BEING A DALIT, HEALTH & PHED MINS DON’T DO MY WORK: BAIRWA

Jaipur: Congress MLA from Kathumar, Babulal Bairwa has opened a front against Health Min Parsadi Lal Meena & PHED Min Mahesh Joshi for not working.

Health Min Parsadi Lal & PHED Min Mahesh Joshi doesn’t do my work. I am a Dalit MLA, maybe that is why Parsadi doesn’t do my work, & I don’t understand any other reason.”

He said that Mahesh Joshi also only bluffs him. “ Health Min’s son is running the dept,” Bairwa told media at PCC HQs, adding that he is senior than Health Min & became MLA before him.

Parsadilal Meena Dr Mahesh Joshi ki, Deepchand Kheria, Babulal Kathumar, Safia Zuber, Sandeep Yadav did not come.

T here is a lot of pressure in the Shiv Sena to choose its new alliance partner. In fact, when Sanjay Raut came out of jail, the same evening, one of the biggest industrialists associated with BJP reached Matoshree. It is said that he had come to Uddhav with a clear message from BJP that ‘Shiv Sena should break its alliance with Congress, as it is not a natural alliance. Word is that it is after this meet that Uddhav has fastened his ties with Prakash Ambedkar’s ‘Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi’. At the same time, coordination between NCP & Congress has also been confirmed. Shiv Sena has made it clear before Congress that in 2024 general polls, even if the alliance of Mahaghadi Vikas remains intact, then Sena will field its candidates on max 26 seats & will leave 16 seats for NCP. Congress will have to be satisfied with these seats.” The BJP is confident that Uddhav will contest 2024 polls in coalition with saffron party. Regarding Eknath Shinde, BJP believes that even though he has brought away MLAs and MPs from Uddhav’s Shiv Sena, but workers have remained in Uddhav’s Shiv Sena, that is why BJP desperately needs Uddhav.

CHANDRASHEKHAR RAO’S ALLERGY TO CONGRESS PARTY

Telangana Chief Minister Chandrashekhar Rao wants to become the new head of the united opposition, but he also wants the Congress to find a place on the platform of his opposition unit. So, he is trying his best that Congress does not have an alliance with JDS in Karnataka assembly elections. More or less, this is also the feeling of Karnataka Congress President DK Shivakumar and about this Rao had two-three rounds of talks with DK. Sources reveal that Rao has also got an opinion poll done for JDS in Mysore region with his own money. This survey shows that JDS is getting maximum number of seats in Mysore region. Congress is here at number two and BJP at number three. Mallikarjun Kharge is in constant touch with Deve Gowda and he had also invited Deve Gowda to visit Jammu and Kashmir on January 30, where he is concluding the first phase of his Rahul Bharat Jodo Yatra. But Deve Gowda, expressing his inability to come there, has definitely sent his best wishes to Rahul.

Interestingly, BJP is in constant touch with Deve Gowda’s son Kumaraswamy and is persuading him to join hands with it. Kumaraswamy is also among those who likes BJP more than Congress.

Bhilwara: PM Narendra Modi gave a political message to the Gurjar community by linking lotus to lord Devnarayan during the programme at Bhilwara’s Malaseri village, the birth of folk deity lord Devnarayan who is revered by the community. Modi left a special impact on the gathering through his speech and got applause. The pandal was completely filled with the crowd and there was a huge crowd of Gurjar community outside as well. Gurjars gathered in large numbers on foot, and in other vehicles. They were waiting for an announcement by PM but no announcement was made. However, Modi has brought Malaseri and Gurjars into the discussions. Many BJP leaders didn’t attend the event.
