Raj CM Hails Modi’s 11-Year Tenure as a Period of Remarkable Growth; State Secures ₹2.11 Lakh Crore Since 2014
During a press conference at the BJP state headquarters on Tuesday, the CM highlighted the government’s commitment to the principle of “Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas.” Under Modi’s visionary leadership, states have been supported generously to enhance development and achieve the ambitious goal of making India the world’s leading economic power by 2047.
Sharma emphasized the need for balanced growth across all sectors, aiming for comprehensive progress while promoting India’s rich cultural and religious heritage. He noted that addressing hunger has been a top priority, reflecting on a time when millions went to bed hungry.
Over time, initiatives like the PM Gareeb Kalyan Ann Yojana have transformed this reality, providing free food grains to 81 crore individuals nationwide, including 4.5 crore beneficiaries from Rajasthan. Additionally, under the PM Awas Yojana, 23 lakh residents received housing, and 9,06,000 women benefited from the Lakhpati Didi Yojana.
The CM also mentioned that 76 lakh farmers are enrolled in the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, while 1.16 crore people benefit from the Aayushman Jan Aushadhi Yojana, and 74 lakh households receive free cooking gas under the Ujjwala Yojana in Rajasthan.
Moreover, Sharma pointed out that the government’s achievements extend beyond material progress, with significant advancements in the religious and cultural domains. He cited the construction of the grand Ram Mandir at Ayodhya, the Kashi Vishwanath Mandir Corridor, the impressive Mahakal Corridor in Ujjain, and the opening of the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor for Sikh pilgrims as notable accomplishments.
He also acknowledged the enactment of the Waqf (Board) Amendment Act and its related reforms. Sharma further asserted, “In these transformative 11 years, Prime Minister Modi has reshaped the country’s destiny, establishing India as an emerging global power whose voice resonates on the world stage.”
New Delhi: An 18-year-old MBBS student has accused a 20-year-old male friend of drugging and sexually assaulting her at a hotel in Delhi’s Adarsh Nagar area. The alleged incident took place on September 9, police officials said.
According to the complaint, the accused, who is also a medical student, invited the woman to “Hotel Apple” on the pretext of spending time together. Once there, he allegedly gave her a drink laced with drugs and then raped her.
The survivor told police that the accused recorded obscene videos and took pictures during the assault. He later threatened to make the content viral if she reported the incident.
The woman, a native of Jind in Haryana, is currently staying at the hostel of Baba Saheb Ambedkar Medical College in Rohini, Delhi.
Based on her complaint, police have registered a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. A search is underway to locate and arrest the accused, officials added.
In a separate case earlier this month, a school manager in Uttar Pradesh was arrested for allegedly raping a Class 8 student. In February, a tuition teacher in Delhi’s CR Park area was accused of repeatedly raping a 15-year-old student over three years and threatening her with blackmail.
Jaipur: Eight patients died after a fire broke out at the trauma centre of the state-run Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital in Jaipur late Sunday night.
Officials said the blaze started in the storage area of the Neuro ICU, possibly due to a short circuit. There were 11 patients in the ICU at the time. Smoke quickly spread, causing panic among patients and staff.
Hospital workers and attendants tried to rescue patients, even moving them out on their beds. Firefighters controlled the blaze in about two hours.
Families of the victims alleged that hospital staff ignored early warnings about smoke and fled during the fire.
Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and other ministers visited the hospital to review the situation and assured a detailed probe into the incident.
Uttar Pradesh: A 75-year-old man who remarried in search of companionship died barely hours after his wedding, sparking shock and speculation in his village.
The deceased, identified as Sangruram, a resident of Kuchhmuchh village in Jaunpur district, had been living alone after losing his first wife a year ago. With no children, he supported himself through farming. Despite advice from relatives against remarriage, Sangruram wed 35-year-old Manbhavati, a resident of Jalalpur area, on Monday, September 29.
The marriage was first registered in court, followed by traditional rituals at a local temple. According to Manbhavati, the couple spent most of the wedding night conversing, as Sangruram assured her that she would take responsibility for the household while he would “take care of the children.”
However, by the next morning, his health deteriorated suddenly. He was rushed to hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
The unexpected death has triggered varied reactions in the village. While some residents believe it to be a natural occurrence given his age, others have expressed suspicion about the circumstances.
Relatives, including nephews residing in Delhi, have halted funeral rites until their arrival. They have also raised questions about whether a police inquiry or post-mortem examination will be conducted before the cremation.
Authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding further investigation.
