New York City Mayor (elect) Zoharan Mamdani has maintained his old attitude even after a friendly meeting with Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Mamdani said on Sunday (November 23) that the conversation with Trump was good, but his opinion has not changed. He clearly said that even today he feels that Donald Trump is a fascist and remains a threat to democracy.

‘I still stand by what I said about Trump’- Mamdani

When Mamdani was asked on NBC’s Meet The Press show whether he still considered Trump a fascist, he confirmed it without hesitation. Mamdani said that there is no reason to back down from his political disagreements and he said what he has always said.

Sharp statements during elections

During the mayor elections, there was a tough war of words between Trump and Mamdani. Trump had even called Mamdani a ‘mad communist’ and claimed that he could not win the election at any cost. At the same time, Mamdani had hit back by calling Trump a ‘fascist and dictator’.

This was how the meeting at the White House was

After winning the recent mayoral election, Mamdani met Trump at the White House. The atmosphere in this meeting appeared much more positive than before. Trump also praised Mamdani in front of reporters, which surprised everyone because it was a far cry from the earlier harsh rhetoric between the two.

Told the meeting ‘productive’

Mamdani also described the Oval Office meeting as useful. He said that during the talks the same issues which were the main focus of his election campaign came up again and again. Expensive housing, child care expenses, rising grocery prices and the burden of utility bills.

US President Donald Trump and New York’s newly elected Mayor Zoharan Mamdani met for the first time at the White House on Friday (November 21), in which the tone of the two leaders was completely different from the election confrontation. Trump described this closed-door meeting as very good and productive. During the discussion, consensus was reached on many important issues and Trump also assured to support Mamdani’s affordability agenda.

During the election campaign, both of them made sharp attacks on each other. Trump had called Mamdani a “communist lunatic,” while Mamdani had called the president a “dictator.” But when both of them came out of the meeting on Friday, the atmosphere had completely changed. Trump said, “We had a very good and productive meeting. We both have a common desire for New York, the city we love, to move forward and do better.” He also said that the better work Mamdani does, the happier he will be.

Mamdani told what happened with Trump

After the meeting, newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani said that the conversation between the two leaders was very productive. He said that in the meeting there was a detailed discussion on rising inflation and affordability in New York, which has also been the main issue of Mamdani’s election campaign. “We talked about rent, groceries, utility bills and all the things that are making it difficult for people to live in New York,” Mamdani said.

The atmosphere of the meeting was quite cordial. Trump congratulated Mamdani on winning the election and said that he had defeated many smart people in this race. He also acknowledged that some of Mamdani’s views on New York’s economy and affordability were similar to his.

The monsoon session of the assembly in Rajasthan will start from September 1. The government has decided to pass the anti -conversion bill in the monsoon session. This bill could not be discussed in the budget session. There is a possibility of uproar when this bill is discussed in the House.

The Congress party has clarified its attitude by raising questions on the government’s firm about this bill and has made its stand clear. On the other hand, the BJP has retaliated on the Congress and said that it is very important to stop love jihad and illegal conversion.

Anti -conversion bill passed in monsoon session?

The anti -conversion bill was presented by the government on 3 February in the budget session. However, it could not be discussed due to uproar in that session. It has been made clear from the government that not only will it be discussed in the monsoon session, but it will also be passed.

The government believes that after passing the anti -conversion bill, incidents like Love Jihad will be controlled in the state. The Congress party has made its stand clear about the preparations for the anti -conversion bill to be passed in the monsoon session.

The new law is just a political tactic – Bhanwar Jitendra Singh

In Rajasthan, senior Congress party leader and former Union Minister Bhanwar Jitendra Singh has said that the BJP keeps on giving up such political shigufaji to divert attention from the necessary issues. He says that there is already a law against illegal conversion. In such a situation, the new law is just a political tactic.

He said that his party is not a supporter of illegal conversion at all, but we want strict action against those who converted with force, pressure and greed. They allege that the government’s intention in this case is not clear.

Congress party has always done politics of appeasement – Dr. Satish Poonia

Bhanwar Jitendra Singh says that BJP only wants to propaganda and target a particular community through such issues. He said that the Congress party has always been against the oppression of any community. On discussing in the House, the Congress party would like to know the intention of the government and will insist on the solidarity of the society and the safety of all.

On the other hand, the ruling BJP has retaliated on the Congress’ stance. Senior BJP leader and former state president Dr. Satish Poonia says that the Congress party has always been doing politics of appeasement and its objection and opposition to this bill is also part of this.

It is necessary to stop love jihad by making laws – Dr. Satish Poonia

Dr. Satish Poonia says that in the name of love jihad, there is a large -scale conversion under the mission by giving fear, pressure and greed. If the government wants to curb it by making laws and wants to secure the lives of the people, then the Congress party should not have any objection to it.

He said that the Congress party does not desist from protesting on such necessary issues only for the benefit of vote bank. There will be a lot of effort from the government to pass this bill in the monsoon session and give it the appearance of the law.

Both parties are attacking each other

It can be said that the Congress and BJP have already become face to face in Rajasthan regarding the anti-conversion law. Both parties are attacking each other. At the commencement of the assembly session, there is a possibility of dispute and uproar on this issue. Preparations are also being made to introduce several other bills in the monsoon session.

BJP vs congress, Controversy is increasing over the statement of the newly elected BJP MLA Mohan Singh Bisht’s name to be changed to ‘Shivpuri’ or ‘Shiva Vihar’ from Mustafabad, Delhi. He said that there are more people of majority communities in the area, so the name of the assembly should be according to him. He also clarified that he will bring a proposal in this regard in the first session of the assembly.

The Congress has reacted strongly to this statement of the BJP MLA. Congress spokesperson Ragini Nayak said that BJP leaders have been entrusted with great responsibility by the people of Delhi, but they are busy changing the name instead of development. He said that BJP has got power in Delhi after 27 years, but instead of the 5 trillion dollar economy and development promises, they are engaged in changing the name of the assembly.

Politics hot on changing the name of Mustafabad

Ragini Nayak further said that the BJP had made promises like providing financial help to women and cleaning Yamuna, but now efforts are being made to divert attention from real issues. He asked if the public has given the BJP a majority to change the name of Mustafabad? Describing it as a tender politics, he said that there is nothing by keeping big names, real work will be done by development.

Will the proposal come in the assembly session?

The demand to change the name of Mustafabad has now taken the form of a big political controversy. While the BJP is looking at it by linking it with ‘cultural identity’, the Congress is calling it a conspiracy to deviate from the issues of public interest. Now it has to be seen whether this proposal is made in the first session of the assembly and what a turn in Delhi’s politics.
