Madhya Pradesh CM Kamal Nath left red-faced as power supply tripped when he went to cast his vote

Causing huge embarrassment to Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath who had formed the government in the State last year, the power supply tripped during the early hours today when he reached the polling booth to cast his vote. Nath had turned up with his wife, son, and daughter-in-law at a polling booth in Shikhapur area at around 8 am.

As the CM arrived at the booth the power supply tripped leaving the leader red-faced. He was inside the polling booth when the power supply was interrupted. Later Nath and his family had to cast his vote in the flashlight of the cameras of the media persons. It took around half an hour to restore the power supply. When questioned about the tripping of the power supply, Nath said that the matter will be looked into.

Nath is accused in the 1984 Anti-Sikh riots. Prior to the Assembly elections in the State, a video of Nath was going viral on social media wherein he was advising the Muslim community to be patient till the assembly elections and saying “we will deal with them later” probably referring to the Hindus.

Recently during the Income-Tax Department raids at 50 locations connected with the Chief Minister a huge cache of currency notes was found stuffed in suitcases. Along with other things recovered in the rais, the I-T Department had found a diary belonging the Nath’s brother-in-law and the chairman of the Moser Baer group, Deepak Puri which revealed that Moser Baer group had involved in converting Rs. 242 crore of money to dollars by raising bogus bills.

“Earlier our country was slave of the British, Mughals and Italian government” : Kangana Ranaut

The ‘Queen’ of Bollywood Kangana Ranaut was in her typical best yet again. She spoke to the media in her unapologetic yet candid style soon after casting her vote in Mumbai today. While launching a scathing attack on the previous Congress governments, she urged the people to exercise their vote rights. She asserted that voting is once in a five-year opportunity and should be utilized.

In a veiled onslaught, she referred to the previous Congress government as the “Italian government” and said it is now that the country is independent in true sense. “I think India is getting its independence now in the true sense of the word because earlier we were slaves of either the British, the Mughals or the Italian government. Please use your right of self-governance here today (at the polling booth). Jai Hind.”

Taking a dig at the politicians, she further added that earlier we were slaves because our politicians used to chill abroad while the country continued to suffer from issues like poverty, pollution, etc.

She was her fiery self and did not mince any words to point out that the country was in its worse phase during the tenure of the Congress government. “Our country was in its worst phase during the Congress rule. It could not get worse,” she said and added now was our time for “Swaraj” and “Swadharm.”

Kangana is known for speaking out her heart. Her straightforwardness often makes her a soft target of her own ‘film’ fraternity.

Popular Twitter account TrueIndology suspended again after suspended bureaucrat threatened to use his ‘contacts’ to block it

Popular Twitter account TrueIndology suspended again after suspended bureaucrat threatened to use his ‘contacts’ to block it

A day after suspended bureaucrat Ashish Joshi threatened Twitter historian True Indology of blocking his account, the popular Twitter account was suspended by Twitter.

TrueIndology is very meticulous with facts, and the handle often corrects wrong and false claims made about history mostly by left liberals. He did the same yesterday when he exposed the ignorance of Joshi, who was suspended for using his official position for personal agenda. After True Indology proved that Ashish Joshi made false claims about Sherwan & Sherwani, the suspended officer threatened that he will get the account blocked. He said that last time he had only got the account suspended, but this time he will go step ahead and get it blocked.

Joshi had also threatened to dox True Indology by saying that he will use his connections with IPS officers to know the identity of people behind the anonymous handle.

Among the many lies exposed by True Indology, one recent lie to be busted was the claim that land for the Garakhnath temple was donated by a Muslim ruler. This claim was proved to be false by the Twitter historian using various documents.

This is not the first time the popular Twitter account was suspended by Twitter for relentless attack by those who are inconvenienced by his fact checks. His account is regularly attacked with mass reporting by an organised gang of left-liberals, which causes the account to be suspended or locked. The fact that Twitter has a self-confessed left-leaning bias, contributes to fast suspension of right-wing accounts by the social media site.

In January this year, True Indology’s Twitter was locked after the account had exposed a false narrative circulated by NDTV. Before this, the account was suspended several times, to be restored later after reviewing the decision.

After the account was suspended, Twitter users started demanding that the suspension should be revoked. Uses of the social media site are tweeting with the hashtag #BringBackTrueIndology demanding the restoration of the Twitter account.

