Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan moves to introduce VB-G RAM G Bill on rural employment in Lok Sabha

Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan introduced the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill, 2025, replacing MGNREGA and aiming to provide 125 days of guaranteed rural employment.

The Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Bill, 2025, that seeks to replace the existing rural employment law MGNREGA, was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday amid strong objections by the opposition to the "removal" of Mahatma Gandhi's name from it.
Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, while introducing the bill, said the government not only believes in Mahatma Gandhi but also follows his principles. "The (Narendra) Modi govt has done more for rural development than previous governments," he said.
Opposition members strongly opposed the proposed legislation at the introduction stage and pressed for sending the bill to a parliamentary panel for greater scrutiny. The MPs, including Priyanka Gandhi of the Congress, strongly objected to the "removal" of Mahatma Gandhi's name.
The opposition members also came to the Well of the House, holding up photographs of Mahatma Gandhi, expressing their disapproval of the "removal" of the name of the Father of the Nation.
According to a copy of the Bill, it will provide a statutory guarantee of 125 days of wage employment in a financial year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to undertake unskilled manual work.
Within six months from the date of commencement of the VB-G RAM G Act, states will have to make a scheme consistent with the provisions of the new law.
In a statement, the Rural Development Ministry said the proposed legislation will establish a modern statutory framework aligned with the goal of 'Viksit Bharat 2047'.
It said the Bill aims to create both employment and durable rural infrastructure through four priority verticals -- water security through water-related works, core rural infrastructure, livelihood-related infrastructure, and special works to mitigate extreme weather events.
All assets created are aggregated into the Viksit Bharat National Rural Infrastructure Stack, ensuring a unified, coordinated national development strategy, the statement said.
The ministry termed it a "major upgrade" over MGNREGA, fixing structural weaknesses while enhancing employment, transparency, planning, and accountability.

Ahead of West Bengal assembly elections, the Election Commission published the list of over 58 lakh deleted voters from the 2026 draft electoral rolls, citing absenteeism, duplicates, or deaths.

EC Removes 58 Lakh Voters from West Bengal Draft Electoral Rolls

Ahead of West Bengal assembly elections, the Election Commission published the list of over 58 lakh deleted voters from the 2026 draft electoral rolls, citing absenteeism, duplicates, or deaths.

