Fight to protect our Constitution and democracy begins today: Mallikarjun Kharge

ನವದೆಹಲಿ: ಲೋಕಸಭಾ ಚುನಾವಣೆದ ಸುರುತ್ತಾ ಹಂತದ ಮತದಾನ ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ 19 ಶುರು ಆತ್ಂಡ್. ಎಚ್ಚರಿಕೆಡ್ ವೋಟು ಪಾಡ್ಲೆ ಪಂದ್ ದೇಶದ ಜನತೆಗ್ ಎಐಸಿಸಿ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷ ಮಲ್ಲಿಕಾರ್ಜುನ ಖರ್ಗೆ ಮನವಿ ಮಲ್ತೆರ್.

New Delhi: As the first phase of the Lok Sabha polls began on April 19, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge urged voters to cast their ballots carefully and asserted that a new era of economic empowerment and equal opportunities beckons them. “The fight to protect our Constitution and Democracy begins today,” he said in a post on ‘X’.

“My dear citizens, from 21 States and UTs who are voting in the First Phase of the Lok Sabha elections, I request you to carefully cast your vote. A future where NYAY (justice) awaits you. A new era of Economic Empowerment and Equal Opportunities beckons you,” the Congress chief said.

“I am sure you will vote for the ‘jobs revolution’ through YUVA NYAY, rather than a continuation of the past 10 years of record unemployment,” Kharge said. He exuded confidence that people would vote for the guarantees of ‘NAARI NYAY’ which takes concrete measures for the financial independence of women and against the continuation of the backbreaking price rise that has reduced their household savings to a 50-year low.

“I am sure our farmers will vote for KISAAN NYAY, for a legal guarantee of MSP, rather than getting duped by Jumlas of doubling farm income. I am sure the crores of hard-working hands that build this nation, will vote for the agenda of SHRAMIK NYAY, rather than a continuation of an era that has reduced their wages and left them to walk kilometers on highways during the pandemic,” Kharge said in his post.

“I am sure our people belonging to the Dalit, Adivasi, OBC, EWS and Minority communities shall choose HISSEDARI NYAY over an era where they were discriminated through divisive politics and ever-increasing violence against them,” he said.

“When you push that button on the EVM, pause and reflect for a second – Do you want our Institutions to be subverted through dictatorship, or do you want to protect Democracy,” Kharge said.

He said voters would decide India’s destiny. Kharge also extended a warm welcome to all first-time voters. He urged people to go out and vote in large numbers.

Bengaluru: The incident of attack on three youths for reportedly raising ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogans in Bengaluru has taken a political turn with Karnataka BJP leaders blaming the Congress-led state government for it.

Attack on 3 youths for raising 'Jai Shri Ram' slogans

Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Shobha Karandlaje visited the residences of victims Vinayak, Rahul and Pavan in MS Palya of Bengaluru on Wednesday late night and inquired about their health.

After the visit, the Union Minister said that the victims, holding saffron flags on the occasion of Ram Navami, were travelling in a car. Near MS Palya, youth belonging to another community waylaid them and assaulted them.

“We condemn the incident. Ram Navami festival is celebrated across the country today and our youths celebrate the festival in different ways, they worship, and take out a procession. They naturally would carry saffron flags and they did not raise provocative slogans…” she said.

“The victims are saying that a group of five to six persons attacked them. I urge the police to arrest all of them,” she added.

“We will not sit quietly if there is a hand of Congress leaders from the Bengaluru North Parliamentary Constituency (in the incident). We will take up agitation… I have heard that the police are taking the issue very lightly and irresponsibly. I will immediately speak to the Police Commissioner and the DCP,” the Union Minister said.

Leader of the Opposition R. Ashoka said that the incident was a result of the “appeasement by the Congress government”. People will teach a “befitting lesson” in the Lok Sabha election, he added.

Meanwhile, police have arrested two persons and detained one minor for the attack. The incident took place under the limits of the Vidyaranyapura police station in the state capital.

DCP (North East), Lakshmi Prasad, said a case has been registered in the matter under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

“The youths travelling in the car holding flags had raised ‘Jai Shri Ram’ slogans. The accused waylaid the car and created a ruckus. The youths in the car were also assaulted. A case has been registered in this regard. The police have launched a hunt for the other accused persons who attacked the youths,” the DCP said.

Sources said the victims were returning after celebrating Ram Navami when they were attacked. In a purported video that has gone viral on social media, some bikers could be seen warning the youths against raising ‘Jai Sri Ram’ slogans, and instead asking them to chant ‘Allah Hu Akbar’.

Bengaluru: Congress will win 20 seats, won’t allow BJP-JDS to scrap guarantees, asserts DKS

Bengaluru: KPCC Chief and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Apri 17 predicted that the ruling party will win more than 20 out of the 28 seats and will never allow BJP-JDS combine to scrap the Congress government’s guarantees which have helped crores of Kannadigas.

