India increasingly experiencing BJP's development model: PM Modi
Bhubaneswar, June 20 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the country has increasingly 'experienced the BJP's development model", pointing to the recent trajectories of Assam, Tripura and, most recently, Odisha. Addressing a rally marking the first anniversary of Odisha's BJP government, the Prime Minister contrasted the 'previous regime's model of governance—marked by delay, obstruction, derailment and corruption' with what he called a decade of 'good governance that makes people's lives easier". Highlighting the Eastern India as a case study, Modi said a decade ago Assam was mired in instability, separatism and violence. "Today the guns have fallen silent and Assam is out‑pacing many other states on several parameters,' he said. In Tripura ,the Prime Minister said after decades of Left rule, Tripura 'lagged on every development indicator,' from crumbling infrastructure to unresponsive administration. Now, Modi argued, it has become 'a symbol of peace and progress.' Coming to Odisha , he said, it had long wrestled with widespread corruption, red‑tapism and poor infrastructure, leaving many regions behind. 'Over the past year we have worked with full resolve to change that reality,' he declared. Modi credited the union‑and‑state 'double engine' approach for a spate of projects worth 'thousands of crores' inaugurated on Friday. This model, he said, is delivering twin benefits: He said lakhs of poor families in Odisha previously excluded from Ayushman Bharat now receive coverage under both the Ayushman Bharat Jan Arogya Yojana and Odisha's Gopabandhu Jan Arogya Yojana. Nearly three crore Odias are eligible for cash‑free treatment—inside and outside the state—and more than two lakh patients have already availed themselves of the scheme in hospitals across a dozen states. Under Pradhan Mantri Vaya Vandana Yojana, over 23 lakh senior citizens (70+) in Odisha can claim up to Rs.5 lakh in free medical care, significantly easing household health costs. Modi said the farmers in Odisha now receive combined assistance under PM‑KISAN and the state's complementary schemes. The higher paddy procurement prices, promised last year, have already benefited lakhs of cultivators, Modi said. The Prime Minister lamented that tribal communities had been kept 'in poverty and deprivation for decades' and 'used for political gain' by earlier governments, which in turn fueled Naxalism. 'Our model brings development to these regions instead of driving them toward violence and oppression,' he asserted. UNI DP RN

Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill': Senate aims for passage by this date; hopes to finalise it 'even sooner'
Senator Ron Johnson said there's a strong chance that Donald Trump 's "Big Beautiful Bill" could be passed by the Senate and land on the US president's desk by July, possibly before the August recess. "I think we can do it before the August recess, yes, and maybe even sooner than that," Johnson told Fox News. President Trump has earlier urged Congress to send the bill to his desk by July 4, calling it "arguably the most significant piece of legislation that will ever be signed in the history of our country." — bennyjohnson (@bennyjohnson) The wide-ranging legislative package — formally known as the "One, Big, Beautiful Bill" bundles together major tax reforms, spending cuts, and border security proposals that aim to reshape key areas of American policy. At its core, the over 1,000-page bill seeks to make Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanent while adding new tax breaks, such as deductions for tips, overtime, and car loan interest. It also proposes raising the standard deduction to $32,000 for joint filers, boosting the child tax credit to $2,500, and offering a $4,000 deduction for certain seniors. But the bill has sparked backlash over proposed cuts to federal programs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo It includes major reductions in spending on Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill could cut SNAP spending by $295 billion over the next decade and push around 3.2 million people off the program each month by tightening work requirements and shifting more costs to states. While Republicans hold a slight majority in the Senate (53-47), opposition remains — not just from Democrats but also from some GOP senators worried about impacts on vulnerable populations and the potential to worsen the federal deficit.
