Ranchi, State BJP president and Rajya Sabha MP Deepak Prakash on Monday said that on payment of dues to the farmers for selling their paddy is unfortunate. He said in the month of November 2020 the state government had started paddy procurement from the farmers but after a week due to the orders of Minister Rameshwar Oraon the procurement was stopped due to which farmers had to face lots of problems.
Prakash said due to the negligence of the state government either the paddy of the farmers got rotten or they were forced to sell of their produce to the middlemen on throw away prices. He said that new season of paddy sowing is set to commence in a week but the farmers are waiting for the payment of previous year.
Prakash said that BJP is standing with the farmers and across the state dharna will be staged to highlight the plight of the farmers. He said that Mahagathbandhan had promised loan wavier worth Rs 2 lakh for farmers alongwith free power but all these promises have now been set aside.

The kind of road that makes you believe, for a brief and generous moment, that India has arrived. Minister Nitin Gadkari has built an entire political identity around such photographs — and to be fair, he has earned some of it.

Temperature soared across the entire European continent in the latter half of June and early July. France, the Netherland and Belgium recorded 3700 excess human deaths and authorities warned that these numbers are preliminary and may even rise. People above 50 years of age accounted for larger proportion of the deaths. Several deaths are reported due to persons drowning in water bodies; those who did not know swimming also jumped in deep water to beat the heat and perished. Experts have found that the current heat waves in Europe is worst recorded in its history.
The contemporary struggle over religious monuments in India cannot be understood without revisiting the deeper historical questions that underlie it: the nature of “Hinduism” in the past, the evolution of temple architecture, the role of Buddhism under state patronage, and the present-day politicisation of Islamic-period monuments. Taken together, these questions reveal not only a contested past but also a deliberate project of mythmaking in the present, designed to forge a unified religious-national identity by cultivating hostility toward Muslims.
