BJP releases manifesto for Nilambur development
BJP State president Rajeev Chandrasekhar released the party's election manifesto titled Vikasit Nilambur Ruparekha for the Nilambur Assembly byelection by handing over a copy to magician R.K. Malayath on Sunday.
Mr. Chandrasekhar said that despite voting for the Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) for six decades, the people of Nilambur had not received any benefits of development. He said if organisations like the Jamat-e-Islami and the People's Democratic Party (PDP) gained strength, it would be disastrous for the region.
The manifesto said that if party's candidate Mohan George was elected, the BJP would begin the construction work on the Nilambur-Mysuru railway line in seven months. The manifesto also promised to upgrade the district hospital to a cancer specialty centre and also to undertake the Kozhiode-Nilambur-Gudalur four-lane highway development.
An AI-powered video of the Vikasit Nilambur Ruparekha was also released.
Bharat Dharma Jana Sena (BDJS) district president Girish Mekkad presided over the meeting. BJP leaders P.K. Krishna Das and A.N. Radhakrishnan attended the funciton.

Ludhiana bypoll:
Ludhiana (Punjab) [India], June 15 (ANI): Days ahead of Ludhiana West bypolls, BJP leader and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), saying 'those who cheated and looted Delhi are today looting Punjab.' CM Gupta was campaigning for the BJP candidate, Jiwan Gupta, for the Ludhiana West bye-election scheduled for June 19. AAP has fielded sitting Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora from the seat, which fell vacant after the death of AAP MLA Gurpreet Bassi Gogi. The counting is on June 23. Gupta stated, 'Those who cheated and looted Delhi are today looting Punjab. We will not let this happen. The people of Delhi have sent me to Ludhiana. I have come here to tell the people about all their (AAP) acts, all their stories of corruption.' Her remarks targeted AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, whom she earlier accused of causing spurious liquor deaths in Punjab and burdening the border state with a 'Rs 4 lakh crore debt.' Speaking to ANI, she also lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for ensuring Punjab's security through Operation Sindoor, while slamming the Congress for lacking patriotism. Gupta said, 'These (Congress) people, they neither love the country nor the soil of the country, the Army or the people of the country. Today, Punjab is safe only and only because of PM Narendra Modi.' Earlier in a poll rally, she criticised Kejriwal for colluding with the 'builder mafia' and not having a single 'Punjabi or Sikh minister' in 10 years of AAP government in Delhi. 'There was not a single Punjabi or Sikh minister in 10 years of your tenure in the Delhi government,' she said, and further alleged that AAP's Punjab government is controlled by non-locals like Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain. Meanwhile, AAP's Delhi President Saurabh Bhardwaj on Sunday asked Gupta to clarify if the BJP's new excise policy will privatise liquor shops or not? Bhardwaj, speaking to ANI, said, 'I have a direct question for her (CM Rekha Gupta). BJP objected to the Delhi Excise Policy and claimed that liquor shops had been privatised. Later, the policy was scrapped, and the shops became government-owned again. Rekha Gupta should clarify if she will privatise liquor shops under the new Excise Policy. This will reveal who is in collusion with the liquor mafia. She should answer this.' (ANI)

AAP's Saurabh Bhardwaj challenges Delhi CM Rekha Gupta on liquor shop privatization
New Delhi [India], June 15 (ANI): Delhi Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) President Saurabh Bhardwaj on Sunday challenged Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta to clarify her stance on the privatization of liquor shops under the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) upcoming excise policy. The challenge came in response to Gupta's sharp criticism of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal in Ludhiana, where she accused him of colluding with the 'builder mafia' and failing to curb spurious liquor deaths in Punjab. Speaking to ANI, Bhardwaj said, 'I have a direct question for her (CM Rekha Gupta). BJP objected to the Delhi Excise Policy and claimed that liquor shops had been privatized. Later, the policy was scrapped, and the shops became government-owned again. Rekha Gupta should clarify if she will privatize liquor shops under the new Excise Policy. This will reveal who is in collusion with the liquor mafia. She should answer this.' Earlier in the day, CM Gupta launched a scathing attack on Kejriwal during a public meeting in Ludhiana, Punjab, where she was campaigning for BJP candidate Jiwan Gupta in the Ludhiana West by-election scheduled for June 19. AAP has fielded sitting Rajya Sabha MP Sanjeev Arora as its candidate for the same seat. Addressing a gathering, Gupta said, 'People are dying from spurious liquor, but what are you (Arvind Kejriwal) doing? You are grabbing the land of poor farmers in connivance with the builder mafia. The people of Delhi, who had given you so much support, got a little angry with you, and you came and sat in Punjab... Arvind Kejriwal has hollowed out the state government... Today, you have buried it under a debt of 4 lakh crores due to your wrong policies.' Gupta also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for Operation Sindoor's success and criticised Kejriwal's silence on the operation. She stated, 'Every person in the country was happy with Operation Sindoor... None of the drones (of Pakistan) crossed the Punjab border, which happened under PM Narendra Modi's guidance. But you did not utter a word in its praise... There was not a single Punjabi or Sikh minister in 10 years of your tenure in the Delhi government. The entire Punjab government runs under the command of Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, Bibhav Kumar, and Raghav Chadha. What do they have to do with Punjab?' Earlier, Gupta received a warm welcome from Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) leaders at Sirhind in Fatehgarh Sahib district. (ANI)

‘Huge conspiracy' against Assam since independence: Sarma on Dhubri row
1 2 Guwahati: A 'huge conspiracy' has been going on against the state since independence and eradicating it would require time, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Sunday, while addressing the recent communal tension in Dhubri and the subsequent shoot-on-sight order, post-6 pm, after a piece of meat was reportedly recovered near a place of worship. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a programme in Dibrugarh, Sarma, said, "We have already taken action. Assam is a critical state. People won't stop indulging in anti-national activities just because I issued a warning. This is part of a larger conspiracy that has its roots dating back to the days of independence." So far, over 40 people have been arrested in connection with the incident after Eid on June 7. The CM further said, "So, it won't end with just a warning. It's not that simple. It requires sustained effort, and we must continue working on it." Taking to his X handle, Sarma said Goalpara police had arrested five individuals on Sunday for "allegedly throwing beef near a temple in a deliberate attempt to incite communal tension post Eid-ul-Zuha." "A case has been registered and strict action is being taken to ensure all such elements face the full force of law," wrote Sarma. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo Meanwhile, opposition parties, including Congress, criticised the govt for implementing the shoot-on-sight order. Condemning the CM's directive, the opposition said the incident and subsequent clashes highlighted the the BJP-led govt's intelligence failure. The state's Congress president, Gaurav Gogoi, said, "This entire episode shows the failure of the home department. Why was there no intelligence input? The govt has failed to protect the sanctity of our religious places." He also alleged that RSS has infiltrated every village in Assam ahead of the Assembly polls early next year and is attempting to create enmity between communities. Meanwhile, AIUDF MLA Rafiqul Islam said there was no situation on the ground which could justify a shoot-on-sight order and alleged that the directive selectively targeted one particular community.
