I Want To Succeed For India In All Formats And Win ICC Titles: Gill
Arun Jaitley Stadium: After the Tests against the West Indies to the end of the all-format series against South Africa, Shubman Gill will be constantly playing in all formats for India either as the captain in Tests and ODIs or vice-captain in T20Is. Once the series against West Indies is over, Gill will be hopping on a gruelling schedule having just four days (or more, if the game finishes early in New Delhi), the right-handed batter will be on a travel grind that comes with hopping between cities and countries. From October 15, when the Indian team leaves for white-ball tour of Australia to December 19, when the all-format series against South Africa is over, Gill will be constantly on the move. After leading India in the ODIs against Australia, Gill will be playing five T20Is in the country. Once that is done, he will be back in India to lead in two Tests and three ODIs against South Africa, before the five-match T20I series against the same opposition comes. At 26, Gill is not just Indias newly appointed ODI captain and Test skipper on the rise - hes also the only all-format specialist batter in the current setup. One of the problems of seeing this schedule for the next six weeks on paper is the physical and mental toll it will take on Gill, and how can he avoid burnouts. But true to his determined style, Gill said hes willing to go through this workload challenge in a bid to succeed in his aim of playing and succeeding in all formats for India and winning ICC titles. Physically, most of the time, I feel fine. But sometimes, yes, there is mental fatigue because when you are constantly playing, there is obviously a certain expectation that I have for myself. To be able to keep up with my own expectations sometimes becomes a challenge. But I think that's the challenge - to be able to play all the formats for India. I want to play all the formats and I want to succeed in all the formats for the country and win ICC titles. So if I want to do that, then this is the challenge that I have to go through, said Gill in the pre-match press conference, ahead of the second Test against the West Indies, starting at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday. Life since May has been on an upswing for Gill being handed Test teams captaincy was followed by shift to number four and 754 runs on the five-match tour of England, ending in a 2-2 draw. With the elevation to ODI captaincy and previous experience of being an IPL captain for Gujarat Titans, Gill stated hes well aware of the nuances each format demands, especially when it comes to captaincy. I feel in Test matches, the better team does come on top at the end of the day, because you have got more chances and more opportunities to make a comeback. Whereas in T20, if you have 3-4 overs of bad period, there might be a case that you are completely taken away from the game. So it is different in that sense. When you are playing a Test match there, whenever a team wins a particular Test match, the team deserves to win it because they played better cricket not for 2-3 hours or not for one day, but consistently over a period of 3-4 or 5 days. So the challenge is to stay on top for 5 days in a Test match. That is more difficult than captaining in a T20 game. Whereas in a T20 game, you get off to a really good start, and then you maintain that. Then you are sort of able to be on top of the game for the entirety of the game. But in a Test match, you can be on top for 2 days. But if you don't turn up on day 3, the other team can make the comeback, he elaborated. Gills working relationship with head coach Gautam Gambhir has also been a focal point of the transition. The duo has been tasked with shaping the squads direction, especially with a shared keenness of grooming fast bowlers for future challenges. Our relation is really good. It's very simple actually. We always try to have conversations around how we can make the players feel more secure, and what kind of combinations that we can play. We sort of want to look at 15-18 member squad where we are constantly picking players from that bunch and squad. One of the key things that we discuss is how we can build our fast bowlers. We have a pool of good fast bowlers and we want to be able to keep grooming them so that they get enough opportunities to come whenever we bowl. Our relation is really good. It's very simple actually. We always try to have conversations around how we can make the players feel more secure, and what kind of combinations that we can play. We sort of want to look at 15-18 member squad where we are constantly picking players from that bunch and squad. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score I don't think your intensity drops down depending on your position. It doesn't matter who we are playing. We want to be able to play at our own intensity. When you're playing for India, you don't need external motivation to be able to up your intensity. It doesn't matter if you're playing West Indies, Bangladesh, Australia or England. We want to be able to play at our own intensity and maintain our own standards, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

