India Moving Fast on Path of Development: PM
He said spiritual tourism has ushered in development in Uttar Pradesh, with devotees visiting pilgrimage sites contributing thousands of crores of rupees to the state's economy
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said India is moving fast on the path of development, as he flagged off four new Vande Bharat Express trains from the Banaras railway station in Varanasi, his Lok Sabha constituency. Emphasising that infrastructure is a major factor in the economic growth of developed countries around the world, the prime minister said, In every nation that has achieved major progress, the driving force behind it has been infrastructure development. Infrastructure is not just about big bridges and highways. Whenever such systems are developed anywhere, it sparks the overall development of that region. With so many Vande Bharat trains running and flights arriving from countries across the world, all these developments are now linked to growth. Today, India is also moving rapidly on this path, he said. PM Modi said high-speed trains like Vande Bharat are laying the foundation for a ew generation of Indian Railways. Trains like Vande Bharat, Namo Bharat and Amrit Bharat are laying the foundation of a new generation of Indian Railways. Vande Bharat is a train of Indians, built by Indians for Indians, of which every Indian is proud, he said. He claimed that foreign travellers are amazed by these trains adding that more than 160 Vande Bharat Express trains are now operational in the country. Modi further said that spiritual tourism has become a major source of income and has ushered in development in Uttar Pradesh. In our country, pilgrimage has for centuries been considered a medium of national consciousness. These journeys are not merely routes for darshan of deities, but a sacred tradition that connects the soul of India, Modi said. Places like Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Haridwar, Chitrakoot and Kurukshetra are the centres of our spiritual beliefs, he said. Today, as these sacred destinations are being connected through the Vande Bharat network, it is also linking India's culture, faith and development. This is an important step towards making symbols of India's heritage a representation of national growth, he said. These journeys also have an economic aspect, which is often not discussed. Over the past 11 years, the development work done in Uttar Pradesh has elevated pilgrimage tourism to a new level, the PM said. Last year, more than 11 crore devotees came to Kashi for Baba Vishwanath's darshan, and since the construction of the Ram Temple, over 6 crore people have visited Ayodhya to seek the blessings of Ram Lalla. These devotees have contributed thousands of crores of rupees to Uttar Pradesh's economy and provided steady income to hotel owners, transport operators, local artists and boatmen, he said. This has created new opportunities for the youth, Modi said. Hundreds of young people in Varanasi are now starting new ventures, from transport to local businesses. Because of all this, the doors of prosperity are opening in Kashi and across Uttar Pradesh, he said. To realise the dream of a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India) from a 'Viksit Kashi', numerous infrastructure projects are being undertaken here, Modi said. Today, Kashi is experiencing continuous expansion, development and qualitative improvement, with facilities ranging from good hospitals, good roads, gas pipelines, and internet connectivity, he said. Work on the ropeway is progressing rapidly, he said. Our effort is to make visiting Varanasi, staying in Varanasi and enjoying the amenities of Varanasi a special experience for everyone, he added. Modi said the government is also striving to improve health services in Varanasi. He said 10-11 years ago, BHU hospital was the only option for people seeking treatment for serious illnesses. Due to the large number of patients, one could not get treatment even after waiting overnight. For serious illnesses like cancer, people would sell their land and farms, and travel to Mumbai for treatment. Today, our government has worked to alleviate all these concerns of the people of Kashi. Mahamana cancer hospital for cancer, Sankara Netralaya for eye treatment, the state-of-the-art trauma centre at BHU, and the divisional hospital at Shatabdi Chikitsalaya, Pandeypur, have all become a boon for Kashi, Purvanchal, and the surrounding states, he said. Due to Ayushman Bharat and Janaushadhi Kendras in these hospitals, millions of poor people are saving crores of rupees. Kashi has become known as the health capital of this entire region, the prime minister said. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also attended the event. The new Vande Bharat Express trains will operate on Banaras-Khajuraho, Lucknow-Saharanpur, Firozpur-Delhi and Ernakulam-Bengaluru routes. The semi-high-speed trains will significantly reduce travel time between major stations, enhance regional mobility, promote tourism and support economic activity across the country, according to an official statement. The Banaras-Khajuraho Vande Bharat Express will connect prominent cultural and religious destinations, including Varanasi, Prayagraj and Chitrakoot, officials said. (With inputs from PTI)

Rahul Gandhi accuses NDA of reducing Bihars people to labourers, vows revival under Mahagathbandhan
PATNA: Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Friday accused the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government of urning the people of Bihar into labourers over the past 20 years. Addressing a public rally in Bhagalpur, the Congress MP appealed to people to support the Mahagathbandhan to enable it to form the next government in Bihar for the states rapid development. If you want industries to be set up, quality education, and good governance, then vote for Mahagathbandhan, he told the gathering. Gandhi also renewed his allegations of voter fraud in the Haryana Assembly elections, stating that Haryana has 20 million electors, but there are over 2.5 million fake voters in the states voter list. He claimed that members of the BJP live in Uttar Pradesh and vote in both Uttar Pradesh and Haryana . Gandhi alleged that the name of a Brazilian woman appeared 22 times in Haryanas voter list. In Haryana, one household has 500 voters, and another has 60. When we inquired, no one lived in the houses, he said, adding that the Congress had provided proof of how votes were stolen in Haryana. He accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and the Election Commission of conspiring to manipulate votes in Haryana, as well as vote theft in the Lok Sabha, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh elections. He also criticised the Election Commissions Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar, accusing it of removing Mahagathbandhan supporters names and withholding voter lists until the last minute. Rahul said that the Prime Minister often talked about reducing data prices so that youth can make reels and earn money. But the money spent on data goes to big companies. This is an attempt to distract the youth so that they dont demand jobs, he told the crowd. He later interacted with the weavers of Bhagalpur, known as the Silk City of Bihar. Rahul was in Bhagalpur to address a rally in support of Mahagathbandhan candidates. Congress sitting MLA Ajeet Sharma, who is seeking re-election from the seat, was also present.

