J.A. Kishore Kumar, the State General Secretary of Hindu Munnani, issued a press release on 16 August 2024, cautioning the Tamil Nadu government to address a purported terror conspiracy against Hindu Munnani chief Kadeswara Subramaniam. Kumar warned that if the state fails to tackle the rise of Islamic terrorism effectively, it could face serious repercussions.

The press release detailed an incident involving a letter received by the Bharatiya Janata Party office in Palani, Dindigul District. The letter alleged that terrorist training was being conducted in the Palani area by Syed Ali Farooq of the SDPI, who was reportedly training ten members of the banned PFI. The letter also claimed that there were plans to assassinate Kadeswara Subramaniam.

Hindu Munnani asserted that the letter confirmed this terror plot against Subramaniam. However, they criticized the police for allegedly mishandling the investigation. They claimed that the authorities had downplayed the letter’s significance, suggesting it was merely a revenge-driven falsehood, and had failed to investigate the individuals named in the letter.

The group condemned the police for covering up the incident and accused them of enabling the growth of Islamic terrorism through their inaction. They pointed out that Tamil Nadu has witnessed a significant number of terrorist activities, highlighting a pattern of police negligence that emboldens extremists.

DMK-led Tamil Nadu government was also criticized for not recognizing how Islamic fundamentalist threats are impacting industrial development in the state. Hindu Munnani emphasized the need for proper investigation and expressed concern that failure to address the issue could lead to a resurgence of terrorism.

In response, the Hindu Munnani has contacted Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging the Central Bureau of Investigation to take over the case. They have called for increased intelligence monitoring of the SDPI and associated individuals to prevent the spread of Islamic terrorism in Tamil Nadu.

The BJP’s campaign is gaining momentum in the Chidambaram constituency, drawing the attention of its residents. The battle for  Chidambaram constituency is between the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) chief Thirumavalavan and Karthiyayini from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Thirumavalavan is contesting for the sixth time in this election, having narrowly won in the previous election. He is now contesting under the pot symbol, with the DMK alliance as his primary support base. However, the BJP candidate Karthiyayini, a former loyalist of the late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, has emerged as a significant contender. Karthiyayini’s switch to the BJP after Jayalalithaa’s demise and has garnered attention through her campaigns. There’s a high speculation whether a combination of anti-DMK sentiment and the support of the PMK’s vote bank will pave the way for Karthiyayini’s victory.

The BJP has dedicated significant efforts to grassroots work, with party cadres tirelessly working day and night to secure victory for their candidate in the Chidambaram constituency. However, amidst these efforts, a recent incident occurred where a BJP party worker was assaulted by individuals affiliated with the VCK and DMK parties and subsequently hospitalized.

While campaigning for BJP candidate Karthiyayini in Vilangiamman Kovil Street, a door-to-door campaign conducted by party supporters Raghavan, Sanjay, Anbarasan, and Guru Subramaniyan was disrupted by a group including Municipal member Councillor CK Rajan, Pettai Balu alias Balasubramaniyan, James, Vijayaraghavan, and Appu alias Chandrasekaran, totaling eight members. This group assaulted the BJP workers, particularly targeting 64-year-old Guru Subramaniayam, who sustained significant injuries. CK Rajan was allegedly the instigator of the attack, and among the assailants, three were DMK councillors. The victims were subjected to verbal abuse and severe physical attacks. Despite these allegations, it is claimed that no action has been taken by the police.

Upon learning of the incident, the BJP candidate Karthiyayini promptly proceeded to the police station. However, they were obstructed by members of the VCK party, led by Sarithiran, the district secretary, resulting in a tense confrontation.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kerala State Vice President KS Radhakrishnan on Saturday (January 15) called Communist Party of India (Marxist) politburo member S. Ramachandran Pillai, a traitor for his pro-China statement.

