When I opened my eyes, three of the family were crushed under debris, says eyewitness
Hyderabad : The 30-foot-high wall collapsed on temporary structures crushing a woman who was feeding her four-year-old son and a sick man who did not attend work as he was recuperating from illness, said an eyewitness. These victims were part of the seven, who died when a rain-soaked wall caved in Renuka Yellamma Colony, Bachupally on Tuesday. According to the eyewitness, the incident occurred at around 5.45 pm, following a heavy rain a 30-foot tall rain soaked boundary wall of a five storied under construction domestic apartments caved in on the other side of the building where the victims were in their room. Around 5.45 pm, it was raining heavily. I went to see Ram Yadav,35, my cousin and co-worker who was sick. He was taking medicine, while his wife G.Geeta was feeding her four-year-old son Himanshu Yadav, when I heard a thud sound. When I opened my eyes, I was struck in the debris of cement brick that penetrated through asbestos sheets, said Udhal Yadav, a cousin of Ram Yadav, who is an eyewitness in the case. I was in a deep shock and could not realise what happened to me in front of me. I was just two feet away from the mishap. I shouted Ram bhai, but by then three of them were buried under the debris, Udhal Yadav said. Ram Yadav, a centring worker and the only bread earner in the family, came to Hyderabad along with his son Himanshu and Geeta from Nava Para Munda village in Chattisgarh on May 5 after his father Murit Yadav suffered a paralysis stroke, Udhal Yadav said. On May 6, Ram complained of sun stroke and stomach infection and was under treatment, Udhal, who got stuck in four-feet deep debris, suffered bleeding injuries. Over 50 labourers and masons from Odisha, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh were living in 12 small rooms with asbestos roof and four huts. However, only 14 people. including me, were in rooms while others were out on work when the mishap occurred, said Nandu Kumar Yadav, who is victim Geetas brother. When Udhal Yadav called me at 6.30 pm, he was crying, stating `bhaiya bohat gazab ho gaya mai phas gaya aur Ram, Himanshu, Geeta our char mazdoor margay deewar girne se`. By the time I reached the location from Kothapet, the builder was getting debris cleared with the help of two JCB machines, said Nanda Yadav. The 30-foot-high and 25-foot-long concrete wall was constructed one week back on granite stones at the ground level. They did not dig into the ground to lay the basement. The wall was eight-inch wide, with several tonnes of sand dumped on the other side, Nanda Kumar said. The entire sand load fell on the wall and caved on the temporary rooms built for workers 10 feet away from the wall. The other victims were identified as Thirupathi Maji,20, Shankar Maji,22,of Odisha, Raju Lal,25,and his wife Kushi Lal,20, who are the natives of West Bengal. While the other injured workers who are undergoing treatment in a private hospital atBachupally have been identified as Sagar, Meravi (21) Sovinder Dunmy (21), both natives of Madhya Pradesh, Yedimi (19) and Mothi, both women, from Chattisgarh, Jagapathi (19), and Desmo Soum (20) from Odisha, and Amir Hussen (28) from West Bengal. Four of the victims have already been discharged, other three injured victims suffered critical injuries and multiple fractures. Doctors suggested that they undergo surgery, said G. Sandhya, the sub inspector of Bachupally police station. The victims bodies have been shifted to Gandhi Hospital and their family members from their native places are on the way. Our village is more than 1,400 kilometres away. We cannot make an effort to take the bodies for last rites. We request the government to help us in transporting the bodies of all victims to their native place, said Somnath Maji, a victim's cousin. The police have detainedVenkannaArvind Reddy, the builder of the five-storied under-construction building with 45 apartments. A case has been booked under 304 IPC part II 337 IPC, which deals with an act that is undertaken with the intent to cause death, or a physical injury that causes hurt to any person by doing any act so rashly or negligently as to endanger human life. Police are checking with GHMC, MRO, and RDO to ascertain whether Arvind had obtained all required permissions for the construction.

