Vijayapura: Minister for Commerce and Industry MB Patil has issued a stern warning to activist Chakravarthy Sulibele, cautioning him that his efforts to fuel communal tensions in society will lead to legal repercussions. Patil conveyed the message that any attempt to incite communal strife would result in imprisonment for Sulibele, the founder of Yuva Brigade.

During a press conference held on Sunday, Patil expressed his dissatisfaction with Sulibele's comparison of the Congress government to Hitler's regime, stating that such remarks were inflammatory and divisive. Patil accused Sulibele of instigating disturbances in the state over the past four years, citing controversial issues such as textbooks, hijab, halal, and azaan. Patil emphasized that the government is committed to resolving these problems and restoring harmony.

Responding to Sulibele's remarks, Patil clarified that the saffron color is not exclusive to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He highlighted that the Congress party also holds religious ceremonies, hoists saffron flags at temples, and utilizes the color in their homes, underscoring the shared cultural significance of the saffron hue.

Ranchi (PTI): Taking a dig at the central investigative agencies, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Friday claimed that they were busy probing incidents like "chicken theft" while cases like the examination paper leaks in UP remain untouched at the behest of the BJP.

Soren alleged that the BJP was behind the paper leaks in the states it ruled, and the money it garnered from there was being used to fund its poll campaigns.

"The pomp and show that you are seeing from BJP in Jharkhand elections is all due to the money from paper leaks... ED, CBI, NIA which have started investigating even chicken theft cases these days did not probe paper leaks because it is the BJP that leaks these and with that money, it buys MLAs and MPs post elections," Soren alleged in a post on X.

"Exam papers were leaked in all BJP-ruled states... MP Vyapam scam claimed several lives. In Jharkhand, we made tough law post one paper leak but BJP went to Raj Bhavan terming it a black law," he alleged.

Soren claimed that had he not been "harassed" by the ED and CBI in "false" cases, he would have created several new posts in the government and ensured large-scale recruitments.
