Mathura (UP) (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taken the country forward while keeping the last person at the centre of governance, BJP national president Nitin Nabin said on Sunday.

Navin, who reached Mathura for the first time after being elected BJP national president, said the transformation visible in Uttar Pradesh reflected the changing face of the country.

“As I was coming here today, I felt that the roads in Uttar Pradesh are better than those seen abroad. This itself is testimony to how the country is changing,” he said.

He said Prime Minister Modi has ensured development while keeping the last person at the centre of governance, asserting that the weak and the marginalised have been the focus of his policies.

Referring to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s concept of Antyodaya, Nabin said it can now be said with confidence that the prime minister’s vision of development is focused on the poorest and the most marginalised.

Navin reached Mathura from Delhi via the Yamuna Expressway, where BJP workers accorded him a rousing welcome at the Bajna Cut in the Mant area.

“I have come here today to meet the people of the Mant Assembly constituency. By God’s grace, my first programme after becoming the BJP national president has been scheduled at Mathura, the birthplace of Lord Krishna,” he said.

The BJP chief appealed to people to contribute to the development of the state and the country, saying Prime Minister Modi is leading India firmly on the path of growth.

"Prime Minister often states that when he takes one step forward, the country’s 140 crore people walk with him, and with such collective strength, no force can stop India from progressing," he said.

Nabin said there was a time when India’s prime minister could not look world leaders in the eye, but those days are a thing of the past.

“Today, Narendra Modi leads the world, and India’s prestige has risen globally,” he said.

Nabin, along with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, visited the Shri Vrindavan Chandrodaya temple located on the Vrindavan Marg by ISKCON Bengaluru, where they listened to the Prime Minister’s ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme.

Kurnool (Andhra Pradesh) (PTI): Four persons, including a woman were arrested for allegedly administering an HIV injection to a doctor here, police said on Sunday. The doctor is said to be the wife of the woman's ex-lover.

The accused were identified as B Boya Vasundhara (34), a resident of Kurnool, Konge Jyothi (40), a nurse at a private hospital in Adoni, and her two children, who are in their 20s. They were arrested on January 24, police said.

"After conspiring with three others and staging a road accident, Vasundhara allegedly injected an HIV virus into a doctor, who is the wife of her former lover," the official told PTI.

Police said the accused got HIV-infected blood samples from patients receiving treatment at a government hospital, saying that the samples were required for research purposes.

According to police, the accused claims to have stored the infected blood in a refrigerator and later injected the same sample into the victim during the attack.

Unable to accept that her former lover had married another woman, the accused conspired to separate the couple and injected the victim with an HIV virus while pretending to help her after a deliberate road accident, police said.

According to police, the incident occurred on January 9 at around 2.30 pm when the victim, an assistant professor at a private medical college in Kurnool, was returning home on a scooter after duty for lunch.

Police said two persons on a motorcycle intentionally rammed her scooter near the KC Canal at Vinayak Ghat, causing her to fall and sustain injuries, adding that the accused then approached her under the guise of offering help.

While attempting to take her into an autorickshaw, Vasundhara allegedly administered an HIV injection before fleeing the spot when the victim raised an alarm, police said.

The victim's husband, also a doctor, lodged a complaint at Kurnool III Town Police Station on January 10, following which a case was registered under Sections 126(2), 118(1), 272 read with 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
