PM Modi to inaugurate Bengaluru's yellow line metro, launch phase-3 on Aug 10
Prime Minister will also lay the foundation stone for Metro Phase-3, he said.
In a post on 'X', Surya said, "Hon. PM Sri @narendramodi Ji's visit to Bengaluru on August 10 will be a landmark moment for Bengaluru South.
He will not only inaugurate the long-awaited Yellow Line Metro operations but also lay the foundation stone for Metro Phase 3 - a project that received Cabinet approval within the first 100 days of his third term."
He said the Yellow Line will cater to close to eight lakh riders and the 'infamous Silk Board jam' will be addressed greatly. Public transport is the only option to reduce traffic congestion.
"Together, these projects will benefit nearly 25 lakh people in Bengaluru South," he said.
The MP said by inaugurating it on August 10, the Yellow Line Metro project would meet the August 15 deadline.
Surya said this could happen because of Modi's personal insistence that this must be open to public without any further delay.
Surya, who is also the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) national president, quoted Union Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, who said on 'X', "I am pleased to announce that the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India has kindly agreed to inaugurate 19.15 km Yellow Line from RV Road to Bommasandra of Bangaluru metro with 16 stations at the cost of ₹5,056.99 crore and lay the foundation stone of 44.65 km of Bangalore phase-3 at the cost of ₹15,611 Crore on 10th August 2025."
Surya had staged a demonstration to open the Yellow Line of Bengaluru Metro Rail project recently.

Groups of Ministers from Andhra to be sent on study tours to developed countries
Groups of Ministers will be sent to the developed countries to study the development projects there with an aim to bringing innovative policies to Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has informed the Cabinet. The Ministers, particularly the young ones, will be divided into groups for the purpose. The Chief Minister will constitute the groups and assign them schedules. Mr. Naidu revealed the idea after the Cabinet meeting he chaired at the Secretariat on Wednesday. Mr. Naidu said the Ministers should understand the development projects in the countries they visit and find new ways to develop Andhra Pradesh. Revealing details of his Singapore visit, Mr. Naidu told the Cabinet that the previous YSRCP government had created fear among the investors. The Chief Minister, according to a few Ministers, said, 'With great difficulty, we have been able to revive confidence among the Ministers and officials in the Singapore Government. Due to the unacceptable attitude of the YSRCP Government, the Singapore Government, lost trust in us. After more than 40 meetings, the Singapore authorities have accepted to come and participate in the investor summit slated for November in Andhra Pradesh to explore opportunities. They are reluctant to take up the Seed Capital project, as agreed before 2019, but they will extend support to complete the project.' On reorganisation of districts, Mr. Naidu asked the Group of Ministers to finalise the changes and submit the report in a month. On the liquor scam, he told the Ministers that the government was committed to taking the issue to its logical conclusion. The Chief Minister said, from the next Cabinet meeting, one Minister must explain the progress and achievements of his portfolio. A senior Minister said, 'Presenting self-progress in the Cabinet is a good opportunity for the young Ministers. They will have an additional advantage in improving their performance. The Chief Minister and other Cabinet colleagues will suggest how to improve the performance and find solutions to problems.' The Chief Minister also suggested the Ministers to counter the misinformation being spread by some vested interests against the government. 'Despite visible development, implementing poll promises, and delivering good governance, some opposition camps have been spreading misinformation, which must be countered,' he said.

When will you arrest me, when will you shoot?: Didi challenges ‘Malpua'
1 2 Jhargram/Kolkata: Daring BJP to "shoot her", Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday took aim at the party's Bengal minder Amit Malviya for saying that she should be held accountable under NSA "for inciting linguistic conflict". Malviya's comment had come after the CM had criticised Delhi Police for its notice seeking translators for "Bangladeshi national language". "There is one 'Malpua'. He says I should be arrested under the NSA for speaking in favour of Bengali language. If you have the courage, tell me, when will you arrest me and shoot me? Even CPM fired at me. If I could withstand their torture, then I will chase these people away like flies," the CM said at Jhargram after leading a 3-km-long 'Bhasha Andolan' march in Jhargram. Without naming Malviya, the Bengal CM said: "I know of everyone's capabilities. Don't provoke me, else I will dig into history and reveal the names of those who sponsored CBI probes. Do your job properly, show respect and I will respect you."

Saying that BJP can't handle the governance of the country, the CM warned that TMC would hold protest marches across the state whenever BJP bigwigs arrive in Bengal. "The day before yesterday, they did a meeting and said they would surely implement SIR. They won't be able to do anything." She went on to add: "They only want their people to benefit and deny others of their due." Banerjee said it was important for voters to understand BJP's "game plan". "BJP has decided to remove names from the voter list to win elections. They are saying that names must be added afresh. This is a BJP conspiracy to bring NRC. They removed the names of 7 lakh Hindu Bengalis in Assam. Now they are sending notices to people in Cooch Behar and Alipurduar. In MP, a tribal woman whose home is in Malda was deported to Bangladesh. Such atrocities by BJP... are you not ashamed," she asked, alleging that BJP was trying to bring in "party list" in the name of voter list.

No utilisation certificate, WB police funds withheld: Govt
NEW DELHI: Home ministry Wednesday said it has released central assistance of only Rs 7 crore for modernisation of police to West Bengal in the last five years, against the total allocation of Rs 117 crore under the head. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This, it said, was on account of unspent balances and non-submission of utilisation certificates by the state govt. In reply to a question by BJP MP Samik Bhattacharya in RS, Mos (home) Nityanand Rai said Bengal govt, as of July 31 this year, had an unspent balance of Rs 12.5 crore from the funds released to it under the central scheme 'assistance to states and UTs for modernisation of police' (ASUMP). Also, the state was yet to submit a utilisation certificate. Sharing data on the allocation and release of funds to Bengal, Rai said no funds were released in 2021-22, 2023-24 and 2025-26 (so far), despite allocations ranging from Rs 12.2 crore to Rs 28.9 crore. There was a release of Rs 6.5 crore in 2024-25 and Rs 54 lakh in 2022-23, with the latter approved as special grant under the home ministry contingency reserve.
