Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat, in an apparent reference to religious conversions, said on Sunday that missionaries take advantage of the situations wherein people feel that the society is not with them. He was addressing an event here, where he dedicated to the people the samadhi of Govindnath Maharaj. "We don't see our own people. We don't go to them and ask them. But some missionary from thousands of miles away comes and lives there, eats their food, speaks their language and then converts them," Bhagwat said.

The ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu has issued a legal notice against state BJP chief K Annamalai over his graft allegations against the party and its president MK Stalin. The DMK demanded an apology and damages to the tune of Rs 500 crore.

The notice, dated April 15, was issued by senior advocate and DMK Rajya Sabha MP, P Wilson, "under instructions" from Bharathi.

The legal notice stated that Annamalai, unable to make a political mark in Tamil Nadu, was attempting in various ways to defame DMK leaders and the 'DMK Files' video clip is only placing baseless accusations against them. The notice said that the asset value of DMK was exaggerated and shown as Rs 1,408.94 crore.

The Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR)-- an outfit that was formed to combat corruption and criminality in the political system-- filed a petition before the Supreme Court challenging the appointment of Arun Goel as Election Commissioner.   

The ADR has challenged the appointment on the grounds that the appointment is arbitrary and violative of institutional integrity and independence of the Election Commission Of India. 

According to the petition filed by ADR, the Union of India & Goel, through their acts of omissions and commission, participated in a carefully orchestrated 'selection procedure' for their own benefits. 

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday appealed to the people of West Bengal to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and ensure that it wins at least 35 out of the 42 seats in the state in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

Lashing out at the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) government for running a “Hitler-like regime”, Shah, who is on a two-day visit to the state, said if the BJP returns to power in 2024 by winning more than 35 seats in the state, “no one would dare to attack Ram Navami rallies in the state”.

“…The only way to remove the crime of ‘Didi-Bhatija’ is BJP. The only way to free Bengal of terror is BJP. The only way to stop infiltration in Bengal is BJP…Give us 35 seats in 2024, there will be no need for 2025 (West Bengal poll); before 2025 Mamata didi’s government will collapse,” Shah said addressing the ‘Jan Sampark Samavesh’ rally in Birbhum.
