Later, Gadkari garlanded statue of Nagpur’s founder Raje Bakht Buland Shah. The rally reached the District Collectorate in a huge procession.

waves to supporters during a rally taken out before filing nomination papers.  

After filing nomination papers, Gadkari, who is contesting Lok Sabha election for the first time, said that development of Nagpur city was priority on his agenda. “City’s development will get a boost. Nagpur will emerge on global map when I become MP,” said Gadkari. Without naming seven-term MP of Congress from the city Vilas Muttemwar, Gadkari said that the city’s development remained a neglected area for 25 years. Expressing confidence about his victory, the BJP candidate said that lakhs of people including even the Congress leaders were supporting him. 
When reporters asked him about Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Anjali Damania’s allegations, Gadkari refused to comment. 
Addressing a rally of supporters after filing nomination, Gadkari said that he would try to provide gainful employment to one lakh unemployed youths if he won the election. He also appealed to the party cadre to join poll-campaign till polling date. He asked the cadres to focus on house-to-house, man-to-man, and heart-to-heart campaign. 
Shiv Sena candidate Krupal Tumane, who filed nomination papers from Ramtek constituency, fired fresh salvo at Congress’ heavyweight leader and Ramtek MP Mukul Wasnik. “He has performed only bhoomipujan in Ramtek constituency. MIHAN is struggling to attract investment and Wasnik, who is senior leader of Congress, has not shown any interest,” he said. More than 80 per cent voters of Ramtek constituency are farmers and Shiv Sena will fight for them, he said. Development and employment were high on his agenda, he added. 
AAP’s Anjali Damania 
also files nomination 

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate from Nagpur Lok Sabha constituency Anjali Damania also filed her nomination papers at Collectorate on Saturday in early working hours.

papers on Saturday. 
The AAP candidate reached Collectorate with only four party workers. Later, Damania told reporters that AAP was here to change political patterns in the country. Hence, she said, she had asked AAP workers not to create crowd for filing nomination papers. “Why huge political gathering is required for only filing nomination. Do the political leaders want to show their strength to District Collector?” she wondered. Many social organisations urged her to arrange rally while filing nomination papers and she denied their request, she informed. “AAP has not only changed politics in India, but also has set a new trend for politicians,” she added. 
Firing a fresh salvo at BJP once again, Damania asked as to why Narendra Modi chose to address a poll rally at Wardha and not Nagpur. “BJP and Congress both are our rivals and AAP is contesting the election with full confidence,” she reiterated.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
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 als...

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

By
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...
