New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party is in trouble after Delhi is not included in the 10 most polluted cities in Asia. In this list of World Air Quality Index, 8 cities are in India but Delhi is not named. Kejriwal has got another weapon against the BJP because of this report, which came out just when firecrackers are banned in Delhi due to pollution.
Kejriwal took advantage of the opportunity and congratulated the people by tweeting, "A few years ago, Delhi was one of the most polluted cities in the world, but the people of Delhi have improved a lot by working hard. Now we will make Delhi the best city.
In this list, Gurgram in Haryana is the most polluted city in the country. Andhra Pradesh's Rajamahendravaram is the only city in the top 10 best air quality list.
BJP Leader Andarkhan admits that the report, which came at a time when the issue of ban on firecrackers is in the news, has dealt a blow to the BJP and given Kejriwal another chance to campaign.
Allegation of rape against BJP minister's son
In Tripura, BJP government minister Bhagwan Das's son's name has come out in the rape case of a minor girl. Bhagwan Das is the Labor Minister in the Manik Saha government and a senior BJP leader. There is concern in the BJP that the name of the BJP minister will be dropped just when there are elections in Tripura early next year. Opposition Congress and CPIM have demanded the minister's resignation. Some BJP leaders are also of the opinion that the BJP should dismiss the minister to avoid the embarrassing situation. According to the information given by the police, this incident is on October 19. In Kumarghat of Unakot district, a 16-year-old girl was taken to a three-storey building on the pretext of a woman and allegedly raped by three men, including a minister's son. Three people including a woman have been arrested in this case but the other accused are absconding. The police are silent on the involvement of the minister's son. The opposition has asked Chief Minister Manik Saha to clarify but the BJP has denied the allegations. BJP claims that Das' son was in Agartala at the time of the incident.
Break in Rahul's journey to decide Khadge's team
Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra has come to a break. Due to Diwali this Yatra has been postponed for three days. On Diwali, most of the members who joined the padayatra with Rahul have gone home so it has been decided to postpone the yatra.
Sources of the Congress say that earlier the decision was not taken to take a break on Diwali, but since Rahul's presence is inevitable in the discussion of who will be in his new team as Khadge becomes the president, the trip has been postponed in the name of Diwali.
Rahul Gandhi has gone to Delhi to celebrate Diwali. Rahul will attend the program on Gujarati New Year i.e. October 26 when newly elected party president Mallikarjun Khadge will take charge. Before that, the names of Kharge's new team will be decided by sitting with Rahul and Sonia.
After returning on the evening of October 26, Rahul will rejoin the Bharat Jodo Yatra on October 27 with all the walkers. Congress' Bharat Jodo Yatra started on September 7 and has already completed the journey of 1,000 km.
Controversy as Mamata leader links biryani with libido
Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress leader and former minister Ravindra Nath Ghosh has created controversy by associating biryani with male libido. Ghosh has closed down two biryani shops in Cooch Behar saying that the spices used in biryani are reducing men's sex drive. Ghosh is currently the President of Coochbehar Municipality.
Ghosh claims that for the past several days, he has been receiving complaints from people in his area that the spices used to make biryani dampen men's libido.
However, when he got angry on this issue, he declared that people from states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh sell biryani in this area. They did not have a trade license, so the shops were closed.
Biryani is found all over India but nowhere has such a claim been made. Following Ghosh's claim, people are making fun of him by saying that, isn't Ghoshbabu making fun of himself in the name of other people?
Effected by Congress' request, Pawar will join Rahul's yatra
Top Congress leaders are joining Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, but Congress is trying to include leaders of anti-BJP parties as well. As a part of it, Congress invited anti-BJP leaders. NCP leader Sharad Pawar has responded positively and announced that he will join the Bharat Jodo Yatra when it enters Maharashtra.
Pawar announced that Bharat Jodo Yatra is a program of Congress, but as its aim is to create a sense of unity among the people by bringing harmony in the society, some leaders of our party will join the yatra whenever possible. Pawar did not specify who will join the yatra, but sources claim that NCP leaders including Praful Patel, Ajit Pawar, Supriya Shule will join at different times during the yatra in Maharashtra.
Congress is happy with Pawar's announcement. Congress sources say that apart from Pawar, leaders including Lalu Prasad Yadav, Akhilesh Yadav are also likely to join. Due to this, the opposition will send a message that they are united in the fight against the BJP.
