The extent to which politics has become disgusting can be gauged from the fact that in a program of the opposition party of the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was abused for his late mother. During the voter rights yatra of Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav in Darbhanga, abusive words were used against PM Narendra Modi. Let us tell you that assembly elections are going to be held in Bihar at the end of the year, for which the opposition is constantly making efforts. The vote rights yatra is going on in Bihar under the leadership of Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. During this yatra, the opposition is making new allegations against the ruling party every day. The issue erupted after Rahul Gandhi reportedly used offensive words for PM Modi, and later, someone from the stage insulted his mother. The abuse can be heard clearly in the video that went viral on social media. The abuse is so indecent that we cannot even tell you whether it is verbal or written. Now the question is whether the use of abusive language is the identity of Rahul Gandhi’s new political stance? This question is because even after several hours of openly abusing the Prime Minister from the stage, no statement came from Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi’s silence on the accused BJP has accused the Mahagathbandhan’s Voter Rights Yatra of breaching all limits of humiliation and hostility. The nation will always remember this act and will hold Congress and RJD accountable. Following the controversy, Darbhanga police identified the accused Raja through video footage and took him into custody. As of now, the police have taken Raja into custody and started the inquiry process. The police said that the investigation of the footage is going on to identify other people and more arrests can be made soon. Amit Shah targeted After the abuses on PM Modi, Amit Shah said in the Guwahati rally that Modi ji has received the highest honor from 27 countries. He said that Rahul Gandhi has started the politics of hatred and contempt against those whom the whole world respects, an example of which was seen in his ‘Infiltrator Bachao Yatra’. Congress has taken out an Infiltrator Bachao Yatra in Bihar, objectionable words were used against the late mother of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the stage of Rahul Gandhi’s welcome ceremony, which is being considered a very condemnable step of the Congress leaders. According to Shah, every abuse hurled by Congress will help the lotus bloom even more. Let us tell you that everyone believes that this is really very shameful, the words used by Rahul Gandhi for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother have shamed democracy. Now BJP demands that Rahul Gandhi apologize, the country will not tolerate such language for PM Modi.

Nihharika3 days ago3 days ago04 mins

ED raids have been conducted at Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bhardwaj’s house and 13 locations in Delhi. Raids were conducted at 13 locations in and around Delhi while investigating the alleged hospital scam of Rs 5,590 crore. This relates to the period when the Aam Aadmi Party government approved 24 hospital projects aimed at improving the healthcare infrastructure. According to the plan, ICU units in these hospitals were to be ready within six months. But Saurabh Bhardwaj is accused of not completing even 50% of these works till now. While more than Rs 800 crore has been spent. Based on allegations of cost overruns and misuse of funds, the ED had registered a money laundering case in July 2024. Today’s raid is part of the same investigation. What came out in the ED investigation According to reports, shocking figures have come to the fore in the ED investigation. The alleged scam linked to hospital construction is estimated to be around ₹5,590 crore. According to sources, ED raided 13 locations in Delhi and nearby areas as part of its investigation into the alleged scam of about Rs 5,590 crore related to government hospital construction. The focus of ED’s investigation is on the money embezzlement during the hospital construction. The names of former minister Satyendra Jain and current minister Saurabh Bhardwaj have surfaced in this hospital construction scam. ED has started the investigation by registering a case against both of them. Allegation of deliberate delay According to ED, a plan was made for 94 polyclinics which were to be built at a cost of Rs 168 crore. The expenditure for setting up polyclinics reportedly escalated from an initial ₹168 crore estimate to nearly ₹220 crore. Even after spending Rs 220 crore, only 52 polyclinics could be built. Along with this, it is also being said that to avoid financial transparency, the Health Information Management System was also deliberately stopped and low-cost options like NIC’s e-hospital were ignored. The investigation of the Anti Corruption Bureau has revealed that the cost of the hospital construction project was artificially increased. Not only was the work deliberately delayed, but funds were also misused, due to which the government treasury suffered a huge loss. To put it simply, former minister Satyendra Jain and current minister Saurabh Bhardwaj have been accused of money misappropriation during the construction of the hospital and alleged collusion at the political and administrative level related to it.

