Kharge's 'Eid Of Joy' Remark: BJP's Vote-Bank Charge, Rahul Gandhi In The Crossfire | Brass Tacks

Has the Congress's Diwali greeting triggered another political flashpoint? Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's description of Diwali as 'Khushiyon Ka Eid' has sparked a political controversy, with the BJP accusing the party of religious appeasement and vote-bank politics.The BJP has questioned Kharge's choice of words, arguing that Diwali has its own religious significance, traditions and identity. BJP leaders have also challenged Rahul Gandhi and Kharge to describe Eid as a 'Diwali of joy', escalating the political exchange.The Congress, however, has pushed back against the criticism. Party spokesperson Pawan Khera defended Kharge's remark, arguing that the word 'Eid' literally means festival and accusing the BJP of manufacturing controversy over a message intended to convey joy and inclusivity.The exchange has brought the Congress's secularism, the BJP's allegations of minority appeasement and the politics surrounding religious festivals back into the spotlight. n18oc_indian18oc_brass_tacks CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.

E20 Petrol Row: Karnataka vs Kerala | Is Ethanol-Blended Fuel Safe For Your Car? | E20 Petrol Debate

E20 Petrol Row: Karnataka vs Kerala | Is Ethanol-Blended Fuel Safe For Your Car? | E20 Petrol Debate

The E20 petrol controversy is spreading beyond Karnataka, with Kerala now launching inspections and testing fuel samples amid allegations of excessive ethanol blending. What began as a dispute over petrol quality has turned into a wider debate over fuel standards, vehicle compatibility, consumer rights and the Centre's ethanol-blending programme.The Karnataka government has alleged that tests of 63 petrol samples found ethanol levels exceeding the prescribed 20% limit, with some reportedly recording levels above 30%. The Centre and oil marketing companies — Indian Oil, BPCL and HPCL — have challenged these findings, citing concerns over sampling and testing methodology. The Petroleum Ministry, meanwhile, says 893 samples tested across 27 states and UTs complied with prescribed standards. Now Kerala has joined the scrutiny. The state has begun inspections and sample collection across four districts — Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, Kozhikode and Kannur — to check whether petrol outlets are adhering to the prescribed ethanol-blending limit. n18oc_india n18oc_breaking-news CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
