Visakhapatnam: With a participation of 3.02 lakh, Visakhapatnam created history by gaining a place in Guinness World Records for the largest gathering for yoga in one place, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said. Appreciating ministers, district officials, public representatives and more importantly people of Visakhapatnam for their complete cooperation in making the 11th edition of the International Yoga Day a massive success, Naidu emphasised at a media conference that public cooperation is key to massive turnout. 'This is just the beginning of ambitious plans the NDA has in promoting public health and wellness to the next level,' the CM emphasised. With technology playing a crucial role in making the event a hassle-free affair, Naidu reiterated that the record participation could become a reality due to the incorporation of technology, including the introduction of QR code-based participant tracking system. With two Guinness World Records, including 22,122 tribal students performing Surya namaskarams on the eve of the International Yoga Day and for the largest gathering for yoga in one place on the IYD, the massive event gained entry into 21 World Book of Records. Sharing the statistics, Naidu stated that even as the cabinet ministers raised doubts when he called for a record breaking IYD celebrations, eventually, they reposed faith in his aspirations, extending support to the biggest endeavour organised ever in Visakhapatnam. 'Within a short span of time, Yogandhra-2025 garnered extensive support from across the people of Andhra Pradesh as they place trust in my leadership and are aware of the benefits yoga offers,' the Chief Minister stressed, adding that people volunteered happily for the event without any force.

About Prime Minister specially appreciating IT and Industries Minister Nara Lokesh's efforts in making yoga a true social celebration, including every section of society, Naidu stated that Lokesh succeeded in planning out 26 theme-based yoga events in a short span of time and his efforts caught the attention of the Prime Minister.

People will give punishment to DMK in 2026 assembly elections: AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami
COIMBATORE: AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Saturday said that people of the State will give punishment to the DMK in the upcoming 2026 election through the poll results. 'We have already condemned the DMK minister and DMK functionaries for their abusive speech. As far as the DMK is concerned, there is a commotion among the people of Tamil Nadu as the anti-people regime is in progress. To hide it, DMK functionaries are in the habit of spreading abusive messages and speech in public meetings and social media handles, and for this, the people of the state will give punishment to the DMK in the 2026 assembly election results,' said Edappadi K Palaniswami while addressing the media. Responding to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah's statement that a time would come when those speaking English in the country would 'feel ashamed', Edappadi K Palaniswami said that Amit Shah had just shared his opinion. "Amit Shah shared that on the basis that the people are giving importance to English instead of their mother tongue, and the mother tongue is important for each of them," he said. EPS also said that the former AIADMK minister and Deputy Propaganda secretary K Pandirajan had clearly explained on Keezhadi excavation during AIADMK rule, both before and after the demise of former CM J Jayalalithaa. EPS has also extended his greetings to the organisers (Hindu Munnani) of the Lord Murugan conference being held at Madurai. 'It is a democratic right for an organisation to worship favourite gods and based on that, an organisation is organising a religious conference for Lord Murugan in Madurai,' he said. Speaking about International Yoga Day, EPS said, 'Yoga activity is important for physical and mental health and wellbeing, and I greet Prime Minister Narendra Modi for organising the event.
