New Delhi: A large number of Sikhs, including members of the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee, joined the BJP on Saturday. Citing a host of measures taken by the government to help the minority community, BJP president J P Nadda on the occasion said if anybody has really worked for the community, it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Nadda also cited central government decisions such as the opening of the Kartarpur Sahib corridor, the FCRA registration for donations to the Golden Temple and the action against accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases. He said the BJP highly regarded the contribution and sacrifices of the community for the country and will keep working for its welfare. The BJP has been in an overdrive to deepen its bond with Sikhs and is looking to put up a strong fight in the Lok Sabha polls in Punjab, where they are in a majority. A number of well known Sikh politicians from the state have joined the party recently.

Rajya Sabha Polls: BJP Nominates JP Nadda From Gujarat, Ashok Chavan From Maharashtra |
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday released another list of seven names for the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls, nominating party president JP Nadda from Gujarat and newly inducted leader Ashok Chavan from Maharashtra. In its latest list, the BJP has declared four names from Gujarat and three from Maharashtra. Besides JP Nadda, the BJP nominated Govindbhai Dholakia, Mayanbhai Nayak and Jashvantsinh Parmar from Gujarat.
For Maharashtra, besides Ashok Chavan, the party has named Medha Kulkarni and Ajit Gopchhade. Former Maharashtra chief minister Chavan quit Congress earlier this week and joined the BJP in the presence of deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Nadda, who is currently a Rajya Sabha member from Himachal Pradesh, is being fielded from Gujarat since the BJP does not have the numbers to win the lone seat in the Congress-ruled hill state.
Earlier today, the BJP announced that it’s nominating Union ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw from Odisha and L Murugan from Madhya Pradesh for the upcoming elections. On Sunday, the BJP named 14 candidates for the Rajya Sabha polls, including former Union Minister R P N Singh and party spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi.
The last day for filing nomination papers is February 15. The term for Rajya Sabha MPs is six years and elections are held after every two years for 33 per cent of the seats. Currently, the Rajya Sabha has a strength of 245 members.
Out of the total 245 members, out of which 233 are representatives of the States and Union Territories of Delhi, Puducherry Jammu and Kashmir (w.e.f. 31.10. 2019) 12 are nominated by the President. Based on population, each state is allocated a certain number of candidates in the Upper House.
Members of the state legislative assemblies choose Rajya Sabha members through an indirect election system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote.
The Election Commission has scheduled the Rajya Sabha elections for 15 states, including Uttar Pradesh, for February 27. Voting will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on this date, with the deadline for nominations set for February 15. The results of the elections will be announced on the same day, February 27. The Election Commission has announced the biennial Rajya Sabha polls on February 27 for 56 seats, as the tenure of incumbents ends in April.

By PTI
NEW DELHI: With an eye on the next Lok Sabha polls in 2024, BJP president J P Nadda on Tuesday asked party leaders to launch a “house to house” campaign to reach out to people and build an “emotional connect” with them.
Addressing the party’s office-bearers from across the country, he said all state units will launch the exercise and said it should not be limited to handing over some party literature to people.
Party members should discuss issues with people, understand their problems and help them in addressing their concerns, he said, according to a party statement.
In the meeting, intensive discussions were also held on a number of assembly elections in 2023, including in Tripura, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, and presentations were made, it said.
The highlight of Nadda’s address on the last day of the two-day meeting was his emphasis on connecting with people.
“BJP workers should build direct contact with every home through the ‘house to house’ campaign so that they are seen as members of the households, standing with them in most difficult times,” he said.
India’s G-20 presidency also came in for a discussion with leaders stressing that people should be informed about this “global achievement” of the country.
Nadda also noted that various welfare measures of the Modi government have uplifted the living standards of over 60 crore people and said the BJP should reach out to them.

