“Eshwarappa is training guns at BJP, not my family,” retorts Raghavendra as the conflict in Shivamogga intensifies

The fight for Shivamogga in Karnataka is a serious one in Lok Sabha Races 2024. Voting will take place in the Lok Sabha on May 7 in the third stage. Three-time MP BY Raghavendra, who is previous chief serve BS Yediyurappa’s child, has been brimming with certainty indeed, even though he is confronted with resistance from his father’s near political match, KS Eshwarappa, who has recorded his designation as an independent.

Eshwarappa, the revolting BJP pioneer, has called out “dynastic politics” in the party, including Yediyurappa and his children. When asked how he was going to counter this resistance on the field and whether Eshwarappa was attempting to settle ancient political scores with his father, BSY, Raghavendra giggled absent, saying he would react after the decisions but “people would teach them a lesson.” Talking to News18, while on the campaign path, he encouraged assaulting the free candidate for abusing Hindutva for his gain.

Raghavendra feels that his work as an MP over three terms will speak to his support, and Eshwarappa’s candidature against him will, as it would harm the latter’s chances. “The pioneer whose title you took on an occasion favoured me and said that I would win with over 5 lakh votes and indeed get to be a servant (union). But what happened within two weeks? I don’t know. Individuals will provide the reply in this election,” said Raghavendra. “He considers he is appearing a weapon at our family, but he has not figured out that he has appeared it at our tall command,” the officeholder MP said, hitting back at Eshwarappa.

Raghavendra included that the affirmations of ‘parivaarwaad’ do not apply in his case. “When Nehru was PM, his girl afterwards got to be PM, and they had family individuals in the best posts in the Congress. When Rajiv Gandhi was PM, some person from their party was the Congress party president; the same was true when it came to Sonia Gandhi. When she was president, Rahul Gandhi held the best post. The choices taken by a family for a party inside their homes are called pariwarvaad. In the BJP, the tall command has been chosen, and each part of my family has worked their way up, from being ABVP karyakartas, challenging decisions from ABVP, to being an MP.

So can that be called family politics?” he questioned. Contesting the Lok Sabha decisions for the fourth time, Raghavendra feels that this term he has been fulfilled with what he has conveyed to his voting public. “At one of the towns, an individual asked me how my father (BSY) is not campaigning for me when in other parties, DK Shivakumar was campaigning for his brother in Bengaluru Provincial, Siddaramaiah for Mysore. I told them my father, Yediyurappa, and brother, who is the state president, have 100 per cent certainty in my win. Our karyakartas are our quality, and they will work on this decision successfully,” he said.

The BJP and the JDS are in collusion with each other in this decision in Karnataka. When asked how much coordination and participation the party specialists of both parties can keep up, particularly after having to battle tooth and nail against each other in the 2023 get-together surveys, the MP answered, “It is a verifiable choice. We have seen how regarded Deve Gowda has been against our party, but afterwards, in front of Modi, he said that they joined hands with the BJP against the Congress. They are working with their hearts and souls,” Raghavendra said. Interestingly, Slam Mandir and Hindutva are vital decision issues in Shimoga, with the BJP-JDS organization together candidates inquiring individuals to vote for Hindutva pride, Ayodhya, and Modi ‘Matomme’ (once more).

Raghavendra, who was campaigning entryway to entryway in Bhadravathi, a constituency that the BJP has never won since Freedom, one that has been beneath the hold of the Congress and JDS, looked upbeat with the acknowledgement by voters there. “The JDS collusion has made a difference. Individuals are also inspired by the way the Ayodhya Sanctuary was built. Indeed, even though the BJP has not won from here since Autonomy, each house from Bhadravathi sent a brick to Ayodhya to offer assistance in constructing the sanctuary. Smash Mandir has had a remarkable impact on individuals and their belief in Modi,” said the MP. Seeking re-election for the fourth time from the situate has, moreover, brought in an undercurrent of anti-incumbency against Raghavendra.

Congress candidate Geetha Shivrajkumar is the daughter of former Karnataka Chief Minister S Bangarappa and sister of sitting Karnataka Chief Minister Madhu Bangarappa. She has been campaigning on how there is a need for change. Bringing aeroplane terminals or creating thoroughfares, like Raghavendra claims, would not contribute to creating the town, but bringing light into the lives of country individuals like her father Bangarappa does, she said. She has been campaigning on the benefits of the Congress’s five ensure plans, but Raghavendra has called them an “utter failure.” “They are taking cash from one hand and giving it over through the other.

