PARBHANI: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Monday claimed Somnath Suryavanshi was killed because he was a Dalit and was protecting the Constitution. Police killed Suryavanshi, and it was a 'cent per cent custodial death, the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha alleged after meeting Suryavanshi's family members in Parbhani. Talking to reporters, Gandhi said he met Suryavanshi's family members who showed him the post-mortem report, as well as some photographs and videos. Parbhani witnessed violence after a glass-enclosed replica of the Constitution near Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's statue outside the railway station in the city, located in Marathwada region, was vandalised on the evening of December 10. Suryavanshi (35), a resident of Shankar Nagar in Parbhani, was among more than 50 persons arrested in connection with the violence. He died on December 15 at a state-run hospital where he was rushed after complaining of chest pain and uneasiness while he was in judicial custody and lodged at the Parbhani district central prison, as per police. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered a judicial probe into the Parbhani violence. What do we know about the 'custodial death' of 35-year-old law student in Maharashtra's Parbhani Fadnavis said in the state assembly recently that Suryavanshi had told a magistrate that he was not tortured and the CCTV footage also doesn't show any evidence of brutality. After meeting Suryavanshi's family, Gandhi claimed, The youth was killed because he was a Dalit and was protecting the Constitution. This is a cent per cent custodial death. The police have murdered him. The chief minister lied in the assembly to give a message to the police. The RSS ideology is to wipe out the Constitution, the Congress leader charged. Gandhi demanded that the matter be resolved and those who killed the man be punished. This is not politics, there has been a murder and action has to be taken, he said. Asked who was responsible for the Parbhani incident, Gandhi said, Ideology is responsible for this and since the chief minister has spoken, he too is responsible. Later, Rahul also met the family of Vijay Wakode, who had died during a protest in Parbhani following the violence. Earlier, Rahul arrived at Nanded airport from Delhi and travelled to Parbhani by road. He was accompanied by AICC in-charge for Maharashtra Ramesh Chennithala, state Congress chief Nana Patole and other leaders. Fadnavis orders probe into Beed, Parbhani clashes

CMs Revanth, Naidu to attend WEF in Davos next month
New Delhi: At least three chief ministers -- Devendra Fadnavis, Chandrababu Naidu and Revant Reddy -- will join over 100 CEOs and other leaders from India in Davos next month for the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2025. Naidu will also be joined by his son and senior Andhra Pradesh minister Nara Lokesh, while Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, Tamil Nadu Minister T R B Rajaa and Uttar Pradesh minister Suresh Khanna will also be there for the five-day annual congregation in the Swiss ski resort town starting on January 20, 2025. Some senior Union ministers are also expected to attend the meeting, but their names are still being finalised. Those who attended the last WEF annual meeting from the central government included Ashwini Vaishnaw, Smriti Irani and Hardeep Singh Puri. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also attended the meeting in the past, but there is no official word so far about his participation in the high-profile summit, for which the main theme this time would be 'collaboration for the intelligent age'. Expected to be attended by nearly 50 heads of states and governments from across the world, the annual meeting would take place in the backdrop of a change of regime in the US and various geopolitical and macroeconomic issues including the Ukraine war and the continuing West Asia crisis. Both Modi and Donald Trump had attended the WEF Annual Meeting in 2018 for the first time as India's Prime Minister and the US President, respectively. While Modi became Prime Minister of India for the third consecutive term earlier this year, Trump is set to assume office for the second time on January 20 and his return is expected to be among key topics of discussion at Davos. Maharashtra CM Fadnavis and Andhra Pradesh CM Naidu have been at Davos multiple times, while Telangana CM Reddy attended the WEF Annual Meeing in January 2024 as well. Besides government leaders and civil society members, the Indian presence would comprise of top executives of business conglomerates like Reliance, Tata, Adani, Birla, Bharti, Mahindra, Godrej, Jindal, Bajaj and Vedanta groups. Besides Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, the next-generation leaders from their groups are also expected to be present, while technology leaders including Salil Parekh of Infosys, Rishad Premji of Wipro, as also Sumant Sinha of ReNew, Vijay Shekhar Sharma of Paytm and Adar Poonawalla of Serum Institute are expected in the Swiss Alpine resort town. Geneva-based WEF, which describes itself as an international organisation for public-private cooperation, will convene leaders from government, business and civil society as well as scientific and cultural thinkers for its 55th annual meeting under the theme of 'Collaboration for the Intelligent Age'. According to the WEF, the meeting will serve as a trusted global platform for dialogue and cooperation, bring together a diverse community of stakeholders, seek to connect the dots in an era of complexity and be firmly future-oriented -- both in terms of insights and solutions. Several sessions are expected to be attended by Indian leaders, including one on 'India's Economic Blueprint'. As one of the world's fastest-growing major economies, India has been growing at over 8 per cent and this growth has been buoyed by a focus on promoting local innovation and startups in technology and manufacturing, representing a departure from traditional export-oriented models. The leaders would deliberate how has India capitalised on this new blueprint and to what extent can it continue to drive global growth. According to the WEF, the annual meeting will take place at a time when geo-economic fragmentation, geopolitical polarisation and divisions over values continue to impact countries and communities across the world. At the same time, exponential innovation and deployment around whole sets of inter-connected technologies -- from AI and quantum to energy tech, biotech and health tech -- offer an unprecedented opportunity to increase productivity and hence standards of living. Reviving and reimagining growth is critical to building stronger and more resilient economies and the meeting would seek to discuss how to avoid an Age of Fragmentation and instead work together on a can-do, people-centred agenda for an Intelligent Age. The global leaders would also deliberate on how to reinvent the muscle of collaborative innovation to get out of the current low-growth, high-debt world economy and address common challenges from climate change to the ethical use of AI.

