Škoda Auto India Announces the Next Leg of the Name Your Škoda campaign for Its All- New Compact SUV

By 121 News
Chandigarh, March 30, 2024:- Škoda Auto India has already ushered in the New Era with the announcement of the all-new compact SUV. Taking a stride further into the New Era with user engagement and involvement, the company has also announced 'Name Your Škoda', a campaign where participants contribute to what the name of Škoda's all-new compact SUV will be. 
Speaking at the announcement, Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India, said that India is driving growth for Škoda Auto globally. The key enablers of this so far have been the first products specifically developed for India – the Kushaq and the Slavia. These cars, apart from being built on an India-specific platform, have also been named keeping legacy, heritage and culture in mind. Kushaq, for instance, is from the Sanskrit word for an emperor. Slavia is the name of Škoda's first ever product, a bicycle. The naming process of a car is important for us. With 'Name Your Škoda' we want to extend this tradition to our upcoming all-new SUV and want the people, customers and fans to be involved in the naming process of their new car. We look forward to people across India embracing our new family member, which is locally developed, locally engineered and locally manufactured.
The initiative: 'Name Your Škoda' is a campaign that enables the involvement and engagement of users, customers and the Fans of Škoda in picking the name for a car that will hit the roads in 2025. This is a step further in Škoda Auto India's endeavour for listening to people, fans and customers.
An endeavour that began with the MQB-A0-IN platform – that is developed with a focus on safety (developed with a 5 star Global NCAP rating in mind), on reasonable cost of ownership (including insurance) while retaining the Škoda DNA of design, agility and dynamics --and Škoda Auto India's customer touchpoint expansion to be closer and more accessible to customers.
The naming tradition: It is a tradition going back to the company's first ever full-fledged 7-seater luxury 4x4, the Kodiaq, in 2017. The name reflects the qualities of both, the Kodiak bear and the Kodiak Archipelago to the south of Alaska, USA that it inhabits. The nomenclature is a reflection of the beauty, grandeur and toughness of both the bear and the terrain it calls home. The Škoda Kushaq takes this legacy forward and the all-new compact SUV, that will make its world debut in India in March 2025, will also follow Škoda's SUV family naming tradition.
The next leg - Polling contest: Through 'Name Your Škoda', participants have suggested names for the compact SUV that begins with the letter 'K' and ends with the letter 'Q' with one or two syllables. The campaign resulted in over 1,30,000 names with close to 20,000 unique names.
In the next leg, participants can visit the campaign microsite, nameyourskoda.com and cast votes for the shortlisted names and also suggest new ones if not done already. Participants can also share their favourite name with #NameYourSkoda on Facebook, Instagram or X (formerly Twitter) channels.
The winner of this naming contest stands the opportunity of owning this all-new Škoda compact SUV - being one of the first owners when it hits roads in the first half of 2025. Another 10 winners will get to visit Škoda Auto in Mlada Boleslav including the very impressive Škoda Museum, and also a tour of Prague, one of the most attractive cities in Europe.
The next leg of the campaign starts from March 28, 2024 and runs till April 12, 2024. The 'Name Your Škoda' aims at inculcating a sense of pride and belonging among participants whenever they see this all-new SUV on the roads after its world debut in India.
The Jury:  The jury for this campaign comprises of -Martin Jahn - Member of the Board of Management for Sales & Marketing, Škoda Auto
Piyush Arora - Managing Director and CEO, Škoda Auto Volkswagen India
Jan Bures – Executive Director, Sales, Marketing and Digital, Škoda Auto Volkswagen India
Petr Janeba - Brand Director, Škoda Auto India

The labs will assist students with better access to technology, internet, and timely career guidance, and prepare them with future-ready skills.

Thousands of private schools in the state will not be allowed to close down, we will struggle against oppressive policies: Dr. Kulbhushan Sharma

By 121 News
Chandigarh, March 30,2024:-
Dr. Kulbhushan Sharma, the president of the National Independent Schools Alliance (NISA) and the Federation of Private School Welfare Association, Haryana, said at a press conference in Chandigarh that private schools, which play a crucial role in education, have become victims of wrong policies and authoritarianism. As a result, nearly 4,500 private schools in the state are on the verge of closure. Along with this, one lakh teachers and fourth-grade employees associated with these schools are also on the verge of unemployment. NISA and the federation will not let this happen. Schools will not be closed at any cost. For this, NISA will seek refuge in the high court and will vehemently oppose oppressive policies. During the media interaction, leaders such as Santosh Bhargava, Surendar Yadav, Ashwani Sharma, and Devendra Arora were also present.

