LUCKNOW, India (AP) — Authorities in a northern Indian town imposed an indefinite curfew and ordered police to shoot violators after clashes over the construction of a Muslim seminary and a mosque left at least five people dead and more than 150 injured, officials said Friday.

The violence Thursday also led authorities to shut down internet services and schools in Haldwani, Uttarakhand state government official Chief Radha Raturi said.

The situation was brought under control with nearly 4,000 police officers rushing to the area, said police officer A.P. Anshuman. He said police were ordered to shoot protesters violating the curfew.

On Thursday, thousands of protesters tried to block government officials and police who arrived to demolish the seminary and mosque following a court order that the structures were being built on government land without local authorization, Anshuman said.

As violence escalated, police fired live ammunition and tear gas to disperse protesters using petrol bombs and stones to attack a police station and set several vehicles on fire, Anshuman said.

State police chief Abhinav Kumar said five people died in the violence. He did not give details but said no fresh violence was reported on Friday.

Government administrator Vandana Singh Chauhan over 150 police officers were injured and several people were hospitalized.

Anshuman did not say whether police fire killed the protesters. He also didn't identify the religion of the victims.

Haldwani is about 270 kilometers (170 miles) northeast of New Delhi.

Muslim groups and rights organizations have accused India’s Hindu-nationalist government of demolishing their homes and businesses in the past. Officials have defended their actions, saying they are only targeting illegal buildings, but critics call it a growing pattern of “bulldozer justice” aimed at punishing activists from minority group.

In a report released this week, Amnesty International condemned several instances of bulldozers razing Muslims’ homes, businesses and places of worship, which it said was often done under the guise of illegal encroachment and without adequate notice.

“The unlawful demolition of Muslim properties by the Indian authorities, peddled as ‘bulldozer justice’ by political leaders and media, is cruel and appalling. Such displacement and dispossession is deeply unjust, unlawful and discriminatory,” said Agnès Callamard, the rights group’s secretary general.

The group’s researchers found that between April and June 2022, authorities in five states used demolitions as punishment following incidents of communal violence or protests, and documented at least 128 demolitions during this period.

Critics and opponents have long accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of looking the other way and sometimes enabling hate speech against Muslims, who comprise 14% of India’s 1.4 billion people.

Modi’s Bhartiya Janata Party denies the accusations.

Yamuna’s Perennial Toxic Saga: A Critical Issue For Delhi

Yamuna's plight raises questions about accountability and the effectiveness of governmental commitments to environmental supervision

As the festive season approaches, the Yamuna river remains a focal point in the national capital, marred by extreme pollution despite repeated electoral promises. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), led by former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, has continually vowed to clean this river. Yet, just weeks before the annual Chhath Puja, toxic foam covers its surface, highlighting the grim reality of the situation.

Notably, soon after coming to power in 2015, Kejriwal had promised to clean the river and said, “We will revive Yamuna within five years.”

Then again in 2021, Kejriwal reiterated the promise to rejuvenate the Yamuna and said that he will take a dip in the river in February 2025. Then in 2020, Delhi’s then water minister Satyendra Jain claimed that the Delhi government was committed to revive the river within next three-four years. In November 2021, Kejriwal announced a six-point action plan to change the face of Yamuna. Even AAP’s Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament Swati Maliwal attacked the Delhi government and accused them of “making false promises of cleaning the river”.

Earlier this year, the Delhi government’s pollution control body planned to penalise chief engineers of sewage treatment plants that do not treat wastewater to prescribed standards, a major cause of pollution in the Yamuna. The national capital missed the December 2023 deadline to treat all sewage generated to the prescribed standards. The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) received a six-month extension but failed to meet the goal, according to monthly progress reports on Yamuna’s rejuvenation sent to the Jal Shakti ministry.

Meanwhile, Bhartiya Janata Party Delhi unit president Virendra Sachdeva took a dip in the Yamuna river earlier this week in Delhi to highlight the pollution. The Delhi BJP chief had invited people to Chhath Ghat to show the plight of Yamuna.

