Says his govt's policies have energised rural areas, but some forces are actively sowing 'poison' to disrupt harmony
RAJESH KUMAR THAKUR @ New Delhi

PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday yet again accused the Opposition of engaging in caste-based politics and fostering societal discord. He urged the people to resist such divisive attempts and safeguard the shared cultural and social fabric of villages.

In a veiled attack on the Opposition, the PM denounced their "continued demand" for a caste census and expressed concern over attempts to weaken rural unity.

He emphasized that while his government's policies have energized rural areas, some forces are actively sowing "poison" to disrupt harmony.

"We must thwart these conspiracies and protect the common heritage of our villages," Modi said, reaffirming his administration's commitment to ensuring a dignified life for rural communities.

Speaking at the inauguration of the "Grameen Bharat Mahotsav," the PM accused the previous governments of neglecting rural India. "For decades, they ignored rural India. Even years after independence, villages were deprived of basic necessities. Our government, however, is empowering rural areas and prioritizing those left behind," Modi asserted.

Understanding Menorrhagia

It's universal. It's monthly. Most of the time, it makes you feel like you may puke your guts out and on rare occasions, it calls for a truce. But unlike the white flag of truce, this visitor is blood red—quite literally. That time of the month, Code Red, menstruation, or simply, a period. While the age-old rulebook deems up to seven days as the 'normal' duration of Aunty Red's visit—with a flow that decreases by the day—there are some cases where the volume increases on a continuum. Has this ever happened to you, ladies? Well, you may have menorrhagia.
