"If KCR, Nitish Kumar Have Guts": BJP Challenge On Upcoming State Polls.


Patna: 

The BJP lashed out today as Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao landed in Bihar to visit Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, setting in motion what is seen as a big effort to gather together the opposition with an eye on the 2024 general elections. Party MP Sushil Modi, who earlier was Mr Kumar's deputy, ripped into the two opposition leaders, invoking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and challenging them to contest from BJP strongholds in the coming round of state elections.

"Nitishji, you may ally with anyone, but in 2024 you won't even remain the Chief Minister, forget about the post of the Prime Minister," said Sushil Modi.

"If KCR and Nitish-ji have the guts, let them contest the elections from Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat. Then they will understand what is the situation," he added.

He also slammed Mr Kumar's criticism of the BJP earlier today -- "excessive prachaar-prasaar (publicity)" -- saying if PM Modi was only dependent on publicity, "then the BJP would not have been ruling over 18 states".

The party's former ally, Sushil Modi said, is showing "all the effects of keeping bad company".  

"I'm surprised that Nitish-ji has fallen into bad company. Narendra Modi ji has done so much for Bihar, laid down an elaborate road network," he said.

"But he is glorifying those who destroyed Bihar," Mr Modi added, targeting Mr Kumar's new ally Tejashwi Yadav, whose Rashtriya Janata Dal ruled Bihar for over a decade under the leadership of his parents, Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi.

Mr Kumar and Mr Rao declared earlier today that they are looking at a "main front" instead of a "Third Front" -- indicating that they would try to bring all the opposition parties on boar

Ganesh and Siddhi

Ganesh and Siddhi 10th-11th century India Buff sandstone Ganesh, the Hindu god of success, was the son of the goddess Parvati. He is also worshipped as the deity of doorways, education, knowledge, wisdom, and wealth. According to myth, Ganesh's mother created him. Parvati made her young son guardian of her boudoir. One day, Shiva came to Parvati’s chamber, and Ganesh refused him entrance. Shiva was enraged, and—not recognizing Ganesh—cut off the boy’s head. When Parvati saw what had happened, she was inconsolable. In an effort to soothe her, Shiva replaced Ganesh’s severed head with that of an elephant and accepted him as his son. Siddhi, the personification of spiritual power and one of Ganesh’s consorts, perches on his leg holding a basket of round sweets called laddus, which represent the rewards of living a wise life. The tusk in Ganesh’s lower right hand signifies self-sacrifice. He broke it off so that he could use it to write the sacred epic poem the Mahabharata....
