			<title>Robert Vadra and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (File photo/PTI) NEW DELHI: The BJP on Thursday accused Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and her businessman husband, Robert Vadra, of involvement in an alleged attempt to grab a four-acre land parcel in Uttarakhand.Addressing a press conference, BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari claimed that a relative of Robert Vadra had intimidated a 90-year-old woman in an attempt to force her to vacate her sister&#8217;s property.He identified the relative as Saira Vadra, the sister-in-law of Robert Vadra.&#8221;Saira Vadra is trying to take possession of a four-acre land parcel in Udham Singh Nagar district. The original land lease is in the name of the late Kulsum Khan, and the property is currently with her 90-year-old sister, Nasreen Khan,&#8221; Bhandari said.&#8221;When they (the Congress) realise that Saira Vadra cannot get possession of the land through the legal route, they intimidate the occupant. She (Saira) becomes the front, while Priyanka Vadra and Robert Vadra are behind her,&#8221; he added.Detailing the alleged attempt to intimidate Nasreen Khan, the BJP leader claimed that the Congress&#8217; local MLA and his supporters tried to force the elderly woman to vacate the property.&#8221;Congress MLA Tilak Raj Behar arrived at the property with around 100 supporters late on Wednesday night and threatened Nasreen Khan with dire consequences if she did not vacate the land. Did Priyanka Gandhi Vadra call the Congress MLA and ask him to ensure that her sister-in-law gets possession of the land by intimidating a 90-year-old Muslim woman?&#8221; Bhandari asked.He defended his allegation, saying it was based on Nasreen Khan&#8217;s own statement, in which she accused Congress workers of trying to get the property handed over to the Vadra family.&#8221;The buck doesn&#8217;t stop with the Congress MLA; it stops with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Congress claims to stand with Muslims and the poor. Yet, according to the allegations before us, a 90-year-old Muslim woman is being threatened to vacate her land,&#8221; Bhandari remarked.He described the incident as an example of the &#8220;Gandhi-Vadra model of land-grabbing&#8221; and cited earlier cases allegedly involving Robert Vadra to claim there was a &#8220;pattern&#8221; in such transactions.&#8221;The people of the country should understand that if the Gandhi-Vadra family sets its sights on a piece of land, they send people repeatedly to intimidate the occupant until the land is vacated,&#8221; he stated.Get the latest India news and live updates.

			<title>The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on Thursday initiated disciplinary action over the recent road surface cave-in on the Delhi-Dehradun Economic Corridor, issuing a show-cause notice to the project director while suspending key officials and seeking action against the contractor.The move comes days after videos of the damaged stretch went viral, triggering criticism over the condition of the newly inaugurated expressway.According to NHAI, a show-cause notice has been issued to the project director, fixing responsibility for the incident. A separate notice has also been served to the authority engineer for alleged negligence in services. It has also issued notice to the EPC contractor, seeking an explanation on why it should not be declared a non-performer and debarred from future NHAI works.Additionally, the team leader of the authority engineer has been suspended, while the project manager of the EPC contractor has also been suspended.Earlier, NHAI issued a clarification on X, saying, &#8220;NHAI would like to inform that the road surface cave-in at Km 55+480 on the Delhi–Dehradun Economic Corridor occurred due to water stagnation following rainfall, coupled with constraints in commissioning the permanent cross-drainage system at the location.&#8221;The authority said the affected stretch was identified during routine inspections and repaired immediately.NHAI said the damaged stretch was identified during routine patrolling on July 1 and repaired on priority to ensure &#8220;safe and uninterrupted movement of traffic.&#8221;Explaining the delay in completing the permanent drainage system, the authority said the balancing culvert could not be commissioned due to resistance from local residents, while permanent slope protection and chute drain works remain pending because of a land dispute.As an interim measure, NHAI said it has begun constructing a 1.5-km parallel drain and redesigning the drainage gradient until the permanent system is commissioned. It added that the site remains under continuous monitoring and that &#8220;all necessary resources have been deployed to ensure safe and smooth traffic movement.&#8221;Earlier in the day, the Congress slammed BJP, alleging that the corridor had developed massive potholes within two months of its inauguration and accused the Centre of poor construction quality and corruption in infrastructure projects.Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 213-km Delhi-Dehradun Economic Corridor on April 14, 2026. NHAI&#8217;s disciplinary action indicates that accountability has begun to be fixed while the authority continues work on permanent drainage infrastructure and further scrutiny of the project is expected.Get the latest India news and live updates.

			<title>NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Thursday defended former Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust general secretary Champat Rai amid the ongoing embezzlement row, claiming that Rai worked with immense dedication for the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi movement.While talking to reporters, Maurya said the incident was painful, but turning it into a major public debate was unnecessary.  Watch Ram Temple Donation Theft: Police Reveal Alleged Inside Operation Behind Crores Heist&#8221;The investigation is underway. There is no need to comment while it is in progress. However, both the SIT and the police, after registering an FIR, are investigating the incident that took place there. Please wait for the investigation to be completed. The opposition has no moral right to speak on the Ram Janmabhoomi issue. Whatever Akhilesh Yadav is doing is only pushing the Samajwadi Party further into decline,&#8221; Maurya said.&#8221;The people who were serving there as employees and who allegedly committed this act of theft are under investigation. Certainly, it is a painful incident, and it should be considered unacceptable from every perspective. Those who worked with immense dedication, almost like ascetics, for the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi movement—including Champat Rai Ji and everyone who was part of the movement and the temple&#8217;s construction—have all been deeply pained by this incident. But the way this issue is being turned into a major public debate is unnecessary. Whoever has committed theft has done wrong, and action will be taken against them. That action is already under way,&#8221; he added.Maurya&#8217;s remarks came after Champat Rai resigned as the trust&#8217;s general secretary amid allegations of large-scale embezzlement of devotees&#8217; donations, with questions being raised over his alleged role in the matter.Meanwhile, pressure on the temple&#8217;s management continued to mount. Earlier, the Faizabad Bar Association demanded that Champat Rai, Anil Mishra and Gopal Rao, all associated with the temple&#8217;s management but not named as accused in the FIR, &#8220;must leave&#8221; Ayodhya.The lawyers warned that if the three did not leave &#8220;within three days&#8221;, they would blockade the entire city and prevent anyone from entering Ayodhya.The Bar Association also said it would move the court under Section 156(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, seeking directions for the registration of an FIR against Champat Rai, Gopal Rao and Anil Mishra.The provision empowers a magistrate to order a police investigation into a cognisable offence if no action has been taken on a complaint.PollVote &#038; Share your viewIs it appropriate for the opposition to comment on the Ram Janmabhoomi issue amid ongoing investigations?Yes, they have the right to speakNo, they should wait for the investigation to conclude3k+ users shared opinion today 5k+ users already voted today 3k+ users shared opinion today Share OpinionGet the latest India news and live updates.