Private school operators are becoming victims of wrong policies.
Dr. Kulbhushan Sharma said that due to wrong policies, thousands of private schools and one lakh teachers and Class IV employees associated with them have plunged into darkness. Among these teachers, 80% are women who sustain their families on their salaries.

Dr. Sharma said that the government claims it can run schools in two shifts. The truth is that there are many government schools like this with only one room. All government schools lack basic facilities.

On one hand, the government says it will admit children from closing private schools to government schools. I believe this is dictatorship. Has the government consulted children and their parents, obtained their consent, or is it imposing its decision on them? This is wrong. This is a unilateral action by the government. It is a decision full of discrimination.

The atmosphere of lawlessness has been created in the field of education.
Santosh Bhargava from Hisar said that due to wrong decisions, an atmosphere of lawlessness has been created in the field of education.

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini should take cognizance of the entire matter and take action to resolve the issue. A check on authoritarianism is needed in Haryana. Those who have submitted wrong affidavits in this matter should be noticed by the government. People's representatives are for the welfare of the people. They are not meant to harass them.

Dr. Kulbhushan Sharma, National President of NISA, said that not a single private school will be allowed to close down. For this, NISA and the federation will go to the high court and plead for justice. Dr. Sharma said that rules have been set for both private and government schools in the Right to Education. In such a situation, how fair is it to target only private schools by citing rules? Why is this discrimination being done? NISA and the federation will struggle in every possible way for justice. Hisar's legal advisor associated with the federation, Santosh Bhargava, said that the legal study of this entire matter is being done. Several petitions will soon be filed in the high court regarding this matter.

एक साधारण और शाही जीवन व्यतीत किया सरदारनी राजिंदर कौर ने

By 121 News
Chandigarh, Mar.27, 2024:-
अपने जीवन में साइकिल और फिएट कारों सहित सभी प्रकार की कारों और जहाजों में यात्रा करने वाली बीबा राजिंदर कौर का जन्म 15 अगस्त 1954 को शाही शहर कहे जाने वाले शहर पटियाला में माता जसवन्त कौर और पिता महिंदर के घर हुआ था।  सरदारनी राजिंदर कौर ने 1976 में पटियाला में एस. करनैल सिंह से शादी की। सरल, सहज, मिलनसार एवं दयालु स्वभाव उनका व्यक्तित्व रहा है। उनके दो बेटे और एक बेटी हैं जिनमें हरप्रीत सिंह जस्सोवाल चंडीगढ़ के पत्रकार हैं जबकि छोटा बेटा जगदीप सिंह और बेटी अमरिंदर कौर दोनों ऑस्ट्रेलिया में बसे हैं। 
सरदारनी राजिंदर कौर कहती थीं कि मुंह बंद करने और पेट में गांठ बनाने से घर और परिवार बनता है और हर माता-पिता की सबसे बड़ी जिम्मेदारी अपने बच्चों का पालन-पोषण और उन्हें उचित पालन-पोषण और अच्छे संस्कार देकर बड़ा करना है। माता-पिता बच्चों को घूरते रहते हैं, इसी में बच्चों का कल्याण है। 
सभी बच्चों का अपने माता-पिता के प्रति एक समान प्रेम होता है, चाहे वे अपने माता-पिता के साथ रहते हों या चाहे वे सात समंदर पार किसी विदेशी धरती पर रहते हों। इसी तरह, वे अक्सर इस बात का जिक्र करते थे कि जीवन की सफलता अपने हाथों से किए कामों के माध्यम से ही मिलती है। अंतिम सांस तक शरीर को गतिशील रखने के लिए हमें अपने हाथों और पैरों से कड़ी मेहनत करते रहना चाहिए। जिंदगी के अपने अनुभव साझा करते हुए वह अकसर कहा करते थे कि जीवन में आपका बुरा समय और अमीर बनने के बाद जो गरीबी आई, वह अजनबियों से नहीं बल्कि खुद की पहचान से आती है।
राजिंदर कौर जी ने अपने बचपन से लेकर स्कूल छोड़ने तक का सफर देश के बेहतरीन शहरों शिमला, चंडीगढ़ और पटियाला में बिताया। अपने निजी अनुभव से वह कहती थीं कि आप जहां भी रह रहे हों या विदेश जा रहे हों, वहां की भाषा, खान-पान और वहां के मौसम का आपको ज्ञान होना बहुत जरूरी है।  इंसान चाहे कितना भी अमीर क्यों न हो जाए, भले ही दुनिया के किसी भी कोने में रहने चला जाए, लेकिन अपने घर, परिवार और अपनी मिट्टी से उसका प्यार शाश्वत रहता है। किसी भी व्यक्ति के लिए युवावस्था में ऊबना आसान होता है, लेकिन बचपन और बुढ़ापे में ऊबना मुश्किल हो जाता है।
मेरी मां ने खुद अस्पताल में कहा था कि मौत कभी किसी आरोप को अपने सिर पर नहीं लेती, इंसान खुद ही मौत के मुंह में चला आता है, लेकिन यह भी सच है कि डॉक्टरों को दूसरा भगवान कहा जाता है, लेकिन उस पहले भगवान, दूसरे भगवान की मर्जी के बिना। भगवान जानता है कि डॉक्टर एक पत्ता भी नहीं हिला सकते, स्वभाव और आदतें बचपन से आपके साथ चलती हैं और आखिरी सांस तक आपके साथ रहती हैं, इसे बदलना किसी व्यक्ति के बस की बात नहीं है।
जब मेरी मां खन्ना अपने घर से ऑस्ट्रेलिया जा रही थीं, तब एक जिंदा इंसान को इस बात का बिलकुल भी अहसास नहीं था कि जिस घर से वह राजीखुशी विदेश जा रही है, उस घर में वापस लौटने का उसे कभी सौभाग्य नहीं मिलेगा। 
बीबा राजिंदर कौर अक्सर विदेश में ऑस्ट्रेलिया जाती रहती थीं, इस बार भी वह लगभग एक साल वहां बिताने के बाद ऑस्ट्रेलिया चली गईं, जब वह भारत लौटीं तो लगभग एक या दो दिन छोड़कर 7 मार्च से 24 मार्च तक अस्पतालों में रहीं। वहां उन्होंने ऑस्ट्रेलिया से जल्दी भारत जाने की जिद की और टिकट कटाकर भारत आ गए, लेकिन वहां अपने बेटे और बेटी से मिले और कुछ दिन अपने बेटे के साथ रहे और इस दुनिया को अलविदा कह गए।