Azam Khan meets Akhilesh Yadav, sends message of resilience and justice
LUCKNOW: Calling it a meeting aimed at sending a message of resilience, justice, and change, Samajwadi Party veteran leader Azam Khan met with SP chief Akhilesh Yadav here on Friday. He said the purpose of the meeting was to convey the importance of resilience and the need for justice and political change in Uttar Pradesh. Interacting with the media after the meeting, Khan said, The real intent of our meeting was to show that despite the oppression and historic injustices we faced, there are still people whose endurance is stronger than stone or mountain. Many of our people are still in jail. During our meeting, we reminded each other of those painful times so that future generations remember that such injustice once took place, Khan added. He was accompanied by his son and former MLA Abdullah Azam at the SP headquarters in Lucknow. The senior SP leader, who was recently released after spending nearly two years in jail on multiple charges, including land grabbing and intimidation, expressed gratitude to sections of the media for what he described as a change of perception. Those who once misunderstood me now seem to realize that great injustice was done to us, he said. Recalling the Income Tax raids at his residence and at Ali Jauhar University in Rampur, Khan said officials used words that could make any decent person bow his head in shame. Jauhar University was built by Azam Khan in Rampur when he served as Urban Development Minister in the Akhilesh Yadav cabinet from 2012 to 2017. He added, Such misuse of agencies must not happen again. Until the political system improves and people understand what is truly happening, injustice will continue. But I can sense change. Those who once opposed me now come to meet me, embrace me, and weep. That is a sign of transformation. Rejecting speculation that his visit to Lucknow was linked to any court case, Khan said there was no other reason for his visit but to meet Akhilesh Yadav and send a message that they stand for change. The meeting marks the second major interaction between the two leaders in a month. On October 8, Akhilesh Yadav visited Rampur to meet Khan, describing him as a strong pillar of the Samajwadi Party and promising that, if voted to power, a future SP government would withdraw all false cases against Khan and others similarly targeted. The 77-year-old Azam Khan, a founding member of the Samajwadi Party and a close aide of the party patriarch, the late Mulayam Singh Yadav, was once among the most influential ministers in the SP governments of Uttar Pradesh.

As the nation celebrates the Indian Women’s Cricket Team’s historic World Cup victory, another sport is preparing to step into the limelight - women’s wrestling. Just days before the cricket triumph, the Pro Wrestling League (PWL) was officially announced at a grand press conference in New Delhi, confirming its much-awaited return in January 2026. Together, these two milestones signal a powerful new chapter in Indian sports - one where women athletes are leading the nation’s success stories across disciplines. Announcement of Pro Wrestling League-2026 in New Delhi at a Press Conference Pro Wrestling League 2026: A New Beginning The revived Pro Wrestling League (PWL) promises to bring wrestling back to center stage with a vibrant, professional, and gender-inclusive model. Supported by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), the league will follow an IPL-style franchise format, featuring a mix of top Indian and international wrestlers. A WFI spokesperson at the launch event said, “ The return of PWL is not just about entertainment - it’s about giving India’s women wrestlers a global platform to shine. After the phenomenal success of our women cricketers, wrestling is ready to script the next chapter in India’s sporting revolution .” Special Focus on Women’s Participation One of the most exciting aspects of PWL 2026 is its dedicated focus on promoting women’s participation and leadership in wrestling. The league organizers have committed to ensuring: Equal representation of women athletes across teams. Prime-time telecasts for women’s matches to boost viewership. Mentorship programs pairing emerging wrestlers with senior champions. Equal prize money and sponsorship opportunities for female competitors. This emphasis aligns with India’s growing movement toward gender parity in sports and aims to make wrestling an aspirational career choice for young girls across the country. CEO of PWL Mr. Akhil Gupta said, “ The return of the Pro Wrestling League is not just about reviving a sport, it’s about reigniting a dream. Our women wrestlers have the talent, grit, and fire to stand tall on any global stage. With equal opportunities and stronger visibility, we’re building a future where wrestling inspires every young girl to believe she can. This is more than a league, it’s India’s movement of strength and sisterhood. ” Cricket’s Inspiration, Wrestling’s Opportunity The Indian women’s cricket team’s World Cup win has redefined how fans and sponsors perceive women athletes. Sports analysts believe this newfound enthusiasm will now spill over into wrestling - opening doors for corporate investments, endorsements, and mass fan engagement in PWL. With India already home to world-class wrestlers like Sakshi Malik, Antim Panghal, and Vinesh Phogat, the Pro Wrestling League could become a turning point - transforming wrestling from a rural pursuit to a national prime-time sport. Grassroots Empowerment and Broader Vision The PWL revival also carries a developmental goal. Training academies in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra are gearing up for talent scouting programs to identify and support young women wrestlers. Simultaneously, government initiatives and CSR-backed sports foundations are aligning resources to expand coaching, nutrition, and international exposure. This dual approach - professional platform plus grassroots growth - is expected to establish wrestling as one of India’s strongest medal hopes for the Paris 2028 Olympics and beyond. Conclusion: The Rise of a New Sporting Sisterhood As India basks in the glow of its women cricketers’ triumph, the return of the Pro Wrestling League 2026 marks the beginning of another inspiring journey. It’s more than a league - it’s a movement, symbolizing strength, equality, and opportunity for India’s women athletes. From the pitch to the mat, India’s daughters are not just competing - they’re changing the face of Indian sports forever.
