5000 water bodies in Kolkata illegally filled up for real estate promotion by Mamata: Bengal CM
Digital Desk | Kolkata. Oct 12 (IANS) Around 5,000 water bodies in and around Kolkata were illegally filled up for real estate promotion during the previous Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress regime in West Bengal, claimed Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Monday. He made this allegation while speaking at a function organised by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) on Monday and accused a section of the Trinamool Congress councillors of the now dismantled KMC board of being behind this menace. These councillors were square feet councillors. They were responsible for illegally filling up around 5,000 water bodies in several pockets under the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority from Joka and Haridebpur in the southern outskirts of Kolkata to Barasat, and Madhyamgram on the northern outskirts of the city during the previous regime. These square feet councillors have done everything that needed to be done to destroy the environment of Kolkata, he said. Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister was in praise of Agnimitra Paul, the state municipal affairs & urban development minister and fashion-designer-turned politician. She is very active. Just as she works from her office, she also hits the streets for field inspections. The people who have done nothing troll her on social media. I have advised her to totally ignore them, the Chief Minister said. Meanwhile, in another back-to-back program, where the Chief Minister handed over appointment letters to 12,000 police constables both in West Bengal Police and Kolkata Police, the Chief Minister said that there will be 9,000 additional recruitments in the police department soon. The police-to-public ratio in Uttar Pradesh is 200 cops for every one lakh of population. I promise that soon West Bengal will surpass Uttar Pradesh both in terms of police personnel and the police-to-public ratio, the Chief Minister said. Speaking on the occasion, he claimed that during the previous regime the police stations in the state were civic-volunteer centric. I do not blame the civic volunteers. They were recruited by the previous administration without following the basic recruitment procedure and without checking their eligibility. No training was arranged for them. They were also exploited, he said. On handing over the appointment letters to 12,000 police constables, CM Adhikari said that these recruitments in the police department were stuck midway because of the flawed Other Backwards Classes (OBC) policy of the previous ruling dispensation. Now we have corrected those flaws, cleared the appointment process, and appointment letters have been handed over to the successful candidates. More will be done in the coming days, the Chief Minister said.
Dont take sting operation against Siddaramaiah lightly: Kumaraswamy to Ktaka govt
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 12 (IANS) Union Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Monday demanded a comprehensive investigation into allegations that a sting operation had been conducted to tarnish the reputation of former Karnataka Chief Minister and Congress Working Committee (CWC) Member Siddaramaiah, urging the state government to identify those behind it and take action against the guilty. Addressing media in Bengaluru, Kumaraswamy said the government should establish the truth about the alleged operation and determine who had carried it out and who was involved. He said it was not appropriate to evade an investigation by claiming that time will answer the questions surrounding the controversy. Siddaramaiah had served as Chief Minister, and the allegations of a sting operation targeting him should not be taken lightly, Kumaraswamy said. He demanded answers on who was involved, the role played by each person and what action the government had taken so far. The Union Minister also questioned why the government had not initiated an investigation when Siddaramaiah himself had reportedly called for a probe and said the truth should come out. Kumaraswamy said he had fought against Siddaramaiah politically and had continued to criticise him on several issues even after leaving the party. However, he said he could not remain silent if an operation had been conducted with the intention of damaging the reputation of a former Chief Minister. He clarified that his demand was not intended to generate sympathy for Siddaramaiah but to ensure that those responsible for any wrongdoing were identified and action was taken against them. Referring to the file related to the sting operation, Kumaraswamy said the media had shown that the Chief Minister had taken it to a Cabinet meeting. He observed that discussions held during Cabinet meetings generally did not leak to the public. Drawing a comparison with the Union government, he said ministers at the Centre also held discussions and received advice on various matters, but such deliberations did not usually become public. Questioning why discussions on the issue had emerged in the public domain in Karnataka, he demanded an investigation to identify those responsible for leaking information. Kumaraswamy said the fact that the Chief Minister had taken a file concerning an investigation into the sting operation to the Cabinet raised questions about whether the government already had information about the case. He questioned why the matter had been discussed in the Cabinet if the government was not prepared to allow an investigation. Instead of using the controversy for political publicity, the government should investigate the allegations and place the facts before the public, he said. Kumaraswamy also claimed that the pen drive in his possession was genuine and alleged that others were attempting to portray it as fake. He said that if the sting operation had indeed taken place, the people involved should be identified and investigated. He added that allegations suggesting the involvement of people from Uttar Pradesh, Union Ministers or BJP leaders should also be examined as part of the investigation. The Union Minister further questioned why police protection and security personnel had allegedly been provided to the person linked to the sting operation. Expressing concern over the possibility of such incidents continuing in the state, Kumaraswamy asked how ordinary people could live peacefully if such activities persisted. He reiterated that the government must establish the truth through a proper investigation, identify those responsible for any wrongdoing and take appropriate action against them.

