Aiyar's jibe at PM is desperate effort to remain relevant by courting controversy, says Vijayendra
In a social media post, BJP State president B.Y. Vijayendra said: 'Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar's recent remarks at the Mysuru Literature Festival, calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi the worst-ever Prime Minister is nothing more than a desperate attempt to remain relevant by courting controversy.'
He said such baseless and fact-free assertions do not befit someone who has spent decades in public life. 'Rather than outrage, I feel only amused at Mr. Aiyar's futile attempt to rewrite political reality. Calling Prime Minister Modi the worst-ever PM is not just laughable, it is an insult to the democratic wisdom of crores of Indians who have, time and again, placed their faith in his leadership, inspired by his performance, vision and unwavering commitment to national development. Under his leadership, India has entered a new era of governance marked by rapid infrastructure growth, digital transformation, effective welfare delivery, and a confident, respected voice on the global stage,' he said.
Mr. Aiyar's comments reflect more of his personal bitterness than any serious political analysis, Mr. Vijayendra said. 'These statements, steeped in elitist condescension and political irrelevance, only serve as a reminder of why the people of India continue to reject the Congress election after election,' he said.
He maintained that: 'Mr. Modi is not just the most popular Prime Minister India has witnessed, he is also the most trusted - both within and beyond our borders.'

PM Modi set to sign the India-UK FTA deal. Here's how India benefits
India and the United Kingdom are set to sign a free trade agreement (FTA) in the backdrop of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the UK. India and the UK have been negotiating this bilateral deal for years. India is also trying to negotiate a similar agreement with the United States. But what do we know about the India-UK FTA? What's in it? How do India and UK benefit? read more Follow us on Google News . The deal, which concluded in May, was hailed as 'historic' by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. India and the United Kingdom are set to sign a free trade agreement (FTA). The development comes in the backdrop of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the UK. India and the UK have been negotiating a deal for years. Modi will meet UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and hold wide-ranging discussions with him. He will head to the Maldives next on July 25. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India is also trying to negotiate a similar agreement with the United States. But what do we know about the India-UK FTA? What's in it? How do India and UK benefit? Let's take a closer look: What we know Negotiations for the deal began in January 2022 under the previous Conservative government. Then prime minister Boris Johnson had ordered negotiators 'to get it done by Diwali in October'. However, the talks over the deal have stretched on for years before concluding in May 2025. Modi in May hailed it as a 'historical deal'. This is India's first such agreement with another nation in over a decade. This is the UK's fourth trade agreement since Brexit. Bilateral trade between the two countries was at $55 billion in 2023/24. The deal includes a double contribution convention – also known as a social security pact – which will help Indian workers. This exempt Indian professionals and companies from social security contributions in the UK for three years — a move described by the Indian government as a 'huge win'. The idea behind it is to stop employers and employees from the burden of contributing to social security in multiple countries. The FTA is extremely detailed – comprising 26 chapters on goods, services, investment, and intellectual property rights. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The deal will likely come into effect within a year. It is yet to be cleared by Britain's Parliament. India and the UK are negotiating a Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) on a parallel track. India has FTAs with Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Japan, Australia, UAE, Mauritius, the 10-nation bloc ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), and four European nations' bloc EFTA (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland). India is also currently negotiating FTAs with the US, Oman, the European Union (EU), Peru, and Israel. How India benefits The deal will allow 99 per cent of Indian exports to the UK to fall under zero-duty category. This will boost labour-intensive sectors such as textiles, leather, apparel and footwear, toys, marine product, gems and jewellery. Many of these currently face tariffs ranging from 4 per cent to 16 per cent. Engineering goods, auto components, electric and hybrid vehicles, and sports goods will also benefit. The double contribution pact will be of great help to Indian workers in the UK. It will exempt them from paying into social security for a period of three years. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD This will save them up to Rs 4,000 crore every year. Under such an agreement, an employee working in a foreign nation is exempt from paying into the social security programme of that nation. Representational Image/ Freepik. The deal will also give Indian yoga instructors, chefs, musicians, and other contractual workers temporary access to the UK. 