There is such a beautiful and grand temple in India, which attracts people to it. To see these temples, a large number of people come not only from the country but also from abroad. There are many such temples, which are considered miraculous and mysterious. Today we are going to tell you about some such temples, which are full of mysteries, but no one has been able to solve those mysteries to date. The lighting of lamp in Jwalaji temple There is a temple dedicated to Maa Durga in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, which is known as Jwala Ji Mandir or Jwalamukhi Mandir. A lamp is burning in the center of this temple, which is said to have been burning since ancient times and continues to burn forever. This lamp emits a blue flame. It's just a mystery. Virupaksha Temple, Hampi The Virupaksha Temple at Hampi in Karnataka is a mystery in itself. It is said that there are some pillars in this temple from which music emanates. It is known as the pillar of music. It is said about these pillars that once the British opened them and found out how music comes out of the pillars, they were also surprised to see inside because there was nothing inside. The pillar was hollow. Sivagangai Temple Sivagangai Temple is built on a small hill at a distance of about 55 km from Karnataka. It is said that the entire hill here looks like a Shivling. It is said about this temple that after offering ghee on the Shiva Linga present here, it mysteriously turns into butter. It is still a mystery today. Lepakshi Temple, Andhra Pradesh The Lepakshi Temple in Andhra Pradesh is an architectural wonder. There is a hanging pillar in the temple complex, which does not rest on the ground. Apart from this, there is also a stone with footprints on it. This footprint is said to be of Mother Sita. Surprisingly, this footprint is always wet. No matter how dry it is, it fills itself with water. Where this water comes from remains a mystery even today. Hasanamba Temple Hasanamba Temple located in Hassan, Karnataka is full of mysteries. The temple is open only for one week in the year (on Diwali) and then after the puja, the doors of the temple are closed, only to reopen the following year. It is said that a lamp is lit before closing the doors of the temple, but the surprising thing is that when the door is opened after a year, the lamp keeps on burning, and only a limited amount of oil remains in it.

PM Modi will take out a rally in Ajmer today
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Ajmer district today. Where the work of worship in Brahma temple and lake in Pushkar is about to be completed. Prime Minister Modi is also going to be welcomed from Pushkar to Ajmer. For which BJP leaders and workers are engaged in preparing by laying eyelids. In a big public meeting to be held at Kayad Sthal in Ajmer, Prime Minister Modi will tell the people about the achievements of his central government in the last nine years and is also going to show the road map of development. At the same time, he will leave no stone unturned to surround the Congress government in Rajasthan. Modi is also going to make a political attack on his friend CM Ashok Gehlot's ongoing fight for the chair in former Deputy Chief Minister Chin Pilot. Modi can also take a dig at the loss suffered by Rajasthan due to this four-and-a-half-year-old battle. Reports say that a report on all the political issues of Rajasthan has already been prepared and conveyed to Prime Minister Modi by the Rajasthan BJP organization. Based on this, the strategists have prepared his speech. Prime Minister Modi's focus will be on the fact that the central government is making every effort for the development of the state. But due to the Congress government in Rajasthan, it has also started getting hampered. Therefore, in the upcoming assembly elections, the people should form a BJP government by connecting the link between the state and the center. The BJP is going to contest elections in Rajasthan on the basis of the achievements and schemes of PM Narendra Modi's central government. So far, the BJP has been preparing to contest elections in Rajasthan only on the face of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but some reports say that after the defeat of Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka, there is talk of some change in this strategy. It is being said that Prime Minister Modi can now point towards a local leadership or face from Rajasthan. The BJP is trying to raise the local leadership and take it in front of the public. Because in the Assembly elections of Rajasthan, local issues can dominate more than national. There is a big difference between issues and agendas in Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. The BJP has seen this in the last election. Because despite the Modi wave across the country and the state, the Congress government was formed in Rajasthan. While in the Lok Sabha elections, the public voted for the BJP in large numbers in the name of PM Modi and won with a bumper majority.