Maha CM accuses Rahul Gandhi, INDIA bloc of trying to weaken judiciary through protests
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 12 (IANS) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday launched a scathing attack on Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi and the INDIA bloc, accusing them of executing a deliberate strategy to pressure and delegitimize India's constitutional institutions, including the Supreme Court, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The Chief Ministers strong reaction came as INDIA bloc leaders, led by Rahul Gandhi, staged a high-voltage march in New Delhi towards the Supreme Court. The opposition leaders are demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar, accusing him, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of subverting electoral integrity and obbing the nation. CM Fadnavis criticised the opposition for brandishing copies of the Constitution while systematically undermining constitutional bodies. He alleged that the current protests are part of an extreme far-left plot designed to reject Dr B R Ambedkars Constitution and breed public distrust against democratic systems. Questioning the rationale behind marching to the apex court to force a meeting with the Chief Justice of India (CJI), CM Fadnavis asked, Which section of the Constitution empowers a political march to demand an audience with the Chief Justice of India? Attempting to exert pressure on the Supreme Court is a direct insult to Dr Ambedkar's Constitution. Drawing a sharp contrast, he invoked the 1975 Emergency imposed by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He highlighted how the Congress regime then suspended fundamental rights and restricted citizens from approaching High Courts and the Supreme Court. We fought against constitutional tampering in 1975, and we will fight again today. We will never allow anyone to alter or tamper with Dr B R Ambedkar's Constitution, he declared. CM Fadnavis asserted that Congress's repeated electoral failures have driven it to resort to anarchy. He also pointed to instances during past agitations at Jantar Mantar, where social media algorithms were manipulated to spread chaos, noting that platforms like Meta later issued apologies over ad-driven content and missteps involving Prime Minister Modi's posts. He stated that Congress needs to stop blaming Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) for its political setbacks and instead look inward at its failed leadership. Congress needs to find the reasons for its failure not in EVMs, but in its own leadership. This is a rejected leadership that is repeatedly re-launched, only to fail every time, he noted. Emphasising Congresss declining footprint, CM Fadnavis noted that key states across the nation have rejected the party for decades, including Tamil Nadu: 59 years, West Bengal: 50 years, Uttar Pradesh: 46 years, Sikkim: 42 years, Bihar: 36 years, Tripura: 33 years, Gujarat: 31 years and Madhya Pradesh & Odisha: 23+ years. He added that across 18 states, voters have distanced themselves from Congress for decades, forcing the party to rely heavily on regional partners like the DMK, RJD, and BSP to survive. He accused the opposition of systematically trying to instill distrust in the public mind regarding democratic institutions and the rule of law.
