"Heartfelt gratitude to central leadership, CM Dhami": BJP MP Mahendra Bhatt on being re-elected as Uttarakhand BJP chief
Speaking to ANI, Mahendra Bhatt emphasised that party's focus will be on winning the upcoming Panchayat elections and State Assembly polls.
BJP MP Mahendra Bhatt has been re-elected as Uttarakhand BJP for the second time in row. He has been holding the position of state BJP chief since July 30, 2022.
Meanwhile, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday virtually addressed the Shrimad Bhagwat Saptaah Gyan Yagna-Shrimad Bhagwat Katha organised by Jagdish Swaroop Vidyanand Ashram Trust at Bhimgoda, Haridwar, from his residence.
Addressing the event, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that both the congregation of saints and Hari Katha are rare and both are obtained only by good fortune.
'Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran is not an ordinary text but is the embodiment of the divine words of Shri Krishna himself. In this, an excellent description of the four purusharthas of devotion, knowledge, detachment and religion is found,' he said.
CM Dhami said that in today's era, when man is mentally and spiritually disturbed in the race of materialism, at such a time, listening to the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha shows us the path of inner peace, solutions and self-realisation. (ANI)

TN custodial death: BJP MLA sees DMK govt's gradual departure from ethical responsibilities
Salem: The custodial death of a youth in Sivaganga indicates the DMK govt's gradual departure from its ethical responsibilities, BJP MLA Vanathi Srinivasan on Tuesday. Vanathi said such incidents were not new under the DMK govt. Vanathi was speaking at a model parliament event in Salem, which held to mark the 50th anniversary of the Emergency imposed by the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, in 1975. Model parliaments are being conducted nationwide by the BJP's women's and youth wings. Reflecting on the Emergency period, Vanathi remarked that it was the Congress party that undermined the Indian Constitution. "Congress claims that the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi do not uphold the Constitution. If they fail to respond to these allegations, it will become evident that their claims hold merit," she said. The BJP MLA criticized the govt for continuously asserting that the Centre had enforced Hindi. She questioned, "Has the central govt ever instructed anyone to learn Hindi?" She said there was no basis for such claims.

"We must ensure that the DMK is ousted in the upcoming 2026 elections, and then we will determine our next steps," she said.

BJP man held for hate speech
Namakkal: A 28-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday for his social media remarks targeting a minority community. The Nallipalayam police identified the arrested person as S Praveen Raj, of Muthukalipatty in Rasipuram taluk. A functionary of the BJP IT wing, Praveen was posting messages on social media under the pseudonym of Sanghi Prince, a police officer said. On Tuesday, Praveen in his post on X referred to the recent custodial death in Sivaganga, stating that he would be the next Ajith Kumar, but the difference would be that he would be a victim of terrorism. "He had in the past circulated videos against deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin," the officer said. On seeing the post on X, the Namakkal district cybercrime police lodged a complaint with the Nallipalayam police, who took him into custody. He has been booked under sections 196 (promotion of enmity between various groups based on religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, caste, or community) and 346 (removal, destruction, defacement, or addition to any property mark, with the intent or knowledge that it may likely cause harm to any individual) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. District superintendent of police S Rajesh Kannan urged the public to refrain from expressing their views on social media in ways that could provoke caste or religious sentiments, potentially leading to law and order issues.