KOCHI: Coming down heavily on the central government for its stand that there would be no loan waiver for the Wayanad landslide victims, the Kerala High Court on Wednesday orally observed that the Centre has failed the people of Kerala. Enough is enough. We don't need the central governments charity. This is just bureaucratic babble. Its not about whether the central government can act, but whether they are willing to act. If you are unwilling to act, we (the Bench) dare to say it. Who are you trying to fool? remarked the court. In its affidavit, the central government stated that there is no provision for granting loan waivers in cases of natural disasters. A Division Bench comprising Justice A.K. Jayasankaran Nambiar and Justice Jobin Sebastian suo motu impleaded 12 banks in the case, including the State Bank of India, and directed that any recovery action initiated by these banks against the Wayanad landslide victims shall be kept in abeyance until the final disposal of the writ petition. The court also took note of newspaper reports stating that the central government had approved Rs 707 crore for Gujarat and Assam, which were affected by floods and landslides in 2024. One could understand if the Union Executive did not have the funds. Let us hope we dont reach that stage where the Union of India is helpless and in penury, unable to assist any particular State, the court observed. The newspaper report stated that a High-Level Committee had approved Rs 707.97 crore of additional central assistance to the states of Assam and Gujarat, which were affected by floods and landslides during 2024. Neither these floods nor the landslides were classified as severe, and yet Rs 707 crore was allocated to them. It doesnt end there. The same committee also approved Rs 903.67 crore to Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan under the NDRF for the expansion and modernisation of fire services. If they have the courage, let them say they are not willing to help. But at the very least, the people should know that in times like this, the Union Government has failed the people at least of this State. This is deeply disturbing, the Bench observed. During the hearing, the counsel for the central government submitted that the Ministry of Home Affairs is limited in its involvement with the commercial transactions of banks, as these are regulated by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines. In response, the court asked: The Union of India has limitations because of an RBI circular? In relation to the Union of India, what is the Reserve Bank? Affidavits filed by bureaucrats often fail to grasp the legal significance of what transpires within Constitutional institutions. We have made it very clearthis is not a case where the Union is powerless to act; it is a matter of whether the Union is willing to act. Through this affidavit, you have again demonstrated that by hiding behind the argument of powerlessness, you are essentially saying that you choose not to act. Why is that being done? The affidavit states that you cannot do this. But that simply reflects an unwillingness to act on the part of the Union of India. If there is an unwillingness to act, then have the courage to say sodont hide behind a supposed lack of power. Anyone who reads the Constitution should be able to see this clearly. Who are you trying to fool? The Bench further observed: Our sense of Constitutional morality requires us to respect the principle of separation of powers, and therefore, we will not issue directions to the Union Government. That is not due to any lack of authority, but because of our magnanimityas a Constitutional body and integral part of the State that respects the Constitution. Enough is enough. We do not need the Unions charity. The court further directed the banks to file affidavits explaining whether they are willing to waive, either wholly or partially, the loans availed by the landslide victims in Wayanad. If they are not willing to do so, the banks must provide a justification with reference to the terms of the loan agreements for seeking repaymentalong with interestduring the pendency of these proceedings. The court noted that, exasperating though the situation may be, its commitment to constitutional morality requires respect for the principle of separation of powers as envisaged under the Constitution. Therefore, it must defer to the Union Governments decisions in matters of economic policy. We therefore refrain from issuing any directions to the Union Government regarding how it should exercise its discretion. However, as an integral part of the 'State' under the Constitution, and as a guardian of the fundamental rights of the people, we cannot remain mute spectators to the Shylockian methods being employed by the concerned banks to recover the loans they have advanced, the Bench observed.
Minor girl gang-raped over three days in Gujarat
AHMEDABAD: Six men have been arrested for the gang rape of a 15-year-old girl over three days in Visnagar city, Mehsana district. The incident began on October 4 around 9:30 pm, when the victim went out for a walk. Vijay Thakor and Pavan Thakor forcibly took her to an isolated location on Sevaliya Road, where they sexually assaulted her along with Raj Thakor and another accomplice. After being dropped near a city tower, Soham Thakor picked her up on his scooter and took her to Pavan Thakor's office, where she was assaulted again by Pavan and Raj Thakor. The ordeal continued when Prakash Modi and another man approached her near School, claiming to take her home. Modi then held her captive at his residence until Monday, October 6, repeatedly assaulting her. The victim's family searched during her disappearance. Upon returning home on Monday, she initially remained silent but revealed the horrific details on Tuesday night. Visnagar Police immediately registered cases under abduction, rape, and POCSO Act provisions. All six accused Vijay Ashokji Thakor, Pawanji Diwanji Thakor, Raj Thakor, Sohamji Sureshji Thakor, Makwana Devang, and Modi Prakash were swiftly apprehended. Citizens are demanding maximum punishment for the perpetrators.

