People will hit out at INDIA alliance in upcoming Assembly polls over its anti-Sanatan Dharma stand
Indore, (PTI): Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha president and Lok Sabha MP Tejasvi Surya on Thursday said people are going to deal a big blow to the opposition bloc INDIA in the Assembly polls in five states, including Madhya Pradesh, for its posture against Sanatan Dharma.
Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, a part of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, had recently claimed Sanatan Dharma had sown divisions in society and had sought its eradication on the lines of diseases like malaria and coronavirus.
Asked about the DMK leader's statement, Surya said, "Sanatan Dharma is India's identity and uniqueness. I believe in the upcoming Assembly polls in five states, the posture of the opposition alliance towards Sanatan Dharma will be discussed and the public will respond sharply." The parties in the opposition INDIA alliance have joined hands to eradicate Sanatan Dharma, he said with reference to remarks of Stalin and his DMK colleague A Raja.
He said the Congress would be wiped out in Telangana, adding that its leader Rahul Gandhi was a political novice who did not understand the pulse of the people.
Amid speculation that West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee might come to campaign against BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya in Indore-1 Assembly seat, Surya said, "I along with Vijayvargiya fought against her dictatorial government." "She was frightened of Vijayvargiya in Kolkata itself. Indore is the fortress of the BJP," he claimed.
Vijayvargiya was BJP in charge for WB during Assembly elections in the eastern state.
Assembly elections will be held in MP, Rajasthan, Telangana, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram in November, while votes will counted on December 3.

Deve Gowda hints at NDA tie-up for local body, Panchayat polls
Bengaluru: JD(S) supremo and former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda has indicated that the party is open to an understanding with the NDA in the upcoming local body, taluk and zilla panchayat elections.
Speaking to reporters at J.P. Bhavan on Wednesday, he said the JD(S) is a regional party, while the BJP is a national party. “We have to wait and see what decision they take regarding a pre-poll alliance. As far as local body elections are concerned, we will discuss the matter together before taking a decision,” he said.
Responding to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s allegation that the JD(S) does not give positions to anyone outside the family, Deve Gowda said the charge has no substance. “My memory is still strong. I will respond to everything at the appropriate time,” he remarked.
He also said that a JD(S) convention will be held in Vijayapura on February 27 and that he has been invited to participate in the event.
