Modi stated in the letter, “Madhya Pradesh has evolved from a ‘bimaru’ state to one that is robust, prosperous, and self-sufficient over the last two decades. One cannot ignore the state of Madhya Pradesh in 2003, which was plagued by inadequate infrastructure including electricity, water, and roads.”

A further jab at the Congress party, Prime Minister Modi stated that the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh encountered numerous challenges in terms of public welfare and state development prior to 2014, “due to the’sautela’ treatment” it received from the Congress government at the centre.

He added that the state began to see a bright future after the BJP assumed control at the national level.

“Today, the entire nation is aware that Madhya Pradesh has experienced a significant increase in capacity since the BJP assumed control at the national level in 2014. By working together, we have secured a prosperous future for the state and commemorated its glorious past. The double-engine government’s persistent endeavors have propelled Madhya Pradesh towards an imminent position among the top three state economies in the nation.

बीते 20 वर्षों में हमने मध्य प्रदेश के अपने परिवारजनों के सहयोग से ना सिर्फ राज्य का अभूतपूर्व विकास किया है, बल्कि जन-जन का विश्वास भी जीता है। मुझे भरोसा है कि आप सभी का आशीर्वाद इस बार भी भाजपा को ही मिलेगा।

Modi, who shared the letter on X, formerly Twitter, stated, “With the assistance of our Madhya Pradesh family members, we have not only accomplished unprecedented progress in the state over the past two decades, but we have also earned the confidence of the people. “I am certain that once again, you will grant the BJP your blessings.”

The Prime Minister stated that whenever he paid a visit to an MP, he was invigorated by the state’s citizens’ profound affection for him. He further stated that the manner in which MP was progressing along the path to development was cause for great joy.

Additionally, he stated that Madhya Pradesh has risen to one of the nation’s top ten economies within the past two decades.

“Because of the confidence you have placed in us over the past two decades, Madhya Pradesh has risen to the ranks of the top ten economies.” I am proud to say that over the past two decades, over 5 lakh roads have been built, the economy has grown by 16 percent, over 65 lakh homes have access to water, and over 28,000 watts of electricity have been generated due to the efforts of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and the BJP.

MP’s development model, according to Modi, has become an example for the entire nation to emulate in its pursuit of holistic upliftment, the welfare of women, and the improvement of the impoverished.

In order to fulfill its commitment to improving the conditions of the impoverished, the BJP administration in Maharashtra has implemented a number of initiatives aimed at aiding the disadvantaged. As a consequence, in excess of 1.36 crore individuals have risen out of poverty. With the well-being of women as our primary concern, we have laboriously and ceaselessly served the state’s cherished sisters. The future of the state’s cultivators, Dalits, Adivasis, and youth has been brightened as a result of numerous welfare programs, the prime minister stated today.

Modi stated that Madhya Pradesh has always held a special place in his heart. He explained that the state’s electorate ensured the BJP’s victory in 2014 and 2019 for this reason.

“I am certain that you will once again extend your unwavering support to me directly this time around, and your conviction will guarantee that the BJP once again forms a double-engine government,” Modi concluded.

4.On Monday, it was reported that four more people had died as a result of political violence, bringing the total to 42 since June 8, when the three-tier local body elections were announced. Allegations of vote tampering marred the panchayat elections, compelling the SEC, led by Rajiva Sinha, to order a re-vote in afflicted polling stations in all Bengal districts except for three.

5. On Tuesday, the BJP criticized the Trinamool Congress government for “state-sponsored” violence, labeling chief minister Mamata Banerjee “ruthless” and alleging that at least 45 people have been killed in the clashes.

MP and former Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad and MP Dr. Satyapal Singh are panel members.

6.The chief minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma, announced on Tuesday that 133 people from West Bengal have sought refuge in the state due to the panchayat election violence in their native country.

7.On July 8, at least 19 people were killed and dozens were injured amid pervasive allegations of booth capturing, rigging, ballot box looting, heckling of polling officials, gunfire, and bomb attacks. The number of people who perished exclusively on election day is 17, seven more than on election day in 2018 when 12 people were killed.

8.Monday’s re-voting began at 7 a.m. amid strict security, with at least four members of the central forces and state police stationed in each voting booth. Those in voting booth lines at 5 p.m. were permitted to vote, with election officials working overtime to ensure a seamless process.

