BJP will be forced to rethink its PM candidate: Sibal

Congress today said BJP will be forced to rethink its prime ministerial candidate if snooping allegations against former Gujarat minister Amit Shah were true and demanded a CBI inquiry into the issue.

Shah was today accused of misusing his powers and police machinery for illegal surveillance of a young woman in 2009.

"If these claims are true, it is a very serious allegation and BJP will be forced to rethink their PM candidate," Law Minister Kapil Sibal told reporters.

"BJP accusing us of dirty tricks is expected, but this is what they did with Tehelka and Tarun Tejpal also. Why would a father want his daughter stalked? This issue has to be investigated," the senior Congress leader said.

You will suffer electric shock if you press non-Congress buttons on EVMs, Ajit Jogi warns voters

RAIGARH: Returning officer of Kunkuri assembly constituency in Chhattisgarh has served a notice on senior Congress leader and former chief minister Ajit Jogi for allegedly violating the poll code by misleading tribal voters over functioning of EVMs when they cast their vote.

BJP had filed a complaint against Jogi in this regard. According to election officials, addressing a public meeting in Kunkuri constituency of Jashpur district on November 11, Jogi had said people will suffer an electric shock if they press buttons on EVMs, other than that of the Congress candidate in the fray, while exercising their franchise.

BJP has accused Jogi of threatening the electorate to vote in favour of the Congress candidate contesting from the seat by making the remarks, said collector and district election officer LS Ken.

"BJP in its complaint stated that while addressing people, Jogi asked them to press the button bearing 'Punja chhap' — the Congress symbol of hand — on EVMs. He told them that they will receive an electric shock if they press buttons next to other symbols on EVMs except that of Congress," the collector added.

The notice was issued to Jogi on Tuesday by returning officer BP Mourya after verifying the videography of the programme, seeking his reply in this connection, Ken said.

He said future course of action would depend upon Jogi's reply.

Kunkuri seat will be going to polls in the second and final phase on November 19.

BJP has accused that the statement of Jogi has generated a sense of fear among tribal voters in the assembly segment and they are nervous over using EVMs.

Nothing but age old trick of fear politics used by Congressis. Keeping people poor, underprivileged & illiterate helps these guys to use the kinda vile & spiteful tricks they are using here.

Thanks for the shout out but these kinds of discussions go nowhere here. The debate seems completely polarised between the many BJP supporters & the fewer Congress supporters here to a point where everything lands in the gutter within the first few posts. The same kind of intolerance that is shown by certain members of political parties at an dissenting opinion is replicated almost faithfully here too.

As for the opinion on Narendra Modi & Rahul Gandhi, neither are the best their party can offer up. However Modi seems here to stay for now & while RG may or may not be a candidate, I think the Congress would be much better served with Chidambaram as a PM, if they do win. On the BJP side, I would think someone like Manohar Parrikar would have all the positives of Modi without the negative but public perception at this time is backing Modi. Those who oppose Modi completely are very unlikely to vote BJP regardless of who their candidate is, those who will, seem to be on Modi's side even if there is some ambivalence in some quarters. The Congress has lost the economic plot more than a bit in this term and with that gone, they have very little to convince people for another shot which is why they are falling back on their old tricks of populism & pandering. Modi while being on a much sounder economic platform does not come across as being well rounded enough to be a PM, atleast not until now. Maybe that will change but we need to wait & see. The baggage he brings in is not inconsiderable & will bring adverse international attention, atleast in the beginning. However the most distasteful part seems to be a proliferation of his supporters who seem unable to discuss without landing up in the gutter with invectives & personal attacks and an absolute intolerance for dissent (something that one congress supporter here also seems to revel in). We will all be poorer not being able to discuss, appreciate & make allowance for contrary opinions. Vajpayee was a master of that craft (probably the last master), unfortunately, it seems to have gone out with him.

There are many people willing to have a debate and if u focus upon people who abuse on their emotions,then thats what you look for.

P Chdiambaram is a brazen crook and a silly tosser,he is such a notorious asshole who couldn't even pay money and win his LS seat and then did some horrible stuff to win.

Nobody from the congress have stature and aukaat to match Modi.

Manohar Parikkar,nice guy,technocrat and if he cant handle a bunch of Nigerians,then what good is it?