The Election Commission (EC) on Tuesday published West Bengal's draft electoral rolls following SIR, with officials indicating that the names of more than 58 lakh voters have been deleted on various grounds, including death, migration and non-submission of enumeration forms.
After these deletions, the state's draft electoral rolls are expected to carry the names of 7,08,16,631 voters, 58,20,898 fewer than 7,66,37,529, which was the electorate before SIR, according to official data.
With assembly elections likely to be held in the state early next year, the draft rolls, along with a detailed, booth-wise list of deleted voters and reasons for deletion, have been made available on the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO), West Bengal website, the Election Commission's voter portal and the ECINET application.
A senior commission official said that the hearing process for affected voters would begin in about a week's time.
The gap between the publication of the draft rolls and the commencement of hearing will be on account of printing of hearing notices, serving those to the electors concerned and creating digital backup for the same on the EC database, the official said.
The publication comes after weeks of political anxiety and public uncertainty over the fate of voters during the SIR exercise, which began on November 4 and ended on December 11.
According to the commission, the list of deleted voters includes names that figured in the January 2025 electoral rolls but do not appear in the draft rolls post SIR.
The deletion list is accessible through a separate portal, enabling voters to check whether their own or family members' names have been removed and under which category.
Commission sources said the deletions primarily stem from what were termed "uncollectable SIR enumeration forms", which exceeded 58 lakh.
These cases involved voters who were found to be deceased, permanently shifted from their registered addresses, untraceable, or recorded as duplicate voters in more than one constituency.
A detailed breakup released by the CEO's office last week showed that 24,16,852 voters were marked as dead, 19,88,076 were found to have permanently shifted, and 12,20,038 were listed as missing or untraceable at their registered addresses.
Another 1.38 lakh voters were identified as having duplicate entries, while 1,83,328 names were flagged as so-called 'ghost' voters. In addition, more than 57,000 names were deleted under other complications detected during enumeration.
In all, 58,20,898 names were excluded from the draft rolls. After these deletions, the draft electoral roll is expected to carry the names of 7,08,16,631 voters across the state, according to official data.
The Election Commission stressed that deletion from the draft roll does not mark the end of the road for affected voters.
"Aggrieved persons can submit their claims in Form 6 along with the Declaration Form and supporting documents after publication of the draft roll during the period fixed for receiving claims and objections, from December 16, 2025, to January 15, 2026," an EC official said.
Special Roll Observer for West Bengal, former bureaucrat Subrata Gupta, sought to allay public fears, saying voters whose names do not figure in the draft list should not panic.
He noted that around 30 lakh voters whose details could not be matched with the 2002 electoral rolls would be called for hearings, where they would get an opportunity to produce documents and establish eligibility before a final decision is taken.
The draft rolls had begun appearing on the Booth Level Officer (BLO) application a day before their formal publication, a move that had already sparked intense political debate.
After Tuesday's release, the commission advised all voters to verify their names through online portals or offline by visiting their local BLOs.
Hard copies of the draft rolls will be available with BLOs at the booth level, and they have been asked to remain present at booths as far as possible on the day of publication.
Soft copies of the rolls will also be provided to representatives of the state's eight recognised political parties.
The publication of the draft rolls has sharpened political fault lines in the state.
Just after the release of draft rolls, the ruling TMC alleged a "joint conspiracy" by the BJP and the Election Commission, claiming that the prospect of "hearings for nearly two crore voters" amounted to an attempt to intimidate citizens and question their citizenship.
A senior TMC leader said every voter's rights would be protected and warned against what it described as a "coordinated effort to create fear".
The BJP dismissed the allegations, with Leader of the Opposition in the state assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, mocking the charge and remarking, "This is just the beginning. Breakfast has just begun. There will be lunch, tea and then dinner."
While he refrained from giving fresh numbers on deletions, Adhikari said he would speak after the final rolls are published on February 14, as per the commission's schedule.
The SIR process has also been accompanied by allegations of "SIR-related panic" following reports of deaths in parts of the state.
According to TMC, till now, 40 ordinary citizens, including four BLOs, have died due to SIR panic, including suicides.
The BJP has dismissed the claims of SIR-linked citizen deaths as "politically motivated", insisting that the ruling party was trying to "cash in on human tragedies".

The Congress claimed the Modi government’s “politically motivated prosecution” stands exposed after a Delhi court refused to take cognisance of the ED’s National Herald money laundering case against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi.

Court Dismisses ED Charges Against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in National Herald Case

The Congress claimed the Modi government&rsquo;s &ldquo;politically motivated prosecution&rdquo; stands exposed after a Delhi court refused to take cognisance of the ED&rsquo;s National Herald money laundering case against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi.

The Congress on Tuesday claimed the "illegality" of the Narendra Modi government and its "politically motivated prosecution stands fully exposed" after a court here refused to take cognisance of the Enforcement Directorate's National Herald money laundering case against Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and others.
In a statement, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said the ED's proceedings against Congress leadership -- Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi -- in the case have been found to be "completely illegal and mala fide" by the court.
"The mala fide and illegality of the Modi government stands fully exposed. The court has ruled that the ED case is without jurisdiction; it has no FIR, without which there is no case. This politically motivated prosecution by the Modi government over the last decade of the principal opposition party stands exposed before the people of India," she said.
"No case of money laundering, no proceeds of crime and no movement of property; all baseless charges that have been a part of a political witch hunt, propaganda, reputation assassination and campaign which stands defeated today," Shrinate said.
She said the Congress party and its leadership are committed to fighting for the truth and for the rights of every Indian. "We cannot, and will not ever be intimidated, because we fight for the truth," she added.
Party general secretary K C Venugopal said, "Through this judgment, the court has exposed the illegal and mala fide political targeting by the Narendra Modi government."
"From day one, the opposition, especially Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, has been targeted without any legal basis or wrongdoing. This judgment clearly vindicates our stand," he added.
Refusing to take cognisance of the federal probe agency's money laundering charge against Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, and five others in the National Herald case, the court noted that the chargesheet filed is based on a probe into a complaint by a private person and not on an FIR of a predicate offence.
Its cognisance is impermissible in law, the judge said.
Reading out the operative part from the order, the judge said the Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing has already lodged an FIR in the case, and hence it will be premature to adjudicate on ED's arguments in the case based on merits.
The ED has accused Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, as well as late party leaders Motilal Vora and Oscar Fernandes, along with Suman Dubey, Sam Pitroda, and a private company, Young Indian, of conspiracy and money laundering.
It has been alleged that they acquired properties worth approximately Rs 2,000 crore belonging to Associated Journals Limited (AJL), which publishes the National Herald newspaper.
The investigation agency further alleged that the Gandhis held the majority 76 per cent shares in Young Indian, which "fraudulently" usurped the assets of AJL in exchange for a Rs 90 crore loan.

