just assumed office today… I will take a briefing from the officials regarding the India visit of the Prime Minister,” Saud said after assuming the office.
“We will strengthen our ties with the neighbouring countries,” he added.
A slew of agreements across various sectors are expected to be signed during Prachanda’s visit, including signing of an agreement for the construction of the Raxaul-Kathmandu railway with India’s financial assistance as its detailed project report (DPR) has been prepared by the Indian consultant Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd (KRCL).
The KRCL has already handed over the DPR to India’s Ministry of External Affairs.

During a press conference on March 27, Deputy Prime Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha, who then held the Physical Infrastructure and Transport portfolio, had said that the DPR of the proposed Kathmandu-Raxaul railway would be prepared within a month and the Nepali side could receive the report a month later.
To discuss the DPR of the 136-km-long railway that will link Kathmandu with the Indian town Raxaul, Nepal and India are holding a meeting of their joint working group on railway by the end of this week, said an senior official at the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport.
Some other agreements and issues related to development of two hydropower projects in Nepal, energy cooperation, trade, commerce, digital payments, import of wheat, air routes, water resources, transit, cross-border transmission line among others will be signed or discussed in the visit.

PM’s repeated visits show how weak BJP is in Karnataka: Congress

[ad_1]
Bengaluru: The Congress claimed on Saturday that the repeated visits of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the southern state only show how weak the BJP is in Karnataka, which goes to the polls on May 10.
Speaking to mediapersons, Karnataka Congress President D.K. Shivakumar said that the people of the state have taken a decision to overthrow the BJP government, which is known to the saffron party leaders and that is why the central leaders of the BJP are repeatedly visiting the state.
“Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister of the country, and he can come down to the state as many times as he wishes. But he is repeatedly visiting Karnataka now for campaigning, which shows how weak the BJP is in the state,” Shivakumar said.

“By making all these attempts, the BJP leaders seem to have already conceded defeat. The voters of the state are intelligent and they are going to change the government, no matter who visits the state,” he added.
The Congress leader also claimed that since they are not able to draw the masses, the BJP leaders are roping in film actors.
“There is a conspiracy to use the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against the Congress candidates. The police are also acting as BJP’s agents. I have asked to prepare a list of such officers. They can do this for only 40 days,” Shivakumar said.

Modi came to spill poison: BRS slams PM’s claims that Telangana is non-cooperative

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader and state finance minister T Harish Rao said that PM Narendra Modi came to Telangana not to lay the foundation stone for development projects but to spill poison.
Reacting to Modi’s statements about the state’s non-cooperation with Central projects, Harish said “Every word is far from the truth. Playing so many lies as the Prime Minister is worth it to him.”
ప్రధాని మోడీ గారు, కేంద్ర ప్రభుత్వ ప్రాజెక్టులకు శంకుస్థాపన చేయడానికి వచ్చినట్లు లేదు. తెలంగాణ పై తన కడుపులోని విషాన్ని కక్కడానికి వచ్చినట్లు ఉంది.
ప్రతీ మాట సత్య దూరం. ప్రధానిగా ఇన్ని అబద్ధాలు ఆడడం ఆయనకే చెల్లింది.
తెలంగాణ ఏర్పడినప్పటి నుండీ ఆసరా పెన్షన్, రైతు బంధు వంటివి…
— Harish Rao Thanneeru (@BRSHarish) April 8, 2023
“It is ridiculous for Modi to say that the state government is not cooperating with the Centre. Actually, the situation is reversed. Centre is not giving any support to Telangana by not sanctioning a tribal university, railway coach factory, Bayyaram steel industry, medical colleges, and nursing colleges,” Harish Rao said.

The minister said that Modi’s ‘Parivarvaad’ claims were to divert people’s attention from the Adani issue.
“Since the formation of Telangana, Aasara pension and Rythu Bandhu has been directly deposited in the beneficiary’s account. It is a big lie to say that Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) started because of him,” said the finance minister.
He said that the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme is a copy of Rythu Bandhu. “It is a shame to claim that farmers benefited for the first time because of the PM Kisan scheme. How much of a help is the scheme compared to Rythu Bandhu?” added Harish Rao.
“Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) has been moved to Bangalore, an arbitration centre was set up in Gujarat immediately after Telangana did it and farmers were troubled while rice grains were not purchased from Telangana. Is it not your government that has done all this?” Harish Rao asked Modi.

