Amidst the assembly elections in Bihar, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president J.P. While addressing a public meeting in Bhojpur on Tuesday (November 4), Nadda made a scathing attack on the opposition and praised the development of Bihar under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. Nadda said that jungle raj, goonda raj and kidnapping are the identity of RJD, whereas today’s Bihar is running on the track of development.

He said, “20 years ago, Bihar was immersed in darkness, there was no electricity, law and order was in bad shape, but today due to the hard work of Nitish Kumar ji, the state is creating a new identity of development. This is the golden period of Bihar and the beginning of a bright future.”

JP Nadda made this appeal to the people

Nadda appealed to the people to consider this election as an election of development and stability. He said, “Today the vehicle of development of Bihar is back on track and is now moving forward rapidly. It should not be stopped but should be strengthened. We have traveled in Bihar from lantern to LED and today this is the era of LED.”

The BJP president further said, “20 years ago, people used to go to generator vendors to get their mobile phones charged and pay Rs 10, because there was no electricity in their homes, but now there is electricity for 23 to 24 hours in every village.” He also added that today YouTubers are being prepared in the villages of Bihar, because the Modi government has connected more than 5,000 panchayats to the internet.

Emphasis on women empowerment

Referring to the schemes of Modi government and the state government, Nadda said that under the Women Employment Scheme, an assistance amount of Rs 10,000 has been given to the women of Bihar. He said that after the formation of the NDA government, Rs 2 lakh will be sent to the accounts of the women of Bihar, so that they can become self-reliant and get involved in self-employment.

Nadda said that during the RJD government, Bihar was known for fear, corruption and kidnapping. Today’s government is a symbol of development, good governance and stability. He said that the opposition only does politics of caste and familyism, whereas BJP believes in politics of public service and development.

Richest Village: Whenever we think of Indian villages, lush green fields, simple houses and a simple lifestyle come to our mind. But today we are going to tell you about a village which has become the richest village not only in India but in the entire Asian continent. Let us know complete information about this village.

a unique village

We are talking about Madhapur, a small village situated near Bhuj in Kutch district of Gujarat. This village with a population of about 32000 is very famous because of its grand bungalows, wide roads and modern infrastructure. The residents here have a total fixed deposit amount of more than Rs 7000 crore deposited in different banks. There would be no harm in saying that the people here really live like kings.

Here you will not find dusty roads or rural huts, but you will also find big houses, lakes, schools, colleges, health centers and temples. There are 17 big banks in this village including SBI, HDFC, ICICI and PNB.

NRI dominance

The secret of this village’s prosperity lies in its people. In fact, about 65% of the population of this village lives abroad. These people are settled in America, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and African countries. Many of them work in the construction and business sectors in African countries. Every year, crores of rupees of money comes to Madhapur, due to which the development and prosperity here is getting a lot of boost.

What is the connection with London?

This village also has a big connection with London. Actually, Madhapur Gram Sangh located in London connects the global NRI community. This organization plays a big role in money making efforts and supporting development projects in the country. Along with this, the special thing about the people of this village is that the money here is used not only for personal luxuries but also in community development projects. This village offers a wonderful blend of tradition and modernity. Here you will get to see deep cultural roots as well as the sparkle of modernity. Looking at this village it becomes clear that if the people of the village work together for development and progress then how a small village can achieve global recognition.

The defense cooperation between India and the United States is about to achieve a new dimension amidst the tariff threats of US President Donald Trump. The deal of 6 additional P-8i Maritime Petrol Aircraft for the Indian Navy between the two countries is almost fixed. This deal is about 4 billion dollars. For this, a delegation of America will reach Delhi from September 16 to 19.

Important role of US delegation
This delegation will include officers of US Department of Defense and Boeing. In addition, officials of the Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Navy International Program Office (NIPO), Maritime Petrol and Recognition Aircraft Program Office (PMA 290) and Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) will also participate in it. NIPO handles global maritime partnerships while PMA is helpful in 290 aircraft acquisition and support.

Indian Navy’s growing requirements
The Indian Navy currently has 12 P-8i aircraft. In view of China’s growing military influence in the Indian Ocean Region, the Navy needs 6 more aircraft to strengthen its surveillance and anti-Sabarine capacity. Apart from this, the Navy is also using MQ-9B drone, which will provide a total of 31 drones by 2029.

Technical characteristics and strategic importance
According to India Today report, P-8i aircraft are capable of long distance monitoring and detection of submarines. It can fly from a height of 41,000 feet and can cover a distance of up to 8,300 kilometers. It can also carry anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, light torpedo and anti-sabmerine warfare charge. The MQ-9B drone will be helpful in the real-time surveillance of the Indian Ocean Region.

Indo-US relations are not affected
Recently, the high tariff imposed by the US on India for buying oil from Russia has not affected this defense agreement. In February, a joint statement released during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to America was clear that the deal is in the final stages.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on a 2 -day Gujarat tour from today (August 25, 2025). During this time, he will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of development schemes worth more than Rs 5400 crore in the state including Ahmedabad. PM Modi will hold a public meeting at Khodaldham Maidan in Ahmedabad at 6 pm on Monday evening. On August 26, Suzuki Motor Plant in Hansalpur will reach the local production of hybrid battery electrodes here.

PM Modi will introduce exports to more than 100 countries of Suzuki’s first global electric car E-Vitara, including many countries in Europe and Japan. In the railway area, PM Modi will inaugurate projects worth more than Rs 1400 crore, including doubling of Mahesana-Palanpur railroad, Kalol-Kadi-Katosan Road (37 km) and Bichraji-Runuj (40 km) rail lines.

Inauguration of electricity distribution projects worth more than 1000 crores

To improve road connectivity, PM Modi will inaugurate Viramgam-Khudad-Rampura Road widening. Along with this, the foundation stone of the six-lane underpass on Ahmedabad-Mahesana-Palanpur Road and the foundation stone of the railway overbridge on Ahmedabad-Virmagam Road will also be laid. In the energy sector, PM Modi will inaugurate the power distribution projects of more than Rs 1000 crore of North Gujarat Electricity Company Limited (UGVCL). These projects will modernize power supply and reduce the problem of disrupting electricity in bad weather.

Redevelopment of slums

In PM Modi’s visit, urban development will also get big gifts. Under the PM Awas Yojana (Urban) in Ahmedabad, the slums of Ramapir No Tekri area will be redeveloped. Along with this, the foundation of Sardar Patel Ring Road widening, projects related to water and sewer management of the city, new stamps and registration building in Ahmedabad West and State Level Data Storage Center in Gandhinagar will be laid. These projects will not only strengthen civil services but will also give a new direction to digital governance.

The program of Hansalpur is considered to be an important link for this visit, as PM Modi will not only start the global export of Suzuki’s electric car E-Vitara but will also launch local production of hybrid battery electrode in TDS Lithium-ion battery plant (Toshiba, Deno and Suzuki’s joint project).
