Indian PM Modi steals limelight at lavish Ambani wedding as route to the ceremony lined with posters

The Ambani-Merchant nuptials, culminated in a lavish ceremony in Mumbai after a series of celebrations spanning multiple countries over the past four months. Notably absent from the Mumbai reception, however, was Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, <keyword id="19895780" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rahul-Gandhi" source="keywords">Rahul Gandhi</keyword>. Reports suggest that billionaire <keyword id="19916798" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mukesh-Ambani" source="keywords">Mukesh Ambani</keyword> had personally invited Rahul Gandi and Sonia Gandhi for his son Anant Ambani’s wedding. These speculations arose after the businessman was seen arriving at 10, Janpath. Sources close to Gandhi, however, had firmly denied his attendance, underlining a strategic move to reassert his image as a leader connected to the common citizen. Amid the celebrations, Rahul Gandhi was seen adressing a crowd of people. Talking about the grandeur of the event being held at the Jio World Convention Centre, he sardonically remarked how all of this was happening while the public was suffering. <div type="twitter" handle="pbhushan1" handlename="pbhushan1" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1812340770860413030"></div>Further, a video of the 54-year-old Congress leader waiting for his order at a Delhi pizzeria has gone viral.

Prime Minister will interact with shramjeevis associated with the construction of Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir. He will also visit the Kuber Tila, where the ancient Mandir of Bhagwan Shiv has been restored. The magnificent Shri Ram Janmbhoomi Mandir is constructed in traditional Nagara style. Its length (east-west) is 380 feet; width 250 feet and height is 161 feet; and is supported by a total of 392 pillars and 44 doors. The pillars and walls of the temple showcase intricately sculpted depictions of Hindu deities, gods, and goddesses. In the main sanctum sanctorum at ground floor, the childhood form of Bhagwan Shri Ram (the idol of Shri Ramlalla) has been placed. The main entrance to the Mandir is situated on the eastern side, which can be approached by ascending 32 stairs through the Singh Dwar. There are a total of five Mandaps (Halls) in the Mandir - Nritya Mandap, Rang Mandap, Sabha Mandap, Prathana Mandap and Kirtan Mandap. Near the Mandir is a historic Well (Sita koop), dating back to the ancient era. In the southwestern part of the Mandir complex, at Kuber Tila, the ancient Mandir of Bhagwan Shiv has been restored, along with the installation of a statue of Jatayu. The foundation of the Mandir has been constructed with a 14-meter- thick layer of roller-compacted concrete (RCC), giving it the appearance of artificial rock. No iron is used anywhere in the Mandir. For protection against ground moisture, a 21-foot-high plinth has been constructed using granite. The Mandir complex has a sewage treatment plant, water treatment plant, water supply for fire safety and an independent power station. The Mandir has been constructed employing the country's traditional and indigenous technology.

In his poll papers, <keyword id="2238662" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="PM-Modi" source="Orion">PM Modi</keyword> revealed that he does not possess a house, car, or any land. His total assets include a fixed deposit of ₹2.86 crore with the State Bank of India (SBI), ₹80,304 in two bank accounts in Gandhinagar and Varanasi, and ₹52,920 cash in hand. Additionally, he holds gold investments worth ₹2.67 lakh in the form of four gold rings. The Prime Minister has invested ₹9.12 lakh in National Savings Certificates, marking an increase of nearly ₹2 lakh since 2019. He has no outstanding loans and lists his sources of income as 'salary from government' and 'interest from bank'. Contrary to the common wisdom of not putting all your eggs in one basket, PM Modi’s asset allocation data shows nearly 95% of his assets being concentrated in fixed deposits. However, considering his position as the Prime Minister of India, him steering clear of equity markets is understandable as it can lead to potential conflicts in decision-making. Among personal details, PM Modi stated that he holds an MA degree from Gujarat University and graduated from Delhi University in 1978. He passed the SSC exam from the Gujarat board in 1967. He declared Jashodaben as his wife in the nomination papers. However, her profession, occupation, and source of income were listed as 'not known'. The Prime Minister also affirmed that there are no pending criminal cases against him and he does not owe any government dues. Amidst much ceremony, PM Modi formally filed his nomination, seeking a third straight win from the Varanasi constituency. He will be contesting against Congress' UP unit president Ajay Rai. Before filing his nomination, PM Modi sought blessings at Kashi, took a holy dip in Ganga, performed rituals and Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, and boarded MV Swami Vivekanand Ro-Ro vessel to reach Namo Ghat and the Kaal Bhairav temple. These rituals hold significance in Hindu mythology, believed to be essential before commencing any auspicious work. (With inputs from The Times of India)

