Congress Expels Krishna Rao Dixit for Anti-Party Remarks, Praise of PM Modi

The Congress party has expelled senior leader and former Leader of Opposition in the Municipal Corporation, Krishna Rao Dixit (Kallu), for repeatedly criticising party policies and openly praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The disciplinary action follows a series of public statements by Dixit in support of the Prime Minister and in opposition to Congress ideology. The decision came after the party issued a show-cause notice to Dixit, demanding an explanation for his actions. However, instead of responding, Dixit continued to defy the party’s directiveтАФgiving interviews to the media and circulating audio messages that further condemned Congress positions. Congress disciplinary committee chief Maharaj Singh Patel had given Dixit three days to reply, but no response was received. On the committee’s recommendation, Dixit was officially removed from the party. Confirming the expulsion, Congress city district president Devendra Sharma stated, тАЬHe was warned and given a chance to explain, but he didnтАЩt respond. So we had no choice but to expel him.тАЭ Sharma further noted that Dixit had been in close contact with BJP leaders and had even shared the stage with them at various events. тАЬDespite that, the party held back, hoping for a course correction. But as he continued to attack Congress ideology, strict action was taken,тАЭ Sharma added. Party insiders say that Dixit has maintained close ties with Jyotiraditya Scindia since the latterтАЩs departure from Congress to join the BJP. It is widely expected that Dixit will formally join the BJP in the coming days, likely in the presence of Scindia or Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav.

IndiaтАЩs Unemployment Rate at 5.1% in April 2025, Shows First Monthly PLFS Report

The country’s unemployment rate stood at 5.1% in April 2025, according to the newly released monthly Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) by the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation. This marks the first time that unemployment data has been released on a monthly basis, as part of efforts to enable real-time monitoring of the labour market. The data, based on the Current Weekly Status (CWS) approach, reveals that the overall unemployment rate for persons of all ages was 5.1% last month. Unemployment among men was marginally higher at 5.2%, while it stood at 5% among women. The report highlighted a significantly higher unemployment rate among the youth aged 15тАУ29 years, which stood at 13.8% nationally. Urban areas reported a much higher joblessness rate at 17.2% compared to 12.3% in rural regions. When broken down by gender, unemployment among young women (15тАУ29 years) reached 14.4% across the country, peaking at 23.7% in urban centres and 10.7% in villages. For young men in the same age group, the unemployment rate was recorded at 13.6% nationally, with urban areas at 15% and rural areas at 13%. The Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) for individuals aged 15 years and above was estimated at 55.6% in April 2025. Participation in rural areas was higher at 58%, compared to 50.7% in urban areas. Among males aged 15 and above, the LFPR was 79% in rural and 75.3% in urban areas. For females, the LFPR in rural regions was 38.2%. The Worker Population Ratio (WPR), which measures the proportion of employed individuals in the total population, stood at 52.8% at the national level. Rural areas had a WPR of 55.4%, while in urban areas it was 47.4%. Among females aged 15 and above, the WPR was 36.8% in rural and 23.5% in urban areas, with an overall female WPR of 32.5% nationwide. To meet the growing need for high-frequency labour market indicators, the PLFS sampling methodology was revised from January 2025. In April alone, 7,511 first-stage sampling units were surveyed across the country, reflecting a comprehensive national coverage.

Bhopal Municipal Corporation Struggles to Sell Over 1,000 Commercial Properties Worth тВ╣400 Crore

The Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) is facing a persistent real estate crisis, with over 1,059 commercial properties lying unsold across the city despite repeated auction attempts every 5тАУ6 months. These include shops, commercial halls, and plots spread across key locations like MP Nagar, Bairagarh, Nadra Bus Stand, Kokta Transport Nagar, and New Market. Key Issues Hindering Sales According to BMCтАЩs Revenue Department, the market value of these assets is estimated between тВ╣300тАУтВ╣400 crore. Still, efforts to monetize them have largely failed, raising concerns over revenue loss and asset underutilization. Breakdown of Unsold Assets What BMC Officials Say Mayor-In-Council (MIC) member Chhaya Thakur clarified that most properties have been developed recently and are not embroiled in legal disputes. тАЬThe sale process is often stalled due to insufficient competition. If thereтАЩs only one bidder, the sale is cancelled,тАЭ she said, emphasizing the need for improved marketing and investor engagement. Way Forward Urban planners and trade analysts suggest: Until then, these crores-worth of commercial assets remain locked and unused тАФ a costly burden on civic resources and a missed opportunity for urban economic growth.

