Illegal B'deshis damads: Giriraj; BJP spreading lies, says JMM

"Instead of taking steps to check the illegal migration of Bangladeshis, the govt is welcoming them with open arms and treating them as damads," said Singh.
The minister, who was on a visit to the city on Monday to attend a college function, said that Hemant Soren wants to make Jharkhand a model of present-day West Bengal.
"He (Hemant) is following Mamata Banerjee and will turn Jharkhand into (a second) Bengal, while Mamata is on the way to make Bengal a second Bangladesh," said the BJP leader.
Claiming that 13 districts in the state are witnessing an increasing change in the demography due to the growing population of illegal Bangladeshis, the minister said that former CM
was compelled to quit JMM on discovering the stark reality about the demographic changes in the state.
"Champai Soren joined BJP to prevent Jharkhand from becoming Bengal," Giriraj said.
Jamai tolas are rapidly increasing in the state with the patronage of the tribal CM.
The indigenous community population will not exist if unauthorised migration continues in the state, the minister further said.
The MP from Begusarai in Bihar said that the NDA will form the govt in his home state under the leadership of Nitish Kumar in the upcoming assembly elections.
Hitting back, JMM MLA Samir Mohanty said, "BJP leaders are experts in spreading canard. Bangladeshi illegal immigrants' infiltration into the state is an unfounded allegation. The minister should rather question Union home minister Amit Shah on how people from Bangladesh are infiltrating into India despite security on the international border being so tight."

Shettar demands resignation of CM, DCM based on rampant corruption charges
Belagavi: Lok Sabha member and former chief minister of Karnataka , Jagadish Shettar , said that corruption is rampant in the Congress govt. "The ruling party's MLAs and ministers are expressing dissatisfaction over this. There is no money for development works," he said and demanded that chief minister Siddaramaiah and deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar should take moral responsibility and resign from power. Speaking to media in Belagavi on Monday, Shettar launched a scathing attack on the state govt over its administrative stance and the statements of MLAs and ministers. "The Upper Krishna Project requires Rs 50,000 crore for its third phase. If this project is completed in phases, thousands of hectares of land will be irrigated, benefiting farmers. However, the Upper Krishna Project was completely ignored by the govt. Thousands of crores of rupees are being spent on guarantee schemes, but no funds are being released for any other work. Even the ruling party's MLAs are extremely unhappy about this," he pointed out. "Corruption is rampant in the state govt's administration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo It is not known when the disgruntled Congress MLAs will leave the party. So this govt has no life and is certain to fall soon," he predicted. "The BJP no longer needs Operation Lotus. MLAs who are fed up with the Congress are considering leaving the party on their own," he said and added that there are many leaders in the Congress who admire Prime Minister Modi's political polarisation leadership, and it would not be surprising if political consolidation takes place in the future. CT Ravi seeks minister Zameer's resignation Speaking to the media on Monday, legislative council member CT Ravi said that the MLAs of that party have expressed dissatisfaction against the corruption in the state govt's rule. This dissatisfaction is not a private matter. This should be investigated under the leadership of the working judge. Before this, he said, minister Zameer Ahmed should resign. "There is no Congress without corruption. There is no corruption without Congress. The govt seems to think that giving guarantee schemes is akin to a license for corruption. If it thought so, it should have implemented rate cards in all departments, he said. Raju Kage is not a BJP MLA. He himself said that not a single paisa of work has been done by the govt. The price hike after the Congress govt came to power is a big deal. Work announcements are made. Work orders are not made. MLA Raju Kage has spoken the truth. You have three more years. Your own party is accused of corruption, you have no morals to continue in power, he lashed out.

