PM Modi’s Security Lapse
In a startling security lapse, a young man managed to breach the security perimeter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s convoy outside the Rudraksh Center in Varanasi. This incident occurred just as the Prime Minister was departing for the airport after a six-hour visit to Kashi. The youth, who was reportedly a BJP worker, leaped in front of the Prime Minister’s car, coming dangerously close to the leader. Quick action by the police led to his apprehension, and he is currently being interrogated by the Special Protection Group (SPG). While there is speculation that the youth sought to discuss job opportunities in the army with the Prime Minister, no official confirmation has been provided.
Inauguration of Cricket Stadium
During his visit to Varanasi, PM Modi participated in three significant events. He inaugurated a state-of-the-art cricket stadium constructed at a cost of Rs 450 crore. The event was graced by cricket legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, and Dilip Vengsarkar. Sachin Tendulkar presented a jersey with “Namo” written on it to PM Modi, adding a touch of sporting enthusiasm to the occasion.
Connecting with Kashi
PM Modi reached the public meeting place at Ganjari from the airport via helicopter and interacted with the people in an open jeep. He laid the foundation stone for an international stadium reminiscent of Shiv Dham and began his speech with “Har Har Mahadev.” PM Modi expressed his joy at being in Banaras once more, emphasizing the unique spirit and charm of the city.
Stadium for the Youth
The newly inaugurated stadium holds immense promise for the youth of Varanasi and Purvanchal. PM Modi stressed the importance of identifying and nurturing young talent, pointing out that the stadium, dedicated to Lord Shiva, can accommodate up to 30,000 spectators. He highlighted that this stadium would serve as a hub for sports and bolster the progress of the region.
Women Empowerment
PM Modi underscored the transformative role women have played under his government, from excelling in sports to flying the Rafale. Initiatives like the Mudra Yojana have empowered women, breathing new life into small and large industries. He celebrated the fact that women now play a pivotal role in India’s advancement, thanks to their skills and determination.
Shiv Shakti in Kashi and on the Moon
PM Modi noted the convergence of two significant events: his visit to Kashi and the one-month anniversary of India reaching the “Shiv Shakti” point on the Moon. He highlighted the significance of Kashi as a place that embodies the divine feminine energy, connecting it to the achievements of India’s space program.