AAP has broken records of corruption set by Congress: BJP chief J P Nadda
By PTI
NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi has become synonymous with scams and broken the records of corruption set by the Congress, BJP president J P Nadda alleged on Sunday.
He also asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will “trounce” the AAP in the MCD election and thereafter, in the Delhi assembly polls.
“The AAP has become a party of scams. It has broken all records of corruption set by Congress. It needs to be packed off the lock, stock and barrel,” Nadda said at the BJP’s “Panch Parmeshwar Sammelan” held at the Ramlila Maidan here ahead of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls, which are likely to be held in December.
The BJP chief said the Arvind Kejriwal-led party had promised to provide a clean and healthy government in Delhi “but it has committed scam after scam in the power and excise departments, in the purchase of DTC buses, in the construction of classrooms and toilets and in the Delhi Jal Board…Kejriwal has ruined Delhi”.
“The court has sent three AAP MLAs, including a minister, to jail. Five of their MLAs are out on bail. That is their record, he added.
“We need to keep in mind that people who have been oscillating between jail and bail are MLAs in the AAP,” Nadda said.
“They wanted to bring in Lokpal Bill, sat on hunger strike, made lofty statements of giving a healthy administration. They are now even embarrassing those who had an unhealthy government,” he said.
Chief Minister Kejriwal had said he would enforce prohibition in Delhi if his party came to power, but has opened liquor shops in every neighbourhood after his party formed government, Nadda said.
There are no principals in 745 schools run by the Delhi government, while 70 per cent of such schools do not teach science and commerce to students, he alleged.
“We fail to understand how you will make poor children doctors. Spreading lies and giving false figures to people has become your nature, Kejriwalji,” the BJP chief said.
Delhi had 6,600 buses when Kejriwal became chief minister and he promised to increase the tally to 11,000 but it has reduced to 3,680, Nadda said.
“The BJP will trounce the AAP in the MCD polls and thereafter, in the assembly election. Go door to door and tell the people of Delhi about the AAP’s corruption,” he told BJP workers.
Nadda said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has realised the goal of “sabka sath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas”.
“Other political parties are afraid of holding rallies at the Ramlila Maidan due to its sheer size. But even a workers’ conference of the BJP is enough to fill the ground. The BJP is the largest party in the world and the only party in the country that has a mass base,” he said.
When other political parties “went into the ICU” and their leaders restricted themselves to Twitter and video conferences during the COVID-19 pandemic, the workers of the BJP committed themselves to serve the people of the country, Nadda said.
He said people in the US, the UK and Europe still have masks on.
“Modiji gave not one but two COVID-19 vaccines within nine months to the country and this is the reason you are sitting close to each other without wearing a mask. So far, 219 crore vaccine doses have been administered,” Nadda said.
The BJP chief said the trifurcation of the MCD led to a shortage of funds, but the Delhi unit of the party kept working tirelessly.
The MCD was trifurcated in 2012 during Sheila Dikshit’s tenure as chief minister.
It was reunified by merging three civic bodies — North, South and East Municipal Corporations — through the Delhi Municipal Corporation (Amendment) Act, 2022.
Nadda said that the Modi government gave a health cover of Rs 5 lakh a year to 10.74 crore poor families across the country under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, but the AAP government did not implement it in Delhi.
Also, the Kejriwal government has not been able to build a single hospital in the capital so far, he added.
“Take any scheme of the Modi government — Gareeb Kalyan Anna Yojana, Ujala Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Mudra Yojana, Jan Dhan Yojana, Startup India, Standup India — these are aimed at strengthening Dalits, poor people, women, youngsters, farmers and the deprived sections of the society,” Nadda said.
In a veiled attack on the Gandhi family, he said the Congress has been reduced to a party of “brothers and sisters”.
For the MCD polls, “Panch parmeshwar” or five workers in each booth have been appointed by the BJP in Delhi over the last 45 days.
There are around 13,800 polling booths in the national capital.

