Opposition first misled citizens with CAA, now farm laws: BJP MP Rajeev Chandrashekhar

Opposition first misled citizens with CAA, now farm laws: BJP MP Rajeev Chandrashekhar

Report by: Sneha Shah…

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Rajeev Chandrashekhar said that India faced two challenges in past 10 months. 

I would like to give an example of how specifically Karnataka voters have been responding to lies and hypocrisy of the political parties. In the past 10 to 11 months, India has been facing two major challenges; one is COVID-19 and second is destabilisation, lies, hypocrisy and U-turn politics, which started before 2019 and is still going on in the country, Chandrashekhar said. 

In order to mislead the groups of citizens, these political parties have been mixing half-truth with multiple lies, as they did during the introduction of CAA bill and now during the Farm bill, he said.

In May 2019, BJP procured 25 seats out of 28 in Karnataka with 51.38% of the votes. Congress got one seat and JDS got one seat as well.

Gram Panchayats in rural areas of Karnataka also gave a decisive minority in the recent elections, expressing confidence in the policies of BJP and PM Modi. These elections were held when lies were being spread about new farm laws.

Out of this, 55% Gram Panchayats have supported BJP and 53% members have supported BJP.

This simply means that the farmers of Karnataka have given a very direct and clear message that they have full faith in PM Modijis vision, and the schemes run by the government for the benefit of farmers in the last few years, he added.

Thane Municipal Corporation added 25 additional beds separately in the wake of rapidly rising COVID-19 cases.

Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) added 25 additional beds in Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital Kalwa apart from arranging a special ward  dedicated to COVID-19 patients. The total number of active patients in the city stood at 252 while five succumbed to the virus.  Meanwhile, TMC Commissioner Abhijit Bangar said a ‘death audit’ of patients who died of COVID would be conducted. The TMC has ensured it has additional stock of oxygen concentrators, testing kits, medicines, to name a few. Bangar told HT, “Due to the increasing number of Covid patients, it is necessary for everyone to be alert.”

He added, The number of Covid tests should be increased to stay one step ahead of the disease. As a result, the number of patients is likely to increase due to increased testing. However, as per the ‘test, isolate, treat’ protocol for Covid, it becomes necessary to isolate and treat more and more patients. The testing centres will not remain closed even for a single day. At the same time, more arrangements for testing will be made immediately in public places, markets, railway stations, malls.” 

India recorded 3,095 new COVID cases and five deaths in last 24 hours.
