Jairam Ramesh also launched a sharp attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), calling its members “fraudulent nationalists”. NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh described Jawaharlal Nehru as the finest prime minister India has produced, while naming Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel as the country’s best prime minister who never got the opportunity to hold the office.In a wide-ranging interview with news agency PTI, Ramesh also launched a sharp attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), calling its members “fraudulent nationalists”, and labelled Prime Minister Narendra Modi “the master of falsehoods”.During a rapid-fire segment, the Rajya Sabha MP was asked to give one-word responses to a series of questions. When asked to identify India’s best prime minister, he replied, “undoubtedly Jawaharlal Nehru”. On who he considered the best prime minister the country could not have, Ramesh chose Sardar Patel.Asked to pick between his previous ministerial assignments, Ramesh said he preferred his stint as environment minister over rural development minister. He also favoured his role overseeing the Congress party’s communications strategy over serving as an AICC in-charge for any state.When presented with three different descriptions of himself, writer, strategist and environment conservationist, Ramesh said all were part of the same individual.”I enjoyed writing a large number of books in the last 10 years. I enjoyed researching, going to the archives. Topics that had been on my mind that I could write and which I wrote on. So each role is different. I enjoy being an MP, I enjoy raising questions on environment and I enjoy writing,” Ramesh said.The Congress general secretary also reflected on his entry into politics, crediting former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi for encouraging him to join the party full-time.Asked how his political journey began, Ramesh said, “That’s entirely because of Mr. Rajiv Gandhi you know through Mr. Sam Pitroda, we had worked with the then prime minister on technology missions and then Mr. Gandhi lost the election and in 1990 sometime Mr. Pitroda and I had spoken to him and Mr. Gandhi said come and work with us full-time for the party because elections are around the corner.””So that’s how it started and then I continued. So this is my 35th year with the Congress party,” he added.Ramesh said he had previously worked with the Rajiv Gandhi government in the Ministry of Industry and the Planning Commission, before collaborating directly with the then prime minister through Pitroda on technology missions.”So, he (Rajiv) was the inspirational figure and he was the one who encouraged a lot of younger people from non-political backgrounds. I come from a completely non-political background. So he encouraged all this and no doubt that he was the inspiration, the starting point,” Ramesh said.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Akhilesh claimed the allegations against Mohan Yadav were aimed at paving the way for leadership changes in BJP-ruled states (File photo) NEW DELHI: SP chief Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the controversy surrounding allegations of large-scale land purchases linked to Madhya Pradesh chief minister Mohan Yadav’s family is part of a wider Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strategy to replace several of its chief ministers, including Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath.Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Akhilesh claimed the allegations against Mohan Yadav were aimed at paving the way for leadership changes in BJP-ruled states.”The BJP has hatched a conspiracy to defame Mohan Yadav. If these allegations are against Mohan Yadav, then the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh has acquired 300-600 acres of land. This is nothing new. He used to work in real estate earlier. Does the BJP not know this? These allegations are being made because the BJP is looking for a way to change three Chief Ministers. They want to change the Chief Ministers, hence making allegations,” Akhilesh said.He further claimed, “They want to remove the Chief Ministers of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. They are removing these two because they want to remove the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. This is a conspiracy to remove them.”Referring to the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Akhilesh said the Samajwadi Party would return to power and that the current chief minister would be “automatically removed”.Land controversy sparks political battleAkhilesh’s remarks came amid a political storm over allegations that Mohan Yadav and his family acquired large tracts of land after he became chief minister in December 2023.Citing a report by a national daily, Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari sought a probe by a sitting Supreme Court judge and questioned how the chief minister’s family’s land holdings allegedly increased from 100 acres to 335 acres after he took office. Patwari claimed that Yadav and his family purchased at least 137 plots covering 168 acres, valued at around Rs 45 crore, largely in areas linked to planned infrastructure projects and land-use changes.”The media reports that have surfaced are extremely worrying. The chief minister is not just an individual; he represents the entire state. Therefore, if such serious allegations are made against him, it will be a grave matter. The dignity of the state is hurt,” Patwari told PTI Videos.BJP rejects charges, Rajbhar targets AkhileshThe BJP has strongly rejected the allegations. Madhya Pradesh BJP president Hemant Khandelwal described them as “completely baseless” and accused Congress of targeting leaders from the Other Backward Classes (OBC) community.He maintained that land declared in Mohan Yadav’s 2023 election affidavit remains unchanged and argued that all properties cited by the opposition existed before the implementation of the Ujjain master plan.Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh minister Om Prakash Rajbhar hit back at Akhilesh, accusing him of trying to divert attention from alleged links between Samajwadi Party leaders and land investments in Madhya Pradesh. In a lengthy post on X, Rajbhar alleged that an IAS officer connected to senior SP figures had facilitated investments in land along proposed highway corridors and called for an investigation into what he described as “white-collar investments” linked to the party.Get the latest India news and live updates.

They want to change the Chief Ministers, hence making allegations,” Akhilesh said.He further claimed, “They want to remove the Chief Ministers of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. They are removing these two because they want to remove the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. This is a conspiracy to remove them.”Referring to the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, Akhilesh said the Samajwadi Party would return to power and that the current chief minister would be “automatically removed”.Land controversy sparks political battleAkhilesh’s remarks came amid a political storm over allegations that Mohan Yadav and his family acquired large tracts of land after he became chief minister in December 2023.Citing a report by a national daily, Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari sought a probe by a sitting Supreme Court judge and questioned how the chief minister’s family’s land holdings allegedly increased from 100 acres to 335 acres after he took office. Patwari claimed that Yadav and his family purchased at least 137 plots covering 168 acres, valued at around Rs 45 crore, largely in areas linked to planned infrastructure projects and land-use changes.”The media reports that have surfaced are extremely worrying. The chief minister is not just an individual; he represents the entire state. Therefore, if such serious allegations are made against him, it will be a grave matter. The dignity of the state is hurt,” Patwari told PTI Videos.BJP rejects charges, Rajbhar targets AkhileshThe BJP has strongly rejected the allegations. Madhya Pradesh BJP president Hemant Khandelwal described them as “completely baseless” and accused Congress of targeting leaders from the Other Backward Classes (OBC) community.He maintained that land declared in Mohan Yadav’s 2023 election affidavit remains unchanged and argued that all properties cited by the opposition existed before the implementation of the Ujjain master plan.Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh minister Om Prakash Rajbhar hit back at Akhilesh, accusing him of trying to divert attention from alleged links between Samajwadi Party leaders and land investments in Madhya Pradesh. In a lengthy post on X, Rajbhar alleged that an IAS officer connected to senior SP figures had facilitated investments in land along proposed highway corridors and called for an investigation into what he described as “white-collar investments” linked to the party.Get the latest India news and live updates.
