Due to reduced presence of opposition in major battlegrounds, NDA strengthened its hold on big states. india news
Of the six giant states with 278 Lok Sabha seats, which account for more than half of the 543 seats in Parliament, the ruling coalition is now in power in five of them, with a combined Lok Sabha strength of 239.Since PM Narendra Modi led the BJP to majority for the first time in 2014, the BJP’s position in these states has never been stronger than it is now, it has chief ministers in three of them, and Bengal will soon be a illustrious name in the list.
In contrast, the India Bloc, now defeated in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, has never been weaker in the battleground states that hold the key to parliamentary majority.After the four biggest states – Uttar Pradesh (80), Maharashtra (48), West Bengal (42) and Bihar (40), where the BJP-led NDA is in power, comes Tamil Nadu (39), where actor Vijay has taken TVK close to a majority in the 2026 assembly elections. He has also been vocal in his opposition to the BJP as well as the DMK, a strong member of the India Bloc. The sixth state, Madhya Pradesh with 29 seats, is the stronghold of BJP.
.
Of course, Lok Sabha elections are a different battle altogether, and parties in power in states often perform poorly in parliamentary elections. In 2024, the SP-Congress alliance in Uttar Pradesh pushed the BJP to second place, while the BJP came out on top in Congress-ruled Karnataka. But not ruling any major state, removing the incumbent from power becomes a difficult task for the opposition.With elections due in UP early next year and Madhya Pradesh in 2028, the arithmetic could still change if opposition parties manage to defeat the BJP in the Hindi-speaking states.If the list is expanded to include all 18 states with double-digit Lok Sabha numbers, their combined strength increases to 502 in the 543-member House. In that list, the opposition makes its presence felt, but only justifiably. It is in office in five states – Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana, Jharkhand and Punjab – with a total of 92 seats.
13 साल बाद मासूम को मिला न्याय…डेढ़ साल की बच्ची की हत्या करने वाले दरिंदे को उम्रकैद, प्रेम प्रसंग का बदला लेने के लिए वर्षा की दी गई बलि
मोरादाबाद समाचार: उत्तर प्रदेश के मुरादाबाद जिले के एक दिल दहला देने वाले मामले में 13 साल बाद न्याय मिला है। डेढ़ साल की मासूम बच्ची की हत्या के मामले में कोर्ट ने बड़ा फैसला सुनाते हुए मुख्य आरोपी को दोषी करार दिया है. एडीजे-4 कोर्ट ने आरोपी मुकेश को आजीवन कारावास की सजा सुनाई है और उस पर 15 हजार रुपये का जुर्माना भी लगाया है. इस फैसले के बाद पीड़ित परिवार ने राहत की सांस ली है. यह मामला साल 2013 का है, जिसने उस समय पूरे इलाके को हिलाकर रख दिया था और आज भी इसकी यादें लोगों के दिलों में ताजा हैं.
13 साल पुराना मामला
यह घटना मझोला थाना क्षेत्र के मानपुर नारायणपुर गांव में हुई. साल 2013 में डेढ़ साल की बच्ची वर्षा घर के बाहर खेल रही थी, तभी अचानक उसका अपहरण कर लिया गया. कुछ देर बाद उसका शव गांव के पास एक तालाब में मिला। पोस्टमार्टम रिपोर्ट से पता चला कि बच्ची की गला घोंटकर हत्या की गई है. इस घटना के बाद पूरे इलाके में डर और गुस्से का माहौल बन गया.
तीन थे आरोपी, अब एक को मिली सजा
पुलिस ने इस मामले में तीन लोगों को आरोपी बनाया था. इनमें से एक आरोपी की पहले ही मौत हो चुकी है, जबकि दूसरे को सबूतों के अभाव में कोर्ट ने बरी कर दिया था. अब तीसरे आरोपी मुकेश को दोषी मानते हुए कोर्ट ने उम्रकैद की सजा सुनाई है. साथ ही 15 हजार रुपये का जुर्माना भी लगाया गया है. जुर्माना नहीं देने पर अतिरिक्त सजा भी तय की गयी है.