Supreme Court Criticises Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah Over Remarks Against Colonel Sofiya Qureshi

The Supreme Court on Thursday strongly criticised BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah for his controversial remarks against Indian Army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi. The apex court emphasized that a person holding a constitutional office must exercise restraint and speak with responsibility, especially during sensitive national situations. A bench comprising Chief Justice of India BR Gavai and Justice Augustus George Masih made the observations while hearing ShahтАЩs plea seeking a stay on the Madhya Pradesh High CourtтАЩs May 14 order. The High Court had directed the registration of an FIR against Shah for his remarks concerning Colonel Qureshi, who had earlier briefed the media about the successful Operation Sindoor against Pakistan. The controversy began after a video of ShahтАЩs speech went viral, sparking backlash on social media. In his clarification, Shah claimed his statement was misunderstood and taken out of context. He stated that he intended to praise Colonel QureshiтАЩs bravery, saying, тАЬShe is above my real sister… If something slipped out in excitement and hurt someone, I apologise from the heartтАФnot once, but ten times.тАЭ Despite ShahтАЩs apology and his counselтАЩs plea for an early hearing and stay on the FIR, the Supreme Court refused to intervene immediately. The court instead posted the matter for a detailed hearing on Friday. CJI Gavai questioned the appropriateness of ShahтАЩs comments, saying, тАЬSuch a person holding a constitutional office should be responsible… Just because you are a ministerтАжтАЭ Meanwhile, an FIR was registered against Shah under Sections 152, 196(1)(b), and 197(1)(c) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), as directed by the High Court. The court had taken suo motu cognisance of the remarks and ordered immediate legal action. The Supreme CourtтАЩs refusal to grant a stay, along with its sharp remarks, has further intensified scrutiny over the ministerтАЩs statement and the broader expectations of accountability from elected officials during national crises.

Trump Urges Apple CEO Tim Cook to Halt Expansion in India, Cites Tariff Concerns

US President Donald Trump has urged Apple CEO Tim Cook to reconsider the tech giantтАЩs ongoing expansion in India, expressing concerns over high tariffs and a preference for domestic manufacturing. Speaking at a business event in Doha, Trump revealed that he had a тАЬlittle problemтАЭ with Cook, stating, тАЬI said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good. You are coming up with $500 billion, but now I hear you are building all over India. I donтАЩt want you building in India.тАЭ Trump emphasized that Apple could choose to build in India only if it was committed to supporting the country independently. тАЬIndia is one of the highest tariff nations in the world, so it is very hard to sell in India. India can take care of themselves,тАЭ he asserted. The US President claimed New Delhi had offered Washington a deal involving minimal tariffs on US goods, though no such agreement has been confirmed by the Indian government. The remarks come at a time when Apple is actively shifting parts of its manufacturing base from China to India in response to tariff-related pressures from the US government. Apple CEO Tim Cook had recently indicated that the majority of iPhones sold in the US could soon be manufactured in India. Currently, Apple operates three production facilities in IndiaтАФtwo in Tamil Nadu and one in KarnatakaтАФrun by Foxconn and Tata Group. Two additional plants are also in development. In the fiscal year ending March, Apple assembled iPhones worth $22 billion in India, marking a 60 percent increase from the previous year. Despite TrumpтАЩs push for domestic manufacturing, Apple continues to see India as a strategic hub for its global production needs.

BSF Constable Purnam Kumar Shaw Returns Home After Detention by Pakistan Rangers

In a significant diplomatic development, BSF Constable Purnam Kumar Shaw, who had been held by the Pakistan Rangers since April 23, was repatriated to India on Wednesday morning. The formal handover took place at 10:30 am at the Attari-Wagah Joint Check Post in Amritsar, Punjab, following established border protocols. What Happened? Constable Shaw, a member of the 182nd Battalion of the Border Security Force, inadvertently crossed the International Border near Ferozepur, Punjab, while on operational duty. The BSF reported that Shaw, in full uniform and carrying his service weapon, stepped into Pakistani territory around 11:50 am on April 23, allegedly while moving to a shaded area to rest. He was swiftly apprehended by Pakistan Rangers and remained in their custody for 15 days before being handed back. FamilyтАЩs Reaction ShawтАЩs family, based in West Bengal, expressed immense relief and gratitude. тАЬWe thank the central government and BSF for securing his return. The past two weeks were sleepless and filled with worry. We are eagerly waiting to see him in person,тАЭ a family member said. Political Reactions The episode triggered widespread responses across political parties: Diplomatic Context BSF officials confirmed that flag meetings were held between Indian and Pakistani counterparts soon after Shaw’s detention. These efforts bore fruit as Pakistan returned Shaw without any formal charges or escalation. Notably, ShawтАЩs inadvertent crossing came just a day after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, in which 26 civilians were killed. The heightened tension following the attack had made ShawтАЩs detention even more sensitive, adding pressure on both sides to resolve the issue peacefully. Next Steps BSF stated that Constable Shaw is currently undergoing debriefing by security and intelligence officials to understand the circumstances of his crossing and ensure his physical and mental well-being.