BJP Plans to Divide BJD After Elections: Pandian
BJP Plans to Divide BJD After Elections: Pandian BJD leader and Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's close aide V K Pandian on Wednesday alleged that the BJP is fighting elections in the state not to win but to increase its seats with an intention to break the Biju Janata Dal after the polls. The bureaucrat-turned-politician said this while meeting a group of journalists at Gopalpur in Ganjam district on Wednesday. ''They (BJP) had a slogan of securing 120 assembly seats in 2014 but failed. I do not know their target for 2019. But, for 2024, they have been fighting elections to win 50/60 seats and aim to break BJD after the elections,'' Pandian said. After Maharashtra, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, the saffron party wants to follow this strategy in Odisha, he claimed. Asserting that the BJP's plan will not succeed, Pandian said many people from the national level are coming to campaign in the state, but the people of Odisha have no trust in them. ''Naveen Babu (CM Naveen Patnaik) is the trust of the people,'' he said. Responding to his allegation, senior BJP leader Samir Mohanty said that the saffron party does not need to break the BJD. BJP need not break the BJD. It will break on its own. There are several Eknath Sindhe in BJD who are in constant touch with us, he said. The BJP is contesting the polls to form government in Odisha, Mohanty said. Earlier, asked whether he was confident of Patnaik becoming the chief minister for the sixth consecutive time, Padian asserted that the BJD will win the elections with flying colours. ''Had I not such conviction, I would not have said that Naveen babu will be sworn in as CM on June 9 with blessings of Maha Prabu Jagannath,'' he said. Pandian claimed that BJP has no candidate in 60 of the 147 assembly segments in Odisha. ''They waited for the release of BJD's candidate list so that they could pick up candidates from among the leaders dropped or rejected by us,'' he said. Pandian also came down heavily on Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi and accused them of attempting to stop the Shree Mandir Parikrama Project (Jagannath temple heritage corridor project). ''They tried to stall the project through ASI, National Monuments Authority (NMA) and by filing petitions in High Court and Supreme Court. They also hired an expensive lawyer to ensure the project does not take off, Pandian claimed. Targeting Pradhan, Pandian claimed that he was rejected by the people of his own district, Dhenkanal. ''His party lost in panchayat and urban polls. So, he ran away and filed the nomination paper from nearby Sambalpur Lok Sabha seat. He has done nothing for his own district. Had he done something good for Odisha, our CM would have been liberal not to put any candidate against him. But, his report cards were very poor, Pandian said. Who is he? asked Pradhan when reporters queried him about Pandian's comment on his contribution to Odisha. Replying to a question on BJP raising the Odia Asmita (pride) issue during elections, Pandian said, the central government has not given a single rupee for the promotion of Odia language. Though the BJP has 8 MPs in Lok Sabha from Odisha, all of them remained completely silent while the Centre was providing money for the promotion of other languages and not for Odia, he claimed.

The post Rajnath slams Congress & BJD for neglecting development of Odisha in last 75 years first appeared on Central India's Premier English Daily .
Odisha: Senior BJP leader and defence minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday launched a broadside on Odishas ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) by calling them out as Bhrast (corrupt) and urged people to give his a party a chance to change the fate of the state. Addressing separate poll rallies at Bhawanipatna under the Kalahandi parliamentary constituency (PC) and Rayagada under Koraput, Rajnath Singh said Odisha continued to suffer from backwardness due to the misgovernance of the BJD and the Congress for decades. A lot of development work has taken place in the country under 10 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modis leadership. Once the BJP government is formed in Odisha, rapid developments will take place across the state with special focus on Kalahandi which is considered as one of the backward places in the country, said Rajnath. Earlier, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) used to come to Kalahandi as part of their poverty tourism and write articles about its poverty. The Congress was in power here for long. Be it Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi or Manmohan Singh, all of them only claimed to eradicate poverty. Unfortunately, they could not live up to their words. However, after PM Narendra Modi came to power, the Centre has been able to uplift over 25 crore people from poverty, said Singh. The Centre has launched the Ayushman Bharat scheme under which Rs 5 lakh assistance for medical expenses is being provided to the poor. However, the BJD government has deprived the Odisha people of the benefits of the scheme. Once the BJP forms government in Odisha, the party will implement the scheme here along with other schemes, he said. Stating that the Congress and BJD leaders had made a lot of toll promises in the past, the Union minister said Odisha would have been a state had they fulfilled their commitments even partially.

