Consequently, we request the EC to make a move against Prime Minister Narendra Modi by banning him from talking at open energizes," the Uttar Pradesh Congress said in a letter to the Election Commission on Sunday.

A high-positioning source in the Election Commission disclosed to NDTV that on five events, one of the three race officials had contradicted with the lion's share view to let PM Modi and Amit Shah free for their remarks, which the Congress affirmed were infringement of the Model Code of Conduct.

A harsh fight between the Congress and the BJP is seething over the Prime Minister's remarks on Rajiv Gandhi, who was killed by fear mongers in 1991, with the Congress calling attention to that the comments were gone for discoloring the picture of the previous PM in the Bofors case.

"Your dad was named 'Mr Clean' by his retainers, yet his life finished as bhrashtachari number 1 (degenerate number 1)," PM Modi had said at a rally in Uttar Pradesh.

The reference was to debasement claims in the buy of Bofors mounted guns during the 1980s against the Congress government driven by Rajiv Gandhi. Rajiv Gandhi had got a perfect chit from the court in the Bofors case. The Delhi High Court said there was no proof that he taken kickbacks and inevitably rejected all charges against the blamed people in the politically touchy case.

Rahul," read the tweet from the Congress boss, who stood out as truly newsworthy a year ago by embracing the Prime Minister on the floor of parliament." NEATHERLAND CLOUD SERVER

Rescue Nehru from his descendants, writes Ramachandra Guha

In his first speech after being sworn in as our new President, Ram Nath Kovind praised Patel, Ambedkar, Gandhi, and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, but did not take the name of Jawaharlal Nehru. This provoked outrage in Congress circles, with the senior party leader Ghulam Nabi Azad terming it ‘unfortunate’ and ‘partisan’ that the President ‘did not mention Nehru who was the first prime minister of India and the architect of modern India. He was not just one of the PMs but the first PM of India who was known around the world for his vision’.

Whether one admires or dislikes him, or indeed has ambivalent feelings about him, it is indisputable that Jawaharlal Nehru had a colossal impact on independent India. I have spoken earlier of his contributions to nurturing democracy, pluralism, and science. Set against these major achievements are some notable failures, such as his indifference to private enterprise and to military preparedness, and his lack of emphasis on primary education.

In an essay in my book Patriots and Partisans I have provided an interim assessment of Nehru’s place in our history, juxtaposing his successes against his failures. I hope that a younger scholar—born, unlike me, well after Nehru’s death—will one day write a far more substantial assessment of the man, his times, and his legacy, based on solid work in the archives. But for such a book to merit the objective, dispassionate, reception it deserves, the Nehru-Gandhi family must retire from politics. It is overwhelmingly likely that the family—singly or collectively—cannot resurrect or revive the Congress Party. And it is absolutely certain that so long as his descendants remain in public life, nothing can resurrect or revive the reputation of Jawaharlal Nehru.

Cong has lost confidence of people in Uttarakhand: BJP

With its hopes of wresting power in Uttarakhand dashed, BJP today lashed out Congress and Rahul Gandhi, saying he should not give sermons as his party has "murdered" democracy by "paying off" legislators and has "lost" the confidence of the people of the state. "Congress, which is a murderer of democracy, is undemocratic and is a champion of corruption, should not give sermons to BJP on democracy. Congress has lost the confidence of people of Uttarakhand by purchasing the majority in the state assembly," BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma alleged.

He said Congress has not just lost its MLAs, but also the confidence of the people of the state, who will give a "befitting" reply to it in the next assembly elections slated a few months away.

"The people will give a befitting reply to Congress for the insult heaped on them," he told reporters.

Sharma claimed the constitutional crisis in Uttarakhand was created because of Congress' "anti-people" policies and due to "anger" of its leaders against the party's central leadership.

Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi today termed Rawat's reinstatement as a victory of democracy and voiced hoped that the Prime Minister will "learn the lesson".

"They (BJP) did their worst. We did our best. Democracy won in Uttarakhand.

"Hope the PM learns the lesson that people of India and institutions built by our founding fathers will not tolerate murder of democracy," Rahul said on Twitter.

Attacking Rahul Gandhi, the BJP leader said, "Congress leadership does not meet its own leaders and Chief Ministers, but spends time with anti-national elements who raise anti-India slogans."

Sharma also questioned Rahul for his "silence" on the sting videos purportedly showing Harish Rawat and said "it was shameful" as Congress has "looted" the state.

The BJP leader also accused Rawat of having "sold out Dev Bhoomi" for saving his own chair in the state and for "paying off" lakhs and crores to legislators. "Congress is celebrating today as it is hoping to clean the muck of corruption that it is embroiled in.

"The sting videos have shown how Harish Rawat was paying his MLAs to save his own chair, which made it clear that he trying to sell Uttarakhand," he alleged.

Rawat yesterday won the trust vote in the Assembly and the Supreme Court today put its stamp on it, clearing the decks for his reinstatement.
It was a setback for BJP which had earlier claimed that Rawat would lose the trust vote and it will form government in the state. SKC RT
