PM hints at FIFA-like event in India, unveils slew of projects in NE
By Express News Service
GUWAHATI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a slew of development projects in poll-bound Tripura and Meghalaya, and said that the northeast region has benefited the most from various development initiatives of the Centre.
Addressing a public rally in Agartala, he said the region, which was earlier known for conflicts, is now synonymous with development, connectivity and cleanliness. Highlighting the BJP government’s focus on development, he said his government is spending as much as Rs 7 lakh crore on infrastructure this year. In contrast, the amount was less than Rs 2 lakh crore eight years ago, he added.
In Meghalaya, Modi chose to speak the language of football. Speaking at a function in Shillong, he said India will host a mega global sports event like the FIFA World Cup in the near future where Indians will cheer for the tricolour. Dropping hints that such an event will be held in the region, he said the World Cup might be underway in Qatar but the enthusiasm and excitement were no less in the Northeast.
“Today I can say from Shillong that even if we have our eyes on the foreign teams playing the game in Qatar, I have faith in the power of our youth. The day is not far off when we will celebrate the same kind of extravaganza and cheer for the tricolour,” Modi said amid thunderous applause. He was speaking after attending the golden jubilee celebration of the North Eastern Council.
“In football, if someone plays against the spirit of the game, then the player is shown red card and sent off. In a similar way, over the last five years in the Northeast, we have shown red card to any obstacles against development,” Modi said, adding, “We tried to remove corruption, division, violence, vote-bank politics to pave the way for development.”

MP: Congress leader calls for “killing” PM Modi to save Constitution; govt orders FIR
By PTI
BHIOPAL: A senior Congress leader in Madhya Pradesh has made a controversial remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking people to be prepared to “kill” Modi to save the Constitution and the future of minorities and Dalits.
The state government has ordered the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against the Congress leader and former state minister, Raja Pateria, who made the remarks.
In a video that surfaced on social media on Monday morning, Pateria can be heard telling Congress workers, “be ready to kill Modi. Kill in the sense of defeating him”.
“Modi will end elections. Modi will divide on the basis of religion, caste and language. The future of Dalits, tribals and minorities is in danger. If you want to save the Constitution, then be ready to kill Modi. Kill in the sense of defeating him,” Pateria told a meeting of Congress workers at Pawai town in Panna district.
MP Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan targeted Congress over Pateria’s remarks, saying the reality of those who are undertaking the Bharat Jodo Yatra is coming to the fore.
“An FIR is being registered against him (Pateria) and the law will take its course,” he said.
After the video surfaced, state Home Minister Narottam Mishra told reporters Pateria’s statement against the prime minister is very objectionable and he was immediately directing the superintendent of police to register an FIR against the Congress leader.
Earlier, state BJP chief VD Sharma shared the video clip Pateria’s video and demanded an inquiry wondering if there is a plot to assassinate the prime minister. “Former Minister Raja Pateria’s incitement of public and Congress workers to assassinate Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi is extremely serious and condemnable. Was there any preparation for this conspiracy in Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Todo Yatra from Madhya Pradesh recently? This should be investigated,” Sharma tweeted in Hindi.
Meanwhile, Pateria issued a video statement clarifying he meant to “defeat” PM Modi in the elections but his remarks were wrongly presented.
“A video related to a mandal meeting yesterday at Pawai has surfaced. I am a follower of Mahatma Gandhi who can’t talk about killing anyone. It was wrongly presented. I wanted to say defeat Modi to protect the Constitution, dalits, tribals and minorities and also to remove unemployment,” he said.
CM Chouhan said the “reality of those who are undertaking Bharat Jodo Yatra is coming to the fore”.
“Congress people are not able to compete with PM Narendra Modi in the field, that’s why a Congress leader is talking about killing him. This is the height of hatred. True feelings of Congress are being revealed. An FIR is being registered against him and law will take its course,” the chief minister said in a statement.

