"Look At The Irony": Prashant Kishor Party's Fact-Check As BJP Rumours Swirl

Social media is abuzz with a screenshot claiming that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has appointed poll strategist and politician Prashant Kishor as their national spokesperson. Prashant Kishor's party, Jan Suraaj, has issued a statement saying that the so-called BJP letter is fake.

Prashant Kishor's party also hit out at the Congress, accusing its leader Jairam Ramesh of sharing the fake image. On its official X handle, Jan Suraaj shared a screenshot that they claimed proved that the document was shared by the senior Congress leader on WhatsApp.

"Look at the irony! Congress, Rahul Gandhi You all talk about fake news and claim to be the victims. Now see yourself how the head of Communications of Congress Party, Jairam Ramesh, apparently a senior leader, is personally circulating a fake document," the party said in the post.

The image shows a BJP letterhead claiming that party president JP Nadda has appointed Prashant Kishor as the party's national spokesperson. It was shared by several users on X and Facebook.

The image went viral after Mr Kishor predicted a victory for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP in an exclusive interview with NDTV on Tuesday.

Mr Kishor, who had worked with PM Modi and the BJP during the 2014 polls, said that the BJP's tally in this election may hover around its 2019 score of 303 or better than it. He also credited the ruling party with shifting the election discourse from merely crossing the half-way mark to winning 370 seats in the Lok Sabha.

"In the last three-four months, the discussion has centred around '370' and '400 paar'. Consider it a BJP strategy or Opposition's weakness, but the BJP has entirely shifted the goalpost from 272 to 370. This has benefitted the BJP. Now, no one is saying Modi ji will lose, they are saying they may not get 370 seats," said the poll strategist.

If nothing to hide, why is govt running away from JPC probe into Adani issue: Jairam Ramesh

Reacting to Shah's reported remarks, Ramesh said, "If they do not have anything to hide, why are they running away from a Joint Parliamentary Committee (probe)."

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Tuesday alleged that the Centre was "running away" from a JPC probe into the Adani-Hindenburg issue and said such an investigation be allowed if the government has nothing to hide in the matter.

The Congress' attack on the government came after Union Home Minister Amit Shah's reported remarks that there is nothing for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to hide or be afraid of in the matter.

Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters here, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said he has written to RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das and SEBI chief Madhabi Puri Buch for an impartial probe into the Adani issue.

Reacting to Shah's reported remarks, Ramesh said, "If they do not have anything to hide, why are they running away from a Joint Parliamentary Committee (probe)."

"They do not even allow us to raise the demand of the JPC in Parliament. When our leaders, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge ji, raised the demand for JPC, their remarks were expunged," Ramesh said.

If there is nothing to hide, the government should allow a JPC, he stressed.

His remarks came a day after the Centre agreed to the Supreme Court's proposal to set up a panel of experts to look into strengthening the regulatory mechanisms for the stock market in the wake of the recent Adani group shares crash triggered by Hindenburg Research's fraud allegations.

Saying it has no objection to constituting the panel, the Centre, at the same time, stressed that market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and other statutory bodies are "fully equipped", not only regime wise, but otherwise also to deal with the situation.

Ramesh said it is important to look at the petition that had been filed in the court which he claimed was basically against Hindenburg research. Investigation should be against Adani and its ties with the government, Ramesh said.

Ramesh said he would, however, also make it clear that the Congress is in favour of private investments and they need to be encouraged.

"We have always said we are in favour of entrepreneurship and that is the way forward for economic development. We are against blind privatisation and selling of PSUs," he said.

The Congress is in favour of liberalisation, but this should be on the basis of rules and institutions which should function independently so that the rules can be applied in an impartial and transparent manner.

Our fight is against crony capitalism, he asserted.

"We will not be cowed down, we will keep raising our voice," he said. He also claimed that all Opposition parties are on the same page in demanding a JPC probe into the Adani issue.

