Will eliminate corruption hubs of previous govts: CM
Her statement came a day after Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena ordered a probe into the alleged cor-ruption in the 'Jai Bhim Mukhyamantri Pratibha Vikas Yojana' launched by the previous AAP govern-ment.
The scheme, launched in 2018, aimed to provide free coaching to SC, ST, OBC, EWS and minority stu-dents at private coaching institutes for various competitive exams, including the UPSC, SSC, NEET, and CLAT.
However, the scheme was discontinued when the new BJP-led government took office in February this year.
At an event, when asked about the directions issued to probe the matter, Gupta said, 'If you allocate Rs 15 crore for a scheme and then submit bills worth Rs 150 crore, how can things function? We will elimi-nate the hubs of corruption that existed under previous governments.'
She further assured that the public's 'hard-earned money' will not go to waste.

Former West Bengal BJP President Dilip Ghosh says party did not invite him to PM rally, gives it a miss
Dilip Ghosh, former president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal, remained absent from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's event in the State on Friday, claiming the party 'did not invite' him. 'The party cadre had called me to attend the rally. But the party did not invite me. Maybe they do not want me there; it would make them uncomfortable. So, I will not go to the Prime Minister's rally. I am going to Delhi instead, for some work related to the party,' Mr Ghosh told media persons at the Kolkata airport before departing for Delhi. In Delhi, he was seen going to the residence of national BJP president JP Nadda, and leaving in a few minutes. Meanwhile, on the same day, in West Bengal's Durgapur, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated key development projects and attended a party rally. Mr. Ghosh has notably remained absent from important party events and rallies in the recent past, including events attended by Prime Minister Modi at Alipurduar and Home Minister Amit Shah in Kolkata this year. His absence on Friday assumes significance considering the upcoming Martyrs' Day rally by the Trinamool on July 21. Speculations are rife that Mr Ghosh is potentially joining Trinamool. Amid reports of a souring relationship between Mr. Ghosh and the State BJP leadership, the newly appointed West Bengal BJP President Samik Bhattacharya had reached out to Mr Ghosh on July 8 this year. After their in-person meeting, Mr. Bhattacharya described Mr. Ghosh as the 'heart and soul' of the party, while Mr. Ghosh said that he will follow instructions from the party leadership like any other party worker. Mr. Ghosh is a senior leader of the BJP in the State and has served as a national vice president and State president of the BJP. Under his leadership, the BJP had won 18 out of the State's 42 Lok Sabha seats in 2019. He was earlier elected as an MP from Medinipur in 2019 and an MLA from Kharagpur Sadar in 2016. In May this year, Mr. Ghosh drew criticism from the BJP when he met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the inauguration of the Digha Jagannath Temple. The erstwhile State BJP President, Sukanta Majumder, was quick to clarify to the media that the party had decided not to attend the temple inauguration, and Mr, Ghosh's presence was in his personal capacity.

ED arrests Baghel's son in Chhattisgarh liquor ‘scam'
PTI photo RAIPUR: Enforcement Directorate arrested on Friday Chaitanya Baghel, son of former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel, from his residence in Bhilai after the agency conducted an early morning search at his premises in connection with an alleged Rs 2,100 crore liquor scam during his father's tenure as CM. Chaitanya was presented at a special PMLA court in Raipur which sent him to five-day ED custody, an agency official said, adding that Chaitanya did not cooperate during the searches. The father-son duo stays in the same house, while Baghel also has an MLA residence in Raipur. When ED carried out searches, Baghel was at his Raipur residence and was proceeding to Vidhan Sabha. The timing of the raid, on the last day of the assembly session, triggered sharp political reactions, particularly from the opposition Congress. Bid to suppress debate on tree-felling: Congress ED's early-morning raid and the subsequent arrest of former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel's son Chaitanya set off sharp reactions, with Congress alleging that the move was designed to suppress discussion on deforestation in Tamnar region of Raigarh district linked to a particular industrialist. ED had earlier searched Chaitanya Baghel's premises on March 10 while probing some transactions allegedly linking him and his entities to 'proceeds of crime' in the liquor 'scam' case. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The agency did not disclose details of the charges against Chaitanya, but in an earlier press note, it had claimed that some senior bureaucrat, having protection of 'top executive of the state', carried out the scam. Reacting to the arrest, Baghel Senior said the Centre was misusing its agencies to target opposition netas. 'To please their master PM Modi and Amit Shah, they have sent ED to my house. We won't be scared or bow down,' he said. He, however, said he would cooperate with the probe. In this case, ED had in Jan arrested former excise minister Kawasi Lakhma; Anwar Dhebar, brother of Raipur mayor and Congress's Aijaz Dhebar; and senior babus, including IAS officer Anil Tuteja and a telecom service officer, Arunpati Tripathi. After the arrest of Lakhma, ED had claimed that he was 'aware of the complete affairs of the liquor scam, yet he did nothing to stop it'. The agency has accused Lakhma of receiving Rs 2 crore every month from the syndicate involved in illegal liquor trade. ED had also said Lakhma played an important role in policy change, which led to the introduction of FL-10A licence in Chhattisgarh. 'He was an integral part of the syndicate and assisted it by manoeuvring the process and procedures as per their direction,' it said. The agency has so far attached assets worth over Rs 200 crore in the case. Baghel later said, 'The adjournment motion moved by Congress in the Chhattisgarh assembly over tree felling being carried out by Adani Group in Tamnar was disallowed by Speaker Raman Singh. The opposition alleged that there has been no adherence to the PESA Act, no compliance with directives issued by the National Green Tribunal, and even the resolution unanimously passed by the state assembly has been disregarded. Not even a discussion was permitted.' Bringing an adjournment motion in the assembly, leader of the opposition Charandas Mahant and Baghel alleged in their speeches that 'Tamnar coal mine, which has been allotted to Maharashtra State Power Generation Company with its mine operator and developer being Adani, is being run solely for the benefit of a single industrialist, while local residents are being harassed and displaced'.

