NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took a subtle dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during his address at the Startup Mahakumbh event, highlighting the difference between political startups and original startups.

In an indirect attack on the Congress leader, PM Modi said many people try to launch political startups but the difference between them and the original startups is the latter’s thrust for new ideas.

“Many people try to launch startups, especially in politics, some people have to be launched multiple times. The difference between you and them is that you’re experimental. You try new ideas after the failure of one launch,” the prime minister said.

Rahul Gandhi’s recent Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, spanning from Imphal to Mumbai, is perceived as a strategic move to redefine his image as the face of the opposition party ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Rahul Gandhi is set to contest from his current Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency once again.

At the Startup Mahakumbh event, PM Modi expressed his vision of propelling India to become the world’s third-largest economy during his third term, highlighting the pivotal role of startups in driving India’s progress.

“The world sees the capability of Indian youth. Trusting their capabilities, we decided to fuel their aspirations. We have transformed people’s thinking; instead of being a job-seeker, the youth is now keen on becoming a job- provider,” PM Modi said in his address.

Sharing a personal anecdote, he also mentioned the use of artificial intelligence to translate his speeches into regional languages. His address also found mentions of India’s UPI which was widely appreciated by global leaders during the G20 Summit last summer.

Bengaluru: Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister have joined hands with water mafia: R.Ashoka

Bengaluru: Karnataka Leader of the Opposition R.Ashoka on March 19 attacked Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar over the drinking water crisis, saying that they have joined hands with the water mafia.

He said that both the CM and Deputy CM have completely failed to address the water crisis in Bengaluru city.

“It seems they have surrendered to the tanker mafia and joined hands with them. Half of the water tankers have not bothered to register, not even caring about the government order. Those tankers who have registered are not giving water for the price the government has fixed,” Ashoka said.

He said that the government is not making an honest attempt to solve the drinking water issue.

The government must initiate strict legal action against the tankers violating the government rule and not registered with authorities. Marshals should be appointed at all ward levels and monitor the movements of tankers, Ashoka said.

“The helpline established has failed. A call centre will have to be established with a private agency with the capacity of a minimum of 200 lines and respond to the woes of the people,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on March 18 held a high-level meeting on the drinking water crisis in the state.

“There is enough water stored in the Cauvery and Kabini to last till the end of June,” the Chief Minister said.

Hanuman Chalisa row: Accused’s brother says ‘jail today, bail tomorrow’; BJP slams Congress

Bengaluru: The Karnataka BJP on March 19 criticised the Congress government over “politics of appeasement” following a social media post by the brother of a man accused of attacking a shop owner for allegedly playing Hanuman Chalisa.

Taking it to social media, the Karnataka BJP slammed the “fundamentalist elements” treading the same path as that of the Congress leaders in the state who claim that “jail today, bail tomorrow”.

While there were widespread protests condemning the attack on Mukesh in Bengaluru’s Nagarathpet for allegedly playing Hanuman Chalisa, the brother of Suleiman, one of the accused persons, put up a post that said: “Aaj jail kal bail fir wohi khel.” (Jail today, bail tomorrow, and the same game after that).

“This clearly shows that the ‘fundamentalists’ in Karnataka think that no matter what they do, they will be protected by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar,” the state BJP said.

“The Congress government is solely responsible for such developments. Action must be taken to ensure that the accused don’t come out of jail anytime soon,” it added.

The Karnataka Police on Tuesday detained and released Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje and BJP MLA Suresh Kumar with scores of Hindu activists and BJP workers, who were protesting to condemn the assault on a shop owner for allegedly playing ‘Hanuman Chalisa’.

Tension prevailed within the Halasurugate police station limits following the incident.

Hindu activists and BJP workers gathered in Nagarathpet and started playing ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ even as police tried to take Mukesh into custody.

BJP MLA Suresh Kumar condemned the police action and asked them as to why they were taking the victim into their custody?

When the state police did not budge and tried to take Mukesh away, the MLA Suresh Kumar came in front of the police vehicle and protested. However, the BJP MLA was taken into custody along with Shobha Karandlaje, who also arrived at the spot, to take part in the protest.

The Hindu activists alleged that instead of real culprits, the police have arrested those who are not connected to the incident.
