BJP hits back at Rahul Gandhi, says his vote chori hydrogen bomb' is a damp squib
NEW DELHI: The BJP on Monday mocked Rahul Gandhi's claim that he will soon come out with a hydrogen bomb as part of his vote chori charge , saying that his atom bomb had turned out to be a damp squib, and accused him of demeaning his position of the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha with irresponsible comments. Taking on Gandhi, whose Vote Adhikar Yatra concluded in Patna, for his barbs at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said the Congress leader and his party have a history of abusing Modi. But people, he added, have repeatedly rejected Gandhi and reposed faith in the prime minister. By alleging fraud and deceit behind the BJP's victories under Modi's leadership, the Congress leader has been insulting voters, he said. This is arrogance and we will tell voters to punish him for his arrogance, he said. The former Union minister took repeated jabs at RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as well for playing second fiddle to Gandhi in Bihar despite the Congress lacking a political base in the state. Yadav has claims over the chief minister's chair but has ceded the front seat to Gandhi, he added. The Yatra, he asserted, will have no impact on the Bihar assembly polls, expected to be held in October-November. Defending the ongoing Special Intensive Review of electoral rolls in the state, Prasad claimed that the opposition's campaign against it is solely driven by two reasons. Opposition leaders want ight and might to capture booths and that infiltrators should be allowed to vote, he said, recalling the state's history of poll violence and incidents of booth-capturing. Gandhi's campaign, he asserted, is born out of his frustration over the Congress' repeated poll defeats, and if he carries on with a similar conduct, then his party will suffer an even worse fate. The BJP leader noted that the ruling party suffered setbacks in states like Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections due to the opposition's false campaign that the Modi government would change the Constitution if it were re-elected. However, people soon realised the truth and voted the BJP to record wins in Haryana and Maharashtra, he added, asserting that the ruling alliance will notch up a similar victory in Bihar. The SIR removed from electoral rolls 22 lakh dead voters and eight lakh duplicate voters, he said, wondering if their names should have been allowed on the voters' list. The BJP's sharp attack on Gandhi and his allies came after he said his party will soon come out with a hydrogen bomb of revelations about vote chori and that Modi will not be able to show his face to the country afterwards. We will not let them (BJP) murder the Constitution and that is why we took out a yatra. We got a tremendous response. People came out in large numbers and raised the slogan 'vote chor gaddi chhor', the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said. Gandhi had called his allegations about the electoral roll irregularities in the Mahadevapura assembly segment in Karnataka's Bangalore central Lok Sabha seat an atom bomb. Hitting back, Prasad said Gandhi's so-called atom bomb was not even like the Diwali firecracker that does not go off. One really has to try hard to understand what he means in his speeches in and outside Parliament... The world has not really seen the impact of a hydrogen bomb. Now Rahul Gandhi is talking about it, he said sarcastically. He accused Gandhi of repeatedly demeaning his position as the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha with his irresponsible comments. Prasad said the Congress leader did not even once condemn the use of a Hindi expletive against the prime minister from the dais during his Yatra. The expletive targeted Modi's mother but Gandhi did not say a word, and it shows his arrogance and hate against him, he added. With Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge saying that the BJP will soon discard Chief Minister and JD(U) president Nitish Kumar like trash, Prasad asserted that the BJP's alliance with Kumar was formed to rid the state of corruption and provide good governance which it has delivered. Prasad also highlighted what he described as internal rumblings within the RJD's ruling family, noting that Yadav's sister Misa Bharti, who represents Patliputra in Lok Sabha, was not part of the concluding event of the Yatra even though her constituency overlaps Patna city. He said both Gandhi and Yadav are facing trial in corruption cases but were making big claims about morality. Yadav's father and RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav was convicted on corruption charges, he said. With Gandhi spearheading an aggressive campaign against Modi, the BJP leader said he had made a similar high-decibel pitch against the prime minister in the past over a host of issues, including the Rafale aircraft purchase and the alleged use of spyware Pegasus, but found little traction. The Congress leader has spared no constitutional institutions, be it CAG or the Election Commission, from his attack as he believes that the prime minister's chair is his divine right, Prasad charged. Gandhi may believe that the prime minister's chair is his divine right, but people have and will continue to bless Modi with their votes, he said.