TMC lauds PM's ‘poribartan'
Kolkata: on Friday feted the "poribartan (change)" in Prime Minister hours after he began his speech at Durgapur with "Jai Ma Kali, Jai Ma Durga". "The PM said he wants poribartan (change). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But what has changed? The change has come in Narendra Modi. He has shifted from chanting 'Jai Sri Ram' to 'Jai Ma Kali' and 'Jai Ma Durga'. Such a transformation shows Bengal's soil has changed him," Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said at a press meet where 'singara' and 'jalebi' were served to all as a reminder to the now-withdrawn diktat against these traditional Indian snacks by the central govt. Accusing of using God as "a political brand ambassador" and, therefore, leaning on Lord Ram, Ghosh said, "Some leaders on the dais chanted Jai Sri Ram today as well, but the PM quickly made his stance clear by paying homage to Ma Kali and Ma Durga." At the same press meet, minister Chandrima Bhattacharya slammed the PM for claiming that youth were fleeing the state due to a lack of jobs. "Bengali labourers are skilled, which is why they work all over India," she said, and drawing attention to the harassment of Bengali-speaking workers in BJP-governed states, she added, "You are hindering the right to speech and movement. You are insulting Bengalis. Your double-engine govts are expelling Bengalis, labelling them Rohingya. It is clear that you are under pressure to learn Bengali. Why didn't you criticise the expelling of Bengalis from BJP-governed states?" In a post on X, Trinamool Congress also demanded answers to five questions: "Is speaking Bangla a crime? If yes, does that make him a criminal too for singing the National Anthem and National Song, both written in Bangla? If no, why are Bengali-speaking citizens being detained and deported in BJP-ruled states? Which provision of the Constitution allows state-sponsored persecution based on language? And does BJP truly believe this is how they'll earn the mandate of the people of Bengal?" Countering the PM's claims on women being unsafe in Bengal, Bhattacharya asked, "Do you have deep concern for women? What about the girl in Odisha who burned herself to death? You said nothing about her. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Here, all crimes against women are taken seriously, with quick arrests, be it RG Kar or the law college incident. We criticise such crimes." Ghosh alleged the PM was engaging in political deceit since he had arrived in Bengal empty-handed, without settling the state's NREGA scheme dues worth Rs 1.7 lakh crores. "He spoke of an invisible Rs 5,000 crore and is spreading falsehoods. He promised 22 crore jobs, but in reality, only 22 lakh jobs were provided. He is only spreading lies. BJP will not even get 50 seats in the upcoming state election," he said. Earlier in the day, minister Sashi Panja criticised the Centre for their inability to nab the terrorists behind the Pahalgam attack. "It has been 88 days since 26 people were brutally killed in the Pahalgam terror attack, yet the nation has received no answers. Who allowed terrorists to infiltrate 200 km, kill, and vanish undetected? If this is a security lapse, it is also a grave intelligence failure. Bengal demands to know, where are the attackers? What happened after the sketches were released? Silence is not an option," she said.
