‘Bengal safer for women’

Sandeshkhali has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. A team of the West Bengal Commission for Women had visited Sandeshkhali in North 24-Parganas in February. It is still awaiting the final report from the police on the same.

‘Ray’s films can’t be remade’

‘Article 370 could have gone earlier’

If I look towards Kashmir, Article 370 could have been removed earlier as neither the issue is related to any religion or party.

Likewise, if we talk about the Ram Janmabhoomi issue, our ideology doesn’t say that we are against any religion but it says we respect all religions.

Govt. must spend more on education

Mutual reassurance and understanding between educational institutions and parents are needed immediately. Government should take bold steps and make clear announcements with regard to Covid restrictions and the opening of institutions. We must use technology for improving methods of education.

‘Sustainability key to Ganga Mission’

The first step is to encourage zero-based natural farming in the river basin area. The use of chemicals not only harms the soil but also contaminates the river. The zero-based farming would not only improve water quality but also increase biodiversity in the area.

UP’s growth will empower India

Our government has made unprecedented improvements in infrastructure, energy, most significantly improved law and order and ensured safety for women in the state. Our GSDP was seventh in India in 2017.

‘India has a people first government’

My primary focus has been toward making Mysore a Cyber Security Hub. A white paper was released by my foundation regarding the same and we have been making strides toward ensuring that Cyber Security will become an economic driver for our city. Other than this initiative, we continue supporting efforts at bettering our educational infrastructure in and around Mysore via many social organisations in the city.