From Jantar Mantar to Haridwar, a timeline of wrestlers' protest
The wrestlers shared a post on Twitter regarding the chain of events that have unfolded in recent days and the way authorities handled the situation. NEW DELHI: The protesting ace grapplers on Tuesday decided to push back their plan of immersing their medals in the Ganga as a mark of protest against WFI chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh after farmer leader Naresh Tikait intervened and secured a five-day ultimatum from them. The wrestlers are pressing for the removal and arrest of the WFI chief over allegations of sexual harassment. The farmer leader took the medals from the wrestlers and sought five days to meet their demand. Olympians Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik and Vinesh Phogat reached Haridwar on Tuesday to immerse their all medals, including those won in the quadrennial event, in the Ganges. The wrestlers shared a post on Twitter regarding the chain of events that have unfolded in recent days and the way authorities handled the situation. The protesting wrestlers said in the post they will visit Haridwar and throw their medals in the Ganga at 6 pm on Tuesday. They also vowed to sit on a hunger strike at India Gate after consigning their medals to the waters. In their post, the wrestlers said, You saw everything that happened on May 28, how police treated us and the way they arrested us. We were protesting peacefully, our place has been taken away and the next day serious cases and FIR were filed against us. Have the wrestlers committed any crime by demanding justice for the sexual harassment that happened to them? The police and the system are treating us like criminals, while the oppressor is taking jibe moving freely. He is even openly talking about changing the POSCO Act. Yesterday, many of our women wrestlers were hiding in the fields. The system should arrest the oppressor but it is engaged in breaking and intimidating the victim women to end their protest, the grapplers said adding that these medals are left with no meaning. It is not less than death for us thinking of returning medals but how can we live compromising our self-respect? We don't need these medals anymore. If we speak against exploitation, they prepare to put us in jail, the wrestlers said. We are going to shed these medals in the Ganga. Our medals which we earned after hard work are as sacred as River Ganga. These medals are sacred for the entire country and the right place to keep the sacred medal can be the holy Ganga and not our unholy system which masquerades us and stands with our oppressor after taking advantage of us. The medal is our life, our soul. We will sit on hunger strike at India gate till death, the wrestlers added. The following is a timeline of the wrestlers' protest that began in January and has since become a major headache for the central government; January 18: Star Indian wrestlers, including Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik, sit on a protest near the iconic Jantar Mantar in the national capital against the WFI and its chief. The wrestlers accuse the WFI president and unnamed coaches of sexually abusing women athletes and also issuing death threats. However, Brij Bhushan denies all the allegations. Meanwhile, responding to the allegations levelled by the wrestlers, the Sports Ministry seeks an explanation from the WFI and directed it to furnish its reply within 72 hours. January 19: The wrestlers meet officials of the Sports Ministry and are given assurances. However, they are not satisfied with these assurances. Sakshi Malik says, They only assured us of action but we did not get any satisfactory response from their side. We are not happy. We want to shut down WFI and all of its state associations. We want a fresh start. READ HERE | Dragged and detained, wrestlers in no mood to relent The wrestlers also ask to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. However, Sports Minister Anurag Singh Thakur convinces them to have a dialogue with him first. The Sports minister holds talks with the grapplers in a late-night meeting spanning four hours.

January 20: The Sports minister waits at his residence for an entire day to meet the wrestlers. However, they refuse to come for further talks. They finally appear at a press conference with the Sports minister, saying that they are happy with the outcome of the meeting and will cooperate with the oversight committee during its probe and also present evidence to support their allegations against the WFI chief. The wrestlers demand that Brij Bhushan Saran be removed immediately as WFI president. The Sports minister assures them that Singh would step aside from the day-to-day functioning of the WFI pending investigation. January 21: The wrestlers call off their protests after receiving assurances from the Sports Ministry that their grievances would be addressed and an Oversight Committee would be formed to probe the wrestlers' allegations against the WFI chief. January 23: The Oversight Committee is formed with Olympian Mary Kom as the chairperson and Yogeshwar Dutt, Trupti Murgunde, Commander Rajesh Rajagopalan and Radhica Sreeman (Both veteran sports administrators) as members.

