Cash-strapped Cong asks MPs to help party with one month’s salary | india | Hindustan Times

that's what happens when the party spends it's money on Gandhi Family to acquire real estates belonging to National Herald & the rest.

& also the fact that their funding is drying up as no one wants to bet on losing horse!

This was a really weird tweet from TOI, it's gone now:

And as always, that story about "rumours of eating beef" was false, typical false communal angle given to a murder

IITian does not mean anything. The man who caused so much damage with the land bill - Jairam Ramesh was from IIT (his father taught there), MIT & Carnegie Mellon. He did so much damage that has set us back decades.

'Bad candidate from good party doesn't deserve a ticket': Amit Shah steps in as trouble brews for BJP in Bihar - Firstpost

The BJP may have had a rather smooth seat-sharing arrangement with coalition partners, but it still has a few problems of its own to handle ahead of the first phase of assembly polls. Unhappy at being denied tickets, which went to turncoats from other parties, particularly the JD(U) and the RJD, some leaders have threatened to campaign against official candidates. BJP president Amit Shah has been camping in the state to quell the resentment.

Hundreds of BJP workers protested outside the party office on Tuesday and chanted slogans against the party’s leadership. They were demanding that the party re-think and withdraw the candidature Ram Kumar Roy, who has been fielded from 41 Nirmali constituency in the Kosi region. He was in the JD(U) earlier.

Agitating members of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth wing of the BJP, accused the party of compromising with its ideology and selling tickets to outsiders. They even threatened to launch a parallel campaign against the BJP in the entire Kosi region if the party did not withdraw its decision and give ticket to their ex-general secretary Sharwan Kumar Chaudhary who, they claim, has been working for the party since 1981.

They allege that Roy, who is an “outsider”, has been imposed on the party workers in the region and they are not going to tolerate at any cost.

“Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya (one of the founders of the BJP) had said in one his political campaigns that any bad candidate cannot deserve your votes only because he is contesting the elections from a good party. If it happens, it means that the party high command was not impartial in distributing tickets. We have come here to remind the party of its ideology and what our founder had said. If the party does not reconsider its decision and go ahead with the same candidate, we, the foot soldiers will ensure its defeat not only in Nirmally but in all five constituencies of the Kosi belt,” Alok Kumar, Supaul district general secretary of the BJYM, toldFirstpost.

He said apart from Roy, former MP Vishwa Mohan Kumar and sitting MLA Niraj Kumar Singh – both from JD(U) – have been awarded the party ticket from the region.

Similar voices have raised from Arrah and Siwan districts. It is being alleged that a turncoat Manoj Singh, formerly asssociated with jailed don Mohammed Shabuddin, has been given ticket by the BJP from Siwan’s Raghunathpur assembly for crores of rupees ignoring outgoing MLA Vikran Kuwar.

Similar allegations were levelled by former Union Home Secretary and BJP parliamentarian RK Singh recently when he accused the Bihar unit of the party of taking money for tickets. The lawmaker from Arrah who joined BJP couple of years ago, said that many deserving candidates have been left out.

The resentment has forced party chief Amit Shah to step in to “resolve the differences”.

“There is a division in the state wing of the party’s leadership. The situation has turned so ugly that Amit Shah has to intervene. He is here to resolve differences and micro-manage the entire campaigning. He will be camping here for next five days, meet RSS functionaries working on the ground and carefully monitor the strategy and turns of event,” said a BJP insider.

Meanwhile, the upper caste leaders of saffron party are in dilemma after Union Minister Giriraj Singh yesterday said that “...no swarna (upper caste) will be the next chief minister of Bihar if the NDA (National Democratic Alliance comprising Ramvilas Paswan-led Lok Jan Shakti Party (LJP), Upendra Kushwaha-led Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) floated by former chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi) forms the government in Bihar”.

Justifying the statement, a veteran BJP leader without wishing to be named told Firstpost, “Our state unit is divided on caste basis and in this case, projecting a leader from the upper castes as a chief minister candidate would not be in favour of the party’s prospect because it will consolidate OBC leaders and voters against us. The statement made by Shri Giriraj Singh is a calculated one and will help the party give a tough fight to Nitish Kumar, who along with Lalu is considered as champion of the backward politics.”

