AAP deviated from its stand of fighting corruption: Shiv Sena

Residents of Vandiyur Theerthakadu near Anna Nagar, which falls within the limits of the Madurai Corporation under the Madurai East Assembly constituency represented by Registration Department Minister P Moorthy, have alleged on Thursday that their locality has been deprived of basic amenities such as electricity, drinking water and proper roads for more than four decades.

Counsel for the accused, Arvind Singh, expressed opposition to the police remand. He stated that a weapon had already been recovered in the matter and that the probe was nearing completion, as eyewitnesses had already been recorded.

Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Sunil Jakhar said that in the Punjab Legislative Assembly, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the opposition Congress are creating drama through mutual coordination to divert people's attention from real issues affecting Punjab.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for holding rallies in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, asking him to address the reported shortage of commercial LPG cylinders.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally in Tiruchirappalli sent a resounding message that the "countdown of the evil, corrupt" Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) regime has begun, with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson CR Kesavan claiming the party is determined to free the people from the "living nightmare" under the current government, where law and order has reportedly collapsed.

"We are forming the government in Tamil Nadu, and we have decided to work together to defeat the DMK. PM Modi has given us a clear direction. Double-engine government in Delhi and the NDA government in Tamil Nadu. Together, we will transform Tamil Nadu and will make it a very good state. We will eliminate corruption and the loot of the DMK and the Stalin family," Goyal told reporters in Tiruchirappalli.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched a strong attack on ruling DMK in poll-bound Tamil Nadu and accused it of dynastic politics, "scientific corruption model" and said people have made up their minds for a change in the state.

A representation has been moved before the Chief Justice of the Delhi High Court seeking transfer of a criminal revision petition linked to the excise policy case from the bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma to another appropriate bench.

Piyush Goyal, while talking to the media, said, "NDA is going to sweep the next election, removing the corrupt Stalin government. The people of Tamil Nadu will never accept Udhayanidhi Stalin as their Chief Minister, and this is the contest to save Tamil pride, culture and people from the corrupt practices of the Stalin family."