प्रेम प्रसंग और बदले की कहानी
पुलिस जांच में पता चला कि हत्या प्रेम प्रसंग और पुरानी दुश्मनी का नतीजा है. राजू नाम के शख्स ने केस दर्ज कराया था. उनके मुताबिक, उनके भाई धर्मेंद्र और विजेंद्र की बेटी ज्योति के बीच प्रेम संबंध था। ये दोनों पहले विजेंद्र के मकान में किराएदार के तौर पर रहते थे. ज्योति की शादी हो जाने के बाद भी धर्मेंद्र उनके संपर्क में रहे। इससे विजेंद्र का परिवार नाराज था. हालात तब और बिगड़ गए जब धर्मेंद्र ज्योति को लेकर चला गया. इसी का बदला लेने के लिए आरोपी ने मासूम बच्ची को निशाना बनाया.
मासूम बच्चे को बनाया प्रतिशोध का शिकार!
24 अप्रैल 2013 को लड़की वर्षा का उसके घर के बाहर से अपहरण कर लिया गया और बाद में उसकी हत्या कर शव तालाब में फेंक दिया गया. जांच के बाद पुलिस ने विजेंद्र, मुकेश व एक अन्य के खिलाफ आरोप पत्र दाखिल किया था। लंबे इंतजार के बाद आए इस फैसले से पीड़ित परिवार को थोड़ी राहत मिली है. कोर्ट के इस फैसले को न्याय की दिशा में एक अहम कदम माना जा रहा है.
Bhagwat Mann meets President Murmu, demands action against 6 former AAP MPs. india news
In separate meetings with the President, while Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann demanded termination of membership of the six members from the state and stressed the need for a “right of recall” provision in the Constitution, MP Raghav Chadha submitted a memorandum alleging that “dangerous vendetta politics” were being carried out against him following his exit from AAP.Amidst all this, while addressing a gathering of Punjab MLAs who had accompanied Mann to Delhi, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal launched a scathing attack alleging that the BJP has stolen seven Rajya Sabha seats from Punjab, six of which the people of the state will take revenge for in the assembly elections next year. MP Swati Maliwal is a member of the Upper House from Delhi.Kejriwal also accused the BJP of “hijacking democracy” and “destroying” it and using central agencies like ED and CBI to topple governments, jail leaders and divert and add votes.After meeting the President, Mann said that he has submitted a memorandum signed by the MLAs of Punjab.
Methana volcano in Greece never died: Scientists reveal 100,000 years of hidden magma activity
For years, the Methana volcano located in Greece has been classified as a dormant volcano because of its proximity to the Saronic Gulf around Athens, it has always appeared peaceful and inactive. It has always been believed that it has not displayed any signs of volcanic activity for hundreds of years, but current findings by scientists have proven that this was just a misconception. Geological studies show that there were periods when volcanoes remained quiescent on the surface for decades, during which time magma accumulated beneath the Earth’s surface.
Greece’s Methana volcano reawakens after 100,000 years of hidden magma activity
The last recorded volcanic eruption of Methana occurred around 250 BC. It was mentioned in several ancient Greek texts, and since then, there has been no activity on the surface of the Methana volcano. Thus, its relative peace has led to the belief that it poses no threat to humans.According to the study published titled Science Advances ‘A volcano reawakened after more than 100,000 years of “quiet” magma reservoir development, Modern scientists claim that this belief is wrong. Scientists at ETH Zurich took a deep dive into the geology of Methana and found something unexpected. Over the past 700,000 years, Methana Volcano has gone through several phases of volcanic activity, separated from each other by long quiet periods.One of the most interesting discoveries was the period when Methana displayed no activity on the surface for approximately 100,000 years, but inside the Earth there was nothing but calm.
