New Delhi: While it is clear that the BJP, which is preparing for the Lok Sabha elections, will make changes in the organization and the Union Cabinet, there is a possibility of Chirag Paswan's re-entry into the Union Cabinet. BJP sources support this. These speculations are going on as the central Government has recently given government protection to Chirag.

Seeing his increasing closeness with Chirag Paswan, his inclusion in the cabinet is considered certain. Following the alliance of Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav in Bihar, BJP wants a new vote bank for itself. Chirag can become this new vote bank as Chirag has around six percent votes.

Sources in the BJP claim that the vacancies left by the resignation of JDU and Shiv Sena quota ministers can be filled with new allies. The Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde is sure to get representation but Chirag will also get a seat. Currently, Chirag's uncle Pashupatinath Paras is a minister in the Modi government.

BJP looking for allies to strengthen in South

Ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and nine state assembly elections this year, the BJP has started looking for allies. The BJP has ordered its organization to find allies to expand the NDA. The High Command has ordered the Chief Ministers to make efforts to bring opposition parties into the NDA, even if they have different ideologies but agree on the development agenda of the Modi government at the Centre. BJP is still not strong in many states of the country. Efforts will be made to tie up with local parties in these states as well.

The meeting of BJP general ministers discussed about the current and future allies of NDA. Sources claim that the BJP has not been able to gain a full foothold in South India despite its efforts, so the mission will make the terms of engagement more liberal to make the South a success. The BJP is also ready to bow down to an alliance with old allies, including the TDP, which has stood with the BJP in the past.

Your Sanjay will benefit from the punishment, the image will be strengthened

Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh has been sentenced to three months in prison and a fine of Rs 1500 by the Sultanpur Court of Uttar Pradesh. In 2001, Singh staged a dharna in Sultanpur district against cutting of beetroot. The court has sentenced in this case. As Sanjay Singh's sentence is less than 3 years, he got bail immediately.

The court has also sentenced many other leaders who joined the sit-in along with Sanjay Singh. It also has Vijay Secretary of BJP. Sanjay Singh has announced to challenge this verdict in the higher court. Sanjay was running an organization in the name of Azad Seva Samiti at that time.

Political analysts consider the sentence to be paltry and likely to be overturned in the High Court, but believe that the sentence will benefit Sanjay's image. Even the political parties cannot use this issue against Sanjay because he has been sentenced to prison for presenting people's problems.

Dhankhad-Birla-Gehlot's statements are shocking

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhard, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Speaker of Rajasthan Legislative Assembly C.P. The statements made by Joshi and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot have shocked everyone. These four dignitaries claimed that the Supreme Court should not interfere in the law made by the Parliament and said that the court should stay within the limits and do its work within its limits.

Vice President Dhankhad said that Parliament makes laws and the Supreme Court overturns them. Does a law made by Parliament become a law only when it is sanctioned by the court? How can any other body be allowed to review the decision of Parliament? The rest of the speakers also echoed this.

According to constitutional experts, such statements are childish and ridiculous given that the Supreme Court has the power to review laws made by Parliament and uphold the Constitution.

Minister's claim: Ram Charitmanas increased hatred

Bihar Education Minister and RJD MLA Dr Chandrasekhar has created controversy by calling Manu Smriti and Ramcharitmanas books that spread hatred in the society. They claim that Ramcharit Manas prevents Dalits, backward communities and women from getting their rights by preventing them from further education. India has more than six thousand castes and as many walls of hate. India cannot become world guru as long as there is hatred in the society.

When questioned by the media on this issue, he reiterated his point and said that at one time Manu Smriti had sown the seeds of hatred in the society. After that Ramcharitmanas created hatred in the society. Now the thought of Guru Golwalkar is spreading hatred in the society. Dr. Chandrasekhar also recited the Chopai of Ramcharit Manas in support of his point. He said that Babasaheb Ambedkar had burnt Manu Smriti book because this book talks about taking away the rights of Dalits and the underprivileged.

After Bengal, also in Kerala, Vande pelt stones on India

After West Bengal, stones have been pelted on the Vande Bharat Express train in Kerala too. Narendra Modi is going to dedicate this train to the country on January 19, but before that, the windshield of Vande Bharat Express coach was damaged due to stone pelting during maintenance near Kancharpalem. Modi is scheduled to flag off the train in Visakhapatnam next week. This train will run between Secunderabad to Visakhapatnam.

Both West Bengal and Kerala are states with non-BJP party governments. Incidents of stone pelting on trains in these states are giving a political color to this issue. The BJP alleges that the non-BJP parties are jealous of the Modi government's performance, so they are obstructing the development works.

Earlier, this was the third incident of stone pelting on Vande Bharat train in West Bengal in a week. The BJP is blaming Trinamool Congress workers for the stone pelting.

Controversy over Bihari minister's comment on 'Manas'

Bihar Education Minister Chandrasekhar said at the university graduation ceremony that just as Manusmriti and MS Golwalkar's book Bunch of Thoughts create division in the society, Sri Ramacharitmanas based on Ramayana spreads hatred. Any nation is made great by the irrigation of love and affection. Works like Ramcharitmanas, Manusmriti and Bunch of Thoughts spread hatred and sow seeds of social division. This is why people have burned copies of the Manusmriti, while protesting some parts of the Ramacharitmanas. Education of Dalits, Backward and Women is opposed in Manas. National General Secretary of OBC Front of BJP Dr. Nikhil Anand termed Chandrasekhar's opinion as pessimistic. RJD basically plays politics of appeasement of Muslims, which is echoed in such comments, added Anand.

In a letter written to the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, the women's organization 'Warrior Moms', fighting for children to get clean air for breathing, has requested to make financial provision in the next budget of 2023-24 for the affordability of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) to the poor families of the country.
