Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 1 (IANS) Ahead of the INDIA bloc's rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on Sunday, the BJP's Delhi unit released a controversial poster titled 'Thago Ka Mela' (Fair of Thugs), targeting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and several other opposition leaders.

The poster describes the objective of the purported 'mela' as spreading rumours and creating anarchy in the country at the behest of anti-national forces to protect their political ground. Directed by Rahul Gandhi and produced by Akhilesh Yadav, reads another line on the poster, taking a swipe at the opposition leaders. Sharing the poster on X, the BJP's Delhi unit said: Today, at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan, it's going to be held again - 'The Fair of Thugs'. It further alleged that the objective was o spread rumours and anarchy in the country at the behest of anti-national forces in order to save their political ground. The poster comes as the INDIA bloc prepares to hold a major protest gathering at Ramlila Maidan against alleged electoral irregularities and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.

Indian American lawmaker hits back after Trump calls him lightweight, total dope
Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 1 (IANS) Indian American Congressman Ro Khanna has hit back at President Donald Trump, who attacked him repeatedly on Friday over his criticism of the cost of the war with Iran, calling him a lightweight at the White House and a total dope at a campaign rally in Florida. Speaking in the Oval Office on October 30, Trump said: I watch this guy, Ro Khanna, whos a lightweight. And he was saying that, President Trump is spending a lot of money. Well, I spent a lot of money in order to get rid of a nuclear weapon, which weve done. But any money weve spent in Iran, weve more than made up for with what we did in Venezuela, taken in hundreds of billions of dollars, many, many times, Trump said. Later in the day, at a midterm rally in Daytona, Florida, Trump returned to the Democratic lawmaker from California. I watch this total dope, Ro Khanna, Trump said, according to HuffPost. Fox puts him on all the time. You know, Fox is giving Democrats more time than they give Republicans. Im working my ass off, Im doing rallies -- and I come back and I watch the opponent of the person I did the rally for. Im not happy. But I watched Ro Khanna, of course, on Fox this morning. I cant watch him, Trump said. Trump also called Khanna a radical left loser over his calls for impeachment. Khanna responded on X. Thanks for the 4 shoutouts today, Mr. President. Ill be on Fox this Sunday to share more of my thoughts on your failure in Iran and how its raised gas and food prices, he wrote. If you get a break from bragging about oil company profits and playing golf, tune in! he added. He did not say which Fox programme he would appear on. In an earlier post, Khanna wrote: Trump said Bush didnt seem smart for spending trillions in the Middle East. Now he calls me a lightweight for opposing $47B in Iran. Spend that money on jobs and childcare for Americans. His voters wanted him to stay out of war. He lied. Result: Blue Tsunami Tuesday, Khanna wrote. The $47 billion figure is Khannas. HuffPost described it as the estimated cost of the war. Khanna had appeared on Fox & Friends hours before Trumps remarks, criticising the Iran war and raising possible impeachment proceedings. Khanna, who represents Californias 17th Congressional District in Silicon Valley, is among the most prominent Indian American members of Congress and a frequent critic of the administrations foreign policy. Americans vote in the midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3.

In a post on X on Saturday, he said, Tomorrow, lakhs of people are coming to Delhi for the Ramlila March. It is the festive season. The time of Diwali, Chhath, and Bhai Dooj has arrived. I want those lakhs of people coming to Delhi from outside to support the traders here. Protest, march, hold rallies, and along with that, do a little shopping too - it will benefit the traders. I know the rally will not harm the traders. The BJP is scared, that's why it's spreading rumors. But let's do both. Tomorrow there will be a march, there will be a rally, and lakhs of people will buy goods from the small shops of our traders, he said. Congress MP and party General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal had also appealed to people across the country to join the November 1 rally, targeting the BJP-led Centre over the alleged irregularities in the SIR exercise. In a video message posted on X on Thursday, Venugopal described the opposition mobilisation as Chalo Dilli, Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao and alleged that democracy was under attack. Thirteen crore names have been deleted from electoral rolls. There is a massive fraud happening in voter rolls in state after state, he alleged, referring to the SIR being conducted by the ECI.

The INDIA bloc's rally is expected to bring together opposition leaders and supporters from different parts of the country, with the alliance seeking to highlight its concerns over electoral rolls and the functioning of the Election Commission.
