BJP-RSS wants country to wear uniform: Jairam Ramesh
Bengaluru: The BJP and the RSS want the country to wear the uniform by implementing the 'one country-one poll' policy, said Congress senior leader and MP Jairam Ramesh.
He was speaking at a symposium regarding simultaneous elections for Lok Sabha and Assembly organized by ‘Samanjas’ in Bengaluru on Thursday.
There are many languages and cultures in the country. Each state has a different political atmosphere. Meanwhile, Jairam Ramesh, who said that there was no meaning in the ‘one country-one election’ policy, said if this policy comes into existence the country will go in the hands of capitalists.
Hitler Policy: Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued the GST and called for a 'one country-one tax.' And now he is calling for one country-one election. In Germany in 1930, Hitler had called for a ‘one culture, one race, and one leader’ policy. PM Modi is going to implement such a system in India, Jairam Ramesh strongly criticized.
Rajya Sabha member KC Ramamurthy, Congress' Prof K. Radhakrishna, Muralidhar Halappa, Samanjas advisor Nataraj Gowda, Manjunath Adde, SA Ahmed, Arun Malnad were present.

Sanctity of Tirupati 'laddu prasadam' restored, unblemished now, says TTD
Tirupati ( Andhra Pradesh) (PTI): Amid concerns among devotees on the quality of ghee used in the famous Tirupati 'laddu prasadam', the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) has said sanctity of the sacred sweetmeat has been restored.
In a social media post on Friday night, the TTD, which manages the Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple, on the hills of Tirumala said the divinity and purity of Srivari Laddu is unblemished now.
“The divinity and purity of Srivari laddu is unblemished now. TTD is committed to protecting the holiness of Laddu Prasadam to the satisfaction of all the devotees,” the temple board said in the post.
The temple body managing the super-rich shrine on Friday revealed it has come across sub-standard ghee and presence of lard in samples tested for quality, echoing claims first made by Andhra Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu two days ago.
With the fingers of accusation being pointed at the previous YSRCP regime over the issue, former CM Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy described the matter as "diversion politics," and slammed it as a "concocted story."
The Centre has sought a report on the matter from the Andhra Pradesh government and promised suitable action after examining it.
Union Food Minister Pralhad Joshi called for an investigation into the allegations.
Citing a lab report on Friday, the TTD stated that there was presence of 'lard' (pig fat) and other impurities in the ghee.
TTD Executive Officer J Shyamala Rao said lab tests have revealed the presence of animal fat and lard in chosen samples and the board was in the process of blacklisting the contractor who supplied 'adulterated' ghee.