Telangana Govt bans use of two adulterated cough syrups
Diethylene Glycol (DEG), a toxic substance, has been found in Relife and Respifresh TR manufactured by Gujarat-based companies
A seven-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) from Madhya Pradesh, led by an Assistant Commissioner of Police, conducted a probe at the factory of a drug manufacturer near Chennai on Wednesday to investigate the deaths of 20 children in Madhya Pradesh allegedly caused by contaminated cough syrup. The SIT later visited the companys registered office in Chennai to gather documents and CCTV footage. Officials said the factory owner had left the premises three days earlier. The Tamil Nadu police assisted the SIT during the inspections. The pharmaceutical company, based in Chennai, had supplied the cough syrup Coldrif to markets in Puducherry, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and other states. Earlier, the Tamil Nadu government had sealed the pharmaceutical factory in Kancheepuram district on Tuesday evening. Madhya Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla said on October 7 that 20 children had died from kidney failure after consuming the syrup. Tests conducted by the Tamil Nadu Food Safety and Drug Administration found the samples from the factory to be adulterated, following which production was ordered to stop immediately. Five children remain critical after contaminated cough syrup claims 20 lives The state government also banned the sale of Coldrif from October 1 and directed that all stocks be removed from the market. The company has not yet issued any statement. 'Public alert - stop use notice' against two cough syrups in Telangana Meanwhile, the Telangana Drugs Control Administration issued a public alert stop use notice for two other syrups -- Relife and Respifresh TR -- manufactured by Gujarat-based firms, after laboratory tests in Madhya Pradesh detected the toxic chemical Diethylene Glycol (DEG). Authorities urged the public to stop using these products and report them to local drug control offices. The incident came to light after six children, aged between one and seven, from different parts of the Parasia area (also known as Koylanchal for its coal mining activity), died from kidney-related complications after consuming adulterated cough syrup. The children initially suffered from cold and mild fever. Local doctors prescribed routine medications, including cough syrups. After taking the medicines, the children initially appeared to recover, but within days their symptoms returned, accompanied by a sharp decline in urine output. Dr Praveen Soni , who prescribed the syrup to kids in Madhya Pradesh, has been arrested on charges of negligence. However, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) defended Soni , arguing that systemic lapses by the pharmaceutical company and regulatory authorities also contributed to the tragedy. The IMA has demanded strict action against those responsible for the deaths linked to contaminated cough syrup, compensation for affected families, and support for the doctor. It criticised the poor drug regulations and mishandling of the case. Tests suggest the syrup contained toxic chemicals and was wrongly sold for children under four. The Madhya Pradesh government has suspended two drug inspectors and a deputy director, and transferred the state drug controller. The Union Health Ministry found one of ten syrup samples failed quality tests and has launched inspections in six states. Several states, including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, have banned Coldrif syrup and seized contaminated batches. The Punjab and Himachal Pradesh governments have also banned the sale, distribution and use of Coldrif cough syrup. Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh have started safety drives and surveys, while opposition parties have demanded accountability and a judicial probe into the regulatory lapses behind the tragedy. A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court demanding a CBI probe and sweeping reforms in Indias drug safety framework following the incident. (With inputs from PTI)

AHMEDABAD: Former Gujarat Assembly Speaker and senior BJP leader Ramanlal Vora is once again embroiled in controversy after a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat allegedly linked to him went viral. The message, reportedly from a party group, referred to doing a Visavadar-wali, a phrase widely interpreted within BJP circles as an allusion to anti-party activity. The phrase refers to the Visavadar Assembly by-election, where the BJP had suffered defeat at the hands of the Aam Aadmi Party amid internal rifts and factionalism. The message was circulated in the context of the unfulfilled demand for the formation of Jadar taluka, sparking a political storm within the Sabarkantha unit of the BJP. As the controversy gained traction, Vora issued a clarification denying any disloyalty or negative remarks against the party. Vora admitted that the phone number and chat belonged to him, but maintained that the message was part of a conspiracy to defame him. I have never made any negative statements about the BJP. Since 2022, a false narrative has been running against me, and even a few within the BJP are behind it, he claimed. He further demanded that the state government should investigate the matter thoroughly and distinguish truth from falsehood. However, Vora did not explain how or by whom the message was circulated. This is not the first time the veteran leader has faced controversy. Earlier, party workers from Gandhinagar had accused him of illegally acquiring agricultural land despite not being a registered farmer, only to transfer the lands to his sons later. Several BJP members had called for a transparent probe into the alleged land deal. The repeated controversies surrounding Vora have raised questions within the party about internal discipline and factional politics, particularly at a time when the BJP is preparing for upcoming local and state-level electoral challenges.

