Chandrababu Naidu To Meet HD Deve Gowda, HD Kumaraswamy

by

Telugu Desam Party supremo and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who is trying to unite opposition parties to take on BJP in the Lok Sabha elections next year, will meet former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda and Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy on Thursday.
Mr Naidu will meet Mr Gowda at his residence at Padmanabha Nagar and Mr Kumaraswamy would also be present during the meeting, JD(S) said on Wednesday.

Mr Naidu’s meeting with the JD(S) supremo comes in the backdrop of Congress-JD(S) coalition resolving to contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections together against the BJP, buoyed by the victory in the bypolls.

The Congress-JD(S) coalition in Karnataka on Tuesday won two of the three Lok Sabha seats and both assembly constituencies in the fiercely fought by-polls, giving a shot in the arm to the ruling combine that faces frequent questions about its longevity.

BJP had managed to hold on to the Shivamogga Lok Sabha seat.

The electoral sweep by the ruling coalition comes as a boost to it as the by-polls were seen as a barometer of the public mood ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

Mr Naidu had called his Karnataka counterpart over the phone on Tuesday and congratulated the latter on the JD(S)-Congress combine’s “spectacular victory” in the by-elections.

JD(S) lawmaker Mr Sharavana said Mr Naidu’s meeting with HD Deve Gowda’s in continuation of the discussions the Andhra Chief Minister was holding with “secular” party leaders across the country.

“The bypoll results that have come are a good development as people of state have understood the need for secular forces. He (Naidu) is expected to seek Deve Gowda’s cooperation,” he added.

Mr Naidu had also recently met NCP chief Sharad Pawarand National Conference president Farooq Abdullah, among others.

On the second anniversary of demonetisation, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday slammed the central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi for cheating the nation with the note-ban “scam”.

Calling it a dark day, Banerjee tweeted: “The government cheated our nation with this big #Demonetisation scam. It ruined the economy and the lives of millions. People will punish those who did this.”

The Centre had on the day in 2016, at 8 p.m. announced a ban on the currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 in a sudden move that took everyone by surprise, restricting availability of money for the next two days and taking months to return to normal.

“#DarkDay today is the second anniversary of #DeMonetisation disaster. From the moment it was announced I said so. Renowned economists, common people and all experts now all agree,” Banerjee added.

Ulfa’s Anup Chetia dismisses Paresh Baruah death claims

by

Guwahati The United Liberation Front of Asom’s (Ulfa) pro-talk faction’s General Secretary, Anup Chetia on Wednesday dismissed media reports that said Paresh Baruah, the commander-in-chief of the rebel group’s anti-talk faction, has died.

Assam-based news portals on Wednesday reported that Baruah met with an accident and succumbed to his injuries last week in Ruili, located on the Myanmar-China border.

“I do not think that there is truth in the news. Paresh Baruah met with an accident about three months back in Ruili while he was on a motorcycle. However, he called me up at least three times after that and told me that he was recovering,” Chetia told IANS on phone.

“He told me that there some of his bones and a toe was fratctured. I received a call from him last Sunday which I could not receive as I was in a meeting. So, considering all these facts I do not think that the news of his death is true.”

Chetia said that it was basically a one way communication between him and Paresh Baruah always.

“We cannot contact him, it is always he who contacts me. I think nothing untoward has happened with him,” Chetia said.

Assam Police and intelligence officials were yet to confirm the news of death of the Ulfa leader.

The Ulfa was divided into two factions after some leaders of the outfit including chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa, were arrested in Bangladesh and were handed over to Indian authorities.

These leaders later decided to sit for peace talks while the faction led by Baruah decided to continue the armed struggle for a “sovereign” Assam.

Chetia, who was in a jail in Bangladesh, was extradited to India later and he also decided to join the faction who is negotiating the peace talks.