हार्ट अटैक की समस्या के बाद भी वह ठीक हो गए थे, इससे पहले भी उनके बाइपास सर्जरी समेत करीब सात ऑपरेशन हुए थे और उनका एक बाल भी नहीं गिरा था, लेकिन अचानक से टांगों में रक्चचाप कम होने से उनका निधन हो गया।  अस्पताल में भर्ती होने के दौरान मैंने जब उनसे पूछा कि वह ठीक हैं तो उन्होंने कहा, हां अब मैं काफी ठीक हूं, लेकिन 23 मार्च की रात और 24 मार्च की उस मनहूस तारीख को उन्होंने कहा, "अब मैं ठीक नहीं हूं!"
इससे पहले उन्होंने बातचीत के दौरान ये भी बताया था कि ''कुछ लोग मुझे प्लास्टिक बैग में बंद कर रहे हैं!'' उनके द्वारा कही गई ये बात कुछ समय बाद सच हो गई. मेरी मां अक्सर कहा करती थीं कि ''हालांकि मेरे 32 दांत नहीं हैं, लेकिन मैं जो कहती हूं वह अक्सर सच होती है/'' उन्होंने अपनी मौत के बारे में जो कहा था वह भी सच साबित हुआ। गौरतलब है कि उनके बच्चे, पोते-पोतियां और बेटियां अक्सर उन्हें प्यार से बीबा कहकर बुलाते थे। 
कुछ दिन बिमार रहने के पश्चात आखिरकार रविवार 24 मार्च 2024 को 70 वर्ष की आयु में वह इस नश्वर संसार को अलविदा कहकर गुरु चरणों में विराज गए। 
उनकी अंतिम अरदास गुरुवार 28 मार्च 2024 को सुबह 11 बजे से 1 बजे तक गुरुद्वारा गुरु अंगद देव जी साहिब गली नंबर 10, कृष्णा नगर अमलोह रोड खन्ना जिला लुधियाना में की जा रही है।