9 Maoist cadres, all hailing from Chhattisgarh, surrender before Odisha police
Bhubaneswar: Nine Maoist activists, including two women cadres hailing from Chhattisgarh, on Wednesday laid down their arms before the Odisha police. According to the police, the rebels who surrendered before Inspector General of Police (IGP- (Southern Range), Jayanarayan Pankaj at Boudh, belong to Muler village of Dantewada in Chhattisgarh. The two women Maoists, identified as Yogi Madvi alias Jyoti and Pozze Madvi, had joined the Maoist group in 2019 and she was the personal security guard of Sila alias Nagmani who is an active leader of 8th company of KKBN division in Boudh district. Similarly, Pozze had joined the Maoists in 2020 and along with Jyoti she came in contact with Vikesh alias Jagdish DVM Commander of the 8th company of the KKBN division. The other seven Maoists, who have surrendered, were working as party members in the Maoist organisation. Samaya Madkam alias Naresh, a Divisional Committee Member (DCM) of KKBN Division of the Maoists had surrendered in Odisha on Tuesday. At the time of surrender, Samaya was the Commander of 1st platoon in 8th Company of the division. He surrendered before I.G of Police, Southern Range, Berhampur and Kandhamal superintendent of police. Senior officials informed that Samaya is involved in a series of offences and violent activities against the state. At least 17 cases are registered against him in Kandhamal, Boudh and Nuapada districts. It is suspected that more cases might have been registered against him in the neighbouring Chhattisgarh. The officials further said that Samaya was forced to surrender due to increase in regular Anti-Maoist operations in interior areas of Kandhamal and multiple exchanges of fire in Boudh and Kandhamal districts.

BJP has fulfilled all its promises, Union minister Rajnath Singh
Bhubaneswar : Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday claimed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had almost fulfilled all its promises and taken the country to new heights of development. He also stated that the good governance of the Narendra Modi government had lifted countless people from the vicious poverty cycle and offered them an opportunity to lead a decent life. The Narendra Modi government has almost fulfilled all the promises it made to people before coming to power in 2014. It abrogated Article 370 after getting a full majority. We had announced construction of Lord Ram Temple and we fulfilled our commitment, said Singh. He added, The Congressmen used to mock us on the Ram Mandir issue. But our Prime Minister made it happen and it shows our character. On abolition of Triple Talaq, the Union minister said a lot of people had warned the BJP not to interfere in matters of other religions. However, the BJP went ahead with its resolve to abolish this to do away with the injustice meted out to Muslim women in the pretext of Triple Talaq, he observed. Be it Hindus, Muslims, Christian or Sikh, if there is any injustice to any women, the BJP will stand by them, said Singh. Criticising the Congress, the minister said, Terrorists recently attacked our convoy in Jammu and Kashmir. A Congress minister from Punjab said that it was an election stunt. Will we attack our soldiers? What do they (Opposition) want to do with our nations security? Earlier, there used to be terrorist attacks in every part of the country. After BJP came to power, there has been a sharp decline in terror attacks in the country. Stating that former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had once said that only 15 paisa reached the poor from Rs 1 sent by the Centre, Singh said PM Modi ensured that the poor availed the whole sanctioned amount without any corruption. Nobody in the country thought of providing free ration but now, 80 crore people in the country are getting benefits. India is growing at a rapid pace, Singh added. The Union minister predicted that the BJP will win all the 21 Lok Sabha seats in Odisha and form the government in the state by getting an absolute majority in the 147-member State Assembly.

