BJP lambasts Congress for spreading fake Pakistan media reports on Russia
Thiruvananthapuram, May 31 (UNI) Kerala BJP Social Media Incharge Anoop Antony Joseph slammed the Congress party in Kerala for spreading fake news by Pakistan media through their social media handle on 'X' saying that Russia expands collaboration with Pakistan. "Though Russia immediately dismissed the fake propaganda by the Pakistan media, the Congress party in Kerala spreads Pak propaganda and turns into its loudest mouthpiece within India," the BJP leader said in a message on Saturday. "Pak media planted a lie about Russia backing Pakistan. Russia immediately slammed it as fake and called it an attempt to undermine relations with India," he said. "Another day, another Fake News amplified by the Congress. But, they didn't wait, they were the first to amplify it. Every time Pakistan spreads propaganda, the Congress turns into its loudest mouthpiece within India," he lambasted. Earlier, responding to the Pakistan media reports on the matter, Russia dismissed the fake reports on closer ties with Pakistan and termed it as an attempt to undermine relations with India. Pakistani media recently reported that Moscow and Islamabad are working on expanding industrial collaboration by establishing new steel mills in the country in a bid to revive their cooperation. The reports also warn that the economic ties could open the door to deeper military and tech collaboration. UNI DS BD

Over 28 lakh farmers in Kerala get Rs 6000 annually: BJP
Thiruvananthapuram, May 31 (UNI) Over 28 lakh farmers in Kerala receive Rs 6,000 annually in three installments as direct income support under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme, Kerala BJP President Rajeev Chandrasekhar has said. "So far, each eligible farmer has received a total of Rs 38,000 through regular installments, providing them with crucial financial assistance," the BJP state chief said in a message. While the Pinarayi Vijayan government in Kerala turned its back on farmers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stood with them, delivering consistent, direct support to empower our small-scale farmers, he claimed. "Both the LDF and UDF ran misleading campaigns to block the benefits of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme from reaching our farmers. But thanks to the transparency of direct benefit transfers, farmers received their rightful support without any room for misappropriation," he added. UNI DS ARN

Delhi Confidential: Performance Report
The first 100 days in office has always been a marker in the BJP to assess the performance of a leader. But former Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar — who had installed a countdown clock in his ministerial chamber to meet his targets — seems to be setting new standards. His team has prepared a report listing what all he has done in the first 50 days as the Kerala BJP president. The report says he has appointed over 600 district office-bearers in 30 organisational districts, held 30 district conventions with the participation of 20,000 office-bearers, formed 8,500 booth committees comprising 85,000 booth workers, appointed 1 lakh ward-level workers and conducted 1,400 training camps to train 1 lakh workers for the local body elections. Carry On The Central Public Works Department, which is constructing some of the government's key projects, including the Central Vista redevelopment project, has been without a full-time Director General for six months now. And it looks like the wait will go on. In an unusual move, the government had given the additional charge of the post to an Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in November last year. This week, the Ministry has extended the arrangement for another three months, as the initial six-month period ended. One-Year Rule Besides spreading the word on Operation Sindoor through all-party delegations abroad and Tiranga yatras at home, the government is already preparing to mark one year of its third term, which falls on June 9. Over the last few weeks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken a series of review meetings with various ministries on their key schemes. To mark one year of Modi 3.0, as per sources, Union ministers will hold a series of press conferences and also use social media to highlight the achievements in the last one year, as a continuation of 11 years of the Modi government.
