PM Modi taking India towards league of developed nations: Chandrababu Naidu
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Sep 17 (IANS) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said on Thursday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is taking India towards the league of developed nations. Participating in the VaranasiVadnagar Seva Sankalp Abhiyan programme in Varanasi on Thursday to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modis 25 years in public service, he said PM Modi believes that serving the people is serving the nation. According to a release by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) here, Chandrababu Naidu called Kashi the karmabhoomi of PM Modi, who has been elected to the Lok Sabha from Varanasi three times. Kashi has not merely elected a leader for Varanasi, but has given the country a leader, he added. The TDP chief, who began his speech with a few Hindi words, said the country was changing and progressing. The Chief Minister claimed that under Prime Minister Modis leadership, 25 crore people have come out of poverty and 80 crore people are receiving free foodgrains. Through schemes such as Jal Jeevan Mission and AMRUT, drinking-water facilities have been extended to four crore households, he said. PM-KISAN is benefiting 11 crore farmers, with funds being transferred directly into their bank accounts without intermediaries, he said. At a time when several countries were facing crises, Prime Minister Modi provided leadership that protected the interests of 140 crore Indians, the Chief Minister said. Chandrababu Naidu said Prime Minister Modi encouraged the production of 200 crore COVID vaccine doses and India supplied COVID vaccines free of cost to 101 countries, describing it as an expression of humanitarian concern. Policies such as Atmanirbhar Bharat and Vocal for Global strengthened the Make in India concept. India had earlier depended on imports for defence equipment, but has now reached a stage where it is exporting defence equipment, he said. The Prime Minister has understood emerging technologies such as space, drones, quantum technology, semiconductors and robotics, and is creating opportunities for the youth through them, Chandrababu said. The Chief Minister said that while youth earlier largely depended on employment, India now has 2.20 lakh start-ups, enabling young people to become job creators. India ranks third among countries with strong start-up ecosystems, he said. Naidu described the Prime Ministers initiatives for womens welfare and empowerment as significant, citing Beti BachaoBeti Padhao and Lakhpati Didi. Ujjwala provides access to clean fuel, Mudra facilitates access to finance, and self-help groups are strengthening confidence and economic participation among women. The Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, providing 33 per cent reservation for women in legislatures, would be a game changer, he said. Chandrababu Naidu said India had emerged as a strong global power and cited Operation Sindoor as an example of the countrys response to security challenges. He congratulated Defence Minister Rajnath Singh for the conduct of Operation Sindoor. Recalling his own experience of confronting Naxalism, he said the country had now made significant progress in eliminating Naxalism and Maoism. The Chief Minister praised the completion of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, saying that a long-pending aspiration had been realised. He said the Andhra Pradesh government proposes to construct a Lord Venkateswara temple in Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Rama. He appealed to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to allot 10 acres of land for the construction of the Venkateswara temple. The VaranasiVadnagar Seva Yatra was launched as part of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, which connects Varanasi, Prime Minister Modis parliamentary constituency, with Vadnagar, his birthplace. Earlier, Chandrababu Naidu offered prayers to Lord Kasiviswanath along with Union Ministers Rajnath Singh, Chirag Paswan, and UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Singer-composer Vishal Mishra is bringing the cultural and devotional traditions of Bihars Chhath festival to mainstream Hindi cinema with Chhathi Maiya, the latest song from Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia starrer The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest. The song brings the festival to the big screen, with Tamannaah performing Chhath rituals alongside Sidharth. For Vishal Mishra, Chhathi Maiya holds significance beyond being another addition to a film soundtrack. The song gives him an opportunity to introduce the faith, traditions and cultural identity associated with Chhath to a wider audience through mainstream Bollywood cinema. Vishal has sung and composed the track, while the lyrics have been penned by Kaushal Kishore. The collaboration also marks a reunion between the two artistes, who previously worked together on the 2021 devotional song Chhathi Maiya Bulaye. The song went on to garner over 16 million views on YouTube, making their collaboration on the new track a continuation of their association with music rooted in Bhojpuri culture. Speaking about the cultural relevance of Chhathi Maiya, Vishal highlighted his personal connection with the traditions represented by the song. He has described Bhojpuri as more than just a language, calling it a reflection of the soil, folk traditions and cultural identity of Bihar and Purvanchal. It is truly an honour and a blessing for me to bring the faith and sacred tradition of Chhath, deeply rooted in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand, to Hindi cinema for the first time, Vishal has said, adding that his wish is for the beauty and fragrance of the culture to travel to every corner of the world. The song brings the rituals and devotional atmosphere of Chhath to the screen, with Tamannaah Bhatia seen performing the rituals alongside Sidharth Malhotra. The release has also connected with audiences who share a personal and cultural association with the festival. Chhathi Maiya thus marks a move from Vishals earlier independent devotional work into a mainstream Hindi film setting, while retaining the cultural roots at the centre of the song. Through the track, the makers have incorporated an important festival associated with Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand into the narrative and musical world of The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest. Directed by Deepak Mishra, The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest stars Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead roles. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on September 25.

