Terminated Aaj Tak journalist Shyam Meera Singh continues calling PM Modi “Shameless” on Twitter
Says PM Modi is even politicizing India’s hockey win at Tokyo Olympics
New Delhi: Former Aaj Tak journalist who was terminated by the India Today Group for his tweets criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and calling him a “Shameless Prime Minister” on Thursday once again tweeted calling PM Modi “Shameless” adding that he was right in saying it before.
On Thursday morning when Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted a congratulatory tweet for the Indian men’s hockey team on their Bronze Medal finish in Tokyo Olympics, Shyam Meera Singh replied saying the PM was even politicizing an Olympic win of the country.
Modi in his tweet while congratulated the hockey team on their win adding that this is “New India”, a term popularized by him and BJP to highlight the era post-2014 when the BJP government came to power in India.
“Happy India! Inspired India! Proud India! The spectacular victory of the hockey team in Tokyo is a proud moment for the entire nation. This is New India, India full of confidence. Many congratulations and best wishes to the hockey team again.” Modi’s Hindi tweet read.
Shyam Meera Singh replied to the tweet and reminded PM Modi that India had won Gold in Hockey at the Olympics in 1948, 1952, 1956, and 1964 too. He also questioned if Modi believed “old India” was weak.
“Was old India weak? The hockey in which you are calling getting bronze as 'New India'. In the same hockey, India has won gold in 1948, 1952, 1956, and 1964. But you are politicizing this too. I had rightly said ‘Shameless Prime Minister’” he replied.
प्रफुल्लित भारत! प्रेरित भारत! गर्वित भारत!

क्यों भाई? पुराना भारत क्या कमजोर था? जिस हॉकी में कांस्य मिलने को ‘नया भारत’ कह रहे हो. उसी हॉकी में भारत ने 1948, 1952, 1956, 1964 में गोल्ड जीता है. पर आपने यहाँ भी राजनीति घुसा दी. मैंने सही ही कहा था “Shameless Prime Minister”

Telangana CM urges Amit Shah to increase sanctioned strength of IPS officers in state
Hyderabad (PTI): Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Wednesday night and urged him to increase the sanctioned strength of IPS officers to the state in view of its growing administrative and security needs.
The two leaders also discussed the recent surrender of several senior Maoist leaders before the Telangana Police and other issues.
"During the meeting, the two leaders discussed the issue of Maoist surrenders and their rehabilitation. The chief minister informed Shah that significant improvements in policing have taken place in Telangana over the past two years," an official release here said.
Highlighting that 591 Maoists have laid down their arms and joined the mainstream of society during this period, the chief minister said the state government was providing them compensation and rehabilitation assistance as per the rules.
He requested the Union home minister to extend financial support from the central government for development works in the backward regions of the state.
Reddy also urged Shah to increase the sanctioned strength of IPS officers to the state from 83 to 105 in line with the state's growing administrative and security needs, the statement said.
The first cadre review after the formation of Telangana was conducted in 2016, while the next review, due in 2021, was delayed and finally carried out in 2025. Even then, only seven additional IPS officers were allocated to the state, the chief minister informed Shah and requested that the third cadre review be conducted in 2026 as per the schedule.
Reddy explained that Telangana, like the rest of the country, is facing several modern challenges, including cybercrime, drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, and other emerging security threats.
He highlighted the reorganisation of the Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Malkajgiri Police Commissionerates, the proposed formation of the Future City Commissionerate and the rapidly growing population in Hyderabad to underline the increasing administrative requirements of the state.
