New law for Jawans: Deputy CM Parameshwar
Kargil Vijay Diwas Celebration
Bengaluru, July 26: Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar has said that the government is trying to bring in a new law so that the families of martyred and retired jawans can get all their funds and facilities within three months.
The deputy chief minister said this after paying a rich tribute to the martyred jawans at the The National Military Memorial Park during the celebration of Kargil Vijay Diwas.
“More than 500 jawans were martyred in the 1999’s Kargil war. Their service and sacrifice are Commemorative. We celebrate this day to commemorate them. Many jawans survived in the Kargil war. I salute them too. Martyrs are ideal for today's younger generation,” he added.
Those jawans who are securing borders have dedicated their lives to this country. The process of giving compensation to them should not be delayed. That is why the Army Welfare Board was opened. Even then there is an allegation of delay in the process. So we are going to bring a new law. A law will be made so that the families of martyred and retired jawans can get all their funds and facilities within three months.
Responding to the BJP’s Ramanagar-to-Bengaluru Padayatra, he said the BJP has no moral right to take out such yatra. Instead of the yatra, they must go to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and ask for farmers’ loan waiver if they have concerns towards farmers’ problems. Manmohan Singh had waived off Rs 72,000 crore loans. Let the central government do the same. Let them take its credit also.
There is no attempt to ban media’s entry into Vidhana Soudha. There is an increase in the movements of unnecessary persons in the Vidhana Soudha. Besides, the police department has advised that it is better to cut off the movements of unnecessary persons in the Vidhana Soudha for security purpose. "We have discussed this issue," he said.

BJP backs Amit Thackeray for Mahim, over Shinde Sena's candidate Sarvankar
Mumbai: The BJP has decided to support Amit Thackeray, son of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray, for the Mahim constituency, despite its alliance with Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena, which has fielded sitting MLA Sada Sarvankar. The decision has led to a three-way contest between Amit Thackeray, Sarvankar, and Shiv Sena (UBT)'s Mahesh Sawant in the upcoming Maharashtra assembly election on November 20.
The BJP reportedly expected Shinde’s Shiv Sena to withdraw Sarvankar in favour of Amit Thackeray, but Shiv Sena leaders argue this would risk losing votes to the Uddhav faction. Sarvankar, a three-time MLA and long-time Shiv Sena loyalist, appealed to Raj Thackeray to reconsider his son’s candidature, citing his commitment to the party under Bal Thackeray's leadership.
Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis confirmed BJP's support for Amit Thackeray, while indicating ongoing discussions with Shinde Sena leaders. Amid the standoff, Raj Thackeray maintained confidence that the next government will be led by the BJP, with support from MNS, though MNS is not formally part of the Mahayuti alliance.
