Even when there was no liquor ban here, people died due to spurious liquor -even in other states. People should be alert. As there is a liquor ban here, something spurious will be sold due to which people die. Liquor is bad & shouldn't be consumed: #NitishKumar
#BiharHoochTragedy

Last time, when people died due to spurious liquor, someone said they should be compensated. If someone consumes liquor, they'll die - example is before us. This should be condoled, those places should be visited & people be explained: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar

#BiharHoochTragedy

I've told officers that they shouldn't nab poor. People manufacturing liquor & carrying out alocohol business should be caught. Ready to give Rs 1 Lakh to people to start their work. We'll raise amount if needed, but nobody should get involved in this business: Bihar CM on liquor

New York | This debate&its outcome will not only help determine what kind of UN we wish to see,but also global order that best reflects contemporary realities: EAM at UNSC Open Debate on ‘Maintenance of International Peace & Security: New Orientation for Reformed Multilateralism’

Need for a New Orientation for a Reformed Multilateral System or NORMS, as we've titled it, flows from this widespread recognition. While the matter concerns fullest constituency of member states, UNSC too has an important stake in the consideration of this crucial question: EAM

While the debate on reforms has meandered aimlessly, the real world meantime has changed dramatically. We see that in terms of the economic prosperity, technology capabilities, political influence and developmental progress: EAM Dr S Jaishankar at UNSC Open Debate

The meeting between Maharashtra and Karnataka on the border issue was held in a positive atmosphere today. Keeping a positive approach, CMs of both states agreed that a resolution should be reached in a constitutional manner: Union Home Minister Amit Shah

I urge opposition parties Maharashtra& Karnataka not to politicise this issue. We should wait for outcome of the discussions of the committee formed to resolve this issue & decision of Supreme Court. I'm confident that NCP& Cong Uddhav Thackeray group will cooperate: HM Shah

As long as the SC verdict on this matter is not out, the two states will not make any claim or create any demand on the other. Second, three ministers from each of these two states will sit together & discuss about making detailed percolation in this matter: Union HM Amit Shah

Ahmedabad, Gujarat | People from all over the world are coming to pay homage to HH Pramukh Swami Maharaj Ji: PM Modi at the inaugural function of Pramukh Swami Maharaj Shatabdi Mahotsav

I have been drawn to the ideals of HH Pramukh Swami Maharaj Ji from my childhood. I never thought that sometime in my life, I would get to meet him. It was perhaps back in 1981 that I met him during a Satsang. He spoke only about 'seva': PM Modi