HM Shah flags off Vadnagar to Varanasi bike yatra on PM Modis 76th birthday
Digital Desk | Vadnagar, Sep 17 (IANS) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday flagged off the Vadnagar to Varanasi bike rally from Prime Minister Narendra Modis birthplace in Gujarat, launching a multi-state journey that will carry the message of his 25 years in public life to villages along the route. The rally was flagged off from Vadnagar as part of the Bharatiya Janata Partys (BJP) month-long 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan', being organised from September 17 to October 17 to mark PM Modis 76th birthday and his 25 years in public life. A parallel Varanasi to Vadnagar ride was also flagged off from PM Modis parliamentary constituency in Uttar Pradesh. Addressing the gathering before the flag-off, HM Shah said the Vadnagar-Varanasi journey would connect PM Modis birthplace with his karmabhoomi and take the message of his work to people across the country. The Vadnagar leg will pass through seven states. Around 300 bikers would leave Vadnagar, while another 300 would travel from Varanasi, taking the total number of participants in the two groups to 600. The riders will cover villages along the route and highlight PM Modis 25 years of public service, he said. The Home Minister said the journey would begin from the premises of the Hatkeshwar Mahadev Temple in Vadnagar and proceed towards Kashi Vishwanath in Varanasi. The BJP had earlier announced that the two simultaneous journeys would culminate on October 7, the date on which PM Modi became Gujarat chief minister in 2001. The wider campaign has been planned as a nationwide outreach programme, with activities including service initiatives, public programmes and events highlighting PM Modis political journey. The bike campaign said the twin routes would together cover about 40,000 km, passing through 193 districts and 1,159 villages, with the wider network spanning 10 states. At the Vadnagar event, HM Shah said the purpose of the ride was to take account of PM Modis work beyond cities and reach people in villages. He said the campaign is also intended to familiarise younger generations with PM Modis political journey. Today is Modi jis birthday, but October 7 is the day on which he will complete 25 years as the chief minister of the state and the Prime Minister of the country, Shah said. The flag-off followed a programme at Vadnagar that included a Maha Aarti at Sharmishtha Lake, a foot march and the launch of a cleanliness campaign. HM Shah had earlier offered prayers at the Hatkeshwar Mahadev Temple and wished PM Modi a long and healthy life. The Seva Sankalp Abhiyan is being conducted across the country during the month-long period, with BJP units organising various public-service and outreach activities.