Asked whether the move won’t upset upper caste leaders who have always supported the party, he replied in a big NO. “We are sure of support from our traditional base of upper castes. They are not going anywhere. Our biggest worry is to consolidate backward castes keeping in mind Lalu joining hands with Nitish. And the stand of the party will help us in a big way,” he explained.

I don;t know about the BJP, but in the HAM,LJP & RLSP tickets have definitely been sold , am sure the same case is with the Congress.. JDU & RJD aren't that stupid. Their victory depends upon these 2 parties alone.

US Sikh caucus raises issues of religious freedom with Modi

Pro-Khalistani fools, last year there were reports that the ISI were actively encouraging these groups. A few ret@rds with an axe to grind is nothing new every year their numbers are dwindling.

+ Modi actually visited the Sikh community in Silicon Valley and in Canada and they were more than happy to receive him.

Booed, shoved, roughed up: Gay activist experiences ugly side of Silicon Valley welcome for PM Modi - Firstpost

Man, even I am feeling sorry for him. Fate has dealt him pretty rough cards. Both being a Muslim and a Gay and as if that was not enough, made him an Indian. His run of bad luck does not stop there, but he gets booed, shoved, and roughed up even in that promised land of all LGBTQs. Then the police tells him they cannot protect him!!! Is there a God in this universe? Koi hai sunnewallah?

Yet another U-turn from him on another issue

AAP not supporting any party in Bihar Assembly polls: Kejriwal - Firstpost

New Delhi: As Bihar heads for a fierce political battle, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said AAP was not extending support to any political party in assembly polls, hinting not much should be read in his recent visit to Patna and reports of his closeness with Nitish Kumar.

"I am not supporting anyone in Bihar and I have not gone their for campaigning. I had gone (Bihar) for a workshop on governance organised by the Bihar Chief Minister before the dates for elections were announced," he said.

@ranjeet @JanjaWeed @Tridibans @SarthakGanguly @SURYA-1 @Jason bourne

But this is an important indicator that the situation in Bihar is no longer pro-MGB & is more or less equal right now, if not in the favour of the NDA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope they win this by hook or crook we need this state.Also sushil modi should be made CM if BJP wins,the guy has talent

Only Sushil Modi will be the CM, that is confirmed. Caste credentials(OBC in Bihar[bania],pro-BJP OBC caste, considered a UC by leaders from other states where banias are UCs)+big supporter of Modi+experience & talent

Nobody else in the OBC brigade of the BJP has the same credentials & giriraj made it quite clear yesterday that only those from the OBC,EBC,Dalit,Maha-dalit categories will be considered as a CM candidate.
& realistically speaking, no Dalit or Maha-Dalit can be the CM of Bihar, Thus leaving the mantle to an OBC/EBC. & in this category Sushil Modi has a great chance

THough he is good & has talent. I feel Nitish Kumar is better than him as a CM

But unlike NiKu if SuMo becomes CM, he has a sensible talent pool in the BJP to choose from +not too much arm-twisting to face from allies

In the case of Nitish, all those RJD guys & Congis have to be satisfied with ministerial berths, RJD goondas & supporters will be back to jungle raj mode & do whatever they wish especially in areas where RJD has won+ they are strong & dominate.

Daily arm-twisting from Lalu will make Nitish suffer a lot.There will be a lot of policy paralysis, RJD & JDU supporters from karyakartas to ministers will frequently fight each other. There will be multiple Manjhi-like & Digivijay like statements on both sides. Stupid idiots+jealous netas+Nitish haters in the RJD won't let him do a good job & screw whatever good he does

His reputation will crash, he will be called a Bihari MMS in a few years, Bihar will suffer & BJP will end up doing well in the state in 2020 elections..

At the end of the day Nitish will find himself regretting this alliance with RJD whether he wins this election & becomes the CM or whether he loses.

Am feeling really sad for him, I liked him a lot. He could have been an excellent cabinet minister or the most famous Bihari CM ever. But then his success got to his head which already had a big ego & then those delhi journos planted ridiculous ideas in his head.

Nitish Kumar is the classic case of how lack of subtlety+ego+lack of reality can ruin even the best of careers. A sad & enlightening tale one must learn from ; especially One aspiring for greatness & fame.

One must Remember his best & what made him great +what brought him down in the end.
