Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday, November 7, 2023 claimed the BJP-led government at the Centre has handed over assets of the country to big industrialists.
Addressing an election rally in Balod district of Chhattisgarh, she said the caste census will help in giving equal representation to every section of society and draft policies for their welfare.
She accused the Central government of ignoring farmers and the poor. “What did the Central government do? Two aircraft each worth Rs. 8,000 crore were procured for Modi ji . A new Parliament building was built spending ₹20,000 crore. When this was announced, Uttar Pradesh sugarcane farmers were seeking their dues running into ₹15,000 crore. Modi ji has money for Parliament building and aircraft, but not for farmers,” Ms. Vadra alleged.
“They (Centre) have destroyed the good things or handed over the assets of the country to big industrialists,” she added.
“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
The High Court of Karnataka on Monday declined to interfere, at present, in the investigation against a Bharatiya Janata Party worker, who is among the accused persons facing charges of circulating obscene clips, related to “morphed” images and videos clips related to Prajwal Revanna, former Hassan MP, in public domain through pen drives and other modes.
