Rakesh Tikait claims BJP leaders shot at his car, video posted by him shows farmers damaging the car with a stick

On Friday, ‘farmer leader’ Rajesh Tikait claimed that his car was shot at by BJP workers in Rajasthan. The Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) posted a video on Twitter today, alleging that BJP’s ‘goons’ had tried to murder him at the Tatarpur village on the Bansur Road in Alwar village, Rajasthan. He termed the video as the visuals of the murder of democracy.

But surprisingly, while the protesting farmers were recording the video of the allegedly attacked car, they themselves were attacking the car. And this act of damaging the car was seen in the video recorded and shared by themselves.

In the video, a man can be heard giving running commentary on what had allegedly happened in a very agitated tone. While the camera points towards the rear windshield of the car, with some damage on the right side, the speaker says that Rakesh Tikait was attacked in Alwar district by ‘BJP leaders, anti-farmer leader Narendra Modi’. As soon as the man says that the ‘car was shot at’, someone hits the windshield with a stick, breaking the glass on the spot wher it was hit with the stick.

After that the commentator continues pointing towards the brand new damage, ‘you can see that Rakesh Tikait’s car was shot at, stone pelting has been done on the car by BJP leaders, Narendra Modi, anti-farmer leaders’. The man also claimed that BJP leaders also threw ink at Rakesh Tikait, apart from firing at him.

Even though Tikait and other farmers claim his car was shot at, there is no sign of any bullet entry on the car. Bullets generally create small hole, with cracks around it. But the existing damage of the windshield which is there at the start of the video appears to be result of hitting by a blunt object. It is known whether it also came from hitting by the stick, or whether there was indeed stone pelting on the car.

This is not the first time the ‘farmer leaders’ are damaging their own car to cry victim. In January this year, Punjab Kisan Union leader Ruldu Singh Mansa had smashed the windscreen of his car by a hockey stick, and had later claimed that Delhi police had prevented him from joining the protests, and had attacked his car.

Later it was emerged that Delhi police had refused to allow him to travel in his car to attend the meeting on farm bills with the union govt, as he had obtained requisite prior approval for his private car.  After he was stopped by police, he became angry, picked up a hockey stick, and smashed the rear windscreen of his own car, and after that he alleged that the Delhi police attacked his car.

Mumbai: Despite having 83 corporators in BMC, BJP gets zero allocation from Mayor’s Rs 190 crore fund, Mayor from Shiv Sena defends

Despite having 83 corporators in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, the second-highest after Shiv Sena’s 97, the saffron party did not receive a single paisa from the Mayor’s Rs 190 crores fund, a report published in the Times of India said.

By contrast, Shiv Sena received a maximum of Rs 163 crores for its 97 corporators. Congress, with 29 corporators, bagged Rs 9 crores and the NCP got Rs 11 crores for its 8 corporators. Even Samajwadi Party, which has six corporators, managed to get Rs 4.75 crores from the Mayor’s fund. Corporators from other parties and independents got Rs 2.25 crores.

BJP corporator Vinod Mishra lamented the partial behaviour meted out to the corporators belonging to the saffron party. He alleged that they had been cheated once again and accused the Mayor of the city of doing injustice to the people of the city.

“We have been cheated once again. The Mayor’s Fund is not the private fund of the mayor. It is taxpayers’ money. The BJP’s 83 corporators have also been elected by the people of Mumbai and by not giving any money to BJP corporators, the mayor is doing injustice to these people,” Mishra said.

Earlier, the BJP was snubbed with a paltry allocation from the BMC standing committee’s kitty. BJP had then got Rs 140 crores from the Rs 650 crore fund passed by the civic standing committee. Sena had then received a staggering Rs 340 crores.

Shiv Sena member and Mumbai mayor Kishori Pednekar defends zero allocation to BJP’s 83 corporators

However, Mumbai mayor Kishori Pednekar, who is from Shiv Sena, said she could not allocate double funds to the BJP since they had already received Rs 140 crores from the standing committee. But, Pednekar did not elaborate on how Shiv Sena corporators qualified to receive Rs 163 crores when they were already given Rs 340 crores by the standing committee.

