Modi’s hateful campaign failed to

favour BJP: CM M.K. Stalin
Chennai:
Chief Minister M.K.Stalin
has condemned that the
BJP is constantly making
false accusations out of
fear of failure.
The Lok Sabha elections
are nearing their final stag-
es. Out of the 7-phase
elections, 4-phase Lok
Sabha elections have
been completed. After the
completion of the elections
in the southern states, now
the political leaders in the
northern states are active-
ly campaigning. Even after
the election in Tamil Nadu,
political leaders do not fail
to criticize the alternative
parties.
Chief Minister and DMK
President M. K. Stalin
has registered his con-
demnation saying that
Prime Minister Modi is
criticizing the programs
like free bus travel and
monthly allowance for
women in election cam-
paign meetings which are
being implemented in
Tamil Nadu and Karnata-
ka.
In a statement posted on
his X social media page in
this regard, he said that
due to the fear of failure,
Prime Minister Modi can-
not tolerate the success of
the public welfare pro-
grams of a state govern-
ment while holding the
high responsibility of the
Prime Minister.
He mentioned that Modi
forgets that he is a com-
mon Prime Minister for
all Indians and is cam-
paigning to incite conflict
and hatred between
states and on June-4 all
these lies will be broken
and INDIA alliance will
be victorious.
Also, Prime Minister
Modi is defaming the
welfare schemes being
implemented in the oppo-
sition-ruled states be-
causeofthelackofachieve-
ments of the BJP
government in the past ten
years. He opposes the
Vidyal Travel Scheme
which benefits crores of
women every day.
The free bus travel
scheme, which was first
signed and launched after
coming to power, has ben-
efited women in many
ways. However, Prime
Minister Modi is making a
fuss that there is no crowd
in metro trains due to free
travel in buses.
The number of trips in
Chennai Metro, which was
3 crore 28 lakh in 2019, has
increased to 9 crore 11
lakh in 2023, but it has not
decreased as stated by the
Prime Minister. Prime Min-
ister Modi, who stopped
the project by not providing
funds for the second phase
of the Chennai Metro, has
hidden the facts and is put-
ting the blame on the Dawn
Travel Project.
As the Prime Minister
comes from RSS back-
ground with reactionary
right wing ideas
Afraid of women’s ad-
vances. BJP’s divisive
dreams will never work.
Falsehood will be broken
and hatred will disappear.
Chief Minister M.K.Stalin
has mentioned that India
will win the alliance in his
condemnation note.

Salman Khurshid takes exception to

'Congress will bulldoze temple' remark of PM
PATNA:
Former Union minister
Salman Khurshid on Sat-
urday voiced strong dis-
pleasure over Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi's charge
that the Congress, if it came
to power, "will bulldoze the
Ram temple" at Ayodhya.
Addressing a press con-
ference at the Sadaqat
Ashram, the state Con-
gress headquarters, Khur-
shid also reminded Modi
that "the entire nation has
accepted the temple
that was built in accor-
dance with a Supreme
Court verdict".
"The Prime Minister
should remember that the
credit for the construction
of the temple goes not to
him but to the Supreme
Court. God belongs to all,
so do places of worship. It
is unfortunate that the PM
is speaking such lan-
guage", said Khurshid.
The senior Congress
leader, who had held port-
folios like Law and Justice
and Minority Affairs in the
UPA government, added
"Our party believes in the
rule of law. We do not want
to bulldoze any place of
worship".
He also scoffed at allega-
tions made against the
Congress, in recent past,
by Modi like "We will take
away buffaloes of cattle
owners and rob women of
their mangalsutras".

that our manifesto bore the

when did he get to read the

The Congress leader
claimed that allegations of
the PM and other senior
BJP leaders were "proof
that even they have begun
to sense that we are com-
ing to power".
"We are confident of win-
ning the elections, in any
case. Once we come to
power we will fulfil prom-
ises like scrapping of the
Agniveer scheme and 10
kg free ration to the poor.
The BJP has been boast-
ing about its five kg ration
scheme for which credit
goes to the Right to Food Act
that was passed under the
UPA rule", said Khurshid.

