BJP MLA accuses DMK of erasing ‘Hindu' from caste certificates in Tamil Nadu
The BJP leader also questioned why Chief Minister MK Stalin never extends wishes during Hindu festivals, saying it reflects a larger pattern of 'disregard for the sentiments of the majority.'She further alleged that a 'Super Chief Minister', without naming anyone, was behind such decisions.'Because there are caste differences in Hindu religion, reservation for education and government employment opportunities is given to the caste. In the certificates given to school and college students, they will be able to get reservation only if the word Hindu with the name of caste is included. When it is like that, I don't know why the DMK government is removing the name Hindu. DMK government definitely cannot have a good intention in this action,' she added.'The DMK government should abandon this act against the Constitution of India,' she wrote in a statement.advertisementHer statement came around the time the Madras High Court directed the Tamil Nadu government to enable Revenue officials to grant 'no caste, no religion' certificates to individuals who do not wish to be identified by any particular caste or religion.The court's directive came while it was hearing a petition challenging a single judge's order that refused to direct the local Tahsildar to issue such certificates to the petitioner's family.

Assault on ‘kathavachak' in Etawah achallenge to Hindutva, says VHP chief
Lucknow: Days after a 'kathavachak' (religious storyteller) and his associate from the Yadav community were allegedly assaulted by a group of men from the upper caste in Etawah, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) international president Alok Kumar on Thursday said "the incident was no less than a challenge to the entire Hindutva and Dharma-shashtras". "We need to be cautious. Such acts by certain individuals are reprehensible," Kumar told TOI, adding that the Etawah incident was nothing short of a "concerted" attempt to incite disharmony between different sections of society. He asserted that such incidents should not intentionally be portrayed to create disharmony between the Yadavs and Brahmins. "Harmony should be maintained. The law should be maintained. And this right of all Hindus to worship, to preach, to be a pundit in a temple is inviolable and cannot be compromised," Kumar said, adding that it must be understood that no one can be stopped from preaching and reciting 'katha'. Experts said that Kumar sought to frame the incident not merely as a caste-related atrocity, but as a violation of Hinduism itself, potentially seeking to reframe the narrative from a caste conflict to one of unity under the larger Hindu fold. His emphasis on harmony and law, analysts said, reflected VHP's pointed attempt to prevent the local incident from becoming a symbol of systemic caste oppression — a narrative that could damage the image of Hindu unity, especially in the politically-sensitive Uttar Pradesh. Kumar said that the Etawah incident was highly painful. "Bhagwan to sabke hain… sab Bhagwan ke hain aur Bhagwan ne sabko saman adhikar diya hai," he said, stressing that the VHP strongly condemned the incident and demanded strict punishment for the accused as early as possible. The VHP chief said that the Yogi Adityanath govt was taking appropriate action against the accused. At the same time, he said, one needs to exercise restraint from taking political mileage from the incident. He said that 'dharma' was primarily meant to unite people and not to create divisions. "Therefore, the divide which has been created because of such incidents should be bridged." Kumar said that the VHP was already imparting six months of training to Scheduled Tribes vis-à-vis religious storytelling. "Bhagwan par unka adhik adhikar hai kyunki Bhagwan bhi apne kartavya ke liye 14 saal jungle mein rahe they…," he said, referring to Ram who spent 14 years in the forest during his exile. He further said that the VHP was also running a 'Ved Vidyalaya' in Odisha. The institution, he said, was primarily attended by women of the ST community.

