🖋️ From the desk of Abhijeet Rane:
The editorial from Lokmat highlights a deeply concerning issue — the growing backlog of cases in India’s fast-track courts. Originally designed to ensure swift justice in sensitive cases like sexual assault, corruption, and crimes against children, these courts are now facing the very problem they were meant to solve: delay. A shortage of judges, lack of proper infrastructure, and an overwhelming number of pending cases have crippled the efficiency of these courts. The editorial rightly points out that in states like Maharashtra, where the number of such courts is declining, justice is becoming a distant dream for many victims.
This situation reflects a larger crisis in India’s judicial system. When fast-track courts — which are supposed to be quicker than regular courts — are dragging cases for years, it sends a worrying message about the pace and reliability of justice. The phrase “justice delayed is justice denied” becomes painfully real for those who suffer in silence, waiting endlessly. What’s needed now is not just concern but action: the government must increase judicial appointments, invest in better technology and court infrastructure, and set accountability benchmarks. Only then can the judiciary regain the trust of the common people.

The recent court remarks on terror accused Tahawwur Rana have shed light on the alarming depth of his alleged conspiracy, extending beyond the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. A Delhi special NIA court, while granting further custodial interrogation, observed that Rana's terror plot was not confined to Mumbai alone but also included New Delhi as a potential target. The court, citing evidence presented by the NIA, stated that Rana’s involvement posed a serious threat to India’s national security and that his plans had cross-border implications. These findings underline the gravity of the threat he posed and justify the urgency of continued interrogation.
Judge Chandrajit Singh’s 12-page order acknowledged that substantial evidence exists to suggest the conspiracy was widespread, with intentions to attack multiple Indian cities. The court emphasized that understanding the depth of this network requires thorough questioning of Rana. His current detention by the NIA is deemed essential to uncover all aspects of the plot and potentially identify other collaborators involved. This case reinforces the need for vigilant counterterrorism efforts and cooperation between international intelligence agencies to thwart any future threats stemming from global terror networks.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ statement strongly connects the creation of a united Maharashtra with the visionary thoughts of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. By highlighting Ambedkar’s firm declaration that “Mumbai belongs to Maharashtra,” Fadnavis reinforced the emotional and cultural bond between Mumbai and the state. He emphasized that the linguistic reorganization of states, which led to the formation of Maharashtra with Mumbai as its capital, was deeply rooted in Ambedkar’s ideology and foresight. This statement not only pays tribute to Ambedkar’s legacy but also aims to remind citizens of the historical context that shaped Maharashtra's identity.
During the unveiling of Ambedkar’s full-sized statue in Wadala East, Fadnavis stressed the importance of memorializing Ambedkar’s immense contribution through the grand memorial at Indu Mill. He called Ambedkar’s drafted Constitution one of the best in the world and credited it for providing equal opportunities and justice to the oppressed and marginalized sections of society. By doing so, Fadnavis projected Ambedkar not just as a Dalit icon but as a national visionary who laid the foundation for India’s progress. This political positioning also serves to strengthen BJP's connect with Ambedkarite thought and legacy in Maharashtra’s socio-political landscape.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent comments target the Congress party’s long-standing claim of minority support, exposing its double standards. Despite ruling India for decades, Congress has never appointed a Muslim as its national president, raising serious questions about its true commitment to representation. Modi challenged them to give 50% of election tickets to Muslims if they truly care for the community. His remarks uncover how Congress uses minorities for votes but avoids giving them real power.
The PM also slammed Congress for opposing the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, pointing to widespread misuse of Waqf properties by land mafias. Instead of standing for genuine reform, Congress chose political convenience. Modi’s sharp attack exposes Congress’s appeasement politics without real empowerment. He clearly portrayed BJP as aiming for transparency and fairness in minority welfare. This bold move can shift the narrative on minority politics in India. It demands that Congress walk the talk or face losing its traditional vote bank.

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari’s recent announcement on toll reforms marks a major transformation in India’s highway infrastructure policy. Speaking at the 78th Vasant Vyakhyanmala in Mumbai, Gadkari declared that vehicles will no longer have to halt at toll plazas, as the government is set to implement a satellite-based toll collection system within the next 15 days. The new "pay-as-you-drive" model ensures toll charges are levied based on the exact kilometers traveled, aiming to increase efficiency, reduce congestion, and make road travel more seamless for citizens. This step reflects the government’s push towards digital infrastructure and smart transport solutions.
Gadkari also emphasized the crucial role of roads and highways in boosting India's economic growth. With a ₹3 lakh crore allocation for road development this year, the focus is on reducing logistics costs from 16% to 9%, aligning with global standards. In addition, he reiterated the shift toward alternative fuels like ethanol, hydrogen, and biofuels to reduce dependency on imported petroleum. India is also moving toward green energy with 400 plants planned to convert waste to biofuel, and 90 already operational. His vision extends to expanding waterway infrastructure with 108 new routes, paving the way for a cleaner, more efficient, and self-reliant transport system in the near future.
