New Delhi: Amit Shah has given a clear message to the wrestlers that the BJP high command is not ready to take immediate action against the BJP Lok Sabha MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who is facing allegations of sexual harassment of women wrestlers.

The BJP will also address the party's rally on June 11 to signal that it does not want to sideline Singh. It is likely that Yogi Adityanath will also be present in the rally to be held as part of the BJP's 'Maha Sankara Abhiyan' for the 2024 elections in Katra, Kaisarganj, Uttar Pradesh. Yogi is not keen to come on the same stage with Brijbhushan but the high command is persuading him.

Earlier Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh was supposed to hold a public awareness rally in Ayodhya on June 5 but this rally was cancelled. Brij Bhushan posted on social media and said that due to the police investigation, this rally is being postponed for now.

Another fiasco of Nitish's opposition unity meeting

For Nitish Kumar, who is trying to build an anti-BJP front, the first grass has turned into a nightmare. Nitish called a meeting for Opposition Unity Meeting on June 12 but this meeting had to be postponed. This meeting has been postponed for the third time and the reason is considered to be Congress.

The Congress does not need the leadership of anyone other than himself in any front formed for opposition unity, so he has to cancel the meeting by refusing to attend the meeting. Nitish Kumar himself admitted that the Congress high command is not attending the meeting scheduled for June 12, hence the meeting has been postponed.

Now it is not decided when the opposition unity meeting will be held, but Congress sources say that the leadership of Nitish Kumar or anyone else is not approved by the Congress. The matter will move forward only after the leadership issue is resolved first.

Alliance with Chandrababu will spoil BJP's position

After the crushing defeat in Karnataka, BJP has changed its strategy in South India and started looking for allies, but due to the appearance of BJP in Karnataka, political parties are afraid to come with BJP. BJP has decided to surrender to Chandrababu again in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, but due to this, the BJP leader believes that it will be a big blow and the two will become worse.

In Andhra, Jagan Mohan Reddy is currently showing positive attitude towards BJP, but once BJP joins forces with Chandrababu, Jagan's attitude will change. The BJP is pushing Jagan into the opposition camp from the front by aligning with Chandrababu.

Sources in the BJP admit that there was strong opposition from the Telangana state unit to the alliance with the TDP. Naidu made outrageous statements against Modi during the 2019 elections, so the state unit is upset. If there is an alliance with Chandrababu, there will be a breakdown in the BJP in both Andhra and Telangana states.

Governments change, the law changes!

Karnataka's Siddaramaiah Government is considering changing the law banning cow slaughter. In Karnataka, BJP's Basavaraj Bommai government passed the Cow Slaughter and Livestock Protection Amendment Act. Siddaramaiah's government has prepared to amend this law. Karnataka Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science Minister Venkatesh claimed that the change in the law is in the interest of the farmers as the BJP government has made it difficult for the farmers to save dead cattle and dispose of the dead bodies after death. Recently faced several difficulties in locating a dead cow in my farm house.

The BJP government had made such a law in 2010 and 2012, but when the Congress government came to the state, they repealed the law. The Bombay government again made this law and now the Congress government will cancel it again. Thus, the law continues to be amended as governments change.

Kejriwal is accused of not even stopping to sing the national anthem

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is embroiled in the controversy of disrespecting the National Anthem. Kejriwal walked out as soon as the National Anthem was announced in a program organized by the Delhi government on Environment Day.

It was announced in this program that all the people should stand up for singing the national anthem. It was also announced that Kejriwal had taken time out of his busy schedule to participate in the program, so he sought permission to go but the program would continue. After that, Kejriwal is seen leaving the stage. The national anthem started after Kejriwal left. Minister Gopal Rai was also present in this program.

BJP MP Manoj Tiwari shared the video and wrote that, how will Arvind Kejriwal, who cannot stand for even 52 seconds for the national anthem, stand for the tricolor and the nation?

Why did the railway not get the alert despite track tampering?

Efforts have started to float the theory that there is a big conspiracy behind the accident between three trains in Odisha's Balasore. A preliminary investigation by the Railways has found evidence that the track's interlocking system was deliberately tampered with. 275 innocent lives were lost due to track tampering. This railway has decided to get the investigation of the train accident to the CBI.

Officials claim that the railway's interlocking system is very secure. The interlocking system cannot be modified unless there is a deliberate tampering. Due to this, the railway officials are of the view that the Balasore accident may not be an accident but a conspiracy.

According to experts, tampering with the interlocking system is also a failure of the railways. Why did the railways not get an alert about this manipulation when electronics interlocking is used now?

Railways spend less on track maintenance

In the wake of the heartbreaking accident at Balasore, questions have been raised about track maintenance. In 2020-21, Indian Railways spent an amount of Rs 13,523 crore on track renewal, i.e. removing old tracks and laying new tracks, but this amount was much less than the Comptroller and Auditor General of India's (CAG) estimate of Rs 44,936 crore. In the 23rd report of 2022, the government auditor said that the amount allocated to the Railway Depreciation Reservation Fund (DRF) is also insufficient. In 2020-21, it yielded only Rs 671.92 crore, against a requirement of Rs 58,459 crore. Thus, as per the report of Railway CAG, the maintenance of track costs less money.

Chhattisgarh coal scam: 540 crore political cost

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) said on Monday that a special PMLA court in Raipur had taken up two prosecution complaints, alleging that the levy imposed on transportation of coal and iron pellets in Chhattisgarh was illegal. Chhattisgarh CM's Deputy Secretary Soumya Chaurasia, IAS officer Sameer Vishnoi and others are under the ED's radar in this matter. Vishnoi and Chaurasia have been arrested earlier. The ED said that an extortion of Rs 540 crore has been obtained in this type of extortion racket. It has been used for political expenses, building benami properties and bribing officials. ED has attached assets worth 220 crores in this case.

If the ED has the guts to arrest me or my wife

Rijura, wife of senior TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee, was prevented from boarding a UAE-bound flight. He said that his family is being harassed. This harassment is happening so that they cannot campaign equally in the panchayat elections to be held in West Bengal. In Singur of Hooghly district, he said that if the ED has the guts to arrest me or my wife. I will not bow my head to anyone except the people.
