BRS leader Kavitha calls Congress arrogant, Jairam Ramesh asks her to worry about ED instead

The Congress shot back with its general secretary Jairam Ramesh advising her to instead worry about the Enforcement Directorate and jail.

NEW DELHI: The rift in the Opposition was out in the open on Thursday after Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha slammed the Congress saying it had been reduced to a big regional party, adding it should shed arrogance and face reality.

The Congress shot back with its general secretary Jairam Ramesh advising her to instead worry about the Enforcement Directorate and jail. “Kavitha should worry about ED and jail,” Ramesh told The New Indian Express, alluding to her consent to appear before the federal probe agency on Saturday for questioning in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam.

Kavitha, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, however, urged Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and AICC general secretary K C Venugopal to send party representatives to the protest she is scheduled to hold on Friday at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar demanding the introduction of the Women’s Reservation Bill in the upcoming session of Parliament. While over 6,000 people are expected to participate, 18 political parties will join Friday’s protest.

Kavitha said the Congress should ‘understand the ground reality’ and join hands with strong regional parties to defeat the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. “Congress is no longer a national party but just a big regional party. It should shed its arrogance,” she said. She, however, hailed former Congress president Sonia Gandhi for supporting the Women’s Reservation Bill in Parliament in 2010. “Though it was a coalition government, Soniaji got the bill to the Rajya Sabha,” said Kavitha.

Cong workers take to streets to protest her questioning

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday questioned Congress chief Sonia Gandhi in a money laundering case related to the National Herald newspaper. The issue of summons to the Congress president rocked Parliament even as the Congress workers took to the street to protest her questioning.

The agency summoned her again on July 25 for further questioning, officials said. She was questioned for about two hours and was allowed to leave on her request, officials said. However, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the ED told Sonia that they had no further questions and she could leave.

“The Congress president told the ED officials that “I am ready to return, I will answer your questions, it may take till 7 pm, 8 pm, 9 pm, I am ready to sit here”. But from the ED side it was said their doctor is not available in the afternoon and tomorrow the ED is busy with some court issue, Ramesh said.

Citizenship Act CAA Unconstitutional? 237 Petitions Before Top Court Today

Amid the row over the Centre's move to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) weeks before Lok Sabha election, the Supreme Court will hear today a batch of 237 petitions challenging the law. A bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and comprising Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra will hear the matter.

Among the petitioners are Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), a political party primarily based in Kerala, and Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI), Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, Trinamool leader Mahua Moitra and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.

The day after the Centre notified CAA rules, the two organisations approached the Supreme Court, seeking a pause on the implementation of the law. They termed CAA "discriminatory" against the Muslim community.

Back in 2019, when the Citizenship Amendment Bill cleared the Parliament, multiple petitions had been filed against it. But the court had not paused its implementation because the rules had not been notified. On Friday, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal told the court that there was no question of a pause back then since the rules were not notified. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta then said that the fact that the rules were notified before the elections was irrelevant.

Under this law, non-Muslim migrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan fleeing religious persecution can seek Indian citizenship. Persons from Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian communities from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, who entered India on or before December 31, 2014, are eligible to seek citizenship under CAA.

The Opposition has slammed the Narendra Modi government over the timing of the law's implementation - four years after it cleared the Parliament. The move is "evidently designed to polarise the elections, especially in West Bengal and Assam", party leader Jairam Ramesh has said.

Trinamool Congress chief and Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said she doubts the legality of CAA and alleged a conspiracy to "snatch citizenship rights". "BJP leaders say CAA gives you rights. But the moment you apply for citizenship, you become illegal migrants and you will lose your rights. You will lose rights and be taken to detention camps. Please think before you apply," she said.

The Centre has trashed the Opposition's allegations. Stressing that the CAA is not "unconstitutional", Home Minister Amit Shah has accused the Opposition of resorting to the "politics of lies". On the timing of the law's implementation, he said, "BJP made it clear in its 2019 manifesto that it will bring CAA and provide Indian citizenship to refugees (from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan). BJP has a clear agenda and under that promise, the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill was passed in both houses of Parliament in 2019. It got delayed due to Covid."

He has also said that minorities of the country "need not be afraid because CAA has no provision to take back the rights of any citizen".

Day After Quitting Congress, Ashok Chavan To Join BJP Today

A day after he quit the Congress, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan is set to join the BJP later today. "Today around 12-12:30, I am going to start a new journey of my political career, I am going to join BJP," Mr Chavan told news agency ANI.

He had yesterday told the media that he will take a decision on his next step in a couple of days. Deputy Chief Minister and the state's top BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, it is learnt, will welcome Mr Chavan into the party. Mr Chavan's aide Amar Rajurkar, who resigned as MLC with him, will also join the BJP today.

Sources have said the former Chief Minister may be offered a Rajya Sabha seat. That would also explain his decision to join the BJP a day after he resigned from the Congress and the Assembly: time for filing nomination for the Rajya Sabha polls is running out.

"I have resigned from the Assembly membership as an MLA. I have given my resignation to the Speaker. I have resigned from the Congress Working Committee and the Congress primary membership. I have not decided to join any party. I will clear my stand on joining a party after two days," Mr Chavan had told reporters yesterday.

Mr Chavan's exit is yet another blow to Maharashtra Congress months ahead of state polls and the general election. Earlier, key Congress leader, Milind Deora, quit the party and joined the Eknath Shinde faction of Shiv Sena. Baba Siddique too left and moved to the Ajit Pawar-led NCP.

