Developed Agricultural Resolution Campaign inaugurated by Maharashtra CM Fadnavis
The Chief Minister flagged off the campaign's chariot at Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University in Parbhani.
Modern agricultural methods, prosperous farmers and science-based agriculture are necessary to accelerate the concept of a developed India under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The agriculture sector is the backbone of the country's economy and employs more than half of the country's population along with food security. For this, the Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare and Rural Development, under the leadership of Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Shivraj Singh Chouhan, will implement the "Developed Agriculture Sankalp Abhiyan" across the country from May 29 to June 12, 2025.
Fadnavis expressed his hope that if this campaign is successful, the farmers of Maharashtra will get accurate guidance for planning the Khariff crop through this medium.
Altogether 2170 expert teams visiting more than 65,000 villages in 723 districts of the country will participate in this campaign.
Each team will have at least four scientists. These teams will include scientists from agricultural universities, experts from research institutes, officials from government departments, innovative farmers and FPO employees. The campaign aims to reach more than 1.3 crore farmers in the country.
In Maharashtra, the campaign will be implemented in 4,500 villages through the Agriculture Department and 50 Agricultural Science Centres. For the Marathwada region, 12 Agricultural Science Centres in eight districts are under the jurisdiction of Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Agricultural University. UNI VKB SSP

After Raj Thackeray's remark, Fadnavis says he's ‘thankful' for being credited in Uddhav patch-up
Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis sarcastically 'thanked' Raj Thackeray for crediting him for bringing back him and his estranged cousin Uddhav Thackeray together after two decades. 'I am thankful to Raj Thackeray for giving me credit for bringing them together," said Devendra Fadnavis reacting to Raj Thackeray's remark that the Maharashtra chief minister 'achieved' what 'Bal Thackeray' couldn't. 'Uddhav (Thackeray) and I are coming together after 20 years… What Balasaheb Thackeray couldn't do, what thousands of others couldn't do — Devendra Fadnavis managed to do,' Raj Thackeray said during the massive rally at Mumbai's Worli, following the Maharashtra governemnt's decision to roll back the introduction of Hindi as a third language in state schools. Devendra Fadnavis further said that although the rally was for the victory of the Marathi language, Uddhav Thackeray 'chose to speak about politics' and that he 'spoke out of frustration.' 'It was a victory rally for the Marathi language, but Uddhav Thackeray chose to speak about politics and how he was ousted from power. He is speaking out of frustration, as they have nothing to show despite ruling the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation for over 25 years. In contrast, we have brought development to the city and worked relentlessly for the Marathi Manoos in Mumbai.' said Fadnavis. (This is a developing story. Keep checking for more updates)

Bombay HC Dismisses Election Petitions Against Fadnavis, Mungantiwar & Other BJP Leaders
Nagpur: In a setback to Congress, the Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court on Friday dismissed multiple election petitions filed by its defeated candidates challenging the victories of Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis , senior BJP leader Sudhir Mungantiwar, and three other MLAs. The court ruled the pleas were not maintainable due to procedural lapses, including the petitioners' failure to be physically present during filing — a mandatory legal requirement. Justice Pravin Patil quashed five petitions filed by Congress candidates Prafulla Gudadhe, Girish Pandav, Satish Warjurkar, Subhash Dhote, and Santosh Singh Rawat. The pleas targeted the results from Nagpur South-West, Nagpur South, Chimur, Rajura, and Ballarpur constituencies in Vidarbha, respectively, alleging violations under Representation of the People Act and procedural irregularities in the 2024 assembly polls. "The petitions lacked essential particulars and did not comply with statutory requirements," Justice Patil observed, dismissing them summarily. In Gudadhe's plea, which specifically sought to annul CM Fadnavis's victory from South-West Nagpur, the court held that no evidence of corrupt practices or irregularities was demonstrated. Fadnavis won the seat by a margin of 39,710 votes. Petitioners' counsel Pavan Dahat and Akash Moon told TOI they would challenge the rulings in Supreme Court. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why!

The legal move was part of a wider offensive by the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), in which 27 losing candidates across Vidarbha filed similar petitions. Friday's verdict marks a legal and political setback for Congress, which accused the ruling party of misusing official machinery to swing elections. With this dismissal, Fadnavis, Mungantiwar, Chimur MLA Bunty Bhangadiya, South Nagpur MLA Mohan Mate, and Rajura MLA Deorao Bhongale all received legal reprieve as the court reaffirmed their victories. The petitioners had urged the court to declare victories of BJP legislators "null and void," citing non-compliance with mandatory electoral protocols by Election Commission of India. They argued ECI failed to issue a formal notification for using Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and withheld key election records like Form 17 and CCTV footage of strongrooms. They also alleged absence of VVPAT (Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail) verification, raising serious questions about transparency and fairness of the electoral process.
