New Delhi: Trinamool Congress and Congress, the two allies of the anti-BJP Front India, have come face to face again after Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary made allegations against Mamata Banerjee.

Chaudhary has alleged that Mamata Banerjee used to spend Rs 3 lakh per day in the hotel where she was staying abroad. Even after siphoning off so many rupees from the government's coffers, not a single rupee of foreign investment has come to Bengal from Mamata's foreign travel. Mamata's family members and others went abroad on the pretext of bringing foreign investment to the state and came back having fun without doing anything. Mamata went on a 12-day trip to Spain and Dubai to bring foreign investment to Bengal.

The Trinamool Congress termed Chaudhary's words ridiculous and said that facilities including foreign academies will be opened soon in Bengal. That time Chaudhary's lies will be exposed.

A special meeting of Shah-Nadda to convince Vasundhara

In Rajasthan, the BJP has to bow down to Vasundhara Raje's tough stance. Amit Shah and JP went to discuss the issue of distribution of tickets in Rajasthan with local leaders. Nadda had a 15-minute discussion with Vasundhara before the core committee meeting. BJP sources claim that during this debate, Vasundhara was assured that none of his supporters' tickets would be cut.

During Narendra Modi's public meeting in Rajasthan, there were speculations that Vasundhara Raje had been left behind by the BJP as she was not given a chance to speak. On the other hand, Vasundhara also dissociated herself from BJP programs. As the supporters of Vasundhara also started to show harshness, finally the high command had to give importance to Vasundhara.

The BJP leader admits that the high command does not want Vasundhara but cannot let him go without saving him. If Vasundhara deteriorates, BJP can be defeated.

Rape of a girl in MP angers BJP

The incident of rape of a 12-year-old girl in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh has created a stir. This incident, which happened when the Assembly elections are only months away, has left the BJP worried. Congress leaders have broken out with all their strength to take advantage of this issue in the elections. The Congress has quipped that the Madhya Pradesh police are deployed in the service of dignitaries coming from Delhi for election campaign and they have no time to protect their daughters.

The girl, who was raped in Mahakal police station area, wandered for two and a half hours in the colonies of Sanwarkhedi Sinhasth Bypass in Ujjain but no one helped her.

BJP has also announced that they will try to hang the accused of this incident so that this incident does not affect the elections. BJP state president VD Sharma said that the rapists will not be spared and should be given capital punishment.

The Congress made a rule of its own making

Dissatisfaction has flared up in the Congress after the Congress announced to give two tickets to the family of Meenampalli Hanumantrao, who left Chief Minister KCR's party BRS in Telangana. It is the Congressmen who are protesting against the fact that the Congress has abandoned the policy of one family, one ticket for Hanuman Rao. KCR's party has not given ticket to Rohitrao, son of Hanumantrao, and Rao BRS has been left in a tizzy.

Telangana Pradesh Congress President Revanth Reddy defended Loolo and said that the Congress has not abandoned the one-family, one-ticket policy adopted in the AICC convention of Udaipur, but as it was promised to the Myanampalli family, their family will be exceptional. Reddy has also claimed that KCR's party will not win even 25 seats.

Congress leaders say that by giving too much importance to Rao's family, who lost in the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress is creating false discontent among the workers.

Cauvery issue is getting bigger, Congress is worried

Protests have started in Karnataka against the Supreme Court's order to release Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu. The Congress government is furious as the BJP jumps to take political advantage of these protests. Protesters have also announced a Karnataka bandh on Friday. There are also rumors that violence broke out during the announcements made by Kannada organizations under the leadership of KCVP leader Nagaraj. The protesting organizations say that if Cauvery water is given to Tamil Nadu, there will be no water for agriculture and milch cattle in Karnataka.

According to the Congress, the state government appealed to the Supreme Court against the decision of the tribunal, but its hands are tied as the Supreme Court rejected the appeal. The government cannot disrespect the Supreme Court because the dignity of the judiciary is in question. Congress has also instructed its leaders not to make any statement on this issue.

Week ultimatum to Biren to stop violence

The renewed violence in Manipur has taken a serious form. After pictures of the bodies of two students missing since July went viral, angry people have taken to the streets. The government has extended AFSP for six months and deployed military forces, but violent clashes between protesters and security forces have continued in several places, including Imphal. BJP sources say that the high command has given Chief Minister Birensingh an ultimatum to control the violence within a week.

The violence saw protesters blow up the BJP office in Thoubal district while attacking the BJP president's house in Imphal. The police had to fire tear gas shells and fire pellet guns to disperse the crowd. However, the police are also helpless against mobs.

The government is worried about renewed violence as student unions have led the protests. Student organizations allege that the government is repressing the opposition.

Inflationary measures hit farmers

In a paper prepared under the leadership of Ashok Gagulati, a group of economists from New Delhi-based think-tank Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) said that the measures taken to curb inflation, including banning grain exports, have hit farmers' income by Rs 45,000 crore this year. The rise in inflation over the past one year has been largely attributed to low crop yields following inclement weather. If compared to a year ago, retail inflation rose by 6.83 percent in August. However, 6.83 exceeded the Reserve Bank of India's target of 4 percent (+2 or -2). The government responded by imposing a series of restrictions on food trade to increase supplies. However, due to this, the income of the farmers has been hit, says Gulati's paper.

Dengue in West Bengal, Chief Minister abroad

West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee president Adhirranjan Chaudhary on Wednesday took a swipe at the state Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and said that the Chief Minister is visiting Spain when dengue cases are increasing in the state.

Notably, Congress and Trinamool Congress are members of the newly formed opposition front 'India'.

Election-duty in Bidhurine Pilot constituency

BJP-MP Ramesh Bidhuri, who has been issued a show-cause notice for defaming Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Muslim MP Danish Ali in the Lok Sabha, has been assigned election duty in Rajasthan's Tonk. Tonk is the assembly constituency of Congress leader Sachin Pilot. The opposition termed this duty as an award for Bidhuri. Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra raised the question that how can the BJP hand over a new job to a person who has been given a show cause notice? Narendra Modi ji is this your sneha yatra for minorities? On the other side, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also said in a post on Axx that sabkka saath sabka vikas, sabka vishwa, yeh sab hai inika bakwas.

Only 6 women MPs in Haryana in 57 years

According to Richa Tanwar, Professor of Women's Studies at Haryana's Kurukshetra University, out of the 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana, voters in Karnal, Sonipat, Rohtak, Hisarar, Gurgaon and Faridabad said that women MPs did not win the Lok Sabha. In Sonipat, Rohtak and Hisar, which are considered Jat parts of the state, internal disputes between citizens are decided by khap panchayats. Richa Tanwar said that the facts of Haryana are not at all surprising as paternalism is practiced in the state. Richa Tanwar, in her book chapter entitled Women in State Politics in India Missing in the Corridor of Power, writes that the low participation of women in politics in Haryana is due to their lack of information and lack of awareness about elections and the electoral process.

Telangana-strategy of BJP: Election-ticket to women

According to the data recorded when Telangana was formed in 2014, 43 percent of the state's four crore population are women. OBCs (Other Backward Classes-Other Backward Groups) constitute 54 percent of the total population, which is the maximum among other castes. The position of the state's political pendulum rests on the attitude of the OBCs. On October 4, BJP President J.P. After the meeting with Nadda, the names of the BJP candidates for the upcoming Telangana assembly elections will be decided. Of course, 30 percent tickets will be allotted to women and more than 35 percent tickets will be allotted to OBCs. The list of candidates will be announced after the Election Commission announces the date of the polling day, said BJP-spokesperson of the state N.V. Subhash said.
