Elections 2019 LIVE: Hitting out at Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu for visiting Pakistan and “siding” with the neighbours, BJP president Amit Shah asked him to live in Punjab across the border. “If you like Pakistan so much, why are you living in this side of Punjab?” he asked.
Apologising for her delayed reaction to PM Modi’s “bhrashtachari no. 1” comment on Rajiv Gandhi, Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee said that the former PM “dedicated himself and laid down his life for the motherland”. “I condemn the language used & the audacity of such a statement,” she said.
AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj has accused Delhi police of lying and saying that the man who slapped Arvind Kejriwal was a their party worker. He said that the attack was “pre-scripted” and the script was written in the BJP headquarters.
Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday warned that India’s economy is headed for a slowdown and that the Narendra Modi government is leaving it in dire straits. Singh also attacked the PM for allegedly filming a movie post the Pulwama terror attack on February 14, and said it was distressing that he chose that over chairing a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security immediately.
The BJP on Sunday said it was surprised to see the violent reactions of brother and sister to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “true comments” on late PM Rajiv Gandhi. Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi had slammed PM Narendra Modi for his “corrupt no. 1 jibe” aimed at the former PM.
While Priyanka Gandhi said the remark was reflective of the PM’s “uncontrolled insanity” and an insult to Rajiv Gandhi martyrdom, the Rahul Gandhi said, “projecting your inner beliefs about yourself onto my father won’t protect you.”
BSP supremo Mayawati accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of trying to sow differences between the SP and BSP, but said the alliance between the two parties would remain unbreakable. “He is trying to create differences between SP and BSP. His pratapgarh rally yesterday shows it. Whole country knows that we have not nor we will have any sort of alliance with the Congress,” she said.
Her statement came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi tried to drive a wedge between SP and BSP by highlighting their “differing approaches” towards the Congress. “The SP is going soft on the Congress, but its alliance partner BSP chief Mayawati is attacking the Congress,” Modi told an election rally, adding a Congress leader had shared the stage with the SP. The reference appeared to be to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s presence at a Samajwadi meeting in Rae Bareli.
