Digvijaya calls Modi 'desi fake Obama' after his 'Yes, we can' chant.

Congress General Secretary Digvijaya Singh on Monday took a dig at Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP poll panel chief Narendra Modi for using US President Barack Obama's election pitch.

Digvijaya tweeted, "Now we have a FAKE DESI OBAMA too. FEKU at his best!"

His remarks came a day after Modi used Obama's war cry to flag off the BJP's election campaign in Hyderabad on Sunday. "Yes we can!" Modi chanted while winding up his address at a massive public meeting at the Lal Bahadur Stadium. He asked the people to echo him: "Yes, we can! Yes, we will do!"

The dairy was recovered during raids on mining barons Sudhir Sharma and Dalip Suryawanshi in June, 2012. Meanwhile the Congress has demanded resignations of both the ministers. "The Chief Minister should immediately take the resignation of the two ministers, said Ajay Singh, Leader of opposition, Madhya Pradesh."

Re 1 enough to fill your stomach, it depends on what you eat, says Farooq.

The war of words between the government and Opposition over poverty figures continues with more startling statements being made. After Congress spokesperson Raj Babbar's Rs 12 claim, now Union Minister Farooq Abdullah has courted controversy by saying that one can have a full meal for just Re 1 if desired.

"If you want, you can fill your stomach in Re 1 or Rs 100, depending on what you want to eat. We are working to change the life of the poor so they can eat well be healthy and India can progress," Farooq Abdullah said.

Congress leader Rasheed Masood has also said that it is possible for a person to buy a meal for Rs 5. "In Delhi you can get a whole meal for Rs 5, but I don't know about Mumbai. I myself spend less than Rs 5 on my meals." Masood said.

Manmohan, Obama need Twitter lessons from other world leaders.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s Twitter handle @PMOIndia ranks 28 in a listing of the top 50 world leaders by the Geneva-based @Twiplomacy and Burson-Marsteller that analysed 505 Twitter accounts of heads of states and foreign ministers in 153 countries.

At the top slot, US President @BarackObama’s 33,510,157 followers are 53 times Singh’s 631,956 followers (all data as on July 1, 2013). The second most-followed account does not belong to a political, but a religious leader — Pope Francis with 7.2 million followers on his nine different @Pontifex accounts.

Modi US visa controversy: BJP gets aggressive as MPs back down, BJP, Modi Visa, Narendra Modi, Latest News, Politics updates, political news today's, .

Modi US visa controversy: BJP gets aggressive as MPs back down.

The idea was to cause embarrassment to Narendra Modi in perpetuity. It ended up embarrassing those who tried to ensure that he does not get a US visa instead. The Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) which campaigned for a letter from Indian lawmakers against Modi and supposedly obtained their signatures, real or cut-and-paste, surely has left a lot of MPs red faced.

The controversy around the current letter, bearing signatures of 25 Rajya Sabha members and 40 from the Lok Sabha, first sent to Obama on 26 November, then on 5 December last year and re-sent on Sunday is because of its content. It says: “We wish to respectfully urge you to maintain the current policy of denying Mr Modi a visa to the United States”.

Congress set for Andhra ouster, BJP nowhere in South.

Hindu poll which looked at the election scenarios for three of the four southern states has indicated that although Congress will win Karnataka, it will have its work cut out in the South. This will mostly be because Andhra Pradesh, where the Congress won an astounding 33 seats, looks likely to be a washout for the party.

Here is what an expert panel comprising Sandeep Shastri, the Vice Chancellor of Jain university in Bangalore, Journalist Swapan Dasgupta, Professor Ramachandra Guha, author of India after Gandhi, P Sainath, the rural affairs editor for the Hindu, and N Ram, the former Editor in Chief of the paper made of the survey results:

Narendra Modi Visa: Congress says it's up to US govt to decide.

Amid reports that 65 Members of Parliament (MPs) wrote letter to US President Barack Obama in late 2012 against granting a US visa to Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP poll panel chief Narendra Modi, the Congress has washed its hands of the Modi visa controversy saying it does not make a difference to them whether or not Modi is granted a US Visa.

 

Party General Secretary Digvijaya Singh on Wednesday said, "We have nothing to do with it. It is up to the US govt to issue visa to Modi."

Modi has been denied visa by the US for the last several years over allegations of human rights violations during the 2002 riots in Gujarat. A total of 65 MPs wrote letter to Obama in late 2012 against granting Modi a US visa.

 

While one letter was signed by 25 Rajya Sabha MPs, the other was signed by 40 Lok Sabha members. The letters were written on November 26 and December 5, 2102 respectively and re-faxed to the White House on Sunday.

BJP Want Yeddyurappa Back ,With an eye on 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

Bangalore:

After being routed in the Karnataka Assembly elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party seems to be all set to welcome back former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa. But, both the party and Yeddyurappa don't want to be seen as taking the first move.

While a section of the party led by former chief minister Sadananda Gowda wants the Lingayat strongman back, there seems to be a clear opposition by those close to BJP leader Ananth Kumar.

"Yeddyurappa has not contacted us about joining the party. He left the party on his own so if he wants to join back, he should make the move first," BJP General Secretary Thawar Chand Gehlot said.
