A total of 24 patients including 12 infants died at a government hospital in Maharashtra’s Nanded in a time span of 24 hours.

Dr Wakode, the Dean of Doctor Shanakarrao Chavan Hospital, Nanded said six male and female infants have died in the last 24 hours, adding that 12 adults died due to various ailments like snake bites, phosphorous poisoning etc.

“People do come here from far-off areas. We usually get emergency and extremely critical cases in this hospital as there is no hospital available like us in the periphery of 70-80km. Due to transfers of various staff, there was some difficulty for us…we were supposed to buy medicines from Halfkin Institute but that also didn’t happen,” Wakode said pointing at the tertiary-level status of the hospital.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that he will seek more information on the incident, adding that, appropriate action will be taken in this regard.

    Shinde Slams Uddhav, Says No Difference Between Shiv Sena (UBT) and AIMIM

    Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Saturday said the Lok Sabha poll success of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) was like a flash in the pan which won’t be replicated in the upcoming assembly polls.

    Addressing the Dussehra rally of Shiv Sena at Azad Maidan ground in south Mumbai, Shinde likened the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) with the Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM, suggesting Muslim appeasement politics.

    “Maha Vikas Aghadhi’s Lok Sabha poll success in Maharashtra was accidental, not permanent. Shiv Sena won 7 seats in a direct fight against Sena (UBT) in the Lok Sabha elections, restricting them to six constituencies. This success shows we are the real Shiv Sena,” Shinde added.

    Recalling his rebellion against Uddhav Thackeray’s leadership in June 2022, Shinde said he freed the real Shiv Sena from the clutches of those who betrayed Balasaheb Thackeray’s ideals.

    Raising the issue of development, the Chief Minister alleged that during the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi government led by Uddhav Thackeray, developmental work was halted, including that of the Dharavi redevelopment project.

    “The development of Dharavi is an international project, but they even worked to stop that. We stand with the people of Dharavi. I request them not to pay attention to rumours. Mumbai should be made slum-free. We will resettle those who had left Mumbai back in the city. The decisions I am making have stopped their corrupt activities,” Shinde said.

    Bangladesh’s ‘India is Enemy’ Narrative May Lead to Alliance With Nuclear-Armed Pakistan: RSS Chief in Dussehra Speech

    Published

    on

    By


    The political instability in Bangladesh has triggered a dangerous narrative of India being the enemy and, coupled with Pakistan’s nuclear power, both nations may strike up a dangerous alliance and try to contain India, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Saturday in his Vijayadashmi speech as he emphasised how such a divisive propaganda not only undermines regional stability but also fuels hostility.

    Every year, Bhagwat’s Vijayadashami address is known to carry the most crucial directions from the Sangh head to the cadres and all affiliate organisations. In Nagpur, the RSS chief was joined by Dr Koppillil Radhakrishnan, former chairperson of ISRO and the chief guest for the event.

    Condemning the recent violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, Bhagwat said: “What unfolded in Bangladesh may have immediate causes, but the underlying issue is the repeated atrocities against Hindus. For the first time, Hindus united to protect themselves, but as long as this radical violence persists, not just Hindus, but all minorities are at risk. They need global Hindu support and India’s government must step in. Being weak invites atrocity. Wherever we are, we must be united and empowered — weakness is not an option.”

    He added: “As long as the tyrannical fundamentalist nature exists in Bangladesh, the sword of danger will hang over the heads of not only Hindus, but all minority communities. Unprovoked brutal atrocities on the Hindu community residing in Bangladesh were repeated. A specific narrative is in circulation in Bangladesh about India being an anti-Bangladesh force. They say that Pakistan is their real friend. Since Pakistan has nuclear powers, a combination of Pakistan-Bangladesh may deal with India and try to contain it. The country that received full support in its creation is now encouraging such a narrative against Bharat.”

    Bhagwat warned that India’s rise is being challenged by forces attempting to create alliances based on fear and aggression. However, these attempts will fail as India continues to stand strong, united, and prepared to face any threat.

    Cultural Marxism, Wokism Exist

    Noting that “being weak is a crime”, Bhagwat said: “If we are divided and disorganised, we invite trouble. Unity, empowerment, and support are essential to protect ourselves and all these vulnerable groups.”

