Why was Kejriwal in such a hurry to get flats for Rohingyas and Bangladeshis?
New Delhi: The Central government and the Arvind Kejriwal government have come face to face in the matter of giving flats to Rohingya Muslims in the national capital Delhi. Meanwhile, BJP Lok Sabha MP Gautam Gambhir has shared a picture of a letter exposing AAP. According to media reports, through this letter, the BJP has exposed the Kejriwal government. Today Delhis shameless CM is completely exposed. He sent a letter asking for flats in Bakkarwal for Rohingyas & is now doing what hes known for - GUTTER LEVEL POLITICS pic.twitter.com/wfaKR12953 Gautam Gambhir (@GautamGambhir) August 17, 2022 In fact, in the letter last year, a proposal to provide a total of 240 flats to Rohingyas was placed before the New Delhi Municipal Council. At the same time, 'URGENT' has also been written on the top of this letter, that is, the Kejriwal government wanted to get this work done as soon as possible. Sharing this letter, Gambhir has written, 'Today the shameless CM of Delhi has been completely exposed. He sent a letter asking for a flat in Bakkarwal for the Rohingyas and now he is doing what he is known for.' He also called CM Kejriwal the chief minister who did 'Gutter Chhap Siyasat'. HMO clarified that MHA hasn't given any direction to provide EWS flats to illegal migrants. Delhi CM Kejriwal worried about Rohingyas,not Delhiites. In meeting headed by Delhi CS on July29, it was decided illegal migrants be shifted toappropriatehousing: BJP spox Gaurav Bhatia pic.twitter.com/1OT8tM1Jc3 ANI (@ANI) August 17, 2022 According to the letter issued by Gambhir, the Delhi government sent the letter to the NDMC on June 23 last year. In the letter, the Kejriwal government said that restriction centres have to be prepared for 11 Bangladeshis and 71 Rohingyas. For this, along with the EWS flat, there was also a demand to give a house there. In this letter, the Kejriwal government had also talked about giving 240 EWS flats located in Bakerwal to Rohingyas. The matter was placed before the media by BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia. The Chief Secretary of Delhi had asked the NDMC on July 29 this year to hand over 240 flats at the earliest so that 'detention centres' can be built. During this, Gaurav Bhatia accused Chief Minister Kejriwal and said, ''Kejriwal's hand is with infiltrators. Heis not concerned about the people of Delhi.'' Bhatia said in this press conference, ''The policy of the Central Government is clear that there will be no compromise on national security and the resources of the country are for its citizens and not for illegal migrants.'' Bhatia said, ''Kejriwal Ji, it was your responsibility that wherever Rohingyas are living, why did you not declare that place as detention centre as per law. There is a flaw in Kejriwal's intention. Rohingya are a threat to India's security and Arvind Kejriwal is doing politics keeping national security at bay. Rohingyas are a threat to our country.''

Might Gandhi would have accepted this statement of Subhas Chandra Bose
New Delhi: Today i.e. August 18 is the death anniversary of the great freedom fighter Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. To liberate the country, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose gave the slogan 'Tum Mujhe Khoon Do, Me Tumhe Azadi Dunga'. Netaji also had a deep connection with Kashi and he had come on a secret visit to Varanasi many times. It is claimed that he also spent a few days of his last time in Kashi. His death anniversary is celebrated on August 18. Virbhadra Mitra, great-grandson of Netaji's aunt, has informed that he had many plans in mind for Kashi. His maternal uncle and aunts lived in Bengali Dyodhi. Bose came to Bengali Dyodhi twice and lived here in a very secret manner. His sister was married into the Rai family of Gorakhpur and his brother-in-law was a doctor. Many memories related to Netaji are still stored in the Bharat Kala Bhavan of Banaras Hindu University (BHU). The money of Azad Hind Fauj, a letter written by Netaji to Malviya Ji has been stored. It is mentioned in a letter that Netaji had told Mahatma Gandhi that you do not listen to partition, otherwise in the coming time, the demand for Sikhistan, and Garhwalistan will start to arise on this basis. But, Bose's words were not accepted and today the demand for separate countries like Khalistan, and Dravid Nadu has started to arise in the country and separatism has started raising its head. Let me tell you that, much before independence, Subhash Chandra Bose had liberated the Indian land Andaman and Nicobar Islands through the Azad Hind Fauj and Netaji hoisted the tricolour for the first time on December 30, 1943. If the big leaders of that time had strongly supported Netaji, perhaps we would have got independence before 1947, that too without the conditions of the British and without dividing the country.