BRS leader Kavitha calls Congress arrogant, Jairam Ramesh asks her to worry about ED instead

The Congress shot back with its general secretary Jairam Ramesh advising her to instead worry about the Enforcement Directorate and jail.

NEW DELHI: The rift in the Opposition was out in the open on Thursday after Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha slammed the Congress saying it had been reduced to a big regional party, adding it should shed arrogance and face reality.

The Congress shot back with its general secretary Jairam Ramesh advising her to instead worry about the Enforcement Directorate and jail. “Kavitha should worry about ED and jail,” Ramesh told The New Indian Express, alluding to her consent to appear before the federal probe agency on Saturday for questioning in connection with the Delhi liquor policy scam.

Kavitha, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, however, urged Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and AICC general secretary K C Venugopal to send party representatives to the protest she is scheduled to hold on Friday at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar demanding the introduction of the Women’s Reservation Bill in the upcoming session of Parliament. While over 6,000 people are expected to participate, 18 political parties will join Friday’s protest.

Kavitha said the Congress should ‘understand the ground reality’ and join hands with strong regional parties to defeat the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. “Congress is no longer a national party but just a big regional party. It should shed its arrogance,” she said. She, however, hailed former Congress president Sonia Gandhi for supporting the Women’s Reservation Bill in Parliament in 2010. “Though it was a coalition government, Soniaji got the bill to the Rajya Sabha,” said Kavitha.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 22nd Nov. The Congress party on Friday retaliated against BJP president JP Nadda’s allegations, accusing the opposition of pushing a politically motivated narrative regarding the ongoing unrest in Manipur. Congress spokesperson Jairam Ramesh called Nadda’s letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge a “4D exercise—denial, distortion, distraction, and defamation.” Nadda had earlier accused Congress of presenting a false narrative on the Manipur violence, in response to Kharge’s letter to President Droupadi Murmu seeking intervention in the crisis. Kharge had highlighted the Centre’s failure to defuse the situation, which has seen escalating violence since May 2023 between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities, resulting in over 220 deaths. In his rejoinder, Nadda claimed that Congress’s failure in addressing local issues when it was in power was still contributing to the unrest. “What is shocking is how repeated attempts are being made by the Congress party to sensationalise the situation in Manipur,” Nadda stated, also criticizing the Congress for its past handling of issues related to illegal migration. In response, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh hit out at Nadda, saying the party was merely trying to deflect attention from the core issues at hand. He raised four key questions regarding the ongoing crisis, asking when Prime Minister Modi would visit the state, when Chief Minister N. Biren Singh would step down given the lack of support from the majority of MLAs, when a full-time governor would be appointed, and when Union Home Minister Amit Shah would take responsibility for his handling of the situation. Ramesh stressed that the people of Manipur were yearning for peace and were questioning the government’s inaction. The Congress continues to criticize the Centre’s response to the ethnic violence that has left thousands displaced and deeply affected the northeastern state.

