On Sunday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi for rejecting assistance from the Central government, alleging that they were afraid of giving Prime Minister Narendra Modi credit for any developmental achievements. Speaking at an election rally in Rajendra Nagar, he pointed out that while the national economy has thrived under Modi’s leadership, Delhi has lagged due to the reluctance of its government to embrace support from the Centre.Singh highlighted that despite the substantial growth of the Indian economy since the Modi administration took office, the BJP has had limited opportunities to effectively serve the people of Delhi. He noted that India has progressed from being the 11th largest economy in 2014 to the fifth largest today, attributing this success to BJP leadership.

“When the nation is advancing, why should Delhi remain stagnant?” he questioned, asserting that the AAP’s refusal to accept Central assistance is motivated by the fear that Modi would gain recognition for any positive developments in the capital.

The Defence Minister also directed his criticism at Arvind Kejriwal, accusing him of failing to honor his promises. He referenced Kejriwal’s role in the India Against Corruption movement and claimed that despite objections from Anna Hazare, Kejriwal formed a political party, thus betraying the anti-corruption cause.

Singh further condemned Kejriwal for not resigning during his arrest related to the liquor policy case, asserting that he has not upheld the principles he once championed.

He also questioned Congress’s relevance in Delhi’s political landscape, recalling Rahul Gandhi’s previous statement about never compromising with the BJP. “Did anyone ask him to compromise with us?” Singh inquired.

Additionally, Singh criticized Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for his controversial comments regarding the Maha Kumbh, questioning whether such statements would be acceptable if directed at other religions.

Assuring voters, Singh stated that if the BJP were to take power, they would continue all welfare schemes initiated by the AAP in Delhi. He urged residents to consider giving the BJP a chance to govern, arguing that under AAP leadership, Delhi has not achieved the development it deserves.

As the Delhi Assembly elections approach on February 5, Singh called on citizens to view the BJP as the superior choice, promising a government dedicated to progress and welfare. The results will be announced on February 8.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
