Sanjay Raut
on Friday launched a targeted attack on Prime Minister
Narendra Modi
over the condition of roads in PM's parliamentary constituency, Varanasi.

Visuals of a collapsed road in Varanasi have gone viral on social media. TOI also reported that pilgrims and kanwariyas travelling to Kashi during the holy month of Shrawan, beginning July 11, may encounter difficulties because of the poor condition of the route, especially near Godowlia.

Further taking jibe at PM Modi, Raut said, "
Vikas purush Ghana, Tinidad Tibago jaise mahaan desho'n mein ghoom rahe hain. Banaras ki janta unko dhoondh rahi hai.
(The 'Vikas Purush' is touring great countries like Ghana, Trinidad and Tobago, having food with them. People of Varanasi are searching for him.) Several accidents have taken place on pothole-filled roads in Varanasi, but nobody cares about it. The PM will come on helicopter, he won't be able to see these potholes."

Shiv Sena-UBT don't support any kind of assault: Anand Dubey slams Nitesh Rane over shopkeeper incident
Mumbai: As political tensions in Maharashtra continue to rise over Hindi language imposition, Shiv Sena-UBT spokesperson Anand Dubey on Friday strongly condemned the remarks made by BJP leader and Maharashtra Minister Nitesh Rane regarding a recent assault incident. Dubey made it clear that his party does not support any form of violence or assault, and accused the BJP of politicising the issue to provoke communal sentiments. The controversy stems from a recent incident involving a shopkeeper who was reportedly assaulted for refusing to speak Marathi. In reaction, BJP leader Nitesh Rane issued a provocative statement directed at Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), challenging them to confront Muslims who, he claimed, also don't speak Marathi. Rane warned that if Hindus were targeted, the "third eye" of the Mahayuti government would be awakened. Speaking to IANS, Anand Dubey said: "Our party categorically does not support any form of assault or violence. People who speak Hindi, Gujarati, Marwari – they are all our fellow countrymen. They have been living and working in Maharashtra for decades. We believe they should learn Marathi, which is a beautiful language written in the Devanagari script. In fact, the Shiv Sena-UBT is even ready to teach Marathi to those who want to learn it." Dubey emphasised that the recent incident was a personal dispute and should not be blown out of proportion. 'This was not a linguistic issue. BJP is trying to provoke the matter for political mileage. We, in the Shiv Sena-UBT, promote harmony, peace, and unity among all communities,' he added. Dubey further reacted to AIMIM chief and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi's recent criticism of the Uttar Pradesh administration for allegedly enabling vigilante groups to harass hotel staff during the ongoing Kanwar Yatra. Owaisi had questioned why such groups are being allowed to operate as a 'parallel government,' citing reports of pilgrims forcing men to remove their pants to 'prove their religion.' Dubey responded by saying: "The Kanwar Yatra is a sacred pilgrimage in Hinduism where devotees offer water to Lord Shiva. While security is important and the police must maintain order, the enforcement should be lawful and respectful. Mixing faith with aggression or coercion is unacceptable. Sentiments must be protected, but not at the cost of dignity. Law enforcement must act with sensitivity and discretion." Addressing Owaisi's announcement that the AIMIM may contest the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections in alliance with the INDIA Bloc, Dubey clarified the Shiv Sena-UBT's stance. "Political alliances are a party's internal matter. The AIMIM is not part of the INDIA bloc, while the RJD is. Bihar's political landscape is based on its own dynamics, and every state has different socio-political realities. Maharashtra's politics cannot be compared with Bihar's,: Dubey said. Dubey also reacted to the ongoing debate surrounding the Election Commission of India's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls ahead of the Bihar polls. Several opposition parties, including INDIA Bloc members, have raised serious concerns about potential voter disenfranchisement, claiming that the SIR could result in the removal of over two crore voters. Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has maintained that the process is fair, inclusive, and transparent. He stated that the goal is to include all eligible voters while removing only those who are ineligible. Despite this reassurance, Dubey expressed scepticism, citing past concerns over the neutrality of the Election Commission. "We expect CEC Gyanesh Kumar to ensure there is no tampering or carelessness in the electoral roll. Every Indian citizen who wants to register to vote must be allowed to do so through a fair and transparent process. The BJP's political manipulations should not be allowed to interfere with democracy," he said. "We have witnessed the golden era of election commissioners like T.N. Seshan, who upheld the integrity of the democratic process. Today, however, it feels as if the Election Commission is increasingly acting under pressure from the Central government. We hope Gyanesh Kumar will take steps to restore public trust, especially with Bihar's elections around the corner."