Addressing a press conference organized at Chandigarh Press Club today, Pratap Singh Rana said that he will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Chandigarh as an independent candidate. He said that he never wanted to come into active politics, but he decided to go among the people of Chandigarh after being upset with the Chandigarh Administration deliberately delaying the Raipur Kala railway underpass project due to political pressure. It is mentioned that he held hunger strike several times from 2018 till now to get the underpass constructed, despite this, every time the officials of the Chandigarh Administration played their negative role instead of completing this project soon. He took this decision to teach a lesson to the officials of the Chandigarh Administration and all the political parties of Chandigarh for deliberately delaying a public interest project. He also released a 20-point election manifesto today.  Being in touch with Chandigarh for the last 40 years, he has raised the main issues of Chandigarh which have not been touched by any political party till date, such as giving full statehood to Chandigarh. He has pledged to make Chandigarh signal free on priority basis in 5 years. He has promised to save government houses from becoming ruins, to increase business in all the markets of Chandigarh and the biggest announcement he has made is to give ownership rights to all the allottees of Housing Board and State Office of Chandigarh. Apart from this, there are many issues in his Sankalp Patra which have not been touched by any political party till date, such as making all the registered resident welfare associations, Safai Karamchari Sangathan, Vyapar Sangathan and the presidents of all the registered units of Chandigarh as nominated councillors, all the employees working on contract basis in Chandigarh Administration and PGI who have completed 240 days of service will be regularized with immediate effect, women of Chandigarh will be given the facility of free travel in CTU buses and BPL families will be given free electricity and water up to 300 units, free e-rickshaws will be given to unemployed youth belonging to BPL families.

Chandigarh, Mar.27, 2024:- वर्ष 2025 में शनि का जब मीन राशि में चलन होगा, तब विनाशकारी आपदाएं अपना तीव्रतम रूप धारण कर लेंगी। ये कहना है श्री जगन्नाथ पुरी से आए कथा वाचक पंडित काशीनाथ मिश्र का। उन्होंने जाज यहां एक प्रेस वार्ता में पत्रकारों को सम्बोधित करते हुए कहा कि कलयुग का अंत बेहद समीप है। पंडित काशीनाथ मिश्र ने 600 वर्ष पूर्व भगवान श्री कृष्ण के परम सखा सुदामा के अवतार संत अच्युतानंद दास द्वारा लिखित भविष्य मालिका शास्त्र का हवाला देते हुए ये दावा किया कि मानवों द्वारा किए जा रहे विभिन्न अनैतिक क्रिया-कलापों के कारण पृथ्वी पर पाप का बोझ बढ़ रहा है, जिससे आने वाले समय में प्राकृतिक एवं मानव निर्मित आपदाएं विकराल हो जाएँगी, जिससे धरती पर प्रलय काल आरम्भ हो जाएगा व असंख्य लोग काल के गाल में समा जायेंगे। उन्होंने कहा कि पुराणों में वर्णनानुसार भगवान विष्णु के दसवें अवतार कल्कि ही तब मानव जाति का उद्धार करेंगे।  

पंडित काशीनाथ मिश्र ने बताया कि उन्होंने कई दशक तक इस पुराण शास्त्र का अध्ययन किया, तब जाकर उन्हें इन सब बातों का ज्ञान हुआ और अब वे इस विषय पर स्थान स्थान पर कथा करके भक्तों को जागरूक कर रहे हैं। उन्होंने बताया कि वर्ष 2032 तक ये प्रलयकारी दौर जारी रहेगा जिसमें विश्व युद्ध, परमाणु बम्ब हमले, 32 प्रकार की महामारियों का प्रकोप जैसी आपद्यों से मानव जाति का सामना होगा और इनसे सिर्फ वही श्रद्धालु बच पाएंगे जो त्रिसंध्या विधि का जाप करेंगे। संत ने बताया कि आज लोग इन बातों पर अविश्वास प्रकट कर उनसे नाराज होतें हैं या उपहास उड़ाते हैं, परन्तु जल्द ही ये सब कुछ प्रत्यक्ष होगा। पंडित काशीनाथ मिश्र ने कहा कि अच्युतानंद दास संत ने अपनी योग शक्ति के बल पर ये सारी भविष्यवाणियां की थीं।

उल्लेखनीय है कि सेक्टर 37 स्थित श्री सनातन धर्म मंदिर में विश्व सनातन धर्म, खंड गिरी, श्री महारत्नपुर मंडल, भुवनेश्वर द्वारा आयोजित की जा रही 600 वर्ष पूर्व भगवान श्री कृष्ण के परम सखा सुदामा के अवतार संत अच्युतानंद दास द्वारा लिखित भविष्य मालिका शास्त्र पर चर्चा में पंडित काशीनाथ मिश्र कथाव्यास हैं।

