Bengaluru, often hailed as the Silicon Valley of India, is a bustling metropolis that rarely comes to a standstill. However, on certain occasions, the city experiences bandhs (strikes) that can disrupt daily life and travel plans. During such times, it becomes crucial for airlines to step up and provide travelers with the information they need to ensure a smooth journey. Recently, airlines like Vistara and IndiGo, among others, issued travel advice to passengers during a Bengaluru bandh. Let’s explore the specifics of this guidance.

Understanding the Bengaluru Bandh

A bandh is a form of protest or strike where all business activities, including transportation, are temporarily suspended. In Bengaluru, bandhs can be called for various reasons, and they often lead to road closures, disruptions in public transportation, and limited access to essential services.

Vistara’s Travel Advice

Vistara, one of India’s prominent airlines known for its commitment to passenger comfort and safety, issued specific travel advice during the recent Bengaluru bandh:

Congress leader: “Kangana Ranaut once said she likes beef.” BJP retaliates

Published

on

A significant controversy ensued following Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized Maharashtra Opposition and Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar for claiming actor Kangana Ranaut’s post on Twitter about her beef preferences and the BJP’s decision to grant her a Lok Sabha election ticket.

Shaina NC, a BJP leader in Maharashtra, criticised Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar’s comments and other ludicrous remarks made by Congress leaders. She stated that Wadettiwar’s actions, including granting Kangana Ranaut a ticket due to her beef consumption, are not the first time Congress has made such ludicrous remarks.

Shaina criticizes Congress social media in-charge Supriya Shrinate’s post against Ranaut, claiming that Shrinate’s comments and Randeep Surjewala’s discussion about Hema Malini’s attributes are anti-women, despite her age.

Shaina pledged that all women would participate in the voting process, and the results on June 4 would provide a “fitting answer to Congress.”

The Prime Minister of India has ensured respect for women in various political parties, including Triple Talaq and Nari Shakti Vandan. If the Congress party lacks thought processes, the answer will be on June 4 when Indian women vote against the anti-woman Congress party.

Supriya Shrinate’s post that sparked controversy

Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who received a BJP ticket from the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh for the upcoming Lok Sabha election, sparked a massive controversy.

Kangana, in response to Shrinate’s post, emphasized that every woman deserves respect and dignity. She shared her 20-year career as an artist, which includes portraying various women, from naive girls in Queen to seductive spy in Dhaakad, goddesses in Manikarnika, demons in Chandramukhi, prostitutes in Rajjo, and revolutionary leaders in Thalaivii.

The Congress leader later revealed that someone with access to her social media accounts had posted objectionable content.

The Congress’s manifesto promised legal guarantees to MSP, a national minimum wage of ₹400 per day, and a nationwide caste census.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress for its Lok Sabha election manifesto, claiming it was influenced by the Muslim League.

Modi criticized Congress’s manifesto, which he said reflected the same mindset as the Muslim League’s during the freedom movement, at a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur, where voters will vote in the first phase of Lok Sabha elections on April 19.

The Congress manifesto is largely influenced by the Muslim League, with any remaining parts being dominated by leftists.

The Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, stated that the BJP government is committed to implementing government schemes that cater to all sections, castes, and communities.

Modi’s attack comes after the Congress released its general election manifesto, emphasizing the ‘five pillars of justice’, including ‘Yuva Nyay’, ‘Naari Nyay’, ‘Kisaan Nyay’, ‘Shramik Nyay’, and ‘Hissedari Nyay’.

The Congress has pledged legal guarantees for the minimum support price, a national minimum wage of ₹400 per day, personal law reform, and a nationwide caste census.

Congress has announced that the MSP payable to farmer-sellers at procurement centers and APMCs will be directly credited to the farmer’s bank account digitally.

The grand old party announced that Congress will create and execute a robust import-export policy for agricultural commodities, prioritizing the protection of farmers’ interests and concerns.

The Lok Sabha elections will commence on April 19, with subsequent phases scheduled for April 26, May 7, 13, 20, 25, and June 1, with the vote counting scheduled for June 4.

Fernandes, who previously lost to BJP’s Mauvin Godinho in the 2022 Goa legislative assembly polls, will face Pallavi Dempo, the first woman MP candidate named by the BJP, in the upcoming election.

Khalap represented the north Goa seat from 1996 to 1998, winning it for the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party.

Khalap, a seven-time MLA, is set to challenge BJP MP Shripad Naik for the North Goa seat, aiming to retain it for a sixth consecutive term.
