West Bengal BJP worker found dead

KOLKATA
A BJP worker, Sheikh Bakibulla, was found dead under mysterious circumstances at his home in Goghat in Hooghly district on Saturday, sparking political tensions in the area.
The BJP has alleged that the death was not a suicide but a 'political murder'. The police have sent the body for a post-mortem and initiated a probe.
'In this specific case at Goghat police station, an FIR has been lodged against unknown persons under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (murder),' a high-ranking official of the West Bengal police told The Hindu.
Sheikh Abdullah, father of the deceased, said his son had earlier been associated with the Communist Party of India (Marxist). 'He was assaulted multiple times in the past,' he said.

"Multiple schemes have zero money like PM Awas Yojna, Jal Jeevan Mission.." :BJD slams BJP govt's first year in Odisha

Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India] June 22 (ANI): Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Bhrugu Baxipatra has criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)- led government for its performance in Odisha during its first year, claiming that the state has not received any substantial benefits. Speaking to the ANI, Baxipatra highlighted that the grant allocated to Odisha has decreased compared to the previous year. He also claimed that several major schemes, including the PM Awas Yojana and Jal Jeevan Mission, have been allocated zero funds. 'One year has been completed, but Odisha received no benefits... The grant that Odisha had to get decreased since last year... Multiple schemes have zero money like PM Awas Yojna, Jal Jeevan Mission...', Baxipatra said on Saturday. The BJD leader also expressed concern over the rising incidents of crimes against women and children in the state, with 15 rapes reported daily and over 26,000 FIRs filed in the past year. 'In the last year, Odisha has topped in atrocities on women and children. 15 rapes are happening each day and 26 to 28 thousand FIRs have been filed,' he added. Further, the BJD leader also expressed concern over the state's health crisis, citing the deaths of over 100 people from cholera and diarrhoea. He claimed that investment in the state has come to a standstill, with a significant drop from Rs 37,000 crores last year to just Rs 40 crores this year. Baxipatra also criticised the BJP government's vision for the state. 'Over 100 people have died from Cholera and Diarrhoea in the state... Investment has stopped - investment of Rs 37,000 crores came in last year, while not even Rs 40 crore was received this year, and Jharkhand has surpassed us in this... We worry that the truth of the state is not somehow reaching the Prime Minister.', Baxipatra stated. The BJD leader slammed the BJP government, saying it lacks vision. 'Odisha has witnessed 16% growth under Naveen Patnaik and according to the present vision document, there will be only 9% growth in 2036 when the state completes 100 years. The government has no vision, it does not know how to function, has no experience in administration and it is not ready to learn... They should take a tutorial class to run this government,' he said. Earlier, it was announced that in the absence of former Odisha Chief Minister and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) president Naveen Patnaik, the duties of the party office will be managed by its Political Affairs Committee. Additionally, Debi Prasad Mishra, Senior Vice President, Headquarters, will oversee the coordination of activities and programmes. The former CM has announced that he will undergo a medical procedure for cervical arthritis in Mumbai. In an office order issued on Wednesday, Patnaik stated that during his absence, the day-to-day affairs of the BJD will be managed by the party's Political Affairs Committee. Additionally, Debi Prasad Mishra, Senior Vice President, Headquarters, has been entrusted with coordinating activities and programmes between the various wings of the party. (ANI)

Tejasvi Surya slams Bengaluru Metro over fare hike, demands release of fare fixation report

BJP MP from Bengaluru South, Tejasvi Surya, has once again turned up the heat on the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), demanding that it immediately release the Fare Fixation Committee's (FFC) report, which led to the recent revision in Namma Metro ticket prices. Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya.(PTI) Also Read - Bengaluru bike taxi riders protest outside Vidhana Soudha to lift the ban, detained In a post on social media platform X, Surya questioned BMRCL's lack of transparency, asking why the report had not yet been made public despite repeated calls. He also took a broader swipe at the city's approach to public transport, saying it lacked vision, aesthetics, and respect for the commuter. 'Why are you not making it public? What is it that you want to hide?' the MP asked. 'This isn't a matter of national security. Commuters have the right to know what justified such steep fare hikes.' Surya said he had personally reminded BMRCL's Managing Director on Friday to disclose the committee's findings. The FFC is a statutory body constituted under the Metro Railways (Operations and Maintenance) Act, 2002, responsible for recommending fare structures. Drawing comparisons with international transit systems, Surya cited the Moscow Metro as a model example of urban mobility done right. He praised the Russian capital's metro for its ultra-high frequency (80-second intervals), dense radial connectivity, affordable pricing, and architecturally stunning stations. Also Read - Karnataka man kills wife for excessive watching of Instagram reels: Report 'Public transport isn't just about movement,' he wrote. 'It's about ambition, aesthetics, and respect for the commuter. But this sentiment is missing in Bengaluru.' He urged BMRCL to learn from global best practices and focus not only on operational efficiency but also on commuter experience and affordability. Surya reiterated that public transport in a growing urban centre like Bengaluru should be the cheapest, fastest, and most accessible mode of mobility, not a financial burden on its users. The recent fare revision by BMRCL has faced sharp criticism from regular metro users and urban mobility advocates alike. While the corporation has defended the move citing rising operational costs and expansion efforts, it has yet to explain how the fares were calculated — something the still-unreleased FFC report is expected to clarify.

