Rao Inderjit joined bjp

Rao Inderjit Singh, who joined the BJP today, had made up his mind to move out of the Congress long ago when he lashed out at the state Congress leadership accusing it of arbitrary change of land use (CLU) in connivance with a handful of builders.

He was the first Congress leader to demand a joint parliamentary committee probe into all CLUs granted in Haryana at the behest of ruling party leaders. He gave a clue to the INLD that has embroiled the Hooda Government into an embarrassing controversy.

Rao had embarrassed the Congress by taking up a CLU in a case pertaining to Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress president Sonia Gandhi. He went a step further and accused the government of changing the Master Plan of the region four times at the behest of land mafia. He wishes to go to the people with the agenda of protecting the area from the land sharks. He lashed out at the Congress government, saying that the party in the state had been turned into a “private limited company” run at the behest of the Chief Minister and his cronies.

A classmate of Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Rao Inderjit Singh was instrumental in pushing Hooda for the top slot. Political ambition, however, turned him into Hooda’s bête noir.

An influential leader from the Ahirwal belt, Rao Inderjit inherited the political legacy from his father Rao Birendra Singh, the second Chief Minister of Haryana. From being the Haryana Youth Congress general secretary, he rose to be the Union minister in several ministries, including Forests, External Affairs and Defence Production, in UPA-1.

Rao Inderjit traces his lineage to Rao Tula Ram, a hero of the First War of Independence, who is a revered name in the Ahirwal region of south Haryana.

A three-time MP (1998, 2004 and 2009) and four-time MLA, the Yadav leader has a considerable influence in the Ahirwal region comprising the parliamentary seats of Gurgaon, Bhiwani-Mahendragarh and at least 14 Assembly segments.

Since the BJP and the INLD do not have much presence in the Ahirwal belt, Rao Inderjit hasthe capacity to damage the Congress' electoral prospects in the region. He has said he would contest from either Gurgaon or Bhiwani-Mahendragarh seat based on the BJP high command’s wish.

A woman was ambushed in her car outside a McDonald’s in Sartell, Minn., forced to drive around, choked until she was unconscious and then pushed out of the vehicle in another city, authorities said Thursday.

The 56-year-old woman went into a Coborn’s Superstore in downtown Sauk Rapids for help, then was treated at a hospital for injuries and released, police said.

No arrests have been made in the crime, which involved two masked men, and authorities have yet to determine whether the woman was targeted or chosen at random.

“Because of that uncertainty, the Police Department is asking that people lock their vehicles when going into a business and to check the back seats of their vehicles before entering,” said Sartell Police Chief Jim Hughes.

According to police:

The woman told authorities that she stopped at the McDonald’s near Hwys. 1 and 15 in Sartell about 9:40 p.m. Wednesday. When she got back behind the wheel, a man hiding in the back and wearing a ski mask ordered her to keep driving. At some point a second masked man was picked up and she was choked until she lost consciousness

The men also demanded money from her as they drove around the St. Cloud area until pushing her from the vehicle in Sauk Rapids.

Police in that city located the abandoned car. Its interior had been set on fire.

syria strikes kill 400 people so far

 Government shelling and airstrikes using makeshift barrel bombs have killed about 400 people in Syria's largest city so far this month, activists said on Thursday, as US and Russian envoys met in Geneva tndreds of civilians have been evacuated from Homs since Friday when a rare cease-fire went into effect. Aid workers took advantage of the temporary truce that was implemented by the warring sides before the second round of peace talks started in Geneva this week. The cease-fire expired on yesterday night. 

Khaled Erksoussi, the head of operations with the Syrian Arab red Crescent told The Associated Press that the agency's teams are on stand-by to accompany more people out of the city if the truce is extended. It is unlikely that aid workers will be able to deliver more aid to those still trapped in Old Homs, he said. 

Violence, meanwhile, continued in Aleppo. 

The Britain-based Observatory for Human Rights said at least 51 people were killed yesterday, mainly by barrel bombs, shrapnel-packed explosive devices dropped on eight rebel-held districts from helicopters. The Observatory said that raised the total killed in the city to some 400 since the beginning of this month. 

There is no way to independently verify the figure. 

The Observatory, which has been documenting Syria's conflict since its start in March 2011 through a network of activists on the ground, released its report on the latest Aleppo casualties today, ahead of a trilateral meeting between senior US and Russian officials and UN mediator Lakhdar Brahimi, and Syrian government and opposition representatives in Geneva. 

A second round of talks started in Switzerland on Monday but the discussions quickly became mired in acrimony as government and opposition delegates hurled accusations for the bloodshed taking place back home, failing to even agree on the talks' agenda. 
From the outset, the talks have been accompanied by a sharp rise in violence on the ground.o try to revive the deadlocked peace talks. 

The bombings in Aleppo are part of a campaign by President Bashar Assad's forces to wrest control of neighbourhoods that were seized by rebels in the northern city since mid-2012. 

They also come against reports of talks between Syrian government and UN officials on extending the humanitarian truce in the central city of Homs to evacuate more people from the besieged rebel-held districts.
