Chhattisgarh now Naxal-free: HM Amit Shah
Digital Desk | Raipur, Nov 3 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said Chhattisgarh has become Naxal-free and is poised to rank among the top three states in the tourism sector in the coming years. Addressing the closing ceremony of the Chhattisgarh Rajyotsav in Naya Raipur, HM Shah said the state possesses immense tourism potential with treasures such as the Gariaband region, Balameshwari temple, Dantewadas Danteshwari temple and the unique Bastar Dussehra. He recalled that it was once said the land is rich, but the people are poor, and assured that within 10 years both the land and its people would be prosperous. HM Shah said the goal under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to create a state where people are happy and affluent, and the land itself is prosperous and thriving. He noted that out of the 26 years since the states formation, the BJP has been in power for 20 years. During this period, he said, the annual budget has increased 30-fold, per capita income has risen significantly, and the Gross State Product has grown 25 times. The network of ITIs, colleges, polytechnics and universities has expanded threefold. The Home Minister said the BJPs tenure has guided the people of Chhattisgarh from an era of fear toward an era of trust, and from mere resources toward true prosperity. He expressed commitment to transforming possibilities into reality to build a capable and thriving Chhattisgarh. HM Shah praised the large turnout despite heavy rain and said Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai had assured him that people would come and participate as it was a programme for Chhattisgarh. He offered greetings to the people of the state on the occasion of Chhattisgarh Foundation Day and paid respects to Chhattisgarh Mahtari. Earlier, HM Shah inaugurated the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Park in Naya Raipur. At the Rajyotsav closing ceremony, which was presided over by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, distinguished individuals from various fields were honoured with State Awards.

Modi govt prepared for SIR debate, but Congress must let Parliament function: HM Amit Shah
Digital Desk | Raipur, Nov 3 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said the Narendra Modi government is fully prepared for a thorough discussion on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, but the Congress must first allow Parliament to function. Addressing the closing ceremony of the Chhattisgarh Rajyotsav, HM Shah challenged the Opposition, particularly Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, to engage in a real debate instead of stalling parliamentary proceedings and organising mock Parliament. He said the government is even willing to call a special session for this purpose. If you have the courage, come forward and engage in a proper debate. Simply carrying a copy of the Constitution does not equate to upholding it ones conduct must be constitutional, HM Shah said. He alleged that the Congress has brought Parliament to a standstill and asked the party to let it function so that the people of the country can see who is speaking the truth and who is peddling lies. HM Shah further said the Modi government is ready for a detailed discussion on the SIR exercise and related issues raised by the Opposition. He emphasised that democratic debate should take place inside Parliament rather than through parallel platforms or street protests. The Home Ministers remarks come amid ongoing Opposition protests over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls and allegations of large-scale voter deletions. Shah maintained that the government has nothing to hide and is open to scrutiny, provided Parliamentary proceedings are allowed to continue normally. He reiterated that the Constitution must be respected not merely by carrying its copy but through constitutional conduct. Shah said the people would judge for themselves once a proper debate takes place on the floor of the House. The Home Ministers statement is seen as a direct challenge to the Congress and other Opposition parties that have been demanding discussions on electoral issues while also being accused of disrupting Parliament.

