Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 24 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday interacted with participants of the Seva Sankalp Yatra travelling from Vadnagar to Varanasi and emphasised that service should remain the primary duty of those in public life. The Seva Yatris are travelling from Vadnagar to Varanasi in 10 groups on a bike yatra, engaging communities through initiatives focused on service, public outreach, youth participation, social welfare, cultural connect and grassroots mobilisation. Yatra is currently underway and will end on October 7, with the teams travelling from Vadnagar to Varanasi and from Varanasi to Vadnagar. During the interaction, participants shared their experiences of connecting with people during the yatra and encouraging them to join the NaMo App. They also spoke about receiving blessings from beneficiaries of government schemes, including the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Interacting with the Seva Yatris through video conferencing, PM Modi said that the message of service should be conveyed through actions rather than words. I would say the same to all my colleagues: please take care of yourselves as well. Service should be our primary duty, and while serving, we should convey the message of service. We should not preach about service; we should convey its message through our actions, he said. Through our own conduct, people should see that no matter how powerful we become in politics, or how high a position we attain, our path will always remain the path of service, PM Modi added. PM Modi also shared an old saying about the spiritual merit associated with undertaking a journey and paying respects to those who complete it. There is an old saying that when someone returns from a journey, and you offer them your salutations, half the spiritual merit earned from that journey is transferred to the person who pays their respects. So today, by bowing to all these Seva Yatris, I, too, am stealing half of that merit, he said. PM Modi said Vadnagar and Varanasi were two ancient and historic cities, describing Vadnagar as his birthplace and Varanasi as his karmabhoomi, or the land where he had dedicated his life to service. Kashi holds the blessings of Baba Vishwanath, while Vadnagar is a land blessed by Hatkeshwar Mahadev. You are all spearheading a massive campaign of service connecting these two cities, he said. Recalling his days as a BJP worker, PM Modi said he had participated in and organised several yatras and was aware of the difficulties faced by participants, including challenges posed by weather and changing locations. He said the spirit of service had inspired several initiatives, including the Ayushman Bharat scheme, and stressed that politics and elections were separate from the broader objective of nation-building. Politics is at one place, elections are at one place, but we are here for Rashtra Nirman, he said. PM Modi said the country was working towards the resolution of Viksit Bharat and emphasised the role of young people in achieving the goal by 2047. By 2047, we will have to strengthen the youths role. Today, the younger generation is the maker of Viksit Bharat. They will also be its beneficiaries, he said. PM Modi further said that it feels like wherever you are going, you are building bridges of dialogue and public participation It feels like wherever you are going, you are building bridges of dialogue and public participation. Discussions in several Jan Sabhas, interactions with beneficiaries, tree plantation programmes, programmes related to cleanliness, participation in cultural events, interactions with social media influencers, and efforts to expand the social media network-all these activities carried out in the spirit of service are remembered by people, and people give their blessings. For me, people have always been the greatest source of energy in my life. And today, as you are travelling, you may never have imagined that you would receive blessings from such diverse groups of people, he said. PM Modi further said that when there is a spirit of service, the Jyotigram Yojana is born There is a resolve to uphold the principle of 'Nagrik Devo Bhava', citizens are like God. And in Gujarat, people have truly experienced this. When there is a spirit of service, the Jyotigram Yojana is born. When there is a spirit of service in ones heart, initiatives like the Sujalam Sufalam Yojana bring about a water revolution, he added. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma were also present during the interaction. Meanwhile, one of the participants, Hemang, welcomed the Seva Yatris and said the journey was aimed at carrying forward the message of service and inspiring the younger generation. Under the Seva Sankalp Yatra, I warmly welcome all the travellers. From 2001 to 2026, through your public life, you have given the countrys youth a lesson that no matter what the position is, the commitment to serve is the greatest, he said. Hemang said the BJP had organised the yatra, with participants travelling through 159 villages. He added that those travelling from Vadnagar to Varanasi would perform Jalabhishek in Varanasi, while participants travelling from Kashi would perform Jalabhishek in Vadnagar. At every stop, we are doing 25 different works, he said.

Ex-MLA questions killing of top Jharkhand Maoist Brijesh Ganjhu, seeks CBI probe
Digital Desk | Ranchi, Sep 21 (IANS) The brother of slain Tritiya Sammelan Prastuti Committee (TSPC) chief Brijesh Ganjhu has questioned the killing of his brother in an encounter in Uttar Pradeshs Varanasi. He alleged that the operation was fake and demanded a probe by the CBI into the incident. Ganesh Ganjhu, former MLA from Simaria and brother of Brijesh Ganjhu alias Gopal Singh Bhokta, on Monday claimed that the Maoist leader was picked up from Jharkhand's Chatra district and later taken to Uttar Pradesh, where he was killed as part of a conspiracy. He urged Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren to order an impartial CBI probe into the circumstances surrounding his brother's death. According to the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF), Brajesh Ganjhu was killed in an encounter in Varanasi on Sunday morning. He carried a reward of Rs 25 lakh by the Jharkhand government and an additional Rs 5 lakh by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The body of the slain extremist reached his native village, Luttu Sohawan, under Lawalong police station limits in Chatra district on Monday. Speaking to reporters, Ganesh Ganjhu questioned the police version of the encounter. He raised doubts over the claim that Brajesh, who was allegedly riding a motorcycle when intercepted by police in Varanasi's Ramnagar area, opened fire on the security team. If he was riding the motorcycle, how could he fire from two pistols simultaneously? he asked, demanding an independent inquiry into the incident. Police, however, have maintained that Brajesh fired at the team during the operation and was injured in retaliatory action. He later succumbed to his injuries and was declared dead by doctors at a hospital. The former legislator also levelled serious allegations against the Jharkhand Police, claiming that his brother was first used in operations against Maoists and was later eliminated. He warned of a phased agitation if the government failed to act on the demand for an investigation. Ganesh Ganjhu further described his brother as an active participant in social welfare activities. He said Brajesh had been an elected panchayat representative since 2010 and had worked extensively for the poor, helping several underprivileged families, including supporting the marriages of girls from economically weaker sections. He also claimed that Brajesh had established the Gopal Singh Bhokta Inter College in Lawalong. The former MLA said that tackling Naxalism requires addressing its underlying causes and socio-economic factors rather than relying solely on security operations.