January 24: The wrestlers say they were assured they would be consulted before the five-member panel was formed. January 27: Despite being part of the Target Olympic Podium Scheme of the Government and given a monthly Out of Pocket allowance of Rs 50,000 (which they are still drawing), Bajrang and Vinesh withdraw from the Zagreb Open [which started on February 1], the first Ranking Series of the year, saying they are not ready for the competition. February 9: The oversight committee hears the women wrestlers' complaints. The wrestlers later request a second hearing which was conducted on February 20 by the Oversight Committee. February 20: Even as the probe by the Oversight Committee was underway, Bajrang, Vinesh, Ravi and Sakshi choose to skip the year's second Ranking Series event -- the Ibrahim-Moustafa tournament -- from February 23 to 26.

The wrestlers accuse Brij Bhushan of sexually harassing seven women wrestlers, including a minor, saying they submitted a complaint at New Delhi's Connaught Place police station two days ago but the police were yet to file an FIR. This time, however, they were not joined by any other wrestlers in the protest. Addressing a press conference, Sakshi said, We lodged a complaint at CP police station. It has been two days, but no FIR has been registered as yet. Seven women, including a minor, have complained of sexual harassment. It makes for a POSCO case, but nothing has been done yet. A person can be arrested in a POSCO case only if the complaint is lodged within 24 hours. However, in this case, it was lodged after a few years. April 24: The Sports Ministry, in a letter to Indian Olympic Association (IOA) chief PT Usha, says the WFI affairs will be handled by an ad-hoc committee appointed by the IOA. The letter states that elections that were scheduled for May 7 were declared void and that the Oversight Committee, which had submitted its report, will now cease to exist.

It directs that the case be listed on April 28 after notice is sent to relevant authorities.

He adds that the victims, whose names had been redacted from the judicial records, included a minor.

May 30: Wrestlers arrive in Haridwar to immerse their medals in the Ganga. However, they later issue a five-day ultimatum to the Centre to act against the WFI chief following the intervention of farmer leader Naresh Tikait. Initially, in January, the wrestlers said they wanted a neutral investigation following which an oversight Committee was formed to probe the charges against the WFI chief. Brij Bhushan Saran was also called for a hearing. Later in April, the wrestlers demanded that an FIR be lodged against Brij Bhushan saying that they won't leave Jantar Mantar till a complaint is filed. They also added that they don't trust the Delhi Police and only have faith in the Supreme Court. Thereafter, two FIRs were filed by Delhi Police against the WFI chief. After the registration of the FIRs, the wrestlers came up with a fresh demand saying that they want Brij Bhushan arrested (without an investigation) and removed from every post that he holds (including that of an MP). They added that they want him to be punished for all cases pending against him, and only then they will leave. Vinesh Phogat said, We thought since we are Olympic medalists, we will be heard if we say something against Brij Bhushan, and not him. Again, the wrestlers had initially said in January that theirs was an apolitical protest and they were not seeking the intervention of any political leader or party. However, in April, they said they made a mistake and wanted all parties to support them in their protest against the WFI chief. Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, CPM leader Brinda Karat, former Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Congress leaders Navjot Singh Sindhu, Kumari Sailja, and AAP's Saurabh Bhardwaj visited the grapplers and voiced support to their movement.

