Protecting Wildlife
The death of eight elephants in Bandhavgarh National Park, Madhya Pradesh, likely due to consuming fungus-infected kodo millet, underscores a profound and growing challenge in India’s conservation landscape.
In the last leg of campaigning for the seventh and final phase of the Lok Sabha polls on May 19, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday urged the people of Madhya Pradesh to vote for the BJP and script history by electing a majority government for the second time in a row.
“This Sunday when you go to cast your vote then you will be scripting a history. After decades you will elect a majority government for the second time in a row,” PM Modi said while addressing a rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Khargone.
“You take out five seconds to vote for me and I will use the next five years for the development of India,” he further said.

In a bid to woo the farmers, PM Modi said his government was fully committed to double the income of farmers by 2022.
He said the elections of 2019 was different from all the previous general elections as the people of India are voting for their country and not for any party. They are voting to build a New India, he added.
In this phase, voting will happen in 59 constituencies across seven states and one Union Territory. Polling will continue in Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh will vote entirely in this phase.