The letter to Mohan Markam appears to demand that all of the Congress State President’s Chhattisgarh appointments be nullified immediately and that Ravi Ghosh be named Mahamantri of the Congress organization and administration.

Markam told the press that until the new list is produced, the newly appointed officials will carry out their duties in accordance with the law.

Baghel is dissatisfied with the newly elected officials.

On the list of new office bearers issued by the Congress state president two days ago, we find Arun Sisodiya in charge of organization and administration, Ravi Ghosh in charge of Bastar, Amarjeet Chawala in charge of Raipur, Chandrashekhar Shukla in charge of Mohla Manpur, and Yashwardhan Rao in charge of training.

Chief Minister Baghel, according to the sources, voiced his discontent with the list during a meeting convened at the Chief Minister’s official house after the order was distributed. After the discussion was over, Selja rescinded the directive.

After that, everyone in Chhattisgarh state was talking about the conflict, and the cracks in the ruling Congress party were exposed despite repeated promises of unity.

Indifference to the aboriginal communities of the state

Leaders from the competing BJP party have since been relentless in their attacks on the Congress party over the matter. Dr. Raman Singh, a former chief minister of Chhattisgarh, lashed out on Twitter, saying that Baghel’s decision to reverse the order showed his true feelings about tribal state president Mohan Markam, which were previously expressed by his discomfort with the photo of Markam.

Renuka Singh, a minister of state in the central government, has declared that any group lacking in discipline is destined to create anarchy.

At the height of the issue, when the media was trying to interview her, she purposefully avoided them at the airport in Raipur and flew to Delhi.

At the Nationalist Congress Party’s 24th Foundation Day celebration in Mumbai, where his uncle Sharad Pawar and other top party officials were in attendance, he proposed this idea.
I am informed that I don’t act harsh as the head of the opposition,” he continued, opening the door to further speculation.

“I was never interested to work as Leader of Opposition but accepted the role on demand of the party MLAs,” he admitted.

Pawar added that the decision on his request rests with the NCP’s leadership.

“Assign me any post in the party organization, and I will do complete justice to whatever responsibility is entrusted to me,” he continued.

After the MVA administration broke in July 2017 owing to a revolt in Shiv Sena, in which Pawar served as deputy chief minister, he assumed the role of Leader of the Opposition.

Notably, NCP head Sharad Pawar recently appointed his daughter and MP Supriya Sule to the position of working president of the party in Maharashtra. Another president who is actively working for other states is Praful Patel.

Telangana’s chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Prakash Ambedkar’s Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) are two political forces that, according to Ajit Pawar, must be taken seriously.

The Congress-NCP partnership was damaged in 2019 due only to VBA. We need to prevent the vote from being split among parties with similar goals. “We can’t just brush off BRS and VBA,” he said.

Rao, also known as KCR, is actively working to grow the BRS’s support base in Maharashtra and has recently held demonstrations in the Marathwada region to advocate for the election of a “kisan” (farmers’) government. The BRS has also begun recruiting new members in the western state.

The need to fortify the NCP in Mumbai and Vidarbha was another point that Ajit Pawar made.

Spending on Yoga Day activities amounts to crores, he said.

I inquired as to the whereabouts of Deputy Speaker Narhari Zirwal of the (Maharashtra) Assembly on Yoga Day. Hearing this, the audience erupted into laughter. “Zirwal told me he can’t bend because of his big stomach and people might laugh at him,” he remarked.

Newly appointed working president Supriya Sule emphasized the importance of establishing booth committees in her address to NCP leaders and office-bearers.

She also mentioned having senior MLAs who were also ministers train candidates in five or six constituencies.

Leaders should travel across the state. The Baramati representative stressed the need for transparency on party positions on key issues.

Sule also mentioned the Uniform Civil Code, adding that a conversation cannot be had or an opinion formed until a draft is completed.

She claimed that once Article 370 was revoked, tourism in Kashmir grew.

However, there is a lack of information regarding the total amount of money brought into the UT or the number of people from outside of Kashmir who have purchased property there. For what reason is Parliament still approving the budget for Kashmir? Inquired she.

Sule campaigned for a quota system to protect minority groups including the Muslim, Dhangar, Lingayat, and Marathas.

Jayant Patil, president of the state’s NCP, argued that the recent pattern of communal violence in Maharashtra may be traced back to places where the BJP is less powerful.

He claimed these occurrences were planned in order to sow discord and splinter the electorate.