Gujarat landslide, himachal stunner
Express News Service
NEW DELHI: Brand Modi registered a historic victory in the Gujarat elections where it shattered all previous records and confined the opposition Congress to its worst ever tally, which is insufficient to even claim the post of leader of opposition in the state Assembly. To get the post, the Congress needs a minimum of 19 seats in the 182-member House, but has only 17.
The other state that went to polls Himachal Pradesh saw the Congress wresting power from the BJP. The grand old party won 40 seats against the BJP’s 25. Unpopularity of Chief Minister Jairam Thakur and the Congress party’s election promises of restoring the old pension scheme, free 300 units of power and `1,500 allowance to women saw the state continuing the decades old tradition of not re-electing a sitting government.
The BJP under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who addressed 31 rallies in Gujarat, won 156 seats and is set to form a government for the seventh consecutive term, equaling the Left Front record in West Bengal. The party also surpassed its previous best performance of winning 127 seats in the state in 2002, and bettered Madhavsinh Solanki’s all-time record of winning 149 seats for the Congress in 1985.
Such was the popularity of the BJP in this election that it swept the tribal and minority seats, which were considered Congress strongholds before this election. The Congress citadel of Saurashtra, which helped bring the party within striking distance of power in the 2017 election, also came crumbling down under the BJP’s onslaught.
As celebrations broke out, the party’s Gujarat president C R Patil announced that Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel will take his oath of office on December 12. The ceremony will be attended by the prime minister, home minister Amit Shah and national president J P Nadda, besides a number of Union ministers and chief ministers.
Addressing party workers at the BJP’s Delhi headquarters, Modi termed the Gujarat victory as the beginning of the golden period for new India. He said the BJP will deliver a developed India to the youth of the country by 2047. Nadda attributed the landslide to the prime minister’s credibility and people’s trust in his leadership. Amit Shah termed the victory as a rejection of those who do politics of hollow promises, freebies and appeasement. He said it shows the “unwavering faith of the public in Narendra Modi’s development model”.
As for the AAP, it garnered nearly 13% votes in Gujarat, bringing down the Congress share from 40% in the last election to 27%. The AAP’s vote share catapulted it to the status of a national party. In Himachal, the Congress frontrunner for the post of chief minister, Kaul Singh Thakur, lost the election just like BJP’s Prem Kumar Dhumal did while his party won the last election.
Another senior Congress leader, Asha Kumari, who was also in the running for CM-ship, lost. The top contenders for the post now are state party president Pratibha Singh, senior MLA Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, state working president Rajendra Rana, who had defeated Dhumal in the last election, former state president Kuldip Rathore, and leader of opposition in the outgoing House Mukesh Agnihotri.

Medha Patkar slams Modi, says BJP targeting her presence in Bharat Jodo Yatra for ‘vote bank politics’
By Online Desk
Activist Medha Patkar has slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for targetting the Congress over her presence in Bharat Jodo Yatra, reports said.
The activist referred to Modi and other BJP leaders and questioned their misusing her name.
According to reports, while addressing a press conference in Mumbai, Medha Patkar questioned, “Why are they misusing my name?” She further added, “why are they appealing to people via our name that people should not vote for Congress or AAP. Are they scared that people won’t vote for them?”
Medha Patkar said that she participated in the Rahul Gandhi-led Yatra because she was invited along with many others for a dialogue. The activist reminded that she was not the only one who walked with Rahul Gandhi.
The activist made it clear that she is not into politics and the BJP is targetting her for vote bank politics.
Why Sardar Sarovar Dam (SSD) is being repeatedly mentioned by the BJP leaders? Are they scared of us?” “This shows how Gujarat loots other states and their benefits,” Patkar reportedly said.
“We used to sit in fast with the tribals from ghati who were affected,” Patkar said, “The water from the dam hasn’t reached many farms in the Kutch area because smaller canals which connect the main canal were not made.”
It may be recalled that Modi had slammed Rahul Gandhi, without naming him, for “taking out a padyatra with a woman who stalled the Narmada dam project for three decades.”
“Ask the Congress when it comes to demand your vote that you are taking out a padyatra by keeping your hand on the shoulders of those who were against Narmada dam. What would have happened had Narmada dam not been built,” Modi had said.