Thirteen people died and 35 were injured after multiple vehicles, including seven buses, collided and caught fire in dense fog on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, early Tuesday.

Massive fire after multi-vehicle crash on Yamuna Expressway

Thirteen people died and 35 were injured after multiple vehicles, including seven buses, collided and caught fire in dense fog on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, early Tuesday.

Thirteen people died of burns, and 35 sustained injuries when a vehicle pile-up on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura early Tuesday sparked a big fire, a police officer said.
At least seven buses and three smaller vehicles collided with each other in the dense fog around 4.30 am, the officer said. The incident occurred under the Baldev Police Station jurisdiction.
"The vehicles collided due to low visibility on the Agra-to-Noida side of the Yamuna Expressway. Some vehicles also caught fire. All injured have been sent to the hospital," Mathura Senior Superintendent of Police Shlok Kumar said.
Two of the deceased were identified as 44-year-old Akhilendra Pratap Yadav, a resident of Prayagraj, and 75-year-old Rampal, from Maharajganj district, Baldev Police Station SHO Ranjana Sachan said. All 13 died of burns, she said.
Of the injured, fifteen were admitted to the district hospital, nine each to a community health centre and a private hospital in Baldev, and two to SN Medical College, Agra, Sachan said.
Visuals from the spot revealed charred remains of buses that caught fire. Cranes were called in to remove them from the road.
According to a Mathura Police statement on X, the pile-up at Milestone 127 involved seven buses and three smaller vehicles. "None of the injured are in critical condition," it said.
The passengers were sent to their destinations in government vehicles, the SSP said. Since the road is blocked, diversions have been made, he added.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, in a post on X in Hindi, expressed his condolences to the kin of the deceased.
"The loss of life in the road accident on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura district is extremely tragic and heartbreaking. My deepest condolences are with the bereaved families," he said.
"I have instructed the district administration officials to ensure proper treatment for the injured. I pray to Lord Ram to grant peace to the departed souls and a speedy recovery to the injured," Adityanath said.
According to a post from his office, Adityanath announced Rs 2 lakh each to the kin of the deceased, and Rs 50,000 each to the injured.
On Monday, fog led to the deaths of three people, two of them police officers, in two separate road accidents involving multiple vehicles in Haryana's Sonipat and Nuh districts.
In the Nuh pileup, two people, including a CISF Inspector, were killed on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway.
In Sonipat, a female assistant sub-inspector of police was killed when the car in which she was travelling for work hit a truck that was taking a wrong turn on the highway, police said.

A Delhi court refused to take cognisance of the ED’s money laundering charges against Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and others in the National Herald case, citing lack of a predicate offence FIR.

Following the death of SOG jawan Amjad Pathan in a gunfight with terrorists in Udhampur’s Soan village, security forces including police, army, and CRPF resumed operations to track the militants.

Security Operations Intensified in Udhampur After Deadly Encounter

Following the death of SOG jawan Amjad Pathan in a gunfight with terrorists in Udhampur&rsquo;s Soan village, security forces including police, army, and CRPF resumed operations to track the militants.

