Don't fall for monetary offers to switch sides, stay united: Uddhav to party workers
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday asked his party cadre not to fall prey to monetary offers for switching sides and appealed to them to stay united for the sake of Mumbai. The comments come ahead of the polls to various local and civic bodies in Maharashtra, including the cash-rich Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), likely to be held later this year. The Shiv Sena split in June 2022 after a rebellion led by Eknath Shinde and resulted in the collapse of the then Thackeray-headed Maha Vikas Aghadi government.

The source quoted Thackeray as saying that the shakha pramukhs and other lower-rung cadres form the core strength of the party, and because of their unity and strength, the organisation won elections in Mumbai in the past. Live Events "For the civic polls, unity is necessary. You may be getting monetary offers to switch sides. For how much time will the money suffice? Those who want to finish off Uddhav Thackeray and Shiv Sena have only business angle in mind. They want to sell off Mumbai and hand it over to corporates," the source quoted Thackeray as saying. "Those who are falling prey to monetary considerations don't understand that they are being used and will be thrown away later," the former chief minister said. He asked the shakha pramukhs to reach out to people in all the 227 wards of the BMC, strengthen the grassroot network and connect with the people, the source said. Ahead of the coming local body polls, the BJP-led Mahayuti state government has issued orders for ward delimitation in all 29 municipal corporations, including Mumbai. PTI

Modernisation of police force began in Uttar Pradesh after BJP came to power in 2017: Amit Shah
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday (June 15, 2025) said that while modernisation of India's police forces began nationwide under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, Uttar Pradesh's efforts in this regard commenced only in 2017 after the formation of a BJP government under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Amit Shah launches camp for BJP leaders from M.P.; Rajnath Singh, B.L. Santhosh, Shivraj Chouhan to address sessions "The Centre's reforms were not visible in Uttar Pradesh from 2014 to 2017," Mr. Shah said after distributing job letters to the newly-recruited constables of Uttar Pradesh Police at a ceremony held in Lucknow. Mr. Shah also said India will be a global leader by 2047, with Uttar Pradesh playing a crucial role. The Home Minister was accompanied by Yogi Adityanath and Deputy Chief Ministers Brajesh Pathak and Keshav Prasad Maurya, among other senior officials. Amit Shah's speech in Madurai abominable, divisive and misleading: DMK leader A. Raja 'The event marked the biggest-ever direct recruitment drive for civil police constables in the history of the State police,' the Uttar Pradesh Government said in a statement. Under the 'Civil Police Direct Recruitment' drive, as many as 48,196 male and 12,048 female candidates have been selected by the Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board.

AAP leader Sonia Mann urges Congress to support government action against drug trafficking in Punjab
LUDHIANA: Responding to Congress leader Alka Lamba 's "statement" on the drug issue in Punjab , Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sonia Mann countered by saying that the role of the opposition is not just to criticise the govt but also to "acknowledge" and appreciate its "good work". Sonia Mann said that for the "first time", a govt in Punjab is taking such "massive action" against drug traffickers. 'Anti-drug committees have been formed in every village, and large-scale awareness campaigns are being conducted. This deserves praise, but it is unfortunate that opposition leaders are resorting to petty politics even on an issue like drugs,' she claimed. Sonia Mann further added that during Congress's tenure, several ministers and MLAs were themselves accused of being involved in drug trafficking. 'Alka Lamba should say something about that as well, and she should question Punjab Congress President Raja Warring on why he is advocating for opening opium theke, which would only encourage drug use,' she remarked. She alleged that the Congress and Akali govts "promoted" drug use in Punjab by providing political patronage to traffickers. 'This resulted in the destruction of thousands of families, with countless parents losing their children and many children becoming orphans. In contrast, the AAP govt is taking strict action against drug traffickers, sending them to jail, and demolishing their illegal properties. This has created a significant fear among drug traffickers,' Mann claimed. She urged Congress leaders to support the govt's "efforts" to rid Punjab of drugs as quickly as possible, instead of "politicising" the issue.
