BJP organise communal riots in Congress-ruled states in the hope for 2014 poll gain: Digvijaya Singh.

Bangalore:

Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Tuesday claimed that the BJP might organise communal riots in Congress-ruled states in the hope of winning Lok Sabha elections due in 2014. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) feels it cannot win the election without "communalising" the situation, he said addressing the general body meeting of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee in Bangalore.

Singh, recently appointed in-charge of Congress affairs in Karnataka, urged the party government in the state to be on vigil to put down attempts to create communal disturbance. In his address to the meeting, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah assured that his government would put down any attempts at creating communal disturbance in the state.

Election metrics | Analysing exit polls, Election , 2014 lok sabha election updates

The polls that have been published so far are trying to make judgements based on people’s opinions almost a year ahead of the general election.

Polling in India is a hard business for several reasons. First, the country is politically fragmented. We have a large number of regional parties, whose influence is restricted to certain states or even parts of states. Then, even if two regions see battles between the same parties, elections there are more often than not likely to be fought on different issues. Finally, and most importantly, we have a first-past-the-post system combined with multi-cornered contests, which makes predictions difficult.

BJP president Rajnath Singh will contest the 2014 general elections from Ghaziabad Lok Sabha seat

Quelling speculations over its choice of candidate for the Ghaziabad Lok Sabha seat, the BJP in a meeting on Wednesday clarified that party president and sitting MP Rajnath Singh will contest the 2014 general elections from the constituency. The announcement has been made in the light of recent conjectures by rival political parties - particularly after Singh was elevated to the post of party president - that BJP would field a fresh candidate from Ghaziabad.

Singh, a former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, had been elected to the Lok Sabha from Ghaziabad in the 2009 general elections after defeating his nearest rival, the Congress candidate Surendra Prakash Goel, by a margin of over 90,000 votes.

The BJP unit in Ghaziabad informed that ever since Singh was elected national president in January, rival political parties had launched systematic campaigns against him, fabricating theories that he would no longer contest from Ghaziabad.

Moily in doubt over amendment to RTI Bill, says timing not right: sources

New Delhi: Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister M Veerappa Moily has expressed doubts over the amendment to the Right to Information Bill saying the timing may not be right, considering the poor perception about politicians, said sources. The amendment, aimed at keeping political parties out of the RTI ambit, is likely to be taken up by the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
The government and the Opposition seemed to be united on this issue and a Cabinet note said that as political parties are neither public bodies nor Constitutional bodies and they do not take government funds, hence should be kept out of the RTI loop.
