Celebrating 11 years of good governance under Modi
The event, organised under the leadership of district BJP president GM Shekhar, witnessed participation from several prominent leaders, including Rajya Sabha MP Paka Venkata Satyanarayana and former MLA Kapu Ramachandra Reddy, who graced the occasion as chief guests. Addressing the gathering, the leaders highlighted that exactly 11 years ago, a visionary leader, Narendra Damodardas Modi, assumed office as the Prime Minister of India, ushering in a new era in Indian politics. Since then, the country has been on a rapid path of development under his leadership. They emphasized that PM Modi's governance over the past 11 years has been marked by bold decisions and revolutionary welfare policies that transformed the trajectory of the nation.
Rising from a humble background, Modi's firsthand experience of poverty inspired people-centric policies. His administration has brought unprecedented changes, many of which were once considered unimaginable. Among the key milestones mentioned were the Balakot air strikes in retaliation to the 2019 Pulwama terrorist attack and Operation Sindoor in April 2025, carried out in response to a terror strike in Pahalgam.
These actions demonstrated India's firm stance against terrorism, sending a clear message that those who plot destruction will face consequences.
They acknowledged the government's commitment to placing India among the leading global nations through structural reforms and numerous welfare initiatives. The event saw active participation from state-level leaders, including BJP Yuva Morcha State President Mitta Vamshi Krishna, Dalit Morcha State President Gudise Devanand, State Executive Members Ramesh Reddy and Anjaneyulu and many others.

Almost 66 lakh voters may not make it to draft electoral roll in Bihar SIR exercise
Almost 66 lakh voters are unlikely to make it to the draft electoral roll to be published on August 1, according to Election Commission of India data released on Friday (July 25, 2025), the last day for submission of enumeration forms in the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. Bihar had over 7.89 crore voters according to the 2025 electoral rolls. The forms of 7.23 crore electors have been received and digitised, and the names of all these electors will be included in the draft electoral roll, the ECI said in a statement. The poll body said that the digitisation of forms of the remaining electors will also be completed by August 1, along with Booth Level Officer (BLO) reports. During the month-long SIR exercise, which began on June 24, the local BLOs have reported the names of approximately 22 lakh deceased electors, 7 lakh registered in more than one location, and 35 lakh who have either permanently migrated or could not be traced. In addition, the enumeration forms of approximately 1.2 lakh electors are yet to be received. Consensual sex between adolescents aged 16 to 18 years must not be treated as abuse: amicus curiae to SC Supreme Court-appointed amicus curiae and senior advocate Indira Jaising has argued that consensual sexual acts by teenagers, aged between 16 and 18, in voluntary relationships cannot be classified as 'abuse' or prosecuted as a crime. The written submissions filed by Ms. Jaising in the apex court is part of a petition filed by advocate Nipun Saxena dating back to 2012. The amicus's brief has challenged the age of pegged at 18 years by the enactment of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (POCSO) to the extent that it works to criminalise 'consensual sexual activity between children between the age of 16-18'. 'The only solution lies in declaring that sex between consenting adolescents between the age of 16, an almost universal age of sexual maturity, and 18 is not a form of 'abuse',' Ms. Jaising's submissions said. Maldives President Muizzu thanks India for 'pivotal' economic assistance Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu on Friday (July 25, 2025) thanked India for its 'pivotal role' in helping the island nation deal with its economic crunch and liquidity challenges, and said he and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have 'charted a clear path' for future cooperation. Mr. Muizzu's statement came on the first day of Mr. Modi's two-day state visit to the Indian Ocean archipelago, following his visit to the United Kingdom. Following a steady reset in ties since October 2024 when President Muizzu visited India — following a serious strain in the preceding year after Mr. Muizzu's election — Mr. Modi's visit is seen as reflecting a significant improvement in India's relationship with a crucial neighbour. Maldives is an important part of India's 'neighbourhood first' policy, PM Modi said in his media statement in Male. In a social media post on the release of a stamp to mark 60 years of India-Maldives friendship, he said it commemorated 'a very cherished friendship'. Parliament Monsoon session: Differences between Oppn., govt. continue over holding debate on SIR of electoral rolls A meeting of senior political leaders with Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Friday (July 25, 2025) decided that the Lower House of Parliament would function smoothly as both the Houses are all set to take up the special discussion on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor next week. But Friday's meeting failed to break the deadlock over the Opposition's insistence on having a debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar's electoral rolls. From citing precedence, when former Speaker Balram Jhakhar had rejected a discussion on Election Commission (EC) to pointing out the autonomous status of the EC to asking which minister would reply on behalf of the EC, the government managers pointed out the problems in agreeing to a discussion on SIR. Lok Sabha to take up Justice Varma's removal Lok Sabha will take up a bipartisan motion to remove Justice Yashwant Varma, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said on Friday (July 25, 2025), adding that it was a unanimous decision of all political parties, and that 152 MPs from the ruling alliance and the Opposition have signed the motion. Mr. Rijiju said all parties had agreed that the removal of Justice Varma should be a joint call, adding that the proceedings will be taken up in Lok Sabha and then move to Rajya Sabha in line with the Judges (Inquiry) Act. 