Rahul Visited JNU,Supported Agitation &Accused NDA of Suppressing Voice

[New Delhi] Rahul Visited JNU,Voiced Solidarity With Agitating Students And Accused NDA of Suppressing Students Voice. ABVP Activists Showed Black Flags
Rahul Gandhi accused NDA government of “suppressing” students’ voice as he visited the JNU campus On 13th Feb to express solidarity with them, a day after the arrest of its students’ union president Kanhaiya Kumar in a sedition case.
The Congress Vice President, who had yesterday accused the Modi government of “bullying” the institution, scaled up the attack saying “most anti-national are people, who are suppressing the voice of students in this institution”.
Accompanied by Delhi PCC chief and former Union minister Anand Sharma, Rahul interacted with the agitating students and lauded the university for representing free voice.
Drawing parallel between the actions against students in JNU and events leading to the suicide of Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula in Hyderabad University, he said the question is why a student is “not allowed to say what he believes in”.
Noting that India is progressing because more and more people are raising their voice, Rahul said that everybody has a right to disagree.
In his speech marked by frequent disruptions, Rahul said that he will be happy to see even people from RSS and BJP express their opinion.
Training his guns on the government, he said, “They will not understand that in crushing you, they are making you stronger.”
His visit was opposed by members of ABVP, who waved black flags when he spoke. Taking note of it, he said, “People who showed black flags on my face, I feel proud that in my country they have the right to show black flags

Congress Postmortem Fake Budget By Delhi’s Fake Degree Government

[New Delhi]Congress,Postmortem Delhi’s Fake Budget by Fake Degree Government.
Ajay Maken Said that Delhi AAP Govt ,through this budget ,is creating ground for confrontation with Centre
Congress today slammed the “fake” budget tabled by “inexperienced” AAP government saying their promises of setting up new schools and hospitals will require land which will again put the state government in direct confrontation with the Centre.
Maken said This is a fake budget by fake degree Government. In its budget, the Government has shown 32 per cent rise in tax revenue, which was only 2 per cent last year.
It has shown 75 per cent rise in non-tax revenue, which was in negative last fiscal. So, the proposed tax and VAT collection and rise in non tax revenue is not going to realise and hence, this is a fake budget,” Maken told reporters.
He claimed that prices of food and other items are set to shoot up in Delhi as goods and food items coming from outside will be taxed even as there is ban on farming along banks of Yamuna River.
Price of each item will go up and the Arvind Kejriwal Government only is responsible for this
Maken further questioned the “inexperienced” AAP Government saying how it will arrange for space for constructing depots for 10,000 additional buses as promised, increasing as many new beds in hospitals and setting up new schools.
“These facilities can come up only when Centre makes available space for it. So, all these things are not going to happen and these people are going to fight with Centre saying they wanted to work, but Centre did not allow us,
The former Union Minister added that the Government has made a “very little” budgetary provision for skill development to compliment job generation.
Speaking to media persons here, Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken also claimed that by making promises like providing additional buses, beds and schools – which will require land to be fulfilled – the AAP Government has prepared itself for another battle with Centre.
He said Land in Delhi falls under jurisdiction of Central Government and hence, if AAP fails to keep the promises, it can get away by blaming Centre,
