In a heartbreaking incident from a remote tribal village in Pen, Maharashtra, a woman lost her life due to the absence of accessible roads. Despite a ₹60 lakh road construction tender issued in April 2023 and a ₹7 crore work order granted in January 2024, no progress has been made. The village, cut off from main roads, lacked any transport facilities. Villagers were forced to carry the woman in a makeshift cloth cradle for 10 kilometers to the nearest hospital, where she tragically passed away. Her body was then brought back the same way. This tragedy underscores the critical need for infrastructure development and accountability.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Akola as part of the BJP's campaign ahead of the assembly elections. He criticized the Congress party, claiming that it thrives when the country is weak. He said, "The weaker the country, the stronger Congress becomes, and when Congress is strong, the nation suffers." Modi accused Congress of dividing people along caste lines, especially targeting the OBC, Dalit, and tribal communities. He claimed that Congress stirs conflict among different castes to weaken unity and weaken the voice of these communities. According to Modi, Congress does not want these groups to unite, as it benefits them politically when these communities are divided. He warned that Congress plays such tricks to weaken these sections and then form a government. He urged the people to be aware of Congress's divisive tactics and stay united to protect their rights.
