If Modi wins in 2019 poll, we won’t see next election in 2024: AICC secy
Udupi, July 19: AICC secretary and State Congress in-charge PC Vishnunath said that if Prime Minister Narendra Modi elected in 2019 Lok Sabha election and formed the government at the centre, the chances of having such general election in 2024 are very bleak.
Inaugurating the third national executive meeting of the two-day All India Fishermen Congress Committee here on Wednesday, he said that 2019 Lok Sabha election would become a ‘do or die’ situation for both Congress and the country. Despite giving good governance, the party did not get good response in the last Assembly election in the state. In spite of that the Congress has succeeded in keeping the BJP away from the power. The country was in a critical condition. The forthcoming Lok Sabha election would become a ‘do or die’ situation for protecting the secular fabric of the country, he said.
People should come together to fight against anti-fishermen, farmers, labourers and small traders policies of Narendra Modi government and protect the democracy in the country, he said.
First manifesto for fishermen
For the first time in the history of the country, the Congress has prepared a separate manifesto for the welfare of the fishermen. So far, no political party had prepared such a manifesto in the country. The manifesto was prepared keeping in mind the 2019 Lok Sabha election. The resolutions to be taken in this conference would be included in the manifesto, he said.
All India Fishermen Congress Committee president TN Prathapan presided over the conference in which district Congress president Janardhan Tonse, senior vice president Uday Kumar Shetty Muniyalu, AICC member Amrita Shenoy, Committee general secretary M Peer Saheb, Secretary Kiran Kumar Udyavara, State secretary Upendra Mendon, District committee president Manoj Karkera, Committee national working president and former MLA UR Sabhapathi and others were present.
Resolutions
Separate ministry for fishermen
All India Fishermen Congress Committee’s third national executive committee meeting has taken some resolutions to prevail upon the central government to fulfill their demands.
- Separate Ministry for the welfare of fishermen in the country
- Traditional fishermen communities across the country should be included in the SC/ST category based on the demands in each state.
- A separate Commission should be constituted to study the socio-economic and educational condition of the fishermen community and implement its recommendations.
- Decision should be taken in the national level on waiving off the loans availed from nationalized, scheduled and cooperative banks.
- Fishermen Development Board should be constituted in the national level and states should adopt it.

Rajpal Yadav apologises for Diwali video after backlash, deletes post
Mumbai: Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav recently found himself in a controversy following a video he shared on Diwali. In the video, Yadav urged people not to burst firecrackers, citing concerns over noise and air pollution, as well as the distress caused to animals. However, this message sparked backlash on social media, where users criticised him, citing his past endorsement of non-vegetarian brands. Following the criticism, Yadav deleted the video and issued a public apology in a new post, expressing regret for any offence caused.
In his apology, Yadav wished everyone a happy Diwali and said, "Two days ago, I shared a video on my social media, which I have now deleted. I sincerely apologise if it hurt anyone's feelings. Celebrate Diwali joyfully, stay healthy, and be happy."
After Yadav’s apology, several people expressed disappointment, questioning whether environmental awareness is being unfairly targeted. Some users remarked on the trend of trolling those promoting environmental responsibility, while others criticised Yadav's decision to apologise, calling it an unwarranted concession to trolls. Noted journalist Dr. Mukesh Kumar commented on the situation, stating that Yadav should have stood by his message. Kumar argued that voices promoting positive change should not be silenced by what he termed as the influence of "uneducated masses manipulated by political agendas."
Amid the controversy, Rajpal Yadav returns to the big screen as Chhote Pandit in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan. In an interview, Yadav mentioned that he would be portraying the character in a fresh style, adding a new dimension to the familiar role.
Rajpal Yadav's case clearly shows the condition of many Indian's today

इतनी जल्दी सरेंडर नहीं करना चाहिए था राजपाल जी। आपको अपने काम पर, अपने उद्देश्य पर यक़ीन होना चाहिए और उस पर डटे रहना चाहिए।

इस समय असभ्य, आशालीन और उपद्रवकारी लोगों की बाढ़ आई है। ये इतने बुद्धिहीन हैं कि आपके इतने महत्वपूर्ण संदेश को समझ ही नहीं पाए होंगे।
