Sagar Watch News

Sagar Watch News/ MLA Shailendra Kumar Jain, along with Sagar Lok Sabha MP Dr. Smt. Lata Wankhede, met Union Railway Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw and strongly presented key railway demands related to the Sagar parliamentary constituency. 

The delegation urged the Railway Minister to restart the Chalapalli–Rewa Special Train, which connects Rewa–Sagar–Hyderabad–Nagpur, and to operate it as a regular passenger service.

During the meeting, the representatives informed the minister that the train was earlier introduced for a limited period but received an overwhelming response from passengers, proving its high utility for the region. 

They emphasized that the service provides direct rail connectivity from Sagar and surrounding areas to major metropolitan cities like Nagpur and Hyderabad, which are crucial hubs for healthcare, higher education, employment, IT services, and trade.

MLA Jain highlighted that the regular operation of this train would greatly benefit patients seeking treatment at major medical centers in Hyderabad and Nagpur, while students would gain easier access to reputed educational institutions. Professionals working in the IT sector, traders, and entrepreneurs would also save both time and travel costs, boosting overall economic activity.

Supporting the demand, MLA Shailendra Kumar Jain stated that regularizing this rail service would provide a fresh boost to trade, industry, and tourism in the region, thereby strengthening Sagar’s rail connectivity with major economic and educational centers across the country.

Railway Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw patiently heard the delegation’s demands and assured them of serious consideration, detailed examination, and necessary action. Residents of the region have welcomed the initiative and expressed hope that the Chalapalli–Rewa Special Train will soon resume as a regular rail service.

Special Points:

  • Demand rises to convert the Chalapalli–Rewa Special Train into a regular service

  • Train connects Rewa–Sagar–Hyderabad–Nagpur, improving long-distance connectivity

  • Significant benefits for patients, students, IT professionals, traders, and entrepreneurs

  • Expected boost to regional trade, industry, tourism, and economic growth

  • Railway Minister assured due examination and appropriate action

Once regarded as the second-in-command during former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s tenure, senior BJP leader and Khurai MLA Bhupendra Singh—who served as Home Minister in the previous cabinet—appears to be voicing his discontent after being left out of the current cabinet formation. 

Speaking at a Diwali Milan event in Baghraj Ward, Singh delivered a philosophically loaded speech centered on “values, culture, and morality.” However, Seasoned political observers see it as a subtle reflection of his current disenchantment and an indirect commentary on the shifting power equations within the BJP.

Without directly naming anyone, Singh criticized “opportunistic politics”, asserting that it weakens democracy and erodes public faith in the political system—a remark that many interpret as a veiled attack on his intra-party rival.  Who, before long, defected from the Congress. 

His statement that “politics should be a medium of service, not self-gain” was widely read as an expression of ideological frustration over recent developments within the state’s political landscape.

Throughout his address, Singh emphasized that character, values, and culture form the foundation of life, arguing that wealth is meaningless without moral grounding.

In a speech blending cultural conservatism and social commentary, he invoked mythological references such as Abhimanyu's learning in the womb, stressing the role of mothers in nurturing values and condemning the modern obsession with mobile phones and materialism.

In political terms, Singh’s remarks carry undertones of moral positioning and self-reassertion—an attempt to project himself as a custodian of traditional BJP values and public service ethics at a time when he feels marginalized in the current power setup. 

His critique of “corrupt and opportunistic politics” and appeal for “youth with character to enter public life” underscores his effort to reclaim ideological relevance amid shifting loyalties and internal rivalries.

While maintaining a public tone of cultural and social reform, Bhupendra Singh’s speech reflects a deeper sentiment—a senior leader seeking to reaffirm his political stature in an environment where his once-commanding influence within the party has notably diminished.

Sagar Watch News

Sagar Watch News/Patron of the Democratic Samajwadi Party Raghu Thakur stated that the provisions of the 123rd Amendment Bill introduced in Parliament are undemocratic and will establish a dictatorship of a single ruling party in the country. However, this bill has been sent to the Parliamentary Committee after being introduced in the Parliament.

While talking to journalists today, Mr. Thakur said that there is incompleteness in both the ruling and the opposition. The government claims that the bill has been introduced for purity, but this will place the decision of purity solely in the hands of the government.

In this regard, Mr. Thakur suggested that if there is a provision for removal from the post if bail is not granted within 30 days, then this amendment should also be made so that the decision from the interim appeal should come out within 29 days.

He said that in the past, he remained in jail for 22 months, and later the investigating agency said that no evidence was found against him. It is his moral responsibility to voluntarily resign from the post, but removing him by making legal provisions is neither judicial nor democratic. Mr Thakur said that the opposition also raised a hue and cry, but no logical debate was made.

The Loktantrik Samajwadi Party has sent a letter to the Home Minister demanding that a provision be added so that in any case the final appellate court's decision comes within 29 days, or the person should not be removed from the post till the final appellate decision, it should be left to the person. Along with this, action should also be taken against those investigation agencies which suspend the investigation after the arrest.

Sagar Watch News/  The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), today, staged a massive protest outside Sagar Municipal Corporation against what it termed as “criminal negligence and corruption” by officials and contractors. The protest, joined by party members and a large number of citizens, including women, took place despite heavy rainfall.

Public Anger Over Negligence

Residents from various wards raised their voices against severe problems such as waterlogging, unplanned road construction, and incomplete sewer projects. Protesters alleged that poor planning and collusion between officials and contractors had turned several neighborhoods into “water cities,” pushing people into a swamp of diseases and hardships.

Engineer D.K. Singh told the media:

  • “Municipal engineers raised roads without survey or technical basis, leaving thousands of homes and shops below road level. Rainwater is flooding into houses—this is administrative criminal negligence.”

  • “The sewer project is riddled with corruption. Contractors abandoned incomplete work while officials turned a blind eye. People are falling, getting injured, and suffering daily, while files are just being shuffled in offices.”

Memorandum and Key Demands

AAP submitted a memorandum to the Municipal Commissioner, demanding urgent corrective measures:

  • Immediate drainage arrangements in all waterlogged areas.

  • Review of wrongly elevated roads and provision of proper drainage channels.

  • High-level inquiry into corruption in the sewer project with strict action against guilty contractors and officials.

  • Immediate repair of unfinished and dug-up roads.

  • Future construction projects to be undertaken only after proper geographical and technical surveys.

The Additional Commissioner assured in writing that a reply to the memorandum would be given within three days.

Organizational Expansion

Alongside the protest, AAP held a district executive meeting to expand its organization. Over 50 new members, including many women, joined the party during the event. Notable among them were Advocate Sugandh Kurmi, Laxman Dubey, and Ms. Mansi Patel.