Security forces searched for terrorists in Udhampur on Tuesday, a day after a policeman was killed in a gunfight there, a police officer said.
During the encounter on Monday, one terrorist was believed to have been injured, while two policemen suffered minor bullet wounds. "The operation has been resumed in the area to track down the holed-up terrorists. The cordon has been further strengthened," the officer told PTI.
A joint team of the Special Operations Group (SOG) of police, along with the army and the CRPF, is on the job with sniffer dogs, the officer said.
On Monday, forces got locked in a gunfight with terrorists in Soan village of the Majalta area in Udhampur. The village was raided by the police on a tip-off about the presence of three terrorists, believed to be affiliated with the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) outfit.
The encounter took place in the besieged village around 6 pm and continued for some time, resulting in injuries to one SOG jawan, Amjad Pathan, son of Bashrat Khan. Pathan, a resident of Salva, Mendhar in Poonch district, later succumbed.
"A very small SOG team engaged the terrorists. Combing of the forest has been impeded due to darkness and treacherous terrain," IGP Jammu Bhim Sen Tuti said in a social media post.
Udhampur's Basantgarh lies on the route traditionally used by Pakistani terrorists to enter from the International Border in Kathua and move to Doda and Kishtwar districts in Jammu, and further into the Kashmir Valley. The area has witnessed several encounters and terror incidents in the past.
Pathan's body awaits a post-mortem, and once it has been done, a wreath-laying ceremony will be undertaken in Udhampur, the officer said.

AAP leaders, led by Isudan Gadhvi, will meet Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel to raise farmers’ issues, including abolishing price-cutting practices, MSP procurement, and compensation for crop losses.

AAP delegation to meet Gujarat CM, push 10-point farmers’ charter

AAP leaders, led by Isudan Gadhvi, will meet Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel to raise farmers&rsquo; issues, including abolishing price-cutting practices, MSP procurement, and compensation for crop losses.

An Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) delegation will meet Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel today to raise farmers&rsquo; issues and demands, party leaders announced.
Speaking to the media, AAP Gujarat President Isudan Gadhvi said that the BJP government has been consistently doing injustice to farmers, prompting AAP to launch a statewide agitation. &ldquo;Following our protests, the state government was forced to officially abolish the Kadada practice,&rdquo; he said.
Gadhvi highlighted that AAP has organised nine 'Kisan Mahapanchayats' across the state and conducted 'Kisan Nyay Panchayats' in over 8,000 villages spanning North Gujarat, Central Gujarat, and Saurashtra. To press for the party&rsquo;s 10-point charter of farmers&rsquo; demands, a signature campaign was carried out, during which party teams visited villages and talukas to collect endorsements. Over 80,000 farmers signed the petition in support of the 10 demands.
Isudan Gadhvi outlined the 10-point charter as follows:
- The &ldquo;price-cutting practice&rdquo; must be immediately abolished in all APMC markets, and violators should face jail.
- Farmers should not be forced to transport their produce to godowns or factories instead of APMC markets.
- Farmers and sharecroppers affected by unseasonal rains should be compensated ₹50,000 per hectare, with payments within one month, similar to Punjab.
- Dairy farmers should receive the price difference from all dairy unions directly into their bank accounts on time.
- Farmers should be provided 12 hours of free electricity daily.
- Police cases filed against farmers during the Haddad and Sabar Dairy agitations should be withdrawn, and imprisoned farmers released immediately.
- The government should procure all crops at Minimum Support Price (MSP).
- Adequate and timely availability of fertilisers should be ensured.
- Pending payments to sugarcane farmers by sugar mills should be cleared, and closed sugar mills restarted.
- Cotton procurement by the CCI should begin from October 1 instead of December.
Gadhvi said that AAP has sought an appointment with the Chief Minister regarding these demands and that he, along with party MLAs and the delegation, will meet the Chief Minister today at 12 noon to submit a formal representation. He also warned that if the BJP fails to act on these demands, the Aam Aadmi Party will launch a statewide agitation.

AAP leaders held Assembly workers’ meetings in Becharaji and Visnagar, reviewing organisational strategies and strengthening party presence across Gujarat ahead of upcoming elections.

