  • Post Gujarat HC’s ruling, AAP begins ‘show your degree’ campaign

    Post Gujarat HC’s ruling, AAP begins ‘show your degree’ campaign

    [ad_1]

    The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has begun a ‘show your degree’ campaign and urged BJP politicians to do the same.

    Delhi education minister Atishi, began the campaign a week after the Gujarat High Court fined Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal Rs 25,000 for requesting details of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s degrees when the information was already available.

    “We’re launching a campaign today. Every day, your leaders will demonstrate their degree to you. I have a BA from Delhi University as well as two Master’s degrees from Oxford. They’re all original,” Atishi told reporters in Delhi on Sunday.

    “I want to ask all leaders, especially BJP leaders, to show their degrees,” she added, adding that AAP representatives will do so as part of the campaign.

    The latest high court judgement heightened the debate surrounding the AAP’s aggressive campaign emphasising details on PM Modi’s degrees. The party has put up posters in numerous cities criticising Prime Minister Modi.

    In response to Mr Kejriwal’s Right to Information (RTI) request in 2016, the then-Central Information Commission M Sridhar Acharyulu directed the Prime Minister’s Office, Gujarat University, and Delhi University to provide information on PM Modi’s graduation and postgraduate degrees.

    The Gujarat University swiftly posted PM Modi’s degree on its website, but it also disputed the Information Commission’s ruling on principle.

    The ruling BJP distributed copies of PM Modi’s degrees, which it said were a BA from Delhi University and an MA in Political Science from Gujarat University. Kejriwal claimed the materials included ‘glaring discrepancies.’

    Tushar Mehta, the government’s lawyer before the Gujarat High Court, argued that the two institutions should not be forced to reveal the information. “In a democracy, it makes no difference whether the individual holding the post has a degree or is illiterate. Furthermore, there is no public interest in this matter. “Even his privacy is jeopardized,” the senior government lawyer stated, stressing that PM Modi’s degrees had no influence on his work.

    Kejriwal’s counsel said that educational criteria were included on election candidature papers and that the question was legal. “We are requesting a degree certificate, not his mark sheet,” said AAP lawyer Percy Kavina at the Gujarat High Court.

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

    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.

  • Now, both Congress, RSS show solidarity with BJP’s former Raj chief Poonia on his removal

    Now, both Congress, RSS show solidarity with BJP’s former Raj chief Poonia on his removal

    [ad_1]

    Jaipur: In a startling coincidence, both Congress as well as RSS veterans are expressed solidarity with BJP’s former Rajasthan President Satish Poonia on his removal from the post, terming it a poor decision taken by his party in the election year which will boomerang on it.

    Congress leaders accused the BJP of being “two-faced”, saying that on one hand, they are accusing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of adopting an “anti-OBC stand”, and on the other hand, have removed OBC leader Poonia as state party President. They also claimed that Poonia was doing fair work and was a hard working leader as they questioned that why was he removed.

    The BJP has appointed Poonia as the Deputy Leader of Opposition in Assembly, after replacing him with C.P. Joshi, but Congress say this is not enough for Poonia.

    MS Education Academy

    A video has surfaced in which Congress MLA Mahendra Chaudhary from Nawan assembly seat in Nagaur district is seen saying that Poonia worked so hard and suffered injuries on his hands and legs, yet the BJP removed him from the post of state President. Questioning the change, he claimed that the BJP has not only done wrong to Poonia, but meted injustice to the farmers living in 70 per cent of the villages.

    Making him the Deputy Leader of the Opposition won’t help, he said, adding that this act of BJP was wrong.

    Chaudhary said that when he became Chief Deputy Whip, there was a different arrangement. He said that the BJP has not given any message by making Poonia the Deputy Leader of Opposition, which “is just no post”. He said that there was no allegation against Poonia, yet he was removed, while Poonia did all the work of the party in a better way.

    The video is going viral on social media.

    Even state Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra hit back at BJP leaders for attacking Gandhi for his alleged anti-OBC statements, while terming removal of Poonia as the “anti-OBC stand” of the saffron party.

    Dotasra asked with what face does the BJP who removed OBC state President talk about OBCs. “The BJP is teaching us the lesson on OBCs, but has itself removed the OBC state President. There is always respect for OBCs in the Congress. Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel and I myself belong to OBC category. BJP only works to divert the attention of the public from the real issues by bringing jumlas,” he quipped.

    State minister Subhash Garg even claimed that the BJP will split after removing Poonia from his post.

    Meanwhile, the RSS is also dissatisfied with party’s decision and veteran leaders reportedly have expressed their resentment against his removal.

    On Friday, there were back to back meetings of RSS veterans including B.L. Santosh, Arun Kumar, among others who expressed their dissatisfaction over the way Poonia was removed.

    They said that he should have been given some position before his removal and it could have been conveyed earlier that extension will not be given to him.

    Meanwhile, after these meetings, it was decided to announce him as Deputy Leader of Opposition to calm down agitating Jats who form a significant voting bloc in Rajasthan.

