PM Modi's 11-year tenure is 'Amritkal': Tripura CM Manik Saha
Agartala (Tripura) [India], June 10 (ANI): Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha today described Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 11-year tenure as 'Amritkal', attributing the period to significant strides in development, trust, and transformational change across India. 'Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, the state government is also prioritising development and innovation. During Prime Minister Modi's tenure, around 25 crore people in the country have risen above the poverty line,' Saha said. He was addressing a press conference at the Bharatiya Janata Party's state office in Krishnanagar, Agartala, held to mark the completion of 11 years of the BJP-led NDA government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Highlighting the Prime Minister's political journey, Dr. Saha said, 'Before assuming leadership of the country, Narendra Modi served as the Chief Minister of Gujarat for more than 13 years and transformed it into a model state. After becoming Prime Minister in 2014, he took decisive steps for national development. Over these 11 years, the nation has steadily progressed. Today, people across India and the world recognise--'Modi ji hai to sab mumkin hai'. We have never seen a Prime Minister like him.' The Chief Minister further said that PM Modi's governance focuses on Seva Sushasan and Garib Kalyan. 'From the economically weaker sections to the most marginalised individuals, he has worked to address basic problems and uplift socio-economic conditions. The government's dedication to building a developed India under his leadership is truly commendable,' he added. Saha also spoke about the recent North East Investors Summit held in Delhi, attended by Prime Minister Modi. 'PM Modi clearly stated that India cannot be fully developed until the North East is developed. In the past, fear of terrorism kept people away from this region. But now, the Prime Minister has renamed the North East and Sikkim as Ashtalakshmi, giving special attention to this region's development. Under his leadership, around 11 to 12 agreements have been signed to restore peace and stability in the region,' he said. The Chief Minister also referred to the Prime Minister's monthly radio programme Mann Ki Baat, which is aired on the last Sunday of every month to connect directly with the public. 'Through Mann Ki Baat, the Prime Minister brings important national issues to the forefront. Before 2014, there were serious concerns about the country's future--corruption, scams, and nepotism were widespread, and Tripura was no exception. But now, we have moved past those issues,' Saha concluded. The press conference was attended by the BJP state president and MP Rajya Sabha Rajib Bhattacharjee, general secretary Bipin Debbarma, and Chief spokesperson Subrata Chakraborty. (ANI)

AP: YSRCP women leaders protest in Nellore over
Nellore (Andhra Pradesh) [India], June 10 (ANI): YSRCP women leaders held a massive protest in Andhra Pradesh's Nellore district, alleging rising incidence of atrocities on women under the TDP-led government in the State. They raised slogans against the government, expressing their strong opposition. District Women's Wing President Lakshmi Sunanda stated that since the coalition government came to power, many innocent women have been subjected to atrocities. She alleged that the government has failed to provide protection to women. 'Despite having a woman as the Home Minister, incidents of crimes against women continue to occur every day. We want the state government to take immediate action against the attacks on women,' Sunanda said. Meanwhile, YSRCP President and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has strongly condemned the arrest of senior journalist Kommineni Srinivasa Rao and the 'organised' attacks on Sakshi media offices across the state, calling it a deliberate and orchestrated assault on democracy. In a statement posted on X, Jagan said that Chandrababu Naidu is twisting and misrepresenting words that Kommineni never said, just to implicate him and justify an unlawful arrest falsely. He alleged that as part of a pre-planned conspiracy, TDP-led mobs have vandalised Sakshi unit offices in several districts under the guise of protecting women's dignity. 'This is nothing but a political vendetta masked as concern for women,' Jagan stated. Referring to past remarks by Chandrababu and his brother-in-law, Jagan questioned their moral standing. 'You once asked whether a daughter-in-law prefers her mother-in-law over her husband. Your brother-in-law even said that when you see a girl, you should either kiss her or make her are your standards when it comes to respecting women,' he said. Jagan accused Chandrababu of completely failing to provide safety and justice to women and girls since returning to power. He highlighted the tragic case of Tanmayi, an intermediate student from Anantapur who went missing and was later found brutally murdered, with 'no swift action taken by authorities'. He also pointed to the horrifying case in Ramagiri mandal of Sri Sathya Sai district, where a 9th class girl was blackmailed and raped by 14 men for six months, yet police did not act on her complaint due to fear tactics and negligence. 'In just one year of TDP rule, 188 women and girls were raped, and 15 of them were murdered after the assault. Hundreds of cases of harassment and violence have gone unpunished,' Jagan said, calling it a complete breakdown of law and order. He also said that the TDP regime has destroyed education, healthcare, agriculture, and public safety. 'You gave fake promises like 'Super Six' and 'Super Seven' to win votes, but once in power, you betrayed every single promise. People now see you as a failed, corrupt, and incompetent Chief Minister.' YS Jagan concluded by saying that to escape accountability, Chandrababu is using fake news factories and media manipulation to spread lies and divert attention. 'Your diversion politics won't work forever, Chandrababu garu. People are watching, and they will hold you accountable.' (ANI) .

