Bagalkote, December 25: “BJP should win to ensure respect to our blood and protect our religion and Narendra Modi who respects the soil of the country should become PM again”, Union Minister Ananth Kumar Hegde.
Speaking at the birthday celebrations of former prime minister Bharat Rathna Atal Bihari Vajpayee, organized by the BJP unit here on Tuesday, the Union Minister said that “Vajpayee was a legend who lived with us. He did not know deception and cheating. Throughout his life, he has maintained clean image”, he said.
“More than BJP, the entire world is looking forward for the victory of Modi. The world has been looking at India differently. It has started during Vajpayee period and it has become a huge tree in Modi period”, he said.
“In the beginning, I was against politics. I did not know inner and outer aspects of politics. I had resigned from my position. Then Vajpayee called me and convinced me. Vajpayee was not only a prime minister and BJP leader, but also a great leader that the country has ever seen. It is not possible to explain about him in words”, he opined.

Followed poll processes transparently, will review all legitimate concerns: EC to Cong
New Delhi (PTI): The Election Commission on Saturday asserted that all poll procedures it followed in Maharashtra were transparent and assured that it would review all legitimate concerns flagged by the Congress, which alleged serious inconsistencies.
In its interim response to the party, the poll authority invited a Congress delegation on December 3 to discuss concerns expressed by it.
The Congress on Friday raised with the Election Commission "serious and grave inconsistencies" which it said were being revealed in the data relating to the polling and counting processes for the recently-concluded Maharashtra Assembly polls and sought an in-person hearing to present relevant evidence.
In the response, the EC reiterated that the process was transparent with the involvement of candidates or their agents at every stage.
The commission also assured of a review of the Congress' legitimate concerns and a written response after hearing the party's delegation in person.
It asserted that a transparent electoral roll updation process was undertaken with the involvement of all political parties.
Responding to the issue regarding the voter turnout data, the EC asserted that there was no discrepancy in it and the data was available with all candidates polling station-wise and is verifiable.
The gap in the 5 pm polling data and the final voter turnout was due to procedural priorities, as presiding officers perform multiple statutory duties near the close of polling before updating the voter turnout data.
As an additional disclosure measure, an EC press note at around 11:45 pm was introduced during the 2024 Lok Sabha election and followed subsequently during all assembly polls thereafter, the poll body told the Congress.