A villager told me how, after a difficult day’s work, he sat down for a drink. He pays Rs 50 as charges for alcohol to the government. He takes a couple of drinks, which are Rs 100, and in turn, spends Rs 3000 a month. Siddaramaiah takes the cash from the spouse and gives Rs 2000 to the spouse, claiming it is government cash.

Is that not by and large cheating?” he asked. As he finished his day’s campaign at an open work close to the final town near the Bhadra Waterway Extend dam, a multipurpose store planned by Sir M Visvesvarayya and built-in 1947, Raghavendra guaranteed he talked of the collusion between the JDS and BJP. He called for the back of the JDS for the BJP for a modern-created India under PM Modi. “Deve Gowda ji and Modi ji have a vision for India, and you are going to be a portion of it. Will you vote for it? When you do your morning pooja and wish for the welfare of your family, will you put one more blossom in the title of Modi?” he offered to the ladies voters among individuals chanting Modi and Deve Gowda’s titles.

Supreme Court Queries ED on Timing of Arvind Kejriwal’s Arrest

Supreme Court

Supreme Court Queries ED on Timing of Arvind Kejriwal’s Arrest

In response to a query on the date of AAP chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest from his attorney, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to provide a response. The Supreme Court noted that liberty is “very exceedingly important” when it heard Arvind Kejriwal’s appeal against his arrest in the Delhi excise policy case. The Enforcement Department lawyer was asked by Arvind Kejriwal why he was being held so close to the Lok Sabha elections.

Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21. “It is impossible to dispute the importance of liberty. The final query concerns the date of the arrest, which Arvind Kejriwal’s attorney has brought up. Specifically, they want to know why the arrest was made so soon before the general elections, Justice Sanjiv Khanna informed ASG SV Raju. The Delhi High Court supported Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest earlier this month, stating that the agency was left with no choice because the former had not been cooperating with the investigation.

In his appearance before the court today, Arvind Kejriwal’s attorney, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, said that MP Magunta Sreenivasulu Reddy (MSR) was compelled to testify against Arvind Kejriwal in order to deny his son Raghav bail. This was reported by Live Law. He claimed that MSR’s breakdown was brought up by his son’s ongoing detention and used his statement to attack Kejriwal. Singhvi added that MSR had changed his prior remarks and that Raghav had been given bail the very following day.

Singhvi brought forward the claim that Vijay Nair, an assistant to Arvind Kejriwal, was taking bribes. The arrest took place in November 2022. In March 2024, Kejriwal was taken into custody. “There is no explanation for not arresting during this time,” he responded. “At first, Raghav made no accusations—his wife tried suicide. When he requested temporary bail, the special judge denied it. His grandmother slipped and ended up in intensive care. The High Court of Delhi granted him provisional bail. Singhvi stated, according to the website, “ED contested it.” He added that the Enforcement Directorate did not contest Raghav’s bail following his father’s statement.

“Please interpret the nuances… The approval process is a farce, Singhvi continued. The AAP leaders have been charged by the Enforcement Directorate with accepting ₹100 crore in bribes from the South Group, a political and business group, in exchange for their economic interests being served by the now-cancelled Delhi liquor policy. Kejriwal’s attorney, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, stated on Monday that the former cannot be arrested for refusing to comply with the agency’s summonses. He claimed that the agency lacked the necessary evidence to revoke his freedom.

“You (ED) have to demonstrate the necessity of arrest based on material available with the investigating agency,” Singhvi said. “The ED has the authority, but not the duty, to make an arrest. There needs to be a cause for optimism, fresh information, or a connection that relates to Kejriwal specifically. Following the implementation of the model code of conduct, they detained Kejriwal. Until March 2024, he was not charged nor suspected,” he continued.

Lok Sabha Election 2024: Amit Shah ‘Confident’ as BJP Secures Seats After Phase 2 Polling

The Bharatiya Janata Party and its partners in the NDA, according to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, are confident of reaching the “400 paar” target in the Lok Sabha elections of 2024, having won over 100 seats after the two stages of voting. Amit Shah added that the public’s blessings and support are helping the BJP achieve its objective of having more than 400 Lok Sabha seats. “We can state that the BJP and its allies have crossed over 100 seats after two phases of elections, and we are optimistic that we are going towards our goal of ‘400 seats,’ based on our internal assessment. According to preliminary trends, the BJP is receiving positive feedback in southern India. “Amit Shah was quoted in Guwahati by news agency ANI.