Nine Naxals including two women from Chhattisgarh surrender before Odisha police
BHUBANESWAR: In a significant development ahead of elections, nine members (including two women) of the banned party outfit CPI (Maoist) surrendered before Odisha Police on Wednesday. The members hailed from Chhattisgarh. A Naxal surrendered before Kandhamal Police on Tuesday and nine did the same before Boudh Police a day later. Apart from the state government's effective rehabilitation policy, the continuous anti-Naxal operations has led to the recent surrenders, said ADG (Operations), Dev Datta Singh. Speaking to the reporters, Southern Range IG Jai Narayan Pankaj said that due to the enhanced anti-Naxal operations carried out in the both states, Odisha and Chhattisgarh, the red ultras are surrendering fearing for their lives and are reluctant to cross over to Chhattisgarh because of the tight security cordon due to the elections. Sources said most of the Naxals active in Odisha are from Chhattisgarh, some are from Andhra Pradesh and a very few are from within the state. In the last three to four months, at least five camps of Border Security Force (BSF) and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) have been set up in the core areas of Kandhamal and Boudh which were once the strongholds of the Naxals. Odisha Police's Special Operations Group along with BSF and CRPF are also regularly carrying out area domination exercises in Kalahandi, Kandhamal and Boudh and this has deterred the Naxals from carrying out any activity, said Pankaj. The surrendered Naxals identified as Yoggi Madvi alias Jyoti (20), Pozze Madvi (22), Bhima Kadti (22) Bhima Banjam (25), Bandi Banjam (30) Arma Raba (30) Malla Madvi (29), Deba Kadti (25) and Ayata Madvi (26) are from Muler village in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada district, said Boudh SP, Raj Prasad. Yoggi Madvi who had joined CPI (Maoist) in 2019 worked as the personal security guard of divisional committee member Sila alias Nagmani who is an active leader of 8th company of Kandhamal-Kalahandi-Boudh-Nayagarh (KKBN) division operating in Boudh district. The other seven were also working as party members in CPI (Maoist). Apart from 10 Naxals, six to eight others have so far surrendered this year, said police sources. Sources said apart from anti-Naxal operations, the killing of red ultras in recent months has also left the middle and lower rank cadres dispirited. Two Naxals were neutralised during an exchange of fire with the security forces in Parhel Reserve Forest within Kantamal police limits in Boudh district on April 25. The killing of top Maoist cadre Dasru alias Dudu Mundari was a major set-back for the outlawed CPI (Maoist), said police sources. Dasru was the chief of KKBN division and was killed in an exchange of fire with security forces at Kamberikia forest area within Baliguda police limits on February 3. Sources said Malkangiri, also called as the cut-off Swabhiman Anchal, has not witnessed any Naxal activity in recent years but now the major challenge for the security forces is to check the movement and activities of the red ultras in Kalahandi-Kandhamal-Boudh axis. Security has been tightened ahead of elections as Naxals are using Kalahandi, Kandhamal and Boudh corridor to remain connected with the cadres from Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.

BJP has plans to break BJD, after elections: V K Pandian
BHUBANESWAR: BJD leader and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik's close aide V K Pandian on Wednesday alleged that the opposition BJP is not fighting elections in Odisha to win polls but to increase its seat number with an intention to break the Biju Janata Dal after elections. This was stated by the bureaucrat turned politician while meeting a group of television channel journalists at Gopalpur in Ganjam district on Wednesday. They (BJP) had a slogan of securing 120 assembly seats in 2014 but failed. I do not know their target for 2019. But, for 2024, they have been fighting elections to win 50/60 seats and aim to break BJD after the elections. This is their poll strategy, Pandian told journalists. Claiming that the BJP was not fighting elections to form government in Odisha, Pandian said: I openly say that this (breaking BJD) is their internal strategy as they have done in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. Asserting that the BJP's plan will not succeed, Pandian said many people from the national level are coming for campaigning in the state, but the people of Odisha have no trust on them. Naveen Babu is the trust of the people, he said. BJP cant get 10 percent votes if it names CM face: VK Pandian You have seen in 2014, 2019 and also in 2024, entire army of leaders from across the country come for campaigning. But, the people will not trust them. The people will bless Nabeen babu in a big way, Pandian said replying to a question on the BJP national leaders making queue for campaigning in the state during the twin polls for the Lok Sabha and Odisha Assembly. Asked whether he was confident of Patnaik becoming the chief minister of Odisha for the sixth consecutive time, Padian said: I have a strong conviction that Naveen babu will win the elections with flying colours. Had I not such conviction, I would not have said that Naveen babu will be sworn in as CM on June 9 with blessings of Maha Prabu Jagannath, he said. Pandian said that they (BJP) have no candidates in 60 of the 147 assembly segments in Odisha. They waited for the release of BJD's candidate list so that they could pick up candidates from among the leaders dropped or rejected by the regional party. This is the reality of BJP in Odisha, he said. Pandian also came down heavily on Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi and accused them of attempting to stop the Shree Mandir Parikrama Project (Jagannath temple heritage corridor project). Replying to a question on BJP raising the Odia Asmita (pride) issue during elections, Pandian said, the central government has not given a single rupee for the promotion of Odia language. Though the BJP has 8 MPs in Lok Sabha, all of them remained completely silent while the Centre was providing money for the promotion of other languages and not for Odia language. Only during election time, the union minister (Dharmendra Pradhan) shows his love for Odia language and talks about Asmita, the BJD leader said.
