AAP may take on Modi on his home turf, contest all 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat

AHMEDABAD: Buoyed by its performance in Delhi assembly polls, Aam Admi Party (AAP) is planning to contest all the 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat and take on BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on his home turf.

The two-day meeting of AAP's executive committee, which started here on Saturday, is deliberating on planning and execution of the party's campaigning in the state for the 2014 elections, AAP's Gujarat convener Sukhdev Patel told PTI.

"We would like to contest on all the 26 seats and the deliberations are going on in the meeting about it," he said replying to a query.

After the good show in Delhi, AAP had hinted that they might field one of their young leader Kumar Vishwas from Amethi against Rahul Gandhi and now the party is planning to take on Narendra Modi, who might fight his first Lok Sabha elections.

When asked whether the party would fight against Modi, Patel said, "Yes, this is an important state as BJP's prime ministerial candidate comes from Gujarat. We have to take him (Modi) on here, as AAP has to fight all the Lok Sabha seats of the country when people are distressed with the present democratic system."

However, the state BJP has said that AAP does not present any competition to the party in Gujarat.

"Any political party is welcome to fight elections as they have right to fight. But in Gujarat, it is BJP all the way and there is Congress in some pockets. The system here is by-partisan and it will remain so. Many other political parties like BSP, LJP, NCP also contest elections from here," BJP spokesperson Harsad Patel said.

AAP, formed out of movement for Jan Lokpal Bill agitation, stunned BJP and Congress when it won 28 seats in the Delhi assembly elections in its debut.

Kejriwal questions Anna for
supporting Lokpal Bill in its
current form

New Delhi: A parallel war erupted
between the Aam Aadmi Party
leader Arvind Kejriwal and anti-
corrution crusader Anna Hazare on
how effective the new Lokpal Bill
is.
Kejriwal in his tweet questioned
that how could Anna Hazare
support the Lokpal Bill in its
current form.
"I am really surprised, how can
Anna accept the sarkari Lokpal
Bill? Sarkari Lokpal is a 'jokepal',"
Kejriwal tweeted.
"Whatever Anna may say, we will
continue our fight for Jan Lokpal
Bill till our last breath," Kejriwal
went on to say.
He also expressed his skepticism by
asking who is misguiding Anna.
Kejriwal's comment comes after
Anna Hazare suggested moving
ahead with the amended Bill
presented in the Rajya Sabha and
said improvements in the
legislation could be brought
through amendments later.
"Time has come to move (ahead)
with the present draft of Lokpal
Bill and get it passed.
Improvements can be made later
through amendments once it
becomes a Constitutional reality,"
Hazare told as his indefinite fast
for a citizen's ombudsman entered
the fifth day on Saturday.
Interestingly, both the principle
political parties the Congress and
the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
have also come out strongly in
passing the Lokpal Bill in its
current form, but the AAP is still
expressing its reluctance.
I m really surprised. How
can Anna accept sarkari
lokpal bill? Sarkari lokpal is
a "jokepal". Who is
misguiding Anna?

Kerala Congress embarrassed after PC George flags off Modi 'unity run'


Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala Congress unit triggered a flutter on Sunday after Government Chief Whip and vice-chairman of the Kerala Congress-Mani (M) PC George inaugurated 'Run for Unity' marathon organised by Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

George was seen distributing t-shirts with Narendra Modi's picture and wearing a saffron shawl on his neck during the event held at Kottayam.

State Congress leaders have criticised George for his actions and have demanded action be taken against him. Meanwhile, George maintained that he participated in the programme only to honour Sardar Vallabhai Patel.

The event is organised country wide by BJP and Narendra Modi to mark the death anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Modi organised the event in a bid to collect scrap iron to build Sardar Patel's 182-metre statue in the middle of Narmada river, which is scheduled to be completed before January 26, 2014.

My account got suspended when I asked Shashi Tharoor that does Congress feel ashamed that rape cases doubled and molestation quadrupled under Congress rule after Nirbhaya case.
He previously replied to me that women are now fearless and reporting more cases.

Narendra Modi on Lokayukta is like Asaram talking about virginity: Jairam Ramesh

NEW DELHI: Narendra Modi speaking about Lokayukta is like Asaram "talking about virginity", Union minister Jairam Ramesh on Monday said, hitting back at the BJP prime ministerial candidate.

The rural development minister, who is no stranger to controversial remarks, drew an analogy with the disgraced self-styled godman who is facing charges of sexual assault when he was asked about Modi mocking Rahul Gandhi on the issue of Lokpal Bill at a rally in in Uttarakhand yesterday.

Modi had questioned why Congress, which is pushing the Lokpal Bill, was not implementingLokayukta Act brought in by the previous BJP government headed by B C Khanduri in Uttarakhand.

Ramesh said that the Gujarat chief minister, who did not appoint a Lokayukta for 10 years in his state, has no right to speak on the issue of the anti-graft legislation.

"A guy who didn't appoint a Lokayukta for 10 years is hardly the person to speak about Lokayukta. For 10 years he didn't appoint a Lokayukta and he is giving 'updesh' (sermon' on Lokayukta. This is like Asaram talking about virginity," Ramesh told reporters.

Self-styled godman Asaram Bapu, who allegedly sexually assaulted a minor, is in judicial custody in Jodhpur jail since his arrest in September.

Ramesh termed Uttarakhand's Lokayukta Act a "joke" and said that "there was some problem" with the legislation. He, however, did not elaborate.

Drafted at a time when Anna Hazare's agitation for a Lokpal Bill was at its peak, UttarakhandLokayukta Bill was passed unanimously by the state Assembly on November 1, 2011 after Khanduri took over the reins in the state for a second time in September, 2011.

Though given presidential ascent after a two-year wait in September this year, the Act is yet to be implemented in Uttarakhand as chief minister Vijay Bahuguna wants to bring it into force only after certain amendments.

Uttarakhand Lokayukta Act brings under its ambit the chief minister, ministers, MLAs and bureaucrats among others.