AAP ramps up grassroots outreach in Gujarat ahead of elections

AAP leaders held Assembly workers&rsquo; meetings in Becharaji and Visnagar, reviewing organisational strategies and strengthening party presence across Gujarat ahead of upcoming elections.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is intensifying its grassroots outreach across Gujarat through initiatives such as 'Kisan Mahapanchayats,' 'Gujarat Jodo Jansabha,' 'Mohalla Sabhas,' Assembly workers&rsquo; meetings, and organisational gatherings in all corners of the state.
As part of this strategy, national and state leaders of AAP attended Assembly workers&rsquo; meetings in the Becharaji and Visnagar constituencies on Thursday. The meetings were conducted under the leadership of AAP State Co-Incharge Gulabsingh Yadav, State Organisation General Secretary Manoj Sorathiya, and North Zone In-charge Rajesh Sharma.
At the Becharaji meeting, senior leaders and office-bearers present included Lok Sabha In-charge Bharat Patel, Becharaji Assembly In-charge Ashok Thakor, and District Youth President Sanjay Thakor. In Visnagar, attendees included Assembly In-charge Uttam Patel, Assembly Co-Incharge Harshad Prajapati, State Organisation Secretary Narendra Prajapati, Taluka In-charge Pravin Thakor, and Visnagar City President Sanjay Patel, alongside other national and state leaders. Local office-bearers and a large number of party workers were present at both gatherings.
During the meetings, AAP State Co-Incharge Gulabsingh Yadav, State Organisation General Secretary Manoj Sorathiya, and North Zone In-charge Rajesh Sharma reviewed ongoing party work in both constituencies. They provided guidance to workers with a focus on the upcoming elections and outlined organisational strategies to strengthen the party at the grassroots level.
&ldquo;The party&rsquo;s expanding footprint in Becharaji and Visnagar, as well as across North Gujarat, clearly indicates that the Aam Aadmi Party is poised to achieve historic results in these Assembly constituencies in the elections to be held in the coming period,&rdquo; the party said.
The meetings underscore AAP&rsquo;s efforts to consolidate its presence in key constituencies and mobilise party workers ahead of future elections in Gujarat.

AAP MLA Chaitar Vasava announced a visit to Paldiya village near Ambaji on December 17 to assess a violent land dispute incident where police used tear gas and locals were injured.

AAP MLA Chaitar Vasava to visit Paldiya village in Gujarat after violent land dispute

AAP MLA Chaitar Vasava announced a visit to Paldiya village near Ambaji on December 17 to assess a violent land dispute incident where police used tear gas and locals were injured.

A violent incident was reported from Paldiya village near Ambaji in Banaskantha district following a dispute related to land, officials said.&nbsp;
The situation escalated into violence, during which police used tear gas. Several local residents sustained injuries in the incident.
In the aftermath, Aam Aadmi Party&rsquo;s Dediapada MLA Chaitar Vasava announced that he would visit Paldiya village on December 17 along with leaders of tribal organisations and a legal team to assess the situation.
Speaking to the media, Vasava said information related to the incident had been collected and a visit was planned to understand the matter in detail.&nbsp;
He said AAP office-bearers, the party&rsquo;s legal team and representatives of tribal organisations would assemble at 10:30 am after offering prayers at Ambaji Mata and then proceed from Gabbar Parvat to Paldiya village.
Vasava said the purpose of the visit was to determine the root cause of the violence, including who initiated it, why it occurred and why legal action was taken only against members of the tribal community. He also questioned why no action was taken against those who allegedly carried out the lathi-charge, fired tear gas shells and resorted to firing. He further questioned the need for police and forest department officials to conduct a lathi-charge, use tear gas shells and fire nearly 50 rounds.
According to Vasava, the delegation, along with representatives of tribal organisations and the legal team, will visit the village to ascertain the facts surrounding the incident. He added that after understanding the ground situation, discussions would be held on protecting the rights of the tribal community and on steps to prevent such incidents in the future.

Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra, co-owners of the Goa nightclub where 25 died, arrive in Delhi from Thailand for further investigation and transit remand.

Goa nightclub fire accused Saurabh, Gaurav Luthra arrive in Delhi

Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra, co-owners of the Goa nightclub where 25 died, arrive in Delhi from Thailand for further investigation and transit remand.

