President's rule in Bihar? Tejashwi alleges BJP planning to keep Nitish Kumar as CM only until elections; alleges 'major controversy unfolding'
NEW DELHI: RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday claimed that Bharatiya Janata Party is hatching a conspiracy to impose President rule and take control of Bihar after the assembly elections which is scheduled at the end of the year. Tejashwi said that things will change after the elections, claiming that Amit Shah will keep Nitish Kumar as chief minister only until the elections. "Those who are observing the situation believe that these people will impose President's Rule. It seems like a major conspiracy is unfolding in Bihar, with Modi planning to implement President's Rule and take control," Tejashwi said. "Rajnath Singh attended the event and said that they are forming the government for the third time, praising Nitish Ji. The BJP is the largest party, but they have no face, and Amit Shah has made it clear that they will keep them only until the elections, after which things will change. The BJP's dominance will soon end," he added. The RJD leader also attacked Election Commission over electoral roll revision, accusing it taking away voting rights of poor in the state. "This is a significant issue as the rights of the poor and their voting rights are being taken away. The Election Commission is meeting with political parties. We want to ask what should be done if there is no time given for meetings. This is injustice because it seems there will be challenges for the people in the coming days," Tejashwi said. "Everyone is exposed, and one wonders why the Election Commission is unwilling to meet. It is supposed to be an independent body, but it appears to be singing praises of the BJP and RSS," he added. According to the poll body, the special intensive revision of electoral rolls is part of its crackdown on illegal immigrants from countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. The poll panel reminded the constitutional provision that says only Indian citizens can vote. "The Constitution of India is supreme. All citizens, political parties, and the Election Commission of India follow the Constitution," EC said in a statement. The assembly election is scheduled for the end of the year, where a high-stakes battle is expected. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) — consisting of the Janata Dal (United) led by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and the Bharatiya Janata Party — will face off against the Mahagathbandhan, which includes the Congress, RJD, and Left parties.

Ex-Himachal MLA, ASP get into minor altercation in Bilaspur
A purported video of the altercation showed Thakur asserting that he knew the way to the DC office, and he was allowed to use the route. Police said he was only being asked to take a different route as Union Minister and BJP national president J P Nadda's convoy was to take that road, official sources said. Bilaspur (HP), Jul 2(PTI) Former Congress MLA Bamber Thakur got into an altercation with a senior police officer in Himachal's Bilaspur district on Wednesday, accusing the police of trying to stop him and his supporters from visiting the deputy commissioner. When the police officer asks him and his supporters to step aside, the ex-MLA says, 'Don't argue. I know my way.' This is when Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shiv Kumar intervenes, but Thakur keeps walking forward. 'Don't push me… don't abuse,' the ASP says in the clip that has surfaced online. Thakur is then seen sitting on the road in protest. The former MLA said that he was going to submit a memorandum to the deputy commissioner. The ex-MLA's son, Ishan Thakur, wrote on social media that some 'goons from Punjab' tried to attack his father on Tuesday. The former MLA, who was earlier shot at his residence in Bilaspur on Holi this year, alleged that there was an attempt to attack him in Jabli by diverting the attention of his personal security officer (PSO). He said the attackers were waiting for an opportunity, but the PSO was alert. Thakur claimed that around 5 pm the same day, he sent a message to the SP, but the police did nothing about the matter.

Bihar BJP passes resolution criticising anti-Waqf Act stance of opposition
The political resolution, which dwelt at length on 11 years of the Narendra Modi government, also said, 'We oppose the appeasement politics of Lalu Yadav and the Mahagathbandhan.' The resolution slammed the RJD supremo's son, Tejashwi Yadav, and Congress leaders Kanhaiya Kumar and Imran Pratapgarhi, who had attended a mammoth rally held here a couple of days ago in protest against the Waqf Act. At the state executive meeting here, held in the presence of Defence Minister and former national president Rajnath Singh, the party passed a two-page political resolution, besides a 'Vijay Sankalp Prastav' that declared 'Lalu (Prasad) and his allies cannot defeat us' in Assembly polls due later this year. Patna, Jul 2 (PTI) The BJP's Bihar unit on Wednesday passed a resolution criticising the 'appeasement politics' of the Mahagathbandhan helmed by Lalu Prasad's RJD, which has been opposing the Waqf (Amendment) Act that came into force in April. 'These leaders spoke of throwing the Waqf Act into the dustbin. The legislation has been passed by Parliament, and their stance is anti-Constitution. Their stand is in line with the politics of appeasement, much to the detriment of Pasmandas, who have been victims of oppression for centuries', the resolution said. Pasmanda is an umbrella term encompassing Backward, Dalit, and Adivasi Muslims whom the saffron camp is trying to woo. The resolution added: 'The BJP will never compromise on the welfare of any section of society. The Waqf (Amendment) Act was an important step in the direction of social reforms taking place in the country. Its benefits will be reaped by the generations to come. We thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the same'. The resolution also touched upon the Emergency imposed 50 years ago, and alleged that the 'lives of many generations were wasted behind (Indira Gandhi's) slogan 'Garibi Hatao'. It was under Modi that 27 crore people have been able to overcome poverty'. The resolution also lauded Rajnath Singh for 'giving a strong message to China, while on its soil, against double standards towards terror, by refusing to sign the joint statement at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Defence Minister's meeting'. The 'Vijay Sankalp Prastav' said, 'This resolution is dedicated to Mother Sita. The Bihar government has sanctioned Rs 882 crore for the development of Punauradham, her place of birth. It is a matter of pride for party workers. After the Ram temple at Ayodhya, the shrine of Sita Mata will be yet another grand symbol of our ancient heritage'. The 'Vijay Sankalp Prastav' also focused on economic growth in Bihar under NDA rule, besides pointing out the Centre's nod for caste census, which had been an emotive issue in the state that was at the forefront of the Mandal churn.
