RJD creating false impression on Waqf Board Act for Muslim votes: BJP's Samrat Chaudhary
Patna, June 30 (UNI) Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Samrat Chaudhary said today that the RJD was trying to create a false impression in order to get Muslim votes in the state assembly elections to be held in October-November this year. Chaudhary said that new Waqf Board Act was introduced for protecting the rights of poor Muslims but RJD was trying to mislead them to get minorities' votes in the Bihar assembly elections. "RJD has nothing to do with interests of Muslims and the party is only trying to get maximum votes from them in the upcoming assembly elections," he added. The Deputy Chief Minister said that RJD leaders had torn copies of the Women's Reservation Bill in parliament when the erstwhile Vajpayee government had placed it in the House. The Narendra Modi government had ultimately got it passed in both Houses of parliament, he pointed out. Chaudhary said that there was complete lawlessness in Bihar during the RJD regime and a large number of businessmen were forced to migrate to other states of the country. Even girls used to get frightened while going to college and people used to remain behind closed doors after sunset, he pointed out. "The Nitish Kumar government has given 50 percent reservation to women in Panchayati Raj institutions and 35 percent reservation in government services, making them empowered," the Deputy Chief Minister said, adding that the cycle and uniform schemes rolled out by the government helped in greater enrollment of students in schools. Pasmanda Muslims had also been given reservation in government services in Bihar, he stated. UNI KKS RN

Surjewala visits state to collect money: Ravi
Udupi/Shivamogga: MLC alleged that Randeep Singh Surjewala, Congress general secretary in-charge of Karnataka, visited the state not to listen to people's problems but to collect money. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "Giving money is a Congress tradition. During the Mughal rule, there was a system of giving money. If the Congress high command is not paid, those in power lose their positions. To stay in power, money must be given, and he toured the state for that purpose. The people will teach Congress leaders a proper lesson," Ravi said on Monday. Regarding Eshwarappa joining BJP, Ravi said he would not comment on someone who was expelled from BJP. Ravi also said there needs to be research on the increasing heart attacks in the state. "Whether it is due to lifestyle, food habits or mental stress, scientific research is necessary. When a mother or infant dies, the health minister is not bothered. Politics should be set aside, and a team of experts should be formed to conduct research and provide a report," Ravi said. On the BJP state president's post, the MLC said the position is not vacant in the state. Ravi also stated that he is not aspiring for any position. Eshwarappa challenges Siddaramaiah on Constitution Former deputy chief minister KS Eshwarappa on Monday challenged CM Siddaramaiah over Constitution. "We should not deviate from the original preamble of the Constitution. Incorporating the terms secular and socialist was inappropriate," he said. Eshwarappa directed three queries to Siddaramaiah: "Who added the words 'secular' and 'socialist' to the Constitution, and when? Did Indira Gandhi add these words during the Emergency?" Eshwarappa said the RSS does not control BJP's decisions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The expelled BJP leader said people from various castes asking him to join the saffron party. "I need to speak with many BJP leaders, and then I'll consider joining the party. I won't join any other party apart from the BJP. Other parties are making offers, saying 'bring your son, what do you need, what should we give your son,'" he claimed.
