Mamata Banerjee’s latest ‘BJP’ warning on Lok Sabha elections: ‘LPG cylinder price to be ₹2000 if…

Mamata Banerjee said the BJP government didn’t pay the MGNREGA dues.

Mamata Banerjee's

Kolkata: West Bengal chief minister and Trinamool Congress president Mamata Banerjee has warned that the price of cooking gas can rise to ₹2,000 per cylinder if the Bharatiya Janata Party returns to power at the Centre after the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Mamata Banerjee was addressing a gathering in Bengal’s Jhargram district on Thursday.

Mamata Banerjee, a staunch critic of the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claimed the party will force the masses to return to collecting wood for fire.

“If the BJP wins the elections, they may hike the price of a cooking gas cylinder to ₹1,500 or ₹2,000. Then again, we will have to go back to the old practice of collecting wood to light a fire,” she said.

Mamata Banerjee also said that if the Central government doesn’t complete building houses under the Awas Yojana by April-end, the West Bengal government will start constructing them.

Banerjee said the BJP government didn’t pay the MGNREGA dues.

“I asked one youth whether he got the money for the 100 days’ work scheme. He said he got around ₹30,000. This was the amount that the central government had not paid people like him for the last two years. We have paid 59 lakh people their dues,” she added.

BJP vs Trinamool over Shajahan Sheikh

The BJP and the Trinamool Congress are currently locked in a pitched political battle over the arrest of TMC strongman Shajahan Sheikh, the main accused in the Sandeshkhali sexual assault case.

The Trinamool Congress has suspended the controversial politician for six years.

Reacting to the arrest, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose said on Thursday that his arrest is the “beginning of an end”.

“This is the beginning of an end. We have to put an end to the cycle of violence in Bengal. In parts of Bengal, the goons are ruling the roost. This must end, and the gangsters should be put behind bars,” he said.

After his arrest, TMC leader Derek O’Brien dared the BJP to suspend its leaders who have criminal cases against them.

“We have decided to suspend Shajahan Sheikh from the party for 6 years. As always, we walk the talk. We have set examples in the past, and we are doing that today. But we dare the BJP to suspend leaders, who have corruption cases against them and have several criminal cases against them,” he said.

DGCA slaps Air India with ₹30 lakh penalty following 80-year-old passenger’s death at Mumbai airport!

by Leave a Comment

Aviation regulator DGCA slaps ₹30 lakh fine on Air India for wheelchair incident involving 80-year-old passenger at Mumbai airport.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has imposed a financial penalty of ₹30 lakhs on civil airline Air India following a 16 February incident of non-availability of a wheelchair to an 80-year-old passenger who collapsed and died after walking from the aircraft to the airport terminal at Mumbai.

According to reports, an octogenarian Air India passenger had requested for a wheelchair at the Mumbai airport. However, he decided to walk as he was asked to wait due to heavy demand for wheelchair, died after collapsing at the time of immigration process.

The incident happened at the airport on February 12 after the passenger landed in an Air India flight from New York.

“Air India did not inform about any action taken by the airline against the erring employee(s) and the airline also failed to submit any corrective actions taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future,” a DGCA official informed.

Earlier this month, DGCA issued a show cause notice to the carrier, which submitted its response to the watchdog on February 20.

The airline submitted that the elderly passenger wished to walk along with his wife who was on a wheelchair too, rather than wait for another wheelchair.

“An advisory has also been issued to all airlines to ensure that an adequate number of wheelchairs are available for passengers who require assistance during embarking or disembarking from the aircraft during their journey,” DGCA said.

In a statement on Friday, Air India said that due to heavy demand for wheelchair, it had requested the passenger to wait for an airline staff-assisted wheelchair but he opted to walk along with his spouse.

“In an unfortunate incident, one of our guests flying from New York to Mumbai on February 12, fell ill while proceeding to clear immigration with his wife, who was on wheelchair,” the Air India said.

As advised by the airport doctor attending to him after taking ill, the airline said the passenger was immediately rushed to the hospital, where he was declared to have passed away.

According to Air India, it is in constant touch with the family members of the bereaved, extending necessary assistance, and added that it has a clearly laid down policy to offer wheelchair assistance to all passengers who pre-book the same.

Meanwhile, the Mumbai airport saw fewer delays in flight arrivals following recent measures to resolve congestion and delays, bringing relief to thousands of travellers transiting India’s second-busiest airport daily.

Amid Himachal Crisis, Navjot Singh Sidhu slams 6 Congress MLAs; urges for ‘purge’ in party

by Leave a Comment

Himachal political crisis: Six MLAs from the Congress party cross-voted in the Rajya Sabha polls, causing a political turmoil in the state.

Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the six party lawmakers who voted in favour of the BJP candidate in the Rajya Sabha polls in Himachal Pradesh, causing political turmoil in the hill state. Calling for an “assessment of assets and liabilities” of the party, the former Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief said that the defeat of senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi in the Rajya Sabha elections is not just his loss but a larger one.

“The Himachal fiasco calls for an assessment of assets and liabilities for The Grand Old Party ??? …. “Masqueraders” on plum posts covertly dancing to the tunes of agencies like CBI, ED and IT have spelt dooms day for us many a times!,” Sidhu wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

According to the Congress leader, it is essential to purge the party of those who “prioritize personal gain over the collective good” as their actions “inflict profound wounds on the party’s existence”.

“…The wounds might heal but the mental scars will remain…Their gain is the congress worker’s biggest pain…Loyalty is not everything but the only thing,” he added.

Even though the Congress holds 40 seats in the 68-member assembly in Himachal Pradesh, the state government is facing a crisis after six MLAs crossed sides and are learnt to be in touch with the BJP. Currently, the BJP holds 25 seats, while the remaining three seats are held by independents.

The surprising defeat of Congress in the Rajya Sabha polls has prompted the BJP to challenge Himachal CM Sukhvinder Singh Sikhu-led government and demand a show of strength in the House.

Meanwhile, Sukhu has refuted all reports of him resigning from the post, asserting that he will prove a majority in the House.

“Neither anyone asked for my resignation nor have I presented my resignation to anyone. We will prove the majority. We will win, the people of Himachal will win,” the Himachal CM said.

He added, “I am not someone who will get scared and I can say this with guarantee that the Congress is going to win…The BJP is spreading rumours of my resignation. The Congress is united.”
