BJP instigating conflicts, engaging in negative politics: Akhilesh
Kanpur:
Samajwadi Party
chief
Akhilesh Yadav
on Wednesday again condemned the tonsuring of a non-Brahmin Katha Vachak in Etawah by a group of men after finding out their caste. He said PDA scholars are being stopped from narrating spiritual stories.
Speaking to reporters in Farrukhabad, he said such Dalit persecution would cease when SP will form govt.
The SP chief claimed that oppression of backward classes, Dalits, and minorities has reached unprecedented peak under the BJP govt.
He accused the BJP of instigating conflicts along religious and caste lines and engaging in negative politics.
Yadav was in Farrukhabad to attend the 13th day rituals of late Samajwadi Party leader and former MP Chhote Singh Yadav.
He said BJP govt in Uttar Pradesh is laying the groundwork for an "old emergency," asserting that an "undeclared emergency" is currently in effect across the country.
He alleged that "discrimination based on caste and religion is rampant under the BJP's rule, and that inflation and corruption have reached their peak."
Drawing a parallel to the Emergency that followed Jaiprakash Narayan's anti-corruption movement, he said, "At that time, there was a declared Emergency, but the BJP govt has imposed an undeclared Emergency this time."

Siddaramaiah announces ₹50-crore grant for constituencies
With rising discontent within the Congress legislature over alleged inadequate development funds, chief minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday announced a ₹ 50 crore grant for each assembly constituency, aiming to defuse tensions among party MLAs. The funds are expected to be released in July, and officials have been instructed to prioritise works based on legislators' recommendations, said a leader in the know of the development. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday announced a ₹ 50 crore grant for each assembly constituency, aiming to defuse tensions among party MLAs (File photo) The move follows a series of public outbursts from senior Congress leaders, including BR Patil, NY Gopalakrishna, Belur Gopalakrishna and Raju Kage, who flagged slow project execution, inadequate bureaucratic responsiveness, and underwhelming infrastructure development in their constituencies. To address these issues directly, the chief minister will soon begin daily breakfast meetings with small groups of MLAs to hear grievances and resolve them, the leader quoted above said. Siddaramaiah on Wednesday evening met disgruntled Congress MLAs BR Patil and Raju Kage after returning from Delhi. According to officials, housing minister BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan was also present at the meeting, in the wake of Patil's allegation. The leader quoted above said that the chief secretary has asked all departments to act promptly on requests made by MLAs, particularly those concerning constituency-level development, while maintaining legal compliance. Basavaraj Rayareddy, economic advisor to the CM, acknowledged that implementation delays had tested the patience of legislators but rejected the suggestion of a rebellion. Speaking in New Delhi, he said: 'Siddaramaiah, who also holds the finance portfolio, has stabilised the state's financial condition over the past two years. The frustration among MLAs is about slow implementation — not opposition to the chief minister.' Rayareddy attributed current constraints to policy lapses under the previous BJP-led administration, including irregular contract allocations and delayed fund releases. BR Patil recently accused officials of accepting bribes in public housing projects. This prompted a strong response from RDPR and IT/BT minister Priyank Kharge, who said Patil could have addressed his concerns with senior leadership instead of going public. 'Patil is a senior leader and I respect his ideology, but such issues should be discussed internally,' he said. Referring to a leaked phone call in which an official denies Patil's claims, he added: 'Legal action will follow if there's evidence of wrongdoing.' Defending the political dynamics of constituency job allocations, Priyank said it was natural for local residents to expect employment when major government institutions like the Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences are set up in their regions. Kagwad MLA Raju Kage, another leader who criticised the government citing a 'collapsed administration' and lack of funds and hinted at resignation over delay in implementation of projects in his constituency. Responding to this, Priyank remarked, 'Every MLA expects more money for their constituency — what's wrong with that?' Meanwhile, home minister G Parameshwara said that the chief minister would engage with all dissatisfied legislators. 'These are constituency-specific issues, not state-level disagreements. Siddaramaiah will resolve them,' he said. Parameshwara revealed that MLAs have already been directed to prepare action plans for projects worth ₹ 50 crore in their segments. 'Even I am preparing such a plan. But what's the use if we don't have funds?' he asked. He also acknowledged complaints about inaccessible ministers and said the chief minister would take corrective steps. When asked whether the Congress high command had instructed the CM to speak to disgruntled legislators, Parameshwara said, 'I am not aware of what transpired at the meeting or whether such instructions have been given. ' Reacting to the allegations of insufficient funds, BJP MLC CT Ravi on Wednesday demanded the resignation of housing minister Zameer Ahmed Khan, alleging corruption in his department. 'Whether it's his PA or departmental officials, Zameer should take responsibility. He must resign and face the investigation. Is he afraid of going to jail?' Ravi said at a press conference in Mangaluru.