Congress leader plays caste and religion card in illegal Rohingya affected Mewat region in Rajasthan

A Congress leader, Zahida Khan, while asking for Rohingya affected Mewat region in Rajasthan, urged the Gujjars and the Muslims to come together to vote especially if they could ‘come together to rob’.

The controversial statement was given in Kaman, Rajasthan where Khan said, “If Mewat backs a candidate, then 36 communities back that candidate. The way I have been welcomed here I am hopeful that if God willing, Abhijit will become the MP here. But do give him more votes than you’d give me. For five years you supported but when it came to casting vote, you displayed your Gujjar identity. This time I request with folded hands to not repeat this mistake.” She then added, “if Gujjars and Muslims could come together to rob, why can’t they come together to vote?” Khan was urging to the Meo community of Muslims from Mewat region

She added that her family, especially her father Chaudhary Taiyab Hussain has always supported the Gujjars.

After the video went viral, a complaint was also registered against her with the Election Commission. Khan had given this controversial speech in Kaman region of Bharatpur district in Rajasthan which falls in the Mewat region. Mewat is a region which cuts across Rajasthan and Haryana and is highly influenced by illegal Rohingya population and cow smugglers.

However, Khan has dismissed the video and called it doctored. She said that the video is a conspiracy of her political rivals who are bothered by the kind of support she and Congress candidate Abhijeet Jatav is getting from the people.

Zahida Khan’s husband Jalish Khan was the prime accused in the infamous Bharatpur gangrape case where a Dalit girl was allegedly raped by some men for about 15 days. Zahida Khan, who is a law graduate from the University of Delhi, had written a letter to the then Rajasthan Chief Minister of Rajasthan denying the allegations of rape against her husband. The rape survivor had also alleged that she was being threatened of dire consequences if she did not withdraw the case. She was also allegedly offered Rs 1 crore to ‘settle’ the case.

Telangana: Teacher sacked for giving a student 0 marks instead of 99, massive protests after 3 lakh students fail 12th exam

The Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) has sacked a teacher in Telangana after she was found guilty of awarding 0 marks to a student instead of 99. On Sunday, the BIE also suspended another teacher found guilty in this matter. The decision was taken on the recommendation of a three-member committee report that had found both teachers guilty of forsaking their duties.

Reportedly, Uma Devi, a private school teacher had evaluated Navya’s 12th class Telegu paper and awarded her a 0, but the student had deserved 99 marks in the paper. BIE also imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 on Devi while the school management has terminated her.

Vinay Kumar, a teacher of a tribal welfare school was the scrutinizer but he failed to notice the serious error. He too stands suspended by the BIE as a result.

The results, which were released on April 18 by the board, were disappointing as over 3 lakh students failed to clear their examinations. Such results have forced many students to commit suicide. So far, about 20 students are reported to have succumbed to the failure in their board exams and have committed suicide.

The opposition parties have launched their protest against the K Chandrasekhar Rao led government on the issue. BJP state unit chief K Laxman who is sitting on a hunger strike has demanded a judicial probe. He has also urged the removal of education minister Guntakandla Jagdishwar Reddy and sacking of secretary of Board of Intermediate Education.

There are reports of an outbreak of massive protests outside the Nama Telangana Intermediate Council board office at Nampally district. About 1,000 of the protesting leaders from various political parties were taken into preventive custody.

These protests have forced the state government to announce free re-evaluation of answer sheets of these students. The government has also assured to rectify the lapses.

In its report, the three-member committee has mentioned inaccuracy on the part of the software developed by Glolarena Technologies, the tech firm hired by BIE for digital evaluation of exam-related work. The report mentions bubbling error in the OMR sheet had prevented awarding correct marks to students.

According to reports, VSN Raju, CEO of the firm has alleged that the issue was blown out of proportion. He has termed such mistakes as common and has alleged that the issue has been politicised this year. He asserted that the mistakes are due to human error and not because of the software.

After threatening TV anchor, Moon Moon Sen says ‘this much violence happens everywhere’ when asked about poll violence in Bengal

After threatening TV anchor, Moon Moon Sen says ‘this much violence happens everywhere’ when asked about poll violence in Bengal

West Bengal’s Asansol district was marred with severe violence today, as it went to vote in the 4th phase of Lok Sabha elections. Rampant rigging has been reported from West Bengal with TMC leaders accompanying voters in the voting booth. Massive violence was also reported from Asansol.