What zircon crystals reveal about methane’s hidden underground activity
To understand the history of methane, a study was conducted on more than 1,250 zircon crystals obtained from ancient volcanic rock flows. Such crystals grow in magma and can retain information about geological processes over long periods of time. Studying the process of radioactive uranium decay allows to estimate the time of the explosion.It turned out that even at a time when there were no volcanic eruptions, zircon formation was active. This indicates that there was movement of magma beneath the volcano. Scientists believe that during that period methane was not dormant but went into a state where underground magma was accumulating, but it did not come to the surface.
Why might magma remain trapped underground?
Metahana lies on top of a subduction zone, causing one plate to move beneath another. Melting of parts of the ocean floor creates magma, which then rises toward the surface. Unlike other magmas, this particular magma is exceptionally full of water.When highly watery magma moves upward, gases begin to form due to reduced pressure. In many ways, magma resembles soda because the gases will form bubbles, making it very thick. Magma does not rise to the Earth’s surface; Instead, it becomes trapped within the Earth. As a result, magma chambers are formed deep within the volcano.
Methana study suggests some “extinct” volcanoes may still be active underground.
Generally, extinct volcanoes are defined as volcanoes that have not erupted within the last 10,000 years. The history of Methana poses a challenge to this definition. It takes up to 100,000 years for a volcano to enter a period of quiescence, which indicates that a period of dormancy does not necessarily mean that the volcano is extinct.It has been speculated that there is a possibility that volcanoes that are defined as extinct may actually have active magma chambers beneath their surfaces. Such a magma chamber can only exist in a dormant state and requires certain conditions to erupt.

मुजफ्फरनगर मुठभेड़: पुलिस पर गोली लगने से बदमाश घायल, 400 ग्राम आभूषण और अवैध हथियार बरामद
मुजफ्फरनगर पुलिस की नियमित चेकिंग के दौरान एक संदिग्ध युवक को पकड़ने की कोशिश उस वक्त मुठभेड़ में बदल गई जब उसने पुलिस टीम पर फायरिंग कर दी. जवाबी कार्रवाई में आरोपी घायल हो गया और उसे मौके से गिरफ्तार कर लिया गया. उसके पास से अवैध हथियार, चोरी के आभूषण और बिना नंबर प्लेट की एक मोटरसाइकिल बरामद की गई है।
चेकिंग के दौरान संदिग्ध गतिविधि पर ध्यान गया
थाना कोतवाली नगर पुलिस दधेडू रजवाहा की पटरी के पास संदिग्ध व्यक्तियों व वाहनों की जांच कर रही थी। इसी दौरान एक युवक बिना नंबर प्लेट की मोटरसाइकिल पर आता दिखाई दिया। पुलिस ने उसे रुकने का इशारा किया, लेकिन वह डर गया और खेतों की ओर भागने लगा.
पुलिस टीम ने तुरंत उसका पीछा किया. कुछ दूरी पर तेज रफ्तार के कारण मोटरसाइकिल अनियंत्रित होकर गिर गई, जिसके बाद आरोपी ने पैदल ही भागने की कोशिश की.
घिरा देख बदमाश ने फायरिंग कर दी
जब आरोपी ने खुद को घिरा हुआ पाया तो उसने पुलिस टीम पर जान से मारने की नियत से फायरिंग कर दी. अचानक हुए इस हमले में पुलिसकर्मी बाल-बाल बच गये.
स्थिति की गंभीरता को देखते हुए पुलिस ने आत्मरक्षा में जवाबी कार्रवाई की, जिसमें आरोपी के दाहिने पैर में गोली लगी. गोली उसके घुटने के नीचे लगी, जिससे वह घायल होकर गिर पड़ा और मौके पर ही उसे काबू में कर लिया गया।
घायल अभियुक्तों की पहचान एवं बरामदगी
गिरफ्तार आरोपी की पहचान शिवम उर्फ मोटा पुत्र मुकेश निवासी चन्द्रपाल खेड़ी कॉलोनी, थाना नकुड़, जिला सहारनपुर के रूप में हुई है।
पुलिस ने उसके कब्जे से अवैध हथियार समेत करीब 400 ग्राम सफेद धातु के आभूषण बरामद किये हैं. शुरुआती जांच में यह आशंका जताई जा रही है कि यह आभूषण डकैती से जुड़े हो सकते हैं. इसके अलावा घटना में प्रयुक्त बिना नंबर प्लेट की स्पलेंडर मोटरसाइकिल भी बरामद कर ली गई है.
