Young India fed up with Modi govt’s betrayal: Congress

NEW DELHI: The Modi administration and the BJP, according to the Congress, are shattering the hopes and dreams of the younger generation in India. "Young India is fed up with Modi Government's rank betrayal," said Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, citing a recent Telangana incident in which a young woman climbed an electricity pole and attempted to deliver something to Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a rally. When Prime Minister Modi saw the young woman climbing a structure with lights fixed on it, he had to stop talking during the rally last week.He kept asking the girl to come down, saying that the state of the electric wires didn't seem to be good. "Beta, I will listen to you," Modi said in Hindi as she was attempting to explain something to him. Kindly descend and take a seat. It could blow a short. This isn't accurate. I came to get you all. Doing such things is pointless." Kharge accused young Indians of wanting jobs in a post on X, but in exchange they received a 45-year-high unemployment rate. "They wanted economic empowerment, but in return the BJP gave a backbreaking Price Rise, which has reduced their savings to a 47-year low," he stated.

“Countdown to exit of Congress from Chhattisgarh has begun”: PM Modi

CHHATTISGARH: Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared on Monday that the Congress government's demise in Chhattisgarh is "confirmed" following the first round of elections, thereby initiating the countdown to its departure. Speaking at an election rally in Mungeli, poll-bound Chhattisgarh, ahead of the second phase of voting on November 17, Prime Minister Modi declared that the misbehaviour of the Congress party was coming to an end. "The "bidai" countdown for the Congress has now started. It's time to bid those Congress who have been plundering you for the past five years farewell. The state's public is more excited about the 'bidai' that the state will send to Congress.Congress is no longer wanted by the people," the prime minister declared. The chief minister of Chattisgarh, Bhupesh Baghel, came under heavy fire from the prime minister, who accused him of widespread corruption. "A two and a half year term agreement for the Chief Minister's position was in place when the Chhattisgarh Congress government was established. However, during the first 2.5 years, the Chief Minister committed so many crimes and stole so much that he amassed a sizable sum of money through theft." In the event that the BJP government takes back control of the state, he promised action against the corrupt. "I've been informed by the media that the chief minister of Chhattisgarh is losing his assembly seat. After the BJP wins the state of Chhattisgarh, PM Modi promised to take action against corruption there. The Congress was also charged by the prime minister with having a direct hand in the Mahadev betting app controversy. "I have a few inquiries for the leaders of Congress who enjoy instructing in mathematics...I have a few inquiries regarding the celebration. The value of the "Mahadev betting app scam" is Rs 508 crore, and the investigating authorities have retrieved a substantial amount of money in this instance. In jail is also the chief minister of Chhattisgarh's close aide. Congress ought to make public the amount of money the CM was paid for this.How much money has reached Delhi and how much has been received by the other party leaders," Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated. In addition, PM Modi expressed gratitude to the people of Chhattisgarh for supporting the BJP during the first round of the Assembly elections. "It is evident from phase 1 of the Assembly polls that Chhattisgarh's Congress rule will come to an end. He said, "I express my gratitude to the people of Chhattisgarh for supporting the BJP in the first phase of the Assembly elections." The prime minister predicted that if the BJP regains control of the state, Chhattisgarh would see a sharp increase in development. "The young people's dreams will come true. The Mahtari sisters' lives will get easier in this place. Strict measures will be taken to combat corruption in order to control it, the prime minister declared. This month, there will be elections in five states, including Chhattisgarh. Voting in Chhattisgarh is being conducted in two stages. The first phase, involving 20 seats, will end on November 7. Elections in the remaining 70 seats are scheduled for November 17. On December 3, the votes will be tallied. [caption id="attachment_5493" align="alignnone" width="300"] "Countdown to…

On his return from London, where he celebrated Jammu and Kashmir's accession day as a special invitee to the UK Parliament's House of Commons on October 26, he told reporters that he met a large number of people from PoK.

“Teen Tigaada-Kaam Bigaada”: Shah takes swipe at Congress in poll-bound MP

Dhar (Madhya Pradesh): Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a stinging attack on the Congress in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh on Saturday, saying the grand old party will impose a 'Teen Tigaada-Kaam Bigaada' (too many cooks playing spoiler) government on the people if elected. On Saturday, Shah told a rally in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, "Theirs would be a 'Teen-Tigada, Kaam Bigada' government." The Gandhi family will issue the orders, (Congress state president) Kamal Nath will issue the instructions, and Digvijay Singh will be made the fall guy. When the Congress ruled the country and the states, particularly under (former Prime Minister) Manmohan Singh, who took his orders from Sonia Gandhi, Pakistan inflicted severe damage on the country by unleashing terror on unarmed civilians whenever they pleased. Terrorists from across the border struck again in Uri and Pulwama (in Jammu and Kashmir) shortly after we formed the government (in 2014). However, this time, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, we crossed into Pakistan and attacked them in their own backyard." Also accusing the Congress of putting the family's interests ahead of those of the country and the party, the BJP stalwart stated that Sonia wants Rahul Gandhi to be Prime Minister in 2024. "In order to secure the country's borders and root out terror from across the border, Modi-ji must be reinstated as Prime Minister." The Congress is a family-oriented political party. "Kamal Nath wants to make Nakul Nath the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, and Sonia Gandhi wants to make Rahul the Prime Minister," Shah added. Also accusing the grand old party of putting the proposed Ram Temple in Ayodhya on hold, Shah stated that if re-elected, the BJP will take everyone in the state on a turn-by-turn tour of the shrine. "This year, Madhya Pradesh is planning to celebrate Diwali three times." The first will be celebrated tomorrow, the second on December 3, after the BJP forms the government here, and the third on January 22, when the Ram Temple in Ayodhya is consecrated and Ram Lalla ascends to the throne. During their tenure, Congress put the Ram Temple project on ice. The temple is now nearing completion, and Modi-ji plans to open it to devotees next year. "Once we regain power here, we will arrange for everyone to visit Ayodhya," he said. Invoking the repeal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, which stripped the state of its special privileges, Shah stated, "When I stood up to table the Kashmir Bill in Parliament, Rahul Baba said, 'don't remove Article 37 as it will spark nationwide uproar." In Kashmir today, no one dares to even light a fire. Modi-ji worked to protect the country from infiltration. The NIA recently conducted raids to prevent Rohingyas from illegally settling in India. PFI (People's Front of India) was also banned under Modi-ji's leadership. In addition, by repealing Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, the Valley became ours for good."The Union Home Minister also credited PM Modi with reviving cultural centres that had fallen into disuse under previous regimes at the Centre, saying, "While Modi-ji took the lead in reviving several cultural centres in the country, the Congress opposed naming a Metro (network) after Raja Bhoj." We are also building a Sant Ravidas temple in Sagar." [caption id="attachment_5438" align="alignnone" width="300"] "Teen Tigaada-Kaam Bigaada": Shah takes…
