Rahul Gandhi slams Modi for waiving industrialists’ loan
Bidar, May 3: AICC president Rahul Gandhi slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who waived of the loans to the tune of thousands of crores of 15 industrialists, for not waiving off the loans taken by the farmers in nationalized banks.
Speaking at Janasheervad rally at Aurad in Bidar on Thursday, Rahul Gandhi said that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had waived off over Rs 8,000 crore loans of farmers availed from cooperative banks. But Modi who recalls Basavanna is not following what he is saying. But he accompanied Yeddyurappa and four former ministers who have been to jail. BJP is running its show on RSS ideology. But Congress ideology is inclusive, he said.
“Let Narendra Modi criticize me like anything. I would not criticize him personally. He is a prime minister for entire country and so as to me”, he said.
“As to why you are not speaking anything about Neerav Modi? How will you be so calm even after Neeerav Modi fled the country looting thousands of crores? Amith Shah son has involved in corruption. But being the Prime Minister, you have not spoken a single word about it”, he blasted.
Dalits are being killed in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat states. But Modi who speaks about Dr BR Ambedkar, is silent about these killings. Modi who speaks about ‘Bheti Bachao’, is keeping mum on BJP’s rape accused MLA and those who justify Katua rape incident. Why this grave silence, he asked.

Will Champai Soren become a game-changer for BJP in Jharkhand polls?
Ranchi: Champai Soren, a prominent figure in Jharkhand’s statehood movement, is contesting the 2024 assembly elections from Seraikela, a seat he has consistently held since 1991.
However, there is a surprising shift in his political journey this year. Having resigned from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) earlier this year, Soren is now representing the BJP, a move that could significantly impact the electoral dynamics in the state.
Soren’s switiching is seen as a strategic benefit for the saffron party, which has been working to expand its appeal among Jharkhand’s tribal communities, a demographic traditionally aligned with the JMM. His departure from the JMM, led by Shibu Soren and his son Hemant Soren, was fueled by dissatisfaction with the state government’s policies, which he claimed had failed to address tribal concerns.
Also known as "Jharkhand’s Tiger" for his instrumental role in the statehood movement of the 1990s, Champai Soren has respect and influence among tribal voters. His decision to switch the party could be a turning point in the BJP’s efforts to gain a stronger hold in a state where tribal votes often decide the outcome.