BJP govt staging drama to hide its failures: Kharge
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party is staging a drama of observing 'Samvidhan Hatya Diwas' to mark the Emergency to hide governance failures, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said on Wednesday, arguing that the Constitution faced a threat from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge addressing a press conference at Indira Bhawan in New Delhi. (HT PHOTO) Other Opposition parties such as the Trinamool Congress and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) joined the attack against the BJP. 'Modi is raking up Emergency after 50 years to hide his failures. If there is any threat to the Constitution, it is from you,' Kharge said in a special press conference. 'You have brought in an undeclared emergency,' he added. The Congress deliberately held the press conference at Indira Bhavan -- its new party headquarters -- to put up a brave face against the BJP's campaign marking 50 years of the Emergency, which was clamped by then prime minister Indira Gandhi on June 25, 1975. 'Those (BJP-RSS) people who are talking of Samvidhan bachao are now raking up the Emergency after 50 years. It was something people had forgotten and they are now raking it up to hide their own failures,' Kharge said. 'These people failed in governance and their failure is such that people are concerned over inflation, the government has no answer to unemployment, corruption and economic failure. To hide their lies and failure they have staged this drama,' he added. Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said that the BJP's Emergency campaign 'reflects its guilty conscience' while Kharge maintained that 'a government which does not practice tolerance, fraternity, liberty, should not teach us these things.' The Congress president also alleged the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh did not participate in India's freedom movement and quipped that people who didn't contribute for India's independence or in the making of the Constitution were now 'claiming to be its guardians and protectors.' Kharge also said that the country has moved ahead, and Indira Gandhi herself had supported the Morarji Desai government's decision to overturn constitutional amendments made during the Emergency. The Congress chief also took the opportunity to hit out at the Election Commission. 'The EC has become a puppet in the hands of the government. Like we have puppets that are made to do things to entertain. You have a puppet and you (Modi) claim that you are winning elections. You are not winning elections your machine is winning,' Kharge alleged. He also took potshots at the PM and quipped that Modi is a 'Vishwaguru' who cannot solve his country's problems. 'How ironic that @BJP4India observes #SamvidhanHatyaDiwas when, for the last 11 years under PM @narendramodi, India has been living through an UNDECLARED EMERGENCY,' the TMC posted on X. It said that one man and one party had 'replaced the will of 1.4 billion people'. 'History has been distorted beyond recognition, laws are passed without debate, scrutiny, or has reduced itself to BJP's rubber stamp,' the party posted on X. Kerala chief minister Pinarai Vijayan said, 'The declaration of Emergency in 1975 was not a spontaneous event, but the culmination of tyrannical tendencies that surfaced in independent India. 50 years have gone by, and today we're facing an undeclared emergency under the Sangh Parivar regime, enforced through majoritarianism. Haunting memories of the Emergency should empower us to fight against the oppressive forces that challenge the essence of our democracy today.' BJP leader Sambit Patra defended his party and said, 'The sarcastic remark made today by Kharge on the Emergency is also a mockery of democracy. He questions why a 50-year-old event is being remembered. Mallikarjun Kharge himself says that those who were not part of the freedom struggle should not speak on the subject—so how can he decide that the BJP must not speak about the Emergency?' 'How can Mallikarjun Kharge decide who participated in the freedom struggle and who didn't? Every family in this country had at least one member who was directly or indirectly a part of that movement. Now, he should explain where Sonia Gandhi's family was involved in the freedom struggle.'

