Rajiv-Farooq rigged 1987 polls: Ram Madhav
Jammu, Nov 3:BJP national vice president Ram Madhav on Tuesday, in a direct dig at LOP in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and his ally NC leadership, alleged that contrary to Congress accusations (against BJP), it was former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi joined by the then Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah, who had massively rigged assembly elections in 1987, leading to emergence of terrorism in J&K. Referring to the Congress allegations against the Modi government of committing electoral frauds, Madhav asserted, In fact, in the history of the country, only two Prime Ministers actually committed such proven electoral frauds. One was Rahuljis grand-mother Indira Gandhi, whose election was declared void by Allahabad court proving the charge that the official election machinery was misused by her to emerge victorious. In response, Indira imposed an emergency in the country. Secondly in 1987 in J&K assembly elections, Rahuls father and the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in league with Farooq Abdullah, who was then J&K Chief Minister had resorted to large-scale irregularities in the election process, leading to emergence of terrorism here (in J&K). These are well-recorded facts, he maintained. Madhav, accompanied by J&K BJP general secretaries Gopal Mahajan, Baldev Singh Billawaria, chief spokesperson Sunil Sethi and other senior leaders, was addressing a press conference at BJP headquarter, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. He accused the Congress of attempting to fulfill its avowed objective of regime change through anarchy, violence and riots as it could not win power through democratic means of electoral battle. But people are with Modiji and this became evident again during their oppositions much hyped Ramlila Maidan rally, where 23 parties together could hardly bring 50,000 or 60,000 people against their haughty claims of 1 million people. BJP, even in a normal rally in an assembly constituency of Jammu, can bring 5000 people, he maintained. With regard to questions about NC rebellion post cabinet expansion and speculations linking his visit to efforts of BJP government formation, he refused to make any comment. Im here to address only the issue related to fake propaganda being run by the opposition on Special Intensive Revision (SIR) across the country and particularly in the union capital. For the past few months, the main opposition party Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi have been busy spreading lies that the Election Commission has manipulated the country's electoral system, Madhav said. The Election Commission will reply to these allegations and they have already submitted a detailed affidavit in the Supreme Court vis-a-vis entire process of SIR and all facts related to it. But we want to expose Congress real intentions behind the controversy they wilfully created to achieve its objective of regime-change but not through democratic means. Their leaders are spelling out openly at every public forum and social media that they wanted regime-change like it happened in Bangladesh and Nepal, he said. It was because the opposition had realised that they could not defeat BJP, the Prime Minister Narenda Modi electorally, so they (Congress and other opposition parties) wanted to overthrow democratically-elected regime and wrest power through anarchy, creating doubts about constitutional institutions, Madhav alleged. However, the people of India will never allow the Congress to succeed in its intentions to spread anarchy in the country, he asserted. Madhav described all allegations of Congress regarding SIR exercise, presently underway in many parts of the country and already completed in several states, as out and out white lies. BJP national vice president reiterated that the Election Commission, through constitutional exercise SIR, was actually cleansing the electoral system of all sins of Congress which fiddled with the electoral rolls during the past several decades. He asserted that the Congress's politics of confusion, confrontation and institutional distrust would not succeed in India. Madhav stated the SIR exercise, being undertaken after nearly two decades, was a legitimate democratic process in which Booth Level Officers (BLOs) were conducting door-to-door verification to ensure the accuracy and integrity of electoral rolls and identify illegal entries, including those of foreign nationals residing illegally in India. He alleged that the Congress wanted illegal voters to remain on electoral rolls because its political calculations depended on manipulating the electoral environment. He said the opposition's repeated allegations against constitutional institutions were part of a larger conspiracy to create street unrest and engineer political instability, drawing parallels with developments in neighbouring Bangladesh and Nepal. Regarding Congress main allegation that the names of 13 crore voters were deleted (through SIR exercise), Madhav questioned why it could not bring those people to the fore. Where are those 13 Cr voters whose names, according to the Congress, have been deleted? SIR is cleansing electoral rolls of discrepancies through constitutionally valid SIR exercise, happening after a gap of 20 years. The names of dead (around 2-3 Cr), transferred (around 6 Cr), non-existent voters (1 or 2 Cr) and infiltrators who are illegal voters have been deleted and are being deleted. Like in Jammu, Rohingyas have settled at many places. The names of such infiltrators, illegal immigrants get deleted. This is imperative. Does the Congress want those infiltrators to be included in the electoral rolls as its prospective voters, he threw a poser. He asserted that one to two crore people, who were genuine voters yet their names were deleted through computer based mechanism, could go and get their names included in the electoral rolls as per the set procedure and there was no bar on it. He alleged that earlier Congress was blaming EVMs for its defeats but could not establish the charge and currently, it was accusing BJP of stealing mandate through vote-Chori. Between 2014 and 2024, the Congress lost 56 assembly polls and three parliamentary elections i.e., 2014, 2019 and 2024. But that time present Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar was not there. Then how was Congress defeated? They (Congress) have no logic and it is resorting to political conspiracy. The government is willing to convene a special Parliament session but they (opposition) are running away. They are only trying to provoke people through false propaganda, Madhav alleged. He mocked that the Congress was crediting BJP for its electoral victories in Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana stating that they were made to win by it (BJP) so that it (BJP) could justify its electoral fraud in other states and parliamentary polls. Nothing could be more ridiculous than this illogical explanation about their wins through the same electoral system, which they are criticising. This depicts how pitiable their condition is, he said. Madhav explained that they (Congress) were seeking replacement of EVMs with the ballot papers. In the recent municipal polls conducted through ballot papers in October, Congress could win only two wards out of 42 wards. In MLC elections, which are always conducted through ballot papers, out of 28 seats, BJP-allies won 16 seats and BJP won 13 seats but Congress could win only one seat. Responding to another question, he said that there could be possibilities of some discrepancies or errors in SIR exercise, conducted through computer-based mechanisms. Those errors can always be rectified. If the names of genuine voters get deleted, they can get their names added in the voter lists through relevant forms. Revision is a constitutional process. In Uttarakhand, where Im (BJP) Prabhari, names deleted mainly comprised Hindu voters and this happened at some other places. Eligible persons can always get their names included, he explained.

