Delhi deserves to be developed as Dream city - Grewal

New Delhi , 29 November 2013 -
National BJP Leader Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal said that as national capital Delhi and its citizens fully deserved to be accorded a special treatment for developing it as a Dream City of the world. He said but the Congress party turned it into a Slum Center and defamed it as a Crime Capital of the world. Talking with the media persons here today, Grewal said that we Indian wants to be proud of Delhi as our national capital and wants to see it as the most beautiful city in the world. He said but money that should have gone into turning Delhi into a Model Mega City actually went into the coffers of scamsters and land mafia, coal mafia, with Delhi citizens having to face the embarrassment of Commonwealth Games scam. Grewal said that now the people of Delhi were waiting to punish the Congress party for its biggest sin of bringing disgrace to the national Capital through its massive misrule and bringing it a bad name as the crime capital of the world. He said the people of Delhi are in no mood to forgive the Congress party. Grewal said the massive misrule and utter lack of political and official will has led to Delhi administration resembling a "JUNGAL RAJ". He said that the assembly poll would prove to be a semi-final before the eventual final match leading to a change in the Centre Level. He said the election and the Lok Sabha election will go down in history as "NARENDRA MODI ELECTIONS" in the Indian History. He said now Congress party is facing scourge of a heavy anti-incumbency on the one hand and an unprecedented MODI WAVE blowing through the length and the breadth of the country on the other. The forward looking people of the national capital want to be the first to usher in Narendra Modi era. Grewal said that the Indian youth is playing a leading role in the Modi wave which will sweep the Congress out of the scene. He said that I have never seen such enthusiasm in the youth as I am seeing in Delhi during this election.  Grewal said that they all are really eager to rewrite the history of Delhi and the country and they have found a most forceful icon in Narendra Modi to fulfill their dreams of a strong and prosperous India. He said our capital is a place where people get the most expensive electricity, cooking gas, essential commodities like atta, pulses, vegetables such as tomato, onions, and other commodities like milk. It was heading for the biggest defeat in its history in the forthcoming assembly poll in Delhi.

Congress is saving Teheleka Editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal - Grewal

Ludhiana , 22 November 2013 -

National Secretary BJP Kisan Morcha Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal lashes out at Congress party saying that it sees no reason why a mere apology by Tarun Tejpal and stepping down for 6 months from the post of Editor-in-chief be accepted as sufficient. Grewal in fact held the Congress party responsible for trying to protect Tarun Tejpal by putting up a fake action. Grewal said everybody is shocked and horrified at the latest revelations about acts of criminality by Teheleka Editor-in-chief Tarun Tejpal. In a press statement here today, he said that it is ironical that at a time when a state was being questioned for giving protection to a woman when her family sought protection and she was in complete knowledge of the same a woman journalist is being denied any help by the Congress or the authorities like the NCW and the Press Council of India. Grewal said that there are the two situations involving two women cannot be compared the morality of the Congress and its surrogates can be questioned in handling the two situations. He said that the flip-flop of NCW and the Congress party on all such issues involving women is condemnable. He said when a young journalist who happens to be daughter of a senior journalist is seeking redressal of an abhorrent crime admittedly perpetrated by the Editor-in-chief  himself some sections of the media choose to ignore her plea brushing the entire issue under the carpet. Grewal said that it comes as a disturbing fact is that some of the media houses were busy writing and organizing a campaign to harm the reputation of an innocent victim who had sought protection to protect her honour and dignity at a time she was well-settled in her married life and pleaded for anonymity. He said that clearly it seems to be a case of political vendetta to settle scores by side stepping the key issues like governance and corruption and scams. Grewal said that if the Congress party points a finger on the Gujarat Government for having provided security to a woman to protect her from such crimes. He said why has it remained silent on the 9 MLA' S in Rajasthan who are facing serious charges like rape, murder, and sexual assault. He said that the cases relating to Rajasthan Ministers like Parasnath Maderna have failed to elicit a response from either the Congress party or its surrogates. Grewal said that the conduct of Tarun Tejpal falls under the category of rape as per the amended law in 2013, Sexual assault of this nature would fall within the definition of rape under Section 375 of the IPC. Grewal said that the letter from the girl in question to Shoma Chaudhary, Managing Editor of Tehelka, clearly brings out the trauma which she suffered at the hands of Tarun Tejpal, owner and Editor of Tehelka. Grewal said that Tejpal, through his atonement letter has sought the paid holiday of 6 months by recusing himself from the Editorship of magazine, Can atonement for a criminal act like this be granted. He said if it is granted, it should take place within the jail premises. Grewal said even though Tarun Tejpal has admitted to having committed the crime sending him away from Tehelka is not a befitting punishment at all considering the serious nature and assault on his own woman staffer. Grewal said in the end, while the dignified ladies from the Congress party were anointing themselves as a guardian to a woman who sought anonymity, sensationalizing her ordeal, dragging her in the newspapers and TV channels, a serious crime, admittedly perpetrated by a senior Editor-in-chief is being ignored by the Congress party.  The least they can do is to demand registration of a criminal case against Tarun Tejpal. He said that the woman journalist in Tehelka in her e-mail to Shoma Chaudhary has revealed the perverse criminal behaviour and nature. He said that the issue needs to be taken to a logical conclusion so that such acts do not recur in future. Will Tehelka answer if a mechanism to prevent sexual harassment at work place, in keeping with the legal provisions, was put in place in their media organisation. He said that Tarun Tejpal has been accused of sexually assaulting a junior journalist during the think festival in Goa. Chief Minister Goa Manohar Parrikar has already ordered a probe and the police may summon Tarun Tejpal for trial under criminal offences.

No question of rethink on Modi as PM instead in our party BJP - Grewal

Samrala - 18 November 2013
BJP Kisan Morcha National Secretary and Parbhari Himachal Pradesh Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal said that there is no question of rethink on Modi as PM instead in our party BJP. He said that Congress party dirty tricks behind statements rather Congress should clarify its candidate as PM. Grewal said that politics is not dirty but the statements of the leaders are making it. Lambasting over Congress party dirty tricks BJP in a significant statement ruled out any rethink in Gujarat CM Narendra Modi as the party PM Candidate. Talking with the media persons here today Grewal remarks in the wake of reports on two websites which claimed that illegal surveillance of a young woman had been ordered by former minister of state for home Amit Shah at the behest of his SAHEB seen as a veiled reference to Modi. Dismissing the allegations the National Secretary said there is no question in our party BJP of doing a rethink on our PM candidate even if a thousand baseless allegations of this kind are made against Narendra Modi. He said that BJP had on Friday circulated a statement issued by the father of the woman concerned that he had himself approached Modi to seek surveillance. This was because she was in Ahmedabad to tend to her ailing mother and needed to commute at odd hours. Grewal said that BJP's National President Rajnath Singh’s strong support for Modi is significant as he has backed the chief minister for the PM post in the face of opposition from party heavyweights like L K Advani, and this will help Modi against those in the party who have argued that he will be a controversial nominee. The Gujarat CM has maintained a silence on the allegations, which are bound to worsen the bad blood between Congress and the main opposition, with BJP having repeatedly accused the Centre of using CBI to target Modi. Grewal said that our party BJP had already said much earlier that we apprehend that the dirty tricks wing of Congress will make such baseless allegations against Modi as the elections draw near Instead Congress should clarify as to who is its PM candidate.
