Haryana CM holds meeting in Gurugram, discusses programs to mark 11 years of Modi govt
According to an official statement, CM Saini at the meeting presented the achievements of the Modi government and appealed to everyone to convey it to every household.
State President Mohan Lal Baroli, National Vice President Rekha Verma, National Secretary Om Prakash Dhankhar, Organization Minister Phanindranath Sharma along with state ministers, MLAs and MPs attended the meeting.
Gurugram, Jun 1 (PTI) Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Sunday held a meeting at the party office in Gururgam and discussed programmes to mark 11 years of the Narendra Modi government, an official said.
BJP National Vice President Rekha Verma gave information about all the programs to be held in June.
While addressing the workshop, the CM said that whatever Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in 2014, he completed it in the last 11 years.
If we evaluate the period before and after BJP came to power, we will see a huge difference. India has progressed rapidly in these 11 years, he said.
'India's respect in the world has increased under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi. He has pledged to make India a developed country by 2047 and we all have to achieve this pledge together,' Saini said.
'In 11 years, the lives of people have become easier. Every district is connected with four-lane roads and the infrastructure of the country and the state has become stronger,' he said.
Saini said that PM Modi had pledged to make India the fifth largest economy and brought the resolution to fruition and after becoming the fifth largest economy, the country has now become the fourth largest economy in the world.
Soon India will be the third largest economy, he said.
'After independence, development did not happen at the pace that was expected, but in 11 years under the leadership of PM Modi, India is touching new heights of development,' the CM added.
Meanwhile, targeting the opposition, Verma said that after the country gained independence, the governments of that time kept the country behind in matters of development.
'If Sardar Patel had been the Prime Minister of India instead of Jawaharlal Nehru, there would have been no problem with Article 370. The country has been transformed after the formation of the government under the leadership of PM Modi in 2014,' she added.
BJP national secretary Om Prakash Dhankar said that now India is moving ahead by adopting a new normal under the leadership of PM Modi.
He appealed to the workers to go door-to-door and make people realize the achievements of 11 years, he said.

Bengaluru stampede: BCCI ducks blame, CM Siddaramaiah cites Kumbh Mela and blames RCB fans, BJP targets Karnataka govt
A night of victory for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) turned into a horrific tragedy as a tragic stampede outside M Chinnaswamy stadium claimed 11 lives and injured 33 others during IPL victory celebrations on Wednesday. What should have been a historic celebration for RCB fans has instead become a heartbreaking episode marked by mourning and political blame games. Soon after the news of the stampede broke out in the Congress-ruled Karnataka, chief minister Siddaramaiah expressed his deep condolences and announced ₹10 lakh compensation for victims' kin. 'This tragedy should not have happened. The government expresses deep sorrow over this incident,' he added. Ordering a magisterial inquiry into the tragedy with a deadline of 15 days, Siddaramaiah said the incident should not be politicised, 'Such incidents happened in many places, 50-60 people died in Kumbh Mela. I did not criticise. If the Congress criticises, that is a different matter. Did I or the Karnataka government criticise?' Karnataka CM was talking about the recent stampede at Maha Kumbh mela in BJP-ruled state of Uttar Pradesh that claimed the lives at least 30 people. Also read | Bengaluru stampede: Karnataka high court takes suo motu cognisance, to hear matter today Explaining what led to the stampede at Chinaswamy stadium, he said, 'The match happened last evening (Tuesday), and today (Wednesday) this event was organised by the cricket association. No one expected such a huge crowd. The stadium has a capacity of only 35,000 people, but 2-3 lakh people came.' 'There were over 1.5 lakh people at the gates, banging and eventually breaking through in some places. The attempt to enter the stadium resulted in the stampede.' He added, 'There are small gates. The people entered through the gates. They have also broken the gates, so a stampede has taken place. Prima facie, it looks like that. I am not saying that nothing has happened. The inquiry will bring out facts.' BJP MP Tejasvi Surya criticised the Congress-led state government, accusing it of turning the celebration into a political spectacle without adequate preparation. 'The stampede was completely avoidable. It was state-orchestrated,' Surya said, alleging that an open invitation by CM Siddaramaiah on social media triggered an uncontrollable flood of fans without proper crowd and security measures in place. Also read | Bengaluru stampede: What led to deadly crush at RCB's IPL victory event? 'You cannot blame RCB, Virat Kohli, or even the fans. If there is anyone responsible, it is the CM and the deputy CM who wanted to hog undeserving limelight and made this an entire family function of the Congress leaders.' He questioned the value of the magisterial inquiry, 'Keep this 15-day report yourself in your house. Who cares? Will this 15-day magisterial report help these families?' Surya also appealed to the RCB management: 'It is the moral responsibility of RCB to also generously compensate the victims of this stampede. RCB and RCB's superstar cricketers have made hundreds of crores from the love of fans... now it is time for RCB to also be in terms of distress and challenge with the fans and their families.' Union minister HD Kumaraswamy blamed deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar directly. 'The person responsible for this tragedy must be immediately sacked from the cabinet,' he declared from New Delhi. Slamming the Congress-led administration, Kumaraswamy said, 'We have a Chief Minister who is completely inactive. He has no control over the Deputy CM... The Congress government is being run by arrogant fools.' The Board of Control for Cricket in India, meanwhile, denied any role in organising the event. IPL chairman Arun Dhumal said, 'We had no information that such an event was being planned... If such events are planned in the future, then proper arrangements should be made.' "We express condolences to the families of the deceased. A title win was to be celebrated; rather, the loss of lives is being mourned," Dhumal added. Rejecting accusations, he asked, 'How can we be held responsible? Have you seen any IPL officials at the gate, managing the crowd?' BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia added, 'There were some lapses. The BCCI has no role in it. But it's a lesson to learn.' The Bengaluru police conceded that they were overwhelmed. 'The crowd was beyond our control,' a senior officer told HT on condition of anonymity. Police said around 50,000 people packed a one-kilometre radius near the stadium. Narrow gates and mass pressure triggered the deadly crush. 'We had to resort to a lathi charge at some points... the pressure of the crowd caused the tragedy,' said the officer. Fans had started gathering as early as afternoon, climbing trees, scaling cars and walls, and screaming 'RCB! RCB!' in desperation for a glimpse of the players. While some had tickets, others with free passes reportedly forced their way in, contributing to the chaos. Deputy CM DK Shivakumar promised a detailed probe and claimed, 'We want to know the facts and give a clear message.' He also countered the BJP's attack, 'BJP is doing politics... We are very sorry for the incident. We will work out a better solution in the future.' The state cancelled all government events, including World Environment Day celebrations, in a show of mourning. Reiterating Siddaramaiah's sentiments, he said, 'We never expected such a big crowd. The stadium's capacity is 35,000, but over 3 lakh people were there. Gates have been broken. We apologise for this incident.' However, he defended the police force's efforts, saying, 'I should compliment my Police officers... they guided us not to bring a vehicle procession from the airport... we were very cautious at Vidhana Soudha too.' The tragedy unfolded rapidly on Wednesday afternoon as thousands of RCB fans thronged the M Chinnaswamy Stadium for the team's IPL victory celebration.