Survey of mangrove forests along state coastline underway: Maha Forest Minister
Mumbai: Maharashtra Forest Minister Ganesh Naik on Friday said the government has launched a survey of the mangrove forests along the coast of the state from the border of Gujarat to the border of Goa. The survey will help to find out the exact area of mangrove forests in the state. He was responding to a question raised by Shiv Sena-UBT leader Bhaskar Jadhav during the Question Hour. Minister Naik said, "Instructions have been given to install CCTV for the protection of mangrove forests in Palghar district. It has also been instructed that officers of the Forest, Revenue and Home Departments should patrol alternately for the protection of mangrove forests. If debris from Mumbai is found being dumped in mangrove forests, legal action will be taken against them." He responded to another question raised by BJP member Sneha Dube Pandit who raised the issue of the reckless cutting of mangroves in Vasai and around Palghar district. The minister also informed that a review petition will be filed in the Supreme Court regarding the verdict on the conservation of mangrove forests. Meanwhile, Environment Minister Pankaja Munde said that there are mangrove forests in the fields or personal lands of farmers on the seashore. Farmers will be empowered to protect these mangrove forests. "The government will take positive steps to provide 'carbon credits' for the protection of mangrove forests in such places," she added during her reply to a question by BJP legislator Manisha Chaudhari. Pankaja Munde said that strict legal action will be taken against those who encroach on mangrove forests. The Forest Department has a ' Mangrove Cell ' for the protection and conservation of mangrove forests. The work of mangrove conservation is being done through this cell. "Action will definitely be taken against those who are creating an imbalance in the environment by degrading the mangrove forests on the coast of Maharashtra. About 19 cases have been registered in this regard," she said. However, BJP legislator Sneha Dube Pandit said no arrests took place in these cases and demanded that stringent provisions should be made so that those booked in such offences do not easily get bail. Pandit said the period of imprisonment in cases involving the hacking of mangroves should be increased to seven years from five years.

Uncertainty over Pawar's attendance at Thackeray cousins' victory rally
MUMBAI: As Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray prepare to share the stage for the first time in over two decades, uncertainty looms over whether NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar will join them at the joint victory rally on July 5 in Mumbai. Uncertainty over Pawar's attendance at Thackeray cousins' victory rally The event, to be held at the National Sports Club of India (NSCI) in Worli, is being celebrated as a win for pro-Marathi voices, following the state government's decision to scrap two controversial government resolutions that mandated the teaching of Hindi as a third language from Class 1. Cousins Uddhav and Raj Thackeray have hailed the rollback as a victory of Marathi identity, supported by civil society and regional parties including the NCP (SP). While NCP (SP) has announced it will participate in the rally and has asked its workers to attend, a debate is underway within the party about whether Pawar himself should be present. According to senior leaders, the 83-year-old leader's presence could be politically sensitive. 'Pawar saheb has a distinct stature in state and national politics. The focus at the rally will be on the Thackeray cousins' rare public reunion. It may overshadow Pawar, which many believe does not align with his standing,' said a senior NCP (SP) leader, requesting anonymity. In Pawar's absence, the party may be represented by national working president Supriya Sule and state president Jayant Patil. The veteran leader, meanwhile, returned to Pune on Thursday, leaving his participation uncertain till the last minute.