Congress leadership directionless, blames institutions for poll defeats: Shivraj Chouhan
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 12 (IANS) Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Monday launched a sharp attack on the Congress, accusing its top leadership of being completely directionless and asserting that this was the primary reason behind the party's repeated electoral defeats across the country. Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, Chouhan said, For several years, Congress has been continuously attacking constitutional institutions. Now, it has stooped to a point where putting the blame on constitutional institutions for election defeats has become a pattern. Losing elections one after another and then taking out protests has become the fate of the Congress... The reason for the repeated election defeats is not the Election Commission, but the directionless leadership of Congress itself, Chouhan said, pointing to alleged internal differences in the party's Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Karnataka divisions. The Union Minister further claimed that the Congress had been politically marginalised in several major states for a considerable period, citing Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Sikkim, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar as examples. Except for three or four states, Congress has been reduced to a junior partner in every other state, he said. Chouhan also accused the Congress of targeting constitutional institutions for political gain. Congress cannot win the country over by attacking constitutional institutions simply for the sake of holding onto power, he added. In a further attack, Chouhan alleged that the Congress routinely criticised institutions whenever their decisions or actions went against the party's interests. Congress is in such a state that when a court verdict goes against it, it attacks the court. When it loses an election, it attacks the Election Commission. When the Army eliminates terrorists, it attacks the Army. Congress has found it impossible to digest India's progress and the trust of the country's 1.40 crore people. That is why I say, with great anguish, that Congress is now joining hands with forces seeking to divide the country, Chouhan said, reiterating that the party's top leadership was completely directionless. Chouhan also took aim at remarks comparing the Congress to Lord Shiva's wedding procession, and said, Just now, they were saying that Congress is like Lord Shiva's wedding procession. They are talking about Lord Shiva's procession while opposing Lord Ram. This is not Lord Shiva's wedding procession; it is a group of troublemakers spreading chaos and trying to create disorder on the streets, he said. The Agriculture Minister also alleged that the Congress and the INDIA bloc were influenced by foreign powers and accused them of associating with groups and individuals whom he described as being opposed to India's interests. Congress and the INDIA bloc have now become puppets in the hands of foreign powers. For the sake of power, they sometimes rely on the Left, sometimes on cockroaches, sometimes on anti-national forces like George Soros, and sometimes on NGOs, he added. Referring to Rahul Gandhi's earlier statements, Chouhan said, Rahul Gandhi had once said that his fight is against the 'Indian state itself'; what does this mean, Rahul Gandhi? This shows how low Congress and Rahul have stooped. The remarks came amid the Congress-led INDIA bloc's march towards the Supreme Court, seeking the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over the controversy surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Opposition leaders have alleged irregularities in the revision exercise and raised concerns over the electoral rolls, while the BJP has defended the process and accused the Congress of politicising the issue.
UP CM Yogi releases Rs 493 Crore subsidy to over 9 Lakh farmers hit by crop damage
Digital Desk | Gorakhpur, Oct 12 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday released Rs 493 crore in agricultural input subsidy through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to over nine lakh farmers affected by crop damage caused by floods, excessive rainfall, hailstorms and cyclones. Addressing a gathering in Gorakhpur, the Chief Minister said the amount was transferred directly into the bank accounts of 9,18,091 farmers based on digital crop survey reports received from various districts. Based on the digital crop survey reports received from the districts, we have today released around Rs 500 crore, or Rs 493 crore, directly into the bank accounts of our farmer beneficiaries, he said. Adityanath said the digital survey system and DBT mechanism under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership had ensured that financial assistance reached the intended beneficiaries without intermediaries. Now, PM Modi has proved that if the survey is conducted digitally, the money will also be transferred through DBT directly into the accounts of farmer beneficiaries, he said. Taking a swipe at the Congress and the Samajwadi Party, the Chief Minister alleged that middlemen previously siphoned off funds meant for farmers and other beneficiaries. Remember, there was a time when the Congress government would send Rs 100, but beneficiaries would receive only Rs 15. Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had acknowledged that only Rs 15 out of every Rs 100 reached the intended beneficiaries, he said. CM Yogi asserted that under the present government, beneficiaries received the full amount sanctioned to them. He said the Rs 493 crore assistance was intended to provide immediate relief to farmers and help them cope with agricultural losses. The Chief Minister said excessive rainfall, hailstorms, cyclones and floods over the past week caused extensive crop damage across the state and resulted in the loss of human and animal lives. He added that the state government had also alerted the administration to ensure safety in flood-affected areas and allocated funds to address difficulties faced by people in travelling and accessing essential services. The double-engine government is providing compensation to farmers for crop, house and livestock losses through the Disaster Relief Fund within just eight to 10 days, he said. Adityanath further said that during the current monsoon season, the government had allocated Rs 1,000 crore for farmers and other affected residents. He said families whose houses had been damaged or destroyed by floods and cyclones were being provided assistance of Rs 1.20 lakh under the Awas Yojana, adding that this amount was separate from the Rs 493 crore agricultural subsidy. The Chief Minister also said that families affected by fatalities caused by such disasters were being provided compensation of Rs 4 lakh within 24 hours. He added that instructions had been issued to provide houses under the Awas Yojana to families whose homes had been destroyed in floods or cyclones.