Telangana to continue dialogue with Maharashtra on Tummidihatti Barrage
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Nov 3 (IANS) The Telangana government on Tuesday said that it will continue dialogue with Maharashtra on the proposed construction of Tummidihatti Barrage. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy asked the officials of the Irrigation Department to maintain a good rapport and continue the dialogue with the Maharashtra government. He directed them to be fully prepared with comprehensive details of the areas likely to be submerged, emphasising that all relevant documents, including existing agreements and other important issues, should be exchanged with the Maharashtra government. The Chief Minister and Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy held a review meeting with officials on the Tummidihatti barrage proposed to be constructed across the Pranahita River on the TelanganaMaharashtra border. According to the Chief Ministers Office (CMO), Revanth Reddy made some suggestions to the officials with regard to the recent discussions held with Maharashtra and other related issues. The Chief Minister said that the government is prepared to provide adequate compensation for any lands in Maharashtra that may be affected by submergence and is also ready to deposit funds into a joint account of the two state governments. Telangana would not object to Maharashtra conducting its own survey on the potential submergence of lands, he said. The officials were ordered to furnish all the information sought by Maharashtra in a timely manner. A Telangana delegation led by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy had met Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on October 26, and the latter had responded positively to consider Telangana's request to give the nod for construction of Tummidihatti Barrage with a height of 152 metres. While expressing willingness to revisit Telangana's request, Fadnavis emphasised that several technical, environmental, and administrative steps would have to be completed before reaching a final conclusion. The Maharashtra Chief Minister had proposed the constitution of a joint committee of officials headed by the Principal Secretaries of the Irrigation Departments of both states. The committee would examine the proposed barrage height, water availability, submergence implications, affected agricultural lands, compensation requirements, and other technical matters. It would also examine the assessments and concerns of both states regarding the extent of submergence and the possible impact on land and local communities, including alternative approaches where necessary. It was suggested that officials and technical experts from both states work together to prepare a clear timeline and roadmap for further discussions and necessary action. It was agreed that the way forward would be worked out by the officials and experts of the two states.

