Will drag out terror from holes & punish it if ultras raise fangs: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that enemies, be they across the border or within the country, will be dealt with severely and if terror tries to raise its fangs again, the perpetrators will be dragged out from their hideouts and punished. At a rally in Bihar on Friday, he underlined that he had kept his pledge made after the Pahalgam terror attack that the terrorists will be meted out treatment beyond their imagination. Addressing a rally in Karakat, Sasaram, he referred to Operation Sindoor as well as the fight against Maoism, saying engaging in activities inimical to India will face the consequences. "People of Sasaram know what Lord Ram and his family's tradition was - that life may have to be sacrificed but a word given will be kept. It means if a pledge is made it has to be fulfilled. This policy of Lord Ram has become the policy of New India," Modi said. He recalled the Pahalgam terror attack in which several innocent people were killed and his pledge a day after at a rally in Madhubani where he had given his word to the nation that the camps of terrorists will be decimated. "I had said that the punishment meted out to them will be beyond their imagination. I have come to Bihar again only after completing my pledge. They had wiped the sindoor of our women. Our forces have turned the camps of terrorists into ruins. Pakistan and the world saw the power of sindoor. Those who were protecting the terrorists were brought to their knees by our forces," the PM said. Modi emphasised that the terrorist camps and installations were destroyed in just a few minutes during Operation Sindoor. He heaped special praise on BSF and paid homage to BSF sub-inspector Mohammed Imteyaz, who hailed from Bihar, for his martyrdom in the May 10 operation. "Our enemies have seen our power during Operation Sindoor but it should understand that this operation is just one shot from our arsenal. India's fight against terror has neither stopped nor ceased. If terror raises its fangs again, Bharat will drag it out of its hole to trample it," Modi said. While Pakistan and the handlers of terrorists had to face the might of India, those working against the state within its boundaries will also not be spared, he stated. "Our fight is against all enemies of the state, be it across the border or inside the country. In the last few years, the way we have finished such forces has been seen by people of Bihar. Till some years ago, naxalism held sway in Sasaram, Kaimur and neighbouring areas. Nobody knew when naxals, with their faces covered and rifles in their hands, would emerge anywhere. Everybody had this fear. The benefits of government schemes would not reach the people," Modi said. Live Events

Shah sharpens pitch for civic polls in Maharashtra—Balasaheb would've hugged Modi for Op Sindoor
Amit Shah on Maharashtra tour Shah is on a two-day tour of Maharashtra. On the first day, he was in Nagpur in the morning and Nanded in the afternoon. He performed the 'bhoomipujan' for the newly built 'Swasti Niwas' at the National Cancer Institute and Forensic Science University in Nagpur, and former CM Vasantrao Naik's statue in Nanded, where he also addressed the rally. Addressing BJP workers and supporters, he said, 'This is New India and, under the leadership of Modi, we have given this message to the world—India can't be messed with.' 'Pakistan probably forgot that the Congress government was in place a decade ago, nearly 11 years ago, and now, it is the Modi government. We do not take anything lying down. They attacked us in Uri; we did air strikes. They attacked us in Pulwama; we showed them what we could do in Balakot. Now, post-Pahalgam, we did Operation Sindoor,' he said. Shah also lauded the armed forces for Operation Black Forest, which allegedly eliminated over 30 Naxals. 'I assure you today that by 31 March 2026, we will completely eliminate Naxalism from this country,' he said. Deshpande said Nanded had been a Congress bastion for a long time. Ahead of the local body polls, the Mahayuti remains on weaker grounds in Nanded, even though it did win assembly constituencies last year in Nanded. 'Nanded had been a Nizam state close to Hyderabad (the Nizam's capital). So, it has a sizeable Muslim population. But that could be one of the reasons why polarisation would work in Nanded, and the talks of Operation Sindoor or such operations will also work. Besides, the BJP is on weaker grounds in Nanded, but with Ashok Chavan on its side, it wants to add more seats from this belt,' Deshpande said. Speaking at the rally, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, like Amit Shah, questioned the Opposition, especially Rahul Gandhi. 'At a time when everyone is strongly behind our forces, Congress is speaking the language of Pakistan. Rahul Gandhi is questioning what happened to our aircraft—what Pakistan would ask. But it (Pakistan) knows it cannot ask because we have shown Pakistan its place. However, Congress is becoming like that country. Earlier, we had heard of PoK. Now, it is Congress-occupied Pakistan,' Fadnavis said. (Edited by Madhurita Goswami) Also Read: Chhagan Bhujbal is a Maharashtra minister, again. The 3 reasons behind his comeback

India broke free from ‘decades of shackles' since 2014: PM Modi
On the 10th anniversary of his first swearing-in as Prime Minister, Narendra Modi returned to his home state, Gujarat, for a two-day visit, evoking strong nationalist sentiment and invoking the legacy of tribal pride and asserting that India broke free from 'decades of shackles' since 2014. Addressing a massive gathering in Dahod after a vibrant roadshow in Vadodara, PM Modi launched a fierce attack on his political opponents and hailed the spirit of 'New India' under his leadership. After the success of the Sindoor Samman Yatra in Vadodara, where PM Modi greeted crowds and met the family of martyr Colonel Sophia, the Prime Minister arrived in Dahod to an overwhelming reception. Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw welcomed him on stage, while dignitaries and local citizens chanted slogans in support of PM Modi. In a symbolic gesture, the Chief Minister presented the Prime Minister with a statue of freedom fighter and tribal icon Lord Birsa Munda, reinforcing the region's tribal identity and heritage. PM Modi was also gifted a commemorative photo frame of Operation Sindoor, a covert military operation he later described as a testament to India's fearless military resolve. The highlight of the visit was the Prime Minister laying the foundation stone and dedicating development works worth Rs 24,000 crore to the nation. Among these is the much-anticipated Railway Production Unit in Dahod, which will produce locomotive engines under the 'Made in Dahod' initiative. The Rs 20,000 crore project aims to boost employment and turn the tribal region into a hub of industrial innovation. In a speech laced with emotions, PM Modi reminded the crowd of the historic day a decade ago when he was sworn in as Prime Minister. 'Exactly ten years ago, I took oath as the Prime Minister of the country. Today, in 2024, I appear before you again, blessed by the love and trust of 140 crore Indians,' he said, drawing loud applause. He claimed that India had broken free from 'decades of shackles' since 2014 and was now moving forward in every sector. 'We are now hoisting the Tricolour not just in the skies, but also pulling it out of the darkness of despair into the light of faith,' he declared. The Prime Minister also delivered strong words aimed at his political adversaries, invoking Operation Sindoor and the Pahalgam terror attack. 'Operation Sindoor is not just a military mission. It's a reflection of our emotions. Those who mastermind terror can't even imagine what it means to confront Modi,' he said to thunderous cheers. Referring to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, he said, 'When we saw those images, our blood boiled. The terrorists didn't just attack our soldiers — they challenged 140 crore Indians. And I did what the country had entrusted me to do as Pradhan Sevak.' PM Modi recalled that on the night of May 6, Indian armed forces located nine terrorist camps across the border and destroyed them within just 22 minutes, a military feat he described as 'unseen by the world in decades.'
