In her address, she said, "Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar's rule stands as a beacon of unity, good governance, and social justice. Her commitment to the welfare and progress of all sections of society is an example India must continue to follow." She emphasised that the 'One Nation, One Election' (ONOE) initiative reflects Ahilyabai's administrative ideals. "Simultaneous elections would enhance national efficiency, reduce frequent disruptions in governance, and potentially save up to Rs 4.5 lakh crore, about 1.5% of India's GDP," she noted. Aparna also drew parallels between the legendary queen's leadership and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's governance model. "Ahilyabai Holkar believed in empowerment and equal opportunity. Prime Minister Modi's vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' is rooted in similar principles of inclusive growth," she said. The event was attended by UP minister of state Rajni Tiwari, Hardoi district president Ajit Singh, and block pramukh Shyam Babu Trivedi.

Widows lacked valour, so 26 died: BJP MP's shocking comment on Pahalgam victims
File photo: Ramchandra Jangra, BJP Rajya Sabha MP from Haryana BHIWANI: A fresh controversy has erupted following a controversial remark made by Ramchandra Jangra, a BJP Rajya Sabha MP from Haryana, regarding the wives of those killed in the Pahalgam terror attack . Speaking at an event, he said that the women who lost their husbands in the attack lacked the courage and spirit of warrior women, and that is why 26 people were killed. According to him, the tourists died with folded hands. He further claimed that if they had received training under the Prime Minister's schemes and confronted the terrorists, the number of deaths would have been lower. The MP made these comments on Saturday while addressing a district symposium organised in Bhiwani's Panchayat Bhawan as part of the Ahilyabai Holkar Tricentennial Memorial Campaign. Jangra said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched a significant initiative (referring to Agniveer) to instil a sense of bravery among the youth. 'After the Pahalgam attack, the entire country feels that if the kind of training PM Modi wants to provide to the youth had been available to the tourists, then three terrorists could not have killed 26 people,' he said. 'If the tourists had even sticks or rods in their hands and had charged at the terrorists from all sides, I claim that perhaps only five or six would have died but all three terrorists would have been killed as well,' he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed!

After the symposium, MP Ramchandra Jangra avoided answering questions about the identification and arrest of the attackers. He said that even if the attackers have not been caught, the army has destroyed their bases and handlers. Reiterating his statements while addressing the gathering, he added that if the women present at the scene had fought back like Rani of Jhansi or Ahilyabai Holkar, the number of casualties would have been less. Jangra is not the first leader in the list who made derogatory and shameless remarks on women as, a BJP minister, Vijay Shah from Madhya Pradesh, also came to light after making comments on Colonel Sophia. However, he later tendered an apology after courts took action on the matter.
