Jai Ram Thakur exudes confidence of BJP winning Himachal, Gujarat

Jairam Thakur

Gandhinagar: Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Tuesday exuded confidence that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will again come to power both in Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh.
“It is going to be a one-way election in Gujarat and it is BJP everywhere in the state. Gujarat is going to create history in terms of votes and seats,” Thakur told ANI. “Our party has done a really good job in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat and all the schemes and projects have been implemented with honesty. Winning these elections will definitely boost the morale of the party and help us in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections,” he added.
Thakur was in Gandhinagar before his public meetings in Nadiad and Ahmedabad’s Vejalpur and Naranpura during the BJP’s carpet bombing 2.0 campaign in the state.

Attacking Congress, Thakur said that they had made various claims in the past of winning in Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Goa and Uttar Pradesh but they could not win the states. “So all their claims are baseless,” he said.
Thakur took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi who is on Bharat Jodo Yatra and said the Congress leader has been “sent on the yatra so that he keeps away from the elections”.
“For any leader, it is very important to work for the elections, to work for the party’s win. And this is the first time that we are seeing that two states are going into elections and their leader is on the yatra,” Thakur added.
He said Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will lose the deposit on all seats they are contesting in Himachal Pradesh.
“AAP has reached its peak and now is on a downward trend. The party has been exposed totally after various incidents coming to light including the selling of tickets, their leader being in jail on corruption charges, sacking of their minister in Punjab. In Himachal, they will lose deposit money on all seats in Himachal Pradesh,” Thakur said.
While polling for assembly polls in Himachal Pradesh was held earlier this month, it will be held on December 1 and 5 in Gujarat. The counting will take place on December 8.

Maldives crisis: state of emergency declared for 15 days

News Desk

Maldives President Abdulla Yameen declared a state of emergency in the country and arrested the CJI and other Supreme Court Judges.

 

Abdulla Yameen, the President of Maldives declared a state of emergency for 15 days. The president had been in a tussle with the Supreme Court of the country for past few days. The allies of President Abdulla Yameen believe that the Supreme Court is conspiring to bring down the government.

The court had earlier ordered Yameen to release nine opposition leaders who were jailed by his government. However, Yameen refused to comply.

In a televised address, Legal Affairs Minister of Maldives Azima Shakoor announced the emergency on Tuesday. Hours after the announcement, Maldives Chief Justice Abdulla Saeed and another Supreme Court judge were arrested. As per the Maldives law, judges will no longer be granted special privileges if they are facing arrest.

The security forces barged in the court complex in Male on Tuesday and Justices Saeed and Ali Hameed were arrested along with the court’s top administrator Hassan Saeed. In a brief statement, the police cited complaints of corruption against them in a brief statement.

“The government of Maldives wishes to also assure all Maldivians and the international community that the safety of all Maldivians and foreigners living in and visiting the Maldives, will be ensured,” the statement from President office said.

The top court had also ordered to reinstate 12 legislators who had been sacked for defecting to the opposition. The development had effectively given the opposition a majority in the 85-member parliament. It also led to a possible impeachment of Yameen.

The high profile arrests of the judges and CJI followed came after the arrest of ex-president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, the separated half-brother of Yameen. Gayoom had sided with the main opposition and campaigned for the toppling of his half-brother.
