16 December,2024 12:12 AM IST | Mumbai | Shirley BoseUnion Minister Ramdas Athawale expressed his disappointment on Sunday over the absence of any representation from his party, the Republican Party of India (A), in the recent Maharashtra Cabinet expansion. Athawale, who had previously been promised a ministry by Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis, demanded at least one portfolio for his party, news agency ANI reported. According to ANI, Athawale claimed that he was not invited to the cabinet expansion ceremony, which was attended by Fadnavis and his deputies, Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar. "The swearing-in ceremony for the Maharashtra Cabinet expansion was held in Nagpur. The CM and Deputy CMs attended the event, but despite being part of the Mahayuti alliance, I did not even receive an invitation," he said. The Republican Party of India (A) performed well in the Vidhan Sabha elections. We held meetings with Devendra Fadnavis, and he promised to allocate at least one ministry to us. However, in this expansion, there is no representation from RPI(A). We demand at least one ministry in the Cabinet," Athawale was quoted as saying by ANI. Athawale’s remarks come after the swearing-in of the leaders from the Mahayuti alliance as Cabinet Ministers in a ceremony held at Raj Bhavan in Nagpur on Sunday. Among those sworn in were Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, including the party's Maharashtra unit chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Ashish Shelar, Ganesh Naik, Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Pankaja Munde, Girish Mahajan, Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, Chandrakant Patil, and Nitesh Rane.

Maharashtra Governor CP Radhakrishnan administered the oath of office to the newly appointed ministers. The cabinet expansion comes 10 days after CM Fadnavis and his two deputies were sworn in on December 5.

15 December,2024 01:05 PM IST | MumbaiShiv Sena (UBT) Member of Parliament (MP) Sanjay Raut on Sunday launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who, in his speech in the Lok Sabha, emphasised the importance of zero tolerance towards corruption. Raut questioned the sincerity of the Prime Minister's claims, pointing to the alleged corrupt leaders within the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), including Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Ministers Ajit Pawar and Eknath Shinde. Raut criticised PM Modi's stance, alleging that the presence of such figures within the BJP undermines the credibility of the Prime Minister’s anti-corruption rhetoric. He particularly targeted PM Modi’s ties with business magnate Gautam Adani, suggesting that Modi's tolerance of Adani’s business practices contradicted his professed stance on corruption. "Ask your 56-inch chest how many corrupt people are around me? He should ask himself. You (PM Modi) are tolerating Adani and yet talk about zero tolerance towards corruption. PM Modi never does what he says," Raut told reporters. Raut further levelled accusations against Ajit Pawar, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, calling them corrupt. He called on PM Modi to expel Ajit Pawar from the party alliance, saying, "He (PM Modi) should remove Ajit Pawar from the party (alliance). He took an oath in your 'great' presence... Eknath Shinde is one of the most corrupt leaders, and the other 10-12 people who came with him have undergone raids by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED). Can you dare to sideline them?" The criticism from Raut comes in the wake of PM Modi's address to the Lok Sabha on Saturday, in which he presented eleven pledges for India's future, including a firm commitment to inclusive development and zero tolerance for corruption. In his speech, PM Modi urged that there should be no social acceptance of corruption and that the people should take pride in following the country's laws and traditions. Prime Minister Modi also directed his ire towards the Congress, accusing the party of consistently disrespecting the Constitution. He referred to the Nehru-Gandhi family, alleging that each generation had disrespected the Constitution. "Congress has continuously disrespected the Constitution. It has made attempts to reduce its importance. The history of Congress is full of such examples," said PM Modi. Taking a dig at the Congress, the Prime Minister labelled its historic slogan ‘Garibi Hatao’ (Remove Poverty) as a mere "jumla" (empty rhetoric), while highlighting that his government was committed to alleviating the suffering of the poor. The two-day debate on 75 years of the Indian Constitution in the Lok Sabha commenced on Friday, with PM Modi concluding the discussions on a note of reaffirming his government’s commitment to constitutional values and free politics, devoid of dynastic rule. As per ANI reports, the Cabinet expansion is also expected to coincide with these political developments in Maharashtra. (With inputs from ANI)

The incident came to light after the victim’s friend posted a video of the act on social media.

Upon instructions from senior officers, an immediate investigation was launched by the Gamdevi Police Station team. Investigation and arrest “Using technical analysis of the video uploaded on social media, the police traced and recorded the statement of the complainant. Following her statement, an FIR was promptly registered, and multiple teams were formed to identify and apprehend the accused,” said Mohit Garg, DCP, Zone 02. “The investigation involved scanning extensive CCTV footage from the area, which helped track the accused’s movements. The accused, identified as Dindayal Motiram Singh (27), had fled to his native village in Bamnaitala, Agra district, Uttar Pradesh,” Garg added. A team from Gamdevi Police Station was dispatched to Agra, where Singh was located and apprehended. He was subsequently brought to Mumbai and will be produced in court. Accused background Preliminary inquiries revealed that Singh had been residing in Sion Koliwada for the past 10 years. He worked as a farsan (snack) vendor, operating in areas such as Colaba, Grant Road, and Breach Candy.

Dr Shrikhande has repeatedly been listed in Stanford University’s list of the world’s highest contributing researchers and is a visiting professor at 8 prestigious universities across Europe and USA. The honour highlights “Dr Shrikhande has been a leader in ensuring access to care for patients, accomplishing this goal in part by teaching surgeons through India and ensuring the creation of housing for impoverished patients at his institution in Mumbai”. Speaking to mid-day, Dr Shrikande said, “I am delighted to be receiving the Honorary fellowship. Having said that, these honours would not be worth it, if I was working in some other part of the world after getting my education. I am delighted that I have been able to put this to use, in a country like India. Moreover, I am thankful to Tata Memorial Hospital and Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), known for its selfless work culture, for giving me the opportunity to use my education and skills for cancer patient care and for treatment. I think that’s what makes our life enriching. If I am able to inspire the next generation of surgeons, all these awards and recognition would be truly worth the effort.”
