The Election Commission has asked the Congress government in Karnataka to stop publishing advertisements in newspapers in poll-bound Telangana.

EC asks Cong's Karnataka govt to stop ads in poll-bound Telangana

The Election Commission has asked the Congress government in Karnataka to stop publishing advertisements in newspapers in poll-bound Telangana.

The Election Commission on Monday asked the Congress government in Karnataka to stop publishing advertisements about its work in newspapers in poll-bound Telangana and sought an explanation from it for not seeking prior approval as mandated under the poll code.
Earlier in the day, the BJP lodged a complaint with the Commission in the matter, alleging that the Congress has violated the Representation of the People Act and the Model Code of Conduct with its government in Karnataka putting out advertisements in the Telangana media with an eye on the November 30 assembly polls there. The BRS too approached the poll panel on the issue.
In a letter to the Karnataka chief secretary, the Commission said the state government did not obtain prior approval from it for publishing the advertisements, an action violative of the poll code instructions issued to central and state governments years ago.
It also said the publication of any such advertisement by the government of Karnataka in Telangana should stop with immediate effect till necessary approvals are taken by the state government from the Commission.
It has sought an explanation by 5 pm on Tuesday on the circumstances which led to the violation of the Commission's Model Code of Conduct (MCC) instructions.
In its letter, the Commission also asked why disciplinary action should not be taken against the secretary-in-charge of the Department of Information and Public Relations for violations of procedure as required under MCC instructions.
In the past, the Commission had observed that certain advertisements highlighting welfare schemes and achievements of the central and state governments were being published by some non-poll-going states in the newspapers in poll-bound states.
The Commission had considered this to be a violation of the spirit of the Model Code of Conduct.
In 2013, it had directed that, in future, all such advertisements issued by non-poll-going states during the Model Code of Conduct period would be forwarded to the Commission for clearance before they are sent for publication in newspapers having editions or circulation in the poll-bound states.
Assembly polls are due in Telangana on November 30, with the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), the Congress and the BJP locked in a keen battle.

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar called Mahatma Gandhi 'Mahapurush' while hailing PM Modi as 'Yugpurush'.

Gandhi was 'Mahapurush', Modi is 'Yugpurush', says Vice Prez; Cong calls it 'sycophancy'

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar called Mahatma Gandhi 'Mahapurush' while hailing PM Modi as 'Yugpurush'.

Addressing an event in Mumbai on November 28, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said Mahatma Gandhi was a 'Mahapurush' while Prime Minister Narendra Modi is 'Yugpurush' of this century.
"Mahatma Gandhi freed us from the slavery of the British with the help of truth and non-violence. PM Modi took us forward on the path of progress, which we always wanted to see. Both Mahatma Gandhi and PM Modi reflected the teachings of Shrimad Rajchandra ji," said Dhankhar on the birth anniversary celebrations of Jain mystic and philosopher, Shrimad Rajchandra.
Reacting to the Vice President's remarks, Congress MP and Lok Sabha whip Manickam Tagore took to the social media platform 'X', and said that, "he has crossed all limits of sycophancy."
"If you compare (Modi) with Mahatma, it's shameful, Sir. We all know there is a limit to sycophancy; now you have crossed that limit, and to be in your chair and position and to be a sycophant does not add value, Sir. With respect," the Congress MP wrote while tagging a clip of VP Dhankhar's speech.

JP Nadda replies to Rahul Gandhi's '3 OBCs among 90 bureaucrats' dig at BJP

Nadda further said that the officials in question were appointed before 1992, the year when OBC reservation in services was implemented only after the Supreme Court asked for it in 1992.

BJP president J P Nadda on Thursday came down heavily on the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi for demanding an OBC quota within the reservation for women lawmakers, saying it was the BJP-led NDA that gave the country its first prime minister from the Other Backward Classes.
In an apparent jibe at Rahul Gandhi, Nadda while speaking in Rajya Sabha Jadda said, Congress did not bother about the OBCs while it was ruling the country.
Nadda further said that the officials in question were appointed before 1992, the year when OBC reservation in services was implemented only after the Supreme Court asked for it in 1992.
Mocking Gandhi, Nadda, alleged that the leader also said "a leader will have to become a leader" and that taking help from a tutor is not enough.

Karnataka doctor arrested for 'performing' 900 illegal abortions

The hospital&rsquo;s manager, Meena, and receptionist, Rizma Khan, were arrested earlier this month, police said.

The Bengaluru police have arrested a doctor and his lab technician who allegedly performed around 900 illegal abortions in the last three years, officials said on Monday. Dr Chandan Ballal and his lab technician Nisar allegedly charged around Rs 30,000 for each abortion which they carried out at a hospital in the district headquarters town of Mysuru. Both were taken into custody last week, they said. &nbsp; The hospital&rsquo;s manager, Meena, and receptionist, Rizma Khan, were arrested earlier this month, police said. Police busted the sex-determination and female foeticide racket last month with the arrest of two accused&mdash;Shivalinge Gowda and Nayan Kumar&mdash;in the district headquarters town of Mandya, near Mysuru, when they were taking a pregnant woman for abortion in a car. During questioning, the accused duo revealed a jaggery unit in Mandya, used as an ultrasound scan centre, from where a police team later seized the scan machine, which did not have valid authorisation or other official documents, a police officer said.

An Indian Railways engineer was told to transfer to Delhi 3 days before his scheduled retirement.

‘Sheer madness’: Railway engineer transferred 3 days before retirement

An Indian Railways engineer was asked to report to Delhi for a new posting 3 days before his scheduled retirement.

"Sheer madness," responded a senior engineer to the Railway Board when it ordered his transfer from Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh to Delhi three days before his retirement.
The chief communication engineer from the Bilaspur division of South East Central Railway (SECR) has written to the Railway Board terming his transfer to the Northern Railway (NR) zone three days before his retirement an act of harassment.
According to the transfer order, KP Arya is supposed to join the NR on a higher administrative grade post on November 28, 2023, while his retirement is due on November 30.
"This order seems well in order at the surface, but when seen in the complete perspective of my imminent superannuation within a week on 30th Nov 2023, the madness shines brightly," Arya said in a letter addressed to the Secretary, Railway Board.
He added, "Because this is nothing but sheer madness only to transfer one employee, who has served the IR (Indian Railway) organisation his whole life, in the week of his superannuation so that his superannuation settlement gets disrupted and he gets harassed in the last days in the organisation." Arya told PTI that the SECR zone already had a vacant HAG post, still, the Railway Board decided to transfer him to the NR zone on a similar vacant post.
"I will work only for three days in NR headquarters, New Delhi and retire from the Indian Railways. The Railways will pay me about Rs 3 lakh just as transfer money which is a complete waste of public money," Arya told PTI.
Though this is a promotional transfer, Arya will not get any additional monetary benefit. "My promotion was due about six months ago but it was kept pending. However, as per the government norms, I started getting monetary benefits for that post from the day my promotion was due. So, this promotional transfer is only to harass me." The engineer in his letter alleged, "In the series of harassment being meted out to me, a professionally very very competent, honest and upright officer by a cabal of officials of dubious character &hellip; I found it my duty to expose the concerned Railway Board officials as I have always done."

A temple in UP was "purified" with Gangajal after Samajwadi Party's Muslim MLA Saiyada Khatoon attended an event there.

Members of Hindu outfits and local civic officials sprinkled Gangajal on a temple in Uttar Pradesh's Siddharthnagar and recited Hanuman Chalisa after Samajwadi Party's Muslim MLA Saiyada Khatoon's visit.
