File | Photo Credit: ANI Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai on Tuesday (July 14) said the Ram Temple embezzlement episode is the biggest proof of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’s failure, and added that when it comes to taking credit for the temple, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.P. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath are always at the forefront; hence they will be blamed for this heinous crime and theft at the temple. “I have sent a detailed letter to the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, demanding an independent forensic and financial investigation on this issue, but no effective action has been seen so far. Conversely, many government representatives and political spokespersons appear more active in media accusations and diversionary tactics against the opposition than in answering core questions. “The fact is, the Ram Temple embezzlement episode is the biggest proof of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’s failure, and when it comes to taking credit for the temple, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.P.

House Republican leaders and White House officials are coalescing around a roughly $80 billion policy package as they prepare for a final summer push to enact party-line budget reconciliation legislation. House Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) said the bill would pump $67 billion into Pentagon programs and $11 billion to farm assistance, without including offsetting spending cuts. Three other people granted anonymity to describe the negotiations confirmed the outlines of the deal, which is also likely to include several billion dollars in election grants meant to replicate portions of the SAVE America Act that President Donald Trump is pushing for. The lack of offsets threatens to enrage GOP fiscal hawks, who want at least the agriculture portion of the bill to be paid for. But in a nod to those fiscal concerns, the farm aid portion of the bill shrunk from earlier discussions of as much as $20 billion. Speaker Mike Johnson declined to get into specifics about the bill but said he was focused on "building consensus one step at a time." Several meetings of key GOP officials took place through the day Tuesday, including one at the White House that Johnson, Rogers and other key Republicans attended. The $67 billion defense request is roughly what the White House asked for in a recent emergency supplemental funding package but falls well short of the $350 billion military infusion Trump has called for. The House Budget Committee has set a Thursday morning markup of the fiscal blueprint that launches the budget reconciliation process. Under panel rules, that blueprint would have to be released no later than 10 a.m. He said the annual defense policy bill, which GOP leaders hoped to advance last month until an intraparty rebellion derailed that plan, could also return to the floor next week.
