    Delhi dreams big as Live Times Xchange charts vision for 2047 future

    MUMBAI: When the capital talks, the country listens jkand Live Times Xchange made sure Delhi’s voice roared loud and clear at its 4th flagship conclave on 10 September 2025 at the Taj Palace, New Delhi. Centred on ‘Mission Delhi @2047: Reinvent India’s Capital’, the event gathered an eclectic mix of powerbrokers, policymakers, and public voices to reimagine the city’s future.

    The line-up was nothing short of formidable: chief minister Rekha Gupta, MPs Sanjay Singh and Manoj Tiwari, ministers Kapil Mishra, Ashish Sood, Parvesh Verma, AAP Delhi president Saurabh Bhardwaj, Congress leaders Devendra Yadav and Alka Lamba, Delhi mayor Raja Iqbal Singh, JNU vice-chancellor Prof. Santishree Dhulipudi, former AIIMS director Dr. M.C. Mishra, and justice Sudheer Aggarwal. Together, they debated the policies, politics, and pathways to transform Delhi into a global, citizen-first capital by 2047.

    Rekha Gupta unveiled an ambitious blueprint: complete electrification of public transport, seven million new trees to expand Delhi’s green cover, and a renewed push to restore the city’s healthcare credibility. “Delhi will not only see change in infrastructure but also in intent, as governance becomes truly people-first,” she assured.

    Ashish Sood spotlighted futuristic education reforms, from 75 CM Shri Schools teaching AI, robotics, and data science to a Rs 900 crore allocation for 21,000 smart classrooms, alongside the clean yamuna Mission. Alka Lamba, reflecting on her 30 years in politics, credited Sheila Dikshit’s legacy of flyovers, metros, schools, and hospitals, and urged today’s leaders to carry forward long-term, responsible governance.

    Manoj Tiwari brought personal grit to the table, recalling his journey from Bhojpuri cinema to Parliament and defending Delhi’s migrants. He touted initiatives like Rs 1 lakh free healthcare for the poor, Ayushman Arogya centres, GPS-tracked water tankers, Yamuna clean-up drives, and the UVR-2 road project as proof of development with intent.

    The conclave distilled five big pillars for Mission Delhi @2047:

    ●    Smart, transparent governance

    ●    Sustainable green infrastructure

    ●    EV-led future mobility

    ●    Knowledge and innovation hubs

    ●    Inclusive healthcare, housing, and citizen services

    For Live Times founder & editor-in-chief Dilip Kumar Singh the gathering epitomised the brand’s ethos: “Sampoorna Satya, Har Keemat Par is not just a slogan, it is our responsibility. LT Xchange shows that when leadership and media collaborate on facts, democracy thrives.”

    As the curtains fell, the message was unmistakable: Delhi’s reinvention rests on collaboration, innovation, and accountability. With optimism and determination in the air, the conclave left one lingering thought, if politics, policy, and people can pull together, Delhi 2047 won’t just be a capital, it’ll be a global benchmark.

  • Ashutosh formally joins AAP

    Ashutosh formally joins AAP

    MUMBAI: When IBN7’s former managing editor and one of India’s most well known faces of Indian journalism, Ashutosh resigned a few days ago, speculations about him joining the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) were rife.

     

    After dillydallying a bit with the fellow media people for some time, the veteran journalist confirmed it in the morning with a tweet that he will be formally joining AAP today at 3 pm. The tweet has also been retweeted by AAP’s official handle. “Good morning. Need your blessings. Today I am formally joining AAP at 3 PM,” says the tweet.

     

    A formal announcement is probably going to come from Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Sanjay Singh who are addressing a press conference around the same time in the capital.

     

    A string of tweets from Ashutosh Ashtosh shows his inclination towards the new step that he has taken to serve the nation.

     

    Here’s what he has tweeted:

     

    Tweet 1: ‘There will be enough time to make careers but such times come rarely in history when one gets an opportunity to help make a better nation.’

     

    Tweet 2: ‘I did not like politics, the politics of big cars, of five star hotels, of money and muscle power. Common man had no role in that politics.’

     

    Tweet 3: ‘Today politics is changing. This is the time to empower and support that energy which is agent of change and which will cleanse the system.’

  • Ketan Mehta’s film on the Mountain Man faces 1st hurdle

    Ketan Mehta’s film on the Mountain Man faces 1st hurdle

    MUMBAI: Within hardly 15 days of its announcement, Ketan Mehta‘s biopic of Mountain Man Dashrath Manjhi, has reportedly hit a roadblock.

    Bhagirath Dashrath Manjhi, son of Dashrath Manji, has now issued a public notice saying that he had exclusively assigned the making rights to filmmaker Neerraj Pathak.

    According to the notice, no other person has the consent to make a film on his late father. The notice further states that he has the right to take legal action against anyone who attempts to infringe the personal rights of his family.

    In his absence, Mehta‘s actress-turned-filmmaker wife Deepa Sahi said, “It is a true life story so anyone can make a film based on it. It is part of our history so no one can have a copyright to it.”

    Earlier in July 2010, director Manish Jha had announced a film titled Manjhi based on the life of Dashrath Manjhi. The film was to be produced by Sanjay Singh, who had earlier announced to produce Udaan in which Manoj Bajpai was slated to play the lead. But the project never saw light of the day.

    It may be interesting to note that Dashrath Manjhi, in his determination to cut a distance between Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya district from 75 km to just one km, single-handedly carved a 360-foot-long, 25-foot-high and 30-foot-wide road by cutting a mountain of Gehlour hills for 22 years from 1960 to 1982.