On Thursday (January 13), Ramachandran Pillai who was addressing the CPI-M Kottayam district committee meeting, said, “India’s campaign against China is an attack on CPI-M”.

Immediate the Kerala state BJP president who was incensed said, “Pillai shares his loyalty with an enemy country in one sense. He is a traitor and in my opinion, all traitors should be arrested and put before the court of law to award maximum punishment.”

“My request to the Marxist fraternity is that they should give up their idea of protecting the enemy countries while living here in India. If they want to protect China, let them go and live in China,” Radhakrishnan said.

It is an open secret that the Communists in India have always supported China, and in the 1962 war, they supported Mao and refused to participate in blood donation drives and work for the benefit of a foreign country.

“Pillai thinks China is his country, Xi is his leader. When China gets criticised, he feels that he is being criticised,” he alleged.

“This has been the habit of the Communist Party because they never believe in nationalism but believe in internationalism. This is too dangerous and a great betrayal of this land by the Communist movement,” Radhakrishnan said.

“Pillai shamelessly declared his fraternity with the foreign country. He is taking every advantage of the democratic setup and cultural heritage of this great land,” he said.

Why should they remain in India and fight for China against India? Instead of that, all the Marxist groups and fraternities can leave India and join China to fight against India,” he said.

The leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Andhra Pradesh Lanka Dinakar on Friday (October 8) slammed Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and accused the YSRCP government of pushing people towards Christianity.

“Andhra Pradesh government led by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy going for religious conversions. They are creating opportunities and pushing people towards Christianity. This government is creating propaganda regarding such matters. The devotees have displayed their displeasure (for the temple wall). The person behind this should be punished or we make a big movement to fight against Jagan Mohan Reddy for taking a wrongful approach against the Hindu religion,” Dinakaran told ANI.

“During this Dussehra Navaratri, one side of the temple is decorated with illuminative lights and YSRCP flag, and on the other side, a pagan propaganda pastors hoarding is there,” he added.

The BJP leader said, “the negligence of the state government towards Hindu sentiments is quite evident. Religious conversions are openly happening by posting Christian pasters near Hindu temples. We strongly condemn such kind of encouragement by the Jagan Mohan Reddy led YSRCP Government.”

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday (August 9) issued a three-line whip to its party Members of Parliament in Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha to be present in the House tomorrow Tuesday (August 10).

“All BJP members in Rajya Sabha are hereby informed that some very important business will be taken up for discussion and passing in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, August 10 and Wednesday, August 11. All members of BJP in Rajya Sabha are therefore requested to be positively present in the House throughout all both days and support the Government,” the BJP said in a notice.

This explicit instruction has sent the opposition into a frenzy as the month of August in the last two years has proven to be the time when the Modi government took some very important decisions. 

Right now the opposition has been disturbing the proceedings in the parliament from day one with regards to the Pegasus issue and accusing the government of not allowing any discussions in these troubled times of pandemics.

A 25 year old BJP worker in Bhatpara Municipality in West Bengal was killed in a dastardly bomb attack on Sunday.

A month after the results of the West Bengal elections were declared in which the Trinamool Congress won, the violence against those who supported the Bhartia Janata Party (BJP) has only increased and one of the few persons who has been raising the voice against this violence is Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar.

On Sunday June 6, Dhankhar slammed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over the ‘rampant post-poll violence’ in the state and directed the Chief Secretary to brief him about the law and order situation on Monday (June7).

Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, Dhankhar wrote, “Extremely alarming law & order scenario Mamata Banerjee. Security environment is seriously compromised. In such a grim situation called upon Chief Secretary to brief me on the law and order situation on Monday 7th June and indicate all steps taken to contain post poll violence.”

The West Bengal Governor said that the TMC is in the warpath of retributive violence post the election that has graduated to social boycott and denial of benefits. He said that people are made to suffer as they are being extorted for living in their own house or run their own business.

