Modi government's 11 years full of achievements:MoS defence
Union minister of state for defence Sanjay Seth on Tuesday said that the 11 years of Modi government are full of achievements and remain unmatched. Seth, who addressed the media in Shimla, said that today the whole world looks at India with respect and the world's view towards India has changed. Today's India is a new India which neither fears anyone, nor bows down, nor extends hands in front of anyone. 'During the Covid-19 pandemic, when the world invented the vaccine, we invented not one but two vaccines, then the Congress party made fun of it. The Prime Minister not only saved 140 crore lives but also saved the world by giving vaccines to 118 countries,' he said. The minister of state for defence said that on PM's call, 175 countries of the world accepted June 21 as Yoga Day. 'No one believed that India would organise such a grand G-20 summit but the whole world acknowledged the success with which the government organised the summit. When the Ukraine-Russia war started, we evacuated 23,000 students from safely and students from 28 countries came out safely from there with our tricolor flag in their hands. Under Operation Kaveri, more than 3,000 Indians were brought back safely,' Seth said. The MoS further said that after the Pahalgam terror attack, the country wanted revenge and our PM said that those who were behind this incident would be razed to the ground and he did it. 'This is the first time in the world that such a huge military operation was carried out on a nuclear-armed country. Our mighty army destroyed the terrorists within 23 minutes and destroyed 11 of their air bases,' he said.

Revanth meets Rahul, Kharge in Delhi as AICC weighs portfolio reshuffle, cabinet strategy
Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy met with AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi to discuss the allocation of portfolios to the three newly-inducted ministers and the possibility of a wider cabinet reshuffle. The Congress high command is said to have firmly advised Revanth to ensure social justice remains the guiding principle in the reallocation of portfolios—a directive with both symbolic and political resonance. Significantly, soon after the meeting, the AICC summoned senior minister and party heavyweight N Uttam Kumar Reddy to the national capital, fuelling speculation about a deeper shake-up within the cabinet. While there has been no official word on whether the leadership is contemplating dropping any ministers, the move has revived buzz in party circles about possible exits or marginalisation of underperforming incumbents. Uttam was accompanied by his wife and Kodad MLA N Padmavathi Reddy, whose name is reportedly under consideration either for inclusion in a future cabinet expansion or as one of the four working presidents of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo This development is being seen as part of a larger balancing act within the party, aimed at accommodating key social and regional stakeholders ahead of local body elections. Bhatti also set to be called Though deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka was not present in Delhi, sources confirmed that a senior AICC leader held telephonic discussions with him following Revanth's meeting with the top leadership. There are strong indications that Bhatti too may be called to Delhi for further consultations, although his office did not confirm any such move as of late Tuesday night. "The high command has wrapped up discussions with the Karnataka leadership, where a decision was taken to conduct another caste census. The focus now shifts to Telangana," a senior AICC functionary said. "The leadership is set to deliberate not only on the portfolios for the new ministers but also the political ramifications of a larger reshuffle. Consultations with Revanth, Uttam, and most likely Bhatti will continue into the night or take place on Wednesday. The announcement of new portfolios is expected on Wednesday or Thursday," the source added. 4 working presidents Revanth's meeting with Rahul Gandhi and Kharge lasted over two hours and went beyond cabinet matters. The discussion also covered the pending appointments of four TPCC working presidents, district and block-level Congress presidents, the campaign committee, and the AICC programme implementation committee chairperson. The strategy for upcoming local body elections and plans to target the BJP-led Centre's '11 years of failure' were also prominently discussed. Sources said that AICC general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal had submitted a detailed chart of portfolios currently held by Revanth, Bhatti, Uttam, and other ministers to Rahul Gandhi and Kharge. Also tabled was a performance report prepared by AICC Telangana in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan, which included candid feedback from party MLAs and senior leaders—reportedly touching on both strengths and lapses in the current cabinet. Revanth also extended formal invitations to Rahul Gandhi and Kharge to address public meetings in Telangana highlighting the successful completion of the state's caste survey, the passage of the 42% BC quota legislation, and the party's commitment to SC categorisation. Dates are being finalised in coordination with the central leadership, around which the TPCC will organise major rallies. Vivek meets Kharge, CM Meanwhile, newly-inducted minister G Vivek Venkatswamy also met Kharge on Monday and Revanth on Tuesday. While Vivek maintained publicly that he would work diligently with whichever portfolio he is given, sources indicate he is lobbying for the energy or education portfolio. He was reportedly advised by the leadership to concentrate on strengthening the party in the run-up to the local polls and to aggressively campaign against the BJP's record at the Centre.

Assets of state political party chiefs should be probed: Jakhar
Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Punjab unit chief Sunil Jakhar on Tuesday demanded 'income trail test' of state presidents of all political parties, to ascertain the illegal wealth of mainstream leaders. Replying to a question over Punjab finance minister Harpal Cheema's statement seeking dope tests of all political leaders, Jhakhar said their assets should be probed as well. 'There are state presidents who had mud houses till a few years ago but are now roaming in (Land Rover) Defender cars worth 2.5 crore. What formula they have used to accumulate such wealth and properties, people must know. The income tax (department) can start the probe from me,' said Jakhar. He was addressing a press conference regarding the completion of 11 years of the Narendra Modi-led BJP government at the Centre. Jakhar also took potshots at Congress leaders, who he said recently constructed farmhouses in Siswan area in New Chandigarh. 'You will be surprised to know that Captain Amarinder Singh has built a farmhouse in just four acres but some of our old friends from the Congress have built farmhouses across 10 acres. More surprising is that they have spent huge money on boundary walls, which are of more height than any central jail,' the BJP leader said. Taking jibe at the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab over 'Yudh Nashian Virudh', the state BJP chief said this drive is a 'sham' as only small consumers were being put behind bars. Jakhar gave out data about such campaigns run in the previous Congress and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)-BJP state governments to show how they resulted in significant arrests but failed eventually. Jakhar said that the BJP, under PM Modi, has ushered the country in a period of unprecedented growth for the country. 'India has become the fourth largest economy in the world. This is no coincidence but commitment to work on policies and principles,' said Jakhar.
