Union Home Minister Amit Shah had a narrow escape on Tuesday when a 'rath' in which he was travelling came in contact with an electricity wire in Rajasthan's Nagaur. The incident occurred when Shah's cavalcade was moving to Parbatsar from Bidiyad village to address an election rally. While passing through a lane with shops and houses on both sides in Parbatsar, the upper portion of his 'rath' (specially designed vehicle) touched the power line which led to a spark and the subsequent snapping of the wire.
Terming the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led government in Telangana and the Congress as "anti-Backward Class (BC)," Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said there are three things common in the DNA of the grand old party and the BRS- dynastic rule, corruption and appeasement. Speaking at "BC Atma Gourava Sabha" (backward classes self-respect meeting) at the LB Stadium here, Modi appealed to people saying that there is a need to throw out the "anti-BC government" in Telangana, in the November 30 Assembly polls. The Congress and the BRS with a dynastic nature will never make a Backward Classes leader the chief minister of Telangana, Modi alleged. He said Congress is a "C" team of the BRS and both have the same DNA.
