Representative image (AI)
JIND: Indian national lokdal senior leader Sunaina Chautala said that BJP leaders don't understand the value of a woman's sindoor. A woman applies sindoor in the name of only one man in her life.
The motive behind BJP distributing sindoor from door to door is unclear, but when the time comes, women will give them a fitting reply on their own. She was here in Jind on Wednesday to meet party workers. She was replying to query regarding the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) '
Operation Sindoor
' which will commence on June 9, coinciding with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third oath-taking, to highlight the achievements of the Modi 3.0 government nationwide. As part of this month-long public outreach, BJP aims to connect with every household, particularly by gifting vermillion to women and distributing informative pamphlets
When the country's Prime Minister Narendra Modi cannot keep his own wife with him, how will he understand the value of sindoor (vermillion)? Women apply sindoor only in the name of one man.
Therefore, people will give a better reply to them now," she added.
Sunaina Chautala criticized the BJP for disrespecting women through their recent statements. She stated that rajya sabha member Ramchander Jangra's statement is condemnable. BJP should take action against such leaders. As a woman, I would say that Ramchander Jangra should apologize publicly to the women of the state. INLD's women's wing will protest against Ramchandrr Jangra until he resigns, she added.
"Videos of BJP leaders go viral, but no strict action is taken against them. BJP's actions have been consistently disrespectful towards the dignity of women. They made big promises to women for electoral gains, but none were fulfilled. Even the promise of Rs 2100 for women in Haryana has not been implemented to this day, said Sunaina Chautala.
Speaking on JJP leader Ajay Chautala, she said:
"What Ajay Chautala says is true, he is two years older than Abhay Chautala. There is no contradiction in this. Ajay Chautala is indeed the son of former CM late OP Chautala and older than Abhay by two years. But today, he is not a leader of INLD and should not use photo of Chautala Sahab.
INLD is a party based on the ideologies of late OP Chautala and Devi Lal. The JJP should clarify the intention behind the photo it is using. Now it is time to close the JJP chapter altogether, she added.

UP CM adviser holds talks with Goswami community over Banke Bihari Corridor
Agra: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath's adviser Awanish Kumar Awasthi on Friday, chaired a meeting at the tourist facilitation centre in Vrindavan, to discuss issues related to the proposed Banke Bihari Corridor with members of the Goswami community involved in the management of the temple, local shopkeepers and residents. Speaking to media persons after the meeting, Awasthi said the proposed project aims to enhance facilities for pilgrims, and efficiently manage the increasing pilgrim footfall in the Mathura-Vrindavan area. "The number of pilgrims visiting the area is rising exponentially. Today's meeting focused on how to effectively cater to this surge while ensuring public confidence and participation in the planning process. This was the first round of discussions, and it was very productive," he said. On concerns raised by the Goswami community regarding the project, Awasthi said several suggestions had been put forth during the meeting. "The district magistrate and other officials will carefully evaluate these inputs. The state govt aims to proceed with the most inclusive and best possible option to take the project forward," Awasthi said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Established in 1862 in the heart of Vrindavan, the Shri Banke Bihari temple is administered by Shebaits — a hereditary priesthood responsible for daily rituals and temple management. It remains one of North India's most visited pilgrimage sites. The Supreme Court's May 15 verdict came amid ongoing protests by members of the Goswami community and local residents, who have opposed both the corridor project and the formation of Banke Bihari Temple Trust. The court's decision, delivered by a bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and SC Sharma, cleared the way for the govt to move ahead with its Rs 500 crore redevelopment plan, which includes acquiring nearly five acres of land near the shrine, using temple funds. Calls for redevelopment intensified after a stampede-like incident during Janmashtami celebrations in 2022, left two dead. In Sept 2023, the Allahabad high court directed the state govt to implement a corridor plan for improved crowd management and safety. While officials claim stakeholders were consulted, Shebaits and local residents have alleged they were excluded from the planning process.

To battle floods, Bengal govt to start Teesta dredging soon
1 2 3 Jalpaiguri: With the bed of the Teesta rising around two metres following the 2023 Glacier Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) in Sikkim, Bengal govt has decided to dredge and desilt the river. The GLOF at North Sikkim's South Lhonak Lake in Oct 2023 had significantly impacted the Teesta riverbed with massive silt deposit. Experts fear that if the river is not desilted immediately, a heavy downpour in the upper catchment areas might spell doom for the areas the Teesta flows through. The rising river has already washed away two villages — Laltong and Chamakdangi — in Jalpaiguri's Rajganj block. At least 200 families from the two villages have been relocated to Kholachand Fapri. Bengal govt has decided to engage West Bengal Mineral Development and Trading Corporation Ltd (WBMDTCL) and the irrigation department to desilt some 30 spots on the Teesta from Sevoke railway bridge to Maynaguri's Bakali, across 50 km. "It would be a no-cost-effect dredging and the state will gain revenue by selling the sand and riverbed material," said irrigation minister Manas Bhunia in Jalpaiguri on Thursday after a meeting with departments concerned. A survey by the irrigation department estimates that it would cost about Rs 567 crore to desilt the Teesta if private agencies are involved. "Centre has not given a single penny since 2016 for desilting or bund repairing. This year, Centre has allocated only Rs 412 crore for the entire country's flood management. We, therefore, have decided to desilt Teesta on our own," Bhunia said. The minister also advocated for an India-Bhutan river commission. "There are 76 rivers originating from Bhutan which spell catastrophe for the Dooars every monsoon. They bring along dolomite, raising riverbeds by 4-5 feet. A joint river commission is the need of the hour but Centre is paying no heed to our appeals," he said.
