‘Saath Aao, Daag Mitao’: Cong’s ‘BJP Washing Machine’ Jibe After Ajit Gets Rs 1,000-Cr Relief

The Congress party launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing it of using a "washing machine" approach to absolve political allies of corruption charges.

Taking aim at the timing of the relief granted to Ajit Pawar, the Congress alleged that this pattern is consistent with the BJP’s handling of corruption allegations against political figures who align with the par...

‘Disappointing,’ says US on BJP’s accusations of Washington trying to ‘target Modi, destabilise India’

New Delhi: The US Saturday termed “disappointing” the Bharatiya Janata Party’s accusation that the State Department and “deep state” elements in Washington were trying to destabilise India in conjunction with a group of investigative journalists and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. “It’s disappointing that the ruling party in India would make these kinds of accusations,” a US Embassy spokesperson said in Delhi.

Walking a tightrope | Maharashtra’s new Devendra Fadnavis government

In June 2022, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) sprang a surprise by choosing Shiv Sena rebel Eknath Shinde as the chief minister of Maharashtra, with their own Devendra Fadnavis, in whose cabinet the former was a minister from 2014-19, as his deputy. Though it was speculated that Fadnavis would be doing some back-seat driving in the government, that was not to be. Shinde soon came into his own in terms of politics and policy, something that led to tensions within the ruling Mahayuti combine.Source link

A fight to the finish | Anti-Maoist operations

It had been a lazy overcast afternoon in Dantewada in Bastar division, south Chhattisgarh, when sudd­enly the police lines, home to the District Reserve Guard (DRG), buzzes with activity. The local commander asks the troops—formations that have both boys and girls, and which are increasingly called the “tip of the spear” owing to their successes in the fight against Maoism—to get ready for a briefing. And so they do, gathering together their checked weapons, issued ammunition and hurriedly packing rucksacks with ready-to-eat rations, first-aid kits and spare clothes—not to mention body bags.Source link

South Korea President Yoon’s Impeachment Motion Fails, Sparks Massive Protests In Seoul

A motion to impeach South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol over his brief imposition of martial law failed in the National Assembly on Saturday, as lawmakers from his ruling conservative party, the People Power Party (PPP), largely boycotted the vote. The outcome is likely to fuel public protests and deepen political instability in the country.   Impeachment required the support of 200 out of 300 members of the National Assembly. The opposition, led by the Democratic Party, controls 192 seats but needed additional backing from the ruling party. Only three PPP lawmakers participated in the vote, which was ultimately scrapped without ballot counting due to insufficient votes, news agency AP reported.   National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik expressed regret, stating, “The failure to hold a qua...

Eating spinach the right way: Boost iron and vitamin intake in 5 healthy ways – Times of India