Atishi slams BJP over Bhoomiheen camp demolition, says party has betrayed promises
New Delhi [India], June 10 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former Delhi Minister Atishi on Tuesday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of betraying its election promises, alleging that the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is going to demolish huts in the Bhoomiheen Camp area of Kalkaji tomorrow (on June 11) without allotting flats to all eligible residents. Speaking at a press conference shortly after being detained and released by Delhi Police during anti-demolition protests, Atishi claimed the DDA and police forcibly evicted residents on Tuesday, despite earlier assurances by Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta that no jhuggi (slum dwelling) would be demolished. 'Just two days ago, the Chief Minister said no jhuggi is being or will ever be demolished in Delhi. That lie has now been exposed. Today, in Bhoomiheen Camp, police, CRPF, and other forces surrounded the area and began forcefully removing people from homes where they have lived for 30 to 50 years. Their children study and work here,' she said. Atishi pointed to the availability of DDA flats nearby, alleging that while over 3,000 flats have been constructed, some as close as 500 meters from the site, only about 1,800 have been allotted. 'If homes are being demolished, where will these people go? The DDA has built 3,024 flats, but only 1,832 have been allotted so far. Why haven't the remaining flats been given to the jhuggi residents? BJP had promised 'jahan jhuggi, wahan makaan' (where there's a hut, there'll be a home), but more than half the people haven't received anything,' she said. She also questioned the Delhi government's claim that it is merely complying with court orders. Atishi alleged that when the residents approached the Delhi High Court seeking flats, the DDA and government opposed them and instead advocated for demolition. 'The court's order came after the BJP-led DDA and government told the court that these jhuggis should be razed. Now they are hiding behind the court's order,' Atishi said. A resident of the Bhoomiheen Camp also spoke at the press conference, alleging that while the government claims over 1,000 people have been allotted flats, many families were left out of the official survey and denied allotments. 'Our matter was in the Delhi High Court. The government says 1,029 people have been given flats, but they hid the fact that over 100 people were not even included in the survey. That's why we went to court. Though we got a stay initially, government lawyers opposed us, and we didn't get further time from the court,' the resident said. Earlier in the day, while participating in an anti-demolition protest, Atishi said, 'BJP is going to demolish these jhuggis tomorrow, and I am being jailed today because I am raising my voice for these slum dwellers. 'BJP aur Rekha Gupta ko jhuggi waalon ki haay lagegi.' ... BJP will never come back.' On Monday, June 9, the DDA issued notices to residents of Bhoomiheen Camp in Kalkaji Extension, directing them to vacate their premises within three days, June 8, 9, and 10, following High Court orders for the demolition of illegal structures. According to the notice, residents have been asked to vacate voluntarily within three days. The notice states that failure to comply will lead to demolition action by the authorities. 'Any belongings left inside the huts during demolition will be removed, and the agency will not be held responsible for any damage or loss to personal property,' the DDA notice read. It also urged residents to maintain peace and cooperate with officials to ensure a smooth and orderly process. (ANI)
