AGP keeping open option of joining hands with BJP for LS polls
NEW DELHI: AGP President and former Assam Chief Minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta today kept open his party's option of joining hands with BJP for Lok Sabha polls, saying a decision will be taken soon.

"I am not ruling it in or ruling it out. The party will take a a decision soon," he told PTI over phone when asked whether AGP will join BJP-led NDA.

Mahanta said BJP has not yet formally approached AGP for an electoral alliance in Assam.

"So far there has been no discussion with any national party," he said. There are 14 Lok Sabha seats in Assam.

Asked why did he not join the meeting of the Third Front yesterday in Delhi, Mahanta said due to a personal reason, he could not travel to the national capital.

On whether AGP will be part of the Third Front, the two-time Assam Chief Minister said the party's highest decision-making body will take the final call on forging alliance for the general elections.

AGP and BJP had an electoral alliance for the 2009 Lok Sabha polls in Assam in which BJP got four seats while AGP got just one.

However, the alliance did not last long and both the parties went their ways with AGP leaving NDA.

Current BJP state President Sarbananda Sonowal is a former AGP Lok Sabha member and many of the state BJP leaders are former AGP members including Guwahati MP and a Minister in Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, Bijoya Chakraborty.

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has already addressed two public rallies in Assam -- one in Guwahati and and the other in Silchar -- after he was appointed BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate.

I told it yesterday itself that both AGP and BJD has showed signs to come back in NDA again by not attending Third front meeting in Delhi. BJD will soon show their signs too. Many other parties will also come once election date will be declared.

FIR against Uttarakhand minister Harak Singh Rawat for molestation

New Delhi: Delhi Police has booked senior Uttarakhand minister Harak Singh Rawat for allegedly molesting a 30-year-old woman here last year.

“Harak Singh Rawat has been booked for molesting a woman at his house in Safdarjung area in south Delhi. The incident happened in September last year,” said a police officer.

The woman, who is a resident of Meerut had on Monday submitted a written complaint at Safdarjung Enclave Police Station alleging that Rawat had misbehaved with her and touched her inappropriately, when she met him in September 2013.

Rawat, who was agriculture minister in Vijay Bahuguna’s cabinet, continued as minister when Bahuguna was succeeded by Harish Rawat.


"She claims that she was in touch with Rawat for a job. He had called her to Delhi in September and when she met him, he allegedly misbehaved with her. Following which she somehow managed to flee and reached her home," said a police official.

How the prospect of power has ended NaMo’s untouchability


Power, it seems, is the only true glue required to attract allies and hold Indian political formations together. Consider the two statements widely accepted as the truth till some time ago: One is that a BJP led by Narendra Modi will not find allies because he is a hardline communalist. And the other is: alliances and fronts are formed by some kind of ideological affinity. Both have turned out to be false.

Sindhi community up in arms aganist BJP, for “deliberate insult” to the tallest leader of the community LK Advani

Invitations being distributed across Lucknow for BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi’s rally in the state capital on March 2 have kicked up a controversy.


The invitations do not carry the name and photograph of senior party leader L.K. Advani.


The Sindhi community is up in arms over this “deliberate insult” to the tallest leader of the community.

Head of the Sindhi Sabha, Ashok Motiyani, said that the omission of Mr Advani’s name and photograph from the rally invites have hurt the community. “He is the tallest leader in the Sindhi community as well as the BJP and we are naturally hurt by this,” he said.

The BJP, meanwhile, is trying hard to wriggle out of the situation by claiming that invitations are being printed at various levels and the ones printed by a party worker have “accidentally” omitted Mr Advani’s name.

BJP MP Lalji Tandon said, “The invitations printed by me include the names and photographs of Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee and Mr L.K. Advani because the BJP cannot be imagined without these two leaders. It is, however, possible that some party workers may have got invitations printed on their own and his name may be missing on them.”
BJP mayor and co-convenor of the rally, Dinesh Sharma, on the other hand, termed it as a printer’s devil and said that the error had been corrected and new invitations were being printed and distributed.

You gotta give it to the Congis on this thread. I get sad when there's even a small hiccup in Modi's campaign, every single day they face setbacks but they continue in this thread like nothing's wrong.

+5000 to @Bhai Zakir and @fsayed for spirit.
