Only some people benefitting from ‘system’, others paying GST and dying of hunger: Rahul

editor February 13, 2024Leave a comment

CHHATTISGARH: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, attacked the BJP-led Centre on Tuesday, saying that while everyone else in the nation was paying taxes and going hungry, a select few were profiting from the "system" in the nation. In Udaipur, in the Surguja district of Chhattisgarh, Gandhi addressed a gathering as part of his 'Bharata Jodo Nyay Yatra'. He claimed that if the people raise their voices against anything, the ED, CBI, and the I-T department will take action against them. He asserted that the nation's citizens were being treated unfairly around-the-clock, which was the reason for the violence and hatred that was spreading. Maybe it has been going on for so long that people aren't even aware of it.Gandhi claimed that it had turned into a habit. "You (the people) need to ask yourself three times a day how much money you are receiving from the national coffers on a daily basis. How much you are receiving in return for your day's worth of work and suffering. You will discover in ten days that a system is abandoning you, and the PM is in charge of it ", he said. "No one from the 73% population group—which includes the underprivileged from the general category, Dalits and tribal people, and the backward classes—exists in that system. Gandhi asserted, "Under that system, 100–200...1000–2000 people are benefiting while the rest of the people just watch, starve to death, and pay GST." 'Nyay' (justice) was thus added to the Bharat Jodo Yatra, he remarked. The head of Congress motioned for one of the men in the crowd to get into his car and gave an explanation of how the "system" is supposed to be hitting the people the hardest. What would be the first thing to do if this person went to a market and two or three persons decided to steal his wallet? He stated. "The first individual, the thief, will take his focus elsewhere. You are being mislead in this way. Then the second individual shows up and takes the wallet. Demonetisation and GST are equivalent (act). Finally, the third person—the thief—slaps you twice if you make any noise. Gandhi said, "If you are a small shopkeeper and you voice your disagreement, the CBI, I-T, and ED will come."

editor February 13, 2024

NEW DELHI: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha stated on Tuesday that while there are a few groups attempting to sow discord and misunderstanding regarding J&K, there is no need to take notice of, support, or associate with them, without identifying any regional political parties. Reporters were interacting with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha outside the 'J&K Sambaav' event at Prithvi Raj Road in New Delhi. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha stated, "I want to say there is no need to support and join their ranks, but there are a few elements spreading false information about J&K."He said that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's direction and leadership, Jammu and Kashmir has seen a significant transformation in the last four to five years. To showcase this transformation to the people of the country and outside, the government organised a seven-day J&K Sambaav event here today. "J&K has had a massive influx of tourists, especially foreigners, since gaining its freedom. Prior to the last two years, J&K registered 1.87 cr and 2.17 lac, respectively, in tourist traffic. Additionally, foreign visitor arrivals have increased by 2.5 percent, according to LG Sinha. In response to a question, LG Sinha stated that the goal of J&K Paharis receiving reservations was to integrate them into society so they could contribute to the development of the country."Those who remained in earlier decades made an attempt to integrate them into society at large. If we want to turn India into a Viksit Bharat, I think everyone should have a part to play," he stated. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha made an appeal to the media to help inform citizens and visitors from outside about the developments that have occurred in Jammu and Kashmir over the past four to five years.

“PM Modi’s Upcoming Public Rally in Jammu: Union Minister Announces”

editor February 13, 2024

JAMMU, Feb 13:Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Tuesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will speak at a rally in the Udhampur district of Jammu and Kashmir on February 20. The Udhampur parliamentary constituency of the Prime Minister's office's minister of state was there when the Katra-Delhi Vande Bhart Express train was stopped at the Martyr Captain Tushar Mahajan Railway station. To better serve the locals, a brief pause of the medium-distance superfast express train was implemented at the railway stations at Udhampur and Kathua."Prime Minister J.K. should come visit J-K. prior to the election code of conduct taking effect. The minister told reporters in Udhampur, "His schedule, which includes launching several projects and a public meeting, has been completed on February 20. The prime minister will open many projects during his visit, including the Shahpur-Kandi Dam project, the Devika project at Udhampur, the highest railway bridge over Chenab in the Reasi district, and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) at Vijaypur in Samba. As part of the continuing prestigious Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Railway Link (USBRL) project, the 1.3 kilometre Chenab rail bridge, which is situated 359 metres above the river bed – 35 metres higher than the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris — forms an essential link in the 111-km stretch from Katra to Banihal. The dream project to connect Kashmir with the rest of the country by train has been delayed for May in order to finish the outstanding work. Modi is also expected to launch the approximately 33-km Banihal-Samber segment, which is ready for train operations, according to the officials.The minister claimed that since the prime minister began his 2014 election campaign following his "darshan" at the Mata Vaishno Devi shrine, Jammu and Kashmir, and particularly Udhampur, have consistently been at the top of his list of priorities. Additionally, he expressed gratitude to the minister of railways for granting the public's demand that the Vande Bharat train be stopped at Udhampur and Kathua."We appreciate the railway ministry's acceptance of our request. After Kashmir is connected to the rest of the country by train in the next two to three months, Udhampur, which is home to the northern command headquarters, would become a significant hub, the minister stated. According to him, the train station has been added to the Amrit Rail station category in order to support its advancement. Similar to how the Kathua district borders Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, the minister stated that the new initiative—the halting of Vande Bharat—will promote trade and industry in addition to helping the youth, particularly the students.

The 86-year-old lawmaker was not present when the central agency in this matter last called him on January 11.Alleged financial irregularities at the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association are the subject of an ED probe. The Enforcement Directorate filed charges against the former chief minister in this case in 2022. The ED had stated that the case concerned the purported embezzlement of JKCA finances through cash withdrawals from its bank accounts that went missing and transfers to a number of unaffiliated individuals' personal bank accounts, including those of JKCA office bearers. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) charge sheet against the same accused, submitted in 2018, serves as the foundation for the agency's case.