Allahabad HC sets Ayush Malik free after he says he voluntarily converted to Islam
The Allahabad High Court has set Ayush Malik, a 31-year-old man from Shamli who said he had voluntarily converted to Islam, at liberty to live at a place of his choice, observing that an adults decisions regarding faith, residence and marriage cannot be overridden by family objections. Justice Sandeep Jain passed the order on Wednesday while hearing a habeas corpus petition alleging that Malik, who changed his name to Mohammad Ali, was being illegally confined by his family following his religious conversion. The court said Malik had categorically stated that he embraced Islam voluntarily and that his decision was not influenced by any threat, coercion, undue influence or pressure. Nothing has been brought on record which may persuade this Court to disbelieve the statement made by the corpus in the course of his interaction with the Court, the Bench observed. The court said there was no lawful justification for continuing any restraint on Maliks personal liberty after he expressed his wishes before it. It directed that he be allowed to reside wherever and with whomever he chose, profess and practise the religion of his choice, and take an appropriate decision regarding his matrimonial relationship in accordance with law. Father opposed conversion The court was informed that Malik had embraced Islam in 2014 and had been following the essential practices of the faith. He told the Bench that his decision was not acceptable to his parents and other family members. Malik also expressed his intention to marry Chandni Qureshi, a Muslim woman, and alleged that he had been subjected to threats and unlawful confinement at his home since June 4. His father, Devraj Singh Malik, disputed his sons account, claiming that he had been influenced or brainwashed by certain persons and had not converted voluntarily. The court noted that the fathers concern for his sons welfare was understandable but said it could not override the constitutionally protected autonomy of an adult capable of making decisions about his own life. Court cites individual autonomy The Bench said a person who has attained majority is ordinarily entitled to determine their faith according to their conscience. Such a choice, being an expression of individual autonomy and freedom of conscience, cannot be displaced merely because it is not acceptable to his family members, it observed. The court also said the right to choose a person with whom one wishes to establish a matrimonial relationship is an integral part of the right to life and personal liberty guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution. It added that the mere fact that an adults choice may go against the wishes or expectations of family members cannot, by itself, provide a legitimate basis for restricting that choice. Once an adult person has unequivocally expressed his free will and choice before the Court, such choice is ordinarily entitled to be respected, the Bench said. Background of the case The court had on September 9 directed authorities in Uttar Pradesh to produce Malik before it. His conversion had earlier led to the arrest of Chandni Qureshi and her father under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021, in a case registered by Shamli police. Malik had previously told the media that he converted voluntarily. His father, a businessman, had alleged that the woman and her family coerced him in an attempt to gain control over their property. Malik had reportedly later returned to Hinduism. The latest habeas corpus petition, however, alleged that he was being illegally confined by his family. The court said that in exercising its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution, it was not required to substitute its own perception of what would be beneficial for the considered choice of an adult. It accordingly set Malik at liberty to make decisions concerning his residence, faith and matrimonial relationship.
Established new benchmarks of good governance: Prez Murmu extends birthday wishes to PM Modi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 17 (IANS) President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday extended birthday greetings to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that over the past 25 years, during his tenure as Chief Minister and Prime Minister, he has established several new benchmarks of good governance and imparted unprecedented momentum and a new direction to inclusive development. President Murmu took to social media 'X' and said, Heartfelt birthday greetings and best wishes to the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. Over the past 25 years, during your tenure as Chief Minister and Prime Minister, you have established many new benchmarks of good governance and imparted unprecedented momentum and a new direction to inclusive development. While advancing on the path of modern progress with a sense of cultural pride, our countrymen are realising the harmony between heritage and development. I pray to God for your excellent health and long life, so that you may continue to relentlessly advance your campaign of public service and nation-building, the President said. PM Modi was born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, in present-day Gujarat. PM Modi was born three years after India's Independence in 1947, making him the first Prime Minister of the country to have been born in independent India. He grew up in a modest family and helped at his family's tea stall during his