Sachdeva said that he took a dip to “atone for the sins of Kejriwal”. He further said: “The central government gave Rs 8,500 crore to the Delhi government in seven years for cleaning the Yamuna, but the money was embezzled by the AAP government. The BJP leader later reported breathing issues and skin irritation days after he took a dip in the heavily polluted toxic water of the Yamuna River. After experiencing health issues, the Delhi BJP chief slammed Kejriwal over his ‘failure’ to fulfill his promise of cleaning Yamuna by 2025.”

The spike in pollution levels in the Yamuna has mirrored the various political promises made over the years.

According to water quality data from 2021, the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) level of the Yamuna rose dramatically from 11.0 mg at Pala (where it enters Delhi) to a whopping 127.0 mg at Asgarpur (where it exits). Recent data from 2024 suggests a similar trend, with BOD levels starting at 2.5 mg and spiking to an alarming 80.0 mg at Asgarpur.

Yamuna’s plight continues to be a critical issue in Delhi, raising pressing questions about accountability and the effectiveness of governmental commitments to environmental supervision.

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 20th October. The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), the largest political party in the world with over 18 crore members, is currently in the midst of a leadership transition that will have far-reaching implications for its future. With the ongoing membership drive aimed at adding nine crore more members and the search for a new party president underway, the BJP finds itself at a crucial juncture. The party’s leadership transition, set to conclude by December, is significant as it comes at a time when the BJP is preparing for upcoming state assembly elections and eyeing a strong performance in future national elections. The transition of leadership within the BJP is not just an internal process; it reflects the dynamic relationship between the BJP’s political arm and its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). This process offers insight into the party’s decision-making mechanisms, its political culture, and the strategic priorities it will pursue in the coming years. A Look at J P Nadda’s Tenure and the Search for a Successor J P Nadda, the current BJP president, has presided over the party through a challenging period, overseeing both successes and setbacks. His leadership saw the BJP contest state assembly elections and the pivotal 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where the party fell short of a majority and had to rely on coalition partners like the Janata Dal (United) and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to form a government. Nadda, known for his quiet demeanor and collaborative approach, played a background role, allowing the more high-profile Modi-Shah duo to steer critical decisions. His leadership style aligned with the expectations of a party president who would not overshadow Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Home Minister Amit Shah, and the BJP is expected to seek a similar figure to succeed him. Nadda’s appointment as a cabinet minister in the Modi 3.0 government and his role as leader of the Rajya Sabha in June signaled the beginning of the end of his tenure as party president. The search for his successor, therefore, is a high-stakes process, especially as the party looks to maintain its momentum, strengthen its grassroots base, and navigate upcoming political challenges. The BJP’s Organisational Elections: A Democratic Tradition The process to elect a new BJP president is lengthy, involving elections at block, district, and state levels. This bottom-up approach ensures the active participation of party members across the country, helping the BJP retain its mass base while fostering internal democracy. Rajya Sabha MP Laxman, who is overseeing the organisational elections, along with vice president Rekha Verma and MPs Sambit Patra and Naresh Bansal, are tasked with ensuring that this process runs smoothly. The BJP’s constitution requires that at least 20 state executive members propose the name of a candidate for party president, with seconding support from members in at least four other states. This rigorous process ensures that the eventual candidate enjoys broad consensus within the party. Historically, BJP presidents have been chosen by consensus, avoiding contests, which reflects the party’s emphasis on internal unity and stability. The Key Names in the Running: Balancing Modi-Shah and RSS Priorities As speculation grows over potential candidates, several prominent names have emerged, including Cabinet ministers Dharmendra Pradhan, Bhupendra Yadav, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Rajnath Singh, and Devendra Fadnavis. Each of these leaders brings a unique set of strengths and experiences, making the final decision a matter of balancing the preferences of the Modi-Shah duo with the priorities of the RSS. The RSS, which has historically played a crucial role in shaping BJP leadership, prefers a president with significant political experience who can operate independently of Modi’s towering influence. The relationship between the BJP and the RSS, while generally harmonious, has not been without friction.

