BJP shocked over probe into Modi’s snoopgate

May 3, 2014
Hyderabad, May 3: Attacking Congress over the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry to probe the 'snoopgate' issue allegedly involving Narendra Modi, the BJP today said the next government will review all the committees appointed post announcement of the Lok Sabha elections.

snoop"All committees appointed after the announcement of elections will be reviewed and the government of the day coming into office will have every right to review the decisions," senior BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu told reporters here.

Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde had yesterday said that a judge will be appointed to conduct probe into Gujarat 'snoopgate' before counting of votes in Lok Sabha election.

"I want to assure the people..these steps of the Congress party will boomerang," the Rajya Sabha member and former BJP national president said.

Asked if such committees will be wound up, he said "..if necessary, yes. Those with ulterior motives will have to go."

"They (Congress) are shameless…They are unable to resolve the problems faced by the country and suddenly now at the last moment they have got frustrated and disappointed and are setting up commissions only with a view to defame (BJP)…but it will heavily cost the Congress and it will boomerang on them."

"Once our (NDA) government will come into power whatever decisions were taken post announcement of the elections will be reviewed," Naidu added.

The UPA government had declared that a judicial commission to probe 'snoopgate' allegedly involving BJP's Prime Ministerial nominee will be in place before the Lok Sabha poll process comes to an end on May 16.

Reacting on the violence in Assam, he demanded explanation from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi on the matter. "Why the PM is silent when the situation is violent?"

In the wake of a massive controversy over Narendra Modi's interview to Doordarshan, Naidu alleged, "DD has been misused. Prasar Bharati has become the Prachar Bharati of Congress. There has been black-out of Narendra Modi and projection of Congress."

"Prasar Bharati CEO Jawhar Sircar has written to the Board saying Prasar Bharati should be given more autonomy. We have information that clear cut political instructions were given to Prasar Bharati that Narendra Modi should be blocked and all focus should be on Rahul and Sonia Gandhi," Naidu claimed.

He further demanded the government if it was sincere then it should alongwith DD publish the details of the time allotted to each political party and leaders (coverage on DD) and bring out a white paper on the same.

Reacting to another query on Congress leader Digvijay Singh's relationship with a woman journalist, Naidu said, "He is busy with something else and I wish him best of luck."

New Delhi, Mar 29: The battle against coronavirus is a tough one and it required harsh decisions to keep India safe, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his first Mann Ki Baat after the 21-day lockdown was imposed in the wake of COVID-19 outbreak.
"The battle against COVID-19 is a tough one and it did require such harsh decisions. It is important to keep the people of India safe. A disease must be dealt with at the very beginning as delay makes it incurable," said Prime Minister Modi.
He said that as the coronavirus has put the entire world in lockdown, so "India is doing the same."
"It is a challenge before everyone, science and knowledge, poor and rich, powerful and weak. It is neither restricted to a nation nor region or particular weather. This virus is bent upon killing human beings, eliminating them. Hence all of us, the entire humanity, must unite and resolve to eliminate it," he added.
Addressing the 63rd edition of his monthly radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat', the Prime Minister had sought forgiveness from all countrymen, and especially the poor, for the nationwide lockdown in the country in the view of the novel coronavirus.
During his address to the nation on March 24, the Prime Minister had announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of the deadly virus.

New Delhi, Feb 5: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday announced that the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra, set up by the government for construction of a temple in Ayodhya, will have 15 trustees and one of them will be from the Dalit community.

The statement comes a little over an hour after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced in Lok Sabha about the constitution of the trust.

"There will be 15 trustees in the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust out of which one trustee will always be from the Dalit society," he tweeted.

Shah congratulated Modi "for such an unprecedented decision" that strengthens social harmony.

The home minister said the trust will be independent to take every decision related to the temple and 67 acres of land will be transferred to it.

"I fully believe that the waiting of millions of people for centuries will be over soon and they will be able to pay obeisance to Lord Shri Ram in his grand temple at his birthplace," he said.
