Congress will be wiped out in 2012 polls: Narendra Modi

June 10, 2012

Rajkot, June 10: Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the UPA govt and said that the Congress will be wiped out in the 2012 assembly elections. Modi said he was optimistic about winning the assembly elections due in the state.

Addressing the state executive meeting, Narendra Modi also hinted at change at the Centre and said the people of the country were fed up with the UPA govt.

Taking a dig at the UPA, Gujarat chief minister said the Manmohan Singh govt had not realised that their boat was sinking.

Targeting the Congress over corruption, Modi said the compulsions of coalition politics was preventing the party from acting against corruption.

He said the rupee had been devalued not due to the weakness in the economy but due to UPA's corruption.

There were reports of anti-modi protests outside the meeting venue. According to Times Now, police arrested pro-Sanjay Joshi protesters who were shouting slogans against the chief minister.

Meanwhile, the poster war within the BJP continued on Sunday with more pro-Sanjay Joshi posters and others apparently targeting Narendra Modi appearing in various parts of Rajkot city.

Reflecting a deep divide within the BJP on Sanjay Joshi's exit from the party, this is the third time after Joshi's unceremonious exit from the BJP's National Executive that posters have appeared in Gujarat in support of Joshi.

The posters that came up on Sunday near the venue of state BJP executive meeting venue at Atmiya college campus here said "Sanjay Joshi aage badho, hum tumhare saath hai" (Sanjay Joshi go ahead, we are with you).

Few posters targeting Modi also appeared in the city which read "Follow Raj dharma, and party dharma".

Though Modi's name was not mentioned on the posters, they were apparently targeted at the chief minister, as former Prime Minister A B Vajpayee had advised him to follow 'Raj dharma' after the 2002 riots.

Earlier, posters supporting Joshi and targeting Modi appeared in Ahmedabad a couple of times.

Baffled over the source of the posters, the BJP started an inquiry, but has not able to find out culprit so far.

Joshi, who was first removed from the BJP national executive meet, had quit the party last Friday.

He had reportedly told that he had quit the party due to "pressure being exerted on party leadership by Modi".

Manipur CM is mastermind behind violence; Centre lied in Supreme Court: Kuki MLAs

News Network

November 11,2024

The Manipur Kuki MLAs have released a statement calling out Solicitor General Tushar Mehta's 'lies' in the Supreme Court. In a joint statement, the MLAs, including those from the Bharatiya Janata Party, said they had not had any meeting with the Chief Minister since May 3, 2023, nor did they intend to meet him in the future as “he was the mastermind behind the violence”.

As per the MLAs, the SG lied about state CM N Biren Singh speaking to Kuki MLAs to control the situation there, in order to halt a Supreme Court probe into the leaked tapes which allege that Singh has been complicit in the violence that broke out between Kukis and Meitis there.

"We...clarify that we have never had any meeting with Chief Minister, Shri N. Biren Singh since May 3, 2023, nor have any intention to meet him in future as he is the mastermind behind the violence and ethnic cleansing of our people from the Imphal valley, which is continuing till today, the latest being the brutal killing and burning of Mrs Zosangkim Hmar on November 7, 2024," the letter read, while condemning the recent 'barbaric' killing of the woman there, and noting the SG's assertion is 'tantamount' to misleading the top court.

“We, the undersigned ten MLAs, have come to know that during the Supreme Court hearing held on November 8, 2024, the Solicitor General of India submitted that ‘CM is meeting all Kuki MLAs and trying to bring the situation down to get peace’. In this connection, we hereby categorically state that this submission is a blatant lie and tantamount to misleading the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India,” the statement said.

The Supreme Court, while hearing a petition by a Kuki organisation, asked that it submit audio tapes to substantiate its claim that the Chief Minister was instrumental in inciting and organising violence in the northeastern State.

Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta orally informed the court that the Chief Minister was meeting all the Kuki-Zo MLAs and that peace in the State had come at a huge cost.

You all can protest as much as you want, but Modi will surely amend Waqf Act: Amit Shah

News Network

November 15,2024

Union minister Amit Shah on Friday, November 15, said PM Narendra Modi will amend the Waqf Act despite opposition from leaders like Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar.

"Modi ji wants to change the Waqf Board law, but Uddhav ji, Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule are opposing it," Shah said, addressing a rally at Umarkhed in Maharashtra's Yavatmal district.

"Uddhav ji, listen carefully, you all can protest as much as you want, but Modi ji will amend the Waqf Act," he said. Shah said there are two camps in the November 20 Maharashtra assembly polls, one of 'Pandavas' represented by the BJP-led Mahayuti and the other of 'Kauravas' represented by Maha Vikas Aghadi.

"Uddhav Thackeray claims that his Shiv Sena is the real one. Can the real Shiv Sena go against renaming Aurangabad to Sambhajinagar? Can the real Shiv Sena go against renaming Ahmednagar to Ahilyanagar? The real Shiv Sena stands with the BJP," Shah said.

"Rahul Baba used to say that his government would credit money in the accounts of the people instantly. You were unable to fulfil your promises in Himachal, Karnataka, and Telangana," he said.

Shah said the Mahayuti alliance has promised that women will get Rs 2,100 per month under the Ladki Bahin Yojana. "Kashmir is an integral part of India and no power in the world can snatch it away from us," Shah said.