The RSS provides ideological grounding for the BJP and has ‘lent’ pracharaks (full-time volunteers) to the party, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself. However, the RSS has shown discomfort with the cult of personality that has developed around Modi, preferring leaders who maintain humility and avoid self-aggrandizement. The remarks of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat in Pune last month, where he stated, “We should not consider ourselves as God. Let people decide if there is God in you,” have been interpreted by some as a veiled critique of Modi’s larger-than-life persona. These remarks suggest that the RSS may prefer a party president who is not entirely in awe of Modi and can function independently. The Stakes for the BJP and the Challenges Ahead Whoever succeeds Nadda will inherit a party that faces several challenges. The BJP’s dominance in national and state politics has attracted many rebels from other parties, each with their own ambitions. Managing these aspirants, maintaining internal cohesion, and preventing factionalism will be crucial for the next president. The new leader will also need to ensure that the party remains election-ready, avoiding the complacency that can come with prolonged periods of power. Another significant challenge will be addressing the rumoured rift between the BJP and the RSS. The 2024 Lok Sabha results, where the BJP failed to secure an outright majority, have been partially attributed to the RSS not fully mobilizing its grassroots machinery during the campaign. This potential disconnect between the political and ideological arms of the Sangh Parivar (the larger family of Hindu nationalist organizations) needs to be repaired if the BJP is to perform well in upcoming elections. A Crucial Moment for the BJP’s Future The upcoming leadership transition within the BJP is more than just an internal affair—it is a litmus test for the party’s ability to navigate complex internal and external challenges. In my opinion, the new president must be someone who can balance the Modi-Shah duo’s operational control with the RSS’s ideological concerns. The BJP’s electoral success in recent years has been built on this delicate balance, and any shift in this equilibrium could impact the party’s future trajectory. Moreover, the next leader must have the ability to unite the party’s diverse factions, manage the growing influence of regional leaders, and address the aspirations of newcomers. With the BJP aiming to expand its membership by another nine crore, the new president will also need to focus on grassroots engagement, ensuring that the party’s organizational strength continues to grow. At the same time, the party needs to be mindful of the changing political landscape. The 2024 Lok Sabha elections highlighted the limits of the BJP’s current coalition strategy, with regional parties playing a critical role in forming the government. The new president will need to foster alliances, strengthen coalition politics, and develop strategies to win over states where the BJP’s presence remains weak. Conclusion The search for J P Nadda’s successor is a pivotal moment for the BJP, offering both challenges and opportunities. The party must find a leader who can work seamlessly with the Modi-Shah duo while also earning the respect of the RSS. This balance is critical for the BJP’s continued dominance in Bharatiya politics. The leadership transition is also an opportunity for the BJP to renew itself, address internal challenges, and refocus on its ideological roots. As the party embarks on a massive membership drive, the new president will play a key role in shaping the future direction of the BJP, ensuring that it remains both a political powerhouse and a vehicle for its broader ideological goals. In the coming months, as the election process unfolds, the BJP must carefully navigate its internal dynamics, manage its relationship with the RSS, and choose a leader who can lead the party through the complexities of coalition politics and electoral challenges.

Whether a consensus candidate emerges or a dark horse surprises everyone, one thing is certain: the choice of the next BJP president will have a profound impact on the party’s future and its ability to continue shaping the political landscape of Bharat.   The post Bhartiya Janata Party’s Leadership Transition: Challenges and Opportunities Amid a Membership Drive appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

Indian prime minister Narendra Modi cannot be imagined without his trademark hubris.

It was against such arrogance and over-confidence that the Indian voters gave him a qualified mandate. Worse, the mandate is fractured and conditional at…

Who really is Canadian-Indian businessman Ram Tumuluri

Controversial Canadian-Indian businessman Sri Ram Tumuluri, whose Indian electric buses deal has hit road blocks due to lack of international funding of US$8 billion, has a track record of running projects into the ground, according to a forensic investigation into his conduct and business practices published in several sections of the Indian press.

Media in India and America reported recently that Ram Tumuluri’s Causis Group has so far failed to raise the $8 billion needed to implement a Rs2,800-crore electric buses deal with the Mumbai authorities, putting public funds at risk. Forensic investigations have established that one of Ram’s partners in the same deal is a German national with known ties to Russian actors working for the interests of President Vladimir Putin. Results of the forensic investigations have been published in several Indian publications, some with links to the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP).