'We shouldn't remain in any doubt, proceedings will begin in the Lok Sabha,' he said. His remarks have to be seen in the backdrop of an Opposition-sponsored motion that was moved in the Rajya Sabha on July 21, the same day the process was set rolling in the Lok Sabha. Official sources said the notice in the Rajya Sabha has not been admitted. Vice-President election: ECI appoints Rajya Sabha Secretary General as Returning Officer The Election Commission of India has appointed Secretary General, Rajya Sabha, P.C. Mody as the Returning Officer for vice-presidential polls. By convention, the Secretary General, Lok Sabha or the Secretary General, Rajya Sabha is appointed as the Returning Officer, by rotation. Two other senior officers of the Lok Sabha/Rajya Sabha Secretariat are appointed as the Assistant Returning Officers. Garima Jain, Joint Secretary, Rajya Sabha Secretariat and Vijay Kumar, Director, Rajya Sabha Secretariat have been appointed as Assistant Returning Officers. On Wednesday, the poll body said it would announce the poll schedule 'as soon as possible'. Govt. silent on reforms to address judicial misconduct At a time when the government is seeking to remove Allahabad High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma after burnt currency notes were found at his official residence in Delhi this March, the Law Minister, while speaking in Parliament, did not specify the government's stance on legislative reforms regarding the Supreme Court's in-house procedure to address judicial misconduct. Responding to a question in Lok Sabha whether reforms were required in the top court's procedure, Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal only described the existing rules and regulations for removal of judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts and did not speak on the need for reforms. Apart from Justice Varma's case, questions on judicial integrity were raised by the Opposition when Allahabad High Court judge Justice Shekhar Yadav, last December, made veiled attacks on the Muslim community while speaking about Uniform Civil Code at a Vishwa Hindu Parishad event. The judge had said that the country would run as per the wishes of the 'majority'. The Opposition, across party lines, had objected to the speech and had demanded his removal. In the ongoing monsoon session of Parliament, CPI(M) MP John Brittas said that the integrity and transparency of the judiciary needed to be maintained. 'We are for the removal of Justice Varma. We have already expressed our desire to be part of that process,' he said. In brief: Eight years after witnessing a stand-off between Indian and Chinese troops, Sikkim's Doklam is set to open for tourists. Located 68 km east of the State capital, Gangtok, and at an altitude of 13,780 feet, Doklam is a plateau in the Chumbi Valley at the tri-junction of Bhutan, China, and India. It became a flashpoint in June 2017 when China attempted to build a road in territory claimed by Bhutan. The Evening Wrap will return tomorrow

Cabinet reshuffle on the cards: Maharashtra CM meets Amit Shah, other top BJP leaders in Delhi
MUMBAI: With a cabinet reshuffle on the cards, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday met Union Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah. The meeting between the two top BJP leaders, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister Amit Shah was held in Delhi and lasted for more than 20 minutes. Fadnavis also met BJP's national president and Union Minister J.P. Nadda, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and senior leader Manohar Lal Khattar. While the details of the meeting were not officially disclosed, sources said that the discussion focused on removing ministers in the Mahayuti government whose performance over the past six months has been unsatisfactory. Additionally, ministers whose departments have been in the news for corruption may also be dropped. The leadership reportedly wants to send a strong message to ministers who frequently stir controversy. According to sources, eight ministers from the Mahayuti alliance are likely to be removed. These include, Shiv Sena minister Sanjay Shirsat, whose bedroom video featuring a bag full of cash went viral. Agriculture Minister and NCP MLA Manikrao Kokate, who was caught on video playing online Junglee Rummy during the monsoon session of the Maharashtra Assembly. He has also repeatedly courted controversy by calling his own government "beggars" Shiv Sena ministers Sanjay Rathod, Bharat Gogawale, and Yogesh Kadam, NCP Minister Narhari Zirwa and Water Resources Minister and BJP MLA Girish Mahajan There is also speculation that State Assembly Speaker Rahul Narvekar, who is reportedly interested in a ministerial role, may be inducted into the cabinet. In that case, BJP MLA Sudhir Mungantiwar may be appointed as the new Speaker. Responding to the speculation, Narvekar said he would wait for official confirmation and preferred not to comment on media reports. He added that he has performed satisfactorily as Speaker and is ready to take on a new role if the party decides. Sources stated, 'CM Fadnavis and his team have been evaluating the performance of Mahayuti ministers over the last six months, along with the report cards of each department based on the 100-day action plan. The Chief Minister is keen to send a strong message that he will not tolerate inefficiency or misconduct. He expects seriousness and discipline from his ministers. Currently, the behavior of some ministers is tarnishing the image of the government and creating the impression that Mr. Fadnavis lacks control over his cabinet. A stern message is necessary ahead of the local body elections,' said a senior BJP leader, requesting anonymity. Meanwhile, regarding reports of NCP Minister Manikrao Kokate's resignation, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said that he would speak with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and a decision would be taken accordingly.
