Congress-AAP’s Unity Strongly Needed, Should Have Fought Delhi Polls Together: Amartya Sen

Congress-AAP’s Unity Strongly Needed, Should Have Fought Delhi Polls Together: Amartya Sen

Published by Webster

New Delhi: Advocating a “strong need” for unity between the Congress and the Aam Admi Party (AAP), Nobel laureate Professor Amartya Sen said that the two parties should have fought the Delhi elections together with mutually agreed commitments. Speaking to PTI during an exclusive interview at his ancestral home here in West Bengal’s Birbhum district, Sen also said that if secularism in India were to survive, there would not only have to be unity but also agreement on things that had made India an excellent example of pluralism. “I don’t think the result of the Delhi elections should be exaggerated, but it certainly has its significance. And if the AAP had won there, that victory would have carried its own weight,” Sen told PTI. Delving deeper into the reasons behind AAP’s setback, the eminent economist said that one factor is the “lack of unity among those who did not want a Hindutva-oriented government in Delhi”. “If you look at the numbers in many seats, the margin of BJP’s advantage over the AAP was less, sometimes …

Earlier in the day, Maliwal visited Vikaspuri, where she claimed that the streets were choked with waste, posing severe health and hygiene issues for residents.

Accompanied by hundreds of women holding placards that read, “Muskuraiye, AAP Delhi Mein Hain,” Maliwal dumped the garbage outside Kejriwal’s house, using a shovel to throw waste onto the ground. Soon after, she was confronted by female police personnel and removed from the site. She was subsequently detained and taken to the Parliament Street Police Station. According to Maliwal, she was released after a few hours and an FIR was registered against her under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code for violating prohibitory orders.

Published by Webster

New Delhi: AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday made a pit stop to savour vegetable momo at a roadside stall while out campaigning.

During campaigning in New Delhi, a momo seller offering Kejriwal momos to eat,” the party said in its post. Kejriwal, an MLA from the New Delhi constituency since 2013, faces challenge from BJP’s Parvesh Verma and Congress’ Sandeep Dikshit, who have allowed no let up in their attacks on the former chief minister in their jousting for Delhi’s throne.

Purvanchalis to be deciding factor in Delhi polls again: Shahnawaz Hussain | Latest News India

Published by Parlour News

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), out of power in the Delhi assembly since 1998, is looking to make a comeback in the national capital. Its leader Syed Shahnawaz Hussain spoke to Sanjeev K Jha about wooing voters from the Purvanchali and minority communities, and the party’s strategy for the coming elections. Edited excerpts: BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain (HT Photo) Who will the minorities vote for in this election? I believe that the minority communities have decided to go with the BJP for its “sarva-dharma-sambhav” (respect for all religions) thinking, and for development. I am in regular touch with the minority leaders of both the parties [the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress], and they allege that both the parties have categorically asked their spokespersons [from minority communities] to not appear in any TV debate. How long can these parties fool the minorities in the name of our party? They (the AAP and Congress) feel that Muslims don’t have a choice but just them, so they have taken them for granted. Meanwhile, we believe in the …

‘Badlaav’ in Gidderbaha: AAP pick Dimpy Dhillon beats Amrinder Singh Warring’s wife by record margin | Chandigarh News

Published by Parlour News

Voters in Punjab’s Gidderbaha constituency appear to have paid heed to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s appeal for badlaav (change).They have elected AAP’s Hardeep Singh Dimpy Dhillon over state Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Warring’s wife Amrita Warring by a margin of 21,801 votes—the biggest for the Assembly seat. The bypoll was necessitated by the resignation of Raja Warring in June following his election as MP for Ludhiana in the Lok Sabha polls. Gidderbaha had chosen Warring for three consecutive terms—in 2012, 2017 and 2022. While the Congress came to power in 2017, Warring was an Opposition MLA in the other two terms. In 2022, his victory margin over Dhillon, then an SAD candidate, was only 1,249 votes. The AAP’s campaign targeted Warring with the allegation that he had deserted the constituency. While Dhillon polled 71,198 votes, Amrita Warring received 49,397 votes and the BJP’s Manpreet Singh Badal got only 12,174 votes. In the Lok Sabha polls, Gidderbaha overwhelmingly voted for Sarabjeet Singh Khalsa, who won the Faridkot seat as an independent MP. He received over …

How August 15 Flag Row Caused Rift Between Arvind Kejriwal, Kailash Gahlot

How August 15 Flag Row Caused Rift Between Arvind Kejriwal, Kailash Gahlot

Published by Webster

New Delhi: Senior AAP leader and Delhi Minister Kailash Gahlot resigned from the party today, but the seeds of discord between Mr Gahlot and the AAP leadership were sown on August 15 over unfurling the national flag during the Delhi government’s Independence Day celebrations, sources have said.  In the absence of the then Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was in jail on charges linked to the alleged liquor policy scam, the task of unfurling the flag was under scrutiny. Mr Kejriwal had directed that Atishi, then the Delhi Education Minister, should perform the ceremonial duty. However, Delhi Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena intervened, deeming the direction invalid and designating Delhi Home Minister Kailash Gahlot for the job instead. The Lt Governor’s decision was backed by the logic that the Home Department oversees Delhi Police, which organises the ceremonial march-past. This move, however, set off a fierce tug-of-war between the AAP-led Delhi government and the Lr Governor’s office. The AAP accused the Lt Governor of undermining its authority, calling the move “petty politics.” Atishi slammed …
