Congress is making all efforts to unite various political parties in the country to mount a united fight against Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led BJP in the days to come, party president Mallikarjun Kharge said on Sunday. He also urged the people to root out the BJP in Karnataka during Assembly polls, likely by May, and install a Congress government that will work for all sections of the people and for development of the state.

We are trying to unite various parties to put a united fight against the BJP," Mr Kharge said. Speaking at a party meeting , he said  PM Modi did not become Prime Minister with 51 per cent vote share as the BJP got just 37 per cent in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. "Let PM Modi say what he has done to our state?" Mr Kharge said while hitting out at the government on the issues of unemployment and price ris...

Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday said attempts were being made to tell the world that the Indian judiciary and the democracy were in crisis. Inaugurating a conference of the Centre's counsels in the Eastern states, Mr Rijiju said the wisdom of judges was beyond public scrutiny. "Indian judiciary cannot be questioned, especially the wisdom of judges cannot be put into public scrutiny," he said. "At times, calibrated attempts are being made from both inside and outside the country to tell the world that the Indian judiciary is in crisis. A message is being sent to the world that Indian democracy is in crisis. It is a deliberate attempt by some groups to malign the image of the country," he added. No campaign with ulterior motives can succeed in defaming India and its democratic setup, Mr Rijiju said. The US may stake claim to be the oldest democracy, but India truly is the "mother of democracy", he said. Mr Rijiju's comments came aft...

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday lauded the Indore Municipal Corporation for starting an 'ambulance' service for trees.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi rightly says that Indore marches ahead of time," Chief Minister Chouhan told reporters here. "Indore has come up with yet another innovation....