KPCC Chief and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar

Addressing party workers at the KPCC office, Shivakumar said State BJP President B Y Vijayendra must be living in a dream world to claim that the NDA government will scrap the guarantees after coming to power for the third time at the Centre.

“All these BJP and JDS leaders like Vijayendra, H D Kumaraswamy, B S Yediyurapa and R Ashok will never be able to do anything against the Congress government’s guarantees, which have helped more than 4.5 crore out of the State’s 6 crore population,” he declared.

Shivakumar said Yediyurappa’s son and Vijayendra’s elder brother B Y Raghavendra will not be able to retain his Shivamogga seat as the enthusiasm and support extended by the people during the filing of the nomination papers by Congress candidate Geetha Shivarajkumar, daughter of former chief minister S Bangarappa.

The BJP-JDS leaders are frustrated and jealous at the Congress government’s guarantees and their impact. This has made them to make all kinds of claims and baseless criticisms against the guarantees, he said.

The KPCC Chief said the BJP is making tall claims of winning 400 plus seats in the Lok Sabha out of the 543 seats, which will never happen. “If the BJP is so confident why the BJP and NDA changed over 100 sitting MPs in the country and replace 14 sitting MPs in the State,” he asked pointing out that it indicates the nervousness of the BJP.

He said the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has claimed that BJP will not win more than 140 seats. “Rahul Gandhi has more information because he has been touring the entire country and meeting people and leaders. I know BJP will be defeated in this election,” he warned.

Shivakumar said the people are angry at the Narendra Modi government’s 10-year rule with price rise, unemployment and communal polarisation spiralling.

The BJP leaders including Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah and others, who were ridiculing the Congress guarantees, have become totally nervous and insecure after the success of the guarantees in Karnataka and Telangana. “The BJP leaders are now talking about Modi ki Guarantee without doing anything in 10 years,” he said.

The KPCC Chief indicated that he will be joining Rahul Gandhi and campaign for him in Wayanad in Kerala on Thursday. “Rahul Gandhi is a fighter and is not afraid of anybody. He works for the people and lives among the people.

Answering questions from the media, Shivakumar said the Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje does not know what she is speaking and her claim that Rahul Gandhi’s campaigning for the Congress will not affect the BJP. “If she is so confident, why did she have to run away from Chikkamagalur-Udupi and contest from Bengaluru North ousting gentleman politician D V Sadananda Gowda. She must have forgotten the go-back-Shobha campaign by her own partymen in Chikkamagaluru,” he said.

Bengaluru: A lot at stake for three former Karnataka CMs in Lok Sabha election fray

Bengaluru: Victory is essential for three former Chief Ministers of Karnataka who are contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections, as any electoral setback can push them to the political backstage from the frontline.

Three former Chief Ministers of Karnataka

The trio in question — former BJP Chief Ministers Basavaraj Bommai and Jagadish Shettar, and ex-CM H.D. Kumaraswamy of the JD-S — is expected to play big roles in national politics. Bommai is contesting the Haveri Lok Sabha seat, Shettar has been fielded from Belagavi, while Kumaraswamy is the NDA nominee from Mandya.

The involvement of former Chief Ministers has turned these constituencies into high-profile seats, where it has become a matter of prestige for the supporters of these three prominent leaders to ensure their victory.

For Kumaraswamy, winning the elections is crucial, especially after his party stitched an alliance with the BJP-led NDA with both parties announcing that the tie-up is not confined to the Lok Sabha polls only as they will continue to fight the Congress together in the days to come.

Kumaraswamy, whose nomination is aimed at boosting the prospects of the NDA candidates in southern Karnataka, is pitted against industrialist Venkataramane Gowda of the Congress.

While many feel that the chances of Gowda, a fresh face in electoral politics, look slim against a seasoned politician like Kumaraswamy, Deputy Chief Minister and state Congress President D.K. Shivakumar is backing his party nominee to hand defeat to the former Chief Minister in Mandya.

In case of an unfavorable verdict, Kumaraswamy might lose his bargaining power significantly with the BJP’s national leadership. It would also mean that the Vokkaliga community, which forms the core support base for the JD-S, is no longer backing him with Shivakumar emerging as their preferred choice.

With some of his close confidantes joining the Congress and taking pot-shots at his family, Kumaraswamy wants to redeem his frontline position in state politics and a victory in Mandya will give him the much-needed boost. The elections are also crucial for Jagadish Shettar, as a defeat in Belagavi might signal the end of his political career.

Shettar, who had quit the BJP ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections, rejoined the party in January this year. In Belagavi, he faces Mrinal Hebbalkar of the Congress, a fresh face in electoral politics and the son of state minister Laxmi Hebbalkar, who’s known to be close to Shivakumar.