All 14 districts in Kerala had claimed that 100 per cent of students in the Bal Vatika (below class 1) primary section have been receiving mid-day meals. NEW DELHI: The Centre has decided to form a joint team of officials from the Ministry of Education and the Kerala government to examine the improbable claims made by the state about almost 100 per cent of enrolled students in primary availing mid-day meals on a daily basis in 2022-23. The issue was flagged during a meeting of the Programme Approval Board (PAB) of the PM POSHAN scheme, formerly known as the mid-day meal scheme. Earlier this year also, the Centre had constituted a 'joint review mission' (JRM) on the implementation of the centrally sponsored scheme PM POSHAN in West Bengal following similar complaints of alleged irregularities. All 14 districts in Kerala had claimed that 100 per cent of students in the Bal Vatika (below class 1) primary section have been receiving mid-day meals. PAB observed that in the districts as mentioned in the above tables, almost 100 per cent of the enrolled children in the primary have been shown as availed school meal on all working days. This seems highly improbable.PAB decided that a team comprising representatives from central and state government may visit a few districts to ascertain the ground-level picture to verify the authenticity of the reported coverage by cross-verifying data from various levels-- schools, blocks, and districts, according to the minutes of the meeting. The PAB has also advised the state to put a robust and foolproof mechanism to ensure that data is entered through correct and real-time reporting of the actual number of students who availed of the school meal on each working day. PAB also advised the state to ensure that data on the coverage of students from districts may be captured in the format of Quarterly Progress Report (QPR) for greater transparency, accuracy and accountability, as the state has informed that capturing of data at the district level in district QPRs is not in practice in the state, the minutes said. The minutes show that the Kerala government claimed that of the 16.91 lakh children enrolled in the state's primary schools (government and government-aided), 16.69 lakh (99 per cent) availed midday meals on all working days, while the corresponding numbers are 11.45 lakh and 10.85 lakh (95 per cent) in the case of upper primary grades. Earlier, a panel appointed by the Ministry of Education found that serving of around 16 crore midday meals worth over Rs 100 crore was over-reported by the local administration in West Bengal from April to September last year. The panel had noted serious discrepancies in the information submitted regarding the number of meals served at various levels. The West Bengal government, however, had dismissed the report as one-sided, claiming that the views of the state had not been noted and the data needed to be verified. Under the Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman (PM POSHAN) Scheme, there is a provision of a hot cooked meal to children of pre-schools or Bal Vatika in primary schools in addition to the over 12 crore children of classes 1 to 8 studying in 11.20 lakh schools. Under the scheme, most components, including cooking costs, are split in a 60:40 ratio between the Union government and the states and UTs with legislatures, and 90:10 with the north-eastern states, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The cost of food grains is borne entirely by the Centre.
GO 111 scrapped to quench thirstfor wealth of KCR, his men: Revanth Reddy
He went on to say that there was nothing wrong in stoning them to death at the Telangana martyrs memorial. HYDERABAD:Scrapping of the GO 111 which prohibited any construction activity in the catchment area of Osmansagar and Himayatsagar reservoirs constructed with the main objective of arresting floods post Great Musi Flood of 1908 and providing drinking water to Hyderabad would cause more devastation than the nuclear bombings of Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki did to humanity, said TPCC chief A Revanth Reddy. He alleged that the decision was taken without following norms to quench the thirst for money of CM K Chandrasekhar Rao, Minister KT Rama Rao, Chief Advisor to CM Somesh Kumar, and MAUD Special Chief Secretary Aravind Kumar. He went on to say that there was nothing wrong in stoning them to death at the Telangana martyrs memorial. Addressing a press conference along with senior leaders including V Hanumantha Rao, Mohd Ali Shabbir, and Kondanda Reddy, Revanth said that even the British, Nizam or Andhra rulers had not done such destruction as the Chief Minister did. The due procedures like public hearing, expert appraisal, and the precedent set forth by the Supreme Court of India were not followed, he alleged and attributed the decision to hunger for wealth, corruption, and abuse of power of the ruling family. According to him, not even 20 per cent of the lands in the 84 villages falling under the purview of the GO 111 were in the hands of common people. TPCC chief A Revanth Reddy addresses the media in Hyderabad on Monday There used to be a criminal named Idi Amin in Africa who used to indulge in cannibalism. KCR is more dangerous than him. KCR has four more months, and he is trying to loot as much as possible in this period, he said. Accusing the chief minister, his family, and henchmen of taking undue advantage out of scrapping the GO, Revanth said that the Congress had constituted a committee chaired by former HUDA chairman Kodanda Reddy to study the facts and ground reality and would submit a report law enforcing bodies. Slamming the BRS government for assigning a land parcel near Gandipet, Revanth said that the State government had withdrawn the petition pertaining to the assignment of land to the Congress at Bhimrao Wada Basti. STATE CONG LEADERS TO ATTEND POLLPREPARATORY MEET Hyderabad: TPCC chief A Revanth Reddy and CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka will be among the top Congress leaders from the State who will be attending an election preparatory meeting of the grand old party. The two-day meeting, to be chaired by AICC president Mallikharjun Kharge, is scheduled to be held in New Delhi from May 24. After the Karnataka Assembly elections, the Congress high command shifted it focus to the next poll-bound states -- Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan -- and invited the leaders from these States for the election preparatory meeting. As Congress is in power in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, the additional focus would be on Telangana and Madhya Pradesh. Meanwhile, the party is also planning to hold a public meeting, as part of CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarkas padayatra, by inviting Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on May 25.

