New Delhi: In an unexpected turn of events during a live debate on News18 India, anchor Amish Devgan, who is often perceived as a supporter of the BJP, took a humorous dig at BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla. The exchange occurred during a discussion about Ashok Tanwar’s last-minute entry into the Congress, just hours after he had campaigned for the BJP during the Haryana elections.
While defending the BJP, Shehzad Poonawalla accused the Congress of trying to win elections by inducting BJP leaders into their party. He claimed that the Congress was relying on BJP leaders to secure electoral success.
In a surprising move, Devgan, who is typically seen as favorable to the BJP and PM Modi’s government, challenged Poonawalla with a series of pointed questions. In a light-hearted yet sharp manner, Devgan questioned Poonawalla’s credibility on the matter by reminding him that several BJP leaders, including Ashok Chavan and Jitin Prasada, had previously been in the Congress before switching sides.
Devgan further pressed Poonawalla by asking him which party he had originally belonged to before joining the BJP, referencing Poonawalla’s own history as a former Congress member.

Amish Devgan schooled BJP spokesperson on his face about Ashok Tanwar joining INC just before election.
Look at Shehzad Poonawalla’s face; he miserably failed to defend his party.
This is just the beginning; many more will come after October 8😂🔥 pic.twitter.com/glqbUZOxu2

Bengaluru, Aug 11 (PTI): In response to a planned three-day strike by ASHA workers starting August 12, the Karnataka Health Department on Monday issued a notice prohibiting all officers and staff from taking leave during the protest period, except in cases of medical emergencies.
Accredited Social Health Activists workers are demanding the fixed honorarium of Rs 10,000 promised by the state government in January. They have announced a continuous state-level protest from August 12 to 14.
The notice stated, “Information about ASHA workers absent from duty within district limits will be collected daily from primary health centres, compiled at the district level, and submitted to the commissionerate by 3 pm during the protest.”
The Health Department also urged community health officers, primary health protection officers, health inspectors, and Anganwadi workers to cooperate in ensuring that health services to the public remain uninterrupted.
