Anarchist mindset: Nitin Nabin hits out at Rahul Gandhi over protest against CEC
Digital Desk | Varanasi, Oct 8 (IANS) BJP national president Nitin Nabin on Thursday slammed Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, over protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, saying that if the Opposition has any courage, it should resign from the seats it won through elections conducted by the Election Commission of India. The remarks came after Rahul Gandhi led another protest towards Jantar Mantar on Wednesday. Rahul Gandhi, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other Opposition MPs were detained by the Delhi Police after a bus carrying them was stopped near Janpath as INDIA bloc MPs sought to protest against CEC Gyanesh Kumar. Speaking to reporters, Nitin Nabin said, I would say these are people with an anarchist mindset, who know only how to spread poison in society. After all, this very Election Commission conducted the elections in Kerala. It also conducted the elections in Tamil Nadu, where they came to power. If he has the courage, Rahul Gandhi should first resign. The public is fully watching the game he is playing. This Leader of Opposition is engaged in shielding infiltrators, he said. They are trying to take away the rights of the people. We are trying to give them their rights back. I believe that people who belong here have the right to the countrys resources, he added. Nabin also praised the Uttar Pradesh government for the arrangements at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. I belong to Bihar, and coming here to Varanasi is part of our traditions. I would say that the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor has been constructed in a great way. The devotees also like it. It is a great experience. For this, I would like to congratulate PM Modi and CM Yogi, he said. The BJP national president offered prayers at the Baba Vishwanath Temple. He will interact with youths at Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth and later hold a review meeting with party office-bearers on preparations for the upcoming elections at Gokul Dham.

We will do it: CM Patel urges Gujarat youth to carry forward PM Modis development vision
Digital Desk | Vadnagar, Oct 7 (IANS) Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Wednesday called upon the youth to take forward Prime Minister Narendra Modis message of We will do it and contribute to the goal of a developed India by 2047, as a Varanasi to Vadnagar Seva Yatra marking PM Modis 25 years in public service concluded in Vadnagar. Patel was addressing the concluding ceremony of the yatra, organised under the nationwide Seva Sankalp Abhiyan. Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi and state BJP president Jagdish Vishwakarma were among those present. Welcoming bikers and Seva Yatris who had travelled from different parts of the country, Patel said PM Modi began his public service journey as Gujarat Chief Minister on October 7, 2001, and had completed 25 years of public service and good governance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has always viewed power as a means to serve the people, rather than as a position, Patel said. He said PM Modis approach had focused on the welfare of the poor, middle class, farmers, women and youth while encouraging citizens to participate in the countrys development. Referring to Gujarats development trajectory, Patel said: Challenges, including the earthquake, had been converted into opportunities, while initiatives such as the Vibrant Gujarat Summit had helped position the state as a 'Global Gateway to the Future'. He cited the Statue of Unity, Bullet Train, GIFT City and the semiconductor hub as examples of projects reflecting PM Modis vision for Gujarat. Patel also referred to claims that 25 crore people had come out of poverty and that India had emerged among the worlds top-five economies. India has demonstrated its capabilities globally through vaccine assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic, meeting COP-21 green-energy targets, the abrogation of Article 370 and efforts towards self-reliance in space and defence, he added. The Chief Minister congratulated PM Modi on completing 25 years in public service and said youth had a role in taking the development agenda forward. Gujarats youth power will lead the way with the resolute commitment of We Will Do It to realise the vision of Viksit Bharat-2047, Patel said. The yatra saw 500 bikers and other young participants travel through hundreds of villages and cities across 10 states, undertaking activities including cleanliness drives, tree plantation, de-addiction campaigns and public interactions.
Digital Desk | Varanasi, Oct 7 (IANS) Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Nitin Nabin on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi, accusing him and other opposition leaders of attempting to spread anarchy in Delhi. The BJP Chief's remarks were in reference to the INDIA bloc's protest, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over alleged irregularities in the conduct of Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Addressing a gathering in Varanasi, Nabin said: Given the way the opposition leaders in this country are functioning todayaligning with certain anti-social elements amid an atmosphere of anarchyI want to state clearly, the people of India will never allow your objectives and intentions to succeed, because you have only cared about those who have been usurping the rights of the people here. Targeting Rahul Gandhi, the BJP Chief said: The way you are attempting to spread anarchy in Delhi by leveraging certain anti-social elements, I want to tell the Leader of the Opposition (Rahul Gandhi) that the people of India will never allow those infiltrators, whose rights you advocate for, to secure any rights here. Nabin questioned the LoP, saying: Who are you concerned about? Whose battle are you fighting? If the names of the infiltrators are removed through the SIR, and for that you question the country's democracy, then, in reality, the biggest question mark is raised against 'you', the BJP Chief said while directly addressing the Opposition. He asserted, saying: I can say with confidence that the people of India will deliver a fitting reply to this anarchic mindset and thinking. Nabin made the remarks while addressing a felicitation ceremony for participants of the Seva Sankalp Yatra at Sampurnanand Sanskrit Vishwavidyalaya in Varanasi. Meanwhile, several INDIA bloc leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were detained by the police earlier on Wednesday, while attempting to head to the national capital's Jantar Mantar to continue their agitation against the CEC for the second consecutive day. On Tuesday, the INDIA bloc MPs tried to push open the gates of the Akashvani Bhawan, after being stopped by security personnel while marching towards the Election Commission of India (ECI). Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and other opposition leaders were briefly detained by police while being removed after more than nine hours of agitation at the premises of the All India Radio (AIR).
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 7 (IANS) The Seva Sankalp Yatra, from Vadnagar to Varanasi and Varanasi to Vadnagar, which began on September 17 to celebrate Prime Minister Narendra Modis birthday and also the completion of his 25 years as head of government, culminated on Wednesday, with grand closing ceremonies held at both places - Varanasi and Vadnagar. The culmination ceremony in Varanasi was addressed by BJP National President Nitin Nabin, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and BJYM national president Hemang Joshi. The Seva Yatris who travelled from Vadnagar to Varanasi, carrying sacred water from the rivers of Gujarat, offered Jalabhishek at the Kashi Vishwanath Dham and sought blessings of Lord Vishwanath. The 21-day Yatra, organised with the spirit of Seva, traversed 20 routes across the country, carrying the message of service, social responsibility and nation-building. On October 7, all 20 Yatra routes successfully reached their respective destinations, marking the completion of the nationwide campaign. The closing ceremony at Vadnagar, PM Modis birthplace, was attended and addressed by Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Gujarat Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi and BJP National office-bearer V.D. Sharma. The Seva Yatris, who embarked on a journey from Varanasi to Vadnagar, carrying sacred water from the rivers of Uttar Pradesh, offered it at Hatkeshwar Mahadev Mandir in Vadnagar, completing the spiritual connection between the two sacred destinations. BJYM national president Hemang Joshi said, The Seva Sankalp Yatra has given powerful expression to the spirit of Seva that Prime Minister Narendra Modi demonstrated throughout his 25 years of public life. For every BJYM Karyakarta, Seva must remain the core sentiment of life, serving society, respecting our cultural heritage and contributing to the building of a Viksit Bharat. During the month-long programme, the yatris also participated in extensive social service activities including tree plantation, cleanliness drives, water conservation, Gau Seva, service at old-age homes, beneficiary interactions and organ donation pledges. These initiatives ensured that the Yatra was not merely a journey across geographical distances, but a movement that touched communities and translated the spirit of Seva into meaningful action. The Seva Sankalp Yatra concluded with a message that continues beyond the Yatra itself: Seva is not a one-time campaign, but a lifelong commitment.