In a press conference held by Minister for Housing & Urban Affairs, Hardeep Singh Puri on the Central Vista project said he objects to the statements that were made in an open letter by former bureaucrats last year that has been making rounds on social media platforms.

“This project began, if reports are to be believed, because of a superstitious belief that the present Parliament building is ‘unlucky’”

How someone can put their signature on this bizarre letter defies logic! pic.twitter.com/bdsUfnM1za

— Hardeep Singh Puri (@HardeepSPuri) May 31, 2021

In the statement, the bureaucrats had said, “There is a great deal wrong with the conceptualization of the project. Rather than establishing the necessity of the project with sound prior studies on environmental and technical parameters, this project began, if reports are to be believed, because of a superstitious belief that the present Parliament building is ‘unlucky’, as well as with the thought of leaving a particular government and its leader’s impress on the architecture of Delhi.”

Puri called the bureaucrats educated fools and said, “These are not educated fools but a disgrace to the country. I will not put my signatures on a letter that talks about superstitious belief.”

He went on to say that the need for the new parliament was made by the Congress government in 2012 and the old parliament lacks facilities and lack of space for the members. He said, “The parliament was designed for fewer people. We are making a bigger parliament building for the people of India.” He further said, “I think some of these guys need to have their head examined before they sign letters like this.”

Puri then excoriated the people who wrote this letter making rounds in the social media and said,  “I do not know what agenda they have but they need to get their facts right.”

He talked about the false narrative being created and propagated around the Central Vista project and was aghast with the accusation that this was a vanity project. He also made it very clear that none of the heritage buildings would be touched.

The new parliament building will be ready as India celebrates the 75th anniversary of Independence in 2022. The estimated cost of the new parliament building is Rs 852 crores and the estimated cost of Central Vista avenue is Rs 477 crore.

Puri said that in 2012, it was the UPA government that had decided to build a new parliament and quoted Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, then-Union Minister for Rural Development who had said, “We badly need a new parliament building. This one simply isn’t functional and is outdated.” 

It must be noted that the Delhi High Court had dismissed a PIL filed against the Central Vista project and called it a “motivated plea” and imposed a fine on the petitioners Anya Malhotra and Sohail Hashmi for wasting the court’s time in frivolous petitions.

As the number of Wuhan Virus cases rises in Karnataka, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has cleaned the premises of BGML Hospital at Kolara, Karnataka and are very close to operationalizing the hospital as Covid Care Centre that had been closed for the past 20 years.

RSS Swayamsevaks, after receiving the permission, cleaned the premises of BGML Hospital which had been closed for the past 20 years. Now it will be a #Covid Care Centre, at Kolara, Karnataka. A Report in @IndiaToday pic.twitter.com/bvtqrO63oK

The BGML hospital is a 140 years old 800 bed hospital that was established by the British and has been left in a dilapidated stage for over 20 years and now it has been refurbished as a Covid care centre.

Leading the initiative was the RSS Swayamsevak supported by the Bhartia Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament from Kolar, Sadappa Muniswamy.

Hundreds of BJP and RSS Swayamsevaks have been working nonstop for the past 15 days to get this defunct hospital ready and have so far removed over 400 tractor load of dirt from the premises.

Many of the volunteers with the background as electricians and mason are working round the clock to get this hospital up to standard and it will be ready in the coming week.

Mangaluru South MLA Vedavyas Kamath has said that the Congress should stop misleading citizens at difficult times like the ones brought on by the coronavirus global pandemic. Kamath was speaking to the press in Mangaluru regarding the treatment of Covid-19 patients in the city’s Wenlock Hospital and how the Congress was undermining not only the effort of the state and district administration in controlling the pandemic, but also that of the hospitals and healthcare workers.

Expressing his rage towards the Opposition, Kamath said, “Congress should first put an end to making mockery out of matters of public health. In addition to giving false statements about Wenlock hospital, it is creating an environment wherein people are scared to arrive at Wenlock hospital.”

