Uttar Pradesh BJP | A house divided

On July 14, in a packed hall in Lucknow, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held its first state executive meeting since the 2024 Lok Sabha election results yanked away half the ground under its feet in Uttar Pradesh. Soil subsidence on that scale was bound to set off an inquisition. Who was to blame? The answer depends entirely on who’s doing the asking, with self-exoneration built into that act itself. As suggestion and innuendo filled the air, deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya made the opening verbal salvo: “Sangathan sarkar se bada tha, bada hai aur bada rahega (the party organisation was larger than the government, is larger and will continue to remain larger).” Source link

Rahul Gandhi’s remarks a sinister attempt to demonise Hindus, Hindutva: RSS functionary – Times of India

NEW DELHI: A senior RSS functionary, in the latest edition of Sangh inspired “Organiser” weekly, has maintained that the recent statement by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Parliament that ‘those who called themselves Hindu are violent, spread hatred and falsehood’ is a sinister attempt to demonise Hindus, Hindutva and a scripted conspiracy to divide society by pushing a repackaged Nehruvian Secularism on to the Indian psyche.“Although there has been an attempt by Left-Liberal-Islamist ecosystem to create a binary between Hinduism and Hindutva, their efforts did not bear fruit due to their declining political clout. But with a slightly renewed mandate in the recent Lok Sabha election, they try to push this dangerous narrative upon the country,” senior Sangh functionary J Nandakumar has ...

Rahul Gandhi’s LS Remarks Trigger ‘Hindu Hate’ Charge From BJP, INDIA Bloc Leaders Back LoP

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s pointed remarks against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Lok Sabha on Monday ignited a firestorm of protests from the treasury benches.

Caught between his mass appeal & internal apprehensions, how RSS is conflicted about Yogi Adityanath

The “succession battle” became the subject of political chatter once again when Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat visited Gorakhpur this month, days after the BJP’s underwhelming performance in the Lok Sabha elections. The spotlight was barely on the four-day RSS volunteers’ camp in the city which Bhagwat was attending. The only question on everyone’s minds was: Did Bhagwat meet Adityanath or not? The answer was supposed to carry clues as to who the RSS, the BJP’s ideological parent, would support in the impending succession battle. Or so people hoped.But how does the Sangh see Adityanath? A firebrand Hindutva icon like no other? A counterweight to the current dispensation? Or an outsider, who has not been bred in the RSS ways?Over the last seven years, he has emerge...

The agenda for Team Modi 3.0

When Narendra Modi entered the hallowed precincts of South Block on June 10, officials who had worked with him in the Prime Minister’s Office lined the corridor and greeted him with applause. Modi walked straight to his spartan corner office and the first document he signed was an order authorising the release of the 17th instalment of PM Kisan Samman Nidhi to distribute Rs 2,000 each to the 93 million farmers in the country, an expense of Rs 20,000 crore for the exchequer. For Modi, this was all familiar territory—he has been here, done this for the past 10 years, over two terms. But there is a clear difference this time.