Upping the ante against the former Chief Minister, Shivakumar has claimed that Shettar’s plight will be miserable in a couple of months when he will repent his decision to return to the BJP. The upcoming elections are also crucial for the political career of Basavaraj Bommai.

To recall, Union Home Minister Amit Shah had declared last year that the Assembly elections will be fought under the leadership of Bommai. However, the party later decided to contest under the collective leadership of the BJP.

Sources close to Bommai said that he has been handpicked by the party high command for his abilities such as language fluency, oratory skills, and political knowledge.

Known for defending the party’s stands with facts on the floor of the Assembly, Bommai is likely to be offered an important role if the BJP retains power at the Centre, and the former CM wins from Haveri.

However, a defeat can cause a setback to his political career as many young contenders are vying for important roles in the BJP.

Bommai is up against Congress’ Anandswamy Gaddadevarmath in Haveri.

Petition filed in Delhi High Court to disqualify PM Narendra Modi from elections for 6 years

A petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court seeking action against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allegedly violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) by soliciting votes in the name of “gods and places of worship” for the Lok Sabha elections.

A petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court seeking action against Prime Minister Narendra Modi

The petition was filed by advocate Anand S Jondhale, refers to Modi’s speech in Pilibhit, Uttar Pradesh on April 9, where Modi allegedly sought votes in the name of “god and place of worship” and “Hindu deities and Hindu place of worships as well as Sikh deities and Sikh place of worship” while campaigning for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls

The petition has sought disqualification of PM Modi from contesting any elections for six years.

In his petition, Jondhale stated, “That Respondent No.2 [Modi] said that he has constructed the Ram Temple. Respondent No.2 also stated that he developed Kartarpur Sahib Corridor and removed GST from material used in Langars served in Gurudwaras. The Respondent No.2 also said that he had brought back the copies of Guru Granth Sahib from Afghanistan.”

The petitioners also alleges that Modi made comments against opposite political parties as favoring Muslims, which, according to Jondhale, creates hatred and promotes disharmony. Jondhale further contended that PM Modi not only sought votes in the name of Hindu and Sikh deities and their places of worship but also violated the MCC by making comments against political opponents.

Meanwhile, Modi, concluding his Lok Sabha poll campaign at a rally in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, made a Tamil-centric pitch as he proposed to set up Thiruvalluvar centres globally, and labelled the Congress and DMK “sinners” over “ceding” Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka. Modi dubbed the DMK and Congress “anti-national” and said the entire country has now understood the “truth,” that they had given Katchatheevu to another country after “cutting it off” from Tamil Nadu.

The petitioner stated that even though he approached the Election Commission of India (ECI) with a prayer to register FIR against the Prime Minister under Sections 153A (promoting enmity between groups) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and to disqualify Modi from contesting elections for six years, the Commission took no action.

Bengaluru: Cong’s election manifesto will just remain an irrelevant piece of paper: Jaishankar

Bengaluru: External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar on April 15 said that there was no need to bother about the election manifesto of the Congress as it will become just a piece of paper with no relevance after the BJP registers victory in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar on April 15 said that there was no need to bother about the election manifesto of the Congress

The Union Minister said this while answering a question about Congress’ claims that “if BJP gets 400 seats, it will change the Constitution”. EAM Jaishankar said that it was a matter of happiness that the Congress agreed that the BJP would cross 400 seats this time.

“We will put that 400 to use by taking the country forward. When you see Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at above 400 seats, you will see that we are doing more service towards the people of India,” S. Jaishankar said.

“From Jawaharlal Nehru to Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister is the leader of the country. How can you (referring to Rahul Gandhi) say that you won’t accept a leader? Rahul Gandhi disrespected former PM Manmohan Singh during the UPA regime. You think you are bigger than the PM as the party is a family enterprise?” the Union Minister questioned.

Talking about BJP’s hopes in south India in the upcoming elections, EAM Jaishankar stated that his party is “genuinely optimistic”.

“The kind of response PM Modi is getting from the public in Tamil Nadu and Kerala is phenomenal. We have been in a good position in Karnataka, and also got a good hold in Telangana.

“Most importantly, from the southern states, we are seeking votes not only on the manifesto but on our 10-year’s track record and achievements. We have delivered food, electricity, water, infrastructure, and education. When you look at our track record, you will strengthen our hands as we have bigger things to do for the nation. People of these states are very much part of all that has happened in 10 years. Every programme that has happened has impacted Tamil Nadu and Kerala. It will have an impact,” EAM Jaishankar said.

He further said: “This election is extraordinarily important. We have 10 years of foundation. We are planning to do something really big in the third term.”