Ajit Pawar and Zirwal, he said, should have been at the Yoga Day celebration at Vidhan Bhavan.

“I’ve seen pictures of people who are larger than you doing Yoga. At the very least, he said, you could have gone to watch the leaders of the ruling alliance do some yoga poses.

NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal claimed, “Had there been able leadership in 2014, the Congress-NCP would have still been in power,” a veiled jab at senior Congress leader and former chief minister Prithviraj Chavan. They had traveled all the way from Delhi to bring down the UPA government.

A letter to political parties dated May 7 stated, “No political party or candidate or other organization or person shall publish any advertisement in the print media on poll day and one day prior to poll day unless the contents of political advertisement are pre-certified by them from the MCMC committee at the State/District level, as the case may be.”

Sunday, ECI held all main local newspapers in the state accountable for all matters, including advertisements that appeared in their publications.

Citing the Press Council of India’s standards for journalistic conduct, the ECI stated in a letter, “A newspaper editor is responsible for all content, including advertisements.” If liability is being disclaimed, this must be declared in advance.”
The commission informed the political parties that instances of offensive and deceptive advertisements published in print media had previously been brought to its attention.

ECI stated that such advertisements during the final stages of an election taint the entire electoral process.

Chief minister Sukhvinder Singh, along with his wife Kamlesh and two daughters, voted at the Central Tibetan School polling station in Chomta Shimla. Sukhu, a three-time councillor from Chotta Shimla ward prior to his election to the Vidhan Sabha from Naduan, struck an emotional chord on his journey to the school, where he met with shopkeepers and drank tea at a stall.

Education minister Rohit Thakur and Neeraj Nayyar Chamba, as well as legislator Neeraj Nayyar, and Congress candidate Surrender Chauhan, a close assistant, also accompanied him.

“It’s a pleasure to vote for a man who used to paste my posters on the wall,” Sukhu reminisced, recalling his youth. “I used to frequent stores with my acquaintances.

In the meantime, former Union Minister Anand Sharma voted in his native Bharari constituency.

In the meantime, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) raised significant questions about the voting of Congress leaders. “Sukhu has also contested elections from Naduan, so why should he vote from Shimla now?” asked Suresh Bhardwaj, a former urban development minister and four-time lawmaker.

Additionally, the BJP questioned the use of electronic voting machines (EVM) in the Chotta Shimla ward. Former CM and opposition leader Jai Ram Thakur commented on the matter, stating, “To win the election at any cost, the Congress has now resorted to hooliganism.”

Thakur alleged irregularities in the Chotta Shimla and Kangnadhar constituencies, adding, “I’ve brought this matter to the attention of the state election commissioner and am awaiting his response.”

In the meantime, the state president of the BJP, Rajeev Bindal, shared a screenshot of the state election commission’s website purportedly displaying a reordering of candidates in one of the divisions.

Aditya Negi, deputy commissioner of Shimla, stated regarding the election, “In general, the election was peaceful; there were no violent incidents.” Voting was delayed by rain in the morning, but picked up in the evening.”

There are 102 candidates vying for election. There are 93,920 registered electors in Shimla’s 34 wards.

“The Prime Minister and Company refuse to discuss the scam-ridden ’40 Percent BJP Sarkara’ and are solely searching for lame excuses to polarize the election. For Modi ji and the BJP, every election is about religious divisions rather than addressing the fundamental issues of nauseating corruption, back-breaking price hikes, rampant unemployment, an ugly and unacceptable concentration of wealth, and a pervasive atmosphere of hatred, charged Congress spokesman Randeep Surjewala.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi ridiculed Congress after the party’s manifesto pledged to ban the right-wing organization Bajrang Dal, stating that the party intended to imprison Lord Hanuman or Bajrangbali.

PM Modi had stated, “They (Congress) had previously imprisoned Lord Ram, and now they wished to imprison those who chant “Jai Bajrang Bali.” It is unfortunate for the country that the Congress had issues with Lord Ram and now has issues with those who exclaim “Jai Bajrang Bali.”

“Both the Constitution and the law are unambiguous: any person or organization promoting hatred or animosity must be prosecuted in accordance with the law. Prime Minister and Chief Minister are obligated to observe “RAJ DHARMA,” but they refuse to do so, Surjewala added.

The Congress spokesperson continued, “Lord Hanuman represents piety, Lord Hanuman represents devotion to reverence and duty, and Lord Hanuman represents service and sacrifice. To compare Lord Hanuman to any individual or organization is an insult, and the Prime Minister has wounded the feelings and sentiments of millions of Hanuman devotees.”

