People’s trust is my shield, abuses will have no impact: PM Modi

[ad_1]
New Delhi: In a stinging attack on the Opposition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the trust reposed by crores of people was his protective shield which cannot be breached by abuse and allegations from his detractors.
Replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address in Lok Sabha, Modi said the world was looking at India with hope amid instability in some parts of the globe due to the once-in-a-century pandemic and conflicts.
“But some people who are neck deep in frustration refuse to accept India’s growth story. They cannot see the achievements of 140 crore Indians,” Modi said, targeting the Opposition.
The prime minister said people know Modi has come to their help in times of crisis. “How will they agree with your abuses and allegations,” he told the Opposition.
“People trust in Modi not due to newspaper headlines or TV visuals but due to my years of dedication in the service of the people,” Modi said.
BJP members broke into chants of Modi, Modi’ as the prime minister listed out the public welfare initiatives of his government. Opposition members raised the slogan of Adani, Adani’ to counter the BJP members.
Opposition MPs including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had targeted the government while raising the Adani-Hindenburg issue during the debate.
The prime minister said the Opposition had wasted the past nine years in levelling baseless allegations instead of indulging in constructive criticism.

“When you lose elections, blame the EVMs, criticise the Election Commission, if the Supreme Court does not give a favourable verdict, criticise the apex court.
“If corruption is being probed, abuse the investigative agencies. If the Army displays valour, abuse the armed forces, level allegations against them. When there is talk of economic progress, criticise the RBI,” Modi said.
“In the past nine years, compulsive criticism has replaced constructive criticism,” the prime minister said.
He described the 10 years of UPA rule as India’s “lost decade”.
“The decade before 2014 will always be remembered as ‘The Lost Decade’, but the decade of 2030 is India’s decade,” Modi said.
“No one can forget the attacks of 2008. The lack of courage in acting against terrorism led to a bloodbath and the loss of lives of our innocent citizens. It’s synonymous with the UPA’s misrule,” he said.
The prime minister said India was emerging as a manufacturing hub and the world now sees its prosperity in the country’s growth.
He said President Droupadi Murmu’s address to Parliament was an inspiration for everyone.
Raising slogans, members of the BRS, Left parties and some members of the Congress walked out of Lok Sabha in protest as the prime minister was speaking.

Ready to take taunts, will work for Telangana people’s welfare: Tamilisai

[ad_1]
Puducherry: Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Thursday said the state government has ‘undervalued’ the importance of the Republic Day and has not held any official function to mark the occasion.
Soundararajan, who is the Lt Governor of Puducherry, voiced concern over violations in observing conventions by the BRS regime in Telangana, which went against the vision of Dr B R Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution.
The Governor said she was, “fed up with such breaches” and “as the going goes, even if someone spits at me, I will simply wipe off.” Seen as a hint at the strained relationship between the Telangana Raj Bhavan and the state government and taunts hurled at her, the governor said the scenario would not deter her from working for the people’s welfare in the Telugu state.
By not holding any official function, the BRS government has ‘committed violations’ and this necessitated a citizen in the State to move the High Court for relief, she told reporters here on the sidelines of ‘At Home’ reception in Raj Nivas.
The Telangana High Court has also ‘strongly condemned’ the state government for its failure to celebrate the day in the state. “I have however felicitated some persons at Raj Bhavan and gave respect to the national flag before coming to Puducherry,” she said.
Soundararajan, who flew down to Puducherry from Telangana said she had written to the Centre on the developments.
“I keep sending reports to the Centre on several developments in Telangana every month,” she noted.
The Telangana government should have held the ceremonial function at Parade Ground in Hyderabad. “It is amusing that the government has cited coronavirus as the reason for not holding the function in the ground. But a function was held recently with more than five lakh people being present.”

On delay in commencement of the R-Day celebrations in Puducherry, she said, “I am not responsible for this. The flight I was coming to Puducherry could not land on time because of bad weather and only after getting clearance of the Meteorological department did the flight land at Puducherry. I however tender my apology for the delayed start of the celebration.”
She was all praise for the territorial government for holding the Republic day celebrations in a grand manner.

Why are energy companies forcing their way into people’s homes?

[ad_1]
With energy bills soaring, many people are struggling to pay their bills – and those in the most difficult situations say they are having to skip meals to keep the heating on. But some people have found that their energy companies have taken drastic action if they fall behind on their payments – entering their homes to switch them to prepayment meters, or doing it remotely through their smart meters.
With prepayment often more expensive than paying energy bills monthly or quarterly, and companies using it to claw back debt, is this exacerbating the problems vulnerable customers face? Alex Lawson tells Hannah Moore that campaigners have found customers have been forced to “self-disconnect” – with 3 million unable to top up their pre-payment meters some point last year.
Will a fall in wholesale gas prices mean the situation improves – and what action are politicians taking to ease the problem?