Atrocities in the name of Dharma due to ignorance
MUMBAI: Days after expressing concern over the resurgence of temple-mosque disputes threatening to disrupt communal harmony, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said that all acts of persecution and atrocities committed in the name of Dharma (religion) were due to lack of true comprehension of Dharma. Speaking at an event in Maharashtras Amravati, he said improper and incomplete understanding of Dharma leads to Adharma. Dharma has always existed, governing the workings of the world, which is why it is called Sanatan (eternal). The practice of Dharma itself ensures its protection. The various reformative sects in our Dharma played a crucial role and these sects are real wealth of Dharma, he said. He said no religion teaches to divide people, but rather they impart the wisdom of uniting people. Unity is eternal. The whole universe is one. Practising non-violence protects the Dharma. If we really and properly understand the Dharma, then there will be tranquillity, equality, unity and prosperity, he said. He said while even illiterates can easily understand Dharma, its often the educated lot, who are bloated with self-pride of their knowledge, who fail to comprehend it.
BJP clears air, says NDA to fight Bihar assembly elections under Nitish, Modi
NEW DELHI: Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Samrat Choudhary said on Sunday said the NDA will contest the assembly polls in Bihar next year under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. There should not be any confusion about it. The NDA will seek the peoples mandate again under CM Nitish Kumar and PM Narendra Modis leadership, Choudhary told reporters at the party headquarters, responding to speculations regarding the projection of Kumar as the alliances leader in the 2025 state polls. The JD(U) had reaffirmed its stance on Sunday regarding Nitishs lead role in the upcoming polls. Choudharys remarks came after Union Home Minister Amit Shahs recent interview to a news channel in which he was asked if the NDA could go to the polls in Bihar without declaring a chief ministerial candidate, like it recently did with great success in Maharashtra. Shah, a former BJP president who is still regarded as the partys principal strategist, had replied after a pause, We will sit together and decide. We will let you know after we have made a decision. This ambiguous response had fuelled speculations that the BJP might reconsider projecting Kumar as its leader in the 2025 elections. Dispelling doubts, Choudhary said, The NDA is working under the leadership of Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bihar, and we will continue to contest elections under the leadership of both leaders. He added that the NDA had contested the 2020 elections with Kumar as its chief ministerial candidate and still viewed him as the alliances leader in Bihar. In future as well, we will contest elections under the leadership of Nitish Kumar and the PM, he affirmed. Choudhary also took a jibe at AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of attempting to create divisions by linking Poorvanchali people with Rohingyas and Bangladeshis. He urged people from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh settled in Delhi to respond strongly to Kejriwals comments in the upcoming Assembly elections. Referring to Kejriwals handling of the Covid pandemic, Choudhary criticised him for allegedly neglecting Bihari and UP residents in Delhi, forcing many to return to their home states due to a lack of medical facilities. He didnt even provide basic treatment for them, he alleged. Choudhary also questioned Kejriwals delayed implementation of the Ambedkar scholarship scheme for Dalit students.Why did he wait so long to introduce it? the BJP leader asked

After Portfolios Declared, Mahayuti Ministers Compete for District Guardian Ministership
Mumbai: After the cabinet portfolio distributions, tug of war has begun among the Maharashtra ministers over the post of guardian minister of the districts. Shiv Sena cabinet Bharat Gogawale has staked claim over Raigad district, while Sanjay Shirshat wants to become the guardian minister of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. Ajit Pawar-led NCP has control over Raigad district, while the BJP does not want to leave its claim on Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. There are at least 11 districts, where two or three of Mahayuti constituents have staked their claim. In Maharashtra, a cabinet minister is made guardia minister of a particular district, which means that he or she is responsible for the overall development and implementation of government schemes in the district. He/she is also the ex-officio chairperson of the District Planning Committee (DPC), which is responsible for addressing issues of common interest between panchayats (local government bodies) and municipalities, such as infrastructure development, resource sharing and environmental protection. This gives control over the government spendings in the district, because of which the position has become important for all parties. A week ago, 39 MLAs had been administered an oath of ministerial berth and secrecy. Following this, the portfolio were allocated to them on only Saturday after a lot