J-K Assembly: BJP MLA Slathia says session should focus on peoples issues

Srinagar , September 22 : On the second day of the Autumn Session of the assembly, Jammu and Kashmir BJP MLA Surjeet Singh Slathia said the Assembly should focus on issues concerning the people, including those related to NRHM workers, daily wagers, casual labourers and other workers. Speaking about the session, Slathia said the issues being discussed should relate to the concerns of people and their respective areas. We have a short session. In this, peoples questions and other issues of our area are to be presented. When these issues are raised, they also pertain to the people, Slathia said. He said issues concerning NRHM workers, daily wagers, casual labourers and other workers were among the matters that needed to be addressed. On statehood, Slathia referred to the Union Home Ministers statement in the House that Jammu and Kashmir would be given statehood at the appropriate time. The Union Home Minister has said on the floor of the House that when the time is right, at the appropriate time, Jammu and Kashmir will also be given statehood, he said. Slathia questioned the relevance of linking the issue of statehood with local concerns such as those of daily wagers. What does this have to do with statehood? What does the daily wager issue here have to do with statehood? he asked. Meanwhile, J&K Congress president Tariq Hameed Karra expressed dissatisfaction with the previous day proceedings and alleged that the BJP had created an orchestrated ruckus. Karra alleged that the BJP had followed a pre-planned strategy to prevent the House from functioning and avoid scrutiny. He claimed that the scrutiny could involve issues concerning Jammu and Kashmir as well as the country, including alleged misappropriation of donations, paper leaks and restoration of statehood. They had come with a pre-planned strategy: on one hand, not to let the House function, and on the other, to avoid being put in the dock. That scrutiny isn't limited to just Jammu & Kashmir; it applies to the entire country. They could face questions here regarding issues like the misappropriation of donations, paper leaks, and the restoration of statehood, he said. All of this was done to evade those answers and avoid that backlash, Karra added. The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly's autumn session is scheduled from September 21 to September 30, according to the official Assembly portal. The session comprises seven sittings, with legislators expected to raise issues including employment, reservation, regularisation of workers, power tariffs and other public concerns.

BJP disruption hurts people: Tanvir Sadiq

Srinagar, Sep 21:National Conference (NC) chief spokesman and MLA Tanvir Sadiq on Monday criticised BJP legislators for disrupting proceedings of the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, saying their conduct would hurt interests of the people who elected them to the House. Talking to media persons outside the Assembly complex, Sadiq said the BJP legislators had several questions listed for the day on issues including power, drinking water, and roads, but they chose not to participate in the question-answer proceedings. If they wanted answers, they would have got them. The government was ready. Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, and other ministers were present in the House, he said. Sadiq said the BJP had 11 questions listed, concerning issues directly affecting their respective constituencies. I feel sorry for the electorate who voted for you if you are not even answering the questions of the people who sent you from your constituency, he said. Sadiq alleged that the disruption was aimed at drawing media attention rather than raising public issues on the floor of the House. Disrupting the House and showing your face in the media, I think that's wrong. That's not fair to the people, he said. The NC MLA said the Assembly provided an opportunity to raise issues concerning employees and other public matters and urged opposition members to utilise the available sitting days to seek answers from the government. It is a seven-day Assembly session. Ask people's questions and convince the government to give the answers, he said. Sadiq also said that questions from National Conference, Congress, and independent members were taken up during the proceedings while several issues concerning BJP-held areas were also raised as well. Who suffered the most loss? The BJP's areas. Do you want them to suffer? That's wrong, he asked. On the reported evacuation notice in Srinagar where around 20 business establishments were located, Sadiq said the move needs a dialogue, particularly in view of concerns over possible unemployment and investments made by traders. My personal opinion is that it is wrong. Whether it is a shop or a building, it is wrong to evacuate someone, he said. Sadiq said the matter was also before the court and called for stakeholders to sit together and find a solution. Many people have invested their lives and savings. We are supporting them. The government is looking into the matter, he said.

Nagaon bypoll: People to vote against communal politics, says Assam Cong chief Gaurav Gogoi

Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 21 (IANS) Assam Congress president Gaurav Gogoi on Monday stepped up his attack on the BJP over alleged communal politics and the use of religion in electoral campaigning, urging voters to reject what he described as divisive politics in the upcoming Nagaon Lok Sabha by-election. Addressing an election meeting in Dhing locality in Nagaon, Gogoi said the electorate would send a message against communal politics, linking his remarks to Batadrava, the birthplace of Vaishnavite saint and social reformer Srimanta Sankardeva. This time, people will vote against communal politics, Gogoi said, adding that the message would come from Batadrava. The Congress leader also targeted the BJP over its references to Hinduism, alleging financial irregularities involving funds meant for the Ram Temple and questioning the partys decision to give ministerial positions to individuals facing allegations of cow theft. People from the party that talks about Hinduism steal money meant for the Ram Temple, give tickets to people facing allegations of cow theft and make them ministers, Gogoi said. His remarks came as the Congress intensified its campaign for party candidate Sibamoni Bora, a former MLA from Batadrava. The party had announced Boras candidature earlier this month for the by-election scheduled on October 6, with counting of votes set for October 9. Gogoi has previously described the Nagaon contest as a direct political battle with the BJP and alleged that the BJP and AIUDF share an understanding ahead of the bypoll. The two parties have fielded Devasish Sharma and Badruddin Ajmal, respectively. Congress leaders Rakibul Hussain and Wazed Ali Choudhury also attended the campaign meeting and sought support for Bora. The Nagaon Lok Sabha seat fell vacant after former Congress MP Pradyut Bordoloi left the party and joined the BJP before winning the Dispur Assembly constituency. The bypoll has turned into a multi-cornered contest, with 25 candidates filing nominations, including nominees from the BJP, Congress, AIUDF and Trinamool Congress.