On being asked to comment on the violence that preceded in her constituency, TMC leader and candidate from Asansol, Moon Moon Sen, had earlier in the day, advertised her insensitivity and boorishness by saying that she was unaware of the violence as she got up very late because she got her bed tea late.

As if that arrogance was not enough for the day, in an interview with TV9 Bharatvarsh, she is seen throwing her weight around at the anchor for merely doing his job.


The consultant editor of TV9 Bharatvarsh, Ajit Anjum, asked the actor turned politician in the interview about her take on the allegations made at TMC workers for resorting to hooliganism, booth capturing, bombing, using unfair means when elections are conducted in West Bengal. He asked her that since the state is being run by her party (TMC), is it not unfair that the TMC workers are having recourse to such unlawfulness?

Moon Moon Sen who apparently took these allegations personally, lost her cool and started threatening the TV Anchor. She said she would file a defamation case against the channel and sue the anchor.

Though Ajit clears his stance, saying that he did not make any personal comment and that his question was regarding her party and not her in particular, miffed Sen refused to hear him out and threw the microphone.

In an ugly display of arrogance, she is heard saying that “Very big journalists come to me, they do not talk to me like this. They come from England also and I have spoken to them”. If they are from BJP (hinting that the channel is pro-BJP), ask them to go to them and not come to me”, she is heard saying.

However, the reason behind Moon Moon Sen’s outrage still remains unclear, as the anchor is not heard asking her anything inappropriate and making any personal comments.

Then, Moon Moon Sen displayed her insensitivity yet again. ANI reported that Moon Moon Sen, when asked about the violence in Asansol had said that little bit of violence was normal and that the violence is much less than earlier. She also said that she has not “sat down with her seniors” and would know about the violence only when she does.


Earlier in the day, she had displayed similar nonchalance and insensitivity, by saying that because she was served her bed-tea late, she woke up late and hence, is not aware of the election violence that has been unleashed by TMC goons in her own constituency. She was seen taking TMC’ side, saying that violence is “all over India” and “not just in Bengal”. On being asked, whether she has visited the victims of the riots that have marred Asansol, she said she hasn’t because she has been “extremely busy”.

Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress has fielded this arrogant film actress in Asansol. She has been pitted against BJP’ playback singer-turned-politician Babul Supriyo, whose car was vandalised in the massive violence in Asansol today.

“Nahi hai jo Mohammad ka, humara ho nahi sakta”: Here is why Congress leader Pramod Krishnam has no right to call himself ‘Acharya’

“Nahi hai jo Mohammad ka, humara ho nahi sakta”: Here is why Congress leader Pramod Krishnam has no right to call himself ‘Acharya’

Congress has been indulging in constant monkey balancing since the rise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the saffron party, BJP. With Muslims being the core vote-bank of Congress, Rahul Gandhi went on a temple run during Gujarat assembly elections to appease Hindus. However, the shift from that stance to allying with Islamists in Kerala, speaking the language of Naxals and contesting from Wayanad, Kerala because the constituency has a majority Muslim population, Congress has gone back to appeasing the Muslims.

The Congress’ candidate from Lucknow, “Acharya” Pramod Krishnam perhaps personifies the shameless lies, monkey balancing and deception that the Congress party now stands for. While Pramod Krishnam pretends to be a Hindu saint, his track record certainly proves otherwise and also stands as a testament to the fact that he has no right to call himself an “Acharya” and by indulging this lie, Congress is deceiving the people of India.

Pramod Krishnam, who runs Kalki foundation and the Peethadheswar of Sambhal Peeth has been listed as one of the ‘fake babas’ of the country by All India Akhara Parishad. The list has also the name of the Chakrapani Maharaj, another associate of Pramod Krishnam.

Pramod Krishnam has been associated with Congress earlier as well. He was fielded as a candidate by the Congress party in 2014 Lok Sabha elections from Sambhal Lok Sabha constituency.

In June 2017, while addressing an event, ‘Acharya’ Pramod had made a shocking communal statement and had said that “people who are not followers of Prophet Mohammad cannot be together with us”. Interestingly, these videos have become viral in the run-up to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh after it was shared by ABP journalist Vikas Bhaduria. The communally provocative statements allegedly made by Pramod Krishna really signifies that Pramod Krishnam claim of being an ‘Acharya’ is untrue.


