Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has extended a unique invitation to the public, urging them to participate in his personal environmental mission. The minister, who has been planting a sapling every single day for more than four years, is now opening up his green drive for common people to join.
How to Join the Minister's Green Initiative
Interested individuals can now be a part of this sustained environmental effort by submitting their requests through the minister's official portal. The website, https://shivrajsinghchouhan.co.in, serves as the dedicated platform for this public outreach. This move transforms a personal commitment into a collective public cause.
The daily plantation activity typically takes place near Chouhan's official residence at 12, Safdarjung Road in New Delhi. The consistent effort over these years has visibly transformed the lane opposite his house, which is now reportedly lined with numerous new trees, standing as a testament to his perseverance.
Kerala's Political Landscape: A Glimpse from Parliament
In a separate political development noted in the capital's corridors, the aftermath of the Congress-led United Democratic Front's (UDF) splendid victory in the recent Kerala local body elections continues to ripple. The win has sparked widespread speculation about a potential political realignment within the state.
This speculation has found its way to Parliament, where even a casual interaction between key figures draws significant attention. A chance encounter between UDF convenor Adoor Prakash, who is a Congress Lok Sabha MP, and Kerala Congress (Mani) leader Jose K Mani, a Rajya Sabha member, became a topic of amused discussion in political circles.
An Offer and Its Aftermath
The intrigue deepened as it emerged that Prakash had sent an offer to Mani, whose party is currently a constituent of the CPM-led Left Democratic Front (LDF). Although Jose K Mani rejected the offer, Congress leaders remain optimistic. They are hopeful that Mani might eventually decide to leave what they term a "sinking ship" and align with the UDF. As of now, Mani has not given any clear signal regarding such a shift, leaving the political scenario in a state of watchful anticipation.
The convergence of these two narratives—one of environmental stewardship and the other of political maneuvering—highlights the diverse currents that flow through the nation's capital, where personal conviction and party strategy both play out on the public stage.