CCEA nod to 4 multi-tracking railway projects
NEW DELHI: The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday approved four major railway multi-tracking projects worth Rs 24,634 crore, spanning nearly 900 km across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Chhattisgarh.The projects are expected to be completed by 2030-31 and are designed to ease congestion, boost freight capacity, and enhance connectivity across 18 districts in these states. The decision is seen as major infrastructure push under the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, aimed at integrating rail development with multi-modal connectivity and improving logistical efficiency. The government expects the additional rail capacity to bring wide-ranging economic and environmental benefits. Briefing reporters after the cabinet meeting, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the new projects would significantly enhance Indian Railways operational efficiency and reliability. The increased line capacity will significantly improve mobility, resulting in improved operational efficiency and service reliability for Indian Railways, he said. The four projects include construction of third and fourth rail lines between Wardha and Bhusawal (314 route km) in Maharashtra, fourth line between Gondia and Dongargarh (84 km), cutting across Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, two lines between Vadodara and Ratlam (259 km), spanning Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh and one between Itarsi, Bhopal, and Bina (237 km) in Madhya Pradesh. Together, the projects will expand the Indian Railways network by approximately 894 route kilometres and are expected to ease movement along high-density corridors. The rail corridors covered are crucial for both passenger and freight movement and will reduce delays caused by capacity constraints. The Railway Minister said that the four projects will improve connectivity to 3,633 villages with a total population of about 85.84 lakh, including two Aspirational DistrictsVidisha in Madhya Pradesh and Rajnandgaon in Chhattisgarh. These infrastructure upgrades are aligned with the Prime Ministers vision of a self-reliant India (Atmanirbhar Bharat) and are expected to create significantemployment and self-employment opportunities in the region, Vaishnaw added. The projects will also facilitate access to key tourism and heritage sites such as Sanchi, Satpura Tiger Reserve, Bhimbetka Rock Shelters, Hazara Falls, and Navegaon National Parkall important destinations that currently face logistical bottlenecks. The newly sanctioned lines are projected to handle additional freight traffic of 78 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), including key commodities like coal, cement, fly ash, steel, food grains, and containers. Vaishnaw also stressed the green benefits of railway expansion over road transport. The projects are expected to cut Indias oil imports by 28 crore litres and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 139 crore kilogramsequivalent to planting around six crore trees. The capacity augmentation has been formulated under the PM Gati Shakti framework, which promotes integrated planning across ministries.
