"On Lalu's birthday, Ambedkar's picture was kept near his feet.
This was not a simple mistake. He has no respect for dalits and Ambedkar. So don't expect his apology. Only the
has incorporated Ambedkar's ideas in policies," he said, while addressing the party workers at the state BJP working committee meeting in Patna.
Singh added the BJP not just runs the govt but also unites the society and maintains the dignity of every person.
"In the Bihar NDA, neither the CM nor his deputies or ministers have any stain of corruption. That's why big changes have taken place in Bihar under the leadership of CM Nitish Kumar. We have to realise the dream of a developed Bihar under the able leadership of CM Kumar, and the state will pave the way for realising PM Modi's dream of 'Viksit Bharat by 2047'," he said, adding "Bihar ki pragati se hin desh ki pragati hogi".
Singh further said the corrupt and dynastic Congress and RJD govt pushed back Bihar.
"The Congress and RJD govts were only hungry for power. Only the NDA govt under CM Kumar scripted the turnaround story in Bihar and pulled back the state from jungle raj," he said.
Boosting the BJP workers' morale, the former party national president said, "This is not just an organisational meeting, but a 'sankalp sabha' for the accomplishment of the resolution that we have to take to take both Bihar and India to new heights.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has proved in the last 11 years that India can change and move forward, provided the leadership is strong, intention clean, policies clear and national interest is paramount.
We have to take this belief to the heart of every resident of Bihar."
"Only the pair of PM Modi and CM Kumar can give a better future to Bihar. Those who pushed Bihar into darkness and defamed it are trying to come to power again.
Make people beware," Singh told workers.

"Doesn't even deserve to be in opposition": BJP MLA Mahesh Tenginkai slams Congress over Priyank Kharge's RSS remark
Hubbali (Karnataka) [India], July 3 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Mahesh Tenginkai slammed Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge over his recent statement to ban the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), stating that the Congress does not even deserve to sit in the 'opposition' and that Kharge should think before making such a statement. The BJP MLA stated that his party will remain in power for the next 20 years and that no attention will be given to Priyank Kharge's statement. 'Priyank Kharge should think once. BJP is PM Narendra Modi's party, which will stay in power for 20 more years. Your party (Congress) will not be in power. It doesn't even deserve to be in is no need to give more attention to his statement', the BJP MLA said. Following Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge's statement of imposing a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the BJP has hit back at the Congress leader, stating that the minister is 'threatening bans' as he feels that the situation in the country is like the year 1975. The Karnataka unit of the BJP slammed Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge through an 'X' post. Stating that Kalaburagi, which has been 'ruled' by Kharge for more than 50 years, remains one of the most 'underdeveloped' parts of Karnataka. 'Priyank Kharge, a minister only because of his father's influence, is now threatening bans like it's 1975 all over again. The Congress's alleged 'President/High Command' Mallikarjun Kharge ruled the Kalaburagi region for half a century. Yet it remains one of the most underdeveloped parts of Karnataka', the 'X' post said. Furthermore, the BJP stated that the both Priyank and Mallikarjun Kharge had so much to contribute towards the development of the state, but they spent their time 'chasing fantasies' like banning RSS. The 'X' post said that Priyank Kharge feels that he can distract the attention of Karnataka people by making such statements, but he has 'failed' in his attempt. 'Mini Kharge, along with his father, had so much to contribute but spent their time chasing fantasies like banning the RSS. And if he thinks making such statements will distract Kannadigas from the Multi Crore Housing Committee scam, he has failed. Just like he did in first PUC', the 'X' post said. Priyank Kharge on Tuesday slammed Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) over their General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale's statement demanding reconsideration of the terms 'socialist' and 'secular' in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution. Alleging that the RSS wants to 'alter' the Indian Constitution, Kharge said that these are the same people who 'staged a protest when the constituent assembly debates were going on and burned the constitution'. Responding to recent remarks made by Hosabale, the Karnataka Minister said, 'Very clearly, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in his last speech has defined anti-nationals as those who create animosity by bringing in caste, and those people who are going to impede the social, political and economic progress of the country are the real anti-national. Those people who sow the seeds of communal hatred in society are anti-national. So who's doing that right now?...'. (ANI)

A lover's relationship: Kejriwal alleges secret nexus between Cong and BJP
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal launched a scathing attack on both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress during a party membership drive in Ahmedabad, alleging that the two major national parties are secretly working in tandem. Addressing the supporters, Kejriwal drew a provocative analogy, questioning the relationship between the two parties in Gujarat. He said, "What is the relationship between Congress and the BJP? Is it a brother-sister relationship or a husband-wife relationship? It is a lovers' relationship. They meet secretly due to the fear of society. Society does not accept their marriage." He accused both parties of being complicit in corruption and blamed their alleged collusion for decades of misgovernance. He said, "Stay away from them, they are very dangerous. Their rule lasted for 30 years because Congress was in their pocket. 70 per cent of contracts go to this party, 20 per cent of contracts go to that party. Both parties have opened their own companies. These people don't go to jail... Congress works for the BJP. Only Aam Aadmi Party serves the country." He positioned AAP as the genuine alternative in Indian politics, saying that the only AAP "serves the country." On Tuesday, while speaking to the media, Kejriwal hailed the party's victory in Gujarat's Visavadar by-election, saying it reflects the mood of Gujarat for a change. Kejriwal said, "In the Visavadar by-election, the overwhelming majority with which Aam Aadmi Party secured victory and defeated BJP shows the mood of Gujarat, that people are fed up with BJP, they are angry, and want change. Gujarat wants a change," Kejriwal said. The AAP Chief said that the victory was a response to the people's desire for an alternative to the BJP, which has ruled Gujarat for 30 years. "BJP ruled here for 30 years because there was no alternative; Congress was sitting in BJP's lap... Now people have found a good, honest, patriotic alternative. They have decided to bring the Aam Aadmi Party to power," Kejriwal claimed. On June 24, after winning the Visavadar Assembly bye-election by 17,554 votes, AAP leader Gopal Italia credited victory to public support, called it a historic result against the BJP's efforts, and highlighted growing faith in AAP leadership in Gujarat. The Visavadar seat fell vacant after Bhayani Bhupendrabhai Gandubhai resigned. Visavadar assembly constituency is part of Junagadh district and a segment of Junagadh Lok Sabha constituency. The party had fielded Gopal Italia, a former Gujarat party chief, as its candidate for the Visavadar Assembly bypolls. The AAP party workers celebrated the election results in Gujarat, as Gopal Italia defeated BJP's Kirit Patel by 17,554 votes, garnering 75,942 votes in total.
