Mumbai: The Shiv Sena on Monday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), this time using Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat's 'enlightening' speech in Raigad on March 30.

"Corruption has increased in the country. This is the reason why there are so many anti-corruption agitations all over India. Instead of doing soul-searching, it is being ignored," the Shiv Sena said, quoting Bhagwat's speech at the Raigad Fort.

"These days, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is carrying out a 'Halla-Bol' in Maharashtra against corruption. It appears that Bhagwat briefly grabbed the reins of the agitation, and pushed down corruption from the Raigad hill top," the Sena said in edits in the party mouthpieces 'Saamana' and 'Dopahar Ka Saamana'.

Referring to the 2014 general elections, the Sena said it was on the issue of corruption that lakhs of RSS workers toiled hard to evict the erstwhile (UPA) government.

"Despite having Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister, corruption has gone up in the country, and this is declared by Bhagwat himself. Corruption is being discussed all over, the opposition paralysed Parliament for a week on this issue, Anna Hazare carried out a week-long agitation in New Delhi on the same," the edit pointed out.

The situation today is marked by inflation, undermining of the education system, corruption and poor administration, it said.

Bhopal, Nov 2: The Madhya Pradesh government will provide credit cards to those rearing cows and their progeny, similar to those available to farmers, to help manage the upkeep of cattle, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced on Saturday.

“Along with the people growing crops, credit cards will also be made available to those rearing cows and their progeny to enable them to manage expenses on their care,” Yadav said during the state-level ‘Govardhan Puja’ ceremony at Ravindra Bhawan here.

He said that people who care for more than 10 cows will be given special financial aid, adding that the state government will invest and make arrangements for rearing 5,000 to 10,000 cows under the limits of municipal Corporations.

He said that people found guilty of slaughtering cows in MP will get seven years of imprisonment.

Earlier, he took part in the Govardhan Puja at his official house.

Later in Gwalior, where he attended two such events, Yadav said the state would protect the cow and its offspring.

Ministers and MLAs across the state also participated in Govardhan Puja.

Before holding this function at the state level, the BJP government in MP had organised ‘Shastra Puja’ (worshipping of weapons) on Dussehra in a similar manner, with the CM, his ministers and MLAs across the state joining in.