BJP is planning to ban RSS: Uddhav Thackeray Gujarat BJP appoints migrant workers
MUMBAI:
Shiv Sena (UBT)
chief Uddhav
Thackeray on Sat-
urday claimed that
the Bharatiya
Janata Party was
planning to ban its
ideological par-
ent, the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh
(RSS), after winning a third
term in power.
Speaking at his last rally
here before the campaign-
ing for the Lok Sabha elec-
tions ended in Maharash-
tra, Thackeray also said
that the Election Commis-
sioner who was "acting like
Modi's servant" will be re-
moved after the INDIA alli-
ance government comes
to power.
"The way they tried to use
and throw the Shiv Sena,
a similar game will be
played by Narendra Modi
in future (with the RSS),
and that has been stated
by (BJP president J P)
Nadda," he said.
Thackeray was referring
to Nadda's comments to a
newspaper that when the
BJP was a small party and
less capable, it needed the
RSS, but now the saffron pa
rty has grown, become more
capable, and "runs itself".
"Nadda said there was a
need for the RSS until now,
(but) we are capable now
and we don't need the
RSS. If they (BJP) came to
power, it is a bigger danger
for RSS workers because
they will ban the RSS,"
Thackeray claimed.
In the past, (then Union
home minister) Sardar
Vallabhbhai Patel had
banned the RSS, he
noted.
"Those who call our
party `nakli' (fake) Shiv
SenawillcalltheSangh
'nakli'," Thackeray fur-
ther said, referring to
Prime Minister Modi's
jibe at the Sena (UBT).
"The entire RSS cadre
toils to make you prime
minister. Why are you plan-
ning to ban the RSS which
gave you birth and gave
you political power," Thac-
keray asked.
He also took a swipe at
the Election Commission,
stating that "after the IN-
DIA alliance government
comes to power, we have
to send home the election
commissioner who is act-
ing like Modi's servant."
Whoever is working like
the BJP regime's "servant"
will be sacked, the former
Maharashtra chief minis-
ter said.
as campaigners to woo UP voters
AHMEDABAD:
The Gujarat BJP has
launched a unique campaign
to attract voters from Uttar
Pradesh. Thousands of mi-
grant workers residing in Su-
rat, Gujarat, are calling their
relatives in the Purvanchal
region of Uttar Pradesh, urg-
ing them to vote for the BJP.
During these conversations,
they highlight the Gujarat
model of development. As an
incentive, participants in this
effort will have the opportu-
nity to meet Gujarat BJP
president CR Patil for lunch
or dinner.
This election campaign
strategy is credited to Guja-
rat BJP president CR Patil.
During the campaign in Gu-
jarat, he informed North In-
dian workers and support-
ers that their task was not
only to secure victory for the
party in Gujarat but also to
campaign for the BJP in their
native regions. Workers
who had the time were en-
couraged to visit their home-
towns and campaign locally.
Those unable to take leave
due to job constraints were
asked to stay in areas like
Surat, Bharuch, and Ahmed-
abad and motivate their rela-
tives to vote for the BJP
through phone calls.
North Indian BJP leader
and former Surat BJP corpo-
rator Yajuvendra Dubey stat-
ed, "For this campaign, small
centers are set up near com-
panies, factories, markets,
or tea shops.
After their work shifts, work-
ers are provided with facili-
ties to call their close con-
tacts. Additionally, the name,
mobile number, and locality
information of the people
they contact should be re-
corded."
Dubey further added, "The
party has asked these work-
er-supporters to call at least
20 people, with no maximum
limit. Those who perform ex-
ceptionally well will be al-
lowed to dine with Gujarat
BJP president CR Patil after
the election results."
Avadesh Mishra, who runs
a ‘Pan shop’ in Surat and is
one of the callers reaching
out to Purvanchal for BJP
support, said, "In many ar-
eas, people are unaware of
the significant development
projects in their own region.
Many voters don't know
about the development
work done by the BJP cen-
tral and state governments.
We are sharing this informa-
tion with our acquaintances
and relatives, which has
changed their perspective."
It is worth noting that hun-
dreds of thousands of peo-
ple from UP and Bihar re-
side and earn their living in
various cities across Guja-
rat. The BJP has leveraged
them as brand ambassa-
dors.
