Govt legal, firm in saddle and will complete term: Fadnavis

Our Government was formed

As Per

Constitutional norms and rules, Deputy CM said

First India Bureau already working there by connecting with the grassroots. There are 26 seats in the second list, where the path to victory is not easy for the party just because of the MP.

Based on this survey,

BJP has ranked its sitting MPs in a table of 1 to 10.

The current 42 saffron MPs are those who have got above 8 marks, they have been kept in the category of ‘excellent’. There are 13 MPs, who have barely been able to score two points for themselves. But look at the surprising thing, an MP from Jharkhand has got only 0.9 marks and an MP from Jhabua is being told to be at the bottom of this table. Sources reveal that he has got the lowest 0.6 marks. It has become clear from the results of this survey that ‘125 to 145 sitting BJP MPs may be denied tickets in the coming general elections’.

UNION CABINET MAY BE RESHUFFLED BEFORE FEBRUARY 22, SAY SOURCES

This will probably be the last reshuffle of the Modi Cabinet. Sources reveal that the BJP high command has finalised the list of ‘which ministers are to be dropped and which new faces are to join the Union Cabinet.’ It is believed that in the Cabinet meeting convened on February 22 many new faces can be seen. All the ministers have been informed about why the Cabinet meeting on 22nd is so important and they have been asked to remain in Delhi on 22nd. Now Narendra Modi and Amit Shah will decide whether the reshuffle will be like the ‘Gujarat Model’ or some other formula will be adopted.

A FEMALE MP PUTS PARTY IN A SPOT!

There are discussions everywhere about a female MP, who has a high influence in the political corridors of Delhi, who has given leave to all the leaders of Delhi BJP and has hoisted the flag of her supremacy in NDMC. The NDMC had allowed four restaurants to run on its land opposite Bhikaji Cama Place in New Delhi for several years on a very nominal lease guarantee. The demand of some time and some luck of these restaurant owners paid off that these days the craze among the youth of these restaurants has increased and every evening a huge crowd of youth gathers here. It goes without saying that this made the restaurant owner’s pockets ‘full of silver’. This MP says that ‘these restaurant owners were making huge profits, but were paying a very meagre amount to NDMC in the name of lease guarantee, while the opposing camp says that ‘the MP hastily got the licenses of the four restaurants cancelled just because she had to oblige some restaurateurs of their choice.’ The matter has gained so much momentum that now the BJP top has to intervene in it.

SANGH’S ‘PRATINIDHI SABHA’ IN HARYANA TO BE HELD IN MARCH

The three-day Pratinidhi Sabha of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh is being held at Samalkha in Sonipat district of Haryana from March 12 to 14, in which about 2,000 important representatives associated with all the affiliated organisations of the Sangh will participate. This meeting is also considered important from the point of view that ‘Assembly elections are being held in three states of the North-East right now. After this, assembly elections are to be held in six other states and the general election of 2024 is also just knocking at the door. Sangh Chief Mohan Bhagwat has been giving statements on many important issues for the past several times, moving away from the accepted and traditional ideology of the Sangh. In this regard, his address to the office bearers of the union on March 14 is also considered very important.

‘THE INDIAN METROPOLIS’: VARUN’S NEW BOOK

Nashik: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said the Eknath Shinde-BJP government was legitimate and will remain in power, remarks viewed as a swipe at the Uddhav Thacekray-led Shiv Sena faction which has been predicting its collapse.

He said the government, which came to power in June 2022, was formed as per Constitutional norms and rules.

Addressing the state BJP executive in Nashik city in north Maharashtra, Fadnavis said he was confident that the Supreme Court will rule in “our” favour, a reference to the disqualification plea filed by the Shiv Sena (UBT) faction against 16 MLAs of the Eknath Shinde-led group.

Aflamboyant scion of the Gandhi family, Varun, a poet by nature and scholar by hobby, was finalising the presentation of his ambitious book ‘The Indian Metropolis’ on urbanisation, as Gandhi’s elder brother Rahul walked 3,600 km to ‘Unite India’. The 824page mammoth book hit the market as soon as it arrived and went on to become a ‘best seller’ with much fanfare like its predecessors. Rupa Publications, which published this book for Rs 1,500, claims that ‘this book broke all sales records as soon as it came in the market’.