Khopde Gets NIT Trustee Post After Cabinet Snub
1 2 3 Nagpur: Ahead of the Maharashtra cabinet expansion, there was strong buzz surrounding East Nagpur's veteran BJP leader and four-time MLA Krishna Khopde, with many expecting his elevation to a ministerial role. After securing the highest victory margin in Vidarbha this time, he was felicitated in Mumbai by chief minister Devendra Fadnavis. However, when the final list of ministers was released, Khopde's name was absent once again, which was widely seen as 'political neglect'. In what appears to be a face-saving move, the BJP has now appointed Khopde as a trustee of Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT) — a body he himself publicly demanded be dissolved multiple times in the state assembly. Originally set up during the British era for city planning, NIT was expected to be scrapped after the formation of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC). During Fadnavis's earlier tenure as CM, the govt initiated a phased dismantling of NIT. But after the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) govt came to power, the decision was overturned and the trust was reinstated. With the Mahayuti govt now back in power, BJP MLA Pravin Datke and Khopde both renewed their demand to scrap NIT during the ongoing Assembly sessions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like local network access control Esseps Learn More Undo Ironically, Khopde — who had called for its dissolution — has now been made one of its trustees, triggering sharp political commentary over the BJP's internal power dynamics. Khopde is known in political circles as a 'giant killer', having defeated senior Congress leader and former guardian minister Satish Chaturvedi in what was once considered a Congress stronghold in East Nagpur. Khopde was only a corporator, and his victory was seen as a major upset. Despite his strong grassroot base, Khopde was repeatedly overlooked for ministerial roles. In 2014, he even offered to vacate his seat for Nitin Gadkari to become CM — a move seen as politically overzealous and one that may have worked against him within party ranks, said political experts. While the NIT trustee position holds administrative significance, it lacks political clout and visibility of a cabinet post — leading many to see this as a consolation prize rather than a genuine reward for loyalty and electoral success. Khopde, though holding no new official post, said he continues to work with NIT and has been given added responsibilities. He has formed a five-member committee to clear long-pending reservation corrections and encroachments within a year. Another panel will tackle smaller, overlooked reservations. He also highlighted a new order to regularize Gunthewari layouts, protecting plot holders from extortion and enabling regulation based on valid agreements and NIT records.

Before Arvind Kejriwal's ‘hidden romance' jibe, Punjab Congress called AAP BJP's ‘B Team'
Jalandhar: While Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal recently alleged a secretive understanding between the Congress and the BJP in Gujarat — calling it a "hidden romance"—the Congress in Punjab has been bracketing AAP with RSS-BJP for over two years or accusing the Punjab chief minister of following the Centre's line on different issues. Even as the parties held a seat-sharing arrangement in Delhi, Haryana, and Gujarat, Punjab Congress leaders usually called AAP the 'B team' of RSS-BJP. They sharpened the attacks before the Lok Sabha elections. Amid these allegations, they strongly opposed an alliance between the two parties in Punjab during the parliamentary polls, arguing that Congress could not cede opposition space to Shiromani Akali Dal or BJP. Kejriwal, during a gathering of AAP leaders and workers in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, asserted that his party had no alliance with Congress, and that the INDIA bloc was confined to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He likened the Congress-BJP dynamic to lovers meeting in secret, saying, "They meet secretly because society won't accept their marriage. Be cautious of them—they are very dangerous." BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh on Friday slammed Kejriwal over his "hidden romance" jibe at the BJP, saying, "The entire country knows it was you, Kejriwal, who struck an 'unholy alliance' with Congress back in 2013 to form the Delhi govt. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Global Indices Are on the Move — Time to Trade! IC Markets Learn More Undo In Punjab, it's now an open secret — AAP and Congress have made a secret pact to rule alternately and loot Punjab every five years." Punjab Congress leaders started levelling the allegation of collusion between AAP and RSS-BJP, or calling the former the 'B team' of the latter or 'two sides of the same coin', just after the Bhagwant Mann govt completed a year. Leader of opposition Partap Singh Bajwa, Punjab Congress president Amrinder Singh Raja Waring, Sukhpal Singh Khaira, and Pargat Singh started the attacks on these lines, and then a few other party leaders followed suit. Punjab Congress made it a point to accuse the Punjab govt of following the central govt's line over its handling of the farm protest, and its removal from the Shambhu border. On a few other issues, they levelled similar allegations. Recently, Waring, while addressing a rally at Hoshiarpur, alleged that the AAP govt in Punjab was hand in glove with the Centre. At the same time, Punjab BJP president Sunil Jakhar has been alleging that a few leaders of Punjab Congress had surrendered before the AAP govt to escape action by anti-corruption agencies.
