The Real Reason Why Rahul Gandhi Is Wooing Farmers, Though They May Not Vote For Him

Since Rahul Gandhi joined politics in 2004, his biggest ambition has been to revive the party's fortunes in Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous and politically important state.

The Congress party's rainbow coalition used to contain the extremes of Brahmins, Dalits and Muslims, leaving out the peasant OBCs. The OBCs have never been Congress voters. The OBC communities, the socialist parties and politicians who have represented, and their anti-Congressism, are well-entrenched in the state's history.

SP drama: Akhilesh Yadav's assertion brings no fruit as Mulayam stands by Shivpal

This was a rare occasion when the politician son did not retreat in the face of bullying from his domineering father, the patriarch of the Samajwadi Party. Quite naturally, the rarity of the occasion turned the row between uncle Shivpal Yadav and nephew Akhilesh Yadav into a high talking point in political circles.

Unfortunately, however, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav’s show of assertion proved to be nothing more than a blip of a disruption in the enduring political equilibrium forged by his father Mulayam Singh Yadav. Things are now back to where they began two days ago.

As it happened: Tamil Nadu bandh passes off peacefully

A dawn-to-dusk bandh, called by several farmers and traders bodies in protest against the violence targeting Tamils in Karnataka and also to seek Cauvery water for the State, is on today across Tamil Nadu amid tight security and support of Opposition parties.

As those who had given the bandh call have said a series of protests, including “road and rail rokos”, were held, even as thousands of police personnel are on duty across the State to maintain law and order.

Police said tight vigil was being maintained and no attempts to mar public peace or disruption of free movement of transportation — on road or rail — would be allowed.

Barring the ruling AIADMK, its allies and trade unions affiliated, all other Opposition parties, including the DMK, Congress, DMDK, MDMK, Left parties and the PMK, are supporting the bandh.

CM, 42 MLAs quit Cong., join People’s Party of Arunachal Pradesh

The Congress on Friday lost its government in Arunachal Pradesh when 43 of its MLAs led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu defected wholesale and merged with the People’s Party of Arunachal, just two months after it had regained power.

Mr. Khandu, who had replaced Nabam Tuki following a dissident campaign in July 2016, paraded 42 MLAs before Assembly Speaker Tenzing Norbu Thongdok, who accepted their joining the PPA, Assembly sources said.

The move would be notified in the Assembly bulletin, formalising the political development that leaves the Congress with governments only in Manipur, Meghalaya and Mizoram in the northeast.

The dramatic development in Arunachal Pradesh brought back memories of the famous ‘aya ram, gaya ram’ episode involving Bhajan Lal who was heading a Janata Party government in Haryana and defected lock, stock, and barrel with all the party MLAs to the Congress after Indira Gandhi came back to power in 1980.

Mr. Tuki was the only Congress MLA who did not join PPA, a constituent of the North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) which was formed on May 24 in Guwahati.

PM Modi slams attack on dalits: 'If you want to shoot, shoot me'

 NEW DELHI: Coming down heavily on the perpetrators of violence on dalits, Prime Minister Narendra Modi + on Sunday said, "If you want to attack, attack me, not dalits. If you want to shoot, shoot me".

The Prime Minister was addressing a party meet in Hyderabad+ where he slammed the recent attacks on the dalit community and condemned the politics over the dalit issue. Attacking his political rivals, PM said, "Some people who thought that they control dalit votes could not digest the fact that people are now getting to know about BJP's good work."

Upset over the numerous incidents of such violence, the PM evoked the 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' (the entire world is a family) ideology, which is the fabric of Indian culture and said that it is a shame that we are attacking our own brothers and sisters. "We are the people who talk about 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' and if we cannot embrace our dalit brothers and sisters, the world will not forgive us," PM Modi said.


"What right do we have to ill-treat our dalit sisters and brothers," he asked in his speech which lasted for about 45 minutes. I want to tell everyone that discrimination between people is not acceptable. We must stop this," he said.

Wani was Pakistan-sponsored terrorist, says Rajnath Singh

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a strong pitch for multi-party support for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill that the government wants to pass in the monsoon session of Parliament, scheduled to begin today. The Opposition, on its part, said the passage of the GST was affected by “a lack of trust between the States and the Centre.”

Addressing an all-party meeting called by the government on Sunday, Mr. Modi said, “GST is of national importance; the issue here is not which government gets credit for its passage. All of us represent both the people and parties and let’s keep national interests above everything else.”

He also thanked all political parties for the stand taken by them on the recent incidents in Jammu and Kashmir.The next meeting between the government and the Congress is expected to take place on Tuesday.

The BJP Parliamentary Party’s executive will meet today to firm up its strategy for the monsoon session of Parliament, with the Opposition set to attack the government over a number of issues, including the developments in Arunachal Pradesh. The NDA constituents will also meet after the BJP Parliamentary Party executive meeting in the evening.
