New Delhi: Before the Lok Sabha elections, BJP has started a campaign to get Muslim votes. As part of this, BJP has started efforts to attract Sufi saints. With Uttar Pradesh being one of the most important states for the BJP, the BJP has adopted an aggressive strategy to woo Muslims in UP. As part of this, the Sufi Dialogue Mahabhiyan was recently organized in Lucknow. More than 200 Sufis were present in this program. Those who were present were not only from UP but from around 100 top dargahs across the country.

There are more than 1000 Sufi dargahs in UP alone. All classes of people visit these dargahs but mostly Muslims. As they are affiliated with other political parties including Congress which are affiliated to other Muslim places of worship, BJP cannot campaign there but BJP has targeted them as they can easily campaign at dargahs.

Congress 'answer, account' against AAP-BJP

In Delhi, the Congress has started its Lok Sabha election campaign with 'Jawab Do, Hisab Do', targeting both the BJP government at the Center and the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi. Due to this campaign of Delhi Congress, questions have been raised about the anti-BJP front.

BJP won seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The Congress has demanded an account and answer from the seven Lok Sabha members of the BJP on what they have done in five years.

Congress has started this campaign in rural areas and not Delhi city. Inaugurating the program in Bawana, Delhi Congress president Arvinder Sihan Lovely alleged that the BJP government at the center and the Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi have made the people of 365 villages of Delhi desperate on their own land by imposing house tax. Congress has also raised the issue that facilities provided to rural areas have been stopped.

Dube's allegation against Mahua is without evidence

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey is under fire for accusing Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra of taking money from businessman Darshan Hiranandani and asking questions in the Lok Sabha. There is criticism that Dubey is doing all this to please a corporate group without any concrete evidence. Dubey alleged that Moitra recently asked 50 to 60 questions about Adani Group.

Dubey has also requested Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to form an inquiry committee and conduct an inquiry. According to Dubey, there is irrefutable evidence in a letter sent to him by an advocate.

According to analysts, since it is serious to make allegations against an MP on the basis of an advocate's letter, the Speaker really needs to investigate Dubey. All the opposition MPs should be investigated as they are asking questions about the Adani group.

Chowdhury got trapped by firing a bullet without a helmet

In the Lok Sabha, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary has been embroiled in a controversy for doing a bullet-firing stunt without wearing a helmet. Chowdhury is more confused when it comes to clarifying this issue. Against the allegations that Chaudhary violated road safety rules and behaved irresponsibly, Chaudhary claimed that there was no one around when he took the bullet.

It can be seen in this video that around fifty other bikers are around Chaudhary. Many of them are making videos. The person sitting behind Chowdhury is also recording the video. During the bike ride, Chowdhury also does a stunt of riding the bike with bare hands, letting go of the steering wheel. Chaudhary performed this stunt at the inauguration of a bypass road in Chaudhary's Lok Sabha constituency Behrampur.

As the controversy over this has increased, Chaudhary has announced that he is ready to pay the fine if the police fines him.

A letter saying that Digvijay Singh has resigned from the Congress after Congress announced the names of 144 candidates for the assembly elections went viral. In this letter, it was claimed that since the conscientious workers of the Congress were neglected, he resigned from the Congress.

Gehlot was overwhelmed by the issue of Kesarisingh

In Rajasthan, the Ashok Gehlot government has been trapped by appointing Colonel Kesari Singh to the Rajasthan Public Service Commission. People of Jats, Gurjars and other communities have started violent protests raising the issue of controversial statements made by Kesari Singh in the past. All these societies are demanding the removal of Kesarisingh. Opponents of Gehlot are posting that Gehlot has dug the grave of Congress by appointing Kesari Singh.

His comments about other castes in a Rajput Samaj meeting have angered people.

Trinamool MP takes money to raise questions in Parliament: BJP

BJP Lok Sabha MP Nishikant Dubey has accused Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra of taking cash and gifts from a businessman named Darshan Hiranandani for asking questions in Parliament. In a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Dubey has demanded an inquiry against Moitra and demanded his immediate suspension from the House. In response, Moitra lashed out at Dubey on X saying that several cases of breach of privilege are pending against fake degree holders and other prominent BJP talents. After completing the action against all these, the Speaker can take any action against me. Moitra also took a swipe at Gautam Adani, the country's second-ranked tycoon, adding that he himself is waiting for Adani to register a prima facie case in the coal scam before the ED and other agencies come to investigate. It is welcome that after CBI completes its investigation into Adani offshore money trail, over invoicing and benami accounts, it also investigates the money laundering committed by him (Moitra). Adani may have misused BJP-agencies to win the competition and buy the airports, but it will be done with me, said Moitra.