Rich get richer, poor get poorer: Sibal’s swipe at PM’s social justice remarks

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Friday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks on the BJP’s commitment to social justice, claiming that under this government the “rich get richer and the poor get poorer”.
Addressing BJP members at the party’s 44th foundation day, Modi on Thursday cited the free ration scheme, health insurance and other welfare measures, to assert that social justice was an article of faith for the BJP while other parties used the plank to advance the interest of particular families without helping society.
While the BJP thought and dreamt big and then set out to dedicate itself to achieving these goals, opposition parties could set small goals and patted each other for achieving even smaller targets, the prime minister had said.

In a tweet, Sibal said, “PM: ‘BJP lives for social justice and follows it in letter and spirit’. Facts: 1) 40 per cent of the wealth created from 2012-2021 went to only 1 per cent of the population 2) In 2022 Adani’s wealth increased 46 per cent 3) 64 per cent of GST came from the bottom 50 per cent; 4 per cent came from top 10 per cent.”
“Rich get richer the poor poorer,” Sibal claimed.
Sibal, who was a Union minister during UPA 1 and 2, quit the Congress in May last year and was elected to the Rajya Sabha as an Independent member with the Samajwadi Party’s support.
He recently floated a non-electoral platform ‘Insaaf’ aimed at fighting injustice.

Modi in Hyderabad: Vande Bharat, AIIMS & public meet key events on PM’s visit

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The BJP’s preparations for Telangana Assembly elections scheduled later this year are likely to get a boost with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Hyderabad on April 8 during which he is expected to address a public meeting and launch various development projects.
The BJP leaders expect that PM Modi’s visit will boost their morale in the runup to the Assembly elections. The party expects that he will set the tone for the party’s poll campaign.
The Prime Minister is expected to launch an attack on Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government for its various acts of omissions and commissions.

PM Modi is likely to target BRS and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao over corruption, especially in the wake of questioning of his daughter K. Kavitha by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam.
He is also likely to hit out at the BRS government over the Telangana State Public Service Commission (TSPSC) paper leak, which has heated up state politics.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has also taken up state-wide protests over the paper leak, alleging involvement of KCR’s son and state minister K.T. Rama Rao.
The Telangana unit of the BJP has huge expectations from PM Modi’s visit in view of his recent statement about the state.
“In the south, we have always been strong in Karnataka and in Telangana, people now have confidence only in one party, BJP, and in Andhra Pradesh also people are looking towards us,” Modi had said on March 28 while inaugurating the residential complex of the party in Delhi.

Modi will be launching various railway projects at Secunderabad Railway Station and later a public meeting at Parade Grounds in Secunderabad.
Union Minister for Tourism and Culture G. Kishan Reddy along with state BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar and party MP K. Laxman on Tuesday visited Secunderabad Railway Station and Parade Grounds to take stock of the preparations for the Prime Minister’s visit.
Kishan Reddy, who is also an MP from Secunderabad, said the PM would lay the foundation stone for the re-development of Secunderabad Railway Station. The station is being revamped at a cost of Rs 719 crore and will provide world-class railway infrastructure and amenities.
He will also lay the foundation stone of the new block of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at a cost of Rs 1,336 crore.
Kishan Reddy said this would give a big boost to health infrastructure in Telangana. The expansion and new facilities include academic blocks, auditorium, staff quarters, hostels and guest houses. The hospital block renovation is also underway.
Meanwhile, Telangana Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari on Tuesday reviewed arrangements for PM Modi’s visit. She instructed the officials to make foolproof arrangements.
Presiding over a coordination meeting, she said that all the departments have to work in close coordination and make the brief visit of the Prime Minister a success.
The police have to make adequate security arrangements, law and order, traffic and bandobast arrangements as per the blue book.
The fire department was asked to arrange adequate fire fighting equipment and fire tenders should be positioned at the venue. Medical staff, ambulances and other facilities should be kept ready at all the venues.
The Chief Secretary asked officials to repair roads to be used by the Prime Minister’s convoy. Uninterrupted power supply at all the venues should be ensured, she said.
DGP Anjani Kumar, senior police officers and officials from various departments including railways attended the meeting.