Donald Trump confirm Iran nuclear talks next week after 'obliterating' nuclear sites
The ceasefire between Israel and Iran entered its second day on Wednesday. President Donald Trump said the United States would 'talk to them next week, with Iran.' He made the announcement during a press conference at the NATO summit in The Hague, where he called the 12-day war 'over.' 'We may sign an agreement, I don't know,' Trump said. "The way I look at it, they fought, the war is done." Iran has not confirmed any meeting. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei instead warned that Iran must first assess whether talks were sincere or "part of their tactics to make more problems for the region and for my country." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AI 2.0: The $15.7T Opportunity Starts Now Fat Tail Daily Learn More Ceasefire after missed meeting, massive strikes US and Israeli officials said Iran was due to meet White House envoy Steve Witkoff on 15 June in Oman. But after intelligence suggested Tehran would not attend, Israeli officials told the US, "we have no reason to wait and we are launching the attack." Over the following 12 days, Israel and the US targeted Iranian military and nuclear sites. Mossad chief David Barnea credited the CIA and Israeli agents for enabling the air force to "strike the Iranian nuclear project, establish aerial superiority in Iranian skies and reduce the missile threat." Live Events Iran responded by launching missiles at a US base in Qatar. It later agreed to a ceasefire without publicly outlining terms. Trump claims nuclear programme 'blown up to Kingdom come' Trump insisted at the NATO summit, "We destroyed the nuclear. In other words, that's destroyed. I said, 'Iran will not have nuclear.' Well, we blew it up." He dismissed a US intelligence assessment that the strikes had only set Iran's nuclear programme back by a few months. Instead, he said, "It's called 'obliteration'." Iran acknowledged damage. "Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, that's for sure," Baghaei told Al Jazeera, though he declined to elaborate. He added, "Iran is determined to preserve that right under any circumstances." The Israel Atomic Energy Commission said the strikes had "set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons by many years," without providing evidence. UN watchdog frozen out, France urges dialogue As a response to the strikes, Iran's parliament voted to fast-track a bill suspending cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf criticised the agency for failing "to even pretend to condemn the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities." "For this reason, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran will suspend cooperation with the IAEA until security of nuclear facilities is ensured," he said. IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said Iran remained legally bound under the Non-Proliferation Treaty. He told France 2: "During a war, inspections are not possible. But now that hostilities have ceased... we resume our activities as soon as possible." French President Emmanuel Macron, who spoke several times with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian during the war, has also called for Iran to return to negotiations. No guarantees, but channels remain open Witkoff said the current quiet had created room for diplomacy. "We're already talking to each other, not just directly, but also through interlocutors," he told Fox News. "The proof is in the pudding. No one's shooting at each other. It's over." Still, an Israeli official told reporters the ceasefire was limited to "quiet for quiet," with no broader deal in place. Trump said he was open to signing a document but didn't think it necessary. "I don't care if I have an agreement or not," he said. "If we got a document, it wouldn't be bad." Secretary of State Marco Rubio added that Iran must negotiate "directly with the United States, not through some third country or fourth country process." Casualties mount, covert war acknowledged Iran's government reported 606 dead and 5,332 wounded. Human Rights Activists, a group based in Washington, put the toll higher at 1,054 killed and 4,476 wounded. Of the dead, 417 were civilians and 318 were security forces. Israel recorded at least 28 fatalities and more than 1,000 injuries. The conflict also included covert operations. Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Israel's chief of staff, confirmed that Israeli commandos operated "deep inside enemy territory." In the aftermath, Iran executed six prisoners accused of spying for Israel. Three were hanged on Wednesday. Trump eyes broader peace, shifts NATO stance Trump also used the summit to express optimism on the Israel-Hamas conflict. "I think great progress is being made on Gaza," he said. He met NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who told him, "You are a man of strength and also a man of peace." NATO members, excluding Spain and Slovakia, agreed to raise defence spending to 5% of GDP. Trump called it "The Hague defence commitment." He also met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. "We appreciate the attention and the readiness to help bring peace close," Zelenskyy wrote on X. Trump said he now supports Article 5, calling NATO no longer a "rip-off." As he prepares to return to Washington, questions linger. Iran has not confirmed next week's talks. The IAEA remains locked out. And while the ceasefire holds, nothing is guaranteed.
