No opposition tolerated by Modi`s Chamchas<br />

Swaraj India President Yognedra Yadav reminded Mr Modi about his pre-election promises made to<br />

the farmers of India who gathered from all over the country at the Kisan Mukti Sansad in Delhi<br />

Bihar BJP President threatening<br />

to chop off fingers of anyone<br />

who points fingers at Prime<br />

Minister Narendra Modi. It certainly<br />

indicates that no individual<br />

or political party dares to<br />

challenge the current policies of<br />

the Modi government in the fear<br />

that one might face the wrath<br />

and indignation of the Modi<br />

Bhagats. Swaraj India President<br />

Yognedra Yadav reminded Mr<br />

Modi about his pre-election<br />

promises made to the farmers of<br />

India who gathered from all over<br />

the country at the Kisan Mukti<br />

Sansad in Delhi<br />

"I am pointing my finger at<br />

Mr. Modi, the whole Kisan Mukti<br />

Sansad is pointing fingers at<br />

Modi because he cheated and<br />

looted the farmers of this country,<br />

let us see how many fingers they<br />

can chop and how many hands<br />

they can cut off," Yogendra<br />

Yadav said while addressing the<br />

farmers. Responding to his<br />

appeal, thousands of farmers<br />

raised their fingers in unison as a<br />

symbolic protest against the government<br />

policies. Yogendra<br />

Yadav also said that Mr. Modi<br />

does not have time to visit the<br />

farmers who are at a distance of 5<br />

minutes from his residence and<br />

office.<br />

On the future course of action<br />

of All India Kisan Sangarsh<br />

Coordination Committee<br />

(AIKSCC), Yogendra Yadav said<br />

that Kisan Mukti Abhiyan will<br />

Rahul to ask Modi a question<br />

every day in Gujarat poll run-up<br />

begin a campaign to ensure that<br />

no crop is being sold below the<br />

set MSP. He also said that the<br />

country wide campaign will<br />

begin on 26th of November - the<br />

day when the constitution of this<br />

country was finalised and end on<br />

26th of January - the day when<br />

the constitution was approved.<br />

The campaign will begin from<br />

Bardoli in Gujarat. "Mr. Modi is<br />

a busy man. He does not have<br />

time to meet us here. May be he<br />

is busy in Gujarat, so we will go<br />

there and begin our campaign<br />

from there, and if he has any concern<br />

left for the farmers of this<br />

country, he should come and<br />

meet them there."<br />

New Delhi, Congress Vice<br />

President Rahul Gandhi will ask<br />

Prime Minister Narendra Modi a<br />

question every day in the run-up<br />

to the Gujarat assembly elections,<br />

the party said. Congress<br />

chief spokesperson Randeep<br />

Singh Surjewala on Wednesday<br />

said Gandhi would ask a question<br />

to the Prime Minister every<br />

day.<br />

“Rahul Gandhi is asking a<br />

question every day, why did mis-governance of<br />

22 years create such a situation,” he tweeted.<br />

Gandhi wrote on Twitter on Wednesday “22<br />

salon ka hisaab, Gujarat mange jawaab.<br />

(Gujarat demands answers for 22 years of<br />

BJP)”. He said he would demand answers for 22<br />

years of Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) rule in<br />

the state and the promises made to the people.<br />

New Delhi, BSF<br />

Director General K.K.<br />

Sharma on Wednesday said<br />

Pakistan has not stopped its<br />

infiltration bids into Jammu<br />

and Kashmir, and added<br />

that routes used by militants<br />

have been identified<br />

and the BSF is ready to<br />

tackle future attempts.<br />

He also said the neighbouring<br />

country was making<br />

repeated ceasefire violations<br />

despite both issues being<br />

raised repeatedly at the DG<br />

level talks with Pakistan<br />

Rangers. “Pakistan is continuing<br />

with its attempts at infiltration.<br />

We will not let their<br />

intentions succeed. We know<br />

“First question to the Prime<br />

Minister on the state of affairs in<br />

Gujarat — In 2012, promises<br />

were made to provide 50 lakh<br />

new houses but built 4.72 lakh in<br />

five years.<br />

Will the Prime Minister tell,<br />

whether it will take another 45<br />

years to fulfil the promise?”<br />

Gandhi posted on Twitter.<br />

Congress spokesperson<br />

Deepender Singh Hooda said he<br />

hoped Modi and the BJP would answer<br />

Gandhi’s queries on “22 years of mis-governance”<br />

in Gujarat. “We expect that the Prime<br />

Minister and the BJP to find time and answer<br />

the questions asked to them by Rahul Gandhi,”<br />

he said. “The BJP is working for the super rich<br />

and middlemen. The party’s (BJP) economic<br />

policy was at the cost of the poor,” he added.<br />

Pakistan’s infiltration<br />

bids, ceasefire violations<br />

continue : BSF<br />

“Pakistan is continuing with its attempts at infiltration.<br />

We will not let their intentions succeed<br />

their routes and are<br />

ready to handle any situation,”<br />

Sharma told<br />

reporters at the annual<br />

press conference of the<br />

Border Security Force.<br />

He said that talks<br />

with the Pakistan<br />

Rangers earlier this<br />

month were held in a<br />

cordial atmosphere.<br />

“We raised the issue of<br />

infiltration and ceasefire violations<br />

but they continue to take<br />

place,” he said.