इस अवसर पर साइकिल चालक जो महात्मा गांधी और अखिल भारतीय पिंगलवाड़ा सोसाइटी की शांति पुस्तकें, शांति बीज, शांति प्रतीक और शांति पौधे साथ लेकर चल रहे थे, चर्च के बिशप व विशेष कर पंजाब पुलिस के डी एस पी मनोज सिंह को प्रमोद शर्मा ने आभार के तौर पर भेंट किए, जिहोंने यात्रा को सफल बनाने में सहयोग दिया था।

पेडल4पीस चंडीगढ़ से वाघा बॉर्डर की शुरुआत शहीद-ए-आजम भगत सिंह के शहादत दिवस पर चंडीगढ़ स्थित युवा एनजीओ-युवसत्ता और इंटरनेशनल सिख कॉन्फेडरेशन द्वारा की गई थी। जिसमें भारत के चार अलग-अलग राज्यों से मुख्य रूप से कर्नाटक, पंजाब, उत्तराखंड, हिमाचल प्रदेश और केंद्र शासित प्रदेश चंडीगढ़ से प्रतिभागी भाग ले रहे थे।

कार्यक्रम के बारे में जानकारी देते हुए युवसत्ता के संस्थापक प्रमोद शर्मा ने बताया कि देर शाम अमृतसर पुलिस की सहायता से सभी साइकिल चालक वाघा बॉर्डर पहुंचे, जहां मौन रह कर  मोमबत्ती की रोशनी में प्रार्थना का आयोजन किया गया और इसे बढ़ावा देने के लिए काम करने का संकल्प लिया गया। शहीद भगत सिंह जैसे स्वतंत्रता सेनानी के आदर्श, जो युवा शक्ति में विश्वास करते थे और वास्तविक अर्थों में किसी भी सतत विकास और स्वतंत्रता के लिए श्रमिक वर्ग के लिए न्याय और समान अधिकार सुनिश्चित करते थे।

उन्होंने आगे कहा कि शुरुआत में उन्होंने शहीद भगत सिंह के जन्मस्थान तक साइकिल से जाने की योजना बनाई थी, लेकिन इस बार वे वीजा पाने में सफल नहीं हो सके। लेकिन वे यात्रा पूरी करने के लिए अगले सर्वोत्तम अवसर की प्रतीक्षा करेंगे।

सिख इंटरनेशनल कॉन्फेडरेशन के एस जगतार सिंह मुल्तानी ने भी साझा किया कि अमृतसर में, वे ऑल इंडिया पिंगलवाड़ा चैरिटेबल सोसाइटी द्वारा उनके समर्थन के लिए दिए गए गर्मजोशी भरे स्वागत और अतुलनीय आतिथ्य के लिए आभारी हैं और उन्होंने ऐसे संस्थानों का समर्थन करने के लिए अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ प्रयास करने का फैसला किया है। जो वास्तव में हाशिए पर मौजूद लोगों को सशक्त बना रहे हैं।

कार्यक्रम का समापन वाघा बॉर्डर पर रिट्रीट सेरेमनी के साथ किया गया।

शेयर, वित्तीय बाजार के बारे में लोगों को जागरूक करने की जरूरत: विशेषज्ञ

By 121 News
Chandigarh, Mar.26, 2024:- सिटीजन अवेयरनेस ग्रुप (सीएजी) ने सिक्योरिटीज एंड एक्सचेंज बोर्ड ऑफ इंडिया (सेबी) और सेंट्रल डिपॉजिटरी सर्विसेज (इंडिया) लिमिटेड (सीडीएसएल) के सहयोग से चंडीगढ़ प्रेस क्लब, सेक्टर 27, चंडीगढ़ में एक निवेशक जागरूकता कार्यक्रम का आयोजन किया। 

