“PM doesn’t say a word about caste census”, Rahul reiterates ‘caste census vow’ in MP

editor November 13, 2023

MADHYA PRADESH: Along with his 53 officers, Shivraj Singh Chouhan leads the state's government. There is only one OBC officer among those 53 officers. Can you imagine how much of the authority to make decisions he has? Precisely 0.33%. He decides what to do with 0.33% of your entire budget. Now consider that over 50% of them are in this population. He continued, "The OBC Class is being denigrated." Rahul Gandhi attacked the state government and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying, "PM Modi and CM Shivraj keep claiming that it is the government of the OBCs." They don't give that one OBC officer any tasks." The opposition members of parliament from the recently formed INDIA bloc have been calling for a nationwide caste census, arguing that it would help determine policies for various social groups based on population numbers. However, the central government, which is led by the BJP, has been asserting that the caste census will cause "division" in society. In the meantime, if elected to power in Chhattisgarh, the Bhupesh Baghel-led Congress government has promised to carry out a caste census in the state. Elections in Madhya Pradesh are scheduled for November 17 and the vote-counting day is December 3.Legislators from 230 Assembly constituencies will be chosen by voters. The Congress won the most recent state assembly elections in 2018, and seasoned leader Kamal Nath was sworn in as chief minister. However, in 2020, the state experienced a political earthquake when 22 loyalist MLAs and then-Congressman Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the saffron camp. After being reduced to a minority, the Congress government collapsed, and the BJP took power with Shivraj Singh Chouhan serving as chief minister once more. Rahul Gandhi, the Congress MP, reaffirmed his party's commitment to conducting a caste census on Monday. The Congress Member of Parliament also took aim at the Prime Minister, claiming that he makes no mention of the caste census. "I repeatedly advised Prime Minister Modi to order a nationwide caste census. However, he remains silent on the caste census. Instead, he asserts that the nation is caste-free. We pledge to carry out a caste census if we win the state's elections. Gandhi said, "Everyone needs to know about their strength in the country," during a polling campaign in Neemuch, Madhya Pradesh.

UK PM Rishi Sunak sacks Home Secretary Suella Braverman

editor November 13, 2023

NOV 13, 2023 : According to Reuters, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fired his home secretary Suella Braverman for her scathing criticism of Police in the midst of the country's ongoing pro-Palestine demonstrations. After her Times UK article criticising the Metropolitan Police for allegedly softening their stance against radical elements at pro-Palestine rallies, Sunak faced pressure to fire Braverman. In an opinion piece published ahead of a pro-Palestinian march on Saturday, the UK Home Secretary allegedly accused the police of using a "double standard" when it came to rallies, especially pro-Palestinian marches, according to Reuters. A strong candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party in the future, Braverman had repeatedly criticised the tens of thousands of protestors that have gathered in London in the wake of Hamas's attack on Israel last month.Braverman has called the rallies "mobs" and "hate marches". According to Reuters, Braverman has a history of making contentious remarks for the police or national security. Braverman sent a warning to police chiefs on October 10 for flying Palestinian flags in UK streets. According to an Anadolu Agency report, she said that raising the flag "may not be legitimate" if it is seen as endorsing terrorism. Suella Braverman went so far as to give instances of protest behaviours that she thought might be construed as breaches of public order, such as swarming Jewish neighbourhoods, brandishing signs endorsing Hamas or Palestine, and yelling potentially offensive anti-Israeli phrases.Pro-Palestinian demonstrators in their thousands have marched in London and other UK cities, demanding an end to Israel's attacks on Hamas. Notably, on October 7, after Hamas attacked Israel, the latter launched a counteroffensive against Israel. One of the biggest pro-Palestine marches in London since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict took place on November 11. Marching from Marble Arch in Hyde Park through the capital, thousands of demonstrators marched down Vauxhall Bridge Road, over the River Thames, and to the US Embassy on Nine Elms Lane. The protest was against US President Joe Biden's steadfast backing of the Israeli military's ground operation in Gaza in reaction to the October 7 Hamas attacks, which resulted in the deaths of 1,400 Israelis and the kidnapping of 200 others. According to Israel's Channel 12, there were antisemitic banners, anti-Jewish chants, and pro-Hamas slogans during the demonstration.

“Main to Baniya hun, pura hisaab lekar aaya hun”: Amit Shah targets Congress in MP

editor November 13, 2023

MADHYA PRADESH: In Madhya Pradesh, which is set to hold elections, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a vicious attack on the INDIA bloc and the Congress, claiming that the latter was unable to provide any guarantees. Speaking at a rally in Vidisha, Amit Shah declared, "The MP cannot benefit from these INDI Alliance and Congress people." Congress has currently provided five guarantees. What guarantee will people give who do not have their own guarantee, I would like to ask? In the past nine years, Modi ji has fulfilled his promises. I would like to know from Kamal Nath how much money the Sonia Gandhi-Manmohan Singh government gave to the MP over the course of the UPA's ten years in power at the Centre? They gave MP Rs 2 lakh crore from 2004 to 2014; in nine years, Modi ji increased it to Rs 6 lakh 35 thousand crore. In addition, Rs 5 lakh crore were allocated for various schemes." "I am a trader; I have brought all the accounts (Main to Baniya hun pura hisaab lekar aaya hun)," he continued. Additionally, Home Minister Amit Shah declared that more central government schemes for the state would be implemented if his party were to form the government in MP. "Poverty welfare is a topic of discussion in Congress. They only got rid of the poor; they didn't eradicate poverty. In nine years, Modi ji has accomplished a lot for the underprivileged. Just in MP, 93 lakh farmers receive Rs 6000 in their accounts annually. We will raise the price from Rs 6000 to Rs 12000 if our government forms. 65 lakh impoverished people have access to tap water in their homes. Under Ayushman Bharat, about 3 crore 70 lakh people receive free medical care up to Rs 5 lakh. The free treatment that was previously worth Rs 5 lakh will now be worth Rs 10 lakh if our government is formed, according to Amit Shah. Amit Shah praised Prime Minister Modi and noted that in just nine years, the nation's economy—which was ranked eleventh—has improved to the fifth rank. "With the Delhi Declaration, Modi ji raised the profile of Indian diplomacy internationally and gathered world leaders to this platform. By granting women a 33 percent reservation in the House, Modi ji has demonstrated his respect for women. The task of hanging the Ram temple issue was completed by Congress. Rahul Baba used to predict the location of the temple's construction but never disclosed the exact date. January 22, 2024 is the date," Amit Shah stated.
