Ex MP CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan takes a jibe on Rahul Gandhi

Ex MP CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan takes a jibe on Rahul Gandhi

Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chouhan addressed a Press Conference in Bhopal on March 17.  While addressing the press, Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He said that when Rahul Gandhi should have prepared for the elections, he went on Nyay Yatra and when he should go on Nyay Yatra, he goes on vacation after losing the election, and blames EVMs. He said “Rahul Gandhi is such a captain who doesn’t know when to do what. When he should prepare for the elections, he goes on Nyay Yatra. When he should go on a Nyay Yatra, he takes leave abroad, and after losing the elections, he puts blame on EVMs. Seeing the condition of the Congress, Congress leaders are continuously leaving the party one after another. Even Sonia Gandhi has refused to contest elections, and a backdoor entry has been made for her in the Rajya Sabha elections. When the confidence of the party’s supreme leader is shattered, what will happen to the party can be imagined...”... [Read More]

Citizenship Amendment Act: Hardeep Singh slams those criticizing CAA

PM Modi implemented CAA on March 11. Union Minister for Housing & Urban Affairs, Hardeep Singh Puri took a sharp jibe at the political leaders opposing Citizenship Amendment Act. He said, “There are persecuted minorities in some of our neighbouring countries- Buddhists, Christians, Jains, Hindus, Sikhs, among others... In 1947, the population of Hindus in Pakistan was 24% which stands at 1% today. In erstwhile East Pakistan, there was a certain Hindu population but now there are just 7%. Some of these people who came to India before 2014 are being given a right. The people who are suddenly worried that these few immigrants will take away all jobs and resources need to know that our population is 140 crores and only 1000 people have registered on the portal so far. The number of people who had applied for citizenship under the Citizenship Act of 1955 is also just 4000. What is this completely distorted picture which is being presented? This is not about religion.... [Read More]