घायल को अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया गया
घायल आरोपी को तुरंत इलाज के लिए अस्पताल भेजा गया, जहां उसका इलाज जारी है. पुलिस की निगरानी में उनकी हालत पर नजर रखी जा रही है.
वरिष्ठ अधिकारियों के निर्देशन में हुई कार्रवाई
यह पूरी कार्रवाई वरिष्ठ पुलिस अधीक्षक संजय कुमार वर्मा की देखरेख में पूरी की गई. पुलिस अधीक्षक नगर अमृत जैन, क्षेत्राधिकारी सिद्धार्थ मिश्रा एवं थाना प्रभारी ब्रिजेश कुमार शर्मा के नेतृत्व में टीम सक्रिय थी।
यह ऑपरेशन वरिष्ठ अधिकारियों-मेरठ जोन के अतिरिक्त पुलिस महानिदेशक और सहारनपुर रेंज के पुलिस उप महानिरीक्षक के मार्गदर्शन में चलाया गया था।
पुलिस टीम की सतर्कता से बड़ा हादसा टल गया
इस घटना में पुलिस की तत्परता और संयम से एक संभावित बड़ा हादसा टल गया. यदि समय रहते कार्रवाई नहीं की जाती तो स्थिति और भी गंभीर हो सकती थी.
ऑपरेशन में शामिल टीम में उपनिरीक्षक मिलन चौधरी, कांस्टेबल सुधीर कुमार, रवि कुमार, हेमंत कुमार, अमित कुमार व विद्याराम ने अहम भूमिका निभाई।
आगे की कानूनी प्रक्रिया जारी है
गिरफ्तार आरोपियों के खिलाफ संबंधित धाराओं में मामला दर्ज कर लिया गया है और बरामद सामान के आधार पर अन्य मामलों की भी जांच की जा रही है. पुलिस यह भी पता लगाने की कोशिश कर रही है कि आरोपी किसी बड़े गिरोह से जुड़ा है या नहीं.
मुजफ्फरनगर में हुई इस कार्रवाई से एक बार फिर यह साफ हो गया है कि सतर्क पुलिसिंग और त्वरित निर्णय से गंभीर अपराधों पर प्रभावी नियंत्रण संभव है। घायल अवस्था में पकड़े गए आरोपियों के तार कई आपराधिक घटनाओं से जुड़े हो सकते हैं, जिनकी कड़ियां अब जांच के दौरान सामने आने की उम्मीद है.
DM orders action against unsafe boat operations. patna news
Patna: Patna DM Thiagarajan SM on Tuesday directed sub-divisional and police officials to initiate strict legal action against boat operators violating safety standards in the rivers of the district. The directive orders a complete ban on overloading and operation of unregistered vessels, emphasizing that any compromise on public safety would invite immediate prosecution. Under the new order, operation of all private and government boats has been banned between sunset and sunrise.District authorities, including District Transport Officers (DTOs) and circle officers, have been directed to ensure that every vessel has mandatory safety equipment such as life jackets, lifebuoys, first aid kits and rescue ropes. Boats must also prominently display the operator’s contact details, registration number, load capacity and identification of the nominated trained diver. These measures follow recent inspections at Digha Patipul, Gaighat and Nasirganj, where officials found dangerous transportation of passengers as well as cattle and vehicles beyond the permitted limits.To streamline compliance, DTO will organize circle-wise camps to facilitate registration under Bihar Model Boat Rules-2011 and Bengal Ferry Act, 1885. All boats must undergo inspection by a motor vehicle inspector to certify seaworthiness before being allowed to operate. Besides this, local police and circle officers have been directed to hold meetings with seafarers to explain the norms and conduct regular field inspections.The administration has also authorized complete suspension of boat services during adverse weather conditions. Public announcements regarding safety protocols will be made through the Patna Smart City public address system and by local authorities on the river ghats. Additional District Magistrate for Disaster Management will monitor the implementation of these measures and ensure regular monitoring and reporting to the District Disaster Branch.
