Bengaluru Blast: BJP and Trinamool Fight Over “Safe Haven For Terrorists” Barb Mamata Banerjee, Chief Minister of Bengal (File).

Kolkata: Ahead of the election, the state’s ruling Trinamool Congress and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party are expected to engage in a political slugfest following the arrest of two major suspects in the Rameshwaram Cafe bomb case, which was traced from Bengaluru to Bengal’s East Midnapore district.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee responded angrily to criticism that her administration had turned the state into a “safe haven for terrorists” during an election rally in Dinhata, Cooch Behar, Bengal. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his BJP have been the target of much criticism from Ms. Banerjee, who has stated outspokenly that the men who were arrested are not from Bengal; rather, they were hiding out here. They were taken into custody.

“How safe is Uttar Pradesh? Is safety a priority in Rajasthan? “Is Bihar secure?” she posed to the assembly.

In retaliation for the BJP’s attacks, senior Trinamool leader Kunal Ghosh said that the National Investigation Agency, or NIA, “had to accept active cooperation of state police” and made the arrest.

“Their press release mentions cooperation of state police in arrests they made,” he said.

Mussavir Hussain Shazeb and Abdul Matheen Taha, who were detained this morning, are thought to be important conspirators; Taha is said to have taken care of the logistics while Shazeb put the device. They were located in the Purba Medinipur district of Kolkata, 180 kilometers away, in the little city of Kanthi, often known as Contai.

PM Modi stated that there will be no need to worry about terrorism, strikes, stone-throwing, or cross-border gunfire during the next Lok Sabha elections in Jammu & Kashmir.

“After decades, election-related concerns such as terrorism, separatism, stone-pelting, strikes, and cross-border terrorism are no longer present in this year’s election. The security situation for the pilgrimages to Vaishno Devi and Amarnath used to be a problem, but it has completely altered now.

Addressing the Udhampur rally, PM Modi criticized those on bail for visiting convicted criminals’ homes, cooking mutton during Sawan, and sharing videos, comparing their actions to Mughal aggression towards temples.

“A person who has been sentenced by the court and who is on bail visits the house of such a criminal and enjoys cooking mutton in the month of Sawan and they make a video of it to tease the people of the country. The law does not stop anyone from eating anything but the intentions of these people are something else. When the Mughals attacked here, they were not satisfied until they demolished the temples. So just like Mughals, they want to tease the people of the country by showing the video in the month of Sawan…,” PM Modi said.

PM Narendra Modi interview: “Opposition believes NDA government will return”

According to PM Narendra Modi, the opposition will undoubtedly lose the general elections.

In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times’ sister journal Hindustan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a scathing jab at the Opposition, claiming that their leaders are not running for office in the Lok Sabha elections because they think the NDA government will win back control.

PM Modi said the Opposition is certain of its defeat in the general elections.

“It is not the election, but the Opposition camp that is dull because of their certain defeat. Even the Opposition believes that the NDA government will return to power, which is why even several opposition leaders are shying away from poll campaigns… Many people have started blaming EVMs (electronic voting machines) even before the polls have begun,” he said.

Amid the Opposition’s accusation that the Centre has been misusing agencies to target political opponents, PM Modi vowed that action against those who steal people’s money will not end.

“Whatever be the level of corruption, it impacts the people of the country… action against such people, who steal the money meant for the welfare of the people of this country, will not end,” he said.

PM Modi rejected the Opposition’s charge of misuse of agencies. He said out of all cases being probed by the Enforcement Directorate, only 3 percent were linked to those in politics.
PM Modi said those who benefit from corruption cry foul.

Just 3% of the corruption cases that the Enforcement Directorate is looking into involve political figures. Officials and criminals are connected to the remaining 97% of incidents. He remarked, “Those who are complaining and painting the false picture are the ones who find benefits in a corrupt system.
“The stories you’ve heard, according to which our target is solely political corruption, are being spread by individuals who work for investigative agencies,” he continued.

According to PM Modi, the Enforcement Directorate prosecuted dishonest officials and sequestered assets valued at thousands of crores.

“Before 2014, ED attached assets worth only ₹5,000 crores, whereas, in the last 10 years, that amount has increased to more than ₹1 lakh crore. Before 2014, ED had seized only ₹34 lakh in cash, while under our government it has seized more than ₹2,200 crore in cash. Imagine, if this money was invested in welfare schemes for the poor, how many people would have benefited, and how many opportunities could have been created for the youth? So many new infrastructure projects could have been launched,” he said.

PM Modi also attacked the Congress party, saying they strengthened “their family” when they had full majority governments at the Centre. He said the BJP government has been strengthening the country.

“People have got the opportunity to compare the BJP model and the Congress model for the first time. The Congress ruled the country with a full majority for 5-6 decades. In comparison, the BJP has served with absolute majority for only one decade. When they had full majority governments, all they did was strengthen their family. Today, when we have a majority government, our priority is to strengthen the country — villages, the poor, our farmers, and the middle-class society,” he said.

Voting for the seven-phased Lok Sabha elections will begin on April 19. The counting of votes will take place on June 4.

On March 15, Kavitha was arrested in Hyderabad by the Enforcement Division on charges of money laundering, and she was placed under judicial custody at Tihar Jail.

After being detained in Hyderabad on March 15 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on suspicion of money laundering, Ms. Kavitha was placed under judicial custody and sent to Tihar Jail. A special court gave the CBI permission to arrest her on April 10.

It has been alleged that Ms. Kavitha was part of a “South Group’ which paid ₹100 crore in advance as “kickbacks” through the then Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) communication and media in-charge Vijay Nair, who represented some AAP leaders.

According to the probe agencies, she and other members of the group had conspired with the top AAP leaders, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and the then Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, to get favors in the formulation and implementation of the excise policy.

The CBI registered the case on August 17, 2022, against Mr. Sisodia and 14 others on a reference from the Union Home Ministry. It was alleged that the excise policy was tweaked to extend undue favors to license holders; the license fee was waived or reduced; and the L-1 (wholesaler) license was extended without the competent authority’s clearance.

The policy extended an extraordinarily high-profit margin of 12% for wholesalers and almost 185% profit margin for retailers.
