Assam CM targets Rahul Gandhi at Bihar rally, sparks row with Bangladesh remark
Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 4 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during the BJP's Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao campaign in Bihar's Purnea district on Wednesday, triggering political debate with his controversial remarks linking the Congress leader to Bangladesh. Defending the revision of electoral rolls and the removal of names such as Babar and Aurangzeb from voter lists, Sarma said there was nothing objectionable about the exercise and accused Rahul Gandhi of raising unwarranted concerns over the issue. Taking a dig at the Congress leader, Sarma said that he, along with Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari, would send Rahul Gandhi to Bangladesh, where he could perhaps win an election. He remarked that since Rahul Gandhi was unable to win elections in Bihar, West Bengal or Assam, Bangladesh could be a suitable destination for him. Sarma also targeted Rahul Gandhi over his allegations of 'vote theft', saying that the issue was not about stealing votes but about 'stealing hearts'. Referring to the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, he said a grand temple now stands at the site where the Babri Masjid had existed for nearly 500 years. He questioned whether this development could also be described as 'stealing hearts'. Speaking about the Seemanchal region of Bihar, Assam and West Bengal, the Assam Chief Minister said the situation in these areas was well known and demanded that the Election Commission undertake a fresh Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. He reiterated that names such as Babar and Aurangzeb should be removed from voter lists, arguing that such action represented a 'theft of hearts' rather than a 'theft of votes'. His remarks have sparked political discussion, particularly over references to Bangladesh and the linkage of electoral roll revision with historical and religious figures. The BJP's Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao campaign was launched in Bhagalpur earlier this week and is being carried forward across several regions as part of the party's outreach programme.

Democracy strangled. 1984: Your father was Prime Minister when thousands of innocent Sikhs were massacred in Delhi. Congress still cannot escape that bloodstained legacy, she added. The chief minister highlighted the years in which Congress suffered major setbacks, saying: 2014, 2019, 2024. Three consecutive terms. The fourth is already your biggest nightmare. Bhaagna mat! Parliament of India, New Delhi. No visa required. Gupta's remarks came in response to Gandhi's demand for a public debate with the Prime Minister. Challenging PM Modi, Gandhi had asked him to choose any stage or venue to discuss allegations of anti-national activities and alleged connections with foreign forces. 24 hours have passed, Modi ji. I challenged you. You say that the opposition is anti-national. Pick any stage, any venue, and debate me. Who is the anti-national? Who has connections with foreign forces?

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 4 (IANS) Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday sharply rebuked Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi for demanding a public debate with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asserting that Parliament itself is the proper venue for such exchanges. Responding to Gandhis challenge, Sitharaman said on her X handle, Rahul ji, you ask the Prime Minister to choose a venue for a debate. There is already one: Parliament, where you happen to be the LoP. She pointed out that Home Minister Amit Shah had only a day earlier offered a special session of Parliament to discuss the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and the functioning of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). Why not show the same enthusiasm for a debate in Parliament that you show while issuing challenges on social media? she asked. Sitharaman accused the Congress leader and the INDIA alliance of repeatedly walking out of the House whenever the government sought to respond to their allegations. Demanding answers also carries an obligation to hear them, she said. There have been several occasions when you and your party have walked out of Parliament while the government was responding to your allegations. How do you claim to be so eager for a debate when you dont even stay to hear the other side? she said. The Finance Minister further criticised the Opposition for disrupting parliamentary proceedings, resulting in entire sittings being washed out. If you are so keen on debating, why not allow Parliament to function in the first place? she questioned. Sitharaman also took aim at a recent mock Parliament organised by the Congress at the residence of the party president. Frankly, that was more a mockery of Parliament than a mock Parliament. You found the time and enthusiasm for that exercise. Surely, the real Parliament deserves at least as much, she said. Calling on Gandhi to uphold democratic institutions, Sitharaman said those who speak endlessly about protecting democracy and the Constitution must show equal respect for the institutions they have established. She urged the Leader of Opposition to bring specific allegations backed by evidence rather than frivolously throwing together long lists of accusations. You say, Daro mat. Then bring the facts, face the scrutiny and stay to hear the answers. In the House, uphold the standards of debate you demand from others, she concluded.
