Country Has Made Up Its Mind That PM Modi Will Be At Helm For 3rd Term: Shah At BJP Meet

New Delhi, Feb 18: Home Minister Amit Shah claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is leading the BJP-led camp working for the country's development while the Congress-led "INDI alliance" is full of family-run parties and corruption, drawing comparisons between the upcoming Lok Sabha polls and the Mahabharata war. Shah attacked the opposition INDIA alliance for promoting dynastic and appeasement politics in his speech at the BJP's national convention held here.He was discussing the resolution "BJP: Desh ki aasha, vipaksha ki hatasha" (BJP: Hope for the country, despair for the opposition). In reference to the second, third, and fourth generations of families controlling these parties, he claimed that the opposition is full of "2G, 3G, and 4G" parties. He claimed that the prime minister had improved the nation's standing internationally and strived to advance all facets of society. There's no question in the public's mind, according to Shah, that the prime minister will serve a third term.He remarked, citing Sonia Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, Lalu Prasad, M K Stalin, and others, that whereas PM Modi considers the underprivileged and the nation's progress, the leaders of the INDIA alliance consider appointing their offspring to the positions of prime minister and chief government. He stated this amid cheers for Modi at the meeting. "All the family princes" have united against Modi because they believe that only a member of a strong family can hold the top job."There are family-run parties on the one hand, and the son of a poor mother on the other," he remarked. According to him, the administration has tried to improve the living conditions of 60 crore impoverished people who previously felt excluded from the development process. He claimed that the opposition parties were in a state of denial and that they opposed everything for the sake of opposing it, including the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, the repeal of Article 370, the prohibition on triple talaq, and the development of a new Parliament building. He claimed that because of its appeasement tactics, the Congress had declined the invitation to the dedication ceremony of the Ram temple.He claimed that the son of a tea vendor would not have been prime minister of the nation if the BJP did not practise family-run politics.

First River Rejuvenation Project Completed, Locals Await “Devika’s Rebirth” Ahead Of PM Modi’s Visit

Udhampur, Feb 18: As "Devika," North India's first river restoration project, was finished in Udhampur, Jammu and Kashmir, on Sunday, excitement was building in the city. On February 20, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for a number of projects in Jammu and Kashmir. For the indigenous communities, the Devika River is extremely sacred and is regarded as the holy Ganga's sister. Taking note of this, the government introduced the Devika Rejuvenation Project in 2019, modelled after the popular "Namami Gange" initiative. The initiative is being hailed by the people of Udhampur as the Devika River's "rebirth." The project promises possible economic benefits through sustainable tourism and local business prospects, in addition to environmental rejuvenation. After the project was completed, Udhampur resident Raghav Raine noticed notable changes in the Devika River. As we stand here in Devika today, I want to sincerely thank the people who have worked so hard to maintain these roads. I would want to express my gratitude to our Prime Minister Modi Ji, who visits every year on the 20th. This location has seen significant changes: what was before a jungle now has seating, and an event-specific open theatre has been built. This place was formerly dark, but with the addition of appropriate lighting, older people who were previously unable to enter owing to the darkness may now do so. This time, I am very looking forward to Modi Ji's coming to Devika. I wonder what presents he will bring for us," Raghav Raine remarked. Rohit Kumar, a college student, conveyed his appreciation for the city's road construction."I have observed numerous noteworthy alterations in the Devika River. There were no designated walkways when I used to visit this place, but now it has undergone full development. In the past, the river was heavily polluted. He added, "I also want to thank PM Modi for the development of the Devika River, our sacred site. Felmo Devi expects these improvements to lead to economic expansion. "It was difficult for me to believe when I first went because the Devika River was undeveloped. There were no appropriate routes.However, a major transformation has now occurred, and this will draw tourists in the future. In the future, we will also observe economic expansion. Significant changes have occurred, according to Felmo Devi. Udhampur native Tariq Shah emphasised how Prime Minister Modi's ten-year rule has had a transforming effect, making the Devika River worth seeing. "Over the course of his ten years in office, Prime Minister Modi has changed our Devika River into something very remarkable. There is a statue of Lord Shiva, and a sizable number of people visit these days.There have been beautification initiatives put in place, with the Devika River's cleanliness receiving particular focus. We hope that additional plans for Udhampur's development would be announced when PM Modi inaugurates it. Since PM Modi's arrival, Devika has seen waves of progress, according to Tariq Shah. The Devika River, often described as the Ganges' sister, is another reason to visit Udhampur.The district of Udhampur's official website states that the Nilmat Puran, penned by Nela Muni in the 7th century, mentions that the Devika River is a manifestation of Mother Goddess Parwati herself, providing benefits to the people of Mader Desha, which is the region between the rivers Chenab and Ravi. It is said that on Shiv Ratri, the Devika River arose. According to literature on the official District Udhampur website, "Lord Shiva himself is said to remain side by side with his consort Uma, manifesting in the form of Shiv Lingas at eight places alongside the Devika River."