After the “American Daily Post” reported, quoting Indian authorities, that Sri Ram Tumuluri’s England & Wales registered Causis Group Ltd won in October 2021 a tender for supplying The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) with 1,400 electric vehicles but the whole deal is under threat over several issues related to the past dealings of Mr Ram Tumuluri.

According to the Indian publications, investigators in several jurisdictions have pieced together a pattern of Tumuluri’s modus operandi and how the controversial businessman has operated over the years to raise money with big promises and then make off with the money while running the projects into the pit.

Consistent pattern:

In all his operations, Ram Tumuluri has a consistent pattern: he presents investors with deals he does not himself have the funds to invest in; portrays them as easy money opportunities; sets up an opaque offshore corporate structure; pulls in his associates and past business connections; obtains partial funding for the project; walks away from the project with any funds invested, having purposefully failed to file accounts; and moves on to an alternative project. By maintaining a low level of tangible assets (i.e. renting rather than owning property), even in litigious situations, the plaintiffs are unable to make claims against any significant resources owned in Tumuluri’s name. An analysis of public records shows Tumuluri has consistently failed to file annual returns in companies he incorporated in India, the US, Canada and Singapore thereby not accounting for where the funds have gone.

Ram Tumuluri was born in the Indian city of Hyderabad to Satynarayana Tumuluri and Bharti Tumuluri, a Brahmin middle class family with no business history. Ram Tumuluri has claimed he received an undergraduate degree from Osmania University in Culinary Arts. Osmania University said it does not offer culinary courses. The controversial businessman has claimed that he went to the London School of Economics (LSE) but the LSE administration has said it has no record of Ram Tumuluri ever enrolling in any discipline or ever graduating from the prestigious institution.

Indian failures:

In India, Ram Tumuluri established the Ayucare brand under his company Holistic Healthcare. The businessman has fostered the impression that his company had taken the country by a storm; in reality one of the main spas was a bungalow in a residential area and the business folded after a few years after making huge losses. In 2008 his vehicle Tumuluri Hospitality Inc invested INR10m (equivalent to US$230k) in the company. At the time this was a significant investment considering only a few years before, Ram Tumuluri had left Marriott Hotels in Alberta, Canada to work as senior manager of the Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino, Canada. The investment ended in a failure and today there is no signage for Ayucare or Holistic Health and a banner advertising the leasing of the property hangs outside.

United States of America:

In the United States, Ram Tumuluri married Phrasavath Douangmala and they divorced in April 2003. His history in the US spans from approximately 1998 until 2004. He resided in Chicago, Illinois. In the divorce records, Tumuluri’s date of birth in the Milwaukee County divorce court documents is recorded as September rather than May 1975. It is unclear whether this was a deliberate attempt to avoid leaving a trail. Corporate registries in the US have Tumuluri as director of a real estate development company struck off in 2014 for not filing annual returns.  Tumuluri is identified in US records with social security number 340 94 1501 issued in Illinois in 1998. Phrasavath Douangmala runs an assisted living facility named Douangmala Phrasavath Adult Family Home for individuals with disabilities, which appears to be located at her residence.

Corporate directorship checks record Tumuluri as previously the president and director of Venturex Hawaii Investment Corporation, incorporated in Hawaii in May 2003 and dissolved in December 2014 for not filing an annual report. The other individual listed, Mamoru Hamanishi, traces back to British Columbia and is linked to Tumuluri there.

Canada connection:

Tumuluri subsequently moved to Canada, where his business practices set the hallmark for a pattern of behaviour repeated throughout his career to date. All his firms were dissolved due to non-filing of company accounts. Litigation records spell out the details of claims such as misuse of company funds and failure to provide accounting information to business partners. His projects all failed and left behind a string of claims by creditors ranging from mortgage providers to smaller unpaid suppliers. Notably, throughout his period in Canada, Tumuluri owned a property on only one occasion.

