Sanjay Jha lists out 60 reasons to vote BJP out in 2024 Lok Sabha Elections
In a bold move sparking widespread discussion across social media platforms, prominent Indian author, politician, and former national spokesperson for the Indian National Congress (INC) party, Sanjay Jha, has taken to his X account (formerly known as Twitter) to articulate a list of 60 reasons why voters should reconsider supporting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections.
Under the title "WHY YOU MUST VOTE BJP OUT IN 2024: 60 REASONS WITH FACTS AND EVIDENCE," Jha outlined a series of grievances, accompanied by factual evidence, aimed at scrutinizing the performance and policies of the ruling BJP government.
Drawing attention to issues ranging from alleged corruption scandals to socio-economic disparities, Jha's post resonated with a sense of urgency and a call to action for voters to critically evaluate the trajectory of India's political landscape.
Electoral Bonds Scandal:
Highlighting what he describes as "The BIGGEST SCAM SINCE 1947," Jha pointed to the controversy surrounding Electoral Bonds, alleging a nexus of corruption, criminality, and crony capitalism within the political sphere. He emphasized the government's refusal to disclose information about the funding of political parties, raising concerns about transparency and accountability in the electoral process.
Democracy Under Threat:
Jha underscored instances of electoral malpractice, such as the Chandigarh Mayor Election fraud captured on camera, which he asserted undermined the democratic principles of free and fair elections. He accused the government of perpetuating a culture of impunity and disregard for democratic norms.
Patanjali-COVID Controversy:
Drawing attention to alleged irregularities surrounding Patanjali's activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jha questioned the government's motives in allowing the company to operate amid widespread health concerns. He suggested a lack of accountability in addressing potential exploitation of public health crises for financial gain.
Unfulfilled Promises to Farmers:
Citing unmet commitments to double farmers' incomes by 2022 and stagnating agricultural growth, Jha highlighted the disillusionment among farmers and the failure of government policies to address rural livelihoods effectively.
Youth Unemployment Crisis:
Addressing the alarming rates of unemployment among India's youth, Jha contended that the government's failure to generate sufficient job opportunities has undermined the country's demographic dividend and dented its economic prospects.
Abuse of Power and Political Maneuvering:
Accusing the BJP of abusing its authority to target opposition leaders through legal and administrative means, Jha raised concerns about the erosion of democratic institutions and the politicization of law enforcement agencies.
Humanitarian Tragedies and Governance Failures:
Reflecting on the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, Jha criticized what he perceived as a lack of empathy and accountability in managing public health crises, citing instances of politicization and neglect.
Controversies Surrounding Vaccination Campaign:
Pointing to the politicization of the vaccination drive, Jha condemned the government's alleged focus on self-promotion over acknowledging the contributions of vaccine manufacturers and addressing public health concerns.
Ethical Concerns and Allegations of Misconduct:
Raising questions about the ethical conduct of BJP leaders and their alleged involvement in criminal activities, Jha underscored the need for accountability and transparency in governance.
Economic Mismanagement and Socio-Economic Disparities:
Highlighting disparities in economic growth and wealth distribution, Jha argued that the government's policies have exacerbated inequality and failed to address the needs of marginalized communities.
Systemic Weaknesses and Institutional Decay:
Expressing concern over the weakening of independent institutions and the erosion of democratic norms, Jha warned against the consolidation of power and the stifling of dissent.
Environmental Degradation and Public Health Risks:
Citing India's dismal rankings in global indices related to human development, environmental performance, and press freedom, Jha underscored the urgency of addressing systemic challenges and prioritizing sustainable development.
Secrecy Surrounding Government Funds and Programs:
Questioning the lack of transparency surrounding government initiatives such as the PM-CARES Fund, Jha calls for greater accountability and oversight to prevent misuse of public resources.
Cultural and Social Concerns:
Raising alarm over instances of communal violence, hate speech, and attacks on freedom of expression, Jha emphasized the importance of protecting democratic values and fostering inclusive social cohesion.

UP: Govt hospital staff booked for sexually assaulting woman in pretext of ultrasound test
Gorakhpur (PTI): A hospital employee was booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in the pretext of an ultrasound test here in the district women's hospital, police said on Saturday.
According to the complaint, the woman, a resident of the Gulriha area, visited the district women's hospital on Thursday morning for an ultrasound test.
She was directed to a room, where Abhimanyu Gupta was conducting ultrasounds. When her turn came, the accused allegedly stared at her and told her to remove all her clothes, claiming it was necessary for the test and that a massage would also be required, she said.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