Double Engine Govt Means Double Blow To Unemployed: Rahul Gandhi Slams BJP

New Delhi, Feb 18: Regarding the problem of unemployment in Uttar Pradesh, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday criticised the BJP, claiming that a "double blow" to the jobless will result from a double engine government. Gandhi stated that the “disease of unemployment” affects one-third of Uttar Pradesh's young today in a post on X that was written in Hindi. "Graduates, postgraduates, and PhD holders are waiting in queue even for the posts that require minimum qualification, where more than 1.5 lakh government posts are vacant," stated the former head of the Congress. "Double engine government equals double damage to jobless people," he declared.First of all, he stated, "the prospect of recruitment is a dream. Even if the recruitment is carried out, the paperwork gets leaked. If the paperwork is completed, the outcome is unknown. Even when the outcome is known after a protracted period of time, one frequently needs to go to court to ensure joining." He claimed that after years of waiting for enlistment, thousands of pupils have reached adulthood from the Army, the Railways, the Police, and the Education Department. Gandhi remarked, "A student caught in this maze of despair is succumbing to depression and breaking down." He asserted, "And being distressed by all this, he gets batons from the police when he comes out on the streets with his demands." According to Gandhi, a student's employment serves as both a source of income and a dream that could transform his family's circumstances. If this dream is dashed, the family's hopes are also dashed. "We will not allow the youth's penance to be in vain; the policies of Congress will do justice to their dreams," he declared. On Friday, the Congress' Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra made its way into Uttar Pradesh, where it would continue till it reaches Rajasthan. The Manipur-Mumbai Yatra, which will run 6,700 kilometres from east to west across 15 states, intends to meet ordinary people while promoting the idea of "nyay" (justice).

Those who lure boys into militancy are real culprits: DGP

SRINAGAR: According to Director General of Police (DGP) RR Swain, the young boys are the victims and the true offenders are those who entice them to become militants. On the fringes of the Public Darbar in Baramulla, Swain said reporters that they wanted young people to protect themselves from drugs and militancy. "The Imams of the Masjids and the Civil Society are accountable. We consider those who support terrorism as our victims; the true offenders are those who provide them money, arms, and deceive them," he declared.According to the DGP, he has repeatedly stated that the small child who picked up the rifle without having any facial hair is a victim. "The one who gives this young lad the pistol and the money is the one who is really at fault. "We intend to pursue those who deceive these impressionable minds," he continued. According to Swain, the Police are coming up with a novel plan to eradicate this epidemic. "As you can see, we have a plan in place to make sure that no young person in J&K joins the terrorist organisation. To ensure the plan's success, we are in contact with Masjid leaders, educators, parents, and members of civic society," the DGP stated.He described the phenomenon of narco-terrorism as a significant concern, noting that while therapy for victims was formerly thought to be necessary, it has recently become apparent that addicts also act as peddlers. "Our goal is to apprehend the large fish that feed drugs to drug addicts. Regarding the desire for more drug treatment facilities, the DGP stated, "We will meet with the Chief Secretary and the Secretary of Health and Medical Education to present our proposal for the establishment of additional drug treatment facilities. Regarding the public darbars, he noted that people's concerns vary widely, including land disputes, police investigation delays, and questions about previous inquiries, even among those connected to the police family. "I'm taking care of Police Headquarters-related issues right away. It takes some time to handle cases involving ongoing investigations, he said. In response to a question concerning how frequently public darbars should occur and how many cops should participate, the DGP stated that many officers are progressively becoming public darbars in order to resolve concerns pertaining to individuals. "I agree that the frequency of public darbars need to be increased," he stated.