India's queer politics isn't about Right vs Left. It's a matter of privilege

For queers on the Left, the very idea defies imagination. We love a good Caitlyn Jenner roast and know that Black Republicans exist because we've attempted to enjoy SNL once or twice, but we draw the line at gay Manuvadis. To be fair, the question holds: The white-picket ideals of conservatism don't really align with technicolour queerness. So, why are some queers Right-wing? In a university hostel room somewhere, a newly minted Left-liberal gay kid has just come across the question and can't quite wrap his head around it. How can you be queer and Right-wing? That's the hottest political question among the Indian queer community. It isn't whether you will vote for Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi. It is: How can you be queer and vote for the BJP? The answer is arrived at rather quickly: the Left is nothing if not efficient, at least when it comes to wokeness. As with everything else riddled with problems, the p-word is guilty here, too. When you have caste and class privilege, there are few things to strive for than the right to marry. (Clearly, the feminist movement hasn't managed to truly touch the gays.) But the vast majority of India's urban, upper caste queers—those who deign to leave the closet, at least—straddle a happy middle. My ex-best friend, for example, doesn't know his Right from his Left anymore. He grew up loving religion, reading Amish Tripathi books, and placing his hopes for a squeaky-clean India on the BJP. Now, he knows capitalism sucks and industries are killing the earth, but doesn't quite see himself as a Leftist: He's not nearly fond enough of tote bags. A few months ago, a bike-loving lesbian said she'd vote for the BJP because it might just fix the Delhi roads. But when asked about the larger politics behind that vote, she offered a humble 'I guess I stopped caring about what was happening out there.' To her, all parties are equally bad, but at least the BJP seems to be doing something. This batch of gays and lesbians has it all. They're politically promiscuous, religiously vague, and free to boo either side as and when required. Also read: Is there an Indian way to be gay? Most of us learn about queerness from American TV Being queer in a Trump world If Right-wing gays and transpersons are a walking contradiction for those on the Left, the latter are far too militant for those on the Right. They're disillusioned with the Left's infighting, its insistence on making labels and language the battleground, and how it has strict rules for how to be queer. 'I am conservative because I think the Left often goes too far with polarising gender issues. India's conservatism is more realistic than the Left,' said a 22-year-old social media executive who identifies as gay. A Delhi-based gay man who works in his family business thinks that the queer narrative in Indian Left is based on Western ideas. 'The whole pronouns game, where you can identify as anything… There are a lot of other ways we can handle these situations, but we cannot let the Western narrative control the conversation. These things are highly influenced by geopolitics—they've created a business out of it. They don't want to actually do anything,' he said. They're not entirely wrong about the self-righteousness and militancy of the Left. Even I've been known to run for the hills at the first sight of a janeu. But is queerness inherently Left? 'If you treat queerness as not just about who you love or sleep with, but rather as a political project, then obviously queerness leans more Left. And I don't think that queerness can ever align right, given its fundamental belief in equal rights,' said Anish Gawande, a national spokesperson for the NCP. 'Again, Right and Left are such vague terminologies in a Trump world,' he added. Gawande also reminded me that queerness in India is not necessarily a Right/Left issue as it is in the West. Mohan Bhagwat, for instance, has said that queer individuals are human beings. At the Hiroshima G7 summit in 2020, PM Modi talked about having made a new law to secure trans rights. One can see how some queer people might find space for themselves in the Indian Right wing. It remains a single-plank bridge, though. While the Left seeks to connect the queer struggle with that of caste and religious minorities, the Right sees it as a futile effort. 'If your goal is to cross a river and you stand on two boats instead of staying in one boat, do you think you can cross this river? You'll just fall in the middle,' said the Delhi-based businessman. India's queer politics isn't about a red pill vs blue pill divide. It plays out in vastly different ways across regions and for communities within the community. Perhaps the question we should be asking isn't 'How can someone be queer and Right-wing', but 'How can a queer political identity emerge in India?' Or better yet, does it need to? Views are personal.
