Kalaburagi, August 24: Opposition Leader in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to stop pretending for the death of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Speaking to reporters here on Friday, Kharge said that “how many times did Modi meet Vajpayee when the latter was alive? Modi, who did not turn up towards Vajpayee when the latter was alive, is now pretending after the death of the leader. Modi, who did not even respond when former deputy prime minister LK Advani who taught him ‘Rajadharma’, wished him, is now pretending after Vajpayee’s death. Vajpayee’s death shocked us. But we will not politicize his death. But we will not sit idle just watching Modi’s pretentions. Though he was strong follower of RSS and BJP, Vajpayee had lived with endurance with all communities. He believed in democratic system”, he said.

Had the central government given Rs 2,000 crore assistance to Kerala, taking assistance from other countries would not have happened. The central government should give financial assistance to Kodagu on the lines of Kerala, he demanded.

Flights would fly from Kalaburagi airport from August 26 on experimental basis, for which all preparations were completed. But the Indian Aviation Authority has to give permission for this experimental flying, he said.

New Delhi: Indian Railways, long criticized for issues like overcrowding, cleanliness, and food quality, is now facing a new challenge: allegations of passengers stealing railway property. A recent viral video has brought the issue to light, sparking widespread public debate.

The video, reportedly filmed at Prayagraj station, shows railway staff inspecting passenger luggage on the platform and recovering items such as bed sheets and towels, allegedly taken from train coaches. Shared on Reddit by user "whoismayankk," the footage has amassed over 4,200 upvotes and generated a heated discussion in the comments section.

Viewers reacted strongly, condemning the theft and demanding stricter penalties. One commenter criticized the lack of civic sense, advocating for tougher rules to address societal behavior. Others expressed disbelief at passengers stealing marked items like blankets and linens, with one remarking on the audacity of such actions despite visible IRCTC logos.

Some users linked the issue to broader societal concerns. "What is a country if not the amalgamation of its people?" wrote one, highlighting the moral decline among certain segments of the population. Another attributed the problem to passengers undermining the reputation of Indian Railways, which, despite being one of the world’s most extensive networks, struggles to maintain a world-class standard due to such incidents.
