'Budhiya': BJP leader's jibe at Congress rival goes viral, sparks row | Watch

Uttarakhand BJP chief is under fire for calling Leader of Opposition 'Budhiya' (old woman).

BJP's Bansidhar Bhagat publicly called senior Congress leader Indira Hridayesh a 'Budhiya'.

Bhagat was addressing BJP workers at an event in Nainital's Bhimtal on Tuesday evening.

Video of the state BJP chief's address soon began to make rounds on social media.

It came while Bhagat was responding to a recent claim made by the 79-year-old Congress leader.

Hridayesh had said that several BJP MLAs were in touch with the grand old party eyeing a switch.

Bhagat's use of the term was perceived to be derogatory by the Congress party.

Congress leaders demanded an immediate apology while some party members burnt bhagat's effigy.

Reacting sharply to the statement, Hridayesh said she was 'hurt and saddened' with the kind of language used.

Amid furore over the incident, CM Trivendra Singh Rawat apologised to Hridayesh on Twitter and said he would call her on Wednesday to apologise again.

Maharashtra Election Results: Adani and Dharavi Issues Fail in MH Election | Mahayuti | BJP |

In the Maharashtra elections, the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is emerging as a strong winner. Despite the heated debate around the Dharavi issue and Adani's involvement, these topics did not resonate with voters. High-profile leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Uddhav Thackeray, and Aditya Thackeray raised various allegations, but these issues failed to sway the electorate in the way they were expected to. With the Mahayuti securing a significant victory, the political landscape of Maharashtra remains firmly in the hands of the BJP and its allies. #MaharashtraElectionResult #MaharashtraElection2024 #ElectionResultLive #MaharashtraElectionResults2024 #AssemblyElectionResults #MaharashtraAssemblyElectionResult #LiveElectionResult #MaharashtraResultsLive #ElectionResults2024 #MaharashtraPolls2024 #LiveResultsMaharashtra #MaharashtraAssemblyResults #ElectionResultUpdates #MaharashtraVotes2024 #AssemblyPollsResults ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.336~GR.122~

Jharkhand Assembly Poll Results: Find out what factors decided the previous government of Jharkhand

The previous Jharkhand Assembly elections were decided by a mix of socio-economic and political factors that resonated deeply with the state's voters. Key issues included tribal welfare, unemployment, rural development, and land rights, which became decisive in swaying public opinion. The JMM-Congress-RJD alliance successfully leveraged its tribal connect and promises of inclusive governance, securing significant support from rural and marginalised communities. Meanwhile, the BJP's focus on development projects and infrastructure faced backlash from anti-incumbency sentiments and dissatisfaction over economic policies. #jharkhandelection #maharashtraelectionresult2024 #electionresults2024 #votecounting #liveresults #liveelectionresults #assemblyelectionresult #jharkhandresult #jharkhandelectionresult #jharkhandelectionresultlive #jharkhandelection2024 #electionresults #brekingnews #maharashtraelection2024 #livenews ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.103~GR.121~

Maharashtra Election Result: Mahayuti’s Huge Lead, Silence Around Matoshree | MVA Accepts Loss?

The Maharashtra assembly election results reveal a commanding lead for the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance, signalling a decisive victory. As the numbers roll in, celebrations have erupted in Mahayuti strongholds, while a tense silence looms over Matoshree, the residence of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray. Early trends indicate the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance struggling to keep pace, with key constituencies slipping from their grasp. Senior MVA leaders have hinted at accepting the public mandate, as internal discussions begin on the road ahead for the coalition. ~HT.318~PR.152~GR.121~ED.103~