While Hindu saints are inclusive and accord respect to all faiths and religions, for a Hindu saint to say that “those who don’t believe in Prophet Mohammad cannot be acceptable to us” is unfathomable. Being inclusive and bowing to one true God according to Islam is not the same and not Hindu saint would denounce his faith in the manner Pramod Krishnam does.

Pramod Krishnam is also known for his severe Muslim appeasement. Claiming to be an ardent follower of Hazrat Ali, son-in-law of Prophet Mohammad, Krishnam has also attempted to polarise the elections by seeking votes on the basis of religion. As Congress party has fielded him as a candidate from Lucknow Lok Sabha constituency, Pramod Krishnam has been busy with appeasing Shia community voters of the Lucknow by making recitations of songs and prayers on Hazrat Ali during his campaigning.

On April 28, Pramod Krishnam speaking to Kabil Sibal backed Tiranga TV went on to question the Narendra Modi government for promulgating an ordinance three times on the issue of Triple Talaq and not once on Ram Mandir. By deliberately ignoring that Triple Talaq has been declared illegal by the Supreme Court and Ram Mandir issue still being sub-judice, Pramod Krishna resorted to propaganda by falsely comparing a religious issue with a socio-gender issue of Triple Talaq.

Pramod Krishnam has been fielded by the Congress party to take on Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh from Lucknow. The SP-BSP-RLD ‘Mahagathbandhan’ has fielded Poonam Sinha, the wife of actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha.

SP changes Varanasi candidate, BSF jawan sacked for indiscipline to fight PM Modi

SP changes Varanasi candidate, BSF jawan sacked for indiscipline to fight PM Modi

The Samajwadi Party on Monday changed its candidate from Varanasi, giving the ticket to sacked BSF jawan Tej Bahadur Singh. In a surprising move, Singh, who was dismissed for indiscipline, will be battling it out with PM Modi for the prestigious seat of Varanasi. Singh had grabbed headlines by posting a video online complaining about the food quality served to BSF jawans.


Earlier, Shalini Yadav, who had unsuccessfully contested the 2017 Mayoral elections in Varanasi was declared as the Mahagathbandhan candidate from the constituency. Shalini Yadav is the daughter-in-law of Shyam Lal Yadav, a former Congress Rajya Sabha member.

The move comes on the heels of the Congress party’s declaration of Ajay Rai’s candidature for the Varanasi seat. In 2014, Ajay Rai came third on the seat behind Narendra Modi and Arvind Kejriwal by securing 75000 votes. Belonging to Bhumihar caste, Ajay Rai holds considerable heft in the eastern Uttar Pradesh.

Tej Bahadur Yadav was dismissed from the BSF by a Summary Security Force Court in July 2018. The charges against him included making spurious allegations on social media and carrying two mobile phones while on operational duty. Though he contested the dismissal in court, his videos drew constant flak from the Armed Forces, prompting the jawan to request PM Modi’s intervention in the matter. Several reports suggested that Yadav was preparing to contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from Varanasi constituency against the PM.

Digvijay’s rare moment of honesty: Says no Congress leader after Nehru read or wrote, party depends on Left for ideas

Senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh who seems to have become another name for controversy has again made a controversial statement, targeting the leaders of his own party this time.

Mocking all the leaders of the Congress, Singh said that after Jawaharlal Nehru,  Congress did not pay much attention to reading and writing. “Pandit Nehru Ji k baad to Congress ne likhne padhne pe bahut jyada dhyan nahi diya. Lekin aaj bhi soch, vichar, likhne, padhne me hum prerna lete hain CPI, CPM, CPIML se bhi (After Pandit Nehru, Congress party did not pay much attention to reading and writing. In fact, we take inspiration for our thoughts from parties like CPI, CPM, and even CPIML)”, said Singh.

As per reports, Digvijay Singh was addressing a meeting in the office of the Communist Party of India when he made the statement.

Digvijay Singh has also extended support to sedition accused Kanhaiya Kumar who is fielded by the Left Parties from Begusarai Lok Sabha constituency. He said that the Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) committed a huge mistake in not giving the Begusarai seat to the CPI.


He told that Kanhaiya would be going to Bhopal on and 8th and 9th May for campaigning. Singh is contesting from Bhopal Lok Sabha seat against Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur of BJP.
