Former chief minister and Leader of Opposition gets admitted to Jindal Naturecure Institute
Former chief minister and Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah got admitted to Jindal Naturecure Institute (JNI) on the outskirts of Bengaluru on August 21 for a 10-day nature cure regimen. After formation of the coalition government of JD(S) and Congress in 2018, Mr. Siddaramaiah had gone to Shree Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara (SDM) Yoga and Nature Cure Hospital in Dharmasthala for two weeks.
In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