“The BJP has already received Rs 140 crore from the standing committee. So we can’t give them double funds through the Mayor’s fund. I have given funds to all group leaders and also to all corporators who gave request letters for funds,” Pednekar said.

She further alleged that when BJP was in power in the state, it was providing funds only to BJP MLAs and not to legislators from other parties. However, here too, Pednekar overlooked the fact that Shiv Sena had extended support to BJP while it was in power from 2014 to 2019.

Standing committee chairperson Yashwant Jadhav was more brazen in admitting prejudice against the BJP. He termed it as mayoral discretion to decide the allocation of funds given to corporators of different political parties.

“There is a convention that funds are distributed as per the corporator strength of each party. But there is no such rule when allotting standing panel and Mayor’s funds; they are given as per the discretion of the panel chairperson and mayor, respectively,” Jadhav said.

The civic administration had cut down on the standing committee’s amendment fund in the budget to Rs 650 crore from last year’s Rs 750 crores. The panel earmarks money for corporators for work in their constituencies and then the general body amends the budget further, which is known as Mayor’s fund.

Is Asaduddin Owaisi insinuating that Hindus are up for sale and ‘honourable’ Muslims cannot be bought? Here is what he said

Is Asaduddin Owaisi insinuating that Hindus are up for sale and ‘honourable’ Muslims cannot be bought? Here is what he said

While the battle for West Bengal this election cycle is mostly between BJP and TMC, there are a couple of other smaller parties that are vying for their electoral share as well. One of those parties that is trying to capture some ground in Bengal is AIMIM, the party of Asaduddin Owaisi.

Recently, Mamata Banerjee has been trying her best to assert her long-lost Hindu identity, in a bid to whitewash her ‘Muslim appeasement’ image. To that end, Mamata Banerjee today said in Cooch Behar, “A person came to Bengal from Hyderabad, he took money from BJP. Don’t allow him here”.

Mamata Banerjee was insinuating that Asaduddin Owaisi, who is predominantly from Hyderabad is on the payrolls of BJP since he is Bengal to divide the Muslim vote.

Owaisi took to Twitter today to hit back at Mamata Banerjee’s comment. Invoking the Gujarat riots of 2002 yet again, Owaisi said that at that time, Mamata had voted against a motion to condemn Gujarat ‘pogrom’ of Muslims. He asked if Mamata Banerjee did this for free, for a price or for a ministerial position.

He further said, “Only criminal gangs divide up territories between themselves & attack each other when someone enters. Since I’m not part of this criminal syndicate, it’s natural that Mamata Banerjee is rattled. You can’t buy people who have no Gotra. You can’t scare people who know no fear”.

This comment was in response to Mamata Banerjee playing her Hindu card while campaigning in Nandigram. Mamata said when she visited a temple, the priest asked her about her gotra. “I told him ‘Maa Maati Manush’. That reminded me of my visit to Tripureshwari temple where too the priest had asked my gotra and I told him ‘Maa Mati Manush’,” she said, adding that “actually I am Shandilya”.

The comment had created quite a storm with BJP and Owaisi both slamming Mamata for different reasons. While BJP called Mamata a seasonal Hindu, Owaisi had said that there is a race between candidates to prove who is more Hindu.

However, the current comment by Owaisi seems to have far more communal undertones than Mamata Banerjee trying to prove that she is a bigger Hindu than PM Modi.

When Owaisi said that “You can’t buy people who have no Gotra”, it was a clear allusion to his religion vs the supposed religion of Mamata Banerjee. Considering all Hindus do have a Gotra, when Owaisi says that “you can’t buy people who have no Gotra”, it would appear that Owaisi is saying that while Hindus are ‘up for sale’, ‘honourable’ Muslims are now.

This observation was made by several people on Social Media as well.

Interestingly, while Owaisi had slammed Mamata for being ‘communal’ in trying to prove her Hindu credentials, Owaisi himself is seen here making a wildly communal statement that has Hinduphobic undertones.

Asaduddin Owaisi and his party’s hate for Hindus, however, is not unknown. Only recently, days after the violent clash between the Hindu and Muslim community in Bhainsa in the Nirmal district of Telangana, the police had arrested 22 people, including one sitting AIMIM councillor. As per reports, the unnamed AIMIM leader has been charged with an attempt to murder and armed riot. 

