Firing salvo against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) former National President Nitin Gadakari dubbed AAP as B-Team of Congress party and charged it with “trying to malign image of BJP in the Delhi elections.” Congress and AAP have good internal relations. The party will be exposed in next 3-4 months,” Gadkari claimed while taking pot-shots at this political party which stunned all in Delhi elections by bagging 28 seats. Gadkari, who is also member of Legislative Council on Friday visited the Vidhan Bhavan.

He further said that AAP and Congress should support each other and share power in Delhi. AAP’s reluctance to form governemnt was because they would find it difficult to fulfill tall promises made in their manifesto, he claimed. AAP can’t give so much water and reduce power tariff by 40 per cent. They can’t implement their manifesto. Hence, they don’t want power," Gadkari claimed.  The senior BJP leader also denounced AAP is an immature party changing their stand every day.

Gadkari further supported anti-graft crusador Anna Hazare for asking AAP leader Gopal Rai to leave fast venue at Ralegan Siddhi. “Anna is good man with no political intentions. Anna had earlier annonced that he would not share dais with any political party. However, the AAP man was trying to hijack Anna’s agitaiton.”
Gadkari also targetted Congress and said that the party had made world record in corruption and inflation. “BJP has won 70 per cent seats and the victory has reinformed people’s faith in BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi,” said Gadkari.

Earlier, Gadkari was accorded a rousing welcome by party workers at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport. MLA and BJP city unit chief Krishna Khopde, Mayor Anil Sole, Deputy Mayor Jaitunbee Patel, Sandip Joshi, MLAs Sudhakar Deshmukh, state spokesperson Girish Vyas, NIT trustee Dr Ravindra Bhoyar, Kailash Chute, Narendra Borkar, Kishor Wankhede, Rajesh Bagdi, Prabhakar Yewale, Pramod Pendke and others were present.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script also ha

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is
