Modi’s ‘new India’ to solve problems of Kashmir, terrorism and naxalism by 2022: Rajnath

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Union home minister ‘assures’ countrymen that the Modi government – which has pledged to create a ‘New India’ by 2022 – will solve the decades-long problems of strife-torn Kashmir, terrorism, naxalism and insurgency in the North East in the next five years

Union home minister Rajnath Singh has said that Modi government will resolve the seemingly intractable, decades-old problems of terrorism, naxal violence, insurgency in the North East and even the socio-political and internal turmoil in Kashmir in the next five years, by when it would have created a New India.

Addressing a program in Lucknow on Friday, the Union home minister said: “There are a lot of problems — terrorism, naxalism, the Kashmir problem. Much is not needed to be said about these problems. But I can assure you this much that by 2022, we have pledged to create a ‘New India’… So a solution will be found to all these problems before 2022. We want to assure the countrymen on this.”

Singh’s comments came at the BJP’s ‘Sankalp se Siddhi — New India Movement (2017-2022) Naye Bharat kaa nirmaan’ event.

The home minister shared no insights on how the Narendra Modi government at the Centre hopes to achieve all this. As a first step, he did administer an oath to the gathering for making India ‘Swachh’ (clean) – cleaning it of poverty, corruption, terrorism, communalism and casteism.

The promise comes in the backdrop of a spurt in communal violence, mob-lynchings, cow-vigilantism, dip in job creation, increasing instances of insurgency and terror attacks.

“If people could take the (Quit India) pledge in 1942 and get freedom in 1947, then why even after 70 years of Independence, India is not that self-reliant as it should have been”, Rajnath asked.

Praising the Prime Minister’s initiative on building a New India and in particular the Swachh Bharat campaign, Rajnath said: “Mahatma Gandhi understood the importance of cleanliness and had made it a campaign but it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi who gave it the shape of a mass movement.”

Pledges are a crucial tool in achieving anything that seems unachievable and Rajnath dwelled into the Hindu epic of Mahabharata to cite an example – it was a pledge of the Pandavas that helped them win the great battle of good against evil.

The New India, Rajnath said, “Will be an India where there will be no poverty or illiteracy, every person will have a house, no one will die of shortage of medicine. On the global stage, India will emerge as a powerful nation”.

All of this will happen in just five years from now. People are expected to wait and see – as they waited to see the Modi Government bring back all black money within 100 days of assuming power, or all problems of demonetisation to end within 50 days of the step.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

A major cabinet expansion took place in Bihar on Thursday, with 32 leaders from the ruling NDA alliance inducted into the state government. Among the prominent names was Nishant Kumar, son of former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who entered the cabinet for the first time.

The expansion included representatives from all major NDA allies in the state. According to reports, the BJP secured 15 ministerial berths, while JD(U) got 13 positions. Two ministers were inducted from Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), while Hindustani Awam Morcha and Rashtriya Lok Morcha received one berth each.

The oath-taking ceremony was held in Patna in the presence of senior NDA leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Nishant Kumar’s induction comes weeks after he formally entered active politics. His entry into the Bihar cabinet is being viewed as a significant development for JD(U), which had long projected an anti-dynasty image under Nitish Kumar’s leadership.

The cabinet reshuffle follows Nitish Kumar’s move to the Rajya Sabha earlier this year and the formation of the government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said Operation Sindoor demonstrated India’s firm response against terrorism and highlighted the country’s commitment to national security.

Marking one year of the operation, the Prime Minister praised the courage, precision and professionalism of the Indian armed forces. He said the military action was carried out in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that had claimed the lives of 26 civilians in 2025.

Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, 2025, as a calibrated tri-services operation targeting terror infrastructure linked to cross-border terrorism. Reports said the operation showcased coordinated action by the armed forces and was seen as a major counter-terror response by India.

On the anniversary of the operation, PM Modi also changed the display pictures across his social media platforms, including X, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The image carried the text “Operation Sindoor” along with the Indian tricolour design.

The Indian Air Force also shared visuals and messages recalling the operation and highlighting India’s military response. A video released by the force described the operation as a strong message against terrorism and referred to the precision strikes carried out during the mission.

Operation Sindoor was launched following the Pahalgam terror attack, after which India carried out strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, according to official statements and reports published at the time.

Actor-turned-politician Vijay met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar again on Thursday as his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), continued efforts to prove it has enough support to form the next government in the state.

TVK emerged as the single-largest party in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly after winning 108 seats, but it remains short of the majority mark of 118.

The Congress has extended support to TVK, adding five MLAs to Vijay’s side. However, the alliance still needs additional backing from other parties or independents to comfortably cross the halfway mark.

According to reports, the Governor has not yet been fully convinced that TVK currently has the required numbers to form a stable government. This has delayed clarity over the swearing-in ceremony and the formal invitation to form the government.

Political activity intensified after reports emerged that some AIADMK legislators were moved to a resort in Puducherry amid speculation over possible support to TVK. AIADMK leaders, however, publicly denied any internal crisis.

TVK sources have expressed confidence that the party will be able to demonstrate majority support during discussions with the Governor.

The Tamil Nadu election results marked a major political shift in the state, with TVK breaking the long-standing dominance of the DMK and AIADMK in its first Assembly election contest.