Back in 2020, controversial AIMIM leader and former Maharasthra MLA Waris Pathan was seen inciting Muslims at an anti-CAA rally in Gulbarga, Karnataka, in the presence of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on February 16. In a veiled threat to the Hindus, Pathan resorted to inciting Muslims by stating that the time had come for the Muslims of the country to unite and ‘achieve freedom’. He added that even though Muslims are just 15 crores in the country, they can still dominate over 100 crore Hindus.

Evidently, while Owaisi blames every other politician for being ‘communal’ for trying to prove their Hindu credentials, he seems to believe that his own anti-Hindu statements and the actions by his party members are a shining example of the famed Congress brand of ‘secularism’.

Wife of Delhi police constable dies of suicide by hanging herself after trying to strangulate her two toddlers

A day after a Rohini man committed suicide after murdering his wife and children, another shocker has been reported from the national capital. In a similar incident, the wife of a Delhi constable allegedly strangled her two children before hanging herself to death at her house in Delhi’s Ghitorni village on Thursday. The deceased woman’s sons, both around 3 years, have survived and are currently undergoing treatment in the hospital. While the elder son is stable, the condition of the younger child is said to be still critical.

The Delhi constable, whose wife has died of suicide has been identified as Sushil. He is posted at the Vasant Bihar police station in Delhi. As per reports, when Sushil reached his home at around 8 PM on Thursday, he knocked on the door but there was no response from inside. As the door was locked from inside, the constable immediately called the police for help.

Arriving at the spot, the police broke open the door and found that Sushil’s wife Rajesh was found dead, hanging from a ceiling fan.

“Police reached the spot at Ghitorni village and the door of the house was found latched from inside,” police official Ingit Pratap Singh said, adding that the woman was found dead inside. The couple’s two sons, Shresth and Samarth, were found unconscious in the bathroom and were rushed to a hospital. The condition of Shresh is critical, while Samarth is out of danger, as per doctors.

Children of the Delhi constable whose wife committed suicide were found with blood splattered on the faces

According to an eyewitness who helped break open the door, the woman’s body was hanging from the ceiling fan while her kids were found in the bathroom. He further added that blood was splattered on the faces of the two kids and cloth was wrapped around their neck.

According to Zee News, the constable and his wife had a disturbed marital life. The reason behind the alleged suicide is said to be their frequent fights. Meanwhile, the police are interrogating constable Sushill to rule out any foul play.

Shooting sounds heard in Donetsk as Russia-Ukraine crisis intensifies further, videos viral on social media

A major confrontation between Russia and Ukraine is feared with reports of a military build-up in the eastern region of Ukraine. Reports are now coming in of shooting sounds being heard in the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk.

Journalist Ali Özkök shared videos of the same on Twitter. We cannot confirm the veracity of the videos being shared but such videos are circulating widely on social media.

He further said that explosions and large-caliber small arms are heard.

Other videos are also circulating on social media where the sounds of shelling is audible.

Meanwhile, Russia has warned that any NATO deployment in Ukraine would increase tensions and Moscow will be forced to take appropriate measures in response to the same. On Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that efforts to initiate a new conflict in Eastern Ukraine would destroy the country.

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has “condemned recent escalations of Russian aggressive and provocative actions in eastern Ukraine.” Russia, however, maintains that its troop deployment in the region is to ensure its own security and not directed against anyone.

Earlier, it was reported that 4 Ukrainian soldiers had died on the 26th of March following shelling by Russia backed Ukrainian rebels.

Congress leader says fodder scam convict Lalu Yadav is in jail because of his ‘caste’

Congress leader says fodder scam convict Lalu Yadav is in jail because of his ‘caste’

Congress Dalit leader Udit Raj, going by his party’s penchant, has again tried to spread false caste narratives to gain relevance in the social media space. He took to Twitter to empathise with the multi-crore fodder scam convict Lalu Prasad Yadav, insinuating that whatever difficult condition the former Bihar CM is in today is because of his ‘caste’.

The Congress leader seems to be of the firm belief that the reason behind the former Bihar Chief Minister’s sufferings is his anti-Modi stance and his ‘caste’, not his multiple corruption cases and involvement in scams worth billions.

