    Due to the negligence of PWD, one life was lost, the minister who proved unsuccessful should resign – Ranjana Sahu

    Raipur. Chhattisgarh State BJP Spokesperson MLA Ranjana Sahu demanded the resignation of PWD Minister Tamradhwaj Sahu while demanding adequate compensation from the Chief Minister for the death of a milk trader who fell into a road pit between Mangla Lokhandi in Bilaspur due to PWD’s negligence. He said that the PWD had left the pothole open on the road. Due to which this accident happened.

    State BJP spokesperson MLA Ranjana Sahu said that neither the Home Department nor the Public Works Department is being handled by Tamradhwaj Sahu. The law and order of entire Chhattisgarh has derailed. The Chief Minister says that the situation has improved in Bastar while his own MLA’s convoy was attacked in Bijapur. All the claims of Tamradhwaj Sahu as Home Minister have proved to be hollow. The performance of his departmental work as Public Works Minister is that the wall of his own official residence collapses twice a year. The condition of the roads of entire Chhattisgarh is dilapidated. The road has turned into potholes. The situation is such that during Chhattisgarhia Olympics, a young player lost his life due to bad road. He could not be taken to Raigad Hospital on time. A player daughter of Bastar also became a victim.

    State BJP spokesperson MLA Ranjana Sahu said that people are getting casualties due to bad roads in the entire state. When the issue of the plight of the roads is raised, Public Works Minister Tamradhwaj Sahu shirks his responsibility and makes baseless comments. A citizen of Chhattisgarh lost his life again due to leaving an open pothole on the road. For which the Public Works Minister is directly responsible and Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel is more responsible than him who is not making any arrangements to improve the roads of Chhattisgarh. A compensation of Rs 50 lakh should be given to the family of the person who lost his life due to the negligence of the Public Works Department and the Public Works Minister, who has failed to discharge his duty, should be sacked. If Tamradhwaj Sahu has morality, he should accept his failure and resign himself. When Panchayat department was not handled by TS Singhdev, he resigned. Now Tamradhwaj should follow them.

  • BJP sharpens attack on Congress in Karnataka

    BJP sharpens attack on Congress in Karnataka

    Bengaluru: With the political temperature rising in Karnataka for the May 10 assembly polls, the BJP has sharpened its attack on the Congress with Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai stating that the opposition party has shown special love for Lingayat community after the elections were announced and pursued “divide and rule policy”.

    BJP president JP Nadda, who was in Karnataka, also attacked the Congress and accused its leader and former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of being “patron” of PFI.

    “Former CM Siddaramaiah from Congress party withdrew cases against PFI, released 1,700 PFI activists from jail…Siddaramaiah is their patron…,” Nadda said in Hubballi. The Centre banned the Popular Front of India (PFI) in September last year.

    The Congress on Tuesday announced its candidate against Chief Minister Bommai from Shiggaon. The party has fielded Mohammed Yousuf Savanur from the seat. The party announced seven candidates on Tuesday and fielded former Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar from Hubli-Dharwad-Central.

    Jagadish Shettar’s resignation from BJP and his joining Congress on Monday has made Hubballi-Dharwad Central a key battle in the assembly polls. Shettar, a six-time MLA, represented the seat in the outgoing assembly and was keen to be given a ticket from the constituency.

    He is the second senior leader from the Lingayat community to leave the ruling BJP and join Congress in less than a week. Former Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi had joined the Congress on Friday.

    Basavaraj Bommai said voters from the Lingayat community “are vigilant and “have taken right decision when required”.

    “Lingayat voters in Karnataka are vigilant and they have always taken the right decision when required. Congress Party has shown special love for them (Lingayat) after the Assembly elections were announced but it’s the same party which tried to divide the Lingayats and Veerashaivas. The people have not forgotten the divide-and-rule policy of the Congress party,” Bommai told reporters.

  • Surat: After 10 AAP councilors joined BJP, BJP’s presence has now been registered in every ward of Surat!

    Surat: After 10 AAP councilors joined BJP, BJP’s presence has now been registered in every ward of Surat!

    In the secret campaign run by BJP, 6 councilors of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) joined BJP and with 4 councilors who left AAP earlier, a total of 10 members have joined BJP. With these 10 members formally joining BJP, now BJP’s strength in Surat Municipal Council has gone up to 103 and now AAP is left with only 17 members. However, with this, BJP has created another history after two and a half decades. BJP councilors have been present in every ward of the Municipal Corporation when 10 AAP corporators joined BJP.

    BJP’s presence in all wards after 23 years

    For the first time after the year 2000, BJP members are present in all the wards of the city. In the 1995 elections, when BJP won 98 out of 99 seats, BJP members were elected from all the wards. However, since then it has never happened that any BJP councilor from all the wards of the city is on the board of the Municipal Corporation. BJP has once again repeated history after 23 years. Including 10 corporators of Aam Aadmi Party, BJP corporators were present in all the wards of Municipal Corporation today.

    Despite having majority, BJP was not present in many wards

    In the years 2000, 2005 and 2010, as the Congress’s strength gradually decreased. At one time only 11 corporators of the Congress were elected, but the entire panel in the ward belonged to the Congress. Where there was a Congress panel, there was no BJP councillor. In this way, in 2015, all the wards of Varachha area and Dumbhal and Bamroli, those etc. all had Congress members. In the 2021 elections also, the entire panel of Aam Aadmi Party was elected in Ward No. 2, 3, 4, 5, 16 and 17. In spite of having a majority with 93 out of 120 councillors, the BJP did not have a single councilor in six wards.

    Your councilors have created history for BJP

    Now that your 10 corporators elected from all these wards have joined BJP, all these members will be considered as BJP corporators with the support of BJP as your members have now officially joined BJP. Due to which BJP has presence in all wards of the city, 10 members of Aam Aadmi Party have repeated the history of BJP once again after 23 years with presence in all wards of Surat.
