Sitting amid the blackened remains of his home, 32-year-old Nikesh Gawali carefully broke open a half-melted plastic box with a screwdriver. His hands shook slightly, not out of fear, but out of hope. “I’m trying to find my daughter Aarti’s gold earrings,” he said quietly, still focused on the box. “She’s just five. I got them made recently after months of labour work.” The plastic box, warped and blackened by heat, was one of the few things left from his two-room house on the outskirts of Dhamangaon village . All around him lay ash, broken tin sheets and charred wooden beams. The walls had cracked under the heat and the front room’s tin roof had caved in completely. What remained was a blackened debris all around - almost nothing to suggest a home once stood there. Nikesh earns his living as an agricultural labourer, like many in the village.

Orange City is all set to witness Modi Magic at its best on Tuesday evening at kasturchand Park, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address a massive public rally at historic Kasturchand Park on Tuesday evening.
After the grand success of Gondia rally where Prime Minister Narendra Modi mesmarised capacity audience, the star campaigner of BJP will be back in Vidarbha again on Tuesday to address two major rallies at Khamgaon and Nagpur.
Nagpur rally at Kasturchand Park will be in favour of BJP candidates from Nagpur and Wardha districts. The party has started preparation for the rally at Nagpur to ensure record turnout. Modi will address two more rallies at Maharashtra on Tuesday morning- Dhule and Jalgaon before entering Vidarbha region.
On August 21, Modi had addressed a mammoth rally at Kasturchand Park while performing bhoomipujan ceremony of Metro Rail held before the announcement of elections, but it was an official and non-political function.
This time, the party rank and file has started efforts to ensure that in tune of Modi rallies elsewhere, Nagpur rally should also draw record crowds. Massive response to Gondia meeting of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Vidarbha region on Sunday evening, has already charged up the ranks and file of BJP and party leaders are hoping that Modi magic will once again swing the results in their favour.
On Monday afternoon, state BJP spokesperson Girish Vyas briefed mediapersons about arrangements made about rally. Union minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, RPI President Ramdas Athawale, BJP state president Devendra Fadanvis, former MP Banwarilal Purohit, member of Rajya Sabha Ajaya Sancheti will also address the rally. BJP candidates for assembly polls including Devendra Fadnavis (South West Nagpur), Krishna Khopde (East Nagpur), Vikas Kumbhare (Central Nagpur), Sudhakar Deshmukh (West Nagpur), Sudhakar Kohale (South Nagpur), Dr Milind Mane (North Nagpur), Chandrashekhar Bawankule (Kamptee), Sameer Meghe (Hingna), Sudhir Parwe (Umrer), Mallikarjun Reddy (Ramtek) will be present on the dais during the rally.
Confident about BJP’s victory in the assembly polls, BJP leader Adv Ajay Agrawal, who fought election against AICC President chief Sonia Gandhi from Raibareli predicted complete sweep for BJP during ensuing assembly elections.
Former Mayor and MLC Anil Sole, who is incharge of Eastern Vidarbha, claimed that BJP would definitely win 27 seats out of 32 assembly segments of six district of Eastern Vidarbha. PM’s rallies are getting tremendous response which was never seen in past for any leader, he asserted. BJP workers are expecting a repeat of 2014 Lok Sabha election results when BJP led NDA had swept all the 10 Lok Sabha seats and out of 62 assembly segments, BJP with its old alliance partner Shiv Sena had established clear lead in 58 assembly segments.
Vyas further informed that Modi will address one more rally on October 9 at Kurha Road, Chandur Railway in Amravati district, in favour of Arun Adsad (Dhamangaon Railway) and other candidates from Amravati district and another at Bramhapuri in favour of candidates from Chandrapur and Gadchiroli districts.
Prof Rajesh Bagdi, Prof Sanjay Bhende, Balwant Jichkar, Dayashankar Tiwari, Sandip Joshi, Dr Rajiv Potdar, Bunty Kukde, Arvind Gajbhiye, Prem Zade are working hard for the rally. Kirtida Ajmera, Prabhakar Yeole, Chandan Goswami and others were present at the press conference.