He took to Twitter to share a picture of Lalu Prasad recuperating in AIIMS and wrote in Hindi: “ये लालू यादव जी हैं । जेल में हैं । इस समय इलाज AIIMS में चल रहा है ।इनका दोष भाजपा विरोधी होना और पिछड़े समाज से आना है।” (This is Lalu Yadav ji. He is in jail. Currently he is being treated in AIIMS. His mistake is that he is at odds with BJP and belongs to the backward class).

The Congress spokesperson sympathises with the scam-convict politician, insinuating that his conviction in the multi-crore scam is nothing but political vendetta. While he accuses the Modi government of caste-based discrimination, he completely ignores the fact that the courts have convicted Lalu Prasad for amassing massive wealth by misappropriating public money after years of legal proceedings.

For Congress leader Udit Raj, it does not matter whether Lalu Yadav is corrupt or unethical, as long he furthers his party’s political narrative against the current political establishment in the country. He also ignored that along with Lalu, Jagannath Mishra was also convicted in the fodder scam cases.

Udit Raj’s falsehoods were called out by many on Twitter.

Some users even pointed out the lavish treatment Lalu Yadav is getting despite being a convicted criminal. It is notable here that Lalu Yadav had been admitted in RIMS for months. During the covid scare he was shifted to the RIMS Director’s bungalow from where he was even running party meetings during the 2020 Bihar election campaign.

Udit Raj and his caste rhetorics

Udit Raj’s remark do not completely surprise us, as his anti-Brahmin rhetorics are not hidden from anyone. The All India Parisangh, a Dalit organisation run by Congress leader Udit Raj, had once compared the Brahmin community to pigs. It posted an image of a pig wearing the janeu, the sacred thread that Brahmins wear. It also claimed that the Judiciary is comprised of only Brahmins.

After Arnab Goswami questioned Sonia Gandhi over her silence on the lynching of Sadhus on Palghar, the All India Parisangh said that ‘only a Brahmin can fall as low as Arnav Goswami has fallen’. A complaint was registered against the same by a social worker from Rajasthan’s Bikaer with the Cyber Crime Branch in New Delhi.

Congress and caste based politics goes hand in hand

Evidently, the Congress spokesperson is no different from his party members. He only does what his party supremos indulge in doing all the time. One remembers how the Congress party had recently clung to the Hathras incident to gain some much-needed political capital in Uttar Pradesh, by exploiting the caste angles in the case. When the Uttar Pradesh police arrested the notorious gangster Vikas Dubey and encountered his aides, then too, the Congress party has stepped up its caste politics, trying to paint the BJP Government led by Yogi Adityanath as ‘anti-Brahmin’.

We have seen Congress supporting Bhim Army in Uttar Pradesh. They fanned the Bhima-Koregaon violence hailing the protests and blaming BJP for ignoring Dalits.

In the case of Rohit Vemula suicide too, Congress played and played it as much they could to generate ‘Dalit Injustice’ narrative. Their support to Hardik Patel just before the Gujrat polls further clarified it. Not only Hardik, Jignesh Mevani too became their darling when it came to opposing BJP. It has also tried to play the ‘Lingayat‘ card in Karnataka.

Cricket fans get nostalgic on the 10th anniversary of Team India’s historic World Cup 2011 win: Here are some visuals

Indian cricket team under the charismatic leadership of MS Dhoni scripted a historic win and ended the 28-year-long drought on this day in 2011 when they lifted the second ICC Cricket World Cup in Wankhede stadium.

It has been 10 years since MS Dhoni played the winning six off Nuwan Kulasekara that led commentator Ravi Shashtri to describe the victory in the most emphatic manner.

“Dhoni finishes off in style, A magnificent strike into the crowd! India lift the World Cup after 28 years!”, Shashtri roared on-air as a dispassionate Dhoni saw the ball sailing through the crowd and casually twirled his bat as a mark of celebrating the victory.

On the other end was prolific batsman Yuvraj Singh, who broke into celebrations long before the ball was dispatched into the stands by the Indian captain. Though it was Gautam Gambhir’s crucial knock of 97 and Dhoni’s quick-fire half-century that sealed the victory, it was Singh’s consistent performance with the bat that saw India through to the finals. For his outstanding contribution to the team’s victories throughout the tournament, Singh was judged the man of the series.

