CM Fadnavis welcomes Jarange Patil ending hunger strike, says 12 out of his 13 demands accepted
Digital Desk | Sambhajinagar, Sep 17 (IANS) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday expressed relief and satisfaction after Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange Patil ended his hunger strike on its 20th day. Addressing media, he welcomed the development, noting that the government had proactively engaged with the activist to resolve the standoff peacefully. We are glad that Manoj Jarange Patil has called off his hunger strike. We had urged him to do so. Out of his 13 demands, 12 have been accepted by the government. One demand could not be fulfilled due to legal constraints, which was duly communicated to him, he stated. The Chief Minister assured that the commitments made by the cabinet sub-committee would be strictly fulfilled. The state government will hold necessary meetings and take required administrative steps to implement these promises. Reaffirming the states commitment to Maratha community, Fadnavis emphasized that our doors remain open and claimed that no previous administration has taken as many concrete decisions for the welfare of the Maratha community as the current government. Extending appreciation to key leaders including Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil and legislator Prasad Lad for their mediation, CM Fadnavis highlighted that the agitation concluded peacefully without disturbing upcoming festive celebrations. Earlier, Jarange Patil on Thursday at Patoda in Beed district announced the suspension of his 20-day hunger strike following his discussion with a government delegation comprising Ministers Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil and Dadaji Bhuse, MLAs Prasad Lad and Suresh Dhas, and the Beed District Collector. Following the talks, Jarange Patil granted the government a 90-day deadline, demanding the implementation of the Satara Gazette within three months. He warned that if the government betrays them, he will march to Mumbai. Announcing the suspension of his hunger strike, he clarified that the agitation would continue, asserting that the battle would not stop until it succeeded. Giving a three-month ultimatum for the Satara Gazette implementation, he stated that antagonising the Maratha community is unacceptable. He remarked that despite any mistakes by Minister Vikhe Patil, people should treat him with affection, and expressed similar sentiments toward DCM Eknath Shinde. He added that he would not stay silent if ministers criticised them and noted that officials who previously avoided talks had finally come to negotiate, emphasising that the community's dignity is more important than reservations. The government delegation gave him assurances including implementation of the Satara, Kolhapur, Pune, and Aundh Gazettes within three months by issuing a Government Resolution (GR), issuance of a revised GR to grant Kunbi certificates in accordance with the Hyderabad Gazette, continued validation of certificates issued per the Hyderabad Gazette, no reduction in the 58 lakh Kunbi records found by the Shinde Committee and validation of the revoked Kunbi certificates of four elected representatives from Marathwada.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 16 (IANS) Actress Sonalee Kulkarni opened up about her familys eight-year tradition of making their own Ganpati idol. Speaking to media, she shared how they gave the celebration a special touch this year by depicting Lord Ganesha as a farmer seated on a bullock cart. Talking about the family tradition, Sonalee said they bring clay home and lovingly shape the idol with their own hands every year. As the tradition completed eight years, the family decided to experiment with a new concept for their Ganpati idol. This is a bullock cart and Lord Ganesha is seated on it as a farmer. In our family, it has been a tradition for the last eight years that we make the idol of Lord Ganesha ourselves. We try to make it with clay with our own hands. This time, we thought that since it has been eight years, we should do something new and make it look different, she said. The actress revealed that the bullock cart used as inspiration dates back to 2008 and was from Punes Sinhagad Road. The family then imagined how Lord Ganesha would look seated on the traditional cart and chose to portray him as a farmer. Sonalee said the farmer-themed idol also carried a heartfelt message for those working in agriculture, especially amid challenging weather conditions. With this, we will be able to pray to Lord Ganesha that this time there is a flood in many places and it is not raining in many places. So, all our farmer brothers are having to go through such extreme climate. We are praying to Lord Ganesha that there is a change in their situation and they do not have any more problems. And this is what we tried to make through our idol, she explained. Work-wise, Sonalee Kulkarni is recognized for her work in Marathi cinema. She is widely known for her performances in films such as Natarang, Mitwaa, and Jhimma.

Ajay Banga makes nuclear energy World Bank priority: US Treasury Secretary
Digital Desk | Washington, Sep 16 (IANS) World Bank President Ajay Banga has made nuclear energy financing a priority as the institution returns to the sector after decades, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has told lawmakers. The policy shift comes as the World Bank prepares to phase out lending to China by 2031 and direct more of its resources towards poorer countries requiring development assistance. Mr. Banga, who heads the World Bank, we have made it clear to him that this is a priority, Bessent told the House Financial Services Committee. And indeed, he has adopted this as a priority. This is the first time in decades that the World Bank has moved forward on nuclear energy, he said. Bessent said nuclear power could help poorer countries improve living standards, expand economic opportunities and secure sustainable sources of electricity. I think it is an important part for the poorest countries in engaging in their -- in increasing their welfare levels and increasing their prosperity and developing truly sustainable energy, he said. The World Bank began returning to nuclear energy financing in June 2025 after years of avoiding the sector. Committee Chairman French Hill said the institution had taken its first concrete step by reaching an agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency. The arrangement allows the bank to receive technical expertise from the UN nuclear watchdog, support existing reactors and examine the potential of small modular reactors. This year, we also saw the first contribution to a new Nuclear Energy Assistance Trust Fund at the bank, which I hope will see additional funds from the US Treasury going forward, Hill said. Developing economies need access to reliable and affordable electricity to grow, making this exactly the kind of practical, pro-growth approach these institutions should fully embrace, he added. The committee had supported legislation encouraging the World Bank to reconsider its restrictions on nuclear financing. Republican Representative John Rose said the change could provide developing countries with reliable, affordable and secure energy. The institutions renewed interest in nuclear power is taking place alongside a broader reassessment of where its development funds should be directed. Hill welcomed the World Banks decision to end financing for China by 2031. He said the worlds second-largest economy possessed substantial financial resources and had become a major international creditor. American taxpayers should not be backstopping Beijing and their ambitions at the World Bank, Hill said. That's why the World Bank's decision to phase out its lending to China by 2031 is an important step in the right direction. Hill said the World Bank should focus on reducing poverty and supporting economic growth in countries that genuinely needed development assistance. The committee also raised concerns about Chinas role at the International Monetary Fund. Bessent said the IMF was holding advanced discussions with Beijing on economic imbalances and the possible risks they posed to global financial stability. Banga, who was born in Pune, became World Bank president in June 2023. The Indian-American executive previously led Mastercard and has focused his World Bank tenure on employment, infrastructure, private investment and expanding reliable energy access in developing economies.