According to Congress sources, Mr Chavan's differences with state party chief Nana Patole played a key role in his decision. Speaking to the media yesterday, he had suggested that he was upset over the delay in finalising seat-sharing within the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance with just months left for the polls.

Mumbai Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam said that the former Chief Minister was upset over the working style of a Congress leader in Maharashtra. He did not name any leader. "He (Chavan) had approached the top leadership. Had his complaint been taken seriously, this situation would not have happened," Mr Nirupam said.

Congress leaders have taken swipes at Mr Chavan following his decision. Senior party leader Jairam Ramesh took a "washing machine" jab -- washing machine is an oft-repeated reference the Congress uses to accuse the BJP of stalling criminal investigations against Opposition leaders who switch to their side.

"When friends and colleagues leave a political party that has given them much -- perhaps much more they deserved -- it is always a matter of anguish. But to those who are vulnerable THAT Washing Machine will always prove more attractive than ideological commitment or personal loyalties," Mr Ramesh said. "These betrayers don't realise that their exit opens up vast new opportunities to those whose growth they have always stunted," he added.

Maharashtra Congress chief Patole said it is "unfortunate that leaders who have got everything are leaving the Congress party and ideology".

The son of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Shankarrao Chavan, Ashok Chavan wields significant influence in Nanded region. His exit comes at a time when the Maha Vikas Aghadi -- comprising the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena, the Sharad Pawar camp of NCP and the Congress -- faces two tall poll challenges.

Ashok Chavan has had an eventful political journey so far. Starting out as a student leader during his college days, he went on to hold key posts in the Congress, including Maharashtra Congress chief and a member of the Congress Working Committee. He has served as an MP from Nanded on two occasions and been a member of both Houses of the state legislature.

After serving as state minister, he was chosen for the Chief Minister post after Vilasrao Deshmukh stepped down in the aftermath of the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai. The Congress retained him on the top post after the 2009 state polls. The stint was, however, short as Mr Chavan was forced to step down amid corruption allegations related to the Adarsh Housing Society scam.

Former Maharashtra Chief Minister, Ashok Chavan, Joins BJP After Parting Ways with Congress

In a significant political development, Ashok Chavan, the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has officially joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today, just a day after announcing his resignation from the Congress. A prominent figure for the Congress in the politically crucial state, Chavan was welcomed into the BJP fold by Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the state party chief, Chandrashekhar Bawankul.

Sources indicate that Mr. Chavan is set to file nomination papers for the upcoming Rajya Sabha election tomorrow. The urgency of the nomination deadline played a pivotal role in his swift transition from the Congress to the BJP, as per the sources.

While addressing the media yesterday, Chavan had initially hinted at taking a few days to decide on his political future. However, this morning, he surprised many by announcing his immediate entry into a new political journey with the BJP.

The departure of Ashok Chavan marks another setback for the Maharashtra Congress, coming just months ahead of state polls and the general election. Earlier, prominent Congress leader Milind Deora left the party to join the Eknath Shinde faction of Shiv Sena, and Baba Siddique shifted allegiance to the Ajit Pawar-led NCP.

Congress insiders suggest that Chavan’s decision was influenced by his differences with state party chief Nana Patole. Yesterday, he expressed dissatisfaction with the delayed finalization of seat-sharing within the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance, raising concerns just months before the polls.

Sanjay Nirupam, a leader of Mumbai Congress, stated that Chavan was upset with the working style of a Congress leader in Maharashtra, without naming anyone specific. Nirupam remarked that Chavan had approached the top leadership, implying that his concerns were not adequately addressed, leading to the current situation.

In response to Chavan’s departure, Congress leaders have not held back from criticizing him. Senior party leader Jairam Ramesh took a veiled swipe, using the metaphor of a “washing machine” — a term often employed by Congress to accuse the BJP of impeding criminal investigations against opposition leaders who switch sides.

Ramesh expressed anguish over the departure of colleagues from the party, highlighting the allure of certain benefits over ideological commitment or personal loyalties. Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole lamented the situation, emphasizing the unfortunate departure of leaders who have received everything from the Congress party and its ideology.

RLD Chief Chaudhary clarifies his switch to NDA, says the decision was unanimous

On Monday, the Rashtriya Lok Dal chief came with another announcement where he said that his party would join the BJP-led NDA. He also asserted that this was a unanimous decision.

"I took this decision after speaking to all MLAs and workers of my party. There was no big planning behind this decision, or had we decided this a long time ago. We had to take this decision within a short time because of the situation. We want to do something good for the country, for our people.” Chaudhary said clarifying his decision to the reporters.

Chaudhary further said that the party MLAs and workers took the decision unanimously after his grandfather Chaudhary Charan Singh was awarded Bharat Ratna recently. He also clarified the rumors of misgivings in the party for which he was recently attacked in The Rajya Sabha on Saturday by the Congress Party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and former Union minister Jairam Ramesh. "If someone is reporting that, I don't think they have talked to the MLAs. I talked to MLAs and workers and made a decision, " Chaudhary said.

There is no formal announcement made by Chaudhary and NDA yet but there have been ample hints suggesting the merger.

"We have good intentions for our people and country. When the Bharat Ratna has been given, we are very happy. It is not limited to our family or party. It is an honor for every farmer, youth, poor," Chaudhary was recorded saying during an event to mark the birth anniversary of his father Ajit Singh.

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced Bharat Ratna for Chaudhary Charanjit Singh, Chaudhary took to X and posted, "Dil jeet liya" (you have won our hearts)."

Answering the rumors, Chaudhary also rubbished the false news that it was all part of a scheme to make the switch and asked people to respect the former Prime Minister’s legacy.
