Cong Is Digging Its Own Grave: Rajnath

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday took a swipe at the Congress saying that the party is not digging the Bharatiya Janata Party’s grave as it says, but its own.

“Every day youth leaders of the Congress are launched. They have stooped so low that they say, Modiji, your grave will be dug; they themselves are digging their own graves. The more mud Congress throws, the more the lotus will bloom,” Singh said, addressing a rally after launching the second Vijay Sankalp Rath Yatra at Nandgad village in Belagavi.
Singh was speaking after inaugurating the ‘Vijay Sankalp Yatra’ in the poll-bound state of Karnataka.

He said that Prime Minister Modi believes that there is surely a cure for corruption unlike former PM Rajiv Gandhi who used to say that “corruption is incurable”.

Hitting out at the Congress’ Bharat Jodo Yatra which concluded in December last year, Singh said, “I want to ask from where Bharat (India) is broken. They (Congress) are only doing politics.”

However, lauding the BJP Parliamentary Board member and former Chief Minister of Karnataka BS Yediyurappa’s contributions, the Defence Minister urged the people of Karnataka to fulfil the former BJP chief minister’s dream of achieving a clear majority in Karnataka in the upcoming state assembly polls.

“Yeddyurappaji has served the party and the state as a ‘son of the soil’ for several decades. Like PM Modi, Yeddyurappa also has the same desire that the BJP government should be formed again in Karnataka for five years so that the state can be made the number one state of South India in the next five years. Yeddyurappa ji is in most important parliamentary committee now,” he further said.

Singh further said that the party could never forget the services offered by Yediyurappa to Karnataka.

The Union minister said Yediyurappa had to step down as the chief minister due to health-related issues.

Current CM of the state Basavaraj Bommai succeeded Yediyurappa as the Karnataka chief minister in July 2021.

Singh also urged the people to take ‘Sankalp’ to make the BJP government in the state by a two-thirds majority.

On the occasion Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and state BJP president Nalinkumar Kateel were also present.

Earlier in the day Defence Minister arrived in Karnataka’s Belagavi to inaugurate the ‘Vijay Sankalp Yatra’ in the poll-bound state.

Earlier on Wednesday, party President JP Nadda flagged off the ‘Vijay Sankalp Yatra’ in Karnataka’s Chamarajanagar.

Meanwhile, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah will also flag off two ‘Vijay Sankalp Rath Yatra’ and inaugurate various projects in his day-long visit to poll-bound Karnataka on March 3.

He also hailed PM Modi’s leadership in the country and said, “Now India is becoming the world’s fastest-growing economy, India has also become the world’s fifth largest economy. Our Prime Minister provided free ration facilities to 80 crore needy people in the country. It has been considered the world’s largest food security scheme. Recently, a report has appeared that India has saved about 39 lakh people from dying in its vaccination program.”

Talking about the ‘success’ of the Digital India scheme, the union minister said that 782 crore UPI transactions were worth 12.82 lakh crore in the country in December last year.

“Today the common citizen is doing digital transactions through UPI. Only in the month of December, there have been 782 crore UPI transactions worth 12.82 lakh crore in the country. When digital payments were promoted, Congress leaders used to make fun of how poor people of the country would pay through mobile,” he added.

Commenting on the election results of three Northeastern states, he said that these results would have a bearing on the elections in Karnataka.

“In Tripura and Nagaland, the BJP is forming the government again, whereas, in Meghalaya, the number of seats won by BJP legislators has increased,” Singh added.

Speaking about the government’s achievement on the Defence front, he said, “Recently, when Air India placed an order for 470 aircraft with Boeing and Airbus, it was the biggest order in the aviation industry. All aerospace and software companies working in Karnataka will also benefit from this order.”

With the mission to win over 150 seats in the 224 member-Assembly seats, the ruling party is going to start its mega-election campaign.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, party national president JP Nadda and former Karnataka Chief Minister Yeddyurappa along with many other national and state leaders of BJP will join the ‘Vijay Sankalp Yatra’ to reach out to the voters of the state.