Great blessing from people, says PM Modi on 25 years as head of govts
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday celebrated his 25th year in office, having served as the chief minister of Gujarat and now as the prime minister of India, describing the accomplishment as a great blessing to me from the people of India. On October 7, 2001, Modi was administered the oath of office as the 14th chief minister of Gujarat. He relinquished the chair and took the oath as prime minister on May 26, 2014. Modi took to X to share his journey, saying, On this day in 2001, I was sworn in as CM of Gujarat for the first time. Today, as head of government, I enter my 25th year of serving the people, who are like God. This accomplishment in a democratic system is a great blessing to me from the people of India. Recalling the circumstances under which he first took office, he said Gujarat was facing enormous difficultiesa massive earthquake, a super cyclone, successive droughts, and political instability. Those challenges strengthened the resolve to serve people and rebuild Gujarat with renewed vigour and hope, he said. He also remembered his mothers words when he first became CM: I do not have much understanding of your work, but I only seek two things. First, you will always work for the poor, and second, you will never take a bribe. He added, When I took the oath of CM, I remember my mother telling me... I also told the people that whatever I do will be with the best intent and will be inspired by a vision to serve the very last person in the queues. Modi reflected on Gujarats transformation under his leadership. Every single day, every single moment over these years, I have dedicated myself to improving the lives of my countryman and working towards their development. It is my good fortune to have received the continued love of all of you, he said. Referring to his national role, he described the state of India when he became PM in 2014: The then UPA government was synonymous with the worst form of corruption, cronyism, and policy paralysis. India was seen as a weak link in the global order. But, the wisdom of the people of India gave our alliance a thumping majority and also ensured that our party got an absolute majority, a first after 3 long decades. He highlighted the progress India has made, lifting over 25 crore people out of poverty and empowering women, youth, and farmers. Emphasizing self-reliance, he invoked the call, Garv Se Kaho, Yeh Swadeshi Hai. Modi reaffirmed his commitment to the nation: With the values of our Constitution as my constant guide, I will work even harder in the times to come to realise our collective dream of a Viksit Bharat.

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The health department has banned the sale and distribution of all medicines manufactured by Sresan Pharmaceuticals, a Kanchipuram-based company behind the deadly cough syrup, in the state. The decision comes in the wake of licence cancellation proceedings initiated by the Tamil Nadu Drugs Controller against the company, said Health Minister Veena George.

Cabinet nod for Rs 24,634 crore multi-tracking Railway projects across four states
NEW DELHI: The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday approved four major railway multi-tracking projects worth Rs 24,634 crore, spanning nearly 900 km across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Chhattisgarh.The projects are expected to be completed by 2030-31 and are designed to ease congestion, boost freight capacity, and enhance connectivity across 18 districts in these states. The decision is seen as major infrastructure push under the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, aimed at integrating rail development with multi-modal connectivity and improving logistical efficiency. The government expects the additional rail capacity to bring wide-ranging economic and environmental benefits. Briefing reporters after the cabinet meeting, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the new projects would significantly enhance Indian Railways' operational efficiency and reliability. The increased line capacity will significantly improve mobility, resulting in improved operational efficiency and service reliability for Indian Railways, he said. The four projects include construction of third and fourth rail lines between Wardha and Bhusawal (314 route km) in Maharashtra, fourth line between Gondia and Dongargarh (84 km), cutting across Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, two lines between Vadodara and Ratlam (259 km), spanning Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh and one between Itarsi, Bhopal, and Bina (237 km) in Madhya Pradesh. Together, the projects will expand the Indian Railways network by approximately 894 route kilometres and are expected to ease movement along high-density corridors. The rail corridors covered are crucial for both passenger and freight movement and will reduce delays caused by capacity constraints. The Railway Minister said that the four projects will improve connectivity to 3,633 villages with a total population of about 85.84 lakh, including two Aspirational DistrictsVidisha in Madhya Pradesh and Rajnandgaon in Chhattisgarh. These infrastructure upgrades are aligned with the Prime Ministers vision of a self-reliant India (Atmanirbhar Bharat) and are expected to create significant employment and self-employment opportunities in the region, Vaishnaw added. The projects will also facilitate access to key tourism and heritage sites such as Sanchi, Satpura Tiger Reserve, Bhimbetka Rock Shelters, Hazara Falls, and Navegaon National Parkall important destinations that currently face logistical bottlenecks. The newly sanctioned lines are projected to handle additional freight traffic of 78 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), including key commodities like coal, cement, fly ash, steel, food grains, and containers. Vaishnaw also stressed the green benefits of railway expansion over road transport. Indian Railways, being an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly transport system, will help reduce dependence on fossil fuels, he said. The projects are expected to cut Indias oil imports by 28 crore litres and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 139 crore kilogramsequivalent to planting around six crore trees. The capacity augmentation has been formulated under the PM Gati Shakti framework, which promotes integrated planning across ministries. The aim is to provide seamless movement of goods and people through coordinated infrastructure development. The approval is also seen as one of the most significant recent investments in Indian Railways network expansion strategy which is expected to play a critical role in achieving the countrys broader economic and sustainability goals.

