Nitin Gadkari Faints During Maharashtra Rally Due to Heat, Recovers Quickly

On Tuesday afternoon, during an electoral rally in Yavatmal, Maharashtra, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari passed out. Luckily, the senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party received medical attention quickly, and following a short break, he was able to return to the stage and finish his address.

Mr. Gadkari posted on X, the former Twitter platform, shortly after concluding his speech.

“The heat at the Pusad, Maharashtra, relly caused me to feel uncomfortable. I am heading to Varud to attend the upcoming meeting, though, now that I am fully well. I appreciate all of your kindness and well wishes. Unfortunately, the incident was captured on camera. It was broadcast live on X (previously Twitter), including on the BJP leader’s account. It showed Nitin Gadkari being carried away by others present, many of whom hurried to surround the BJP leader with a shield to provide him and those tending to him with some privacy. Rajashree Patil, a member of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s branch of the Shiv Sena and the ruling Mahayuti alliance’s choice for Yavatmal-Washim, was being campaigned for by Mr. Gadkari, who fought the first round of the Lok Sabha election as the candidate from Nagpur, a seat he won in 2014 and 2019.

Earlier this year, as the BJP postponed announcing Mr. Gadkari as its Nagpur Lok Sabha candidate, there was conjecture on the politician’s future. Due to this delay, Uddhav Thackeray, the previous chief minister, even sent Mr. Gadkari a mocking “join us” invitation. “I’m saying this again since I told Gadkari two days ago. Join the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), an alliance of the Congress Party and the erstwhile united Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party, led by Mr. Thackeray and Sharad Pawar, if you are being abused. “We’ll make sure you win. When our administration takes office, we’ll appoint you as a minister, and that will be a position with authority, Uddhav Thackeray said.

It appears that the BJP listened and answered. After a few days, Mr. Gadkari appeared on the party list. In response to Mr. Thackeray’s offer earlier, Mr. Gadkari described it as “immature” and “ridiculous.” He claimed that his adversary did not need to worry about him since the BJP has a structure in place for poll tickets while speaking in Yavatmal. The Nationalist Congress Party breakaway section, headed by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, the BJP, and the Sena, led by Shinde, make up the Mahayuti coalition. The three are working feverishly to reach a seat-sharing agreement before the deadline for submitting nominations for the election’s fifth phase.

Swati Maliwal Assault: Kejriwal and Akhilesh Dismiss Questions; Sanjay Singh Speaks Out | Watch

Swati Maliwal Assault: Kejriwal and Akhilesh Dismiss Questions; Sanjay Singh Speaks Out | Watch

Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav addressed the media together. When Kejriwal brought up the topic of the assault on Swati Maliwal, he handed the microphone to Akhilesh. He stated, “There are more important things than this.” As for the alleged attack on Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at Kejriwal’s residence by CM’s PA Bibhav Kumar, AAP MP Sanjay Singh has made statements about it thus far. He said he would speak on the matter and then cited Manipur, Prajwal Revanna, and the wrestlers’ protest against former chief wrestler of the Wrestling Federation of India, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

“The prime minister said nothing while the wife of a Kargil hero was paraded in Manipur in her undies. PM Modi requested support for Prajwal Revanna, who had raped and molested many women. And the authorities assisted him in his escape. Swati Maliwal went to visit the women wrestlers during their protests at night, and the cops beat her up. Sanjay Singh remarked, “We have seen PM Modi’s silence on Hathras, Kuldeep Sengar. “The Party of Aam Aadmi is a family. The party has already made it clear where it stands on this matter. I want the BJP to respond to all of these questions, especially the incident in which the cops beat up Swati Maliwal. Politics shouldn’t be played over this, according to Sanjay Singh.

On Wednesday, Sanjay Singh visited Swati Maliwal at her home, but the BJP is pressing for action against Vibhav Kumar in this regard. Leaders of the BJP also questioned if Swati Maliwal was under pressure from the AAP, given that no formal complaint has been filed on the assault event. The picture of Bibhav Kumar seen at the Lucknow airport with Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh was released by the BJP on Thursday. “This is the image from last night of the Lucknow airport.” Vibhav, the one wearing the black shirt, struck Swati Maliwal. Kejriwal is upset, as is Sanjay Singh, who said that Bibhav has done something really wrong. BJP’s Kapil Mishra commented on X, saying, “The third one is Kejriwal himself, who is accused of getting Swati beaten up.”

Kejriwal Sparks Controversy: ‘Modi Never Ruled Out Retirement at 75,’ Amid ‘Amit Shah for PM’ Claim

Amit Shah will succeed Narendra Modi as prime minister in 2025, when the latter turns 75, according to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who announced this Thursday. The prime minister has never said he will not step down at that age. Despite the disagreements between Amit Shah and some other politicians on Kejriwal’s age and retirement, PM Modi never said he wouldn’t retire at 75, Kejriwal said at a joint press conference with Samajwadi Party chairman Akhilesh Yadav (Lucknow). “Everyone in the nation is confident that Modi won’t deviate from his 75-year retirement age,” Kejriwal stated.

“Amit Shah’s appointment as prime minister is now confirmed. According to him, the BJP has ignored every opponent, including Devendra Fadnavis, Manohar Lal Khattar, Vasundhara Raje, Dr. Raman Singh, and Shivraj Singh Chouhan. The only issue at hand is Yogi Adityanath, who would be ousted in two to three months, according to Kejriwal, who also mentioned that no BJP leader had disputed his remarks against Adityanath, suggesting that Adityanath’s departure was all but certain.

According to Kejriwal, eliminating reservations is the BJP’s “big plan” if they win the election.

During his first rally after leaving Tihar, Kejriwal stated that if he supported the BJP, Amit Shah would become prime minister since, according to party policy, no one over 75 may hold any job. Narendra Modi will turn 75 in 2025. In response to Kejriwal’s assertion, Amit Shah stated that Narendra Modi will serve out his term and continue to head the party well beyond 2029. Amit Shah charged that Kejriwal was fomenting disarray within the party about the leadership, whereas there is none.

“I would want to inform Arvind Kejriwal and associates that there is no need to celebrate Modiji’s 75th birthday. The BJP constitution does not mention his ineligibility to serve as prime minister. He will serve out the remainder of his time as prime minister. The party is not confused,” Amit Shah declared.
