Modi govt transformed good governance into culture: UP Dy CM
Varanasi: Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 11-year regime in his parliamentary constituency as extraordinary, deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said, "In 11 years, the Modi govt transformed service into commitment, good governance into culture, and security became the top priority. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 27 crore people rose above the poverty line, and these individuals were provided with basic amenities such as food, housing, and healthcare." Maurya was addressing a press conference at the circuit house here on Wednesday to highlight the achievements of the Modi govt's 11 years. Attacking the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, he said that the top leaders of the Congress and the Samajwadi Party were suffering from an anti-national mindset during this period. "The opposition leaders in parliament, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav are driven by anti-national tendencies. Rahul Gandhi speaks the language of Pakistan and views Indian politics from China's perspective. UPCC president Ajay Rai should first gain the ability to reach any house before commenting on issues like Rafale." Maurya said that the days are not far when the Samajwadi Party will become the Samaptwadi (finished) Party as the public has rejected Akhilesh Yadav's negative politics. He also warned the officials showing negligence in Varanasi's development projects and said that strict action would be taken if any discrepancies are found. Highlighting major achievements of Modi govt, the deputy CM noted that India made historic progress in all areas, including security, economy, technology, infrastructure, space science, Digital India, women's empowerment, environmental protection, education, agriculture, and health. He mentioned that India became self-reliant in defense, strengthened by indigenous weapons like S-400, BrahMos, and Tejas. A stern message was sent to Pakistan regarding terrorism, and operations like Sindhu made the country's borders more secure than ever.

The demonstrations, which began Friday, and isolated acts of violence prompted Trump to take the extraordinary step of sending in troops, over the objection of the state protester said that the arrest of migrants in a city with large immigrant and Latino populations was the root of the unrest. "I don't think that part of the problem is the peaceful protests. It's whatever else is happening on the other side that is inciting violence," she said Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said the curfew-meant to stop vandalism and looting-was in effect within one square mile of the city's more-than-500 square mile area (from 03:00 to 13: 00 GMT).

Mysuru: MLC Yathindra Siddaramaiah, son of CM Siddaramaiah, on Wednesday stated that Congress high command has not given any deadline to his father. He stated that Siddaramaiah will complete a full five-year term. "There is no danger for his CM post. He will complete the term," Yathindra told reporters. He also stated that the Delhi meeting was convened to discuss the deadlock over caste census. "During the discussion, the Bengaluru stampede issue was also discussed," he said. He accused BJP and JD(S) of following double standards while demanding the resignation of CM Siddaramaiah for the stampede. Similar stampedes claimed lives during Kumbh Mela and at Tirupati, but the BJP is silent on both the incidents. However, the Karnataka govt has ordered a judicial investigation into the Bengaluru stampede. "Truth will come after the investigation," he said. "How many leaders have resigned for stampede deaths in BJP and NDA-ruled states? Has the BJP taken any action against those who are responsible?" he asked.