BJP MP, MLA clash over AAP legislator's padyatra in Gujarat
AHMEDABAD: A padyatra taken out by Aam Admi Party (AAP) MLA Chaitar Vasava over a local road issue has triggered a war of words between senior BJP MP Mansukh Vasava and Nandod BJP MLA Darshanaben Deshmukh in the party's South Gujarat unit. The controversy began when Dediapada MLA Chaitar Vasava held a padyatra on Monday, demanding the construction of an asphalt road to Junaraj. Instead of uniting the BJP behind a development issue, the event ignited internal discord. Senior BJP MP Mansukh Vasava held a press conference accusing MLA Darshanaben Deshmukh of covertly supporting the AAP leader and attempting to woo him into the BJP fold. Mansukh Vasava went further, alleging that people like Darshanaben are trying to save Chaitar, even though the AAP MLA has faced 19 criminal cases. He claimed that BJP leaders such as Ghanshyam Patel, Prakash Desai, and Jhagadia MLA Ritesh Vasava had earlier made similar attempts to bring Chaitar into the party. If Chaitar ever joins the BJP, he will only damage it, the MP warned, calling the episode a dangerous sign of internal sabotage. Darshanaben Deshmukh, however, dismissed Mansukhbhais charges as baseless and hit back sharply. BJP MP Mansukh Vasava Darshanaben said, I dont want to give any explanation about that. She called Chaitar Vasavas padyatra a drama for publicity, asserting that an elected MLA should know the forest departments regulations. She accused the Aam Aadmi Party of misleading people and filing fake RTIs to stir up issues and even alleged that the AAP district president had encroached on government land. While she sidestepped questions about BJPs internal conflict, her defensive stance only intensified speculation of infighting. Meanwhile, AAP MLA Chaitar Vasava broke his silence, calling Mansukh Vasavas allegations fabricated and politically motivated. He clarified that neither Darshanaben nor any BJP leader had ever supported him and challenged Mansukhbhai to present proof. He maintained that all-party coordination meetings on local issues were routine administrative processes, not political alliances. Chaitar Vasava further escalated pressure on the administration by giving a 15-day ultimatum to start the road work, warning that he would personally meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 31 if the demand remained unmet.

Congress summons its top Gujarat leaders to Delhi for an urgent strategy session
AHMEDABAD: The Congress high command has sounded an alarm over growing infighting in the Gujarat Congress and summoned its top leadership to Delhi for an urgent strategy session. State president Amit Chavda, along with Assembly Opposition leader Tushar Chaudhary, has already reached the national capital for a high-stakes meeting at the Congress headquarters. Convened under the supervision of All India Congress Committee General Secretary K.C. Venugopal, the meeting is expected to take a deep dive into two pressing issues: the widening internal rift among Gujarat Congress leaders and the long-delayed restructuring of the state-level organisation. Party insiders hint that Rahul Gandhi is likely to attend the deliberations, adding weight to the discussions. Sources indicate that the meeting will review the ongoing signature campaign against alleged electoral malpractice. The campaign is held as a nationwide movement initiated by the Congress, now being actively driven in Gujarat. Gujarat Congress spokesperson Hiren Banker confirmed that the meeting will evaluate the campaigns progress and examine the parallel organisational renewal drive launched under Rahul Gandhis direction. Gujarat Congress spokesperson Hiren Banker said, The nationwide signature campaign against vote theft is being actively carried out in Gujarat. The Delhi meeting will review the progress of this campaign and assess the status of the organisational restructuring drive launched by Rahul Gandhi in the State. Alongside, discussions will also be held on several key appointments that are still pending within the party organisation. Adding to the agenda, the central leadership is also expected to finalise several pending appointments within the State unit. Gujarat in-charge Mukul Wasnik has been specifically directed to attend, signalling Delhis intent to restore order within the fractious state organisation. The latest flashpoint traces back to a recent training camp for new district and city Congress presidents, where internal differences among regional leaders came to light. The infighting, reportedly flagged by Rahul Gandhi himself, has now prompted the leadership to demand accountability. In what could reshape the power balance in the Gujarat Congress, a detailed report card evaluating the performance of key state leaders has been prepared. This performance audit is expected to form the basis for crucial decisions regarding who stays and who goes away in the upcoming restructured Pradesh Congress Committee. Todays Delhi huddle, therefore, is not just another routine review it is a make-or-break moment for Gujarat Congress, as it struggles to project unity and readiness ahead of the upcoming electoral cycles.