'Hydrogen bomb' of revelations on 'vote chori' coming, Modi will not be able to show his face: Rahul
PATNA: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday said his party will soon come out with a hydrogen bomb of revelations about vote chori and after that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not be able to show his face to the country. Speaking at the concluding event of his 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' here, Gandhi said Bihar is a revolutionary state and it had given a message to the country. We will not let them (BJP) murder the Constitution and that is why we took out a yatra. We got a tremendous response. People came out in large numbers and raised the slogan 'vote chor gaddi chhor', the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said. I want to tell the BJP people. Have you heard of anything bigger than an atom bomb, it is a hydrogen bomb. BJP people, be ready, a hydrogen bomb is coming. People are soon going to find out the reality of vote chori, Gandhi said. In the coming time, I am guaranteeing you that after the hydrogen bomb (comes), Narendra Modi ji will not be able to show his face to the country, the former Congress chief said. He said votes were stolen in Maharashtra assembly elections and then with evidence, his party showed how vote chori was done in Mahadevapura assembly segment in Karnataka's Bangalore central Lok Sabha Seat. I want to tell the youth of Bihar, vote chori means 'chori of rights, chori of democracy, chori of employment'.They will take away your ration card and other rights, he alleged. His remarks came after the INDIA bloc allies held a march marking the culmination of the 'Vote Adhikar Yatra' led by Gandhi and other Mahagathbandhan leaders that covered 1,300-km and passed through 110 assembly constituencies covering 25 of the 38 districts ahead of the upcoming state elections. The 'Gandhi se Ambedkar' march marking the culmination of the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' was stopped midway by the police at the Dak Bungalow crossing where they addressed a gathering. Gandhi was joined by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Vikassheel Insan Party chief Mukesh Sahani, CPI (ML) Liberation general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, CPI(M) general secretary M A Baby, CPI's Annie Raja, TMC MP Yusuf Pathan, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut, and other INDIA bloc leaders. The march in Patna started with the INDIA bloc leaders offering floral tributes at the statue of Mahatma Gandhi at the Gandhi Maidaan. The 'Voter Adhikar Yatra', launched by Rahul Gandhi from Sasaram on August 17, was aimed at highlighting the alleged assault on people's right to vote through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar.

We are working closely with BCCI, KSCA to design better crowd management protocols: RCB
BENGALURU: Giving a detailed plan for ' RCB Cares ', Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Monday said that the foundation will work closely with IPL and the Karnataka State Cricket Association to design better crowd management protocols after 11 people were crushed to death in a stampede during the team's trophy celebrations earlier this year. Having already announced Rs 25 lakh compensation for the families of those who lost their lives during the IPL celebrations , RCB Cares stated that it has been formed to support, empower and elevate our 12th Man Army through meaningful action. The foundation has proposed a six-point formula to achieve the goal but it can only be put to effect once it gets requisite clearance from the government authorities. The agenda includes: Providing Provide Support That Goes Beyond Financial Aid. Secondly, it wants to work closely with stadium authorities, sporting bodies, and league partners to design better crowd management protocols. The franchise is also promising a fan-safety audit framework besides training on-ground partners annually on crowd management and emergency response. In addition, the team will work to empower communities with real opportunities and invest in independent research on crowd safety. The remaining two suggestions are to elevate fan memory into something permanent and also create in-stadia jobs and nurture local talent. 'RCB Cares', according to the franchise, is a long-term plan to be closely involved with fan welfare. The inquiry that followed the tragedy in June, blamed RCB for the large gathering which ran into lakhs due to social media invitations by the team. It was also concluded that the franchise did not seek the requisite clearances to organise the celebrations and the police found itself massively outnumbered by the fans, who jostled to get inside the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
RCB Pledge To 'support, Empower And Elevate 12th Man Army' Through Meaningful Action
Karnataka State Cricket Association: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Monday unveiled a comprehensive roadmap for their new initiative, 'RCB Cares', following the tragic stampede that claimed 11 lives during the teams IPL trophy celebrations earlier this year. As part of the foundations long-term vision, RCB announced that it will collaborate closely with the IPL and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) to develop stronger crowd management protocols aimed at preventing such incidents in the future. The franchise had earlier pledged Rs 25 lakh in compensation to each of the families affected by the tragedy. Expanding on that commitment, 'RCB Cares' was introduced as a platform dedicated to support, empower and elevate our 12th Man Army through meaningful action. The newly launched RCB Cares initiative has laid out a six-point action plan aimed at prioritising fan welfare, though its implementation remains pending until the necessary approvals are secured from government authorities. At the core of the agenda is a commitment to provide support that goes beyond financial aid. The franchise also plans to work closely with stadium authorities, sporting bodies, and league partners to design better crowd management protocols, ensuring that such incidents never recur. To strengthen preventive measures, RCB has proposed introducing a fan-safety audit framework and conducting annual training for on-ground staff focused on crowd management and emergency response. The plan further outlines efforts to empower communities with real opportunities and invest in independent research on crowd safety. In addition, the franchise aims to elevate fan memory into something permanent and create in-stadia jobs and nurture local talent.