The triumph sent goosebumps to billions of Indians as they saw MS Dhoni lifting the much-coveted World Cup and the unforgettable victory lap when junior team India members lifted the legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders to dedicate the victory to the Master Blaster and acknowledge his unparalleled contribution to the Indian cricket.

The Indian cricket team’s victory on 2 April 2011 was a moment of rejoicing for the nation it had never witnessed in the recent past. The triumph brought the country to a standstill, with cricket-lovers across the nation taking to the streets cavorting around in celebrations that went into the wee hours of the next morning.

The victory was so special that millions of Indian cricket fans, along with Team India members broke into cries of joy that night. The emotion was so overwhelming that even today, 10 years after India won the World Cup, Indian cricket fans and team members are acutely aware of that feeling and are filled with an immense sense of nostalgia remembering the victory. Even today, the iconic six slammed by MS Dhoni remains firmly etched in the memories of the Indian cricket fans.

Here are some of the reactions from players and organisations to mark the 10-year anniversary of India’s 2011 World Cup triumph:

The International Cricket Council took to social media to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Indian world cup triumph with an animated reel, recreating the victorious six hit by MS Dhoni.

State broadcaster DD Doordarshan shared the original clip from the match when Indian captain MS Dhoni creamed a six over the long-on and sealed the victory for his team.

Gautam Gambhir, then a member of Team India and now a parliamentarian, remembered the victory saying: “A billion Indians won the World Cup on this day! Jai Hind!”

Cricketer Yuvraj Singh, who played a pivotal role in India’s World Cup triumph, took to Twitter to remember the victory. Singh released a video in which he expressed his gratitude to be able to represent India and bring glory to the nation. Singh also shared how the Team members wanted to win the World Cup for Sachin Tendulkar, who carried the weight of the nation’s expectations on his shoulders.

Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, who is currently hospitalised after testing positive for COVID-19, could not stop himself from reminiscing the iconic moment. Tendulkar wished Indians & his teammates on the 10th anniversary of the World Cup victory.

Fans too joined in to mark the 10th anniversary of the World Cup victory.

On 2 April 2011, India won the Cricket World Cup for the second time in history. The first victory had come in 1983 under the leadership of legendary all-rounder Kapil Dev.

Congress party shares manipulated video to suggest PM Modi was waiving at an empty ground in West Bengal: Here is the truth

Congress party shares manipulated video to suggest PM Modi was waiving at an empty ground in West Bengal: Here is the truth

Once again, the Congress party has been caught spreading fake news against BJP and PM Modi. This time, the Congress party and Youth Congress president Srinivas BV was found sharing a badly edited video on Twitter to suggest that Narendra Modi was waiving at an empty ground with no people.

On Friday, Srinivas BV shared a video on Twitter, with the caption ‘are you also seeing what I am seeing in this video?’ The video showed blurry visuals of PM Modi waiving towards what looks like an empty ground and lines or trees in the distance. If the video is to believed, it would seem that there was no crowd at the event where PM Modi was present, and he was just waiving at imaginary audience. The video also lacks any audio.

After some time, the video was also posted by the official Twitter account of the Congress party, asking if it is another ‘oversight’, taking a jibe at the government for the reduction in interest rates, which was withdrawn saying it was ‘issued by oversight’. An archive version of the tweet can be seen here.

Screenshot of tweet by Congress

Although the blurred video seemed to suggest that Modi was waiving at an empty ground, the reality is different. Because, there was a huge crowd in the background, which got hidden after the video was blurred. Moreover, there was a roaring sound of the crowd, which was removed by simply removing the audio from the video.

Soon after Congress party and its leaders posted the video, alert social media users quickly posted the original video with sharp visuals and sound, which revealed the truth.


After their lies were caught re-handed by social media users, the Congress party and Srinivas BV deleted their tweets.