It told the Supreme Court’s Expert Committee on 25 August 2023 that it was investigating 13 suspicious transactions. Yet the investigations never bore fruit,” the Congress leader added.He stated that Hindenburg Research’s revelations on Saturday indicate that Buch and her husband invested in the same offshore funds based in Bermuda and Mauritius, where “Vinod Adani and his close associates, Chang Chung-Ling and Nasser Ali Shahban Ahli, had also invested money obtained from the over-invoicing of power equipment.”“The government must act immediately to eliminate all conflicts of interest in the SEBI investigation of Adani. The fact is that the seeming complicity of the highest officials of the land can only be resolved by setting up a JPC (joint parliamentary committee) to investigate the full scope of the Adani mega scam,” he said.Similarly, Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra also said, “crony capitalism is at its finest”. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Moitra wrote, “In true Adani style – even SEBI Chairman is investor in his group.”“Crony Capitalism at its finest. @CBiHeadquarters&@Dir_ED – will you be filing POCA and PMLA cases or not?” she asked.Google News What does Hindenburg’s new report say?Hindenburg Research has released an exclusive new report implicating SEBI chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch in the ‘Adani money siphoning scandal.’ This report follows more than a year after Hindenburg first accused the Adani Group of insider trading and other stock market violations—allegations consistently denied by the conglomerate led by Gautam Adani.The latest report highlights an offshore Mauritius fund called IPE Plus Fund, reportedly established by Vinod Adani through India Infoline. It also references the Bermuda-based Global Dynamic Opportunities Fund, which invested in IPE Plus Fund 1. Vinod Adani, a Dubai-based businessman and the elder brother of Gautam Adani, is still connected to the Adani Group.“We had previously noted Adani’s total confidence in continuing to operate without the risk of serious regulatory intervention, suggesting that this may be explained through his relationship with the SEBI Chairperson. What we hadn’t realized: the current SEBI Chairperson and her husband, Dhaval Buch, had hidden stakes in the exact same obscure offshore Bermuda and Mauritius funds, found in the same complex nested structure, used by Vinod Adani,” the report said.Google News What did Hindenburg’s previous report say?Last January, Hindenburg Research, known for shorting companies like electric truck maker Nikola Corp and Twitter (now X), accused the Adani Group of orchestrating “the largest con in corporate history.” The report claimed that the conglomerate used a complex network of offshore companies in tax havens to inflate revenues and manipulate stock prices while accumulating significant debt.Despite the Adani Group’s strong denial of these accusations, the report caused a sharp decline in the group’s stock prices, erasing over USD 150 billion in market value across its 10 listed companies at their lowest point.

However, most of these companies have since recovered their losses.Following the Hindenburg report, the Supreme Court of India directed the market regulator SEBI to investigate and formed an expert panel to examine potential regulatory lapses. The panel did not issue any negative findings against Adani, and the Supreme Court concluded that no additional investigations were necessary beyond SEBI’s ongoing inquiry.SEBI informed the Supreme Court-appointed panel that it was investigating 13 opaque offshore entities holding between 14% and 20% in five publicly traded stocks of the conglomerate.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 21st Nov. The Congress party on Thursday called for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) investigation into the alleged “Adani Mega Scam,” following charges against billionaire Gautam Adani by US prosecutors. The charges include bribery and fraud, where Adani is accused of orchestrating a scheme to bribe Indian government officials for favorable terms in solar power contracts. US authorities allege that between 2020 and 2024, Adani, his nephew Sagar, and others in the Adani Group paid over USD 250 million in bribes to secure contracts projected to generate over USD 2 billion in profits. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a five-count indictment, including securities fraud and wire fraud conspiracies, accusing the Adanis of criminal activities carried out with the protection of the Indian government. Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh said the charges further vindicated the party’s demand for a JPC probe into the Adani Group’s activities. “The SEC’s actions highlight the failure of SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) in investigating Adani Group’s violations, including the source of its investments and shell companies,” Ramesh stated in a post on X. Ramesh also emphasized that the Congress had previously raised concerns about the close ties between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Adani Group, alleging that the Prime Minister’s protection allowed the conglomerate to act with impunity. He reiterated that a credible investigation into the case was necessary, calling for the appointment of a new SEBI head to complete the securities law investigations and the formation of a JPC to probe the full extent of the scandal. The charges against Adani come as a blow to the conglomerate’s reputation, with US prosecutors accusing him and his associates of corrupt dealings in securing lucrative government contracts. The Adani Group has not yet responded to the allegations. The Congress also pointed out that the US authorities’ action against the Adani Group highlights the failure of Indian institutions, which they claim have been captured by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The US case is seen as part of efforts to address foreign corruption involving companies with ties to US investors or markets. The Adani Group is a multinational conglomerate involved in various sectors, including ports, energy, and renewable energy.