Heavy rains in coastal Andhra under Cyclone Murasus impact
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Nov 3 (IANS) Heavy rains continue to lash south coastal Andhra Pradesh under the impact of severe cyclonic storm 'Murasu', which crossed the coast in the early hours of Tuesday.

At Suryalanka beach, the seawater had come out to about 50 metres inland due to strong waves.

The Chief Minister emphasised the need for data-driven decision-making in every aspect. Officials said a 2 per cent reduction in the rainfall deficit was recorded over the last 24 hours and a further 2 per cent reduction is expected over the next five days. Groundwater levels have risen by 0.45 metres in a single day. It is estimated that groundwater reserves could be recharged by 20 to 30 TMC (thousand million cubic feet).

Cyclone Murasu: NDRF deploys 14 teams in Andhra; 6 districts identified as worst-affected
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Nov 3 (IANS) The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) on Tuesday said it has deployed 14 teams across Andhra Pradesh following the landfall of Cyclone Murasu, with six districts identified as the worst-affected areas. No casualties have been reported so far, officials said. Speaking to IANS, NDRF Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Mohsen Shahedi said the landfall process began early Tuesday morning and was completed by around 9 a.m., according to the latest information received from the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The landfall process of Cyclone Murasu began at around 1:00 a.m. early this morning. According to the latest information we received from the IMD, the landfall process was completed at around 9:00 a.m. Fourteen NDRF teams have been deployed in Andhra Pradesh in view of the cyclone. Three teams have been moved from Tamil Nadu, DIG Shahedi said. He said six districts in Andhra Pradesh had been identified as the areas likely to face the most significant impact, with NDRF personnel working alongside the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and the local administration to carry out coordinated operations. The NDRF DIG said the force had also made arrangements in other states that were expected to experience the impact of the cyclone, pointing out that strong winds and heavy rainfall could affect a large geographical area. The impact zone of a cyclone is usually extensive due to strong winds and rainfall. Five states were identified as potentially affected by the cyclone. Besides Andhra Pradesh, parts of Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and northern Tamil Nadu were also expected to be affected. Accordingly, NDRF teams were deployed across all these states, DIG Shahedi said. Providing an update on the cyclone's expected movement and intensity, he said the system was likely to weaken gradually, reducing the possibility of significant impacts beyond Andhra Pradesh. According to the information till now, this cyclone will turn into a cyclonic storm soon and then into a deep depression by midnight. So, the impact of this cyclone outside Andhra is expected to be less, he said. DIG Shahedi also confirmed that no casualties had been reported so far, as the authorities continued to monitor the situation and carry out response operations in the affected areas.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The BJP on Tuesday rallied behind Union Home Minister Amit Shah's remarks on infiltrators. Justifying his remarks, many BJP leaders concurred that that several opposition parties, who apparently banked on support of 'infiltrators' in influencing the poll outcome, were now apprehensive as the process of deleting such names from electoral rolls has begun. BJP Bihar President Sanjay Saraogi said that Amit Shah was absolutely right and had repeatedly raised the issue on various platforms. Amit Shah was absolutely right. He has been saying this repeatedly on every platform, but these people are neither able to see nor hear it. In Congress-led states like Karnataka and Kerala, one crore names have been deleted in Karnataka. Senior ministers there are saying that the SIR was conducted properly, he said. BJP Telangana President Ramchandar Rao said that Amit Shah's padayatra in Hyderabad had received a good response and that the Home Minister had clarified the party's position on the issue. Yesterday, Amit Shah's padayatra was a great show in Hyderabad. He clarified to the people that Congress wants infiltrator voters to remain on the voter list so that they can win elections. They have won elections in many states because of infiltrators, and now that the process of deleting these voters has started, they are afraid, he said. Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav also backed the Home Minister's remarks, saying that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise had identified three crore people who had allegedly got their names illegally included in the country's electoral rolls and were consuming its resources. Home Minister Amit Shah was absolutely right. The SIR exercise clearly identified three crore people who had illegally got their names added to the country's voter list and were consuming the country's resources. Action must be taken against such people, he said. However, JD(U) National General Secretary Shyam Rajak said that ensuring the accuracy of electoral rolls was the government's responsibility and that officials and election authorities should also be held accountable for any irregularities. The question is not about Rahul Gandhi or Amit Shah. It is the government's responsibility to do its job. If someone is here illegally, has come from another country and got their name registered, then somewhere your own officials and election authorities are responsible for these mistakes. There is no need to look for who made the mistakes now. Remove whatever is incorrect and re-enter the names of those who are eligible, he said. Meanwhile, addressing a gathering during his padayatra in Hyderabad on Monday, Amit Shah alleged that the Congress was opposing the SIR exercise to protect Bangladeshi infiltrators from being removed from electoral rolls. By opposing the SIR, the Congress party wants to protect Bangladeshi infiltrators in the country's electoral rolls. But I have come here today to say that Rahul ji and Revanth Reddy ji can put in as much effort as they want. The BJP will ensure that every single infiltrator is removed from the voter list and driven out of the country, he said. He further alleged that the Congress and its allies were opposing the SIR because infiltrators constituted their vote bank, adding that the BJP stood firmly behind the exercise. Only those who are citizens of this country will be allowed to vote here, HM Shah said.