PTI : Washington, Sat Nov 16 2013, 15:33 hrs


Republican leaders have denied extending an invitation to Narendra Modi to address Congressional leaders and Indian-Americans via video link next week and accused a US-based supporter of the BJP's prime ministerial candidate of "misrepresenting" their party.

Chicago-based Shalli Kumar, a supporter of Modi, has been served with a "cease and desist" letter by the office of Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers advising him to stop misrepresenting the Republican party and one of its top lawmakers.

Amidst mounting criticism from secular forces, Republican party leaders yesterday said that they have not invited Modi to address them via video link at the Capitol Hill on November 19, in what could be a major embarrassment for the Gujarat Chief Minister.

Kumar, who had earlier this year taken a group of Republican lawmakers to Gandhinagar for meeting Modi, was sent the cease and desist letter by Rodgers, after it was brought to her notice that the Indian-American has issued a flyer in which he had inappropriately used the House seal and also put names and pictures of several top Republican lawmakers without their permission.

However, in a letter, which was circulated along with Kumar's invitation letter, Rodgers had mentioned about "Bharat Divas" and the invitation to Modi to address the Indian- American-community and the Congressional leaders via video link. Rodgers' office did not respond to questions on this letter.

A close associate of Modi in the US confirmed that the Gujarat Chief Minister was not addressing the controversial Capitol Hill meeting.

"He (Modi) will not address the November 19 event," Jagdish Sewani of the Indian-American Public Affairs Committee, said.

"Please be assured that Mr Modi has not been invited to address the House GOP Meetup. We have sent a 'cease and desist' letter to Mr Shalli Kumar advising him to stop misrepresenting the GOP Conference and Chairman McMorris Rodgers," Nicolas D Muzin, Director of Outreach & Coalitions, House Republican Conference, said in an email.

The email was in response to some Indian-Americans who had raised the issue of Modi being invited to address the Republican Party's annual meet at the Capitol Hill for Indian- Americans.

"Additionally, I believe he (Kumar) is in violation of ethics rules regarding improper use of the Congressional seal, stationary, and indicia. I have been in touch with the House Committee on Administration about steps we can take to properly distance ourselves from his actions," Muzin said in the email.

Congressman Pete Sessions in a statement distanced himself from the November 19 event called "Bharat Divas" at the Capitol Hill organised by the National Indian American Public Policy Institute (NIAPPI) headed by Kumar.

This event was being organised on the same day when Rogers and Ed Royce, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, had invited scores of Indian-Americans from across the country at the "Indian-American Meetup".

'The Indian-American Meetup', organised by the Republican party Conference and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, is scheduled to be addressed by top Republican leaders.

"The Meetup will provide a unique opportunity for leaders of Indian-American communities across the country to connect with Members of Congress to discuss legislative and policy priories, both on the domestic and foreign policy fronts," an invitation letter signed jointly by Rodgers and Royce, said.

"We want to hear about the issues that are important to you, so that we can work together to secure a more prosperous America," the invitation said.

In his flyer attached with the "Bharat Divas" invitation letter, Kumar named and put pictures of several top Republican lawmakers as expected attendees. Many of them yesterday said they were not aware.

"It has come to my attention that the NIAPPI recently used my name and image on an invitation to an event that it is hosting in Washington, DC, on November 19. At no point in time did I agree to attend this event, nor did I approve of the use of my name or image on this invitation," Congressman Sessions said in a statement.

"Further, I did not see the invitation until it had been distributed publicly. Had I known that my name and image were on this invitation before it was distributed, I would have requested that they both be removed," he said.

"Additionally, I have contacted NIAPPI to request that they remove my name and image from this invitation and that they explicitly ask my approval before using my name or image in any of their materials going forward," Sessions said.

Kumar could not be reached either by phone or email.

Meanwhile in a letter to House of Representative Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the Coalition Against Genocide complained that the promotional material for the "Bharat Divas", carries the seal of the US House of Representatives, as well as pictures of the top leadership of the Republican Party, including those of Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

"We urge you to issue a statement distancing yourself from the event and the organisers, and ensure that you do not aid and abet a misrepresentation of the Republican Party's position on India," the Coalition said in a letter yesterday.

"One of the deeply alarming aspects of this event is that all the 'senior leaders' from India invited to this event are associated with the Hindutva supremacist movement and its political wing, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), including Chief Minister Narendra Modi of Gujarat, who will address the gathering via satellite video," the letter said.

The matter has been taken up seriously with the organisers of the "Bharat Divas" and they have been asked to remove it immediately.