Film producer booked for assault, casteist abuse
BENGALURU: An FIR has been registered against the producer of Kannada movie Dia, Krishna Chaitanya, his associate, and others, for allegedly assaulting a woman and abusing her with vulgar and casteist remarks. The East Division Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement (DCRE) police registered the case on Friday. This is the first case registered in the East division DCRE police station, a specialised unit established by the Karnataka Government to register and probe cases of atrocities against members of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. According to the FIR, the woman, a resident of Netaji Nagar, filed a complaint stating that she along with her friend had leased 3 acres and 35 guntas of land in Kasavanahalli village in Varthur, where she has been running a nursery. On August 10, Krishna Chaitanya, along with his associate Satyanarayana Reddy and others, allegedly trespassed the land, abused her with casteist slurs, physically assaulted her and inappropriately touched her, and even threatened to kill her if she did not vacate the property. The FIR further stated that the woman had initially approached the jurisdictional Bellandur police station to lodge a complaint, but the latter allegedly refused to register a case. She then filed a complaint with the DCRE police, which said that a case has been registered under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, trespassing, assault, and outraging the modesty of a woman. The land-related documents are being verified and notice will be issued to the accused for questioning, an officer said. Further investigations are on.
Gandhi Se Ambedkar rally in Patna today, SIR pitch up
PATNA: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, RJDs Tejashwi Prasad Yadav and a host of other top leaders of INDIA bloc will participate in a march in the state capital on Monday, marking the conclusion of Voter Adhikar Yatra against ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and discrepancies in the exercise. The march, Gandhi Se Ambedkar, will be taken out after 16-day-long yatra, that covered around 1,300-km and passed through 110 assembly constituencies in 25 districts. The yatra was taken out on August 17 from Sasaram to protest against the vote theft in the garb of SIR. Besides Rahul and Tejashwi, prominent leaders like CPM general secretary MA Baby, CPI general secretary D Raja, JMM chief Hemant Soren, TMC MP Yusuf Pathan and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut will participate in the march. Bihar Congress president Rajesh Kumar said that the march would be taken out from near Gandhi statue at the Gandhi Maidan to Ambedkar statue near the Patna High Court. He said that the administration has already given permission for the march. This is not a political event. We are taking out a peaceful march to fight for peoples right to vote, he said. The Voter Adhikar Yatra evoked a huge response as Rahul, Tejashwi, CPI (M-L) general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya and VIPs Mukesh Sahani accused the BJP of trying to steal votes in complicity with the Election Commission. Leaders from across the country, including CMs of Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh as well as senior leaders like Akhilesh Yadav and Priyanka Gandhi joined the yatra. The participation of leaders from across the country has given strength to the fight against vote theft by the BJP with the help of the EC, said AICC media chairman Pawan Khera in Patna. As INDIA succeeded in showcasing unity during the yatra, the real test for them will begin during discussions on seat-sharing. The question is if the RJD, which had contested 144 seats and won 75, would concede the demand of allies. Indications are that RJD may settle at 135-140 seats and Congress 50-60.
