  "account": "Union Minister Pralhad Joshi declared that the government would take strict action against disruptive forces aiming to create disorder in society, during a campaign meeting in Hubballi on Sunday (October 11). Joshi emphasized that the government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, would not yield to threats from individuals or groups and would not tolerate any nonsense in the name of protests.\n\nJoshi addressed allegations made by Congress leaders, claiming that the government is responding to false statements about an investment by U.S. entrepreneur Elon Musk. He stressed that anyone seeking to invest or reside in India must comply with the country's laws, sovereignty, and regulations, and there is no compromise on these principles.\n\nThe minister also rebutted Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar's claims of a BJP conspiracy to delete approximately 50 lakh names from electoral rolls, asserting that the removal of deceased persons and duplicate or bogus entries was a lawful process carried out in accordance with established procedures. Joshi reiterated that educational institutions should prioritize academic reforms, focus on improving the quality of teaching, and provide students with better opportunities in higher education. He urged all educational institutions to adapt to changing times and equip students with the necessary knowledge, skills, and research capabilities to enhance their employment prospects.",
