According Prime Minister Modi, Electricity should no longer be received for free
In an apparent attempt to fight the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress over their pledge of free power in poll-bound Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that it was time to make money from electricity rather than receiving it for free.
Speaking during an election rally in Modasa, a town in the Aravalli area of north Gujarat, Modi said that only he is skilled in the art of enabling people to profit from energy.
The PM also attacked the Congress, claiming that it adheres to the “divide and rule” philosophy and is solely concerned with gaining and maintaining power.
Arvind Kejriwal, the national convener of the AAP and the chief minister of Delhi, has been attempting to win over voters by promising that if his party were elected to power in the Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Gujarat, it would provide free electricity up to 300 units per month, just like it does in the national capital and Punjab.
On several occasions, Kejriwal has asserted that he is the only politician in the nation to have “mastered this miracle of supplying free power.”
The opposition Congress has jumped on board and stated in its election platform that if elected to power in Gujarat, where the Assembly elections are set for December 1 and 5, the party will likewise offer free energy up to 300 units.
Gujarat PM Narendra Modi says he wants to see people earning money from electricity generated from solar rooftop systems instead of getting it for free. “Only Modi knows this art wherein people will be able to earn from electricity,” he tells an event in Modhera, a village in Mehsana district.
He reminded the residents of Aravalli that during the Congress era, farmers in this district had been murdered by police when they demanded inexpensive energy for agricultural purposes.
According to the PM, farmers are increasingly producing their own power by installing solar panels on underused farmland areas.
“Additionally, they may make money by selling extra power. The day when people want inexpensive power is over. Today, selling power is a viable source of money “explained he.
At the time, Modi also attacked the Congress, claiming the opposition group solely adheres to the “divide and rule” philosophy and only considers how to get power.
“Has there been any progress in Rajasthan, a state that is close to your border? Have you heard any encouraging news about that region? Development cannot be done by the Congress “he said.

Police In Navi Mumbai Have Taken Out A Rs 25 Lakh Contract To Kill Bollywood Actor, AK-47, Sourced From Pakistan
According to a charge sheet issued by the Navi Mumbai Police and seen by sources on Thursday, October 17, Bollywood actor Salman Khan had a contract worth Rs 25 lakh stolen from him close to his Panvel home in Maharashtra.
Five defendants have been named in the case, and the charge sheet claims that the Bishnoi gang, commanded by imprisoned mobster Lawrence Bishnoi, stole the contract. The accused were getting ready to purchase weapons from Pakistan, such as the AK-47, AK-92, and M-16, as well as the Turkish-made Zigana, which was used to shoot Punjabi musician Sidhu Moosewala.
The accused claimed that they were hiding in Pune, Raigad, Navi Mumbai, and Gujarat and that they had hired numerous youngsters under the age of eighteen to murder Bollywood actors. Between August 2023 and April 2024, between 60 and 70 persons watched Salman Khan’s movement to kill him at Bandra House, Panvel Farmhouse, and Goregaon Film City.
Based on the charge sheet Sukkha, who was taken into custody on Thursday in Panipat, Haryana, attributed the murder to four conspirators and the designated gunman, Ajay Kashyap, also known as AK. Following an examination by the accused Kashyap, they concluded that they would need expensive weaponry to execute out the murder because of the Khan’s security and bulletproof cars.
While negotiating the conditions of the arms purchase, Sukkha used a video chat to reach Dogar, an arms dealer stationed in Pakistan, and displayed an AK-47 and other cutting-edge weapons covered in a shawl. After Sukha paid 50% in advance and the remaining balance upon delivery in India, Dogar consented to provide the guns.
All of the gunmen were awaiting approval from Goldie Brar, a Canadian mobster, and Anmol Bishnoi, the brother of Lawrence Bishnoi. According to the charge sheet, they would meet at Kanyakumari after shooting the actor, from which they would take a boat to Sri Lanka and then to a place where Indian detectives couldn’t get to them.