A six-day free mega health camp in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, has delivered free healthcare to over 35,200 patients, carried out 35,828 laboratory tests and completed 346 surgeries. Held under Seva Sankalp Abhiyan 2026 from 26 September to 1 October, the camp was aimed at improving access to specialist healthcare in eastern Uttar Pradesh. The organisers have described it as the largest health camp held in Uttar Pradesh in 2026. For thousands of people in rural Ghazipur, seeing a specialist has usually meant travelling to Varanasi, Lucknow or further. For six days, the camp turned this around by taking healthcare to patients instead of making patients travel to healthcare. Consultations, diagnostics, specialist treatment and surgeries were brought together at one place, including complex procedures that would normally require patients to leave the district. This speaks to a challenge of national importance: making sure that quality specialist care does not remain limited to big cities. A...

BJYM's 'Seva Sankalp Yatra' enters Madhya Pradesh after 18 days of seva
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM)'s 'Seva Sankalp Yatra' entered Madhya Pradesh on Sunday, after traversing through various states and also marking completion of 18 days of 'seva' (public service). The Seva Sankalp Yatra, steered by the BJYM -- the youth wing of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -- is being organised across the country through awareness drives and bike rallies, to celebrate Prime Minister Narendra Modi's twenty-five years of 'seva'. Inspired by PM Modi's 'seva' for more than two decades, the Yatra seeks to transform the idea of Seva into a people-led movement, taking the message of service, responsibility and nation-building to communities across the country. According to BJYM, the Yatra progressed across 20 routes in six states today -- one in Madhya Pradesh, seven in Rajasthan, one in Chhattisgarh, six in Uttar Pradesh, two in Jharkhand and three in Gujarat, hoping to build greater public participation. Speaking about the Yatra's mission, the BJYM National President Hemang Joshi said, The energy of our Seva Yatris is growing with every passing day. Eighteen days into this journey, their enthusiasm remains as strong as it was on Day One, because they are not merely travelling a route, they are carrying forward the vision of Seva that has defined PM Narendra Modi Ji's public life. The smiles, participation and affection we are receiving from people at every halt are giving our young Seva Yatris even greater inspiration to serve and contribute towards a Viksit Bharat. The Seva Sankalp Yatra reflects the journey of PM Modi from Vadnagar to national stage, with Vadnagar representing the values, struggles and early influences that shaped his life and Varanasi representing a major chapter of his public service. At every halt, Seva Yatris are turning their commitment into meaningful action through cleanliness drives, tree plantation, water conservation, Gau Seva, service to senior citizens, Jan Samwad and community-oriented activities, the BYJM said in a statement. As the Seva Sankalp Yatra moves forward, the growing enthusiasm of Seva Yatris and the increasing participation of people along the routes are giving renewed strength to its central message the journey of Seva continues, the Sankalp grows stronger, and the vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' moves forward with every step, it said.
