The states that form the Hindi heartland include Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand.

Former Indian prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh accused current PM Narendra Modi of indulging in the most vicious form of hate speeches, which are purely divisive in nature.

Former Indian prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh accused current PM Narendra Modi of indulging in the most vicious form of hate speeches, which are purely divisive in nature. With just one phase of voting left for the Lok Sabha elections, Dr Singh addressed a letter to the voters in the Indian state of Punjab. In the letter, which was shared by the Congress on X on Thursday (May 30), Singh said, "Modi is the first prime minister to lower the dignity of public discourse, and thereby the gravity of the office of the PM. "No prime minister in the past has uttered such hateful, unparliamentary and coarse terms, meant to target either a specific section of the society or the opposition," Singh said, adding, that Modi attributed false statements to him. Modi had accused Singh of saying that Muslims have the first right to the country’s resources.

That is the sole copyright of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)," Singh said. 'BJP left no stone unturned in castigating Punjab' Singh further said in his letter that in the last 10 years, the BJP left no stone unturned in "castigating Punjab, Punjabis and Punjabiyat." Talking about the 2020-2021 farmers' protest against the Centre's farm laws which have now been scrapped, Singh said that most of the farmers who died belonged to Punjab. "As if the lathis and the rubber bullets were not enough, none less than the Prime Minister verbally assaulted our farmers by calling them "Andolanjeevis" and "Parjeevi" (Parasites) on the floor of the Parliament," the former prime minister added. “In the past ten years, the BJP government has left no stone unturned in castigating Punjab, Punjabis and Punjabiyat. 750 farmers, mostly belonging to Punjab, were martyred while incessantly waiting at Delhi borders, for months together. As if the lathis and the rubber bullets… pic.twitter.com/xJZQrsT3f8 — Congress (@INCIndia) May 30, 2024 × "Their only demand was the withdrawal of the three farm laws imposed on them without consulting them,” he further said and pointed out that Modi's policies in the last 10 years eroded the earnings of farmers. The former PM further appealed to Punjab's voters to vote for the Congress. "Only the Congress can ensure a growth-oriented progressive future, where democracy and the Constitution shall be safeguarded.' (With inputs from agencies)

Prime Minister Narendra Modi once again accused the 'INDIA' bloc of indulging in "vote bank politics"&nbsp;in yet another veiled dig at the Congress party's purported minority-centric policy viewpoints. Modi accused Congress of undermining the constitutional rights of Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in an interview with news agency ANI.

"I want to alert the SC, ST and Other Backward Class people because by keeping them in darkness they (Opposition) are looting them. Election is such a time, that I should make the countrymen aware of the biggest crisis that is coming. Therefore, I have been explaining this to the people. The basic spirit of the Constitution of India is being violated and that too for the sake of vote bank politics. Those who call themselves the well-wishers of Dalits, Tribals, are in reality their staunch enemies. There is an imprint of the Muslim League in their manifesto. Do you want to destroy the coming generations also for the sake of vote bank? I will fight for the rights of my Dalit, Tribal, and OBC brothers and sisters. And that's why I am fighting the battle," he told ANI.&nbsp;

Election Commission of India (ECI) on Wednesday (May 22) asked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda and Indian National Congress (INC) chief Mallikarjun Kharge to issue formal notes to star campaigners to correct their discourse, exercise care and maintain decorum.&nbsp;

The Election Commission asked the parties to desist from campaigning along the lines of caste, community, language and religion during the Lok Sabha election.&nbsp;

The unprecedented orders to BJP and INC came in the wake of the deteriorating quality of campaigning led by some of their star campaigners.&nbsp;

The ECI said, "Elections are a process where political parties not only contest to win but also present themselves in their ideal best for the voting community to experience, emulate, and build hopes on."&nbsp;

"The second part constitutes a precious heritage of Indian elections and our electoral democracy, which should not be weakened by anyone, including your party," it added.&nbsp;

The poll watchdog rejected Nadda's defence and asked him and his party's star campaigners to desist from campaigning on religious and communal lines almost a month after it issued notice to the BJP president on an opposition charge that PM Modi gave a divisive speech in Rajasthan's Banswara.

The EC also issued a similar notice to Kharge. It asked him to respond to the complaints filed by the BJP against him and the main opposition party's senior leader Rahul Gandhi regarding their remarks. It asked the opposition to ensure statements are not being made that may give false impressions such as regarding the Constitution of India.&nbsp;

"After such careful consideration and also in the context of the foregoing, the Commission, in totality of the material before it, as narrated above finds that the defence offered on alleged utterances, not tenable," said EC in separate letters to Nadda and Kharge.&nbsp;