  • Telangana: Bandi challenges KCR to show his degree certificates

    Telangana: Bandi challenges KCR to show his degree certificates

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party president Bandi Sanjay on Tuesday challenged chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to disclose his post-graduate degree certificates, before talking about the educational qualifications of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    “KCR has claimed to have completed his M Sc in political science. Let him disclose his certificates if he has guts, instead of making a hue and cry over the educational qualifications of the Prime Minister,” Sanjay said, while speaking to media after inspecting the arrangements for Modi’s public meeting scheduled to be held on April 8.

    Sanjay said the Prime Minister would be coming to Hyderabad to flag off Vande Bharat Express, besides kickstarting the modernisation works of Secunderabad railway station and other projects.

    MS Education Academy

    “He would be addressing a rally at Secunderabad parade grounds at 10.30 am and I request all sections of people to attend his meeting in big numbers,” he said.

    Reacting to the comments of KCR and his son KT Rama Rao on Modi’s educational qualifications, Sanjay said the Prime Minister had read the ‘entire Indian society’ and was leading the country on the ‘path of progress’.

    “What has KCR studied? He claimed to have studied M Sc (political science). Let him disclose his certificate. He has done masters degree in making fake passports and creating fake certificates,” he alleged.

    Recalling the Bharat Rashtra Samithi president’s claim that he had studied 80,000 books, Sanjay said the knowledge earned from those books was being used in running ‘drug, gambling and liquor mafia’, besides taking ‘huge kickbacks’ in the name of ‘commissions’. “KCR and his family members are educated fools,” he said.

    Stating that KCR had converted a revenue surplus state into a state ridden with Rs 5 lakh crore debts. “BRS has become an acronym for beer, rum and scotch party. It is a gang of international dacoits, who looted the state through various schemes and scams,” he said.

    Sanjay said while there have been a series of leaks of question papers, KCR and his family members are parking their ‘ill-gotten money’ in foreign countries. “His family which was confined to just a building at Nandinagar eight years ago had amassed huge wealth running into thousands of crores,” he alleged.

    He claimed that senior journalist Rajdeep Sardesai had said that KCR had offered to bear the election expenditure of all the opposition parties in the country if he was made the chairman of the opposition alliance. “It clearly shows how much ill-gotten money KCR had made to fund the election expenditure of all parties in the world,” he criticised.

    The BJP president reiterated his demand for the resignation of KCR and the sacking of his son KT Rama Rao from the cabinet for the TSPSC question paper leakage and the leakage of Class X papers. “Has KCR ever reviewed their activities? Even the education minister should also resign,” he said.

    Stating that the BJP would continue to fight till the culprits in the TSPSC question paper leakage are brought to book, Sanjay announced that very soon, the party would organise a march of the unemployed at Warangal with thousands of unemployed youth.

    “Similar march would be held in all the district headquarters and later, a massive public meeting would be held in the state capital,” he declared.

  • Maha: Will Modi show courage to probe Adani’s investments through shell’ companies, asks Patole

    Maha: Will Modi show courage to probe Adani’s investments through shell’ companies, asks Patole

    [ad_1]

    Thane: Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole on Friday alleged that the Adani group has invested Rs 20,000 crore through shell companies and asked if Prime Minister Narendra Modi will show “courage” to probe it.

    He was speaking to reporters here after taking part in a demonstration against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre.

    Patole said the Modi government has in the past nine years made “arrangements for his friends to grab public money”. The senior Congress leader said several government contracts have been given to companies of businessman Gautam Adani.

    Patole claimed that the Adani group has invested Rs 20,000 crore through shell companies. “Where did this money come from? The same question has also been raised by Rahul Gandhi. Will Prime Minister Narendra Modi show the courage to inquire into this?” he asked.

    The Congress has been demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe after US short-seller Hindenberg Research in January accused the Adani Group firms of “brazen stock manipulation and accounting fraud” and using a number of offshore shell companies to inflate stock prices. Adani Group has rejected the allegations.

    The Congress has stepped up its attack on the Centre after Rahul Gandhi was disqualifed as a Lok Sabha member following his conviction by a Surat court in a 2019 criminal defamation case.

    Thane city District Congress president Vikrant Chavan was among those who took part in the demonstration.

    Rajasthan Cong stages demonstration to show solidarity with Rahul

    [ad_1]

    Jaipur: Rajasthan Congress workers led by state unit president Govind Singh Dotasara held a protest outside the party’s headquarters here on Thursday in solidarity with party leader Rahul Gandhi.

    A court in Surat sentenced Gandhi on Thursday to two years in jail in a 2019 criminal defamation case filed against him over his “Modi surname” remark.

    Addressing the Congress workers, Dotasara said Gandhi fearlessly puts forth his views while fighting the battle of truth. He said Gandhi was firm on his views and instead of apologising like Savarkar, he accepted the action being taken against him.

    “Gandhi is fighting the battle of truth. The verdict of the court will be challenged under the judicial process,” he said.