Will BJP seize the oppurtunity? Fadnavis meets Nadda to discuss Maharashtra crisis
By PTI
NEW DELHI: Former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis met BJP president J P Nadda here on Tuesday amid the spiralling political crisis in the state threatening the three-party Maha Vikas Adhadi government’s existence.
Fadnavis is believed to have briefed Nadda about the unfolding political developments in the western state.
He arrived in the national capital earlier to discuss the issue with the party’s top brass, with 39 rebel Shiv Sena MLAs and at least 10 independent legislators from the state lodged in a five-star hotel in Assam and working on overdrive to bring down the Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray-led government.
The BJP has denied any role in the rebellion but Fadnavis is being seen to be playing a key role in working out a post-MVA dispensation which he may head with support from the Sena rebels.
Senior BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar on Tuesday suggested that the saffron party is waiting for the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to declare that they don’t have the numbers.
He reiterated that the BJP is in a wait-and-watch mode and that it does not need to prove a majority on the floor of the House as of now.
The political crisis triggered by Shiv Sena rebel Eknath Shinde’s rebellion with a majority of MLAs of his party entered the next phase with the Supreme Court on Monday keeping in abeyance the disqualification proceedings of 16 rebels before the Deputy Speaker till July 11 and also refusing to pass any interim order on the state government’s plea that there should not be any floor test in the Assembly.
Speaking to reporters at the Nagpur airport, Mungantiwar said, “We have decided to wait and watch. Considering the present situation, a core team will be formed in the coming days, which will deliberate on the subject and then a decision will be taken.”
The former finance minister further said that the BJP does not need to prove the majority as of now.
“The party is now waiting to see when the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance will declare that it is in minority (that they lacked numbers in House)”.
Asked if BJP MLAs from the Vidarbha region will be herded to Mumbai after holding a meeting of legislators in Nagpur, Mungantiwar maintained that he had not come to take the MLAs to Mumbai, and it was an organisational meeting to discuss ways to take welfare schemes launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to people.
Talking about the Maharashtra crisis, BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya on Tuesday said his party was watching the turmoil in the ruling Shiv Sena from a distance.
The main constituent of the Maha Vikas Aghadi in the neighbouring state plunged into disarray on June 21 after senior leader Eknath Shinde rebelled against Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and was now in Guwahati with a sizable number of dissidents.
“We have no role in the current turmoil in Maharashtra. This (rebellion) is internal strife of the Shiv Sena. We are just standing at a distance and watching it,” Vijayvargiya told reporters.
Speaking about reports of Sainiks loyal to Thackeray attacking offices of rebel MLAs, he said efforts were being made to create a “West Bengal like situation” in Maharashtra by spreading fear and terror.
Vijayvargiya, who was one of the key strategists for the BJP for the WB polls, added that people of Maharashtra would not want the state to fall prey to anarchy.

UP government formation: Nadda meets Anupriya Patel and Sanjay Nishad
By PTI
NEW DELHI: BJP president J P Nadda on Thursday met leaders of the party’s allies in Uttar Pradesh — Anupriya Patel of the Apna Dal(S) and Sanjay Nishad of the Nishad party — at his residence here as part of its government formation exercise.
Nadda’s meeting with the allies came a day after Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held deliberations with him as the party worked to firm up the composition of the new government following its thumping win in the assembly polls.
Nadda met Patel and Nishad separately along with BJP’s Uttar Pradesh poll-incharge Dharmendra Pradhan and state unit chief Swatantra Dev Singh, and is believed to have discussed matter related to government formation.
While Adityanath is all but certain to occupy the top post, the BJP is grappling with the question whether to have deputy chief minister.
It is also considering if outgoing deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya who lost the election can be reinstated in his old position. Though the BJP secured a resounding win, Maurya lost his Sirathu seat.
The BJP had on Monday announced its former president and Union minister Amit Shah as the observer for government formation in Uttar Pradesh.
The BJP has been carrying out an extensive exercise to pick ministers in Uttar Pradesh, politically India’s most important state where the party has been dominant since 2014.
A senior leader said they are taking into account a host of factors, including age, education, experience, gender, region and caste, to ensure that the new government is seen as socially representative and also reflective of the party’s agenda of good governance.
Adityanath had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other top leaders on Sunday. His meeting with the prime minister had lasted for more than 100 minutes.
Top BJP leaders, including Modi, Shah, Rajnath Singh and Nadda, have held extensive parleys in the last few days, working out the broad outlines of the new governments in four states, including Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, ahead of the swearing-in ceremonies expected next week.
The BJP won 255 seats out of 403 in Uttar Pradesh, while its allies Apna Dal (S) and Nirbal Indian Shoshit Hamara Aam Dal (Nishad party) bagged 12 and six seats, respectively.

