PM likely to visit state by month-end: Jaiswal
1 2 3 4 5 Patna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to address a public meeting in Rohtas district in the last week of May, BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal said on Sunday. The visit would come a month after his April 24 meeting on National Panchayati Raj Day in Madhubani, where, during his address, PM Modi had vowed to avenge the Pahalgam terrorist said he held a review meeting with the party's office-bearers at the proposed venue at Bikramganj in Rohtas on Saturday, even as Ara in Bhojpur district is also being considered as the second choice. The Rohtas district administration will assess arrangements regarding parking and traffic issues before the PMO finalises the meeting place, Jaiswal told this reporter. "The date of the PM's visit will be finalised in the next four-five days, but more than two lakh people not only from Rohtas but also from the adjoining districts of Aurangabad, Buxar, Bhojpur and Kaimur are expected to attend the PM's rally," Jaiswal selection of Shahabad region for the PM's meeting is seen as the BJP move to strengthen its base in the area before the coming assembly election due in Oct-Nov. The NDA had performed badly and lost all four Lok Sabha seats in this region, comprising Bhojpur, Buxar, Rohtas and Kaimur districts, besides parts of Aurangabad district, in the 2024 general elections. The NDA performance was equally bad in this region in the 2020 assembly elections. This year, PM Modi has addressed public meetings in Bhagalpur in Feb and Darbhanga in March before his April 24 meeting in Madhubani. The BJP and JD(U) are leaving no stone unturned to meet the target of "225 in 2025 and Phir se Nitish" in the coming elections. The NDA is also cautious as in the 2020 elections, RJD emerged as the single largest party and its Grand Alliance fell just 12 seats short of the halfway mark in the 243-member Bihar assembly.

Ensure all beneficiaries get their due share, collector urges Panchayat Raj officials
Kurnool: District Collector F. Ranjith Basha called on Panchayati Raj officials to ensure every beneficiary receives their rightful share, stressing the importance of inclusive development during National Panchayati Raj Day celebrations at the Zilla Parishad office on Thursday. He underscored the significance of the Panchayati Raj system in rural development and decentralised governance. 'Before the 73rd Constitutional Amendment, there was no standardised or permanent administrative mechanism for local governance. Women's participation was as good as non-existent,' he said. Basha credited reforms based on the Balwantrai Mehta and Singvi Committees for shaping the 73rd Amendment, which empowered Panchayati Raj institutions through legal status, finance commission inclusion, regular elections, and reservations for SCs, STs, and women. He highlighted last year's successes, including achieving 100% targets under the Employment Guarantee Scheme and constructing 119 km of CC roads in three months with Rs. 50 crore. He also praised Peravali village's national recognition in the Governance Awards. Three mandals—Maddikera, Holagunda, and Chippagiri—were included in the Aspirational Blocks Programme, with Chippagiri ranking sixth regionally. Officials were urged to raise awareness about government schemes. Panchayati Raj SE Ramachandra Reddy, MPDO Gudur Sisu Nag Prasad, and other staff were felicitated for their contributions.
