Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Monday (September 22) that pod taxi services will be started in Mumbai. In a meeting held in relation to pod taxi at Sahyadri guest house, Fadnavis said, “The cities are expanding due to increasing urbanization. Citizens have to travel a long way to reach the workplace. Therefore, along with strengthening the public transport system, it is now needed to provide ‘Last Mile Connectivity’ to citizens. ”

The Chief Minister directed that the next step of the transport service is ‘pod taxi’ and this service should be made available to citizens for ‘Last Mile Connectivity’.

Where is the plan of pod taxi?

Chief Minister Fadnavis said that this service will prove to be important in the ‘Business District’ located between Kurla to Bandra railway station. Due to the future bullet train station, Mumbai High Court, the crowd of citizens is going to increase in this area.

He said, “Citizens are likely to face difficulties by increasing pressure on the currently available transport service. In future, pod taxi can be a better option to provide delay and easily transport service to citizens in this region. ”

Instructions regarding single card

Devendra Fadnavis said, “Arrangements are being made to travel through single card in all transport services in Mumbai. Citizens should also get service of pod taxi with this single card, action should be taken in this direction. Kurla and Bandra station complex should be developed according to pod taxi. Police should be provided other places in the same area instead of police residence located in Kurla station premises. Also, the buildings of the Bandra-Kurla Complex area should be connected to the station with pod taxi. ”

The Chief Minister said that in view of the commercial importance of this region, this service should be globally, it should be taken care of. Good concepts should be applied to better use the sky walk outside the station.

What is pod taxi?

The pod taxi is part of the Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system, in which fully automated, driver -less (driver laces), electric vehicles run on high tracks. In this, a small number of people can go at once.

The Siddaramaiah government of Karnataka is going to change the name of Shivajinagar Metro Station in Bangalore. CM Siddaramaiah has said that his government will consider renaming the name of Shivajinagar Metro Station in Bangalore after a request made during the annual festival at St. Mary Basilica.

With this announcement, a dispute arose in Maharashtra. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has condemned this. He said, “I condemn the Karnataka government’s move to change the name of Shivajinagar Metro Station in Bangalore in the name of St. Mary. This is an insult to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The Congress has continued its tradition of insulting the Maratha warrior king since the time of Nehru, who commented against Shivaji Maharaj in his book Discovery of India. ”

Give goodwill to Siddaramaiah- CM

Defending CM Siddaramaiah’s statement, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivkumar said that we have just discussed this. I think there is a request. There is nothing wrong in requesting. We will consider this.

Devendra Fadnavis targeted on opposition

Fadnavis said that he prays to God that Siddaramaiah should be goodworthy not to take such decisions against the Maratha warrior king.

In India too, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the level of opposition has fallen on the comments of some opposition leaders regarding turbulent situations like Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. He said, “You can criticize the programs and policies of the government, but not the society and the country.”

After breaking the movement of Manoj Jarange Patil for Maratha reservation, the Maharashtra government has taken some decision which is no less than a shock for Manoj Jarange Patil. Manoj Jarange Patil broke his fast because the Devendra Fadnavis government had talked about obeying Jaranga, but now Fadnavis has said something that Manoj Jarange is like deception for Patil and now that Jarage may start preparing himself for the fast, because he has played with him.

Actually, Maratha is the biggest face of reservation in Maharashtra, then it is the face of Manoj Jarang Patil. On one of his voice, millions of Marathas get down on the road and participate in the movement. One such movement was done by Bhimanoj Jarange Patil in the past, in which Manoj himself sat on hunger strike.

His only big demand was that all the Marathas of Marathwada should be given OBC reservation and for this the government should include all the Marathas in the Kunbi caste, which is already part of the OBC and they get the right to OBC reservation.

Manoj Jarange Patil surrounded Mumbai’s Azad Maidan with these demands. For five days, he sat in the Azad Maidan with thousands of people. When the High Court asked Manoj Jarange to vacate the Azad Maidan and the Manoj was adamant on the movement, the Fadnavis government decided that he would accept all the demands of Manoj Jarange and will implement the Maratha reservation. Manoj Jarange himself also ended his fast and said that the government has accepted the demand for Maratha reservation, so the movement is ended.

But even the week of the end of the agitation, it was not passed that a statement by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has put a question mark on this entire movement. In fact, Manoj Jarange demanded that all the Marathas be included in the kunbi and they should be given reservation, while on September 7, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that all the Marathas cannot be included in the Kunbi and neither can all the Marathas be given reservation.