Siddaramaiah sworn in as Karnataka CM, new regime assures to honour poll promises
The new government at its maiden Cabinet meeting, soon after the swearing-in ceremony, accorded in-principle approval to the Congress' five 'guarantees' promised before the elections. BENGALURU:Congress leader Siddaramaiah was sworn in as Karnataka Chief Minister in a grand ceremony here on Saturday and the new dispensation held its first Cabinet meet that gave an in-principle approval to implement its poll promises, estimated to cost the exchequer about Rs 50,000 crore annually. State Congress President D K Shivakumar was sworn in as Deputy Chief Minister, along with eight legislators as Ministers at the event held exactly a week after the party swept the Assembly polls in Karnataka. A galaxy of opposition leaders, including Chief Ministers of some non-BJP ruled States, took part in the mega event signifying solidarity with the Congress party to take on the BJP next year in the Lok Sabha elections. Heralding the return of the Congress government after a gap of five years, leaders shook hands warmly and embraced each other at the ceremony. The new government at its maiden Cabinet meeting, soon after the swearing-in ceremony, accorded in-principle approval to the Congress' five 'guarantees' promised before the elections. Siddaramaiah, addressing a press conference later, cited estimates and said implementing poll assurances would cost the exchequer about Rs 50,000 crore a year. He asserted that the pre-poll assurances would be implemented notwithstanding the financial implications, if any. Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot administered the oath of office and secrecy to the Chief Minister and his Cabinet at Sree Kanteerava Stadium here, where Siddaramaiah had taken oath in 2013 when he became CM for the first time. The legislators who were sworn in as ministers are: G Parameshwara, K H Muniyappa, K J George, M B Patil, Satish Jarkiholi, Priyank Kharge (AICC President M Mallikarjun Kharge's son), Ramalinga Reddy, and B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan. Among eight MLAs inducted into the Cabinet, three are SCs, and one each from Christian, Lingayat, ST, Reddy and Muslim communities. Siddaramaiah is a Kuruba and Shivakumar belongs to the Vokkaliga community. According to Congress sources, the party high command approved the list of eight ministers, against the earlier plan of inducting a much higher number of legislators into the cabinet, as there were allegedly differences between Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar over some names, during the discussions held till late last night in New Delhi over cabinet formation. This apparently caused some displeasure among ministerial aspirants as they could not make it to the first list, sources said, pointing out that there is no representation for women in the first list. With the sanctioned strength of the Karnataka Cabinet being 34, there are many aspirants for ministerial berths. The Congress on Thursday named Siddaramaiah as the next Chief Minister and Shivakumar, a strong contender for the top post, as his only deputy, ending the deadlock. Subsequently, a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) later on Thursday formally elected Siddaramaiah as its leader, following which he staked his claim with the Governor, who invited him to form the government. The 75-year-old became the CM for the second time after his earlier five-year stint from 2013. While 61-year-old Shivakumar, who had earlier worked as a minister under Siddaramaiah, would also continue as the party's Karnataka state president till Parliamentary elections are over next year. The daunting task that Siddaramaiah is expected to face in the coming days is allocation of portfolios to the new Ministers, and expanding the cabinet with the right combinations that will strike a balance in having representatives from all communities, regions, factions, and also from among the old and new generation of legislators. Siddaramaiah, who chaired the cabinet meeting, said the 'guarantees' would most likely be implemented after the next cabinet meeting. Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, former party president Rahul Gandhi, general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attended the swearing-in ceremony, while former AICC president Sonia Gandhi was absent. Chief Ministers of Congress-ruled states Ashok Gehlot (Rajasthan), Bhupesh Baghel (Chhattisgarh) and Sukhvinder Singh Sukku (Himachal Pradesh) and several top party leaders were also in attendance. The event marked by bonhomie saw the participation of Chief Ministers M K Stalin (Tamil Nadu), Hemant Soren (Jharkhand), Nitish Kumar (Bihar) and Tejashwi Yadav (Deputy CM-Bihar). Also, NCP president Sharad Pawar, National Conference supremo Farooq Abdullah, PDP chief Mahbooba Mufti, actor-politician Kamal Haasan, CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury and CPI General Secretary D Raja were among others in attendance. The Congress promised to implement the guarantees' 200 units of free power to all households (Gruha Jyoti), Rs 2,000 monthly assistance to the woman head of every family (Gruha Lakshmi), 10 kg of rice free to every member of a BPL household (Anna Bhagya), Rs 3,000 every month for unemployed graduate youth and Rs 1,500 for unemployed diploma holders (both in the age group of 18-25) for two years (YuvaNidhi), and free travel for women in public transport buses (Shakti), on the very first day of assuming power in the state. Siddaramaiah said the Assembly would be convened for three days from May 22, during which the newly elected MLAs shall be administered oath. The Speaker's election is also on the cards. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, fomer Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda and former Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai congratulated Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar on their appointment as CM and Deputy CM of Karnataka. In the May 10 elections to the 224-member Assembly, the Congress scored an emphatic victory by bagging 135 seats, while the ruling BJP and former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda-led Janata Dal (Secular) secured 66 and 19 seats respectively.