Federal and state documents in Canada record Tumuluri having incorporated seven companies since 2006. Only one remains active; the remaining six were dissolved for failure to file company records. Between 2005 and 2010 he became involved in the purchase and management of two hotel projects in British Columbia; one at Nita Lake Lodge (NLL Holdings) where he teamed with Praveen Varshney, a venture fraught with allegations of financial mismanagement and misuse of company funds, and the other at Cable Cove Inn & Spa which led to legal proceedings due to defaulted mortgage payments. Both became embroiled in litigation proceedings. In registering the seven Canadian companies Tumuluri utilised several physical and postal box addresses. They were all temporary as none were found to be owned by him, his wife or their associated businesses.

Cable Cove Inn, the property where Ram Tumuluri and his wife lived from 2010 to 2013 at 201 Main Street, Tofino, British Columbia is a ‘boutique style inn for an Adult/Couples’. According to court records, they defaulted on the mortgage and the British Columbian Supreme Court granted the ownership of the property to All Island Equity Mortgage Investment Corp following repossession.

According to William Walker, owner of All Island Equity Mortgage owner, the Tumuluris paid the mortgage for two years but stopped payments in 2012 and then the couple just walked away and left the property in a very poor state. However, within British Columbia, Tumuluri is named in a significant number of civil cases ranging from the Supreme Civil Court, foreclosure and small claims courts. The bulk of them relate to disputes over Nita Lake Lodge, including allegations of misuse of company funds, defaults on loans and mortgage payments, as well as smaller claims made by unpaid contractors.

Malta killing:

Ram Tumuluri has made global headlines due to his involvement in the doomed Vital Global Healthcare (VGH) project that continues to make headlines in Maltese press as well as globally for all the wrong reasons. It was Ram Tumuluri who sold the idea of the healthcare project to the Maltese government, won contracts for three major hospitals and then struggled to fulfil any of the promises he made and walked away from the project in the usual pattern of behaviour. But it’s the assassination of the Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana-Galizia, who was vocal in her accusation of corruption between the government and Tumuluri in the awarding of the project, that has made people cautious to speak on the subject. She was the first journalist to expose Ram Tumuluri’s murky business background and lack of healthcare credentials; and she made the link between the BVI network of companies and his partner Mark Pawley’s lack of funding credibility. She wrote that Tumuluri managed to get himself into pole-position with the government prior to the public tender process. Recently, Ram Tumuluri has claimed that he had to flee Malta because a senior politician threatened him with a similar fate as the assassinated journalist. However, the office of the politician has said that Ram Tumuluri’s claims are ludicrously wild and plainly false and he is lying in order to save his skin by throwing others under the bus. While working in Malta, the local media reported that Ram Tumuluri had an affair with Deborah Chappell, Maltese lawyer and former director of Technoline.

Dubai base:

Tumuluri, who lives in UK’s Sunningdale area in Ascot in a six-bedroom detached house purchased by his wife Sonya Sarah Tumuluri on 25 February 2021 for £2,550,000, claims to have two UAE entities, Mount Everest Global Trading and VGH Dubai. Records show he did attempt to raise funding in the UAE for the Malta PPP project but this was not successful. He was facilitated in this through the office and contacts of Mohammed Hanif Shaikh, Chairman of Emirates Holding Group. Both companies have shut their operations after failures.

Montenegro dealings:

Tumuluri secured a Public Private Partnership (PPP) contract in Montenegro, allegedly as a result of corruption coming from the inner circles of the Presidency, according to media reports in the country. An MoU was signed between VGH and the Ministry of Health in Montenegro in 2016. The concession was cancelled subsequently by the incumbent Health Minister.

Investigation shows that several business associates of Ram Tumuluri have been accused of questionable business dealings or been linked to fraud, misappropriation or stock exchange manipulation. None of them have a proven track record of significant commercial success, despite their claims to the contrary. The modus operandi of Mark Pawley and others matches that of Tumuluri: they all promise their investors lucrative investment opportunities which after the first round of investments is then declared as unsuccessful. The investors are left bearing the loss. Tumuluri et al move on to set up new projects.