India Firmly Rejects Nuclear Blackmail, Puts Indus Waters Treaty in Abeyance Amidst Escalation with Pakistan: MEA

In a resolute stance, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Tuesday reiterated that India will not succumb to nuclear blackmail or tolerate cross-border terrorism. Speaking at a media briefing, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal emphasized that India’s recent military actions were confined strictly to the conventional domain, refuting any suggestions of a nuclear dimension in the recent tensions with Pakistan. Jaiswal addressed speculation surrounding a reported meeting of PakistanтАЩs National Command Authority on May 10, clarifying that the meeting was later denied by Pakistani authorities, including their Foreign Minister who has тАЬon recordтАЭ dismissed any nuclear aspect. тАЬIndia has a firm stance that it will not give into nuclear blackmail or allow cross-border terrorism into invoking it,тАЭ Jaiswal stressed, underscoring IndiaтАЩs commitment to maintaining peace and security without compromising its sovereignty. Providing details on the recent ceasefire agreement, Jaiswal confirmed that the understanding was finalized directly between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of both nations. The agreement followed a formal request from PakistanтАЩs High Commission, with a phone call eventually taking place at 15:35 hrs on May 10 after initial technical delays. He credited IndiaтАЩs assertive military posture for compelling Pakistan to stop hostilities, declaring, тАЬOur message was clear and consistent.тАЭ Jaiswal issued a stern warning to Pakistan, stating, тАЬThat a nation which has nurtured terrorism on an industrial scale should think that it can escape the consequences is fooling itself.тАЭ He reiterated that the terrorist infrastructure targeted by Indian forces was not only responsible for the deaths of Indian citizens but also for numerous innocent lives across the globe. тАЬThere is now a new normal. The sooner Pakistan gets it, the better it is,тАЭ he said. In a major policy decision, the MEA also confirmed that India has placed the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) in abeyance, following a directive from the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS). тАЬThe IWT was concluded in the spirit of goodwill and friendship. However, Pakistan has violated these principles by promoting cross-border terrorism for decades,тАЭ said Jaiswal. The treaty will remain suspended until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably renounces terrorism.

India Warns of Retaliation Despite Ceasefire with Pakistan: PM Modi Sets Firm Conditions for Future Dialogue

In his first public remarks since the recent U.S.-brokered ceasefire, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that India has only тАЬpausedтАЭ its military operations and will retaliate on its own terms if another terrorist attack occurs on Indian soil. ModiтАЩs address came after both India and Pakistan confirmed no overnight firing along the heavily militarized border for the first time in days, signaling a temporary halt to escalating hostilities. The tensions flared after a brutal terrorist attack on tourists in Kashmir, which India blamed on Pakistan-backed militants, a charge that Islamabad vehemently denied. The violence brought the two nuclear-armed nations to the brink of broader conflict, raising global alarm about regional stability. Addressing the nation, Modi emphasized IndiaтАЩs red lines clearly: тАЬTerror and talks canтАЩt go together. Nor can terror and trade.тАЭ He added that if dialogue with Pakistan were to happen, it would be limited to issues of terrorism and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). He dismissed any broader negotiations and made no mention of U.S. President Donald TrumpтАЩs mediation offer, underscoring IndiaтАЩs firm diplomatic stance. Meanwhile, Pakistan celebrated the ceasefire in cities like Lahore, framing its acceptance as a move in the тАЬspirit of peace.тАЭ Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during a meeting with the Turkish ambassador, reiterated that Pakistan will not tolerate any violations of its sovereignty or territorial integrity. On Monday, senior military officials from both sides engaged via a hotline, discussing the status of the ceasefire and agreeing not to initiate any aggressive action. According to the Indian Army, the night passed peacefully across Jammu and Kashmir and other border regions, and no new incidents were reported. Both nations also expressed intent to consider reducing troop presence in forward areas, aiming to de-escalate tensions further. In a positive development, Pakistan reopened its airspace and resumed all flight operations, while India restored 32 airports across its northern and western sectors that had been shut during the conflict. Pakistani military spokesperson Lt. Gen. Ahmad Sharif stated that while Pakistan remains committed to the ceasefire, it will not be the first to break it. Despite the temporary calm, Modi made it clear that India remains vigilant, monitoring PakistanтАЩs every move. The message from New Delhi is unequivocal: any future attack will be met with decisive and preemptive action, and the тАЬnew normalтАЭ defined by Operation Sindoor remains firmly in place.