West Bengal synonymous with corruption, anarchy under TMC rule: JP Nadda
By PTI
DEHRADUN/KOLKATA: BJP president JP Nadda on Tuesday said West Bengal has become synonymous with corruption, bloodshed and anarchy under the TMC rule, prompting a sharp reaction from the state’s CM Mamata Banerjee.
Lashing out at Nadda, the West Bengal CM termed his statement an attempt to “defame” the state and said the BJP should look at the situation in states ruled by it.
Nadda made the statement while addressing people of the Bengali community at Rudrapur in Uttarakhand’s Udham Singh Nagar district.
He said, “There was a time when Bengal showed the way to the rest of the country but today it is passing through a bad phase.”

“The name of West Bengal, which was once associated with great social reformers, thinkers, philosophers, literary figures and freedom fighters, has become synonymous with corruption, bloodshed and anarchy under the TMC,” he said.
Naming Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Sri Aurobindo, Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, Subhas Chandra Bose and Jan Sangh founder Syama Prasad Mookerjee, he drew a comparison between its “glorious” past and “ugly” present.
“TMC leaders in West Bengal today are involved in corrupt practices in every scheme, including the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana. Murders, rapes, crime against women, human trafficking and sexual harassment cases are at their peak. There have been 123 sexual harassment cases and 53 murders in West Bengal since the Assembly election results are out. People have been forced to leave their homes. The BJP has given shelter to 191 refugees,” he claimed.
He appealed to people of the community to first re-elect the BJP in Uttarakhand and follow it up with a victory to the party in West Bengal in a democratic manner so that the “grim picture” changes.
Highlighting outreach efforts by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to people of Indian origin living anywhere in the world, Nadda spoke of his visit to a Matua community temple in Bangladesh during his visit to that country.

He said Modi has come to the rescue of members of Indian communities, be it Sikhs or Parsis, whenever they have suffered persecution.
The Citizenship Amendment Act is aimed at giving a life of dignity to people of Indian origin who escape to India after suffering persecution in foreign lands, he said.
Nadda also reminded Bengalis living in Uttarakhand how they had been exempted by the Pushkar Singh Dhami government from the compulsion of writing the word “East Pakistan” in their caste certificates.
The Uttarakhand cabinet in August cleared a proposal to drop the word “East Pakistan” from caste certificates issued to members of the displaced Bengali community settled mostly in Udham Singh Nagar district of the state.
Reacting to the remarks, Mamata said the BJP should look at the situation in states ruled by it.
Not a single untoward incident was reported in West Bengal during the recent festivals, she said in Kolkata.
Several states are emulating the schemes brought out by her government, proving “What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow”, she claimed, quoting Gopal Krishna Gokhale.
“There are several people who are trying to defame Bengal. Today, I saw the BJP’s national president (Nadda) delivering a speech to Bengalis settled in Uttarakhand. He said there is lawlessness in Bengal. I will say charity begins at home. Look at what is happening in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tripura and Assam. Please look in the mirror and see your faces before criticising Bengal,” she said without elaborating.

Assembly polls next year top agenda of BJP national executive meet on Nov 7
By PTI
NEW DELHI: Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh and six other states next year and current issues top the agenda of the BJP’s national executive meeting scheduled to be held on Sunday, November 7, 2021, in a hybrid mode, party leaders said on Friday.
This will be the BJP’s first national executive meeting after J P Nadda took charge as the party president.
“In view of the ongoing COVID-19 protocols, all state presidents, state general secretaries (organisation) and national executive members of that respective state will attend the meeting virtually from their respective state party offices…,” the BJP said in a communication to all its state units.
National office-bearers, Union ministers and Delhi leaders who are members of the national executive will attend the meeting physically at the NDMC Convention Centre here on November 7.
According to the party communication to its state units, the agenda features “discussion on the forthcoming assembly elections and other current issues.”
Assembly elections in seven states are due in 2022.
Five states — Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Goa and Manipur — will go to polls early next year, while elections in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat will be held in the later part of the year.
Barring Punjab, the BJP is in power in all these states.
Political observers view 2022 as a very crucial year for the BJP as the party has the uphill task of retaining power in six states, including politically crucial Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat.
The one-day national executive meeting will begin with the presidential address by Nadda and conclude with the valedictory address by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
