Election Fraud Claims: BJP exposes Rahul Gandhi’s Baseless Attack on Democracy

Rahul Gandhi has once again resorted to Election Fraud Claims to cast doubt on India's electoral system. From raising questions on EVMs to now alleging "match-fixing" in Maharashtra, his narrative of Election Fraud Claims has no evidence. Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde, and JP Nadda have all slammed these Election Fraud Claims, calling them an insult to the people’s verdict. The Election Commission, too, has dismissed these charges as unfounded and misleading. Repeating Election Fraud Claims after every defeat weakens democracy and insults honest voters. It's time to reject fake narratives and trust the electoral process. #ElectionFraudClaims #RahulGandhiExposed #TrustElectionsIndia #DemocracyNotDrama #ECIClarifies

India-China Breakthrough: China Ready For Border Talks As India Pushes For Border Demarcation

China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao. Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives. #IndiaChina #BorderTalks #GalwanClash #LACStandoff #IndiaChinaTensions #RajnathSingh #DongJun #ChinaIndiaRelations #DefenceDiplomacy #SCO2025 #BorderDispute #Delimitation #TroopDisengagement #Deescalation #ChinaIndiaNews #AsiaStability #Geopolitics #PeaceNegotiations #KailashYatra #LACUpdate ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.122~
