Rahul Gandhi Attacks the Modi Government on the Real State Bill, Calls it a Pro-builder Initiative

Rahul Gandhi has today accused the Modi government of making the provisions of Real Estate Regulatory Authority Bill pro-builder, which was supposed to be pro-buyers.

The Congress Vice-President today met several NCR homebuyers. Mr. Gandhi who has been criticizing the government over the Land Bill and the poor condition of farmers in the country, has stated that it is not just the farmers and tribal of the country who are suffering, but the well-being of the middle class is also being compromised in order to benefit the rich.    

He said that he would try his utmost to save the rights of the homebuyers, who are left in a quandary because of lack of transparency in the system. 

"They are told that you will get the flat on a particular day but for years they don't get the flat. They are told the super duper area of the flat would be so much but what is delivered is different," Gandhi said.

Gandhi was of the opinion that the Modi government has diluted the Bill, which the UPA government brought to regulate the real state sector.

"Main dilution is that there was clear transparency. The carpet area that you sign is what would be given. They have diluted and from pro-buyer, made it pro-builder," he said.

He further attacked the government, “What it is (the government) doing against farmers and tribal, it is also doing against the middle class."

Rahul Gandhi told the media that he would stand with the middle-class, as he is standing with the farmers and the tribal.

Kiran Bedi Is BJP’s CM Candidate In Delhi

Bharatiya Janata Party has formally nominated Kiran Bedi as its CM candidate in the Delhi Assembly Elections. Following the party's chief election committee meeting yesterday, the party chief Amit told the media, "BJP will contest polls under the leadership of Kiran Bedi in New Delhi. She will contest from Krishna Nagar constituency. The party leadership has chosen her as the chief ministerial candidate for the Delhi Assembly election."  

Ms Bedi, in return, told the reporters, "I would like to thank party leadership for showing confidence in me."  Appreciating Bedi's character, Mr Shah said, "Bedi's whole life has been around the people of Delhi. She has dedicated her life to fight against crime and corruption. During her days in the Delhi Police, she gained much trust among people; she has also been a well-known name in social work."

She will fight from Krishna Nagar, a BJP stronghold in the capital city. Sources say that it was Bedi who asked the party to field her from Krishna Nagar as she did not want a direct fight with Arvind Kejriwal from New Delhi constituency.

After her CM candidature was announced, the AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal challenged her for a political debate that would be telecasted on TV and viewed by all. He challenge cam in form of a Tweet. Bedi refuted his challenge by twitting - Arvind only believes in debating and we will debate on the floor of the house.

.@thekiranbedi congrats 4 being nominated as BJP's CM candidate. I invite u 4 a public debate moderated by neutral person n telecast by all
— Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) January 20, 2015

Kiran Bedi's induction in  the BJP on 15 January gave rise to the rounds of conjecturing that she will be the CM candidate for BJP in the coming Delhi Assembly polls.    

The elections will be held on 7 February and the results will come out on the 10th of the same month.

Former Minister and Senior Congress Leader Krishna Tirath Joins BJP

Former Minister and Senior Congress Leader Krishna Tirath Joins BJP

Senior Congress leader and former women and child development minister in the Manmohan Singh government, Krishna Tirath has formally joined the BJP. The senior leader met the BJP president Amit Shah this morning and took the decision that has taken the Congress party as a surprise.

Tirath was one of the most distinguished faces of the Congress in Delhi.  After the conclusion of her meeting with Mr Shah, she said, "This is about ideology. I want to serve people and I have come here with that mindset and that ideology only."

Announcement of Tirath's induction into the BJP came at the same time when Ajay Maken, Congress' election in charge in Delhi, was holding a press conference. Mr Maken accepted that he had just been informed of such development. He said, "It shows the desperation of the BJP, they have to import leaders from other parties because they have no faith in their own leaders."   

Sources say that the Congress leaders, in order to duck the massive embarrassment, are saying that Ms Tirath made this hasty decision in the light of the party denying her a ticket in the coming assembly elections in the capital city.  She contested the general elections last year on a Congress ticket from Delhi and lost to BJP's Udit Raj. 

Ms Krishan Tirath, 59, is the third prominent female leader to join the BJP bandwagon in the last few days; two other leaders being Kiran Bedi and Shazia Ilmi. 

Being a Dalit leader of repute, her exit from Congress is considered to be a big set-back for the party as it is trying to rebuild itself in the capital.

After ruling Delhi for 15 years, the Congress party was almost wiped out in the last assembly elections and was replaced Aam Admi Party as the second most powerful political organization in the city after BJP.  However, due to no party getting a clear-cut majority, fresh elections have been announced. Polling will be done on 7 February, and the results will come out on 10th of the same month.
