Beniwal removed due to political vendetta: Cong

August 7, 2014

Jaipur, Aug 7: Condemning the sacking of Mizoram Governor Kamla Beniwal, Rajasthan Congress today said her removal is "unconstitutional" and has been done due to "political vendetta".

In a statement issued here, Rajasthan PCC president Sachin Pilot said Beniwal has a special image in Indian politics as a former Cabinet minister and Deputy Chief Minister with the previous Congress government in the state.

Her (Beniwal) credentials paved the way for her Governorship of Gujarat during the UPA government, Pilot said.

It was she who had filled the post of Lokpal in Gujarat, he said, adding that her political and public life has always been unblemished.

"Due to political vendetta and baseless allegations, she was removed from her post of Mizoram Governor," he said, adding that her term would have been over after a few more months.

"Her removal is unconstitutional. It is also a violation of the Supreme Court's direction and it is illegal too," Pilot said, adding that it will encourage enmity in Indian politics.

Beniwal, who had a running battle with Narendra Modi when he was the Gujarat Chief Minister, was sacked last night as Governor of Mizoram just two months before her tenure comes to an end.

Give up lying as New Year resolution: Delhi BJP chief writes to Kejriwal

News Network

January 1,2025

New Delhi: In a jibe at AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva urged him to give up what he said were the former CM's "deceitful and dishonest" political practices as a new year resolve.

The dig at Kejriwal comes in response to his letter to RSS head Mohan Bhagwat in which he has accused the BJP of "openly" distributing money and trying to get Puravanchali and Dalit voters deleted from Delhi's electoral rolls ahead of the assembly polls.

Sachdeva extended Kejriwal new year greetings in his letter and said since childhood we all make resolutions on New Year's day to give up bad habits and start something good and new.

The Delhi BJP president said he hoped that, on the first day of 2025, Kejriwal would strive to bring meaningful change by abandoning "dishonest and deceitful political practices".

As part of his New Year's resolution, Kejriwal should resolve to "never to swear in the name of his children", and "apologise for promoting liquor" and "making false assurances" of cleaning Yamuna, Sachdeva said.

He also said he hoped the AAP chief would stop "playing with the sentiments" of Delhi's women, elders, and religious communities by making "false promises" and will not "associate with or accept donations" from "anti-national forces" for political gains.

"May God give you the strength to walk on the path of righteousness," Sachdeva said concluding the letter.
