New Delhi: Samajwadi Party posters have been put up in Patna as the top Opposition parties are Meeting to form an anti-BJP front in Patna on Friday. Interestingly, the hoardings of the Samajwadi Party have a picture of Lord Shri Ram and the inscription of Ramcharit Manas is also written on it. It is also claimed that unemployment, hooliganism and inflation have been increased by the BJP by giving the slogan of BJP-free India in the hoardings. The hoardings also featured pictures of Akhilesh Yadav with Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav.
It is clear from SP hoardings that Akhilesh is playing Hindutva card against BJP. Akhilesh is openly taking the help of Lord Rama and Ramacharitmanas. JDU and RJD have also adopted the same strategy and named the seat as Raghuvarpuram. Aam Aadmi Party hoardings have also been put up in Patna, but in them Arvind Kejriwal has been called the son of the country.
ED raids on men near Uddhav
In Maharashtra, there is political heat again in the wake of ED raids on Manata people near Uddhav Thackeray. The ED has raided Shiv Sena (Uddhav) secretary Suraj Chavan, IAS officer Sanjeev Jaiswal and Sanjay Raut's business partner Sujit Patkar in Mumbai Corporation's Covid center scam case. ED claims that this scam is worth Rs 12,500 crore.
A number of Kovid centers were built in Maharashtra during the Corona period. The BJP alleged that the contracts for the Covid centers were given to people close to Uddhav Thackeray and his son Aditya Thackeray. At that time, BJP was in the opposition and Devendra Fadnavis alleged that there was a scam of 12,500 crores in the name of Covid center in BMC.
The Shiv Sena says that everyone praised the performance of the Uddhav Thackeray government during the Covid period. This has not been tolerated by the BJP, so they want to deceive by making false cases.
Kejriwal insisted, discuss the ordinance first
Ahead of the opposition unity meeting to be held in Patna on Friday, Arvind Kejriwal has written to all parties insisting that the Centre's ordinance be discussed first in the meeting. Kejriwal claims that, through this ordinance, the Modi government has indirectly threatened the governments of non-BJP-ruled states. The Delhi Ordinance is an experiment. If this experiment is successful, the central government will take away the power of the state governments by bringing a similar ordinance for non-BJP states. The central government can completely take away any state's rights related to electricity, education, trade.
Constitutional experts believe that there is truth in Kejriwal's words. BJP does not have absolute majority in Rajya Sabha so BJP does not dare to harass opposition governments directly but has to harass indirectly. Even after the Supreme Court verdict, the Modi government is showing the mentality of disobeying the constitution by bringing ordinances.

Ajith himself has also said that he wants to work in the party organization.
In the presence of Sharad Pawar, Ajit said that he did not demand the post of opposition leader from the front but accepted this position on the insistence of party MLAs. Now I want to leave the post of Leader of Opposition and work in the organization. I guarantee, will give the best results and I will accept whatever position you give.
NCP sources believe that Ajith has indirectly expressed his desire to be given executive post along with Sule and Patel. Sharad Pawar cannot accept this demand so conflict is certain.

In MP, BJP started working to woo the Yadavs
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has played the Yadav card to win the assembly elections to be held later this year in Madhya Pradesh and has announced that places associated with Lord Krishna will be developed in the state. Chauhan claimed that we have left no stone unturned in the development of Sandipani Ashram located in Ujjain. Lord Krishna got his education in this ashram. Now we will gradually develop other places associated with Lord Krishna in the state.
Congress has already announced to develop religious places associated with Hindu deities so Chauhan has to make this announcement. Recently, Baijanath Singh Yadav, a Jyotiraditya loyalist, joined the Congress. Earlier, another BJP leader Yadvendra Singh Yadav joined the Congress in March.
The proportion of Yadav community in the population of Madhya Pradesh is 14 percent. Fearing that the departure of these two leaders will be a blow, the BJP has started indulging the Yadavs.

All-party meeting on Manipur too big: Congress
Home Minister Amit Shah has held an all-party meeting in Delhi on June 24 regarding the worsening condition of Manipur, which the Congress has called very late. Senior Congress leader K.C. Venugopal said on Thursday that the Center has woken up after Sonia Gandhi addressed the Manipuri people. The Prime Minister's absence from the June 24 meeting shows his cowardice and unwillingness to face his own failures. He has no time for delegations who want to meet him on this issue. The Home Minister himself has taken stock of the situation by visiting Manipur and has taken steps but there is no improvement in the situation. In fact, the situation has worsened after his visit, added Congress leader Venugopal.
Some countries want to divide and rule: Bhagwat
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat said at a book launch event in Nagpur on Tuesday that some countries want to repeat the policy of divide and rule, but they cannot defeat an organized India. The British systematically adopted the above policy after the rebellion of 1857. After that, the foreign rulers tried to divide Hindus and Muslims during the partition of Bengal, but they failed miserably because the countrymen organized and fought against the whites, Bhagwat said, referring to the partition of Bengal in 1905.
Akali Dal's warning to the Chief Minister of Punjab
Shiromani Akali Dal leader Dr. Daljit Singh Cheema said that the reaction of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's hostile attitude towards the Governor, who is the constitutional head of the state, will be dangerous for the state and its people. Cheema told reporters in Chandigarh that instead of safeguarding the interests of Punjabis and solving their problems, the Chief Minister is engaging in a long-running confrontation with Governor Banwarilal Purohit. In doing so, they diminish the dignity of their Mobhadar position. Referring to the press conference held by the Governor, Cheema said that it is clear from what Purohit spoke in this press conference that the screening committee formed by the Aam Aadmi Party to screen the candidates for the post of Vice Chancellor of Punjab Technical University was not as per the norms of UGC (University Grants Commission).
The seat-sharing formula will be suggested in the Patna meeting

Both the seats won by that party and the votes it got will be emphasized in both these elections. The above formula will form part of the outline for discussions between the top leaders of various opposition parties.
Kejriwal's letter to opposition for June 23 meeting
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has sent a letter to the opposition to discuss the recent controversial ordinance of the Center in the opposition meeting being held in Patna tomorrow on June 23. It is a good thing that if this ordinance is implemented, the judgment given by the Supreme Court on the issue of control of services in Delhi will become irrelevant. Such an ordinance can be passed for other states. Kejriwal has also insisted in the letter that the political parties clarify their stand on this issue. The AAP leader has also warned the opposition not to treat this issue as a Delhi issue only.
