Samajwadi Party takes que from TMC, coins war cry for UP elections as “2022 mein khela hoi”

In 2022 the most populas state in India, Uttar Pradesh will hold its State Legislative polls and the Samajwadi Party (SP) has taken fancy to the Trinamool Congress (TMC) election slogan of ‘Khela Hobe‘ wherein Mamata Banerjee led party mobilized its party workers to unleash violence hitherto unknown during and after the West Bengal Vidhan Sabha elections.

The slogan Khela Hobe can be called a war cry for vengence that the TMC adopted in West Bengal. In Uttar Pradesh the SP has adopted its Bhojpuri version as “2022 mein khela hoi,”.

Reportedly, the slogan was written by ex-MLA and Samajwadi party leader Abdul Samad Ansari who has now put the slogan on the walls of his entire building and has asked Samajwadi party leader Akhilesh Yadav to adapt the same line used by TMC workers in West Bengal.

Ansari alleged, “The way Didi and people of Bengal have played with the BJP, similarly Bhojpuri society will play with the ruling party.”

The term ‘Khela hobe’ (we will have a match) has now become the raison d’etre TMC workers Mamata Banerjee party workers  retaliate against the central armed forces and BJP workers where several people have been brutally murdered and women raped and molested. 

So much so, women in West Bengal had to move to the Supreme Court narrating the details of the horrifying gang-rapes they were subjected to in the post-poll violence by the members of the ruling party, now the SP wants to impliement the same plan in UP.

Kejriwal Govt inflated Delhi’s oxygen need by 4 times during COVID 2nd wave peak: Supreme Court Audit Team

arvind kejriwal covid

The audit team appointed by the Supreme Court has found very disturbing information on the extent of exaggeration of the oxygen requirement in the national capital by the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

As per the audit report, the AAP had ordered more than four times during the April 25-May 10 which was the peak period of the Covid-19 second wave, reports Times of India.

According to the Supreme Court-appointed oxygen audit team, Cheif Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his government exaggerated and made false claims of oxygen shortage in the national capital during the height of the second wave which led to supply constraints in at least 12 states who needed it.

“There was a gross discrepancy (about four times). The actual oxygen consumption claimed by the Delhi government (1,140MT) was about four times higher than the calculated consumption as per the formula based on bed capacity (289 MT),” the SC-appointed oxygen audit committee said in its report.

On May 8, the Supreme Court ordered the formation of a 12-member National Task Force it had constituted to form sub-committees for each state to carry out an audit to determine the Oxygen supplies allocated by the Union Government for each state and Union Territory.

In its submission to the sub-group, the Petroleum and Oxygen Safety Organisation (PESO) had stated that the “National Capital Territory of Delhi (NCTD) had surplus oxygen, which is affecting liquid medical oxygen (LMO) supply to other states”.

Earlier, the Petroleum & Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) under the government of India had conducted a similar study, in which it had revealed that Delhi was actually getting more oxygen than it needed.

However, it is very strange when Delhi had more oxygen supply, many hospitals in Delhi had been running out of oxygen supply with some facilities claiming critical Covid-19 patients had died due to a shortage in oxygen supply during April-May that allowed the Kejriwal government to play cheap politics with the Modi government at the Centre over the supply of LMO to the national capital.

“DMK govt made Tamil Nadu proud by removing ‘Jai Hind’ from Governor’s address”, DMK ally makes seditious remark in Assembly

The controversial speech delivered by MLA ER Eshwaran in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly has received condemnation from various sections on Thursday.

The first session of the 16th Legislative Assembly began on June 21 at the Kalaivanar Arangam in Chennai. The assembly commenced its proceedings with the address of Governor Banwarilal Purohit. Following the Governor’s address, MLAs were allowed to speak in the assembly.

MLA E R Eshwaran, a DMK ally and MLA from Thiruchengodu constituency, who spoke in the assembly on the final day of the first session, made a controversial remark about the term ‘Jai Hind,’ which is a salutation and slogan that originally meant “Victory to India.”

ER Eshwaran, who runs a caste outfit in the Kongu region, told the Tamil Nadu State Assembly that by avoiding ‘Jai Hind’ in the Governor’s address to the Tamil Nadu Assembly, Tamil Nadu has become proud. He thanked Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin for refraining from using the words “Jai Hind,” which the previous ADMK government used.

His remarks regarding ‘Jai Hind,’ which was used as a slogan to unify Indians across the country during the Indian freedom struggle, have been condemned by many political leaders and the general public. They also questioned Congress Party with 18 MLAs in Tamil Nadu Assembly for its silence and reluctance to criticize ER Eshwaran for his statements on “Jai Hind.”

K Annamalai, Vice President of the BJP Tamil Nadu, expresses his displeasure with the state of political discourse in Tamil Nadu.

Political commentator Sumanth Raman took a dig at ‘Periyarist’ who are uncomfortable with ‘Jai Hind.’ He also questioned if MK Stalin endorses his comments.

Actress Kasthuri tweeted in support of saying ‘Jai Hind.’

John McAfee, the founder and creator of McAfee, the famous antivirus software was found dead in his Spanish prison cell on Wednesday. The 75-year-old pioneered the antivirus software industry with his revolutionary antivirus software. After making a fortune in the antivirus empire, he resigned in 1994. After that, he became a self-proclaimed programmer and cryptocurrency enthusiast. He even briefly contested as a Libertarian Party candidate for president in 2016.

McAfee had been accused of not filing taxes and was arrested in Barcelona’s international airport in October. This led to him being imprisoned, and he has been serving sentence since then.
