  "account": "Pune: Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis addressed the BJP Maharashtra State Office-Bearers’ Meeting in Pune on Monday, urging party workers to brace for a new political opposition strategy while targeting the Congress. Fadnavis highlighted the evolving tactics of the opposition and stressed the need for the BJP to counter with facts and figures. He specifically criticized the opposition's strategy, referring to it as \"Congress Jitao Programme\" and accusing them of attempting to create a negative narrative around Hindu institutions, particularly the Ram temple. Fadnavis also targeted Rahul Gandhi, accusing the Congress leader of spreading falsehoods about students' voices and Indian society. He cited a fact-checking exercise by a young woman who found 29 out of 40 claims made by Gandhi to be false. Fadnavis projected a significant shift in the energy sector by 2030, envisioning farmers meeting 50% of the country’s petrol-diesel demand and electric vehicles meeting the remaining 50%. He acknowledged that some global forces might find India's move towards self-reliance uncomfortable, but did not label the opposition as enemies, instead emphasizing the importance for BJP workers to understand and respond to their evolving political methods.",