Local poll results show peoples confidence in BJP: Madan Rathore

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 21 (IANS) BJP Rajasthan president Madan Rathore on Monday said the local body election results reflected people's support and confidence in the BJP, crediting the partys performance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's development agenda and the work of the Bhajanlal Sharma government in Rajasthan. Addressing a press conference after the results, Rathore thanked voters across the state and said the BJP had received widespread support in municipal corporations, municipal councils and municipalities. He said the mandate demonstrated public confidence in the partys leadership and its development-oriented approach. Rathore also said the state governments One State, One Election initiative had reduced election-related expenditure and would provide the government with more time to focus on development and public welfare. He noted that of the 10 municipal corporations in Rajasthan, results for seven were declared on Monday, with the BJP securing a majority in six. According to Rathore, BJP mayors were elected in Alwar, Bhilwara, Ajmer, Pali, Udaipur and Bharatpur. He said the people had endorsed the partys Sankalp Patra (manifesto) and that newly elected BJP representatives would work to fulfil its promises. Rathore added that BJP workers would approach voters with the same commitment during the upcoming Panchayat elections. He attributed the BJPs electoral performance to public faith in Prime Minister Modis development agenda and the work undertaken by the Bhajanlal Sharma government in Rajasthan. Rathore highlighted central government initiatives related to housing, sanitation, and infrastructure, including railway modernisation, doubling and electrification, road development, irrigation projects, and the construction and strengthening of dams. He also cited measures to support farmers, including increases in the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and assistance under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi. Rathore said the Make in India initiative had promoted industrial development and investment, while efforts to attract investors aimed to create employment opportunities. In Rajasthan, he highlighted the state governments work on the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP), the Yamuna Water Agreement, water supply arrangements from Punjab and efforts to ensure the availability of Narmada water. He said the state government was providing additional financial assistance to farmers and focusing on expanding crop insurance benefits. Rathore also pointed to the Rising Rajasthan initiative, saying it had helped promote investment and industries in the state and contributed to employment generation. He said the government was undertaking recruitment drives to provide employment opportunities to young people. He further said the government had taken strict action against criminals and was working to strengthen healthcare, roads, electricity and other basic amenities. Responding to a question about Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra, Rathore launched a personal political attack on his Congress counterpart. Dotasra is a big man; I cannot match him. He can secure benefits for his family, get jobs for family members and avail benefits despite falling under the OBC creamy layer category; I cannot compete with that, Rathore said. He also referred to the Congresss performance in the civic elections, saying the partys candidate in Sadri in Pali received zero votes. In contrast, the official Congress candidate in Pali received only three votes. How can I compare myself to him? We believe in the organisation, he said.

Fight against drugs must be peoples movement: Haryana CM

Digital Desk | Fazilka, Sep 21 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday said Punjab was once known for its prosperity, vibrancy and hardworking youth. Still, today the drug menace has emerged as a major challenge to the future of its young generation. He stressed that turning the campaign against drugs into a peoples movement is the need of the hour. Addressing a gathering after joining the fourth phase of the Nasha Mukti Yatra in Fazilka, Saini said the fight against drugs is not a political party's fight, but a fight to save the youth and future generations. He said the Yatra, which began on September 18, will continue till September 30 and cover around 4,000 km across all 117 Assembly constituencies of Punjab. Saini added that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country is fighting the drug menace with determination and every section of society should ensure its participation in this campaign. Criticising the Aam Aadmi Party government, he said it had promised to eradicate drugs within six months. Still, the problem remains serious even as the government enters the final phase of its tenure. He also said the government had not fulfilled its promises to employ youth. Saini recalled that when industrialists from Punjab met him at his residence in Chandigarh and expressed their desire to set up industries in Haryana, he advised them to establish industries in Punjab itself to provide employment opportunities to the youth there. He claimed that the people of Punjab had made up their minds for change and that the coming time would belong to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Highlighting Haryanas governance, Saini said the state government has provided jobs to youth through a transparent system. He added that he meets many people at his residence daily and works to resolve their problems. He said the Haryana Government has fulfilled 70 of the 217 commitments made before the elections and has advanced several schemes for the welfare of women, farmers, people with low incomes and youth. He emphasised that the fight against drugs cannot be confined to law enforcement alone. Treatment, rehabilitation, sports and employment opportunities must also be taken forward simultaneously. He said Haryana is providing free treatment facilities at de-addiction centres, while special emphasis is being laid on connecting youth with sports and other positive activities.
