Bhubaneswar: CM Mohan Charan Majhi on Friday made a commitment to Prime Minister
Narendra Modi
that Odisha will contribute significantly to the nation's development by 2047, aligning with the PM's Purvodaya vision.
Modi was in the city to grace the first anniversary of the BJP govt in Odisha. "Our goal is to transform Odisha into a major industrial hub in eastern India. I am fully confident that under your (PM Modi's) guidance, 'Purvodaya' vision will certainly be achieved in Odisha," Majhi said.
Praising the Operation Sindoor initiative, Majhi said, "People were earlier saying, Modi hai to mumkin hai. Now people are saying Modi hai to desh surakshit hai."
Acknowledging Modi's leadership in advancing national growth across sectors, Majhi noted Odisha's substantial progress over the past year. He referenced the state's evolving role in India's development, as outlined in the Vision Document 2036 and 2047, which Modi unveiled.
The 'Odisha Vision Document', developed through public consultation, charts the state's development trajectory. It aligns with two significant milestones: Odisha's centenary in 2036 and 100 years of India's Independence in 2047.

"Odisha will contribute significantly to the growth of India and become a growth engine by 2047, envisioned by PM Modi ji. Odisha targets a $500 billion economy by 2036 and a $1.5 trillion economy by 2047," Majhi said, adding, "Based on the road map prepared by the PM, our state will become prosperous, and the country will become a developed India."
Majhi said that within 140 days, the state govt executed several investment MoUs, launching 56 enterprises with investments totalling about Rs 1.80 lakh crore.
"Under your (PM's) guidance, we have been working tirelessly every moment for the service of the people of Odisha for the past year. Our programmes continue uninterrupted, keeping in mind the four groups you mentioned — the poor, farmers, women, and youth. In our govt's first year, we have achieved many milestones," Majhi said.
Majhi emphasised successful implementation of various schemes including Rs 800 as additional input assistance on paddy purchase, CM Kisan, Subhadra Yojna, Lakhpati Didi, integrated Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana and Gopabandhu Jan Arogya Yojana, Godabarish Mishra model primary school scheme, Madho Singh Haath Kharcha scheme, Viksit Gaon Viksit Odisha Yojana, Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah Yojana, Shri Jagannath Darshan Yojana and Mukhyamantri Kamdhenu Yojana.

Kolkata Police detain Union Minister Sukanta Majumder from meeting ‘dissident' British-Indian doctor

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State President and Union Minister, Sukanta Majumdar, was detained on Friday (June 20, 2025) in Kolkata's Bhawanipore while trying to meet an NRI doctor who had protested during Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's visit to Kellogg College in the United Kingdom earlier this year. Chaos unfolded in Bhawanipore on Friday afternoon as Mr. Majumdar tried making his way through Harish Mukherjee Road in South Kolkata's Bhawanipore to meet Dr. Rajat Subhra Banerjee at his residence. At first, Mr Majumdar's vehicle was stopped on his way. Then, from amidst a large crowd of BJP supporters and media personnel, he and Dr Rajat were detained and taken to the Kolkata Police headquarters at Lalbazar in a police car. 'Dr. Rajat's house is located on 186C Harish Mukherjee Road, adjoining the residence of Trinamool's Abhishek Banerjee. The doctor had asked the Chief Minister certain questions during her visit to Kellogg College. Since his return to Kolkata, some mafia-like doctors and people claiming to represent the West Bengal Medical Council have been harassing him,' the Union Minister said after his detainment. The BJP legislator said that the doctor had invited him to his house for tea, and accused the police of blocking his vehicle from approaching the doctor's house and jamming the road for hours. 'Today, when I went to visit Dr. Banerjee at his residence, I was blocked by the spineless, servile Kolkata Police — acting on Mamata Banerjee's direct orders. This isn't merely disgraceful — it is a blatant attack on personal liberty and the fundamental rights guaranteed in a democracy,' Mr. Majumder later wrote on X. Dr. Rajat was released from Lalbazar hours later. After leaving the Kolkata Police headquarters, he told mediapersons that he is a British passport holder and an Overseas Citizen of India, and he would take legal action against the police for 'physically assaulting him'. 'My house is behind Abhishek Banerjee's house. That is why we were not allowed to enter. I have lived in a foreign country for 25 years, and I have not experienced something like this. I felt sick and panic-stricken when they captured me and put me in a police vehicle like I was a petty thief. I simply wanted to meet a friend,' Dr. Rajat said after his release. He alleged that he is being 'targeted' for asking the Chief Minister questions during her visit to the University of Oxford. Reacting to the developments, Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said that Dr. Rajat could have waited till the end of the Chief Minister's address at Kellogg College and asked his questions later, 'instead of disrupting her speech'. 'We believe in a democracy. Otherwise, I would have demanded that he be thrown out of Bengal. Interrupting a Chief Minister during her speech cannot be called dissent; it is uncivil behaviour. The doctor misbehaved; he should be socially boycotted… his friendship with Sukanta Majumder proves that these so-called protestors are raam-baam dalal (BJP-Left brokers),' Mr. Ghosh said.

Summons sent to lawyer for his role as co's ind dir: ED

Representative Image NEW DELHI: Faced with criticism, Enforcement Directorate Friday said it issued summons to senior advocate Pratap Venugopal as part of its ongoing investigation against Care Health Insurance Ltd (CHIL) in which Venugopal was an independent director. ED's Mumbai zonal office is conducting a money laundering investigation in which it has been alleged that shares of CHIL were issued at a much lower price in the form of ESOPs on May 1, 2022, in spite of the rejection of the same by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI). "As part of the investigation, summons was issued to Pratap Venugopal, an independent director of CHIL, to understand the circumstances under which the company has issued ESOPs despite its rejection by IRDAI and subsequent discussions in the board of CHIL in this regard," the agency said about the summons which it withdrew after protests by lawyers' bodies. In a statement, the agency emphasised that IRDAI on July 23, 2024, had directed CHIL to revoke or cancel any ESOPs that were yet to be allotted and had also imposed a penalty of Rs 1 crore on CHIL for non-compliance with regulatory directions. "In view of the fact that Pratap Venugopal is a senior advocate in Supreme Court, the summons issued to him has been withdrawn and the same has been communicated to him," the agency said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In the said communication, it was also stated that if any documents were required from him in his capacity as an independent director of CHIL, the same would be requested to be submitted by email, the agency added. Further, ED has asked its units not to issue summons to lawyers, saying summoning them would be violative of Section 132 of Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023. "If any summons needs to be issued under the exceptions carved out in proviso to Section 132 of Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, the same shall be issued only with the prior approval of the director, ED," the agency said.