Ahead of CZC meet, Shah accorded warm welcome in PM constituency
1 2 3 4 Varanasi: Led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath , scores of BJP workers accorded a warm welcome to union home minister Amit Shah in Varanasi on Monday. Shah is in the city to attend the Central Zonal Council meet on Tuesday. Jubilant BJP supporters gathered along the road from the airport to the Varanasi highway to welcome the home minister. When the fleet of Shah started progressing towards the highway from the airport, the leaders and workers from Pindra, Sevapuri, and Rohaniya assembly areas, who represent five rural assembly constituencies of the district, showered rose petals amidst chanting of slogans like Har Har Mahadev. BJP leaders and supporters had gathered on both sides of the roads at Gilat Bazar and showered flower petals to welcome Shah. When Shah's fleet reached Lahurabir, the party workers, especially from the City South assembly, started blowing conch shells and playing damrus amidst flower petal showering. This scene continued till Shah's fleet reached the Kaal Bhairav temple after crossing the Maidagin area. Shah and Yogi kept greeting the people and party supporters by joining or waving hands. During his stay at the Kaal Bhairav temple, Shah performed Aarti of the deity and sought blessings. Kashi region unit president Dilip Singh Patel said that party workers expressed gratitude to Shah for giving the honour to the city for hosting the CZC meet. After the G20 meeting, getting the opportunity to host the CZC meet is a matter of pride for the city as it is the first meeting of the zonal council, which is being organised in any non-state capital city, said the BJP leader. From the Kaal Bhairav temple, Shah reached Hotel Taj to host dinner for Tuesday's CZC meet participants, including Yogi, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami, Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav, and Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai, who had already arrived before Shah reached Varanasi. Two ministers from each state and around 100 senior officers from different ministries and departments, who will take part in the proposed meeting, also attended the dinner. In view of the stay and movement of VIPs, three-layered security arrangements were ensured by police officials by deploying around 5,000 police and paramilitary personnel. Additional forces had already arrived by Sunday evening and, following detailed briefing, they were deployed for security exercises, crowd control, and ensuring strict implementation of traffic diversions planned on the routes of movement of VIPs.

"Terrorism is an enemy of humanity": BJP's Tarun Chugh on 1985 Kanishka bombing
Munster [Ireland], June 23 (ANI): BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Monday said that the Indian delegation paid tribute at the memorial for the victims of the 1985 Air India Kanishka bombing on its 40th anniversary, and said that the tragedy served as a lesson that terrorism is a threat to humanity and must be fought against collectively. Speaking to ANI, Chugh said, 'Today, under the leadership of Union Minister Hardeep Puri, the Indian delegation paid tributes at the memorial of Kanishka bombing victims. This incident was very disturbing for us and has taught a lesson to the world that terrorism is an enemy of humanity, and we need to fight against it together.' 'Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bharat has taken a 'sankalp' (pledge_ to fight against terrorism so that humanity can be saved,' he said. Air India Flight 182, operating on the Montreal-London-Delhi-Mumbai route, on 23 June 1985, disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean as a result of an explosion from a bomb planted by Canada-based terrorists. The incident happened en route from Montreal to London. The remnants of the aircraft fell into the sea off the coast of Ireland, killing all 329 people on board, including 268 Canadian citizens, 27 British citizens, and 22 Indian citizens. Earlier in the day, Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, remembered victims of the Air India Kanishka Bombing on the 40th Anniversary and called on the international community to unite against terrorism. Speaking at the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the Air India Flight 182 (Kanishka) bombing in Ahakista, Cork, Ireland, Puri said, 'The world needs to come together - not only in isolated episodes of solemn mourning such as these, but in collective, proactive efforts to combat terrorism. 'Recalling the tragedy of June 23, 1985, when Air India Flight 182 was destroyed mid-air by a bomb planted by Canada-based terrorists, killing all 329 on board, including over 80 children, Puri said the tragedy was not an accident but a 'deliberate, heinous act carried out by fringe elements seeking to divide India.' The Minister stressed that terrorism is not an issue of the past but a present-day threat that continue to endanger innocent lives across the world. 'India has suffered the scourge of terrorism for decades -- from Jammu and Kashmir to Punjab to Mumbai. Time and again, our people have endured bombings, assassinations, and atrocities,' he said, while noting that countries across the world are grappling with this problem as he highlighted that global terrorism-related deaths increased by 22 per cent in 2024. Calling upon the Government of Canada to join India in countering this shared threat, Puri said,' Canada is a valued partner and friend. We share vibrant cultural and economic relations. India and Canada are bound by democratic traditions.' He urged deeper collaboration between the two nations through intelligence sharing, counter-radicalisation efforts, and the disruption of terror financing. 'India stands ready to do more. Our security agencies, intelligence apparatus, and diplomatic channels are fully committed to partnering with the world to ensure that such tragedies are never repeated,' he said. Puri also thanked the people of Ahakista and the Irish government for their compassion in the aftermath of the 1985 tragedy and said, 'They opened their homes and hearts to grieving families--an act of humanity that continues to inspire.' He further noted that the unique friendship forged between India and Ireland in the wake of the disaster has blossomed into strong bilateral ties, with trade reaching nearly USD 16 billion in 2023. The Minister reiterated India's unwavering resolve to honour the memory of the victims by striving for global peace and security. 'Let today's commemoration be a united message--those who spread hate and terror will never prevail over humanity, democracy, and friendship.' The ceremony was attended by Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin, Canadian Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree, local Irish officials, first responders, and families of victims, all coming together in solemn remembrance.