Rahul says Gyanesh Kumar would be removed, warns PM Modi, Shah they are next after CEC,
New Delhi, Nov 1: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Sunday warned Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah that they would face consequences over alleged electoral irregularities, declaring that Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar would be removed from office and sent to jail. Addressing the INDIA blocs Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao rally at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi, Rahul Gandhi said, After Gyanesh, you are next, reports The Times of India (TOI). Gyanesh Kumar will be removed as CEC, he will go to jail, he said. This is not an ordinary theft. This is treason, Rahul Gandhi said, accusing the BJP of stealing votes in several state Assembly elections and the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. He alleged that electoral manipulation had taken place in Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Karnataka, besides the 2024 general elections. The Congress leader said the INDIA bloc would not allow democracy to be destroyed or the Constitution to be undermined. The rally was organised to protest against alleged electoral irregularities and demand the resignation of the CEC. Opposition parties have repeatedly accused the BJP of benefiting from alleged manipulation of electoral rolls and electronic voting machines (EVMs), charges the ruling party has rejected. Opposition leaders march to Ramlila Maidan The INDIA blocs Chalo Dilli march began from the Minto Road-Connaught Place junction, with Opposition leaders, including Farooq Abdullah, former Chief Minister of J&K, Mehbooba Mufti, former chief minister of J&K, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, who also spoke to the crowd, voicing save the constitution at the Ramlila Maidan. Press Trust of India reported Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday said the Ramlila Maidan has turned into the Haldighati of democracy with a massive turnout of people and asserted that this is indicative of change that is in the offing, as he asserted that those who came to power at the Centre through Uttar Pradesh will also exit from there. Taking a dig at the BJP, Yadav said those who speak of having a firm, immovable stance -- likening it to the unshakeable foot of Angad -- should consider where they would even place that foot, given that there is no ground left to stand on. Addressing the INDIA bloc rally at Delhis Ramlila Maidan against vote chori, Akhilesh referred to the recent MLC polls and said the people of Kashi (Varanasi) have reduced the double-engine government to a double zero. The rally followed the Oppositions mock impeachment proceedings against CEC Gyanesh Kumar, held on Saturday at the residence of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge. The latest confrontation comes amid the Oppositions continuing allegations of vote chori and its objections to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in several states. Rahul alleges BJP forced shops shut Rahul Gandhi also accused the BJP of forcibly shutting shops in Connaught Place, alleging that the move caused losses to local traders. According to the Press Trust of India (PTI), Rahul Gandhi made the allegation in a video recorded while he was travelling in an open vehicle towards the Minto Road-Connaught Place junction. He said the INDIA bloc had appealed to people attending the rally to shop at local markets during the festive season to support traders. But upon reaching Connaught Place, we learned that the BJP has forcibly shut down all the shops. The country is watching how the BJP is causing loss to the shopkeepers, Gandhi said. On Saturday night, he had urged people travelling to Delhi for the march and rally to purchase goods from local shops ahead of Diwali, Chhath and Bhai Dooj. Rahul Gandhi had accused the BJP of spreading rumours that the Oppositions programme would hurt businesses, saying the rally and shopping could take place together. Nearly 10,000 police and paramilitary personnel were deployed in central Delhi for the rally, while more than 200 CCTV cameras were installed in the area, Hindustan Times reported. Police said arrangements had been made to facilitate the march and manage crowds at the venue. While the INDIA bloc expected a large turnout from different states, police preparations were based on Ramlila Maidans capacity of around 50,000 people, with any overflow to be managed on surrounding streets. The Oppositions campaign against the CEC gathered momentum after a report by The Indian Express last month said Election Commissioners had objected to decisions taken by the CEC on 14 occasions over a 10-month period. The Election Commission maintained that its decisions had been unanimous.

India's identity rooted in shared cultural consciousness: LG Sinha
Srinagar, Nov 01: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday said India's identity is rooted not only in geography but also in a shared cultural consciousness that has bound together diverse traditions, languages, customs, knowledge systems and artistic expressions for centuries. Highlighting the ideals of ancient Indian scriptures and literary traditions from different regions, he said India's rich heritage continues to nurture a sense of belonging that transcends geographical boundaries. Our literary and spiritual heritage, from Keralam to Madhya Pradesh, from Andaman and Nicobar to Andhra Pradesh tells us that we are integral parts of the same stream of life, and geographical distances can never erase our emotional closeness and the spirit of oneness, he said. The Lieutenant Governor was addressing a commemorative programme at Lok Bhavan marking the Foundation Day of Andhra Pradesh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Haryana, Karnataka, Keralam, Lakshadweep, Madhya Pradesh, Puducherry, Punjab and Tamil Nadu. He extended his warm greetings and best wishes to the people of these States and Union Territories. He said the celebration of Foundation Days of different States and Union Territories reflects India's enduring civilisational ethos of unity in diversity, and expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for strengthening the spirit of coordination, harmony and emotional integration among various regions of the country and advancing the vision of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat. Highlighting the cultural contributions of the regions being celebrated, the Lieutenant Governor said each has enriched the national fabric while preserving its unique identity. He referred to Keralam's literary and artistic heritage, Andhra Pradesh's contributions to literature, spirituality and the freedom movement, Karnataka's saint-poet tradition, Punjab's profound spiritual legacy and Haryana's contribution to devotional literature. He also underlined the significance of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in showcasing India's cultural diversity, Chandigarh's place as a symbol of modern urban planning and Delhi's role as a vibrant confluence of cultures from across the country. Indian traditions demonstrate how diversity and unity coexist harmoniously. Our cultural practices, faith traditions and literary heritage reinforce the idea that people from different regions remain connected through shared values and collective national consciousness, he said. The Lieutenant Governor stated that the Foundation Day celebrations provide an opportunity to understand one another's heritage, strengthen mutual respect and foster deeper people-to-people connections. He called upon citizens, particularly the younger generation, to draw inspiration from the ideals of the nation's ancestors and contribute actively to nation-building.