Your party formed, headed by foreigner: BJP T'gana chief to Rahul over 'foreign help' remark
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Nov 3 (IANS) BJP Telangana President Ramchandar Rao on Tuesday hit back at Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, over his social media post alleging that Prime Minister Narendra Modi receives foreign financial support and backing. Rao questioned Gandhi's own alleged links with foreign entities and accused him of making baseless allegations against the BJP. Speaking to IANS, Rao said Gandhi should remember that his party was founded by a foreigner and alleged that it is now almost being led by a foreigner. Rahul Gandhi has tweeted on X that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is receiving foreign financial support and backing. He must first remember that his party was formed by a foreigner and is now almost headed by a foreigner, Rao said. He further accused Gandhi of supporting foreign countries, including Bangladesh and Nepal, and alleged that he receives backing from US-based investor George Soros. You take examples from countries like Bangladesh and Nepal and receive support from a foreigner like George Soros. You speak against India during your visits to Europe and America, he said. Rao also accused the Congress leader of questioning India's position on Pakistan following surgical strikes and signing agreements with China. He questioned why Gandhi was accusing the BJP of receiving foreign support while allegedly having foreign backing himself. You speak against India and support foreign countries like Pakistan when surgical strikes take place. You signed a pact with a country like China. You yourself are half foreign. Then why are you alleging that the BJP is receiving foreign support? In fact, you are the one receiving foreign support. Such statements reflect intellectual hollowness, Rao told IANS. Meanwhile, West Bengal Minister Dilip Ghosh also criticised Gandhi over his remarks, alleging that the Congress leader was attempting to create unrest in the country with the support of foreign money and forces. Creating unrest in the country with foreign money, foreign forces and foreign inspiration, opposing the government and government institutions, and tarnishing the country's image has become Rahul Gandhi's tradition. He is moving in the same direction, Ghosh said. Earlier on Monday, Gandhi had accused Prime Minister Modi of receiving foreign help to become and remain in power. He also alleged that India's financial system was controlled and supported by foreign entities and claimed that foreign social media platforms acked the Prime Minister.

Telangana BJP Chief Spokesperson NV Subhash on Tuesday demanded that Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay suspend Tamil Nadu Sports Minister Aadhav Arjuna after the latter demanded the introduction of a separate state flag. Speaking to ANI, Subhash questioned the logic behind asking for a separate flag and constitution, warning that it opens the door to demands for a separate currency and prime minister. How can he ask for a separate state, a separate flag? Tomorrow he will ask for a separate currency, a separate Prime Minister, a separate state, a separate constitution, and separate, you know, the powers on that, he said. He further noted that India has previously witnessed such a situation, noting that following 1947, over 550 princely states and unions were successfully integrated under the leadership of then Home Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. He pointed out the bloodshed witnessed in Telangana and how the Hyderabad State was integrated into the Indian Union 16 months after 1947 und...