Gaurav Luthra and Saurabh Luthra, co-owners of the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in Goa where a massive fire killed 25 people, were deported from Thailand on Tuesday and taken into custody by Delhi and Goa police as soon as they landed in Delhi.
The brothers arrived in the Indian capital in an Indigo flight and were immediately handed over to authorities for further legal proceedings, 10 days after a blaze tore through the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in Arpora in North Goa.
Gaurav, 44 and Saurabh, 40, will be produced before a Delhi court where the Goa police will seek their transit remand.
A TV reporter tracking the brothers from Bangkok attempted to shoot inside the aircraft, prompting the airlines and accompanying security officials to summon additional force to whisk away the two men.
The Luthra brothers are facing a case of culpable homicide and negligence following the December 6 tragedy, which investigators allege was compounded by the nightclub operating in violation of mandatory fire safety norms.
The incident raised serious questions over alleged fire safety violations and lapses by the management.
Gaurav and Saurabh fled to Phuket in the early hours of December 7, hours after the fire at their nightclub, prompting the authorities to issue an Interpol Blue Corner Notice and cancel their passports.
The duo was detained by Thai authorities at Phuket on December 11 following a request from the Indian government which later coordinated with officials in Thailand to deport them under legal treaties between the two nations.
On December 11, a Delhi court rejected the transit anticipatory bail pleas.
Additional Sessions Judge Vandana termed the allegations against the brothers "prima facie grave and serious" and severely criticised their "conduct."
The court took note of the police investigation that the brothers had booked tickets to Phuket one hour after the fire, a fact their counsel had initially "concealed" while seeking protection from immediate arrest.
The judge said that leaving immediately after the tragedy was a clear attempt to "evade the legal process".
Observing that "someone has to be held accountable" for the tragedy, the Goa bench of the Bombay High Court on Monday converted a civil suit against the nightclub into a public interest litigation (PIL).

A signature campaign was also conducted in villages and talukas across the state in support of farmers&rsquo; demands, during which more than 80,000 farmers signed the memorandum.
The delegation was led by Gujarat State President Isudan Gadhvi and included AAP leaders and MLAs Gopal Italia and Chaitar Vasava, State Organisation General Secretary Manoj Sorathiya and other senior leaders.
Speaking to the media, Isudan Gadhvi said that the party has been raising farmers&rsquo; issues through various &lsquo;Jansabhas&rsquo; and &lsquo;Kisan Panchayats&rsquo; for several days. He said that after AAP announced a Kisan Helpline number, complaints were received from farmers from more than 400 APMCs. He added that issues ranging from the &ldquo;price-cutting practice&rdquo; to other concerns were highlighted through Kisan Mahapanchayats across the state and &lsquo;Kisan Nyay Panchayats&rsquo; in 8,000 villages. Gadhvi said that through the signature campaign, over 80,000 farmers expressed support for the party&rsquo;s 11-point charter of demands.
He said that the delegation, which includes Gopal Italia, Chaitar Vasava, Manoj Sorathiya and other leaders, will apprise the Chief Minister of the 11 demands along with the signed memorandum submitted by farmers.
Detailing the demands, Gadhvi said the first demand is the immediate abolition of the &ldquo;price-cutting practice&rdquo; in all markets, with strict imprisonment for those involved. The second demand is that farmers should not be forced to transport their produce to godowns or factories instead of APMC markets.&nbsp;
The third demand seeks compensation of ₹50,000 per hectare for farmers and sharecroppers whose crops were damaged by unseasonal rains, on the lines of the Punjab government, with payment within one month.
The fourth demand calls for dairy farmers to receive the price difference from all dairy unions directly into their bank accounts in a timely manner. The fifth demand is for 12 hours of free electricity daily for farmers. The sixth demand seeks withdrawal of police cases filed against farmers during the Haddad incident and the Sabar Dairy agitation, along with the immediate release of jailed farmers.
The seventh demand is that the government should procure all crops at MSP (Minimum Support Price). The eighth demand seeks adequate and timely availability of fertilisers. The ninth demand calls for clearance of pending payments to sugarcane farmers by sugar mills and the reopening of closed sugar mills. The tenth demand is that cotton procurement by the CCI should begin from October 1 instead of December. The eleventh demand relates to compensation for farmers affected by the installation of high-tension power lines across Gujarat, which the party said remains inadequate.
Gadhvi said the issues would be formally presented to the Chief Minister and expressed confidence that positive decisions would be taken. He also said that if the demands are not accepted in the coming days, the Aam Aadmi Party will launch a mass public agitation.

