Forget 50,000 Dalits, BJP's Yatra fails to attract 500; Amit Shah escapes

Agra, Aug 1: The Uttar Pradesh unit of Bharatiya Janata Party is in shock after its much hyped Dhamma Chetna Yatra failed to draw even 500 Dalit supporters in the city of Agra. In fact, the saffron party had expected 50,000 supporters to welcome the Yatra which entered the city on Sunday.

amit-shahThe welcome function, which was earlier scheduled to be held at one of city's the biggest grounds, was shifted to Saraswati Shishu Mandir after the party realised that the number of participants including outsiders will not exceed 400.

BJP supremo escapes

This forced BJP chief Amit Shah, who was earlier scheduled to address the event, to cancel his plan. Mr Shah's rally was aimed at targeting the OBCs and Dalits by focusing on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's messages for the community and his views on Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar.

While local BJP leaders claim that the "inclement weather" has forced them to cancel Mr Shah's rally, insiders admit that the real reason behind it is the lacklustre response it received from the Dalit community and also the looming threat of protests against the chetna yatra in the city. The yatra had earlier faced opposition on its arrival in Hathras, Aligarh and Mathura.

Street beggars invited to fill the hall!

Even after shifting the venue, the BJP members failed to fill the hall of the small school located in the Agra's Kamla Nagar area.

“It was quite shocking that most people in the hall were either monks or BJP workers. They even called street children and beggars to the venue as the older audience wasn't available,” said an eyewitness, who stays in Kamla Nagar and attended the event.

While party workers were busy in clicking selfies, the monks present were either asleep or least interested in what the political leaders had to say.

Bengaluru, Jul 19: A viral video claiming to show crowded condition of a hospital treating COVID-19 patients in the city was found to be false with police on Sunday arresting a person for allegedly circulating it on social media.

Police said such videos have the potential to create panic and asked people to refrain from spreading them.

The arrest was made within hours of the police announcing registration of a case in connection with the video that showed a crowd of people wearing masks at an "outpatient ward" of a hospital, falsely identified as Victoria Hospital, a major dedicated COVID facility here.

The video went viral on social media.

"City Crime Branch swiftly identified and arrested this person who has been circulating false videos of panic in Victoria Hospital, Bangalore. Kudos to all doctors and medical professionals who are doing their best. False news busted," Bengaluru Police Commissioner Bhaskar Rao tweeted.

Police said such videos have the potential to create panic in society and asked people to refrain from it.

"Covid False video about conditions of hospitals in Bangalore circulated on social media. Case registered in Cybercrime PS. While government, society at large fighting the pandemic, some are creating/forwarding messages/videos which has potential to create panic in society. Refrain from it," Joint Commissioner of Police, Crime, Sandeep Patil tweeted.

The video showed scores of people wearing masks gathered in a small space allegedly at an Out-Patient Department in a hospital, and a person filming it, claiming to be a doctor expressing concern that it was a threat to all medical staff, including the patients.

Official sources said the video was reportedly from a hospital in one of the northern states and not from Victoria Hospital.
