Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has been elected as the new President of the Gujarat Cricket Association(GCA), the supreme body of cricket in the state.

Modi's name was proposed in the Annual General Meeting attended by 32 members at Sardar Patel stadium-Motera in Ahmedabad.

Minister of state for Home, Law and Justice, Amit Shah was elected for the Vice-President post and Rajesh Patel for the Secretary post during AGM.

BJP has successfully snatched away GCA from Congress leader Narhari Amin's long control after a long court battle. Amin, ex-deputy Chief Minister of Gujarat had to resign early this year from the post of the President after defeat in court and also in election in which his panel lost badly.

May 04, 2025

The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today condoled the passing of Shri Shivanand Baba, a yoga practitioner and resident of Kashi.

He wrote in a post on X:

“योग साधक और काशी निवासी शिवानंद बाबा जी के निधन से अत्यंत दुख हुआ है। योग और साधना को समर्पित उनका जीवन देश की हर पीढ़ी को प्रेरित करता रहेगा। योग के जरिए समाज की सेवा के लिए उन्हें पद्मश्री से सम्मानित भी किया गया था।

शिवानंद बाबा का शिवलोक प्रयाण हम सब काशीवासियों और उनसे प्रेरणा लेने वाले करोड़ों लोगों के लिए अपूरणीय क्षति है। मैं इस दुःख की घड़ी में उन्हें श्रद्धांजलि देता हूं।”