Bihar Assembly Election 2025: How will RJD’s ‘MY’ and JDU’s ‘Luv-Kush’ survive in Bihar? Whose game will be spoiled, Prashant Kishore, Nitish or Tejashwi Yadav?

Nihharika1 week ago7 days ago06 mins

Bihar is set to witness assembly elections towards the end of this year. With the passage of time, the election enthusiasm is increasing. A close contest is seen between Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav in Bihar. Bihar remains one of the few states where a candidate’s caste continues to play a crucial role. Because people believe that the candidate of their caste will work more for them than others. CM Nitish Kumar has kept himself close to power with the help of Luv-Kush i.e. Kushwaha-Kurmi equation. On the other hand, Tejashwi Yadav’s Muslim and Yadav’s MY equation is the base vote bank of Rashtriya Janata Dal. Muslims make up nearly 17% of Bihar’s population, while Yadavs represent close to 14%, as per the findings of the caste census. Let us tell you that M comes first in the MY equation and this is the biggest achievement for Muslims. Apart from CM Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav, Jan Suraj Party founder Prashant Kishor is also fighting on two fronts. Prashant Kishor is working on a strategy to fight the BJP as well as break into the vote bank of the Grand Alliance. However, how successful he will be in this will be known in the future. The kind of politics Prashant Kishor is doing, who will suffer more, Nitish Kumar or Tejashwi Yadav? Well, it is difficult to say this right now, for now, let’s take a look at the political battle going on in Bihar. Will Prashant Kishor succeed in attracting support from the Muslim electorate? Some time ago, Prashant Kishor had said in an interview that he has come to Bihar for change. If the people of Bihar understand his point, then he will win so many seats that it will be difficult to count them. Prashant Kishor was earlier attacking RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, but for some time his target has turned towards BJP. It is clearly visible from Prashant Kishore’s politics that he is eyeing the Muslim-Yadav (MY) equation and he wants to break into the vote bank of the Grand Alliance. His interest in Muslim voters is becoming a matter of serious concern for the RJD leadership. Prashant Kishore recently held a meeting with Muslim leaders at Haj Bhawan in Patna and proposed to connect with the wider community through JSP’s ‘Bihar Badlaav’. By doing this, he has given a big challenge to the leaders of the Grand Alliance. Allegation of Prashant Kishore being BJP’s ‘B team’ The Grand Alliance leadership has often accused Prashant Kishore of being the ‘B team’ of the BJP. But ever since he has started targeting the leaders of the saffron party in Bihar, there is a stir in the BJP as well. On the allegation of BJP’s ‘B team’, Prashant Kishore had hit back at Tejashwi Yadav and said that RJD people call us BJP’s B team, while BJP people also call us RJD’s B team. Whereas the truth is that Jan Suraj is the B team of the public. But, amid the allegations against Prashant Kishor, the question is whether he is really doing politics as someone’s B team or does he have his own political goals? His political journey may or may not be as someone’s B team. It is expected that he may not be able to make much impact in 2025. But the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and the 2030 assembly elections will also be on his target.