'The UK is an important market for Indian exporters,' Ajay Sahai, director general of the Federation of Indian Export Organisation, said. It is expected to benefit firms such as Welspun India, Arvind Ltd, Bata India, Relaxo, Tata Motors, Mahindra Electric, and Bharat Forge. It will also increase the flow of investment to India. The UK is currently India's sixth-largest foreign investor. It has already invested $36 billion in India. British firms could partner with Indian companies under the FTA and receive benefits. 'This is a significant agreement,' Vikram Misri, India's foreign secretary, told reporters on Tuesday. Trade minister Piyush Goyal will accompany Modi for the formal signing, a commerce ministry official said. How UK benefits The UK has called this its 'biggest and most economically significant' deal since it signed a similar agreement with the EU. The government has called it a 'huge economic win for the UK' and a 'landmark trade deal'. India will eliminate tariffs on 90 per cent of UK goods. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD This includes cutting tariffs on Scotch whisky and gin to 75 per cent from 150 per cent. By year 10, this will be reduced to just 40 per cent. Cars being sent to India, which currently face 100 per cent tariffs, will be cut to just 10 per cent. Cosmetics, salmon, chocolates, medical devices, and biscuits will also see tariffs lowered under a quota. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer The government has called it a 'huge economic win for the UK' and a 'landmark trade deal'. AP British consumers will get the benefits of these products becoming cheaper. Tariffs will also be cut on machinery and aerospace equipment. Firms such as Diageo and carmakers like Aston Martin and Jaguar Land Rover will get a boost. There are around 1,000 Indian companies operating in the UK who employ around 100,000 people. Indian businesses could further invest in healthcare, transport, and energy sectors under the FTA. Additionally, British firms investing in India could receive preferential treatment under the 'Make in India' policy. The Scotch Whisky Association has called the deal 'transformational' The deal is expected to boost the UK economy by $6.5 billion by 2040. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Exports to India will increase by $21 billion by that year – around 69 per cent. UK firms will be allowed to bid for non-sensitive tenders in India above Rs 2 billion. The UK says it could allow access to around 40,000 tenders worth Rs 4.09 lakh crore every year.

Polls being 'stolen'; will bring out 'vote theft' in black and white with Karnataka example: Rahul
Amid the raging row over revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday (July 23, 2025) alleged that elections are being "stolen" in India and claimed that his party has figured out the modus operandi of the "vote theft" by studying a Lok Sabha constituency in Karnataka. Mr. Gandhi said he would put before the people and the Election Commission in black in white on how the "theft of votes" is being done. His remarks came after it emerged that during house-to-house visits in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in Bihar, poll officials have so far found that more than 52 lakh voters were not present at their addresses, and another 18 lakh have died. "It is not just about 52 lakhs. It is not just about Bihar, they cheated in Maharashtra. We have asked questions of the Election Commission, asked them to show us the voters list, but they did not show us the voters list. We asked for videography, they changed the law. One crore new voters had come in Maharashtra, and the election was stolen," Mr. Gandhi told reporters in Parliament House complex. 'In Karnataka, we have found out 'bhayankar chori' (massive theft). I will show it in black and white to you and the Election Commission. I will show in black and white how the 'chori' is done and from where. We have it in black and white in Karnataka,' the former Congress president said. Also Read | Congress draws parallels between the NRC, and the SIR in Bihar "They know that we have understood their game. We picked one constituency and did a deep dive. Problem is that they give a voters list on paper and paper list cannot be analysed. We took the full voters list of one constituency, we put it on digital format, it took six months but we have uncovered their whole system, how they do it, who votes and from where new voters are brought," Mr. Gandhi said. He said the Election Commission has understood this and has brought in a new system in Bihar which is that to delete voters. "In India elections are being stolen that is the reality of India," Mr. Gandhi alleged. Sharing a video of his remarks on X, Mr. Gandhi said, "We showed everyone how match-fixing happened in Maharashtra. We investigated one Lok Sabha seat in Karnataka - large-scale votes theft was found, we will soon bring it before the public." In Bihar, votes of SC, ST, OBC, and minority brothers and sisters are being stolen in the name of SIR , he claimed. "We will not sit quietly. The INDIA bloc will fight the battle for people's rights from Parliament to the streets," Mr. Gandhi said. The Opposition has been protesting in both houses of Parliament against the SIR, alleging that the EC's exercise was aimed at disenfranchising voters in Bihar ahead of the Assembly elections.