Quote of the Day by Amelia Earhart: “Some of us already have wonderful runways built for us. If you have one, take off. But if you don’t have one, understand that it is your responsibility to take a shovel and build a runway for yourself and those who will come after you.” | world News
Some quotes are still important today because they talk about things that happen to people every day. One of them is this line from Amelia Earhart. It talks about possibilities, but it also talks about work and duty. Not everyone’s starting point in life is the same. Some people have better resources, support or assistance available. Some people may not get the same benefits. The quote makes the difference very clear. However, it doesn’t stop there. By focusing on what can be done in both situations, it adds another layer. The message is to make the most of the opportunities that already exist. If they don’t, the message is to make them. This idea has a lot to do with learning, working, and growing as a person. It also shows that what one person does can impact others who come after them, which is a message that goes beyond just individual success.
Quote of the Day by Amelia Earhart
“Some of us already have great runways built for us. If you have one, take off. But if you don’t have one, understand that it’s your responsibility to take a shovel and build a runway for yourself and those who will come after you.”
What is the meaning behind Amelia Earhart’s quote?
The word “runway” is used as a metaphor in the quote. The runway of an airport is the place where planes take off. In short, it means possibilities or support systems that help one move forward.“Some of us already have wonderful runways built for us” means that some people have access to things like education, money, or mentors. These benefits can help you move forward more easily.The phrase “if you’ve got one, take it off” means that when opportunities arise you should make the most of them. This motivates people to act rather than wait.“But if you don’t have one… make one for yourself” focuses on those who do not have the same advantages. The implication is that the absence of opportunity does not mark the end of progress.The last part, “and for those who will come after you,” gives a greater meaning to the sentence. It shows that what we do today can help people in the future.
Amelia Earhart’s Life and Perspective
In the early days of flight, Amelia Earhart was one of the most famous people. She was the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean solo in 1932. At a time when men were in charge of aviation, her achievements were beyond the ordinary.She was having difficulty getting where she was going. At that time, women did not get many opportunities in aviation. She still went after her goal and made her own path.This quote is about his own life. She understood both sides: not getting many opportunities and creating new opportunities by putting in a lot of effort. His life story makes the message more powerful by showing how determination can help you move forward.
idea of unequal starting points
The quote begins by saying that not everyone starts from the same place.Some people have access to good schools, strong support systems, and stable finances while growing up. These things can help you reach your goal.Some people may face problems like not having enough resources, not getting enough opportunities or social barriers. These differences can make progress difficult or slow.It is important to know this difference because it helps people understand what success really means. This shows that both effort and chance can affect outcomes.
Utilizing available opportunities effectively
The quote is clear: If you have the chance, take it.Having resources does not mean you will automatically be successful. It still takes work, focus and choices.This may mean using all the learning tools that are available to you at school. In your career, this might mean making the most of training, mentorship or networking opportunities.The word “take off” means to do something. It motivates people to move forward instead of postponing things.
Building opportunities from the ground up
The second part of the quote is about making opportunities happen when they don’t exist.“Grab a shovel and make a shovel” is a direct way of saying that you need to do some work in order to make progress.This could mean learning new skills, looking for other ways to do things, or starting something on your own.People who do not have easy access to opportunities often learn to solve problems and become more resilient. These symptoms can be useful in the long run.The idea is not to get rich quickly, but to work hard and make steady progress.
