‘Cong more of a family enterprise, than a party’
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah on Sunday said the Congress had become more of a family enterprise aimed at dynastic service than a political party aimed at public service. In a dig at Congress leaders, including P Chidambaram who had named several party presidents hailing from outside the Gandhi family, Shah said in tweets that Modi’s challenge to Rahul to name an outsider as the president of the party had ruffled several feathers with “many courtiers going out of the way to prove their loyalty”.

Three security personnel injured in blast
Three jawans of the District Reserve Guard (DRG) of police were injured, one seriously, in a blast carried out by Naxals in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district on Sunday, an official said. The incident took place between the Bhejji and Elarmadgu villages when a team of security personnel was conducting a search operation, Sukma Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Meena said.
As the team was cordoning off the forest between the two villages, around 500 km from Raipur, the rebels detonated an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), he said. Polling for the Assembly election took place in Sukma and seven other Naxal-affected districts on November 12. The second phase is scheduled to be held on November 20.