सिटीजन अवेयरनेस ग्रुप के चेयरमैन सुरिंदर वर्मा ने नवीनतम तकनीकी प्रगति के माध्यम से शेयर बाजारों से धन बनाने के बारे में विस्तृत जानकारी दी। उन्होंने इस बारे में बात की कि कैसे मोबाइल ऐप्स ट्रेडिंग में लोकप्रिय हो गए हैं और टेक्नोलॉजी को अपनाने की चुनौतियों और उनसे कैसे पार पाया जाए, इस पर जोर दिया। उन्होंने टेक्नोलॉजी से उत्पन्न जोखिमों, जैसे डेटा चोरी, गड़बड़ियाँ आदि को भी सामने लाया, जिससे नुकसान होता है, लेकिन टेक्नोलॉजी का सही उपयोग दीर्घकालिक लाभ ला सकता है। उन्होंने कहा कि निवेशकों में शेयर बाजार को लेकर जागरूकता की कमी है। बहुत सारी झिझक थी जिसके कारण अंततः जानकारी की कमी के कारण गलत निर्णय लिए गए। इसलिए, ऐसे मंच की भूमिका निवेशकों को ऐसी स्थितियों से निपटने में मदद करती है।

सेबी के डिप्टी जनरल मैनेजर वीर साहब सिंह ने सिक्योरिटीज मार्किट, बचत और निवेश की भूमिका पर चर्चा की। उन्होंने वित्तीय बाजारों के नियामक के रूप में सेबी की भूमिका और कार्यप्रणाली के बारे में बात की और इस बात पर जोर दिया कि निवेशकों को निवेश करते समय अनुशासन और उचित परिश्रम करना चाहिए।

उन्होंने यह भी खुलासा किया कि भारतीय विश्व स्तर पर 'सेविंग ग्रेड' में शीर्ष पर हैं, लेकिन दुर्भाग्य से वे वित्तीय जागरूकता की कमी के कारण अपनी बचत को निवेश में बदलने में विफल रहते हैं और रिटर्न की संभावना से चूक जाते हैं। स्टॉक, म्यूचुअल फंड, बॉन्ड और बाजार निवेश के अन्य रूपों जैसे ज्वलंत विकल्प होने के बावजूद, निवेशकों ने अभी तक अपने उपकरणों का पूर्ण उपयोग नहीं किया है।

सीडीएसएल से मैनेजर इंद्रजीत सिंह ने वित्तीय नियोजन की आवश्यकता पर चर्चा की। उन्होंने कहा कि लोगों को निवेश के तरीकों की विशेषताओं को जानने के बाद विवेकपूर्ण ढंग से निवेश करना चाहिए और निवेशकों को डीमैट, डिपॉजिटरी सर्विसेज, अधिकार और दायित्व और शिकायत तंत्र के बारे में भी जागरूक होना चाहिए।

कार्यक्रम के बाद प्रश्नोत्तरी सत्र हुआ, जिसमें निवेशकों ने अपनी शंकाओं का समाधान किया।

Modi Govt. of Unjust and Unfair and Trying to Disturb the Democratic Norms and Values: Congress

By 121 News
Chandigarh, Mar.22, 2024:-
Chandigarh Congress today accused the Modi government of being unjust and unfair and trying to disturb the democratic norms and values. 
In a Press conference addressed by Pawan Kumar Bansal former union minister and H S Lucky President Chandigarh Pradesh Congress Committee both the leaders came down heavily on the Modi government for its dictatorial attitude and suppression of the opposition parties and its leadership. 
Pawan Bansal said that eleven accounts of the Congress party have been frozen to disturb the electoral environment in the country and to scuttle the chance of congress party in the ensuing lok sabha polls. Modi government was using agencies like ED, Income tax department and CBI  to settle political scores. He demanded that these accounts should be de-frozen to ensure level playing field. It concerns the credibility of the electrol process which has been built over 70 years in the country added Bansal. 
H S Lucky said that the Modi government wants to cripple the Congress party financially which happens to be the principle opposition party. On the one hand ruling Bjp has amassed huge resources through electoral bonds and cash, on the other hand it had frozen the accounts of congress party. A sum of Rs 115.32 crores has been  forcibly withdrawn by the Income tax department from the accounts of congress party and lien of 210 crore has been marked on these accounts this is for congress party receiving a meagre sum of Rs 14.49 lacs from its MP's as donation in cash.  Which cannot be justified by any means. The recent arrest of Delhi chief minister Arvind kejriwal and earlier of jharkhand chief minister Hemant soren are classic examples of political vendetta which has been unleashed on political opponents. Modi government is afraid of India alliance that is why it is stooping so low. The claim of 400 plus seats of Bjp falls flat with such acts which shows their fear added Lucky. 
H S Lucky further said that the Congress party will solidly stand with all the opposition parties including Aam Aadmi Party in the Modi government's tirade against them. Among those present included Vikram chopra treasurer and Ache lal gour,  treasurer and General Secretary of the party respectively.
