People Have Endorsed PM Modi’s Leadership, Rejected Congress’ False Promises: BJP

editor December 3, 2023

New Delhi, Dec 3: Following trends that gave the BJP an advantage in three states' assembly elections, the party announced on Sunday that voters had rejected the false promises made by the Congress and embraced Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. According to polls, people believe Prime Minister Modi's "guarantee of delivering on guarantees," according to Union minister and Rajasthan election chief for the BJP Pralhad Joshi. In opposition to the Congress' platform of welfare assurances, the BJP has been promoting "Modi's guarantee." Joshi stated that the selection of the new chief minister of Rajasthan will take place "very soon and smoothly."Arjun Ram Meghwal, a Union minister and BJP politician from Rajasthan, claimed that Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's "magic" had failed in the arid state. Regarding the vote results in Telangana, where the Congress was expected to win, Joshi stated that the BJP has to expand further in the state because the party benefited from the anti-incumbency campaign against the BRS. Joshi, the Union cabinet's portfolio holder for Parliamentary Affairs, warned that the opposition would suffer worse outcomes than what has happened so far if it interferes with Parliament's next Winter session, which begins on Monday.

BJP forges ahead in MP and Rajasthan, has edge in Chhattisgarh; Cong leads in Telangana

editor December 3, 2023

NEW DELHI: As the ballots were tallied on Sunday for the assembly elections that set up the contest for the 2024 Lok Sabha, the Election Commission reported that the Congress was leading in Telangana and the BJP led in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh. The four states' elections have primarily been a bipolar struggle between the BRS and the Congress in southern Telangana and between the BJP and the Congress in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh. In Madhya Pradesh, where there are 230 members in the legislature, the BJP appears to be headed for a fifth consecutive term in office with leads in 143 seats and the Congress faring worse with 59.In Rajasthan, where the ruling Congress has always received alternating votes for the two parties, the BJP was also far ahead. The Congress led in 72 seats, while the saffron party led in 101, more than halfway. Due to a candidate's death, polling in one seat was postponed, and voting took place in 199 seats. In Chhattisgarh, which is dominated by the Congress, trends indicated a close race with the party leading in 28 seats and the BJP leading in 34. Seeking political rebirth, the Congress might unseat the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), led by K Chandrashekhar Rao, which was targeting a hat-trick victory in Telangana. In the ninety-member house, the BRS held leads in 29 seats while the Congress held 51 seats. At 8 am, the four states saw intense security and great anticipation as the counting got underway. Mizoram, the fifth state to have elections, will have its votes counted on Monday. Election officials announced that a three-tier security system has been implemented and that only those with proper passes will be permitted entry into the counting centres.

In addition to reviving the services devoted to the welfare of these families, he gave the officers instructions to pool their "hearts and souls" in order to identify any issues or problems that the families of the fallen policemen may be facing and submit them to police headquarters within a certain amount of time. "The families of the deceased heroes are members of the J&K Police pariwar, or family, and it is our responsibility to look after them in every way. Seeing how these families are doing has to be our top priority, according to Swain.He gave the ADGP instructions to dispatch sympathetic personnel to engage with the families. In order to foster an emotional connection between the families and the police, he also advised that each officer adopt a family. This will enable the officers to care for the wards of the fallen policeman in an understanding manner. "It is not the help and assistance that matters but connecting with these families including the parents of the fallen heroes is more important," he stated. He gave the officers instructions to make a personal connection with every member of the martyr families and to give them the same amount of time as "we spend with our own family members."He stated, "such families should be assured that the institutional strength of J&K Police is with them." The officers must also discover some inspirational stories of the departed heroes to share with the family members. According to a police spokesman, talks were place over a scheme that would see DSPs and inspectors paying visits to martyrs' families to inquire about their well-being. "This will supplement the assistance that these families now receive.

Crime branch chargesheets 3 brothers for ₹43-lac land fraud in Jammu

editor December 3, 2023

JAMMU: Three brothers are accused in a ₹43 lakh land scam in a 253-page chargesheet released by the Crime Branch's economic crimes unit on Saturday. According to an official spokesperson, they were accused of forming a criminal conspiracy and robbing a guy from Gandhi Nagar of ₹43 lakh. A case under sections 420 (cheating) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code was filed against them at the Crime Branch police station in Jammu. Manmohan Singh, the complainant, was tricked into signing a contract to sell the accused's 51 marlas in Birpur, the Bari Brahmana neighbourhood of Samba.Following the transaction, the complainant's special power of attorney was revoked by Birpur village residents Narayan Singh, Suram Singh, and Chain Singh. The plaintiff had been duped by the siblings into believing that the government would receive a substantial payment for the land it was acquiring. The complainant was persuaded to pay each of the accused ₹17 lakh by the accused. All defendants executed a selling agreement and a special power of attorney in December 2021. The accused then went to the Jammu collector of land acquisition and informed him that the complainant's special power of attorney had been revoked and that the accused would get the money into their accounts from the collector.

No dilution in reservation of Gujjars, Bakerwals in J&K: BJP

editor December 3, 2023

JAMMU: In an effort to allay concerns, the BJP has reaffirmed its commitment to the ST community's reservations and stated unequivocally that the Gujjar community's reservations in Jammu and Kashmir will not be diminished. At a news conference held here on Saturday, Gulam Ali Khatana, a senior BJP leader and MP for the Rajya Sabha, made this declaration.Speaking to media representatives, Khatana was accompanied by former Deputy Chief Minister Dr Nirmal Singh, former MP Choudhary Talib Hussain, BJP general secretary Sunil Sharma, BJP senior leader Devinder Singh Rana, president of the ST Morcha Ch. Roshan Hussain, and senior ST leader Arshad Choudhary. They stated that Union Home Minister Amit Shah had promised a tribal community delegation that the 10% reservation they had been granted would not be reduced under any circumstances. According to Khatana, the J&K BJP is also in support of the Modi government's promise. The MP claimed that the ST community in Jammu and Kashmir endured decades of suffering under the leadership of the PDP, the NC, and the Congress, and that the Narendra Modi government was the only one to bring them justice.This government made a historic choice by granting this section reservation in order to improve its socioeconomic status. He recalled that in 2013, during the Lalkar rally in Jammu, Narendra Modi had made a public declaration that, upon assuming power, his government will provide justice to the marginalised and discriminated-against groups, with particular attention to the Scheduled Tribes. According to Khatana, several groups are attempting to deceive the STs into believing they won't profit from reservations, which is completely untrue and unfounded. He stated that there is no chance of the reservation being diluted and that the BJP will continue to look out for the interests of the Scheduled Tribes. As the STs are switching their allegiance to the BJP after realising that it is the only political party that genuinely cares about their right to a dignified life, he urged them to trust the BJP and not fall for the false propaganda spread by such political parties. These parties had been taking this community for granted and were now feeling insecure. Ch. Talib Hussain reaffirmed that the BJP will keep working for the advancement and well-being of all racial and ethnic groups in Jammu and Kashmir, with a special emphasis on tribal people and other marginalised ethnic groups. He urged the Paharis and Gujjars of Jammu and Kashmir to fortify their long-standing solidarity, togetherness, and peaceful coexistence.
