BJPs Praveen Khandelwal Critiques Congress on Redistricting and Coalition Politics

New Delhi, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : BJP Member of Parliament Praveen Khandelwal responded to various issues, including the special parliamentary session on the redistricting bill, the coalition between AIMIM and the Azad Samaj Party, and Farooq Abdullah’s appeal to curb terrorism from Pakistan. His comments were made during a meeting of the Confederation of All India Traders in New Delhi.

Khandelwal emphasized the necessity of redistricting, stating that as the population grows, it is vital to ensure new voters can participate in democracy. He criticized Congress for opposing the redistricting bill, labeling their stance as part of a “country-anti agenda” that should not be tolerated.

On Abdullah’s remarks regarding Pakistan, Khandelwal asserted that India’s sovereignty and unity cannot be compromised. He reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s consistent message that Pakistan must first improve its conduct before any diplomatic decisions are made.

Regarding the newly announced coalition between AIMIM and the Azad Samaj Party, Khandelwal dismissed its potential impact in Uttar Pradesh. He praised Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s efforts to enhance the state under Modi’s leadership and expressed confidence that the BJP would secure a significant majority in the upcoming elections.

Khandelwal also addressed concerns about the economic impact of protests across the country, including in Delhi. He noted that such demonstrations disrupt business activities, adversely affecting traders, street vendors, and the MSME sector.

To tackle these issues, Khandelwal announced that over 25 state trader leaders would gather in New Delhi to discuss the implications of protests on trade and livelihoods. He stressed the importance of balancing the right to protest with the constitutional right to conduct business and earn a living.