Clearing his point, Chief Minister Fadnavis said, “All the records of Marathwada are in Hyderabad Gadget. The British records are not available, so we have decided that we will run according to the records of Hyderabad Gadget. Whose name will be included in the record, the certificate will be given.

Fadnavis has taken this decision in view of OBC’s opposition, because the OBC society believed that the reservation of OBC’s rights will be given to the Marathas, which they do not approve of the rights of OBC.

Fadnavis also had a good feeling of OBC opposition, then he said, “Those who are included in the record, they get the certificate, we have made such an easy process. Because of this, the one who has the right record in the Maratha society will not be deprived, it will be the only benefit. Nothing will be extracted from the plate of OBC society. This decision has not only allowed the Maratha society, but also the OBC society has not allowed it to be harmful. As long as our government is, whatever happens, but OBC will not let it hurt. “

But this statement of Fadnavis has shocked the Maratha movement. Because Manoj Jarange Patil ended his fast on the condition that all Marathas will get reservation. But now the CM has said that according to Hyderabad gazette, reservation will be available, so many Marathas will be deprived of this reservation. While Jaranga was demanded that if a Maratha is being included in the kunbi and reservation is being given to it, then its relatives should also get reservation. But now the announcement of the government has trapped the screw in it. And in such a situation, Manoj Jarang Patil may once again become a challenge for the government, because his demand has been accepted, but it is looking half-incomplete.

The Devendra Fadnavis government of Maharashtra has approved a loan of Rs 409 crore to Rajgarh Cooperative Sugar Mill of former Congress MLA Sangram Thopte. The cabinet approved it on Tuesday (August 26). This ‘Margin Money Loan’ is given by the National Cooperative Development Corporation (NCDC), when the state government provides guarantee.

Ajit Pawar objected

According to the news agency PTI, sources said that the proposal to give loans was opposed by Deputy Chief Minister and NCP chief Ajit Pawar. His argument was that despite the government help from the time of former Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, this factory of Bhor Tehsil is constantly struggling and is not practically durable.

Pawar has been competing with family

Sangram was joined the BJP in the month of April. Let us know that the Thopte families who have been in the Congress for decades and are considered to be the rival of the Pawar family in the politics of Pune district.

The constituency of Sangram Theopte falls in Baramati Lok Sabha constituency. Sangram’s father Anantrao Theopte and Sharad Pawar were considered a staunch rival. However, later Sharad Pawar tried to improve the relationship.

Actually, Ajit Pawar divided into NCP. After this, his wife Sunetra Pawar contested the Lok Sabha elections in 2024. Sunetra was in the fray against Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule. During the election time, Sharad Pawar tried to improve the relationship with the Thopte family.

The dawn seat has been occupied

In the 2024 assembly elections, Ajit Pawar’s NCP’s Shankar Hiraman Mandekar defeated the Sangram contesting on the Congress ticket. Mandekar got 126,455 votes. At the same time, Sangram got 1,06,817 votes. Earlier, Sangram Aopte won in elections from 2009 to 2019. Earlier, six times his father Anantrao was elected MLA from this seat six times.

Anantrao Thopte won for the first time in 1980 and was elected MLAs continuously till 1999. Sharad Pawar’s party won only once in the 1999 election. Then in 2004, Anantrao won.

There is a constant news of internal tussle and politics between the three parties involved in the Mahayati government of Maharashtra. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has now taken an important decision regarding the functioning of the city development department led by Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde.

According to this decision, now the files with large amount of money of the city development department will move forward only when the Chief Minister Fadnavis himself will approve it.

How is the shock for Eknath Shinde?

In political circles, it is being described as a shocking step of Eknath Shinde, especially keeping in mind the elections of the upcoming local Swarajya institutions. City development and village development are considered important in these elections in these elections. Among them, the Village Development Department is with the BJP, while the responsibility of the Municipal Development Department is with the Shinde faction.

Through the city development department, funds are given to MLAs and city servants under various schemes. But in recent times, only the leaders of Shinde faction have come to light. MLAs of other parties of Mahauti were angry with this bias and they raised the issue before Fadnavis during the recently concluded monsoon session.

Now the Chief Minister’s Office will also see whether the Municipal Development Fund is being distributed equally in all the districts of the state. Since a big budget is released from this department in the election time, it will be ensured that there is no partiality in it.

What will be the results of this decision?

Now for any scheme under the city development department, where a large amount is to be sanctioned, after the recommendation of Eknath Shinde, the file will go to Chief Minister Fadnavis. And that amount can be distributed only after their approval.