Pilibhit (UP), Prime Minister <keyword id="19895781" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="narendra-modi" source="keywords">Narendra Modi</keyword> on Tuesday accused the Congress of making several attempts to stall the construction of the <keyword id="19922118" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ram-temple" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Ram temple" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Ram temple">Ram temple</keyword> in Ayodhya and for insulting <keyword id="19897033" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Lord-Ram" source="keywords">Lord Ram</keyword> by rejecting the invitation for the '<keyword id="20167362" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pran-Pratishta" source="keywords">pran pratishta</keyword>' ceremony. Addressing an election rally here, Modi also said that the Congress is immersed in the swamp of appeasement and can never come out of it. "The Congress made several efforts so that the Ram temple in Ayodhya is not constructed. But when the people of the country made such a beautiful temple by contributing every penny, and when the temple people forgave all your sins, and invited you for the 'pran prathistaa', you insulted Lord Ram by rejecting the invitation and expelled leaders, who attended it, for six years," he said. "Every family of the country contributed according to their devotion. The people of Pilibhit also gifted a huge flute to Ayodhya. But, the people of <keyword id="20389973" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="INDI-alliance" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="INDI alliance" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="INDI alliance">INDI alliance</keyword> had hatred even before the construction of Ram temple and they have hatred even today," Modi said. Recalling the contributions made by former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh for the construction of the temple, he said, "Our Kalyan Singh ji dedicated his life and government for the Ram temple". Singh, who was one of the prominent faces of the Ram mandir agitation, was chief minister of Uttar Pradesh when the <keyword id="20266496" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Babri-mosque" source="keywords">Babri mosque</keyword> was demolished in 1992. Sharpening his attack on the Congress, Modi said, "Congress is so immersed in the swamp ('daldal') of appeasement that it can never get out of it. The manifesto prepared by the Congress seems to be that of Muslim League rather than that of the Congress." The prime minister also asserted that his government is working towards the goal of making a developed India. Amid the various difficulties being faced by the world now, India is showing that there is nothing impossible for it to achieve, he said, adding this has been possible due to every single vote of the people. "No matter how difficult the goal is, if India is determined to achieve it, it will definitely achieve. Today, with this inspiration and energy, we are working towards the resolution of a developed India," he said. "Amidst the difficulties of the entire world, India is showing that there is nothing impossible for it," he said. Modi said that there was a time when the Congress government used to ask for help from the world, but during the Covid pandemic, medicines were made available to the whole world from India. "When India became the world's fastest growing economic power, were you (people) proud of it or not? When our Chandrayaan hoisted the tricolour on the moon, were you proud or not? The grand G20 summit held in India was praised all over the world," he added. "When the country becomes strong, the world listens to it," he added.

