saar opposition saying RaGa will fall into BJP trap if he resigns, thought it was the other way round

New Delhi: The noose around Robert Vadra, brother-in-law of Congress President Rahul Gandhi, seems to have tightened further with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issuing fresh summons to him on Wednesday in connection with a money laundering case, that is linked to purchase of alleged illegal assets abroad. Vadra has been asked to appear before the ED’s investigating officer of the case at around 10:30 am at the agency’s office here on Thursday.

The ED moved to the court only last week to seek cancellation of the anticipatory bail given to Vadra in this case. The Delhi high court had then issued notice to him seeking his response.

The ED, which had grilled Vadra over a dozen times in this case, had told the Delhi HC that it required Vadra’s custody as he was not cooperating in the investigation and the trial court had not discussed the gravity of the offence in its order that gave relief to Vadra, husband of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi.

The Enforcement Directorate case against Vadra relates to allegations of money laundering in the purchase of a London-based property located at 12, Bryanston Square that is worth 1.9 million british pounds, that is allegedly owned by him. The agency had told a Delhi court that it has received information about various new properties in London which belong to Vadra.

These include two houses, one worth 5 million GBP and the other valued at 4 million GBP, six other flats and more properties. Vadra has denied the allegations of possessing illegal foreign assets and termed them a political witch hunt against him. He said he was being “hounded and harassed” to subserve political ends.

Well if he resigns and props up someone, people will say he put a puppet and controls with remote like his mom did to manmohan. If he does not resign people are saying he is not taking accountability. He is not sure what the hell to do now.

The prosecution advocate rejected these contentions and asked that if the certificate had been issued on 13 May, as the date on it mentioned, why hadn’t it been produced before the court earlier.

I am not sure where I read this, but several people are indicating that Rahul might have broken. The defeat has been so comprehensive that it has really shaken him up. With such defeat, he may genuinely be in a position where he no longer knows what to believe and everyone he relied on to improve Congress position can no longer be trusted.

I mean, at the far end of the election, he actually felt that he had a chance to limit BJP's advance and force them into a coalition. At the "manthan", he still held on to the belief that they lost because his aides didnt carry the message of "chowkidar chor hai" with conviction. He simply has no idea what hit him.

.@INCIndia has decided to not send spokespersons on television debates for a month.

All media channels/editors are requested to not place Congress representatives on their shows.

Maneka and Varun swapped constituencies this time around- she contested from Sultanpur and him from Pilibhit. Maneka Gandhi's winning margin from Sultanpur was 14,526 votes (Varun had won by 1.78 lakh votes in 2014). Varun Gandhi won in Pilibhit by 2.55 lakh votes (Maneka had won by 3 lakh votes in 2014).

I wonder what were the reasons for this switch.

Before the elections the worry was about a so-called "Core Hindu" voter group who was pi$$ed of that the above list of demands were not met by Namo 1 Govt. But when it came to the elections BJP scored more seats than last time. So I am getting a feeling that there is also a "Core-what ever group" who may vote for BJP and Na.Mo in large numbers if certain other promises (welfare schemes et.al) are actually kept.

Karan M wrote:I am ok with some core issues being given non core treatment, for a while at least as long as majority gets freedom to breathe and is not criminalized as was the intent with Communal Violence Bill. That requires BJP to be in power for at least 4-5 terms while incrementally the publics mood changes and the left's Hinduphobia is made irrelevant and all these changes happen as "ideas whose time had come". BRF/Internet RW are minority. Vast majority of middle class IMHO remain clueless about these topics, in fact get scared of ppl aggressively pushing for change. They will need time too, to wake up from 70 yrs of leftist kool-aid.

For the post of Leader of Opposition, will NCP and Congress merge?
The status is granted to the party that gets at least 10% of the Lok Sabha's 543 seats
Business Standard , May 27, 2019

The Congress has won 52 seats in the new Lok Sabha. This means none of its leaders would be eligible for the Opposition leader status in the Lok Sabha. The status is granted to the house leader of the principal Opposition party but only if that party gets at least 10 per cent of the Lok Sabha's 543 seats. The Congress is a couple of seats short. A section in the Congress believes it is time that the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) merged with the Congress. This, according to some, will serve two purposes. The NCP has five MPs in the new Lok Sabha. Merging with the Congress would take the Congress tally to 57 in the Lok Sabha, and would entitle the Congress party's leader in the House for leader of the Opposition status. Moreover, this could also help the two parties have greater synergy as they prepare for the Maharashtra Assembly polls in September-October. However, NCP sources have, until now, denied the possibility of a merger with the Congress.