In fact, the original video was posted on Twitter yesterday itself, which showed PM Narendra Modi arriving at Jaynagar in West Bengal for an election rally. It can be seen in the video that the prime minister’s helicopter had landed on a very large ground, with at least three helicopters seen on the ground. The crowd was standing behind a fence at some distance. For that reason, it was easy to hide them by blurring the video, as the crowd got mixed with the treeline on the horizon.

Therefore, the fact is that PM Modi received a roaring welcome from the crowd at Jaynagar in West Bengal, and the ground was not empty as the Congress will like to believe.

Doordarshan: The sweet old TV shows of the 80s and 90s

The unmissable music, the unwavering anticipation for the next episode and the unmatchable connect with the stories and the characters. Doordarshan of the 80s and 90s was certainly the golden era of Indian television.

On April 1 in 1976, that Doordarshan radio and television were separated and Doordarshan Corporation was formed.

As we reminisce, let’s travel back in time to refresh some good old memorie of some of the most popular shows on Doordarshan.

Let’s begin and recap some classic entertainers from the era, not before listening to this epic track.

01. Hum Log

Doordarshan’s first serial drama series, Hum Log takes you straight to the India of 1980s. A middle-class family dealing with social problems like family planning, women’s issues, alcoholism and the harsh ground reality connected with the audience instantly. A huge hit, it was the longest-running serial at that time with a total of 156 episodes.

02. Buniyaad

Haveliram struggles to navigate between his familial duties and the desire to live in an independent India. Buniyaad went on to become a hugely popular serial that showcased the life of a common man after India’s partition and its aftereffects. Amid the nationwide lockdown last year, Buniyaad made its way back on Doordarshan for a rerun.

03.Karamchand

“Shut up Kitty” said India’s favorite detective. A detective show with a hint of comedy, Karamchand solved a new case every episode. The show was hugely popular amongst audiences from all age groups.

05. Nukkad

Nukkad had 26 characters who led a simpleton life. The show had nothing fancy but the right amount of comedy and drama. From Guru the electrician to Khopri, the show focused on the struggles and experiences of people from the working class.

And it’s time for a short break…

06. Ramayan

Reserve your seats as it’s time for the next episode of Ramayan. The iconic serial on the life of Lord Sri Ram got every member of a family glued to their seats. The ones who did not own a TV rushed to the nearest house with a TV set hours before to not miss a minute of the episode. The craze for the show was evident when it crossed all the TV entertainment records in the rerun during the lockdown in 2020. Such is the fan following!

07. Shaktimaan

Our very own superhero, Shaktimaan definitely made our childhood memorable every time he entered and exited a scene twirling. Even though it was a show based on a fictional superhero, it always ended with a takeaway for the kids. Shaktimaan’s title song, dialogues, his suit and the serial’s characters were all immensely popular among kids and even adults.

08. Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi

A slapstick comedy, Ye Jo Hai Zindagi beautifully captured a middle-class family’s life. Every element of the show seems relevant even today, be it budgeting before visiting a restaurant or telling a harmless lie to avoid a relative.

Mamata Banerjee seen shaking her injured leg comfortably in viral video, raises suspicions about her ‘injury’: Watch

A video has gone viral on social media where West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee could be seen shaking her supposedly injured leg comfortably without any apparent discomfort. It is generally observed that a plastered leg causes some amount of pain if the person is not cautious enough, however, Mamata Banerjee does not appear encumbered by such mundane affairs.

At another point in the video, she put her other leg on top of her supposedly injured leg. The video has sparked much laughter and mockery on social media. It is not clear when and where the video was captured.

BJP leader Vishnu Vardhan Reddy has commented on the same saying that the video tells a different story than the one voiced by Mamata Banerjee herself.

BJP Mumbai spokesperson Suresh Nakhua asked, “Who plays around with the broken leg?”

Another video had surfaced earlier which showed the West Bengal CM standing on her feed on her injured leg with her aides rushing to seat her. She said that she cannot remain seated during the National Anthem and therefore, had to make an effort to stand up. It was a perplexing spectacle, indeed.

The circumstances of her injury have been mysterious from the very beginning. While Mamata Banerjee claimed that she was attacked by goons associated with the BJP, eyewitnesses said that it was an accident and a report submitted to the Election Commission said the same thing as well.

The video that has now emerged casts further doubts into the story peddled by the Trinamool Congress.
