1-year NDA rule is nothing but deception: Bhumana
Addressing party activists, who staged a protest at RDO office on Wednesday observing Vennupotu Dinam, Bhumana said the only thing the NDA government did was attacking opposition YSRCP leaders and filed 2,466 cases against party leaders for exposing the government cheating the people by not implementing its promises.

She said the party will mobilize the people for the implementation of super six and other promises given at elections.

Modi, Muizzu & masala: How Maldives went from 'India Out' to strategic warmth
When Prime Minister Narendra Modi lands in the Maldives on Friday for a state visit, he will be greeted not as an outsider, but as the Guest of Honour at the island nation's 60th Independence Day celebrations. Just two years ago, such a scenario would have seemed unlikely. Today, it marks a dramatic shift in bilateral equations, underscoring the quiet resilience of India's strategic diplomacy.

His ministers had publicly criticised India and even targeted PM Modi in a bid to play to nationalist sentiments. The defeat of pro-India President Ibrahim Solih further intensified concerns that Maldives—historically a close ally—was pivoting away from New Delhi. Live Events But instead of reacting to provocation, India chose a policy of 'strategic restraint.' PM Modi was the first world leader to congratulate Muizzu on his election win. And now, just months later, Muizzu is rolling out the red carpet for Modi's visit—a clear sign that political rhetoric has yielded to diplomatic pragmatism. Diplomacy backed by development India's consistent and quiet support to Maldives during economic distress laid the groundwork for this diplomatic turnaround. In 2024, New Delhi extended a $400 million emergency financial package and a Rs 3,000 crore currency swap to stabilize the Maldivian economy. Investments totalling over $450 million are already underway in infrastructure, trade, education, water and sanitation. Muizzu himself acknowledged India's role during his India visit in November, stating: 'India is a key partner in the socio-economic and infrastructure development of the Maldives, and has stood by the Maldives during our times of need.' Among the flagship projects is the Greater Male Connectivity Project , a transformative infrastructure venture linking several islands and boosting economic mobility. Masala diplomacy meets maritime security But this visit isn't just symbolic—it's strategically significant. According to report by ET, Maldives and India are expected to deepen defence and maritime cooperation, particularly in combating drug trafficking across the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean. President Muizzu has declared the drug menace a national priority, and India is likely to offer greater support through naval collaboration and intelligence sharing. Maldives is already a member of the Colombo Security Conclave (CSC)—a regional initiative led by India to tackle maritime safety, terrorism, cyber threats, and disaster relief. The CSC has evolved into a crucial platform for multilateral cooperation, with Sri Lanka, Mauritius, and Maldives as core members, and Seychelles and Bangladesh as observers. Trade talks, treasury bills, & economic integration As part of the ongoing economic engagement, India and Maldives are in talks for a Free Trade Agreement and a broader investment pact, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri confirmed earlier this week. He also noted India's sustained subscription to Maldivian treasury bills through the State Bank of India , underlining the financial umbilical cord that links the two nations. Several Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) are likely to be signed during the prime minister's visit on Friday, covering areas from infrastructure to capacity building. These deals aim to accelerate regional integration and fortify economic stability in the archipelago. A visit rich in symbolism and strategy This will be PM Modi's third state visit to the Maldives—but the first since Muizzu took office. It comes not just as a bilateral gesture but as a regional statement of India's enduring influence, even amid political fluctuations. The timing couldn't be more symbolic—commemorating both 60 years of Maldivian independence and six decades of diplomatic ties with India. By inviting Modi as Guest of Honour, Male has sent a clear signal: despite the turbulence of recent years, India remains a trusted partner in Maldives' journey ahead

12-Year-Old Asks Father To Pay 1 Crore For Custody, Top Court Warns Mother
New Delhi: Hearing a child custody case, Chief Justice of India BR Gavai warned a 12-year-old girl's mother against "spoiling her mind" after the child demanded Rs 1 crore from her father if he wanted her to stay with him. The child, the court noted, also attacked her father with a stick and warned her mother that this would "come back" to her someday. Senior Advocate PR Patwalia, appearing for the father, told the court that the couple had a matrimonial dispute, after which the district court granted the child's custody to the father. The mother's challenge to the order in the high court is pending, but she has not handed over the child's custody, the lawyer said. The high court rejected the father's contempt case, and he approached the top court. Mr Patwalia told the bench, also comprising Justice K Vinod Chandran, that in September last year, the Supreme Court asked the district legal services authority to appoint a paralegal volunteer to ensure that the father's visitation rights are implemented. At this point, Chief Justice Gavai recounted that the child had also attacked her father with a stick in the past. "Now, kindly see what happened yesterday. Only yesterday, again the girl has declined to come with me. And she says that 'you are harassing my mother, you have filed a contempt (case), you please give Rs 1 crore, otherwise I will not go. On top of that, in the school records, the mother has deleted the name of the father," Mr Patwali said. He added that "punishing the mother is not going to achieve anything" and sought mediation in the matter. When the mother's counsel, Anubha Agrawal, said she was open to mediation, Chief Justice Gavai told the mother, "You are unnecessarily dragging your child, you are spoiling the career of your child, you are spoiling her mind. This will come back someday." The court eventually referred the matter to a mediator after both sides agreed. "Taking into consideration that the dispute is a matrimonial dispute, we consider it appropriate to refer the parties to mediation. With the consent of parties, we appoint Hon'ble Ms. Justice Ritu Bahri, Former Chief Justice of High Court of Uttarakhand as Mediator. The Mediator shall consider all the issues between the parties," it said.