At the same time, the Delhi HC said that the report submitted by the police in the lower court was not the final report. In fact, the woman, a resident of Delhi, had filed a petition in the lower court in January 2018, appealing to file a rape case against Hussain. In this case, the woman had alleged that Shahnawaz Hussain raped her at Chhatarpur farm house and threatened to kill her. Earlier, the police had submitted a report in the lower court and said that a case was not made out against Shahnawaz Hussain. The trial court, in its verdict, had rejected the police's contention, saying the woman's complaint contained a cognizable offence. Shahnawaz Hussain is an MLC from Bihar and was also a minister in the JD(U)-BJP coalition government in Bihar. Apart from this, Shahnawaz Hussain has also been an MP three times and he was also a minister in the Atal government.

Attempts being made to divide India in name of caste and religion for politics: KCR
Politics KCR said that unity among the countrymen, without any differences of caste, religion and sect, is important for the nation to fully reap the fruits of Independence. PTI In a veiled attack against the BJP, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday said attempts are being made to divide the country in the name of caste and religion for the sake of politics. Ensuring unity would be difficult if hatred spreads in society, he said, addressing a public meeting after inaugurating the Integrated District Offices complex of neighbouring Medchal-Malkajgiri district.If a bungalow is to be constructed, it requires a lot of effort. Destroying it takes just 10 days. Construction needs a lot of effort. Today, an attempt is being made to divide India in the name of caste and religion for the sake of mean politics. This is not at all good, he said. Unity among the countrymen, without any differences of caste, religion and sect, is important for the nation to fully reap the fruits of Independence, Rao further said. Citing the examples of countries like China, Singapore and South Korea which have witnessed great progress, the Chief Minister said the countrymen should also move ahead without any differences over caste and creed. The country is not fully benefitting though it is blessed with rivers and other natural resources, he claimed. There should be a qualitative change in national politics, he said. Observing that Telangana has achieved progress in ensuring 24x7 quality power supply, he said it is not so in neighbouring Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh or even National Capital Delhi. Telangana has also achieved plentiful supply of drinking water, he said. He alleged that attempts are being made to spoil what has been achieved in Telangana. Referring to power supply, welfare measures, social security pensions for poor, and the plantation drive in Telangana, he asked if such welfare and development programmes can be lost.Negative and destructive forces and those who would go to any extent for sake of political benefit always exist, Rao said pointing out that people should be vigilant against them. People in Telangana should be united and not fall in the trap of those who try to attract their attention, he said. Rao, also known as KCR, highlighted the numerous welfare measures and progress achieved in Telangana, including 24x7 power supply, social security pensions and availability of water. Rao, who has been extremely critical against the BJP and NDA government, on Tuesday came down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying the latter said nothing worthwhile during his Independence Day speech except delivering dialogues and displaying a turban around his head.
The company added that it has received its third aircraft in Delhi which will be put into operation on the Mumbai-Bengaluru sector shortly.

A fuel-efficient & safe highway cruiser to replace my 2012 Maruti Dzire
BHPian sunbaj recently shared this with other enthusiasts. Hello BHPians. Looking for some recommendations and suggestions on buying a new car. I am sure many are in the same dilemma as I currently am because of the numerous launches in the market along with new technology like a mild hybrid, strong hybrid and EVs and God knows what more will follow in the near future. As for my current ride, I own a Swift Dzire ZDi 2012 and will be completing 10 years by December. I am currently based out of Delhi NCR and with the absurd ruling of NGT will have to part ways with my perfectly running and extremely well-maintained car. The car was so well maintained that I have to date only used Mobil Delvac 5W40 engine oil, which would clean up the intercooler every 20K irrespective of if it was required or not. The car has been driven 85K and I on average have extracted 23 km/litre from the car. Overall extremely satisfied with the performance of the car but as fate has it will have to part with the car. To give some personal background about me, I am in my mid 40's and regularly drive between Delhi NCR and Chandigarh which was not the case earlier as things have changed on the personal front. Most likely would be having one to two trips a month between Delhi NCR and Chandigarh which is like 270 km one way and my daily office run would be approx. 