The party has earlier launched two big campaigns in Karnataka – ‘Booth Vijay Abhiyan’ and ‘Vijay Sankalp Abhiyan’ and now it is going to start this campaign in the name of ‘Vijay Sankalp Yatra’ in the state from March 1 to ensure the victory of the party. (ANI)

Underlining the importance of start-ups in the country, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said that from now on the country should move forward on the path of ‘Design our Destiny’.

“Today, after 75 years of independence, we have got an opportunity to move forward on the path of ‘Design our Destiny’. From now on, our mantra should be ‘Design our Destiny’, that is, we move forward towards the Design of our Destiny with our efforts, abilities and resolve; Build it,” said Rajnath Singh at the annual defence startup event ‘Manthan’.

Rajnath Singh asserted that to develop the country has to redefine the competition and not move ahead with old technologies and old systems.

“If we have to develop, then we have to redefine the competition. If we think of moving ahead with old technologies and old systems, then we will always be two centuries behind those countries. That’s why today it is necessary that we think in new ways and move forward according to those ways,” he said.

Addressing the event he also announced the launch of the Defence India Start-up Challenge, i.e. DISC-9.

“Defence Ministry has also approved a simplified and fast-track procedure for procurement from iDEX start-ups and MSMEs. iDEX has opened avenues for achieving self-reliance in defence,” he said.

He said that iDEX has been awarded the PM Award under the Innovation category. If the business of iDEX Winners expands, lakhs of people will get employment in the country.

“Start-up Manthan is a grand celebration of the journey of growth of the Indian Defense start-up ecosystem. This is an indicator of the success of our initiative “Innovations for Defense Excellence” i.e. iDEX. iDEX has so far helped many home-grown technologies to develop and move forward,” he said.

“In order to encourage our new entrepreneurs the development of larger projects, we have decided to increase the grants given so far. This shows the government’s support for the hard work, dedication, and encouragement of our innovators and start-ups,” he added.

He said that Start-up means new energy, Start-up means New Commitment, and Start-up means New Enthusiasm.

“If we have to go ahead of other countries, it is necessary for new people and start-ups to come forward. In my view, Start-up means new energy, Start-up means New Commitment, and Start-up means New Enthusiasm,” Singh said. (ANI)

China Is Preparing For War, Govt Hiding It: Rahul Gandhi

Flagging a “clear threat from China” amid the ongoing border row, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday claimed that the neighbouring country is “preparing for war” and alleged that the Centre is “hiding and not accepting it”.

In an apparent reference to the recent faceoff between the Indian and Chinese soldiers in Arunachal Pradesh’s Tawang sector on December 9, Gandhi said that China is making an “offensive preparation on the side of Ladakh and Arunachal” while the Indian government “is in slumber”.

“There is a clear threat from China. The government is trying to hide it and ignore it. But that threat cannot be ignored or hidden. China is making offensive preparation on the side of Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. The Indian government is in slumber. It doesn’t want to hear it. China is preparing for war, not for an incursion,” he said while addressing a press conference here.

“If you see the pattern of their weapons, they are preparing for war. Our government is hiding it and is not accepting it,” he added.

Gandhi also lashed out at External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and said that he should “deepen his understanding”.

“This is happening because the Indian government is working event-based and is not working strategically. When there is a matter of international relations, no event works there. Power works there. I have said it multiple times that we should be careful. The EAM should deepen his understanding,” he said.

The Congress leader also questioned the media and said that it would not ask questions to him over the ongoing border row with China.

“The ones who captured 2,000 sq km of India and killed 20 Indian soldiers, and are thrashing our soldiers in Arunachal Pradesh. I said to my friend that the Indian media would not ask me questions about it,” he said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh told Parliament that Chinese troops had attempted to transgress the LAC at Yangtse in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh in a bid to “unilaterally change the status quo”, but were given a firm and resolute response forcing the Chinese side to retreat.

In his statement in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, Singh said the face-off led to a physical scuffle that led to injuries to a few personnel on both sides but “there were no fatalities or serious casualties” to Indian soldiers.

Giving statements in both House, the Defence Minister also assured that “our forces are committed to protecting our territorial integrity and will continue to thwart any attempt made on it”. (ANI)
