“PM Modi Is Trying To Replicate Gujarat Model Across India”: Rahul Gandhi In Poll Bound-Gujarat

Gandhinagar: Rahul Gandhi, a Congress politician, claimed on Tuesday that his party would form the next government in Gujarat following the Assembly election, criticizing the Narendra Modi-led BJP administration at the Centre for “building one India for the rich and one for the poor.”

Gandhi claimed that Prime Minister Modi was following the Gujarat model across the country. “As Prime Minister, Modi is doing throughout the country what he did as Gujarat’s chief minister: establishing two Indias, one for the rich and one for the poor.” It’s known as the Gujarat model.”

He said it was only in Gujarat where permission was required to protest. “Jignesh Mevani was jailed for three months for the same. I would like to say that even if he’s jailed for 10 years, it won’t affect him,” Gandhi said.

At a “adivasi satyagrah rally” in tribal-dominated Dahod district to kick off the Congress’ campaign for the Gujarat Assembly election this year, Gandhi said the country’s resources were being taken away to a few wealthy individuals.

“Today, two Indias are being created, one India of the rich, a few select people, billionaires and bureaucrats who have power and money. The second India is of the common people,” he said.

He said the Congress did not want two Indias. “In the BJP model, resources of people like water, forest and land which belong to tribals and other poor people, are being given to a few,” he said.

Karnataka Education Minister said, “As a democratic government, we welcome whatever order we have received from the honorable Supreme Court. But we expected a better judgment”

Banglore: The Supreme Court delivered a split verdict in Karnataka Hijab Case on October 13. Justice Hemant Gupta, in his judgment, said that the Karnataka government is authorized to enforce uniforms in schools. Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia’s judgment varies from Justice Hemant. He noted that hijab is a matter of choice that the state cannot stifle. Shortly after SC’s verdict Karnataka Education Minister BC Nagesh, said “we expect a better judgment.”

BJP’s order earlier this year stating that Muslim women cannot wear hijabs and headscarves inside the classrooms triggered huge protests in the state.

“As a democratic government, we welcome whatever order we have received from the honorable Supreme Court. But we expected a better judgment because as you know – throughout the world – women are demanding not to wear hijab and burka,” BC Nagesh said during a press briefing.

As SC delivered a split verdict in the case so as of now the High Court’s order is valid said Nagesh. “But there is a split judgment in the Supreme Court today. So whatever the Karnataka High Court had ordered is valid as of today. We are going to follow the rules framed according to the Karnataka Education Act. Definitely, the top court is going to think through everything. But we expect a better judgment,” he said.

The top court’s two judges reached a divided decision. Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia dissenting opinion from the senior judge on the bench and permitted all of the appeals, while Justice Hemant Gupta dismissed all of the problems presented against the Karnataka high court order in his ruling. The appeal of the high court’s March judgment sustaining the ban had been heard by the Supreme Court. On September 22, the decision had already been reserved.