The MLA further said, “All facilities are available at Wenlock hospital for the underprivileged. But Congress is misleading citizens and instilling fear in their minds. This kind of politics does not bode well for a party like Congress.”

“Congress has not made any appreciable contribution to the development of Wenlock hospital in the past 50 years. Even when [Congress leader] UT Khader was the health minister, Wenlock did not get any benefit. So far there were only twelve ICUs. Now there are seventy ventilators due to the effort put in by MP Nalin Kumar and the BJP government. In addition, twenty ventilators are reserved in private hospitals for the poor. So ninety ventilators are available for the treatment of the poor. Oxygen cylinder capacity is increased to twelve tonnes from six tonnes. All these are reserved for poor people”, he said.

“In the next thirty to forty days, an oxygen plant will be installed. Within another ten days, fifty more ventilators will arrive. The blueprint is being prepared to install 250 oxygen beds. Work is in progress to install oxygen plants in all the taluk hospitals. Already fifty oxygen beds are being readied. When Khader was the health minister he did not make any contribution to his constituency. Congress does not want development. Congress is leaving aside development and is indulging in criticizing BJP”, Kamath added.

Kamath also lambasted statements from Congress leaders over the oxygen received from Bahrain. “The union government had sent an appeal to Bahrain to send oxygen in the wake of the worsening Covid situation in the country. Initially, due to some political issues, the Centre had decided to get oxygen through Red Cross. So the oxygen was to be sent to Mumbai port. But due to the appeal of the Karnataka government, it was sent to NMPT. This process has happened as per the agreement between the governments of both countries. Congress leaders who are criticizing this matter should first understand it. If the governor is numero uno for any state, DC and elected representatives are important for districts. What is wrong in welcoming the oxygen containers that were brought by the government? Congress politicizes every move of the ruling party. They should utilize their smartness for good work. There is no need to be dramatic during this difficult time”, he fumed.

Speaking on the subject of availability of Covid testing reports for patients, Vedavyas Kamath said, “As the people who used to arrive at Wenlock hospital for Covid test were not filling the details properly in their application form, uploading the same on the system was getting delayed. This issue will be resolved within a week. The Covid report will be available within 24 hours.”

Mayor Premananda Shetty, chief whip of the Mangaluru City Corporation Sudhir Shetty Kannur and BJP South Mandala president Vijaya Kumar Shetty were also present at the press briefing.

All India N.R. Congress (AINRC) chief N Rangasamy was sworn in as the chief minister of Puducherry on Friday in a brief five minute-ceremony held at Raj Nivas at Puducherry. He will lead a coalition government, with members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in his cabinet.

On Friday afternoon, the Lieutenant Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan administered the oath of office and secrecy to Ramasamy, giving him his fourth stint in the office of the CM. N Rangasamy, who was the only legislator who was sworn in today, took the oath in Tamil.

While Karnataka is the lone southern state in India with the BJP in the ruling government, the party’s induction in the Puducherry cabinet points that the Narendra Modi-led party is expanding its political footprint in the region.

The BJP also fared well in the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu, where it won four assembly seats, infringing upon the Dravidian parties’ fiefdom.

Union Minister of State for Home and BJP leader Kishan Reddy attended the oathtaking ceremony. Reddy told presspersons that the BJP and AINRC would have three ministers each and they would sworn in the coming days. These six ministers, and Rangasamy, would bring the strength of the cabinet to seven members.

BJP’s A Namassivayam, who was unanimously elected as the leader of the BJP’s legislature wing, is tipped to be the deputy chief minister. This would be the first ever instance of the union territory having a deputy chief minister.

The AINRC won ten seats while the BJP won six, giving them the simple majority in the thirty-member house. The six independent MLAs are mostly supporters of N Rangasamy.

The DMK won six seats out of the thirteen constituencies it had contested, while the Congress managed to only win two of the fourteen seats contested.