The Russia connection:

Investigation in an American publication has revealed that Sri Ram Tumuluri’s partner in the Indian Rs2,800-crore electric buses deal, Thomas-Christan Seitz is known for close ties with the Kremlin and has worked for the interests of Russia’s feared spy agency KGB – now called the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

Two years ago, Ram Tumuluri’s England & Wales registered Causis Group Ltd won a tender for supplying The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) with 1,400 electric vehicles. Causis, registered in the UK but without any operations, is wholly owned by Tumuluri. Its operating entity is India-registered Causis E-Mobility Pvt Ltd.

India electric buses deal:

According to a forensic study by the publication, Causis acquired a 100% stake of German-registered Eurabus GmbH in September 2021. Eurabus was founded and formerly owned by Thomas-Christan Seitz. Eurabus has previously claimed to be in the process of opening EV factories in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Georgia and possibly Tanzania.

Causis Group Ltd was incorporated in England and Wales on 11 June 2021 under company number 13452464 and the company is 100% owned by Jersey-incorporated New Horizons Investments Limited, which in turn is 100% owned by Tumuluri, papers show. Causis Group’s statutory Directors are Tumuluri, Peter Knez, Charles Paul Rowan, Thomas-Christian Seitz and Gary Anthony Dugan.

Examination of original German corporate filings reveals that Eurabus GmbH was registered on 02 July 2015 under company number HRB 168446B. Eurabus GmbH’s initial share capital was €25,000 and was 100% owned by Euracom Group GmbH, a company managed and controlled by Seitz. On 31 October 2019, Eurabus GmbH increased its share capital to €1.105 million. On 30 September 2021 Causis Group Ltd acquired 100% stake in Eurabus GmbH from Euracom Group GmbH.

Seitz grew up in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) and attended the infamous Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), where 50% of the graduates are alleged to have gone into the Soviet diplomatic service and 50% into the KGB, said the publication.

A journalist who knew of Seitz and wrote a story about him and his activities in 2008 noted that Seitz graduated from the MGIMO in 1992. The journalist’s article, entitled “The Russians are Coming” in the daily newspaper Die Welt, described Seitz as associated with two Russian “security foundations” closely linked with Vladimir Putin.

In the article, Seitz is described as “Vice President” of the “Security Academy Waldmünchen” in Bavaria that was a branch of the “Academy for Legal Order, Security, and Defense Matters” in Moscow. The Academy was founded by Vladimir Putin himself. Putin is described as “Member No. 1”.

The article also states that Seitz and the academy were closely connected to an organisation called the “International Counterterrorism Association,” also in Moscow. That organisation in Germany, the article notes, can be connected to Karlshorst, Berlin where the KGB had its headquarters.

Funding failures:

Ram Tumuluri’s failing that matches VGH Malta failure scandal is his latest The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) project he signed with the Indian govt in October 2021. The project was set to start within two months but to date there is no sign of the project making any headway and Indian authorities have briefed media that Ram Tumuluri has failed to raise funds of around $8 billion to implement the Rs2,800-crore electric buses deal with the Mumbai authorities.

Indian govt sources told a US publication The American Daily website: “Causis is using the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Maharashtra Government as a security but banks are demanding sovereign guarantee from the state government, which has not been approved by the government. Causis is struggling to arrange debt and their efforts are ongoing but it is evident Causis has so far failed to find any credible lenders. On paper, there are lots of promises but there is zero delivery so far.”

The Mumbai authority fears that Ram Tumuluri may defraud his investors and business partners as Causis does not have manufacturing or technical capabilities.

According to an article by Indian news outlet The Indian Express, Causis won a tender for supplying The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) with 1,400 electric buses. In October 2021, the Maharashtra state government, in the presence of environment minister Aaditya Thackeray and industry minister Subhash Desai, signed the contract for Rs 2,800 crore ($370,000).

Maltese news outlet The Shift News reported Tumuluri’s Electrical Vehicles venture in an article titled “Ram Tumuluri suspected of replicating ‘fraudulent’ Malta VGH model in Mumbai” – a reference to a big health scare scandal in Malta.

Truth

The video in the viral post shows scenes of a polling booth where inscriptions on the walls were written in a seemingly South Indian language. This cue gives a hint of the place of fight not being Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh.

An article by NDTV reported that the video from Andhra Pradesh features A Sivakumar, Tenali's YSR Congress Party MLA slapping a voter in the booth.