Gujarat government cracks down on two pharmaceutical companies amid cough syrup scare
The Gujarat government has cracked down on two pharmaceutical companies after multiple cough syrup samples manufactured in the state were found to be Not of Standard Quality (NSQ). 16 children died from kidney failure in Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, allegedly linked to toxic cough syrups. Alarming reports from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan raised concerns about drug safety and regulatory vigilance. Investigations by the Gujarat Food and Drug Department revealed that two Gujarat-made syrups, Re-Life and Respifresh TR, are Not of Standard Quality. Both syrups were manufactured in Gujarat Re-Life by M/s Shape Pharma Pvt. Ltd. in Surendranagars Muli taluka, and Respifresh TR by M/s Rednex Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd. in Ahmedabads Bavla taluka. Health Minister Hrishikesh Patel confirmed the sweeping action, stating, The Gujarat government will ensure that not a single unsafe bottle remains in circulation. FDCA officials have been directed to monitor the process till the last bottle is withdrawn. The Food and Drug Control Authority (FDCA) has imposed a blanket ban on the sale, supply, and distribution of both syrups. Distributors, wholesalers, and retailers are now under strict watch, with Assistant Commissioners tasked to oversee the recall and submit daily progress reports to the Joint Commissioner (Drugs). To prevent further risk, the government has also ordered a comprehensive probe into all cough syrup producers in Gujarat. There are currently 624 licensed oral liquid manufacturers operating across the state, many of whom supply products both domestically and nationally. Between October 3 and 5, the FDCA, in collaboration with the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), conducted risk-based joint inspections of Shape Pharma and Rednex Pharmaceuticals. During the operation, 14 additional syrup samples, three from Shape and eleven from Rednex, were seized and sent to government laboratories for detailed chemical analysis. Action will follow once test results are confirmed. Minister Patel stressed that the states priority is public health and patient safety, asserting that the FDCA has issued strict instructions to all district drug commissioners to conduct intense inspections of every oral liquid and cough syrup unit in their jurisdiction. He added, The Gujarat government will leave no loophole when it comes to the safety, quality, and efficacy of medicines. Every firm in violation will face decisive action.
Centre approves 707 crore for Gujarat and Assam that were affected by floods and landslip in 2024

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Tuesday alleged that the government's import policy for yellow peas has eaped substantial profits for the Adani Group with farmers suffering huge losses. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said this was yet another clear example of how the so-called 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' has been reduced to 'Modani-nirbhar Bharat'. He said that in 2014-25, India imported over 67 lakh tonnes of pulses, of which approximately 30 lakh tonnes were yellow peas, which is considered a substitute to pulses. Ramesh pointed out that due to the absence of import duty on yellow peas, imported peas are reaching the market at a significantly lower price compared to domestic pulses. The price of imported peas is Rs 3,500 per quintal, which is roughly half the MSP of Rs 7,000-8,000 per quintal for domestic pulses. As a result, cheap imports have flooded the market, making it impossible for domestic pulses to compete, rendering them unprofitable for farmers in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh, he said in a post on X. ! 2024-25 67 , 30 , Jairam Ramesh (@Jairam_Ramesh) October 7, 2025 While farmers are suffering huge losses, the largest importer of yellow peas the Adani Group has reaped substantial profits, Ramesh claimed. There was no immediate reaction from the government or the Adani Group on the Congress' claims. To curb high food inflation, the 50 per cent basic customs duty on yellow peas was emporarily removed in December 2023; however, despite repeated appeals from farmers, the government has continued with this decision, Ramesh said. Even institutions like the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP), NITI Aayog, and the Supreme Court have advised imposing restrictions on unrestricted imports to protect farmers. Yet, the central government ignored these warnings and continued the customs duty exemption on yellow peas, he said, adding that now, this exemption has been extended until March 2026. This is yet another clear example of how the so-called 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' has, in reality, become a 'Modani-Nirbhar Bharat, Ramesh said. Modani ki peeli daal mein kuch toh kaala hai, he said in his post in Hindi, taking a dig at the Adani Group and the central government.