of deliberation among the three parties BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis has kept the home department with himself, deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde has got three departments including key departments like urban development and housing, while another DCM Ajit Pawar has retained the finance portfolio. After the portfolios were announced, Shiv Sena cabinet ministers started openly demanding guardian ministership of their favorite districts. Mr. Gogawale, who has been made a minister of horticulture and salt pan land development, said that he should be made the guardian minister of Raigad district. However, it is not easy for Gogawale to get the responsibility as the Ajit Pawar-led NCPs Adity Tatkare, daughter of Sunil Tatkare, is also a strong contender here. After taking darshan at Shri Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai, Mr. Gogawales said he has sought blessings from lord Ganesha. I have prayed for Raigad district guardian ministership. I am hopeful that I will get it, he said. It is pertinent to note that Aditi Tatkare was the guardian minister for Raigad during the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government. After the collapse of the MVA government, Uday Samant was made the guardian minister of Raigad district and Sindhudurg district in the Eknath Shinde led Mahayuti government. NCP leader and Maharashtra agriculture minister Manikrao Kokate also said that the NCP has a natural claim over the guardian ministership of Nashik as his party has the largest number of MLAs from there. I will demand to keep Nashiks guardian ministership with us as we have seven legislators from here, Mr. Kokate said. There is also a report of a tug-of-war over Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, Kolhpaur and Pune districts. While deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar will not leave his claim over Pune, senior BJP cabinet minister Chandrakant Patil is also eyeing for it. An insider in the BJP said that the guardian minister of cities like Pune is important as the corporation elections are likely to be held in the first half of 2025. Therefore, Mr. Patil has been pushing for Pune districts guardian ministership. Shiv Sena cabinet minister Sanjay Shirsat said that his party would keep the guardian ministership of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar and he would be the next guardian minister. Interestingly, BJP minister Atul Save is also vying for the post. Shiv Sena also wants to continue its dominance in the Thane district, while the BJP wants the guardian ministers post for its minister Ganesh Naik. Shiv Sena leader Shambhuraj Desai wants to remain the guardian minister of Satara, where the leaders from other two parties have also joined the race. BJP cabinet minister Shivendra Raje Bhosale, descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, is hoping to get the post in Satara, the NCP is also vying for it. However, Mr. Desai denied there was any competition for the Satara guardian ministership. There is no tussle in Mahayuti, he said.
Revanth to Attract Investments for Telangana at WEF
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy will represent Telangana at the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting in Davos for the second consecutive year, aiming to attract investments to the state. Official sources confirmed that Revanth Reddy would leave for Davos on January 19 to participate in the global summit. Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and N. Chandrababu Naidu of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh will also be travelling to Davos. This years WEF meeting will adopt a new format, with the Centre replacing state-specific pavilions with a unified India pavilion to promote a cohesive national brand. Prime Minister Narendra Modis government has instructed participating states, including Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh, to share the centralised platform for investor engagements, sources said. In preparation for the event, Revanth Reddy convened a review meeting with senior officials on Sunday at his residence. Discussions focused on showcasing Telanganas strengths and potential investment opportunities, particularly in projects such as the Future City initiative and the Musi River Rejuvenation Project. The shift to a single Indian pavilion marks a departure from previous years, where states independently showcased their investment opportunities. Despite the change, Telangana aims to highlight its infrastructure, tourism, and healthcare sectors, alongside its established strengths in IT and pharmaceuticals. The WEFs 55th annual meeting, themed Collaboration for the Intelligent Age, will bring together global leaders from government, business, civil society, and other sectors to address complex global challenges. According to the WEF, the summit will focus on fostering dialogue, future-oriented insights, and actionable solutions for an interconnected world. Telanganas delegation will participate in key discussions, including sessions on Indias Economic Blueprint, alongside other Indian leaders. By leveraging this platform, the state aims to strengthen its global presence and attract investments to fuel its ambitious development agenda.