The book has sold more than 7,000 copies in the first two days itself.’ The publisher claims that ‘their first print run is of one lakh copies.’ The publisher also says that ‘they plan to achieve this target of sales easily as this book has created a huge ‘hype’ as soon as it came out.’ Varun has discussed in great detail the various forms of urbanization and their challenges in this ambitious book. In this research book contained in eight chapters, important issues like water and sanitation, crime in the city, health system, urban transport, urban unemployment, accessible housing for all have been deeply investigated.

After the completion of the first phase of Bharat Jodo Yatra, Priyanka Gandhi had outlined 24 women-centric programmes under the ‘Haath Se Haath Jodo Campaign’. The campaign focused on issues related to half of the population i.e. women. But Rahul Gandhi’s office wanted that ‘Rahul should be invited to programmes, where a crowd of more than 10,000 can gather, otherwise, Priyanka can continue with her programme.’ There is still confusion regarding this.

PM’s visit to Maha should be celebrated: Fadnavis

Mumbai: A 38-year-old man has been arrested by Mumbai Police almost 15 years after he was on the run. The fugitive has been identified through his gold-plated teeth and had been living in Gujarat’s Kutch to avoid getting caught.

“He has been identified as Pravin Ashubha Jadeja aka Pravin Singh aka Pradeep Singh Ashubha Jadeja…and was charged with cheating and misleading the police.

The accused jumped bail after being arrested and didn’t appear in court again. Hence the court declared him a fugitive. The man was working as a cloth salesman in a shop in 2007.

This message is being spread so that the remaining 10-15 MLAs (in the Thackeray-led Shiv Sena camp) don’t defect. Whatever we have done is as per the rules and adhering to the Constitution. Our government is not of ‘gaddars’ (traitors) but of ‘khuddars’ (self-respecting people).

Uddhav Thackeray faction, the senior BJP leader refuted the criticism that the government was illegal and that many members (of Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde) will be disqualified (by the apex court).

“This message is be-

Fadnavis said. He said that Maha Vikas Aghadi’s rule (from November 2019 to June 2022) was marked by corruption and that no efforts were made for the development of the state.

“There was not a single development project,” he said.

Mumbai (FIB): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has visited Mumbai twice in the last 20 days. The opposition is criticizing that Narendra Modi is coming to Mumbai keeping in mind the Mumbai municipal elections. BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has responded to this criticism. “People who cannot do anything in their life, criticize others. If Narendra Modi is coming to Maharashtra then the people here should celebrate. Because when he comes here, he always bring something or the other,” Fadnavis said on Saturday. Responding to criticism of PM Modi’s visit to Mumbai, Devendra Fadnavis said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has only one mission, that is ‘Mission India’... For Mission India, he travels across the country. I think only those people criticize it who have not done anything in their lifetime,” Fadnavis replied.

Shinde steps in as buildings near Navi Mumbai airport face danger

He allegedly misled the shop owner and police by informing them that the money he was supposed to collect from a merchant was stolen. The search investigation started again and upon asking Pravin’s associates, cops found him in Kutch’s Sabhrai village. “The police acted as LIC agents and called Pravin to Mumbai. After confirmation, accused was arrested,” the official added.

First India Bureau Navi Mumbai: CM Eknath Shinde responded to NGO NatConnect’s complaint as residents of sectors 11 and 15 in Belapur alleged they are facing danger to their buildings due to blasts at the under-construction airport at the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA). The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) forwarded NGO NatConnect’s complaint to the Urban Development Department directing it to look into the issue.

Meanwhile, Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) chief Rajesh Narvekar has also reacted by asking his senior officials to check.

NatConnect Foundation, which received several calls from people seeking help, had sent an SOS to Shinde calling for high-level intervention and measures to ensure that the intensity and frequency of blasts are reduced.

Narvekar sent a mail to the city engineer, planning department and Deputy Commissioner -Zone-1. “Blasts for flattening rocky hills have not only caused huge cracks in several buildings but created air pollution due to the dust clouds,” said Rohit Agarwal of Arenja Cooperative Housing Society.