UP govt to raise monthly honorarium of 60,000 village watchmen by Rs 1,000
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 12 (IANS) The Uttar Pradesh government is set to increase the monthly honorarium of around 60,000 village watchmen, or gram praharis, by Rs 1,000, starting October 13. The proposed increase will raise their monthly honorarium from Rs 2,500 to Rs 3,500, marking a 40 per cent hike. Each village watchman will receive an additional Rs 12,000 annually following the increase. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is expected to announce the decision during an event in Bareilly on October 13. The Chief Minister is also scheduled to felicitate village watchmen at the Bareilly Police Lines during the programme. The move comes after the state government raised the honorarium of cooks, Anganwadi workers and panchayat assistants in recent months. The government is now preparing to provide financial relief to village watchmen, who form an important link in the rural policing and information network. Attached to local police stations, village watchmen relay information about suspicious activities, local disputes, and law-and-order issues to the police. They also help maintain communication between villages and police stations. They have been demanding an increase in their honorarium, and the proposed announcement is expected to address that demand. With an estimated 60,000 village watchmen across the state, the proposed hike is expected to impose an additional financial burden of around Rs 7 crore per month and Rs 84 crore annually on the state exchequer. Funds for the increase are likely to be provided for in a supplementary budget. The government has taken similar decisions to increase the earnings of other categories of workers receiving an honorarium or allowance. The monthly honorarium of around 3.53 lakh cooks preparing midday meals in government-run basic education schools has been increased from Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000. The honorarium of Anganwadi workers has been raised by Rs 4,000 per month, while that of Anganwadi helpers has been increased by Rs 2,000 per month. Similarly, the monthly honorarium of more than 57,000 panchayat assistants has been raised from Rs 6,000 to Rs 9,000. The daily allowance of Provincial Guards (Prantiya Rakshak Dal) volunteers has also been increased from Rs 500 to Rs 600. Separately, the government is considering increasing monthly pensions for senior citizens, destitute women and persons with disabilities from Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500. The proposal, which has received in-principle approval from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is likely to be placed before the state Cabinet in the second half of November. The schemes currently cover more than 67 lakh senior citizens, 42 lakh destitute women and 12 lakh persons with disabilities. If approved, beneficiaries would receive an additional Rs 6,000 annually.
Taking a swipe at Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over his 'vote chori' allegations, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Monday that time has come for the Congress to change its 'distrustful' leadership.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 12 (IANS) The second day of Shardiya Navaratri, dedicated to Maa Brahmacharini, began with prayers, devotion and faith across the nation, as devotees flocked to temples to offer prayers to Goddess Durga and seek blessings. On the second day of Navratri, devotees visited the renowned Jhandewalan Devi Temple in New Delhi and offered prayers to Maa Brahmacharini. Devotees waited patiently in long queues, hands joined, to catch a glimpse of the Goddess while temple workers applied tika on their foreheads. A priest in Jhandewalan temple said, Today is the second day of Brahmacharini, in Ashin Maash, of Shukla Paksha. Brahmacharini means tapasyarini. Maa Bhagwati did deep penance to attain Lord Shiva. Brahma means tapa, which means to bear pain, to have patience. If we want to attain something, we have to bear with sacrifice, bear pain, and conquer it, he told IANS. He added that wishes of people who worship Maa Brahmacharini are fulfilled. One of the devotees, Gitanjali, told IANS that she comes to the temple every year with her family. The experience was really good. This year too, despite the torrential rains and bad weather, we were able to come with Devi Maas blessings, Gitanjali said. Another devotee said, We wait for Navratri the entire year to seek the blessings of Mata Rani. Arrangements at the Jhandewalan temple are very good. It's smooth and quick. There is no chaos at all. In Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi, devotees gathered at the Maa Brahmacharini Devi Durga Temple in long queues in the early hours of the second day of Navaratri. One of the devotees, Munni, said that she has been visiting the temple for the last 25 years. Everyone comes here with devotion and faith in the Goddess. May our faith in the Goddess prevail forever. Another devotee, Renu, said, We come when Devi maa calls us. We pray for both their blessings and love. Shardiya Navratri 2026 Day 2 falls on Monday and is dedicated to Maa Brahmacharini, the second form of Goddess Durga.
