Winter chill sweeps through parts of Maharashtra; Baramati shivers at 7.8 degrees Celsius
A cold wave is sweeping across parts of Maharashtra with the minimum temperature slipping to single digit at several places in the state, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Tuesday.
Baramati in Pune district recorded a minimum temperature of 7.8 degrees Celsius, while Pune and Nashik districts recorded 8 degrees Celsius.
The mercury dipped in Jalgaon to 8.3 degrees Celsius, while Parbhani, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Dharashiv recorded the minimum temperature of 9.4, 10 and 10.2 degrees Celsius, respectively, as per the IMD.
Malegaon in Nashik district recorded a minimum temperature of 9.8 degrees Celsius.
In state capital Mumbai, the Santacruz observatory (representative of suburbs) recorded a minimum temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, while Colaba (in south Mumbai) clocked 20 degrees Celsius, the IMD said.
According to the IMD, the mercury levels will gradually rise over the next few days.
In Nakuleshwar Borgaon village in Latur, a sugarcane farmer was shocked to find his field covered in a white blanket of frosty dew, a phenomenon that is very rare to see in this otherwise parched district in central Maharashtra.
When the cultivator, Vitthal Salunke, went to his sugarcane field early on Monday morning, surprise awaited him as he watered the farm. Soon, he found that the entire field was covered in a white blanket of frost as the winter chill had turned the dew into snow.

Delhi govt not implementing many central schemes, farmers losing out: Agri minister
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan on Tuesday criticised the Delhi government for not implementing several central schemes meant for farmers, calling it "extremely unfortunate" that farmers in the region were being deprived of crucial benefits.
Responding to a query in the Lok Sabha during the Question Hour, Chauhan urged the Delhi government to prioritise the welfare of farmers and implement beneficial schemes, particularly in areas surrounding the national capital.
"I request the Delhi government to implement farmer-centric schemes for the benefit of farmers as there is agricultural land and farming activity around Delhi," he added.
South Delhi BJP MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri raised the issue claiming that the Delhi government was not implementing the schemes launched by the Modi government for the farmers across the country.
"The Centre works in coordination with state governments to ensure its schemes reach farmers. It is extremely unfortunate that the Delhi government is not availing of the benefits of many schemes, which is ultimately affecting the farmers," Chauhan said.
Referring to the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism for organic fertilisers, the minister emphasised that the Centre directly transferred the subsidies to farmers' accounts.
He assured that farmers who are engaged in organic farming in Delhi will receive full support from the Centre.
"We provide direct assistance to farmers through DBT for organic fertilisers. Even in Delhi, we will fully support and help farmers practising organic farming," he said.

Shah Criticizes Congress for not honouring Constitution, Urges Focus on People
Amit Shah: “I thought plenty of times, why doesn't Congress honour the Constitution? But now I know that if they did, they'd have to give up dynasty politics, their privileges, and their corrupt schemes which they implemented throughout their tenure. I recently got to know that Congress is making a committee to investigate why they lost in Haryana and Maharashtra. I want to tell them to start working for the people, and the people of India will make them victorious. No need for these tactics they are trying to use.”

Shah Defends Article 370 Removal, Criticizes Congress Actions
Amit Shah: "For removing Article 370, you need guts, and we did that. We removed 370 and 35A in this House itself. "
“People used to threaten us that there would be bloodshed, but no one could do anything when we did what we said we’d do. Kashmir got first position in all of our UTs. G20 delegates visited Kashmir. The Amarnath Yatra by devotees also got huge success. In 1983, when Parliament and the SC had struggles related to judicial review, at that time, Congress used powers against the Constitution to get what they wanted. Congress promoted the 4th highest lawyer, surpassing others in the SC, causing the other 3 to resign to save their Constitution.”

In February, they amended the Constitution so that a quorum was not required in the Parliament and Rajya Sabha; even five members would suffice for the President to proceed with the work.”

Amit Shah: "I am not the Prime Minister; I am the Prime Servant. Some say that no case is filed against me. Even though the Constitution gives me rights, we can nullify those rights and make reforms. During the time of Indira Gandhi, the 45th Constitutional Amendment was made. Just this morning, in the other House, the bill for 'One Nation, One Election' was discussed. The Congress Party and their allies don’t have the right to change the term of the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies. When the bill comes, we will discuss it. But, let me remind you, in the 42nd Amendment, on January 3, they extended the term of the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies from five years to six years, fearing they would lose if elections were held earlier. The Constitution was not amended to extend the term."

