BJP calls Oppn march against SIR ‘anti-democratic'
New Delhi: The BJP on Monday termed the Opposition protest march towards the Election Commission of India's office as 'anti-democratic' and 'meaningless.' The BJP dismissed the allegations, accusing them of creating chaos to mask their political irrelevance. BJP National General Secretary, Arun Singh, said the protest undermined democratic norms. 'The conduct of the Congress and other Opposition MPs is essentially anti-democratic. Important issues can be raised in Zero Hour and Question Hour in Parliament, but they have wasted that time,' Singh said. BJP MP Aparajita Sarangi also dismissed the protest march of the Opposition parties. 'This protest is meaningless. Demonstrations are justified when demands are ignored, but the Election Commission — a constitutional body — was willing to meet them,' she said.

We all have to bow to high command's decisions
Bengaluru: Reactingto Minister for Cooperation K.N. Rajanna's resignation, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar said on Monday that all the leaders and workers bow to the high command's decisions. 'Rajanna is my close friend. We have pursued politics together for 25 years. I am also pained. Nothing can be done; it is a party decision. You all know the context in which this decision has been taken. We all have to bow to the decision of the party high command,' said Shivakumar. He said that he was informed about the decision by the Chief Minister. 'Ministers and MLAs do not come under my jurisdiction. In the case of MLAs, we can issue notices and take minor actions, but the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader controls the legislators,' he claimed. Meanwhile, sources said that Monday's development has strengthened Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar's position within the Congress party over Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Rajanna, a close associate of Siddaramaiah, had openly supported Siddaramaiah while targeting Shivakumar. Rajanna, who was the State Cooperation Minister, was asked to submit his resignation after his remark against the LoP Rahul Gandhi's press conference on the voter fraud. 'If there was voter fraud, the state Congress should have pointed it out much earlier,' he had said. Meanwhile, taking to social media X, BJP State President and MLA B.Y. Vijayendra said that Rajanna, a senior ST leader and Cooperation Minister, was removed from the cabinet for merely speaking the truth - an honest admission which every Kannadiga knows. 'Yet in the Congress party, truth is treated as a threat, especially when it comes from a leader of a marginalised community whose voice they have long tried to silence.' 'This is the true face of Congress, anti-Dalit, anti-ST, anti-democratic and anti-truth. It also exposes the hollowness of Siddaramaiah's claims of championing the AHINDA cause. When leaders from these communities are targeted, he does not defend them. Instead, he bows to the diktats of the Delhi High Command to safeguard his own position as Chief Minister,' said Vijayendra.

BJP urges officials to protect forest land
Khammam: A BJP delegation led by senior leader Namburi Ramalingeswara Rao submitted a memorandum to Additional Collector (Revenue) Srinivasa Reddy on Saturday, demanding an urgent land survey to protect forest lands in Gangaram village of Sattupalli mandal. The delegation alleged that forest lands in Survey Nos. 133, 131 and 40, spread over more than 300 acres, were being illegally encroached upon by a Hyderabad-based real estate developer. According to the BJP, the builder, in collusion with local political leaders, had begun destroying hills and forest areas to facilitate illegal occupation. 'The developer started clearing forested hills with machinery, but retreated after BJP leaders and local farmers strongly protested the move,' said Ramalingeswara Rao, adding that this was not an isolated incident. The BJP leaders expressed concern over what they described as a pattern of illegal encroachments on forest land in the region, allegedly due to inaction by revenue officials. They stressed the need for an immediate and comprehensive government land survey to clearly demarcate and declare forest lands, and to initiate action against encroachers. The delegation further said that with the support of BJP national leader Dr Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy, the matter will soon be brought to the notice of Union Ministers G Kishan Reddy (Coal and Mines), Bandi Sanjay Kumar (Minister of State for Home), and Bhupender Yadav (Environment, Forest and Climate Change).
