MUMBAI: Tensions have escalated within Maharashtra's ruling coalition as Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar rejected the controversial "batenge toh katenge" slogan, coined by BJP campaigner Yogi Adityanath, arguing it is unsuitable for the state. His dismissal prompted a sharp response from BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, who accused Pawar of clinging to outdated ideologies and failing to grasp public sentiment. Fadnavis emphasized that the slogan’s message of unity is misunderstood by Pawar and his former allies, who historically opposed Hindutva. The slogan has also caused discomfort among other BJP leaders, including Pankaja Munde and Ashok Chavan, who expressed their disapproval. As Maharashtra prepares for elections on November 20, the opposition is capitalizing on these divisions, challenging the BJP to reconcile the conflicting messages from its leaders. Votes will be counted on November 23.

Published: Nov 15 2024, 2 pmeznews.inA buffalo named Anmol, valued at Rs 23 crore, is captivating audiences at agricultural fairs across India, including the Pushkar Mela and the All-India Farmers' Fair in Meerut. Weighing 1,500 kg, Anmol's impressive size and pedigree have made it a social media sensation. Its owner, Gill, spends around Rs 1,500 daily on a specialized diet that includes almonds, bananas, pomegranates, milk, and eggs, ensuring Anmol's health and readiness for exhibitions.

Despite lucrative offers to sell Anmol, Gill considers the buffalo a family member and has no plans to part with it, even having sold its mother and sister to cover maintenance costs.
Published: Nov 15 2024, 1 pmeznews.inNASA's Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a captivating phenomenon involving the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a dwarf galaxy 20 times the apparent diameter of the full Moon, which is losing much of its mass due to its interaction with the Milky Way. Described by Andrew Fox of the European Space Agency as a "giant hairdryer," the Milky Way's gravitational forces are stripping away the LMC's gaseous halo, creating a comet-like wake. Although the LMC is not in orbit but merely passing by, its closest approach has significantly diminished its halo. Despite this loss, researchers assert that the LMC remains resilient, with enough gas to continue forming new stars. At 10% the mass of the Milky Way, the LMC's relatively larger size has allowed it to retain its structure, unlike smaller dwarf galaxies that would have succumbed to such gravitational forces.

This change coincides with the 150th birth anniversary of the prominent freedom fighter and tribal leader, Bhagwan Birsa Munda. Khattar emphasized that the renaming aims to inspire both residents and visitors at the nearby International Bus Stand by honoring Munda's legacy. Earlier in the day, a statue of Munda was unveiled by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Khattar, and Delhi LG VK Saxena. Munda, a key figure in the Indian tribal freedom struggle, led the Ulgulan rebellion against British rule, advocating for land rights among the Munda tribe in the Chotanagpur region. He founded the Birsait faith and was affectionately known as 'Dharti Aba' or 'father of the earth,' passing away at the young age of 25.
Published: Nov 15 2024, 1 pmeznews.inA 72-year-old retired engineer in Rohini, New Delhi, was defrauded of over Rs 10 crore after being held on "digital arrest" for eight hours at his home. The incident began when he received a call about a parcel from Taiwan, allegedly containing banned drugs, which had been intercepted at Mumbai airport. The caller, claiming to be a police official, instructed him to download Skype for a video call, during which he was coerced into transferring the funds to various accounts. Police have since filed an FIR through the Cyber Cell and the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) wing, managing to freeze Rs 60 lakh of the embezzled amount. Authorities suspect the perpetrators are based abroad, with local accomplices aiding in the scam. The victim's family reported the incident to police in early October after he disclosed the situation to them, amid threats to his children living overseas.
Published: Nov 15 2024, 12 pmeznews.inMaharashtra's assembly elections on November 20 will determine the future of 288 seats, with Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar acknowledging a misstep in fielding his wife, Sunetra Pawar, against cousin Supriya Sule in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where Sule won by over 1.5 lakh votes. Pawar emphasized his focus on campaigning for the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) within the Mahayuti alliance, despite pressures from partners like the BJP and Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena to join broader campaigns. He highlighted the prevalence of nepotism across political parties, arguing that ultimately, voters decide based on candidates' capabilities. Confident in his own candidacy, Pawar asserted he would "100 per cent" secure his seat, contrasting the upcoming elections with the Lok Sabha results where the Mahavikas Aghadi alliance outperformed Mahayuti. The elections will see the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP facing off against the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP factions.

He criticized the previous Uddhav Thackeray-led government for allegedly stalling crucial projects, claiming the Mahayuti alliance has revitalized initiatives like the Coastal Road and Nagpur-Mumbai expressway. Shinde accused Thackeray of betraying the ideological roots of Shiv Sena's founder, Bal Thackeray, and asserted his government’s commitment to local issues and accessibility. Addressing the contentious Maratha reservation issue, Shinde defended his administration's reinstatement of a 10% quota after the MVA government failed to protect it. He also dismissed allegations of misusing agencies, alleging that the former government targeted political opponents. Shinde emphasized his goal of uplifting marginalized communities while positioning himself as a "common man's Chief Minister" in contrast to his predecessors. Counting for the elections will occur three days after the polls.
