BJP to fight Haryana Assembly polls alone

August 28, 2014

New Delhi, Aug 28: BJP today accused Haryana Janhit Congress leader Kuldeep Bishnoi, whose party today snapped their alliance, of acting as the B-team of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and announced that it will fight the Haryana Assembly elections on its own.shahnawaz hussain

BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain mocked Bishnoi's "delusion" of becoming the state's chief minister and derided him as "a general without an army". People of Haryana, he said, have decided to elect a BJP government.

"BJP will fight election on its own... and will form government after getting people's mandate. People have made it clear that they want a BJP government in the state," he said in a press conference soon after Bishnoi's announcement of severing ties with BJP.

BJP had fought eight and HJC two seats in Lok Sabha elections as alliance partners and while BJP won seven seats HJC lost both of them. Both parties have had an uneasy run since then as BJP wanted to give fewer seats to HJC in assembly polls than what was decided earlier, citing changed ground realities.

"We wanted him (Bishnoi) to understand ground realities. Any understanding is rooted in the facts on ground. He has left us as B-team of Congress. He had six MLAs and all of them except him joined Congress. He is a general without an army. We have never betrayed any ally," he said.

Hussain said relations between both parties had soured during Lok Sabha polls itself when BJP rejected Bishnoi's proposal to field Venod Sharma, a close aide of Hooda who has left Congress.

BJP also turned down the proposal to make Bishnoi's controversial elder borther Chandra Mohan alias Chand Mohammad the alliance candidate.

"He did not have candidates for two Lok Sabha seats. Where would he get people to fight Assembly polls? And he has delusion of becoming chief minister," he said.

Bishnoi had said they tried their level best to keep the alliance working and made sincere efforts.

"BJP is not ready to stick to agreed alliance principles," Bishnoi, younger son of late chief minister Bhajan Lal, had said, adding "betrayal is in the nature of BJP".

New Delhi, Apr 27: A private hospital here claimed that a coronavirus patient, who was administered plasma therapy for the first time in the facility, was discharged on Sunday after being completely cured.

The 49-year-old man had tested positive for COVID-19 on April 4 and was admitted to Max Hospital, Saket, it said in a statement.

As his condition deteriorated, he was put on ventilator support on April 8, the hospital added.

When the patient showed no signs of improvement, his family requested for administration of plasma therapy on compassionate grounds, it said, adding that the family arranged a donor for extracting plasma.

The patient was administered fresh plasma as a treatment modality as a side-line to standard treatment protocols on the night of April 14, the statement said.

Subsequently, the patient showed improvement and by the fourth day, was weaned off ventilator support and continued on supplementary oxygen. He was shifted to a room with round-the-clock monitoring on Monday after testing negative twice within 24 hours, it said.

He has now fully recovered and was discharged, the hospital said, adding that he will stay at home for another two weeks.

Group medical director of Max Healthcare and senior director of the Institute of Internal Medicine Dr Sandeep Budhiraja said, "We can say that plasma therapy could have worked as a catalyst in speeding up his recovery. We cannot attribute 100 per cent recovery to plasma therapy only, as there are multiple factors which carved his path to recovery."

New Delhi, May 22: Reserve Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das on Friday extended the moratorium on payment of loans by another three months till August to provide much-needed relief to borrowers whose income has been hit due to the coronavirus crisis.

In March, the central bank had allowed a three-month moratorium on payment of all term loans due between March 1, 2020, and May 31, 2020.

Accordingly, the repayment schedule and all subsequent due dates, as also the tenor for such loans, were shifted across the board by three months.

As a result of this moratorium, individuals’ EMI repayments of loans taken were not deducted from their bank accounts, providing much-needed liquidity.

The EMI payments will restart only once the moratorium time period expires on August 31.
