Kamal Nath Unveils Statue of Shivaji in Pandhurna, Madhya Pradesh:

Kamal Nath, the Madhya Pradesh Congress chief, unveiled a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the district headquarters of Pandhurna, Madhya Pradesh, on Friday. Aditya Thakre, a leader of Shiv Sena (UBT) and former Maharashtra minister, attended the event. Pandhurna, a newly formed district, was carved out of Chhindwara district, which is considered Mr. Nath’s political stronghold. The district shares a border with Maharashtra and has a significant Maharashtrian population.

Mr. Nath had previously represented the Chhindwara parliamentary constituency nine times before winning the polls from the Sauser seat under the Lok Sabha constituency in the last assembly elections. Currently, Chhindwara LS constituency and all the assembly seats under it are held by Congress.

During the event, Mr. Nath mentioned his long-standing association with the Thakre family and their old bond. He recounted how he was asked by the late Sanjay Gandhi to meet the founder of Shiv Sena, the late Balasaheb Thakre, to seek his support for the government at the Centre during the imposition of the emergency. According to Mr. Nath, Balasaheb Thakre had supported the Congress on the issue at that time.

Mr. Thakre expressed his desire to see Mr. Nath return as the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh. He criticized the Centre for failing to control inflation and referred to the Maharashtra Chief Minister as an “illegal Chief Minister.”

In a post on social media, Mr. Thakre announced the unveiling of the equestrian statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji in Pandhurna, Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, by former Chief Minister Kamal Nath. He mentioned that there was an atmosphere of change in Madhya Pradesh.

Notably, the unveiling of the Shivaji statue in Pandhurna by Mr. Nath has sparked a political controversy, with Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan describing it as “double standards” by the Congress leader. Mr. Chouhan stated that Mr. Nath had previously opposed the installation of a Shivaji statue in Sauser, which he currently represents. He accused Mr. Nath of showing a fake face and hiding his true intentions.

Women’s Group Calls for Reintroduction of Bill with 50% Reservation:

The All India Coordination Committee of Progressive Organisation of Women (POW), Pragatisheel Mahila Sangathan (PMS), and Istri Jagriti Manch (IJM) have called upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reintroduce the Women’s Reservation Bill with an increased reservation for females, raising it from 33 percent to 50 percent.

The committee criticized the current version of the Nari Shakti Vandan Bill proposed by the BJP-led government, likening it to a mere political tool. They accused the BJP of using it for election propaganda and noted that government-owned media outlets are already promoting it as a gift to females from the Modi government.

The All India Coordination Committee urged for the immediate implementation of the bill, emphasizing its inclusion in the 2024 elections. They suggested disconnecting it from census and delimitation, as these factors are unrelated to the implementation of women’s reservations. The committee also proposed accommodating sub-quotas for OBCs, SCs, and STs within the bill.

Furthermore, the committee advocated for the bill’s applicability to seats in both the Rajya Sabha and legislative councils.

Rambabu’s Recommendation to Balakrishna: Take Charge of TDP Leadership

Rambabu’s Recommendation to Balakrishna: Take Charge of TDP Leadership:

Water Resources Minister Ambati Rambabu has called upon MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna to capitalize on the current situation within the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and assume leadership of the party.

Rambabu encouraged leader to uphold the legacy of the Nandamuri family and emphasized that the legislative assembly is not the party’s headquarters. He suggested that Balaya and other legislators should address public concerns within the assembly.

Regarding discussions on the arrest of former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and allegations of corruption, Rambabu expressed readiness to engage in dialogue anytime and anywhere. He claimed that the TDP members had evaded discussions and preferred chaos over a meaningful debate.

Rambabu objected to Balakrishna’s symbolic twirling of his mustache and suggested that this was the moment for Balaya to take a more assertive stance. He asserted that Balaya now has a unique opportunity to contribute to the survival of his father NTR’s party, countering rumors that he had not supported NTR during a challenging period.

Highlighting the absence of key TDP leaders, Rambabu pointed out that Balakrishna’s brother-in-law, Chandrababu Naidu, is in jail, and his son-in-law, Nara Lokesh, is in Delhi. He emphasized that this opportunity may not come again for leader to assume control of the party. Rambabu also raised concerns about perceived injustices within Balakrishna’s family, including his own electoral victories without ministerial appointments, while his brother Harikrishna was initially given a ministerial role but later sidelined.

PM Modi Celebrates Women’s Reservation Bill, Credits Strong Government

Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated the recent passage of the 33 percent reservation for women legislation during a special parliamentary session. He hailed this achievement as a “declaration of India’s renewed commitment to democracy.” The success of this long-awaited bill, according to Modi, is attributed to the presence of a “decisive and stable government with a strong majority at the Centre.”

Modi received recognition from the BJP’s ‘Mahila Morcha’ at the party headquarters for this legislative victory. He also used the occasion to criticize regional parties like Bihar’s RJD and Uttar Pradesh’s SP, noting that those who had previously opposed bills advocating reserved seats for women were now supporting the proposed law. He credited this shift to the increasing influence of women during his government’s tenure. The Prime Minister emphasized that his government had taken multiple steps to empower and promote women before passing this bill.

He remarked, “We made decisions to enhance women’s status at all levels and did not allow political interests to obstruct women’s reservation. In the past, such bills were often a mere formality, lacking committed efforts. Attempts to undermine women were also prevalent.”

Modi also addressed critics who questioned the use of the term ‘Nari Shakti Vandan’ (Salutation to Women Power) by the government for the bill, asking whether the women of the country shouldn’t be honored and their dignity enhanced.

Seer Joins Cauvery Protests in Mandya, Karnataka:

Supporting the protest held by members of the Ratha Hitarakshana Samiti in Mandya district on Friday against the release of water to Tamil Nadu, as directed by the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA), Swamiji Nirmalanandanatha, the seer of Adichunchanagiri Mutt, a prominent religious institution, emphasized the necessity of engaging in discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Jalshakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekawat to address the River Cauvery dispute.

Swamiji conveyed to reporters in Mandya that the Central Government should intervene on behalf of the State Government, and the State Government should stand up for the farmers. Ultimately, he stressed that the government, elected by the people, should take measures to protect its citizens.

Regarding the release of water to Tamil Nadu, the seer stated that the current situation in Karnataka did not allow for water discharge. He urged the State Government to exercise caution when releasing water to Tamil Nadu to avoid legal complications, pointing out past legal entanglements over Cauvery River water distribution.

Additionally, he suggested bringing to the Court’s attention that the water levels in Karnataka’s Cauvery basin were low, while Tamil Nadu’s reservoirs had more water storage.

Priyanka Praises Chandigarh’s Development Model for Transforming Farmers’ Lives:

Priyanka Gandhi, the AICC General Secretary, commended the “Chhattisgarh model of development” during the ‘Mahila Samridhi Sammelan’ in Bhilai, highlighting its positive impact on farmers and rural residents. She stated that this development model, now gaining national recognition, has brought happiness to Chhattisgarh’s farmers, making farming a lucrative profession due to the ‘Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana,’ which provides the highest paddy prices in the country.

This farmer-centric approach has led to a growing number of people engaging in agriculture in the state. Priyanka Gandhi also mentioned the successful millet mission, recognized and appreciated both nationally and internationally. She emphasized the resolution of the common issue of stray cattle through ‘Gauthans’ (cattle shed projects) in Chhattisgarh, hailing it as a solution that other regions could adopt.