Overcoming voter apathy a big challenge
Political parties and candidates will be intimated about the home voters for transparency while ensuring secrecy when they cast their votes. Indias Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar last week flagged the problem of voter apathy, specifically pointing at urban voters and youth. With Karnataka headed for Assembly polls in May, the ECI organised an election hackathon in Bengaluru called Election 2023 along with various stakeholders, including the government, industry, academia and civil society. It aimed at creating a platform for exchanging ideas and collaboration among stakeholders to improve the electoral process and find solutions to voter apathy. Disillusionment with elections, lack of political interest, ignorance about candidates/political parties and their ideologies, a degree of hopelessness, and indifference are blamed for this apathy. The countrys voting percentage in the 1952 general elections was 45.7%. It was 67.40% in 2019. In this period, the population grew from 37.29 crore to 138.31 crore. The massive population boom should have seen a much higher voting percentage considering the literacy rate, too, rose from 18.33% in 1952 to 77% now. But thanks to the persisting apathy, that hasnt happened. Indias IT Capital, Bengaluru, is an example. The city saw the voting percentage fall in all four zones between 2013 and 2018. Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP)(South) fell from 55.04% in the 2013 polls to 51.98% in 2018; BBMP (North) from 56.58% to 53.47%, BBMP (Central) from 57.71% to 55.18%, and Bengaluru Urban from 62.03% to 57%. But the voting percentage in 2018 was 72.13%the highest in Karnataka since 1952. Gujarat, too, witnessed a lower urban voter turnout in December 2022 compared to 2017, while urban Himachal Pradesh recorded ten percentage points lower than the states average voting percentage of 75.6%. The ECI, for the first time in India, has announced the vote from home initiative for 12.15 lakh people aged 80 and above, and for 5.5 lakh physically challenged persons across the state. EC officials will visit the residences of those opting to vote from home to oversee the registration and voting process, which will be videographed. Political parties and candidates will be intimated about the home voters for transparency while ensuring secrecy when they cast their votes. Ideally, the same should be offered to a larger section of voters. That could encourage more people to vote. But to achieve this, more political awareness and a change in perception will be needed.