PM Modi invites Jordanian companies to invest in India, earn good returns

Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Jordanian companies to invest in India, citing over 8 per cent growth, long-term partnership opportunities and expanding sectors at the India-Jordan Business Forum.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday invited Jordanian companies to invest in India, saying they can look forward to good returns on their investments as the country is growing at over 8 per cent.
Speaking at the India-Jordan Business Forum meet in Amman, Modi said India is soon going to become the third-largest economy in the world, and presents opportunities for Jordanian companies to become part of the growth story.
He said India's high GDP numbers are due to productivity-driven governance and innovation-led growth policies.
Modi said numbers are important in the universe of business, but he has come to Jordan to build a long-term relationship between the two nations.
"The relationship between India and Jordan is one where historical trust and future economic opportunities come together," he noted.
India is growing at a fast pace, and new doors of opportunities are opening for Jordanian companies as well, the Prime Minister emphasised.
"You (Jordan) can become a partner in India's high growth and earn good returns on your investments," he said.
Indian companies in Jordan can manufacture medicines and medical devices. This will benefit the people of Jordan, and the country can also become a reliable hub for West Asia and Africa, he added.
While highlighting potential sectors of bilateral cooperation, Modi said India has a lot of experience in farming in dry climates.
"This experience of ours can make a real difference in Jordan. We can work on solutions like precision farming and micro-irrigation. We can also collaborate on building cold chains, food parks, and storage facilities," he said.
Modi arrived in Jordan's capital, Amman, on Monday on a two-day visit at the invitation of King Abdullah II.
Jordan is the first leg of the Prime Minister's four-day, three-nation tour, which will also take him to Ethiopia and Oman.

The Sabka Bima Sabki Raksha (Amendment of Insurance Laws) Bill, 2025, was introduced in Lok Sabha to raise FDI in the insurance sector to 100%, amid strong opposition protests.

Govt introduces bill in Lok Sabha to hike FDI in insurance sector to 100 per cent

The Sabka Bima Sabki Raksha (Amendment of Insurance Laws) Bill, 2025, was introduced in Lok Sabha to raise FDI in the insurance sector to 100%, amid strong opposition protests.

A bill seeking to raise FDI in the insurance sector to 100 per cent was on Tuesday introduced in the Lok Sabha amid strong protest from the Opposition.
The Sabka Bima Sabki Raksha (Amendment of Insurance Laws) Act, 2025, seeks to amend Insurance Act, 1938, Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956, and Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999, as per the bill circulated to members of Parliament.
Introducing the bill, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the common people's insurance has always been the focus of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government has provided insurance to the marginal sections of the society even during the Covid pandemic.
Sitharaman said objections of some of the Opposition members could be part of the debate and she was ready to answer all their questions during the debate on the proposed legislation.
Opposing the introduction of the bill, RSP member N K Premachandran said the nomenclature of the bill has nothing to do with its contents. He also opposed the proposal to allow 100 per cent FDI in the insurance sector.
DMK member T Sumathy too strongly opposed 100 per cent FDI in the sector.
TMC member Saugata Roy said the name of the bill looks like the slogans of the ruling coalition and such names should not be part of any bill. He said allowing 100 per cent FDI will be a backward step in the insurance sector.
According to the draft bill, the amendment will raise Foreign Direct Investment limit in the insurance sector from 74 per cent to 100 per cent.
Though the bill proposes to hike FDI in the sector, one of the top officials &mdash; Chairman, Managing Director, or CEO &mdash; must be an Indian citizen. It also paves the way for the merger of a non-insurance company with an insurance company.
The bill received the Union Cabinet's nod on Friday, paving the way for its introduction in Parliament.
The bill further aims to accelerate the growth and development of the insurance sector and to ensure better protection of policyholders, as per the statement of objects and reasons.
It provides for the establishment of the Policyholders' Education and Protection Fund to protect policyholders' interests.
It would also improve the ease of doing business for insurance companies, intermediaries, and other stakeholders, bring transparency to regulation-making, and enhance regulatory oversight over the sector.
With regard to the term of office of the Chairperson and other whole-time members, the bill provides for a five-year term or until they attain the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier. At present, the upper age limit for whole-time members is 62 years, while for the Chairman it is 65 years.
Sitharaman, in this year's Budget speech, proposed to raise FDI limit to 100 per cent from the existing 74 per cent in the insurance sector as part of new-generation financial sector reforms. So far, the insurance sector has attracted Rs 82,000 crore through FDI.
The amendments to the LIC Act propose empowering its board to take operational decisions, such as branch expansion and recruitment.
The proposed amendment primarily focuses on promoting policyholders' interests, enhancing their financial security, and facilitating the entry of additional players into the insurance market, thereby driving economic growth and employment generation.
