TSX Flat at CloseNew Delhi, Nov 23: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday said that no force in the world could bring back Article 370. Addressing a gathering at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters, PM Modi said, “I want to say to the Congress and its allies that no force in the world can bring back Article 370 and insult our constitution.” He said that the Congress and its allies were again trying to create a wall of Article 370 of the constitution in Jammu and Kashmir. The PM said the Congress and its allies were double-faced on various issues, including the Waqf Board. He lauded the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance’s massive victory in the Maharashtra assembly polls as a win for development and good governance, assuring people of the ruling bloc’s continued work for the state’s progress. In posts on X, PM Modi also congratulated the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-led alliance for its win in Jharkhand, while stressing that his party will always be at the forefront to champion people’s issues. He tagged Chief Minister Hemant Soren, who led the INDIA bloc coalition in the state, in his post. “Development wins! Good governance wins! United we will soar even higher! Heartfelt gratitude to my sisters and brothers of Maharashtra, especially the youth and women of the state, for a historic mandate to the NDA. This affection and warmth is unparalleled,” Modi said. “Jai Maharashtra,” he said. The PM said that the NDA’s pro-people efforts had resonated all over. “I thank people across various states for blessing NDA candidates in the various by-polls held. We will leave no stone unturned in fulfilling their dreams and aspirations,” the PM said. He said he was proud of NDA workers for their efforts on the ground. “They worked hard, went among people and elaborated on our good governance agenda. I thank the people of Jharkhand for their support towards us. We will always be at the forefront of raising people’s issues and working for the state,” PM Modi said. He said that the latest round of elections had endorsed the message of development and defeated the politics of lies and betrayal propounded by the Congress and its allies. The PM said divisive forces, negative politics, and dynasticism had been defeated in the Maharashtra election and by-polls in various states. He said that the people of Maharashtra had voted for stability and taught a lesson to those who tried to create instability. PM Modi asserted that the message from the Maharashtra election was unity, and it was also an endorsement of the ‘ek hai toh safe hai’ slogan. He said he bows before the people of Jharkhand and that the BJP will work more zealously for the state’s development. “‘Ek hai toh safe hai’ has become the ‘maha-mantra’ for the entire nation and it has punished those who wanted to divide the country on caste and religious lines,” the PM said. “All sections of the society have voted for the BJP.” He said that the Congress and its ecosystem had thought that by spreading lies in the name of the constitution, they could divide the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBC) into small groups. “This is a solid slap on their faces,” PM Modi said. “People have made divisive forces bite the dust. The Congress and its allies have failed to grasp the changed realities of the country’s mood.” He said that voters do not want instability and they believe in nation first and do not like those dreaming about “chair first”. “The voters in Maharashtra also evaluated Congress based on the false promises made in other states like Karnataka, Telangana, and Himachal Pradesh,” the PM said. “Neither their false promises nor their dangerous agenda worked in Maharashtra.” He said that the Maharashtra election also shows that only one constitution would work in India and that was given to the people of the country by B R Ambedkar.UCF will attempt to shake off a dreadful offensive performance when it collides with LSU on Sunday afternoon in the third-place game of the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.

Sen. Joanne M. Brown on Monday announced the re-appropriation of $350,000 in lapses from her last two terms in office, directing these funds to support a variety of critical community programs and services. Brown will not be in the incoming 38th Legislature after losing her re-election bid. In a statement, her office said this re-appropriation reflects the pressing reality of the needs in the community and underscores the incredible dedication of those who work tirelessly to keep vital services running despite ongoing constraints. “As I reflect on my time in the Legislature, I am reminded that true service is about lifting others up—whether it’s children who have experienced hardship, animals who rely on our care, or the many dedicated individuals who work within our public services to keep our community strong," Brown said in a statement. She said these re-appropriations serve as a reminder of the ongoing needs of government agencies and nonprofit organizations, many of which do important work with limited resources. "The people working in these agencies, and the volunteers who support our animals, are the true heroes in our community. They do so much with so little, and this funding is a recognition of their dedication,” the outgoing senator said. “The work that our nonprofit organizations and public service employees do is nothing short of heroic. They are the backbone of our island, and they continue to provide services even in the face of limited resources." The re-appropriated funds in the amount of $350,000 will go to the following recipients: • $25,000 to Guåhan Paws for Pets. This funding will help cover the cost of necessary supplies and medical services for animals under the care of Guåhan Paws. • $35,000 to Guam Animals In Need, GAIN. The funds will improve the safety and security of animals housed at GAIN, including clearing and grading the drive-in area, installing a permeable driveway, reinforcing the perimeter fence, and installing a state-of-the-art security camera system. These upgrades are essential for ensuring the safety of the animals and the security of staff and visitors. Support for Guam's children: • $39,000 to the Department of Public Health and Social Services' Foster Care Division. This funding will support the care of Guam’s foster children by providing essential resources to ensure their well-being and safety. • $55,000 to Harvest House. Harvest House, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting foster children who have experienced abuse and neglect, will use this funding to stock essential items needed to properly care for the children they serve. Support for public services and critical infrastructure: • $42,000 to the Department of Agriculture's Law Enforcement Section’s Conservation Corps Apprentice Program. These funds will provide the necessary equipment, including body armor and uniforms, for the Conservation Corps Apprentice Program, helping apprentices safely perform their important work in preserving Guam’s natural resources. • $42,000 to the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Park Police Section. The funding will go toward purchasing a new CCTV system, off-road motorcycles, portable generators, and other critical equipment to enhance safety and security in Guam’s parks. • $70,000 to the University of Guam’s Water & Environmental Research Institute, WERI. These funds will support research, training, and outreach related to the detection of salinity levels in Guam’s wells, ensuring the sustainability of the island’s water resources in the face of ongoing environmental challenges. • $42,000 to the Department of Corrections' Administrative Services Division. This funding will be used to replace outdated computers and ensure compatibility with newly purchased software, allowing the department to better manage Guam’s prison and parole system. Brown said this funding isn’t just about dollars but it’s about what those dollars will do. "It’s about ensuring that the children in foster care have the resources they need to thrive, that the animals at GAIN and Guåhan Paws are given the medical attention and security they deserve, and that the people working in our government agencies are equipped with the tools they need to keep our community safe and strong," Brown added.The united colours of Shane WarneMIDDLEBURY — Northridge 6-foot-6 junior Brady Scholl probably won't ever forget the first boys basketball game at the high school's new Jayco Arena.