'Were changes made to strengthen our democracy?' asks Shah
Amit Shah: “What was achieved? Were changes made to strengthen our democracy? Were changes made to give rights to those who did not have them, or were the changes made to consolidate state power? These changes reveal the character of the party, the way it functions, and the party's belief in its constitution. I won’t go too much into the amendments to the Constitution, but I would like to mention the four amendments made by the two major parties.”
“The first amendment was made on June 18, 1951, and it was necessary for the Constitution to be amended by the Constituent Assembly. After the Constitution was adopted, Congress lacked the patience to wait until general elections were held. At that time, the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were not yet formed, and the amendment was brought in. The purpose of adding Article 19(A) was to curtail individual freedom, particularly the freedom of expression. This amendment was introduced under the leadership of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.”
"I have been serving in the legislature and Parliament, including the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, for 30 years, and have had the experience of delivering speeches in Parliament. Members can only oppose if my statements are false; if my statements are not true, let me know. The first amendment was brought in to control certain aspects."
“Indira Gandhi, the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru, was the Prime Minister, and the Congress Party was in power. On November 5, 1971, the 24th Amendment to the Constitution was made. Through this amendment, Members of Parliament were given fundamental rights, and citizens were granted the right to work.”

'Constitution Must Evolve, Leadership Determines Its Success', says Shah
Amit Shah: “It has been 75 years since the Constitution was adopted, and there should definitely be a discussion on how our political parties and government have advanced it over time. I believe this discussion is timely. After the creation of our Constitution, Dr. Ambedkar, with great thought and consideration, made a statement that I would like to present before the House. He said that no matter how good a constitution is, it can turn bad if the people responsible for implementing it are not good. Similarly, even a bad constitution can become good if the people running it play a positive and constructive role. Over the past 75 years, both these aspects have played out well, and I would like to present these facts before the House and, through it, to the people of the country.”
"Our Constitution has never been considered immutable. With time, the country must evolve, the laws must change, and society must also adapt."

India's Constitution, Adorned by Nandalal Bose', says Shah
Amit shah: “Our Constitution, which is built on democratic traditions, consists of 295 articles, 22 parts, and 12 schedules. It is the most profound and refined creation of human values, surpassing any other constitution in the world. Therefore, we all take pride in it and always bow our heads in reverence to this Constitution.”
"I would like to make a special mention of Nandalal Bose, who was the last descendant of Rabindranath Tagore and a great artist. He dedicated four years to adorn the Constitution, and in doing so, he helped depict events that honor the Constitution. Through his artwork, he conveyed messages of history, religion, culture, and the highest human values. You will find images of Lord Ram, Buddha, Mahavir, Guru Gobind Singh Ji, and depictions of our educational ideals and rights through the figures of Ram, Sita, and Lakshman. The teachings of the Bhagavad Gita are also represented, and figures like Shivaji and Rani Laxmibai are given their due place. "
"Some members have remarked that the level of discussions has fallen so low that we are now talking about pictures. However, if one cannot understand the message, then the Constitution loses its purpose. These images represent the long-standing history of our nation and uplift its spirit. Our Constitution is not a mere imitation of other constitutions; we have studied every constitution thoroughly, and as stated in the Rig Veda, we accept what is good and virtuous from every corner of the world. I am open to receiving good thoughts, and we have embraced the best of all."

'Sardar Patel's Efforts Unified India, Strengthening Democracy for 75 Years' says Amit Shah
"After 75 years of accepting the Constitution, when we look back, I would like to thank Sardar Patel. It is because of his tireless efforts that the nation stands united and strong before the world. I want to convey this through this House that 75 years have passed, and despite challenges from our neighbors and around the world, many nations that gained freedom after us have faced setbacks, and their democracies have not succeeded. Our democracy, however, has reached deep into every corner, undergoing numerous changes without spilling a drop of blood. We have made reforms based on ideas, campaigns, and by silencing arrogance, all for the people of this country.", Shah said.

'India's Constitution is the Most Detailed, Shaped by Extensive Deliberations and Public Feedback', says Amit Shah
“Our Constitution is the most detailed written constitution in the world, surpassing all traditional norms. The Constituent Assembly had 299 members, including representatives from 22 religions, castes, and communities, as well as from princely states. Each state was represented, ensuring an inclusive representation in shaping India's future. The process of drafting the Constitution moved forward with extensive deliberations for two years, 11 months, and 18 days. There were in-depth discussions on the country’s future, the rules to govern the nation, and how to incorporate the country’s traditions while making a commitment to move forward. After such detailed discussions, committees were formed, and work was divided. A 60-member drafting committee was created, and the public was invited to give their feedback. It is unlikely that there is any constitution in the world that was presented to the public for comments, followed by such detailed discussions on the feedback”, Amit Shah said in Rajya Sabha.