On Monday night, Amit Shah traveled to Guwahati and conducted a roadshow in support of Bijuli Kalita Medhi, the party’s candidate for Guwahati. In Assam, the BJP is running for eleven of the fourteen seats, while its allies, the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), are running for two seats (Barpeta and Dhubri) and the UPPL for one seat (Kokrajhar).

‘Congress is spreading lies’: Amit ShahQ

Amit Shah said at a press conference that the Congress was disseminating false information about the BJP’s plans to amend the Constitution and remove reservations if it wins a third term in office. Lies about the saffron party amending the constitution and eliminating reservations are being propagated by the Congress. We do not regard voters as either a majority or a minority; in Assam, the BJP is going to win 12 of the 14 Lok Sabha seats, according to Amit Shah. The Union home minister claimed that the Congress is trying to preserve “the little of what is remaining of their support base” and attacked it for engaging in “politics of appeasement since the very beginning.”

Amit Shah on reservation

“The BJP opposes religious reservations. We support the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code throughout the nation and guarantee that individuals of all faiths are subject to the same laws,” Amit Shah was cited by the news agency as saying. Along with saying that legislation based on religion is wrong and goes against the spirit of the Constitution, the top BJP official also remarked that this is a secular nation.

Amit Shah Hits Back at Congress Amid Prajwal Revanna Sex Tape Controversy: ‘I Want to Tell Priyankaji…

Union Home Minister Amit Shah questioned the Congress government’s lack of action in the raging controversy surrounding sex tapes allegedly featuring Janata Dal (Secular) parliamentarian Prajwal Revanna, saying on Tuesday that the BJP is strongly in favor of “Nari Shakti” and does not tolerate the insulting of women. Amid an election-season firestorm, hours later, Prajwal, the 33-year-old grandson of JD (S) chief and former Prime Minister HD Deve Gowda, was suspended by his party. In Karnataka, the National Democratic Alliance, led by the BJP, includes the JD(S). The ruling Congress in the southern state and its allies throughout the nation have intensified their attacks on the ruling BJP of the Center over the issue. Prajwal is the NDA contender for the Hassan Lok Sabha seat.

At a news conference in Guwahati, Assam, Shah declared, “The BJP’s position is clear: we stand with ‘Nari Shakti.'” ” The people have pledged to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he will not accept any slight to the authority of women. Nevertheless, because Congress is making accusations against us, I would like to ask them a quick question. In Karnataka, who is in charge of the government? He continued, raising doubts about the timing of the release of sleazy video clips purporting to feature Revanna. “The Congress party runs the government,” he said. Law and order, Shah said, is a state matter, and he held the Congress administration accountable for its passivity.

“Why hasn’t Congress looked at this matter yet? It is not our place to conduct an inquiry. A state concern is law and order. Priyankaji, also known as Priyanka Gandhi, is questioning us. I want to advise her: take your questions to your chief minister and deputy chief minister about what your government is doing [in Karnataka], not to Narendra Modi and me, Shah remarked in response to a tweet from Congresswoman Priyanka Gandhi requesting an answer from the Prime Minister. The BJP’s ties to Prajwal and the JD(s) have raised concerns among her allies as well.

The current Hassan MP, Prajwal, has filed a complaint claiming that the tapes have been altered, although he rejects the accusations. Following the videos’ internet release, he departed for Germany. HD Revanna, his father, is also charged with this crime. He represents Holenarasipur as an MLA. “We support an investigation, and JD(S), our ally, has also declared that it will act [on Prajwal’s behalf].” Events of this nature have no place in society or public life. In these situations, strict action is necessary. Shortly before Prajwal was suspended, Shah stated, “The Bharatiya Janata Party’s position is clear, and there is no confusion.”

After purportedly recording Prajwal engaging in sexual activity with women, including government employees, on camera, the controversy broke out and was extensively shared around the Hassan area. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was then asked by the Karnataka State Commission for Women to form a special investigation team (SIT), and he issued an order for one to be conducted. Among other things, a first information report (FIR) was filed for criminal intimidation, sexual harassment, and stalking.