This visit is widely seen as an effort to reset ties between the two nations after a year of tense relations. <keyword id="20101322" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="President-Muizzu" source="keywords">President Muizzu</keyword>, who arrived in India on Sunday for a five-day visit, received a red carpet welcome. During a joint press briefing, President Muizzu expressed heartfelt gratitude to India, thanking President Droupadi Murmu, <keyword id="19899320" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="PM-Modi" source="keywords">PM Modi</keyword> and the people of India for their warm reception. He emphasised the Maldives' deep-rooted ties with India, noting that tourism — especially Indian visitors—remains a crucial pillar of the Maldivian economy. “India is our largest source market for tourists, and we hope to welcome even more Indian visitors in the future,” Muizzu remarked. Key areas of cooperation discussed included economic ties and maritime security, critical given the Maldives' position in the Indian Ocean. Following their talks, India granted the financially struggling Maldives a rollover of USD 100 million in Treasury bills, in addition to formalising a <keyword id="23458604" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="currency-swap-agreement" source="keywords">currency swap agreement</keyword> and a ₹3,000 crore currency swap. Prime Minister Modi characterised the "development partnership" as a key component of India-Maldives relations, asserting that India has consistently prioritised the needs of the Maldivian people. "Our development partnership is vital to our relationship with the Maldives, and we have always placed importance on the priorities of its people. This year, SBI rolled over USD 100 million in Treasury Bills, and a USD 400 million currency swap agreement was signed based on the Maldives' requirements," he explained. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="106837748" title="Withdraw troops by mid-March, Maldives tells India" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>In September, India announced that the <keyword id="19934368" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="State-Bank-of-India" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="State Bank of India" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="State Bank of India">State Bank of India</keyword> would purchase Maldivian government bonds worth USD 50 million, following a similar USD 50 million transaction in May 2024. Additionally, Prime Minister Modi and President Muizzu witnessed the first <keyword id="20563654" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="RuPay-card" source="keywords">RuPay card</keyword> payment transaction launched in the Maldives and virtually inaugurated the runway at Hanimaadhoo International Airport. Modi stated that India and the Maldives would soon be connected through UPI. "Recently, we launched the RuPay card in the Maldives, and in the future, we will link both countries via UPI," he said during a joint press briefing. Muizzu also expressed his desire to conclude a <keyword id="19945642" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Free-Trade-Agreement" source="keywords">Free Trade Agreement</keyword> with India, a step he believes will open the door to greater Indian investment in the Maldives. Modi emphasised India's commitment to supporting the Maldives through various initiatives, including supplying essential commodities and Covid vaccines, inaugurating airports, and constructing social housing. He noted that a new drinking water project is now operational on 28 islands, providing clean water to over 30,000 residents. The leaders also discussed the opening of consulates in Addu and Bengaluru. Tensions between India and the Maldives escalated following Muizzu's election last year, which saw a shift towards a pro-China stance and the promise to withdraw Indian troops stationed in the archipelago. His visit to China before India in January had raised eyebrows in New Delhi, as it was perceived as a slight. However, since attending Modi's swearing-in ceremony for a third term in June, Muizzu has moderated his anti-Indian rhetoric, signalling a thaw in relations. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has stated that the discussions provided "a new impetus" to the relationship. This meeting likely marks a positive turn in Indo-Maldivian relations, setting the stage for further cooperation between the two South Asian neighbours.

Maldives President Muizzu met with PM Modi in Delhi today. Here’s how it went!

The Gyaltsuen Jetsun Pema Wangchuk Mother and Child Hospital is a state-of-the-art 150-bedded facility that has been built with the assistance of the Government of India in Thimphu. "A boost to partnership in healthcare. PM @narendramodi together with PM @tsheringtobgay of <keyword id="20047250" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bhutan" source="keywords">Bhutan</keyword> inaugurated the Gyaltsuen Jetsun Pema Mother and Child Hospital in Thimphu. The state-of-the-art hospital is a shining example of India-Bhutan development cooperation," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a post on X. India has supported the development of the hospital in two phases. The first phase was constructed at a cost of Rs 22 crore and has been operational since 2019. The construction of the second phase was taken up in 2019, as part of the 12th Five Year Plan at a cost of Rs 119 crore, and was completed recently, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a press release. It said that the newly constructed hospital would add value to the quality of mother and child health services in Bhutan. The new facility will house state-of-the-art facilities for Pediatrics, Gynecology and Obstetrics, Anesthesiology, Operation Theatre, Neonatal Intensive Care and Pediatric Intensive Care. "The Gyaltsuen Jetsun Pema Wangchuk Mother and Child Hospital stands as a shining example of India-Bhutan partnership in health care," it added. "Bhutan has been receiving a lot of support from India, especially in the health sector, starting from the three referral hospitals and also other health facilities," Bhutan Health Minister Tandin Wangchuk told PTI Videos. "It is an honour for us to have Shri Narendra Modi here, inaugurating the Gyaltsuen Jetsun Pema Mother and Child Hospital," he said, adding that this hospital is purely dedicated to the mothers and the children of Bhutan. He added that there is a proposal for a cancer hospital which will come up on this campus only. "We are referring all the cancer patients to India. So after the completion of the cancer hospital, I think this will also enhance the tertiary care of health services in Bhutan," he added. Modi, who arrived in Bhutan on Friday for a two-day State visit to further cement India's unique relations with the <keyword id="19964652" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="himalayan" source="keywords">Himalayan</keyword> nation, called on the King of Bhutan, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and held talks with Prime Minister Tobgay on Friday. He also announced that India will provide support of Rs 10,000 crore to Bhutan over the next five years. Bhutan's King Wangchuck conferred the 'Order of the Druk Glyalpo' to Prime Minister Modi at a public ceremony here on Friday, making him the first foreign Head of the Government to receive the honour. The award recognises Prime Minister Modi's contribution to strengthening the India-Bhutan friendship and his people-centric leadership. "It is with great humility that I accept the Order of the Druk Gyalpo. I am grateful to HM the King of Bhutan for presenting the Award. I dedicate it to the 140 crore people of India. I am also confident that India-Bhutan relations will keep growing and benefit our citizens," Modi wrote in a post on X on Friday night. India and Bhutan established diplomatic relations in 1968.