The Congress also demanded an apology from Prime Minister Modi. Karnataka will hold elections on 10 May, and tabulation will occur on 13 May.

Prime Minister & Company refuse to speak about scam ridden #40PercentBJPSarkara and are merely looking for lame duck excuses to polarise the election.

Saturday morning, Modi flew in from New Delhi and landed in Bidar. Before departing for a rally in Bengaluru, he spoke at public assemblies in Humnabad, Bidar, the district headquarters of Vijayapura, and Kudachi, Belagavi district.

At a public rally in Bidar, he stated, “Someone has compiled a catalog of these insults against me and sent it to me. To date, Congress members have verbally assaulted me 91 times in various ways. Congress would not be in such a pitiful state if its members had focused on good governance and boosting the morale of its employees instead of squandering time on this dictionary of abuses.

The Prime Minister accused the Congress of also mistreating the dominant Lingayat community in Karnataka’s upcoming election, adding that the party had also mistreated BR Ambedkar and VD Savarkar.

“The Congress despises anyone who speaks about the common man, exposes their corruption, or assaults their self-centered politics. The hatred of such individuals by Congress will become permanent. In this election as well, the Congress has begun to verbally abuse me,” Modi said.

“I am not the only person to have been attacked in this manner. “Last election they ran a campaign ‘Chowkidar chor hai’, then they said ‘Modi Chor’, then they said ‘OBC community are chor,’ and now, just as the election season in Karnataka has begun, they have the audacity to call my Lingayat brothers and sisters ‘chor’,” he said.

Three days prior to the May 10 election, Modi will speak at at least 19 rallies in Karnataka.

Modi, speaking at a rally in Vijayapuara, stated that the Congress diverted development funds and ignored the farmers. “Congress has never helped the poor and people of Karnataka; they have only robbed them.” Congress redirected the Vikas fund to intermediaries while ignoring the plight of farmers. The state’s women and daughters suffered greatly under the Congress administration. “However, the BJP administration empowered them and altered their lives by providing assistance,” he said.

“The BJP administration has prioritized all classes, including the impoverished, Dalit, destitute, and disabled. The economically and socially disadvantaged are protected under the BJP administration. The government has worked to provide the poor with sustenance and shelter. In Karnataka, there are nine lakh such families who, after several generations, recently moved into their first pucca home,” Modi said.

In his public address in Belagavi, Modi stated that the marginalized segments of society suffered losses during the Congress administration. “During the period of congressional corruption, there were only cons. Due to this, our Dalits, tribals, and people from backward societies suffered a tremendous loss. Sincere efforts are made by the BJP on behalf of the impoverished, Dalit, backward, and Banjara communities. We work day and night for these segments of society, but Congress has no interest in your advancement. Congress is merely performing the task of denigrating Modi. Modi stated that the Congress despises anyone who works for Dalits and backwards.

Modi concluded a busy day of electioneering with a massive roadshow in north Bengaluru, which attracted a massive audience. Modi, who flew into the city from Belagavi at 5 p.m. after holding his third public event of the day, travelled in a vehicle that was specially designed.

Numerous individuals crowded both sides of the road to catch a glimpse of the prime minister and to present him with bouquets. Dollu Kunita, a popular drum performance, was performed by a troupe of artists along the route, which was festooned with BJP banners, festoons, and posters. The 5,3-kilometer roadshow traversed various locations in north Bengaluru, such as Magadi Road, Nice Road Junction, and Sumanahalli.

In response to the Prime Minister’s remarks, Jairam Ramesh, general secretary of the Congress, stated that he has been playing the victim card in Karnataka because “he leaves the dirty tricks to Shah and Yogi to polarize.” “The first day of the PM’s campaigning in Karnataka is a tale of three DEs. 1. Twin Engine 2. DEspair DEsperation 3. Ramesh remarked that his speeches were filled with the phrase “Only Nataka” but offered nothing concrete for the people of Karnataka.

“As expected, Prime Minister Modi began his long-delayed Karnataka campaign by playing the victim card, pleading for a discredited so-called ‘double engine’ sarkar, and denigrating the Congress. These are, without a doubt, his worn-out talking points, as he delegates dirty tricks to Shah and Yogi to polarize the electorate,” the Congress leader said.
