Amit Shah vows to eliminate Naxalism by 2026
Nizamabad (Telangana), June 29 (UNI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's goal is to eliminate both terrorism and Naxalism from the country by March 30, 2026.
He was addressing farmers at the Kisan Maha Sammelan held at the Polytechnic Grounds after inaugurating the National Turmeric Board Office in Nizamabad district on Sunday.
Shah called upon Naxalites to immediately stop violence and surrender, stating that over 10,000 Naxalites have already laid down arms and rejoined the mainstream.
'Pakistan tried to intimidate us with the Pahalgam attack, but the world saw India's strength. The Modi government is determined not only to defeat terrorism but also to wipe out Naxalism by 2026,' he said.
Turning to political matters, Shah expressed confidence in the BJP's rise in Telangana, saying, 'The enthusiasm among our workers reflects our imminent victory. BJP will definitely come to power in Telangana.'
He praised MP Dharmapuri Arvind for fulfilling his promise to the people by securing the Turmeric Board for Nizamabad.
'Modi delivers what he promises. After four decades of struggle, Nizamabad has received the Turmeric Board. Its headquarters will be set up here, benefiting thousands of local farmers,' Shah said.
He also announced the setting up of Bharat Organic Limited and Bharat Export Limited in Nizamabad, which will facilitate turmeric exports to America and Europe.
Criticising opposition parties, Shah questioned whether the BRS government was involved in corruption, citing issues with the Dharani Portal and Kaleshwaram Project.
'BRS may be out of power, but corruption hasn't gone away. The Congress party has turned Telangana into an ATM for Delhi,' he alleged.
Union Minister and Telangana BJP President G. Kishan Reddy thanked PM Modi and Amit Shah on behalf of Telangana's farmers. He noted that despite turmeric being grown in other states, Nizamabad was chosen for the board headquarters, showcasing the Centre's commitment to the state's farmers.
Reddy highlighted several Central initiatives, including uninterrupted power supply, a Rs 3,500 urea subsidy, the Ramagundam fertilizer plant, and the PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi, under which funds are transferred directly to farmers' bank accounts.
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar lauded the farmers of Nizamabad for their persistent struggle. Calling them 'heroes,' he asked the crowd to applaud Amit Shah for his support and praised MP Arvind Dharmapuri, popularly known as 'Pasupu Arvind,' for his key role in achieving the board.
He added that the Modi government's vision is not just to make farmers kings, but 'kings and maharajas,' and urged the public to give BJP a chance in Telangana.
The event was attended by Nizamabad district in-charge Minister Seethakka, Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao, National Turmeric Board Chairman Palle Gangareddy, Secretary Bhavani Sri, MP Dharmapuri Arvind, Dr. Laxman, and Urban MLA Dhanpal Suryanarayana Gupta.

We are standing there [some distance away] to catch them. Whoever breaks a leg, come to me and take a reward," the cop said. The remark was given after Congress workers in Odisha protested against the death of three people in a stampede at the Puri Jaganath Rath Yatra.

"There is a place, time and context in everything. Where was it happening, when was it happening... If you see the video, I told the personnel that 'we are there to arrest them'," he told NDTV, adding that the order was given in case of any unruly protestors who breach the first barricade. "The order was to detain unruly protesters at the first barricade itself. However, if somebody breached the two barricades and went beyond them, then that person has already broken the law. He is part of an unlawful assembly. We are free to apply maximum force to stop unlawful assembly," he added.

LIVE news updates: Debate underway in Senate on Trump's big bill; overnight voting delayed
Latest news updates: The Senate is engaged in an overnight session Sunday, as Republicans push President Donald Trump's major tax cut and spending reduction bill through despite strong Democratic resistance and some hesitation from Trump himself over the proposed budget cuts. The final result of the Senate's weekend efforts remains unpredictable. GOP leaders are scrambling to meet Trump's July 4 deadline to pass the legislation, managing only a narrow procedural win in a tense vote the day prior. Several Republican senators initially opposed the measure, requiring intervention through calls from Trump and a personal visit from Vice President J D Vance to maintain momentum. President Droupadi Murmu will serve as the chief guest at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute's convocation ceremony, taking place Monday at Swami Vivekananda Auditorium, according to an official announcement. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, two governors, and two Union ministers are also expected to be present. Upon her arrival from Delhi, President Murmu will be formally received by Chief Minister Adityanath and Governor Anandiben Patel, said IVRI Director Triveni Dutt. Located in Izatnagar, Bareilly, the ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute focuses on research and development in veterinary and animal sciences. In a northern Idaho mountain town on Sunday, a sniper opened fire on firefighters responding to a blaze, killing at least two people and sustaining gunfire for hours in what the governor described as a brutal attack. The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office reported that emergency crews arrived at the Canfield Mountain fire near Coeur d'Alene around 1:30 pm local time, with gunshots erupting approximately 30 minutes later.