Importance of paving the way for others
One of the most important parts is the focus of the quote on future generations.The phrase “make one…for those who will come after you” suggests that what one person does can help others.For example, when someone starts a business or enters a new field, he can make things easier for other people.People often talk about this idea in areas like education, social change, and work, where early efforts lead to greater reach over time.This shows that progress can occur at the individual level as well as the group level.
How does this quote apply to modern life
This quote dates back a long time, but its meaning still rings true today.In today’s world people still have different levels of access to resources and opportunities. At the same time, new tools and platforms have made it possible to create opportunities in new ways.For example, digital platforms let people learn new skills, start businesses, or share ideas without the usual barriers.You can use the message of the quotes in many areas, such as education, starting a business, and improving yourself.
role of persistence and effort
To create opportunities, you have to keep moving often. It may take some time to see progress and there may be problems along the way.From the quote it sounds like you should think long term. It emphasizes ongoing effort over immediate results.Perseverance means remaining committed to your goals even when progress is slow. Over time, hard work can yield significant results.Many success stories reflect this idea, where people started small but reached their goals through hard work.
A balanced view of success and responsibility
This quote gives an unbiased view of what success means. It acknowledges the importance of opportunity while also emphasizing the need for personal responsibility.It is not said that success comes by chance. It means there are possibilities and people are trying to use or create them.The concept of responsibility goes beyond the individual. It means helping to create a system where other people can do well, too.
Why does this quote continue to resonate?
People still share this quote a lot today because it contains a useful message. It talks about real life situations in a way that is easy to understand.People from all walks of life can understand this. Some people may relate to the part related to having possibilities, while others may relate to the part related to creating them.It is useful in many situations because it focuses on both action and responsibility.

- “The adventure is worthwhile in itself.”
- “The more one does, sees and feels, the more one is capable of doing.”

After ‘fight’, Farooq Abdullah said, NC will hand over the reins of Kargil Council to Congress. india news
Srinagar: National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday said his party will hand over the chairmanship of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council-Kargil (LAHDC-K) to the Congress by 2023 as agreed among allies, in a bid to defuse the crisis arising from the current chief’s refusal to step down.“We are handing over it (chairmanship of the council) to the Congress,” Farooq told TOI.Tension deepened in the last two weeks when the Congress accused the current CEO of LAHDC-K and NC’s Mohammad Jafar Akhoon of refusing to step down even after completing the two-and-a-half-year tenure agreed among allies after the 2023 elections to the council. Akhoon cited the administrative fallout from the recent creation of five new districts in the Union Territory as the reason for not stepping down.In the October 2023 elections, NC had emerged as the largest party with 12 seats in the 30-member council. Congress had won 10 seats. The allies had a total of 22 seats, six more than the majority. BJP got two seats.Amid the tension, Congress’ Ladakh chief Asghar Ali Karbalai had rejected reports of discord and insisted there was no difference of opinion among the allies over the council. He said the rotational arrangement of chiefs would be in line with the 2023 agreement and the change would be formalized soon. NC-backed Ladakh MP Mohammad Haneefa had also intervened in the tussle and insisted that the council was stable and internal issues were being resolved.The 2023 elections were politically significant as they took place after the removal of Article 370 in August 2019 and the creation of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir as two union territories (UTs). NC Vice President and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah had expressed gratitude for the Congress’s “unwavering support” and thanked the people of Kargil for supporting the alliance.Ladakh UT has two hill councils – LAHDC-K and Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council-Leh (LAHDC-L). Leh council was established in 1995 and that for Kargil in 2003.The Center had approved five new Ladakh districts in August 2024. Lieutenant Governor Vinay Kumar Saxena notified them on April 26 this year, taking the total number to seven. The new districts are Sham, Nubra, Changthang in Leh and Zanskar and Dras in Kargil. It is not clear whether these will come under the Kargil and Leh councils or will be separate bodies.
