  • Rahul Gandhi is doing ‘deshdroha’, Himanta Sarma’s warning to RaGa over remark on ‘Agniveer’ scheme – The Economic Times Video

    Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a no-holds-barred attack on Rahul Gandhi over the Agniveer scheme row on May 27. CM Himanta accused Rahul Gandhi of doing anti-national activity. Himanta Biswa Sarma said, “In the Agniveer scheme first you can work in the Army and then go for State Police job, Corporate job or any other job you like. Youth of our country like Agniveer scheme and that’s why lakhs of candidates are appearing for the interview. Rahul Gandhi can’t be in Army, can’t be Agniveer and can’t earn for himself. He is a burden on his mother. Rahul Gandhi is the leader of lies. That is why Rahul Gandhi should not comment on our army. By commenting against the army, Rahul Gandhi is doing ‘deshdroha’. I warn him against it.”

  • Third Eye: Kerala leaders’ pain in Delhi, Badruddin Ajmal in sweet mood, and Sanjay Raut’s theory

    From Boiling Point to Rain Relief: Both BJP and Congress leaderships had brought their respective party leaders from Kerala to Delhi to campaign among the Malayalee pockets of the national capital. While these Kerala functionaries did their job, most of them wilted due to Delhi’s unfamiliar simmering summer and heat wave. Done with their job, some of them said the biggest relief was the certain prospect of returning to the torrential downpour lashing across Kerala.

    Already in ‘Sweet Mood’: Looks like AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal believes in early celebrations. Confident of victory, he is preparing a list of people to whom he will send packets of sweets. Seeking re-election from Dhubri, Ajmal is pitted against Congress’ Rakibul Hussain. Ajmal, who is an MP since 2009, said that the largest packets would be sent to MLA and Raijor Dal president Akhil Gogoi and AJP leader Lurinjyoti Gogoi. Both are Congress allies. He said the packets will also be sent to Assam Congress chief Bhupen Borah.

    Who is Lying? Game on: Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut has claimed in his weekly column in ‘Saamana’ that BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, at the behest of the PM and Amit shah, has helped Congress’ Vikas Thakre to defeat Union minister Nitin Gadkari. While BJP leaders and even Thakre have slammed Raut, BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar took on Raut with an interesting word play. He claimed that Raut always had a habit of lying, but it has now become an ‘addiction’. Mungantiwar added that due to his ‘fertile imagination’, Raut was churning out such ‘barren ideas’.
