Kalaburgi, May 4: AICC president Rahul Gandhi said that as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has helped mining czars to come out of the jails and competing for sending them to Assembly, people should not allow them to enter the Assembly again.

Addressing an election rally here on Friday, Rahul Gandhi said that PM Modi has been talking about corruption in the state.  But Modi is keeping BJP chief ministerial candidate corrupt BS Yeddyurappa and Reddy brothers beside him. Now they were given tickets. Does Modi has morality to speak about corruption, he asked.

 

It is sure that the Congress led government would come to power at the centre in 2019. Within ten days, the Congress government would waive of the farmers loans, he said denying the PM’s charges of cheating the dalits.

When the attacks were on the rise on dalits in the country, Modi is keeping silent. His slogan “Beti Bachao, Beti Padao” should be changed into “Beti Bachao BJP Shasak se”, he ridiculed.

 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not have any programmes worth mentioning. So, he has been criticizing him and Mallikarjuna Kharge personally. But he would not make personal attacks like Modi, he said.

Ranchi(PTI): The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has emerged as a surprise element in the Jharkhand assembly elections with its candidates leading in five of the six seats where the party is contesting, according to trends available on the Election Commission's website on Saturday.

RJD candidates in five assembly seats were leading over sitting BJP legislators.

In 2019, RJD had secured only the Chatra seat where its nominee Satyanand Bhokta won.

In Deoghar, RJD’s Suresh Paswan was leading by 19,581 votes over his nearest rival and BJP's sitting MLA Narayan Das after the third round of counting.

RJD’s Sanjay Prasad Yadav was ahead by 19,867 votes in Godda over BJP MLA Amit Kumar Mandal after the sixth round of counting.

In Koderma, RJD nominee Subhash Prasad Yadav, who was out on bail, was leading by a margin of 3,471 votes over BJP’s sitting legislator Neera Yadav.

Subhas Prasad Yadav, considered to be one of the close aides of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, was recently granted bail by the Supreme Court in a money laundering case.

Party’s Naresh Prasad Singh was leading by 5,159 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP’s Bishrampur MLA Ramchandra Chandravanshi.

RJD's Sanjay Kumar Singh Yadav was also leading from Hussainabad by 8,213 votes after the fourth round of counting over BJP MLA Kamlesh Kumar Singh.

Party’s candidate Rashmi Prakash, however, was trailing from Chatra by 3,776 votes.

Bhokta did not contest the elections this time, and his daughter-in-law Prakash was given a ticket.
