FARIDABAD: The BJP has neither "intent" nor the "right policies" and 90 per cent of the candidates who contest as its nominees in the upcoming Lok Sabha and Assembly polls will lose, Raj Kumar Saini, the BJP's lawmaker from Haryana's Kurukshetra claimed today.

Mr Saini, who has repeatedly criticised the BJP in recent times, was addressing a 'Loktantra Bachao' (Save Democracy) rally in the Tigaon village in Kurukshetra district.

The BJP does not have the right policies nor does it have the right intent and 90 per cent of those who contest on the party's ticket in the upcoming Assembly and Lok Sabha polls will lose, he said.

Mr Saini also attacked the Indian National Lok Dal claiming a party whose leaders faced serious corruption charges was dreaming of coming to power in the state.

He said the problem of unemployment cannot be solved by giving speeches. It would require work at the ground level, Mr Saini said.

He promised to raise issues related to the poor. Mr Saini has been in the news in recent times for his criticism of the BJP.

Bengaluru (PTI): A 46-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly blackmailing a woman using her explicit photos and videos to force her into a sexual relationship with him, police said on Saturday.

The accused, Haniyur Chandregowda, is a member of the Child Welfare Committee in Ramanagara, they said.

Obscene photos of several other women were also found on his mobile phone during examination, police said.

The case came to light after a 43-year-old woman, who works as a make-up artist, filed a complaint at the Rajarajeshwari Nagar police station on April 30, they said.

According to FIR, the woman met Chandregowda in 2021. He told her he was connected to TV serials and took her phone number on the pretext of offering make-up work. The woman had been living separately from her husband for about eight years.

The accused started visiting her house frequently and told her he was a lecturer with a good salary and promised to marry her and entered into a physical relationship with her, she alleged.

Police said Chandregowda later used private photos and videos of their intimate moments to threaten her. He allegedly warned that he would make them public if she did not agree to his demands, and continued the relationship under pressure.

The FIR also stated that in 2024, he rented a house using the woman's documents by falsely claiming to be her husband.

The woman also alleged that he used a fake ID claiming he was a Superintendent of Police to avoid paying toll fees.

She claimed that he had taken around Rs 5 lakh from her since 2021 and had not returned the money.

The FIR further stated that he added his name to the educational documents of the woman's daughter, pretending to be her husband.

Based on the complaint, a case under sections 69 (sexual intercourse by deceitful means) and 204 (impersonating a public servant) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered. He was later arrested, a senior police officer said.
