New Delhi: The opposition has alleged that Narendra Modi compared the opposition Front India (INDIA) with the East India Company, Popular Front of India and Indian Mujahideen during the BJP parliamentary party meeting. BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad came out of the meeting and said that Modi has said that the Indian National Congress was founded by a foreigner and now the word India is also used in the Indian Mujahideen, so the public will not be misled.

Modi said, nothing can be done with just the name of India. East India Company also planted India and India also comes in the name of Indian Mujahideen.

Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge has objected to Modi's statement. Khadge said, we are talking about Manipur and Prime Minister comparing India with East India Company is insulting.

JDS is not ready to tie up with BJP

BJP's desire to tie up with JDS to defeat Congress in Karnataka does not seem to be coming to fruition. Former Prime Minister and JDS chief H.D. Deve Gowda has announced that the JDS will contest the Lok Sabha Elections alone and will not tie up with anyone. Gowda said that even if our party wins one seat, we will fight alone.

Gowda's son Kumaraswamy had made a statement last week that the JDS would join hands with the BJP to fight the Congress government in Karnataka. Due to this, there were speculations that an alliance between BJP and JDS is ready. Now HD Deve Gowda has announced that JDS will contest the Lok Sabha elections alone.

BJP sources say that JDS is not going to fight on all the seats. He has to fight only where he can win the seats, so internally he will have alliance with BJP.

Shah Maidan to beat Baghel in Chhattisgarh

Amit Shah has entered the fray amid speculation that Chhattisgarh will be the toughest battle for the BJP in the assembly elections to be held later this year. Shah visited Chhattisgarh and held a closed-door meeting with BJP leaders to discuss the strategy to defeat the Baghel government. Shah has ordered the BJP leaders to prepare a report on the local parties that could prove helpful in defeating the Congress.

Sources in the BJP claim that the BJP has started seriously considering a tie-up with the Gondwana Republican Party, Chhattisgarh Sarv Adivasi Samaj in Chhattisgarh. The Gondwana Republic Party is heavily dominated by tribals so it can give a blow to the Congress. Arvind Netam's Adivas Samaj Paksha is also in the eyes of the BJP. Congress won the election on the strength of tribal society. Having strengthened this vote bank in five years, the BJP is focusing on them.

Ajit Pawar has expressed his displeasure against the dharna started by MLA Rohit Pawar in the Vidhan Sabha Bhavan in Maharashtra.

Rohit staged a sit-in at the complex with the demand of Industrial Development Corporation in Karajat-Jamkhed assembly constituency in Ahmednagar district.

When the Sharad Pawar group raised this issue in the Assembly, Ajit Pawar replied that it has been said in the letter written to Rohit on July 1. A meeting of the concerned people will be called on this issue. In these circumstances only publicity dharna is not appropriate.

Ajit Pawar and the Speaker expressed displeasure on the fact that Rohit staged a sit-in even though the decision was taken unanimously that no members of the Maharashtra Assembly would stage a sit-in in the complex.

Highest crime rate against Dalits in MP

Madhya Pradesh had the highest rate against Scheduled Tribes (SCs) at the end of 2021. National Crime Records Bureau statistics say this. The state also had a high rate against SC in 2020 and was second only to Rajasthan in 2019. These statistics show that incidents of atrocities against Dalits are happening frequently in Madhya Pradesh. Such frequent occurrences seem to show a pattern. Due to this, the rate of charge sheets in Madhya Pradesh is also high as compared to other states. As the police here have failed to stop this type of crime, the court has to work more proactively than the courts of other states.
