BJPs 10-year double-engine rule in Uttarakhand betrayed peoples aspirations, says Kharge

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 2 (IANS) AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday strongly criticised the BJPs 10-year tenure in Uttarakhand, alleging that the partys double-engine government had betrayed the hopes and aspirations of the states people. In a post on his X handle, Kharge said a collapsed law-and-order situation, serious concerns regarding the safety of women, the arrogance of those in power, and a persistent tendency to evade accountability had left the public deeply disappointed. He said that the people of Uttarakhand were now demanding accountability and seeking change. According to him, the Congress party is vigorously championing the rights and interests of the people from the streets to the legislative assembly. Kharge asserted that the party is firm on its stand to earn the trust of the public so that it can provide Devbhoomi Uttarakhand with a government that is secure, empathetic and accountableone that prioritises the public interest above all else. The Congress presidents remarks come in view of the growing political activity in the hill state, where the opposition has been highlighting issues related to governance, womens safety and administrative accountability. Kharges statement indicates the partys attempt to position itself as an alternative focused on public welfare and responsible governance in Uttarakhand. By pointing to the alleged failures of the ruling dispensation, the Congress is seeking to mobilise public opinion ahead of future electoral contests in the state. Kharges emphasis on security, empathy and accountability indicates the partys intent to build a narrative centred on good governance and the protection of citizens rights. The statement also shows the Congress broader strategy of raising questions about the performance of BJP-ruled states while projecting itself as a party committed to addressing the genuine concerns of the people. On Monday, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and the partys general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal held a meeting with Uttarakhand leaders to discuss the strategy and action plan for the forthcoming state assembly elections. Both leaders urged the state unit to work aggressively, maintain solidarity and take a firm stand.

Digital Desk | Patna, Nov 2 (IANS) A couple from Sheikhpura district of Bihar, namely Sanjay Kumar and Ranjana Kumari, have become the talk of town over their food venture under the Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) scheme, and its capacity to employ about a dozen people in a short span of time. The couple, after learning about the scheme, received monetary support under the scheme and launched a noodle-manufacturing business not long ago. The initiative not only made their family financially self-reliant but has also created job opportunities for others in the surrounding area. Today, their entrepreneurial venture employs a total of 10 people regularly. Ranjana Kumari, sharing the success story of 'Smriti Noodles,' shared with IANS the difficult times when it was difficult to cover household expenses and manage children's education. Facing a weak financial situation, she aspired to start a venture of her own. It was during this period that she learned about the PMFME scheme. She applied under the program and, with government assistance, took the first steps toward establishing her business. Earlier a homemaker and now a successful businesswoman.

Investigators probe Florida jet crash that killed 9 people as cockpit audio emerges

A private jet bound for the Bahamas crashed in Palm Beach County, Fla., Sunday afternoon, killing all nine people on board. The Learjet 60, which had taken off from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas, went down at about 12:50 p.m. ET near Cresthaven, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said. Dashcam footage posted to social media by an eyewitness showed the aircraft falling toward the ground beside a road and exploding into a fireball, narrowly missing cars and homes. Duffy called the crash a horrific tragedy in a post on X , adding: Please join me in praying for the families and loved ones of those we lost. Air traffic control audio posted on LiveATC captured the crew's comments leading up to the crash. Someone in the cockpit can be heard saying Mayday, mayday, reporting the plane was descending at 10,000 feet per minute, Reuters reported. We're going to crash into the ground, the person said. The impact left a massive crater near the entrance to a mobile home park, Palm Beach County Commissioner Joel Flores said at a news conference. About 600 residents were evacuated to two shelters, he said. The National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation, and the cause is not yet known. What we know The Learjet 60 took off from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, bound for North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. FAA records list the owner as a Delaware corporation. The National Weather Service had a flood watch in effect for the area of the crash, Palm Beach County, through Monday afternoon, with rain expected on and off across South Florida. In air traffic control audio posted on LiveATC, someone in the cockpit said they were managing the ice but faced moderate turbulence and were seeking better rides. AP reported the crew also asked to climb. Less than a minute later, the person said Mayday, mayday, reporting the plane was suddenly descending at 10,000 feet per minute. Seconds later, the person declared an emergency, with the descent rate reaching 20,000 feet per minute. Less than 20 seconds later, the person said: We're going to crash into the ground, before reporting the descent rate had reached 22,000 feet per minute as the plane began to bank. Flightradar24 data showed the vertical descent rate at one point exceeded 32,000 feet per minute. The last words heard from the cockpit were we're out of time. Driver Aki Kuusisto's dashcam footage captured the moment the jet hit the ground. I heard a whistling noise, a big bang, and I saw a fireball, he told CBS News . It felt like it was right next to us... you could feel it in the car. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said there were no immediate reports of anyone injured on the ground. Authorities haven't confirmed what caused the crash or identified the people on board. Steve Arroyo, an aviation safety expert, told the Associated Press that ice and turbulence could have caused the plane to stall. What have officials said? The FAA said the aircraft departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was heading to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas when the crash took place. The FAA said it was investigating and would provide further updates. DeSantis told reporters during a Sunday briefing that there were no reports of anyone on the ground being injured despite a lot of debris that was strewn over a pretty significant distance. It was a cataclysmic plane crash, DeSantis said. It looked like a missile going down and left a big crater on the side of the road. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called the crash a horrific tragedy and said the FAA and Department of Transportation would be investigating the incident. What did eyewitnesses say? Anthony Blackmon, who lives around 500 feet from the site of the crash, told NBC Miami that debris from the crash struck his home. Debris was everywhere, he said. Debris hit my house. Everything was on fire. The road was on fire. I've always seen it on the news, never thought it would happen so close to somebody like how it happened today. Adam Itayem told WPTV , It sounded like a loud boom. I thought it was thunder, adding, I saw a big crater in the ground and water coming out of the crater and a big fire too. I heard and felt the boom, Andrew Mannino told CNN , saying he saw a large black cloud immerse in the air, adding, The power immediately went out and is still out. Around 600 people were evacuated by Palm Beach County authorities while federal officials investigate the crash. We're waiting for someone to give us answers about what we're going to do, because they're not even letting us into the community to get our clothes, local resident Jesus Solorzano told WPTV.

The shootings at both Jacksonville parties were the result of fights that then led to gunfire, police said. I am saddened by the heinous acts of violence our community endured this weekend, Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said in a statement. My heart goes out to the victims of these senseless acts and the many others impacted.

West Palm Beach, Nov 02: A business jet carrying nine people nose-dived into a South Florida neighborhood Sunday and erupted into a giant fireball that appeared to just miss homes before crashing near a busy roadway, creating a giant fiery crater in the pavement. It was not immediately known if anyone on the Learjet 60 or on the ground in the Palm Beach County neighborhood was injured or killed. The aircraft had departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was headed to the Bahamas, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Authorities did not immediately say what caused the jet to go down or who was on it. Jim Reynolds, a spokesperson for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, said it was a private aircraft.

Video shot from people inside their cars captured the terrifying moment the aircraft plunged from the sky, before striking near the roadway and exploding. Flames flickered around chunks of pavement lining the crater as people milled about, expressing shock it landed only feet from homes and only inches from passing vehicles.
