RAJASTHAN: On Saturday, the Congress party came under heavy fire from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who accused it of "terrorism" and "atrocities" against women. "Where there is Congress government, terrorism, atrocities, all these things, are unbridled there," Prime Minister Modi said, criticising the establishment party for the alleged atrocities against women in the state. Appeasement is paramount to Congress, and they will stop at nothing to achieve it." PM Modi made the comments while speaking at a polling place in Bharatpur, Rajasthan. "Congress has broken the trust of the women in the state," Prime Minister Modi said, criticising Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on the matter of women's safety in the state.Can the state's chief medical officer protect the women in his care, given that he claims that women file false reports of rape? A party with such misogyny ought to be punished." "Ministers in Congress have a demeaning attitude towards the state's women... They claim that because Rajasthan is a land of men, rape is occurring there, PM Modi stated. The prime minister declared that the BJP is committed to enhancing law and order in the state of Rajasthan and had produced a robust manifesto. "The goal of the BJP is to elevate Rajasthan to the top state in the nation. In order to provide a secure atmosphere for our sisters and daughters, the BJP is determined to combat corruption in Rajasthan, the prime minister stated. He also reaffirmed his commitment to keeping the promises made by the BJP's Rajasthan branch. "We'll try our hardest to keep the promises that the Rajasthan BJP made. Modi also guarantees that you will receive these promises that he made to you. Asserting Congress's obligation to safeguard every citizen's life and property, the prime minister reminded lawmakers of their duty. However, crimes and atrocities against women, Dalits, tribal people, and the underprivileged have increased during the past five years. The prime minister attacked the government for the state's lack of law and order, claiming that no festival is observed here in a calm manner. "No holiday can be observed in peace here, not even Hanuman Jayanti, Ramnavmi, or Holi.Curfews, stone-throwing, and rioting all persisted in Rajasthan, according to PM Modi. In Rajasthan, the election is scheduled for November 25. The polls in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh ended on Friday. November 7 was the first day of the Chhattisgarh and Mizoram election phases. Telangana will hold its election on November 30. December 3 is the day that all state assembly elections will have their votes counted.

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal stated here on Friday that the Aam Aadmi Party is the "fastest growing party in the world" and that it will "rule the country, leaving behind the BJP and Congress." The AAP convenor went on to say that the party "should be featured in the Guinness Book of World Records." "All the workers and office-bearers (of AAP) who have come here, I want to congratulate you on being part of the fastest growing party in the world," he said, addressing the AAP's "Karyakarta Sammelan." No party has ever advanced so quickly in the history of the entire globe. I believe we ought to request a feature in the Guinness Book of World Records."Within a year of the AAP's formation ten years ago, he claimed, the party formed its government in Delhi with a resounding majority and went on to win in the neighbouring state of Punjab last year. Then, with 14% of the vote, we won 5 seats in Gujarat. "I have no doubt that the Aam Aadmi Party will form the next Gujarati government," Kejriwal declared. We now hold the status of a national party as well. Among the 1350 political parties that are officially registered, we rank third nationwide. In his speech to party employees, Kejriwal stated, "And at the pace we are growing, my heart says that one day the Aam Aadmi Party will rule the country, leaving behind BJP and Congress." Attacking the BJP for actions taken by the central agencies against his party and associates, the national convenor of the AAP asserted that "PM Modi wants to form government in Delhi." "It is only natural that there would be large-scale conspiracies against AAP given its rapid growth. The BJP and PM Modi realised they would not be able to defeat the AAP in Delhi. Therefore, the BJP created a conspiracy—a liquor policy hoax. Many people have died in Gujarat as a result of an actual alcohol scam, he claimed. The chief minister of Delhi, who has eschewed an ED summons in relation to the excise policy scandal, claimed that senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh had been arrested in a "fake case." They intend to arrest me in order to overthrow the AAP government and PM Modi's desire to form a government in Delhi. They know they cannot defeat us through elections. Our leaders Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, Satyender Jain, and Vijay Nair were arrested in a fabricated case, and now they are going to arrest me as well. "I want to let them know that the AAP will triumph from prison, even if they throw me in," Kejriwal continued. On October 4, AAP MP Sanjay Singh was taken into custody following a full day of interrogation at his Delhi home by ED officials. Manish Sisodia, a former deputy chief minister of Delhi, is allegedly also embroiled in the same liquor policy scandal. He is presently being held in connection with the same at the jail. The CBI initially detained the former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Excise Minister on February 26 due to his suspected involvement in the scam. Earlier this month, Kejriwal disregarded the summons from the Enforcement Directorate in favour of attending a roadshow in Madhya Pradesh, the state where today's assembly elections were taking place. The Chief Minister of Delhi had demanded that the ED revoke its "vague and motivated" notice, which had been sent to him for questioning, on the grounds that it was "illegal and politically motivated."
