Horoscope: Virgo To Meet Close Friends; Libra To Move Forward Despits Problems

PM Modi asserted that the MVA would scrap welfare and development schemes brought out by the Eknath Shinde-led Mahayuti government in the state.

PM Modi, who started his poll campaign from tribal dominated Dhule, said Maharashtra trusts the NDA and will vote for the Mahayuti alliance in the upcoming elections.

“I appeal to you to vote for the Mahayuti so that it will take the progress of Maharashtra to new heights in the next five years. Only the Mahayuti government can provide the good governance that Maharashtra needs.

“On the other hand, the Maha Vikas Aghadi vehicle has neither wheels nor brakes and there is a fight even for sitting on the driver's seat. The Mahayuti government, which has taken several decisions to speed up development, will continue to boost the state’s growth and also promote the development of various sections. But be aware of the Congress and Maha Vikas Aghadi which are against development and bent on putting brakes on the state’s growth,” said the Prime Minister.

He praised the Mahayuti government’s ‘Vachannama (manifesto)’ comprising 10 guarantees covering various sections and claimed that it is being discussed across the country.

“Everyone has their own goal when they enter politics. People like us consider the public as a form of god and have come into politics to serve the people. Whereas for some people the basis of their politics is to 'rob people'. When people like Maha Vikas Aghadi, who have the intention of looting people, come to power, they stop development and indulge in corruption in every scheme,” claimed the Prime Minister.

However, he said that the Mahayuti government has restored Maharashtra's pride and glory while marching on the development path.

The Prime Minister slammed the Congress party for hatching a conspiracy to divide the SCs, STs and OBCs by pitting various castes against each other as the grand old party never desires these communities to develop and progress.

However, he gave a call to remain united and foil the Congress party’s game plan to divide castes.

“Ek hain to safe hain (If you are united you are safe). We have to remain united and foil the dangerous game of Congress and keep moving ahead on the path of development,” he said, amid slogans raised by the people at the rally.

“A dangerous game of pitting one caste against another is being played by the Congress. And this game is being played because the Congress can never see the Dalits, Backward Classes and tribals progressing. This is the history of the Congress,” he said.

The Prime Minister also lashed out at the Congress and the INDIA bloc for the reinstatement of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir while referring to the passage of a resolution in the Assembly there.

“Don’t spearhead Pakistan’s agenda. Don’t speak the language of terrorists. You (Congress and INDIA bloc) will not succeed in your plan till Modi is here,” he warned.

He strongly defended the Centre’s move to abrogate Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and thereby implement the BR Ambedkar-penned Constitution there.

“Both the CO2 capture plant and the CO2-to-methanol plant are the first of their kind in the world, marking a historic step in carbon management and sustainable fuel production,” NTPC Chairman Gurdeep Singh said at the power major’s 50th Raising Day celebration.

The company has also developed and tested ‘first indigenous catalyst’ for Methanol Synthesis and made substantial progress with hydrogen, carbon capture, and other innovative technologies, underscoring its commitment to building an environmentally sustainable future.

During the occasion, CMD NTPC virtually launched the Hydrogen-fuel buses which are set to operate at Leh. The hydrogen buses represent a significant leap in NTPC's commitment to advancing clean and green technologies.

A 'speed governance' device will be fixed in each 'Mo Bus' and only licensed drivers will drive the vehicles. The speed of the "Mo Bus' will not be more than 40 km per hour within the city area and 50 km outside the cities.

Drunken driving will not be allowed. Thus each driver will be checked before embarking and after getting off the bus to know if he is drunk. This will be implemented very soon, said Commerce and Transport Minister Krushna Chandra Patra.

Notably, the 'Mo Bus' service is managed by the Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT), a government-supported body. The Mu Buses are often seen running at high speed and causing accidents.
What is disturbing is the CRUT has not paid compensation to any accident victims so far. CRUT officials don't even visit the victims.

While people depend on the Mo Bus service for an affordable city ride, no eye-catching steps have been taken to check harassment within the bus and accidents so far. The new government guidelines, if implemented, will greatly check accidents, opined many.