Modi govt to give toughest punishment to Pakistan now, India prepares big plan for Indus river
Modi govt to give toughest punishment to Pakistan now, India prepares big plan for Indus river India in the wake up terrorist attack in Pahalgam, has put the Indus Waters Treaty at abeyance and now the central government is preparing to speed up the completion of the projects being built in the Indus River Basin. The government wants that maximum water from the Indus River can be used in Jammu and Kashmir. The central government will soon give all kinds of approvals to speed up the work on important projects related to it. Actually, the Modi government wants that all the projects related to it should be completed as soon as possible, so that the water of this river can be fully used for the Indian states. Indus river basin projects will get necessary approval According to reports, Union environment minister Bhupendra Yadav said that the ministry will give all the necessary approvals to expedite the completion of these important projects. He said, 'The ministry will ensure that all green clearances/regulatory approvals for these strategic projects are given expeditiously. Also, proper scientific rigor will be maintained in the evaluation process.' This means that the government wants to complete these projects as quickly as possible, keeping the environment in mind, but all kinds of scientific standards will be taken care of. Work will be done on hydroelectric projects, construction of large reservoirs Not just hydropower projects, the government will also approve irrigation and water storage schemes soon. Hydropower projects will not only produce electricity but also help in storing water. Hydropower projects like Uri Stage-II (240 MW), Kirthai-II (930 MW) and Sawalkot (1856 MW) are still awaiting approval. These projects will not only generate electricity but will also create reservoirs to store water. This will solve the water problem in the area. Pakistan to face more trouble The environment ministry has already taken several steps to expedite the process of green clearance. A single-window portal has also been created for this. The statement of the Union minister shows that the government is giving priority to strategically important projects. That is, the government wants to complete these projects as soon as possible. This will bring many benefits to the country. Electricity will be available, irrigation will take place and the water problem will also be solved. However, this news is no less than a nightmare for Pakistan . Because, as India establishes its control over the water of the Indus river basin, the flow of water going towards it will decrease.

We apologise for this incident. We want to know the facts and give a clear message," he said. He accused the opposition BJP of politicising the event, adding: "BJP is doing politics. We are very sorry for the incident. We will work out a better solution in the future."

"Tomorrow, except the cabinet meeting, all programmes have been postponed. No celebrations, including the World Environment Day." Shivakumar added.

The government expresses deep sorrow over this incident," he added. The chief minister also confirmed that a magisterial inquiry had been ordered into the incident, with a report expected in 15 days. "I don't want to defend this incident. Our government will not do politics on this. I have ordered a magisterial inquiry and given 15 days' time. People even broke the gates of the stadium. There was a stampede. No one expected such a huge crowd. The stadium has a capacity of only 35,000 people, but 2-3 lakh people came," Siddaramaiah said.
