“Multiple Congress Leaders Wish To Join BJP”: Devendra Fadnavis

Fadnavis

Amid election fever, Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis claimed on Thursday that several Congress leaders are in talks with the BJP. Fadnavis’ claim came after Congress leader Ravi Raja resigned from the grand old party after serving for 44 years and joined the Saffron party.

Fadnavis said, “Along with Ravi Raja, multiple Congress leaders are coming into our contact, and they wish to join the BJP. Soon, they will leave Congress and join the BJP. Don’t ask me the names, but Congress leaders will come with us in the coming days,” said DCM Devendra Fadnavis.

Who is Ravi Raja?

Ravi Raja has served as the Leader of the Opposition in the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (BMC) and has been a five-time corporator. 

In a post on X, Raja said: “Since 1980 as a Youth Congress Member, I have served the party with utmost sincerity and dedication and today I am made to believe that my 44 years of service for the Congress party is not respected and hence I take this decision of resigning from my party post,” Raja said in a post on X.

Canada’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, David Morrison, on Tuesday, alleged that Union Home Minister Amit Shah authorised a “campaign to intimidate or kill” Sikh separatists in Canada, according to a report by CBC.

Morrison made the remarks at a Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security hearing on the “electoral interference and criminal activities in Canada by agents of the Government of India.”

Canadian Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister David Morrison told a parliamentary panel on Tuesday that he told the Washington Post that Shah was behind the plots. “The journalist called me and asked if it (Shah) was that person. I confirmed it was that person,” Morrison told the committee without providing further details or evidence. The High Commission of India in Ottawa and the Indian foreign ministry have yet to issue a statement.