childhood. He became an RSS pracharak in Ahmedabad in 1972, beginning a period of full-time organisational work. During the Emergency of 1975-77, he participated in activities associated with the movement opposing the Emergency and seeking the restoration of democracy. He completed a master's degree in political science from Gujarat University. PM Modi began working as the BJP's General Secretary in Gujarat in 1987, marking his formal rise within the party organisation. One of his first major assignments in the BJP involved the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation election, where the party recorded its first victory in the civic body. In the 1990 Gujarat Assembly election, the BJP emerged as the state's second-largest party behind the Congress. The BJP won 121 seats in the Gujarat Assembly in the 1995 election, when PM Modi was working in the party's organisational structure. He became a BJP national secretary in 1995 and was given responsibility for the party's activities in Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. He subsequently became the BJP's General Secretary (Organisation), one of the party's senior organisational positions. He played an organisational role in the BJP's preparations for the 1998 Lok Sabha election, when the BJP emerged as the largest constituent of the government formed under Atal Bihari Vajpayee. He became the Chief Minister of Gujarat on October 7, 2001, and went on to serve in the post for more than 12 years. He contested the 2014 Lok Sabha election from both Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and Vadodara in Gujarat. He won both seats in the 2014 election and subsequently retained Varanasi. The BJP won 282 Lok Sabha seats in the 2014 general election, giving the party a majority on its own. He was sworn in as Prime Minister on May 26, 2014, with then President Pranab Mukherjee administering the oath at Rashtrapati Bhavan. PM Modi contested Varanasi again in the 2019 Lok Sabha election and won the seat for a second consecutive time. The BJP won 303 Lok Sabha seats in the 2019 general election. PM Modi contested the Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency for the third consecutive general election in 2024. PM Modi won Varanasi in the 2024 election and retained the constituency for a third consecutive term. The BJP won 240 Lok Sabha seats in the 2024 general election, below the 272 seats required for a majority on its own. PM Modi subsequently took oath as Prime Minister for a third consecutive term.

Coal Ministry urges UP to build long-term fuel security for its thermal power plants
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 17 (IANS) Coal Ministry on Thursday advised Uttar Pradesh to accord priority to the early development of its captive coal block to build long-term fuel security for its thermal power plants and reduce dependence on external coal sources. In an official statement, the ministry said that recent media reports have indicated that the State of Uttar Pradesh is facing a severe power shortage on account of a disruption in coal supply. The Ministry of Coal places the following facts on record to clarify the actual position and to reiterate its advice to the State to expedite development of its own captive coal block, even as Coal India Limited (CIL) continues to fully meet the State's coal requirement, the statement added. As on September 15, none of the thermal power plants of Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (UPRVUNL) is in the critical-stock category. The current stock position, therefore, does not indicate any critical coal availability constraint at the plant end, said the Coal Ministry. According to the ministry, the Saharpur Jamarpani coal block in Dumka district, Jharkhand, holding reserves of more than 973 million tonnes, was allotted to UPRVUNL in 2015 by the Ministry of Coal under the Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Act, 2015, specifically to meet the coal requirement of its thermal power projects. More than 10 years since the allotment, no progress has been made towards operationalisation of the block, on account of a lack of requisite initiative by UPRVUNL. As a result, the entire coal requirement of Uttar Pradesh's power plants continues to be met by CIL, the ministry further said. Meanwhile, 14 other coal blocks allotted for captive use in the power sector on or after the date of allotment of Saharpur Jamarpani have already been operationalised and have commenced coal production for their respective end-use plants. The coal stock position at UPRVUNL's thermal power plants has been improving steadily. Stock stood at 7.25 lakh tonnes (LT) on September 1 and rose to 8.41 LT by September 15. Over the last seven days, average daily coal receipt of around 0.90 LT has exceeded average daily consumption of around 0.83 LT, reflecting a continuing build-up of stock. Unloading constraints at various plants, which lead to periodic restrictions on rake placement by the Railways, limiting further augmentation of coal supplies, said the ministry. It is also pertinent to note that despite coal stock having increased to over 8 LT, the current-month Plant Load Factor (PLF) of UPRVUNL's thermal power plants stands at only around 48 per cent. The lower generation during the current month cannot, therefore, be attributed to inadequate coal availability at the plant end. Improvement in generation would require the State to address operational constraints at its generating stations and ensure optimal utilisation of available coal stock, the ministry noted.