The parade, held to mark the 151st birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, featured specialised forces from Bihar, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Telangana and West Bengal, along with units of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Chhattisgarh Police. The contingents marched past the gathering as officials outlined their deployment areas, operations and personnel who had died in the line of duty. Among the units was Bihar Polices Special Task Force. The announcer said the force operated in 22 districts, including Gaya, Jamui and Lakhisarai, and had killed 167 Naxalites, arrested 7,191 and secured the surrender of 371. PM Modi and officials also paid tribute to 191 personnel who had died. The Sashastra Seema Bal contingent, led by Assistant Commandant Vipin Sharma, was credited with killing 16 Naxalites, arresting 1,382 and recovering 536 kg of explosives. Other contingents included Jharkhands Jaguar, Karnatakas Anti-Naxal Force, Kerala Polices Special Operations Group, Madhya Pradeshs Hawk Force and Odishas Special Operations Group. Maharashtras C-60 commandos, whose strength was described as having grown from seven personnel to 1,100, were credited with killing 372 Naxalites, securing 861 surrenders and making 559 arrests. Telanganas Greyhounds, described as a specialised force of 1,250 commandos, were also part of the parade. The announcer highlighted their operations in the Karegutta hills. The parade also featured West Bengal Polices Counter Insurgency Force, the National Cadet Corps and a CRPF-led dog squad.

Chhattisgarh Hockey League: Bailadila Bulls book semis date with Mainpat Titans after 6-2 win
Digital Desk | Raipur, Oct 30 (IANS) Bailadila Bulls could not have asked for a better match for themselves, coming into the last league match. They needed a miracle to make it to the semis, and they did just that, as they thrashed Chakradhar Champions 6-2 to oust them from the Chhattisgarh Hockey League. That scoreline meant Sanskardhani Strikers also confirmed their entry into the knockouts of the tournament. So now, as the top qualifiers, Nyayadhani Knights take on Sanskardhani on Sunday at 5.30 PM, followed by Bailadila vs Mainpat at 7.30 PM. Prior to the start of the match, Chinglensana Singhs teams task was cut out perform or perish, and they chose the former. Anand started off by scoring in the first minute itself, making his teams intentions clear. He came up with a reverse flick in the opening attack that hit the net. Bulls showed great intent to score, especially after what had happened in the first match. The moment of the first quarter was when Daleshwar Yadav saved a penalty stroke against Yuvraj Walmiki, keeping Champions away from a goal. Bulls converted their stroke, though. Jaskaran Singh got his 7th goal of CHL 2026, to increase the lead to 2-0. A few minutes later, he got to his third, this time through a PC. All in all, the foundations of a big Bulls win were laid. Jaskaran did not stop in the crunch match. He converted his fourth, through a PC in the third quarter. Anand did not want to be far behind, and got yet another goal when he beat a few Champions defenders and sounded the board. Soon after, Gopal scored on a PC rebound, bringing their goal difference to +2, and sealing a semis spot. For Chakradhar, it was complete heartbreak even though SV Sunil did create chances for his team, but coordination among the forward line was lacking. There were a few solid passes by the skipper in the circle, but there was no one available for a deflection. Somehow, Khogeshwar Bag managed to net one in the second quarter. Walmiki scored on the reverse late in the last quarter, but not enough to take them to the last four. In fact, apart from those two strikes, circle penetrations were few and scattered for the Champions. Shamshers team, Sankardhani Strikers, performed beyond expectations against the mighty Mainpat Titans, and beat them 4-0 in their last league battle. Yes, their qualification was heavily dependent on the Bulls vs Chakradhar match, but in hindsight, they had done enough. With Ashish Tani Purti scoring a hat-trick, taking his goal tally to 12, Strikers maintained a goal difference of +2, only solidifying their chances. Coming to how the four quarters unfolded, Sanskardhani started cautiously, but they were up against the Titans, who easily possess the best defensive line in the tournament, having conceded only 7 goals (Before match 14). So, what unfolded in the first quarter (scoreline of 0-0) was only expected. But Ashish opened the scoring for Strikers, with a bullet drag flick in the opening minutes of the second quarter that even Pradeep Mor could not stop. After that, a few chances went begging, with the score remaining at 1-0 in favour of the Strikers. Ashish once again scored in a similar fashion, in the third quarter this time, his 11th goal of the season, perhaps making him the most successful young player of CHL 2026. But he wasnt done yet. He increased the lead, again by a PC conversion, and this time the Titans' battery had no chance. In the dying moments, the Strikers also got a field goal, with Shahrukh coming with the pass, and Om Kumar Yadav netting the goal. Surprisingly, Mainpats forward line did not have their best game, as chances hardly came for them in the latter half. In fact, maintaining possession looked difficult. Having said that, this is not the end of the road for them. Mors team is in the semis already, and definitely is in contention to make the final.