PM Modi inaugurates modern hospital built with Indian assistance in Bhutan

Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="narendra-modi" source="Orion">Narendra Modi</keyword> on Tuesday shared stage with NCP chief <keyword id="6364749" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="sharad-pawar" source="Orion">Sharad Pawar</keyword> at the <keyword id="161929" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="lokmanya-tilak" source="Orion">Lokmanya Tilak</keyword> National Award ceremony in Pune. Before the ceremony commenced, the two leaders were seen exchanging jovial banter, with Pawar patting Modi's back, as others, including the NCP chief's estranged nephew and Deputy CM <keyword id="6366108" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ajit-pawar" source="Orion">Ajit Pawar</keyword>, looked on. While CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM <keyword id="6355042" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="devendra-fadnavis" source="Orion">Devendra Fadnavis</keyword> shook hands with Sharad Pawar, Ajit Pawar skipped the opportunity, and walked past his uncle. Modi and Sharad Pawar met for the first time after a split in Pawar's party, following rebellion by Ajit Pawar, who joined the BJP and Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government last month. Pawar attended the event held to confer Modi with the Lokmanya Tilak Award in recognition of his "supreme leadership" and for "awakening the feeling of patriotism among citizens". Speaking at the event, Sharad Pawar took a dig at Modi, saying that "<keyword id="6360525" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="shivaji-maharaj" source="Orion">Shivaji Maharaj</keyword> never snatched anyone's land." The remarks are being seen as Pawar's dig over BJP allegedly orchestrating splits in <keyword id="6358821" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="shiv-sena" source="Orion">Shiv Sena</keyword> and NCP. Ahead of the event, Sharad Pawar did not entertain requests from members of the opposition INDIA alliance to not share stage with Modi. The INDIA alliance members felt this won't be good optics for the opposition at a time when a united front is being put up against the BJP. The award was constituted in 1983 to honour the legacy of Lokmanya Tilak and is presented every year on August 1, Tilak's death anniversary.

Meerut, Actor <keyword id="19935807" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="arun-govil" source="keywords">Arun Govil</keyword>, who has been fielded by the BJP from the <keyword id="21103234" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="meerut-lok-sabha" source="keywords">Meerut Lok Sabha</keyword> seat, said he has spent 17 years of his life in the city and was looking forward to serving the people there. The actor, who became a household name after essaying the role of Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar's "Ramayan", reached Meerut on Tuesday evening and held meetings with the local BJP leaders and office bearers. "I was born here (in Meerut) and spent my childhood here. The first 17 years of my life were spent in Meerut.

This (MP) will be another form of service to the people." In response to a question regarding the Ram temple, Govil said after the consecration ceremony, the entire country and the world have become "rammay".
