editor January 16, 2024Leave a comment

LUCKNOW, Jan 16: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh claimed on Tuesday that the belief that India was a weak nation had changed during the last nine years, attributing this to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asserting that the country is now regarded as "strong and powerful." Speaking during the "Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra" in his parliamentary district, the home minister stated that the global view of India has now shifted. "Today, nobody views India as weak. We are now seen as a formidable nation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi deserves all the credit for this, Singh stated."No power in the world can dare to show eyes to us when the country and countrymen are strong," he continued. According to Singh, this is the first time a government has knocked on people's doors in post-independence India to make sure they take advantage of various assistance packages. "If someone who qualifies for the schemes is not receiving benefits, our prime minister is quite concerned and anxious. He used to ask us to make sure our constituency's beneficiaries were reached by the programmes," he continued. Singh stated that when Modi took office as prime minister, India's economy was ranked 10th in the world; it is currently ranked fifth.Economists believe this is a result of Modi's appeal. If everything proceeds as planned, the Indian economy would rank in the top three by 2027 and will be the strongest by 2047, the speaker continued.

Speaking at a function in the Baramulla district of north Kashmir, the LG stated that the region is now experiencing a dry winter.

"In the Baramulla district, six new destinations have been added to the list, but tourists would prefer to stay away in the absence of snow," he stated. LG stated that with the completion of OBC reservations, elections for Panchayats and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) will take place shortly. Elections for Panchayats and ULBs will be held after the process is completed, he stated.

His comments came a few days after the high brass of the Congress rejected an invitation to the ceremony at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, during a press conference held in conjunction with the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.The prime minister is the focal point of politics during the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple. It is challenging for us to go since the BJP and the RSS are giving it an election flavour," Gandhi remarked. "We find it challenging to participate in the consecration ceremony of the Ram temple because the BJP and the RSS, our main rivals, have hijacked the event and made it an election event," he stated. The leader of the Congress party said that the opposition INDIA bloc will beat the BJP in the next Lok Sabha elections. According to him, the talks for seat sharing among the partners in the INDIA bloc are proceeding nicely. "I have faith that minor issues within the INDIA bloc will be settled, and we will defeat the BJP as a group. We are discussing seat sharing with our allies in the INDIA bloc. The talks are going quite well, Gandhi reported. He declared that the opposition alliance will come together and win the Lok Sabha election. The yatra started on January 14 in Thoubal, Manipur, and arrived in Nagaland on Monday night.

Gandhi is travelling in a specially designed Volvo bus equipped with a hydraulic lift that allows the leader to address the assembly from above the bus. 'Mohabbat ki Dukaan' is printed on the bus, which Congress leaders are referring to as 'Mohabbat Ki Dukaan on wheels.' During the Kanyakumari to Kashmir Bharat Jodo Yatra, Gandhi coined the phrase "Mohabbat Ki Dukaan" and declared that he was opening a "shop for spreading love" in "Nafrat ka Bazaar," or "market of hate."