40 Km to & fro. With the above said am on the lookout for a new car. Since I would be driving on the highway would like to opt-in for a safe car with at least a 4* rating. Also would be preferring a car which should be niggle free and overall give me good mileage. Would not prefer a big car and most likely be inclined to a sub-4mt SUV and even open to buying a hatchback as a status symbol or going in for an upgrade from what I currently drive is of least importance to me as I am more of a practical person and take the decision not by heart but by practical usability. Without brainer, I should have gone with a Brezza or a Nexon but what confuses me is with the new innovations and development happening in the car industry I believe that in 5 to 6 years the petrol and diesel guzzlers would be out of the market and there would hardly be any takers for the same. So I am double-minded as to whether I should invest Rs 9 to 11 lakhs in Sub SUV or buy a hatchback costing around Rs 6 to 8 lakhs and then go for an EV. I believe that in 4 to 5 years the EV market would mature and we would have a lot more options than what we currently have. Do let me know your thoughts and recommendations. PS: I till now have not done any test drive of any vehicle. Even when I bought Swift Dzire I had not even gone for a test drive. I was hell-bent on buying a Maruti as I had owned Zen and it was a niggle free ownership experience then and so has been the case with Swift Dzire. Here's what BHPian shashi792 had to say on the matter:IMHO, I would suggest a Hybrid (Strong vs. Mild is based on the usage pattern). With the NGT ban, diesel might not make sense for you. Petrol (petrol price vs. mileage perspective) alone also does not makes sense with the market these days being filled up with lots of options:My pick would be Toyota Hyryder or Vitara.My second option would be Tata Nexon EV Max if the commute is majorly in the city.Both these vehicles have their own advantages. Nexon EV is a tried and tested vehicle. On the other hand, Toyota/Maruti have their reliability and service center access as advantages.Here's what BHPian GreasyCarb55 had to say on the matter:If it wasn't for the bi-monthly 500km+ Delhi->Chandigarh run the Nexon EV or Nexon EV Max would've been a perfect choice but since that's out of the picture let's look at the other options. If you want a smaller car and later upgrade to an EV in 4-5 years I would look at one of these 3 cars:Citroen C3 Turbo - Mechanically it's the best car here, there's no doubt about that, it does lack a few features like a tachometer, climate control, adjustable headrests etc but if you want a fun to drive petrol car before going electric then I'd go for the baby Citroen with the 1.2L 110hp firecracker Inline 3 under the hood. Mileage is about 19-20kmpl, this car is manual only (6 Speed).Tata Punch - The Tata Punch is a proven car in terms of comfort, features and practicality but the bad part is the lethargic 84hp 1.2L NA petrol engine and the equally incompetent AMT gearbox. Mileage is about 16.5kmpl (AMT) and 17kmpl (Manual).Tata Altroz Diesel or Turbo Petrol - As I've said the Tata 1.2L NA Petrol engine is lethargic and if you like driving I'd avoid it but unlike the Punch, you have engine options with the Altroz. A 110hp 1.2L Turbo petrol and a 90hp 1.5L Turbo Diesel. Both of them are good engines but the Diesel is a little more fuel efficient. Mileage is about 18kmpl (Turbo Petrol) and 20-21kmpl (Turbo Diesel), both of these engines are manual only (5 Speed). There is a Tata dual-clutch automatic available but that is only available with the 1.2L NA Petrol.The on-road Delhi prices for the top models of all cars here are as follows:Tata Punch - Rs 9.5-10.5 Lakh (depending on if you opt for the IRA pack, Kaziranga edition, AMT etc)Citroen C3 Turbo - Rs 9.1 Lakh (C3 Feel 1.2 Turbo Vibe pack)Tata Altroz - Rs 10.4 Lakh (I-Turbo XZ Plus) or Rs 11.3 Lakh (Turbo Diesel XZ Plus) add 30k-40k if you want to go for the Dark edition cars.Here's what BHPian Shreyans_Jain had to say on the matter:Diesel has no future in Delhi NCR, especially with the advent of strong hybrids. Your usage pattern makes a very good case for them. Unfortunately, the City hybrid is 20L+, and the upcoming Toyota Hyryder hybrid is also expected to be 20+. Unless you are willing to spend that kind of money, just go for turbo petrol. Tata Altroz iturbo is a very good car. The base Honda City is priced only a little more and is an excellent car for its price. Should be your top choice.Here's what BHPian shancz had to say on the matter:First, all the recommendations are going to fall short of the FE you have been enjoying so you'll have to reconcile with that. Going with a safe car means keeping your list within the GNCAP 4+ rated cars. The catch is that the new Brezza and the Nexon Facelift haven't been proven yet but an educated guess would place them at better scores if tested. EVs will expand but petrol is here for 10+ years at the very least. Stuff like ethanol blending and hybrids will only enhance their life further, IMO. Some suggestions to consider for a TD, petrol and MT:BrezzaNexonAltroz iTurboXUV300Haven't listed some other 4+ star-rated cars as they might not feel like an upgrade.Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.
