Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday received applause from some southern MPs who’ve typically expressed unhappiness over the usage of Hindi for official communications. Vaishnaw, who up to now too had made efforts to be taught Tamil phrases and their right pronunciations, was replying to a query raised by DMK’s T Sumathy over the railway stations underneath the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme in Tamil Nadu. “I wish to pronounce Chennai Egmore (station) as Chennai Elumbur. So, Chennai Elumbur station is likely one of the Amrit Bharat stations. It’s being developed very effectively,” mentioned the minister. His effort to pronounce the station title within the native dialect happy the members from the state, who thumped the desk to specific it.
Sporting Minister
Union Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, S P Singh Baghel seldom leaves a possibility to point out his enthusiasm for sports activities actions. Final weekend, when he visited an Eklavya Mannequin Residential Faculty in Dahod, an aspirational district in Gujarat, he performed volleyball with the scholars. Not too long ago, he rode a motorcycle within the Delhi cantt space when he attended a motorbike rally occasion organised on the event of Nationwide Milk Day.