Condolences came in from various political leaders, who remembered Malik for his extensive administrative career and his candid views on key national issues. Nation Mourns a Fearless Voice Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also recognized Malik’s contributions, calling him a strong advocate for farmers. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee offered a heartfelt tribute, stating, “I am deeply saddened by the death of Satya Pal Malik ji. He earned respect in Indian politics by speaking uncomfortable truths that many hesitate to say. His support for the farmers’ movement and comments on sensitive issues like Pulwama showed his courage.” AAP leader and former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal praised Malik’s bravery: “Indian politics has lost a rare personality who always spoke the truth, even when it was inconvenient. He stood up for what he believed was right, particularly on issues that affected ordinary people.” He added, “May God grant peace to his soul and provide strength. A Journey Through High Constitutional Offices Satya Pal Malik’s political career lasted several decades. He served in both Houses of Parliament and held important positions. He was the last governor of Jammu and Kashmir from August 2018 to October 2019. This period coincided with the revocation of Article 370, which ended the region’s special constitutional status and split it into two Union Territories: J&K and Ladakh. After his term in Jammu and Kashmir, Malik served as the Governor of Goa from 2019 to 2020 and Meghalaya from 2020 to 2022. Known for his straightforward and often critical comments, Malik continued to attract attention even after leaving office, especially for his strong support of farmers during the protests against the now-repealed farm laws.

Although he stepped away from active politics in recent years, his legacy as a leader who challenged authority and gave a voice to marginalized communities remains strong.

He is remembered as a man who prioritized the truth over status and never hesitated to speak out, even when it opposed the establishment.

Meerut College Sparked Satyapal Malik’s Rise

Nihharika3 weeks ago3 weeks ago06 mins

Satyapal Malik, Born in Hisawda village of Baghpat (then part of Meerut), Malik’s leadership spark lit up early. In 1969, at just 21, he made history as the first directly elected student union president of Meerut College, a landmark moment that charted the course of his political future. Before that, student body heads were nominated rather than elected. But the winds of change began in 1965–66 when Malik became the first nominated “premier.” When student elections were abruptly stopped in 1967, Malik led a massive agitation that reached the gates of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly in Lucknow, where students courted arrest. That movement pressured authorities to reinstate direct elections, which Malik won. He earned his B.Sc. and LLB from Meerut College, which became the crucible of his political grooming. During the Emergency, he and his allies, including Jagat Singh and Vedpal Singh, faced jail time for their activism—each sent to separate jails due to their influence. But Malik’s political roots run deeper than most recall. His first brush with public attention came during the “Remove English, Promote Hindi” movement in 1965–66, when he was injured in a police lathi charge. His protest leadership sparked public fury—even leading to a local post office being set on fire. His growing clout brought him into the orbit of former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, who later described Malik as his “political heir.” Malik joined the Bharatiya Lok Dal, won an MLA seat from Baghpat in 1974, served in both Houses of Parliament, and held a Union ministry post. He later joined the BJP and served as governor under its government. Even during the infamous 1973 Lata Gupta abduction case in Meerut, Malik led powerful student protests that forced a curfew in the city—underlining his fearless activism. Standing on the very soil that birthed his career, he proudly declared the college his “political nursery.” Hisawda Mourns Its Hero In Hisawda, news of his death cast a long shadow of grief. Malik’s 300-year-old ancestral haveli became a place of remembrance, as villagers spoke of a leader who never lost touch with his roots. “He was always humble a grounded man despite the big posts he held,” said Virender Singh Malik, an elder who shared a long-standing bond with him. “As a child, he was quiet and respectful and even loved playing volleyball.” Though his immediate family moved away, Malik remained emotionally connected to Hisawda. His last visit in 2023 after retirement was heartfelt. Walking its dusty lanes, he said, “Yeh mitti meri taqat hai”—a ”line that echoed his lifelong connection to his birthplace. Family members remember him as soft-spoken, disciplined, and deeply attached to his roots. Amit Malik, his nephew, recalled how Satyapal cycled several kilometers to attend school and college, inspiring an entire generation in the village. His cousin Gyanendra Malik recalled a village gathering (chaupal) held in his honour during his last visit, where Satyapal reaffirmed his commitment to the common man, farmers, and labourers. Even as governor, he remained a voice of dissent when needed specially admired for speaking truth to power during sensitive times. A Voice That Won’t Be Forgotten He inaugurated the new history department building and fondly referred to the college as the place where his political journey took root, calling it his “political nursery.” He was a man who never let power erode his principles, who rose from dusty student protests to the highest constitutional offices and yet always came back home.
