Congress will be wiped out in 2012 polls: Narendra Modi

June 10, 2012

Congress_Crushed_out_2013 Rajkot, June 10: Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the UPA govt and said that the Congress will be wiped out in the 2012 assembly elections. Modi said he was optimistic about winning the assembly elections due in the state.

Addressing the state executive meeting, Narendra Modi also hinted at change at the Centre and said the people of the country were fed up with the UPA govt.

Taking a dig at the UPA, Gujarat chief minister said the Manmohan Singh govt had not realised that their boat was sinking.

Targeting the Congress over corruption, Modi said the compulsions of coalition politics was preventing the party from acting against corruption.

He said the rupee had been devalued not due to the weakness in the economy but due to UPA's corruption.

There were reports of anti-modi protests outside the meeting venue. According to Times Now, police arrested pro-Sanjay Joshi protesters who were shouting slogans against the chief minister.

Meanwhile, the poster war within the BJP continued on Sunday with more pro-Sanjay Joshi posters and others apparently targeting Narendra Modi appearing in various parts of Rajkot city.

Reflecting a deep divide within the BJP on Sanjay Joshi's exit from the party, this is the third time after Joshi's unceremonious exit from the BJP's National Executive that posters have appeared in Gujarat in support of Joshi.

The posters that came up on Sunday near the venue of state BJP executive meeting venue at Atmiya college campus here said "Sanjay Joshi aage badho, hum tumhare saath hai" (Sanjay Joshi go ahead, we are with you).

Few posters targeting Modi also appeared in the city which read "Follow Raj dharma, and party dharma".

Though Modi's name was not mentioned on the posters, they were apparently targeted at the chief minister, as former Prime Minister A B Vajpayee had advised him to follow 'Raj dharma' after the 2002 riots.

Earlier, posters supporting Joshi and targeting Modi appeared in Ahmedabad a couple of times.

Baffled over the source of the posters, the BJP started an inquiry, but has not able to find out culprit so far.

Joshi, who was first removed from the BJP national executive meet, had quit the party last Friday.

He had reportedly told that he had quit the party due to "pressure being exerted on party leadership by Modi".

Walking from Delhi to MP, man dies in Agra amid lockdown

Agencies

March 29,2020

Agra, Mar 29: A 39-year-old man, who had walked almost 200 kilometers from Delhi to reach his home in Morena in Madhya Pradesh, collapsed and died in Agra on Saturday.

The man, identified as Ranveer Singh, worked as home delivery boy for a private restaurant in the national capital.

According to police, the victim collapsed near Kailash turning of the national highway-2, after which a local hardware store owner Sanjay Gupta rushed to the victim.

Sikandra station house officer (SHO) Arvind Kumar, said, 'Gupta made the victim lie on a carpet and offered tea and biscuit. The victim complained about chest pain and also called his brother-in-law Arvind Singh over phone to share his health condition. At around 6.30 P.m, the victim passed away and local police was informed. "

Ranveer had left for his native village on Friday morning on foot. It is likely that exhaustion of 200-km walk might have caused chest pain.

The SHO said,"On the entire NH-2 stretch, UP policemen are present with food packets and water for such persons but Ranveer's death is unfortunate. "

After the death, policemen took the victim's body for post-mortem. The autopsy report is yet to be re eased.

According to information available, Ranveer was working in Delhi's Tughlakabad for the past three- years. He is survived by three children including two daughters. He belongs to a family of farmers and was the main bread winner for his family.

His family has been brought to Agra to take the body back to their village for the last rites.

COVID-19 fallout: Healthcare facilities in India witnesses 80% fall in revenue

Agencies

May 30,2020

New Delhi, May 30: The COVID-19 pandemic has left the Indian private healthcare sector in acute financial distress, a new survey said on Friday adding that the healthcare facilities in the country have witnessed at least 80 per cent fall in average revenue.

Post the lockdown from March 24, Indian hospitals have seen a large impact, especially among small and medium-sized hospitals, which are now facing existential challenges.

The survey by healthcare industry body NATHEALTH was conducted in 251 healthcare facilities across nine states and 69 cities to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the domestic healthcare industry.

The findings showed that 90 per cent of the surveyed healthcare facilities are facing financial challenges with 21 per cent facilities facing an existential threat.

"There is a need for a stimulus package to revive the Indian healthcare industry which will be crucial to provide much-needed relief to the healthcare sector which is the frontline defence in this fight against COVID-19," said Dr Sudarshan Ballal, President NATHEALTH.

According to the survey, hospitals in tier 1 and tier 2 cities are experiencing a 78 per cent reduction in OPD footfalls, and a drop of 79 per cent in in-patient admissions.

The study found that 90 per cent of organisations require some form of financial assistance.

The findings indicated that even after the lockdown lift, the situation will remain difficult for the hospitals and nursing homes as patients will hesitate from visiting hospitals.