    He added: “Foreign forces with vested interests seek to destabilise India’s progress. Deep state conspiracies, cultural Marxism, and woke ideologies infiltrate institutions — be it educational, environmental, or societal — aiming to control the narrative and undermine India’s cultural integrity.”

    “It’s critical to recognise that narratives are often manipulated to serve selfish agendas. This distortion is visible globally, but especially resonates within India’s neighbourhood, where instability spills over.”

    The RSS chief also said: “The recent turmoil in Bangladesh is a stark reminder of how external influences continue to fuel religious violence, with Hindus repeatedly becoming targets of atrocities. The foreign force that wants to hurt India’s global interest, destabilise its interest is spreading and funding such radicalism, particularly in the neighbouring countries. It is intended to pose a significant threat not just to Hindus, but to all minorities.”

    He said: “The Western forces which talk about and promote global friendship before the whole world are conspiring behind the backs of many such developing nations. There may have been reasons behind the political uprising in Bangladesh but it would have never taken such a shape had there not been outside support, motivation and planning.”

    India must remain vigilant as enemies of tradition and nationhood are not only external but also find local allies who push anarchist and separatist agendas, he added. Bhagwat’s words echo the need for strength, pointing out that even divine forces do not protect the weak. “It is time to rise united, ensuring that India’s progress is safeguarded against forces that attempt to derail it.”

    Several other important political and business personalities were present at the event, including Sajjan Jindal and Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. Vaishnaw, however, left to look into a train crash after 12 coaches of Mysuru-Darbhanga Bagmati Superfast Express derailed following collision with a stationary goods train near Chennai on Friday night.

    ‘RG Kar Incident A Disgrace’

    In a culture that upholds ‘Maatrivat Paradaareshu’ (seeing all women as mothers), incidents like the rape of a junior doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital are a stain on Indian society, said Bhagwat, adding, “The dilly-dally attitude of the state government, in a way its efforts to shield the culprits, expose the dangerous nexus of crime, politics, and a poisonous culture. We must reclaim our values and stand firm against this moral decay.”

    The distorted propaganda and decay of values spread by various institutions is corrupting the minds, words, and deeds of Bharat’s younger generation, he said. “Children now have unchecked access to mobile phones and are consuming indecent content with no oversight. There is an urgent need for legal control over harmful ads and perverse visuals in our homes and society,” Bhagwat pointed out.

    “The rise of drug addiction is hollowing our society from within, and we must revive values that promote virtue,” he added.

    The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is all set to form a government for the third consecutive term in Haryana with an oath-taking ceremony for Nayab Singh Saini as Chief Minister on October 17.

    The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is all set to form a government for the third consecutive term in Haryana with an oath-taking ceremony for Nayab Singh Saini as Chief Minister on October 17.

    Union Minister and former Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar said, “We have received the nod of the PM that on October 17, in Panchkula, the CM and council of ministers will take oath.”

    A 10-member committee headed by the Panchkula District Commissioner has been formed by the chief secretary to take care of the oath-taking ceremony arrangements.

    Nayab Singh Saini had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior BJP leaders in Delhi on Wednesday ahead of his likely swearing-in as the head of the new dispensation in the state following the party’s win in the assembly polls.

    On Thursday, Saini also met the Union minister and the BJP’s election in-charge for Haryana, Dharmendra Pradhan, in the national capital.

    The BJP had indicated during the elections that Saini, who replaced Manohar Lal Khattar as chief minister in March and hails from the Other Backward Classes, will be its choice for the top post if it wins.

    In the assembly elections, the party recorded its best-ever haul of 48 seats, 11 more than the Congress. The JJP and the AAP were decimated and the INLD managed to win just two seats.

    Eight out of 10 ministers in the outgoing Saini cabinet faced defeat in the Haryana assembly polls. The two who won were Mahipal Dhanda and Mool Chand Sharma from Panipat Rural and Ballabhgarh seats respectively.

    Both Dhanda, who comes from the Jat community, and Sharma, a senior leader and a Brahmin face, are among the ministerial probables in the new government, sources said.

    Haryana can have a maximum of 14 ministers, including the chief minister.