Since the incoming (involvement of corporators of other parties) in the Shinde faction is likely to increase and in such a situation there was talk of openly funding the city servants of Shinde faction but now it will be controlled. There has also been a complaint in Mahauti that only the municipalities with the power of Shiv Sena are given huge amount from the Municipal Development Department, while other parts do not get the requirement. Now this imbalance can stop with the intervention of Fadnavis.

In Maharashtra, Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad of Eknath Shinde faction beat up a canteen employee who gave stale food, which was strongly opposed by the opposition. Now in this case, Maharashtra Chief Minister and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said that the police must investigate.

He said, “There is no need to file a complaint for this. If it is a cognizable crime, then the police can take action by taking self -cognizance. This crime is cognizable or non-code, it depends on how loudly it was killed. Based on this, the nature of crime is determined. ”

Now everyone’s eyes are on whether the police will take the initiative and take action against MLA Sanjay Gaikwad.

What did Shiv Sena MLA say?
Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad, from Buldhana, supported his actions and said that even if my path was wrong, I have no regrets. Rather, due to what I did, action was taken on the canteen giving poor food. I just hit a little bit. Therefore only NC (Non-Cognizable Report) can be recorded.

He said, “This is not a big crime. I know the law. I will meet the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister and inform them about this incident. If they feel that I am guilty, then I am ready to face the punishment given by them. ”

The process of registering the case started

Sources said that the process of registering Non-Cognizable Offense (NC) against Sanjay Gaikwad is underway. The process of filing NC by the Marine Drive Police of Mumbai has started.

Gaikwad slapped an employee of the canteen of ‘Akashvani MLA’ hostel on Tuesday (July 8) on serving stale food. The video of this fight is viral. After this, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspended the license of the caterine running a canteer in Mumbai on Wednesday evening. The FDA said in its suspension order that a violation of food safety rules was found during the inspection of the canteen.

Supriya sule ajit pawar: Baramati MP Supriya Sule has complained about the scholarship amidst speculation about coming with Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar in Maharashtra. Nationalist Congress Party – Sharad Chandra Pawar (NCP SP) chief Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule said, “Scholarship is provided through an organization called ‘Sarathi’ for students from economically weaker sections of the Maratha community. But the students complain that this scholarship is not getting on time, because the grant is not being received on time from the Finance Ministry.

He said, “Scholarship is very important in terms of education and it should be obtained on time. I request the Chief Minister to listen to the students and take appropriate steps to ensure that they get this scholarship on time. ”

Ajit Pawar has finance ministry

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Ajit Pawar is also the Finance Minister along with Deputy CM in the Maharashtra government headed by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Supriya Sule has also tagged Chief Minister Fadnavis and her brother Ajit Pawar in her X post.

Let us know that these days there is speculation that there is speculation to come with Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar in Maharashtra. Actually, both leaders have been seen together in many forums in recent times.

What did Sharad Pawar say on coming together?

When Sharad Pawar was asked about coming together, he said that if both the NCP groups come together, then it will not be surprising. A group of NCP SP wants to join Ajit Pawar. The final decision on this will have to be taken by the next generation leadership (Supriya Sule and Ajit Pawar).

Ajit Pawar rebelled against uncle Sharad Pawar in July 2023 and joined the Mahayuti government with several NCP MLAs. The matter reached the Supreme Court and Election Commission. Where the Election Commission considered Ajit Pawar’s NCP as real and handed over the election symbol and name to Ajit Pawar. At the same time, Sharad Pawar’s group got a new name and mark.

Kunal kamra controversy: Standup comedian Kunal Kamra’s Tanj has created a ruckus on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Shiv Sena workers are on sabotage. Also, the police has registered an FIR.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that comedy has its own principles. The way standup comedian Kunal Kamra tried to humiliate Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde is wrong. We condemn this. Such things cannot be tolerated.

He said, “Kamra should know that in the 2024 election, the public has made it clear who is a traitor and who is not.” You have the right to do comedy, satire, but if intentionally tried to humiliate and discredit such big leaders, it will not be tolerated and action will be taken according to the law. “

What did Kunal Kamra say?

Kunal Kamra took a sarcasm on Shinde using the revised version of a song from the film ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’. He had said, “What happened earlier Shiv Sena came out of BJP. Then Shiv Sena came out of Shiv Sena. NCP came out of NCP. Gave 9 buttons to a voter, everyone was confused. One of the current people did, he is a great district in Mumbai, Thane comes from there. Thane’s rickshaw, beard on face, glasses in eyes, hi…. You look at me, the traitor came to see… ‘
