to forget Patel’s contributions
Narmada: UnionHome
Minister Amit Shah on
Sunday said attempts
were made post-Inde-

ar Vallabhbhai Patel
and his contributions,
but the situation
changed and the world’s
tallest statue was an ex-
ample of the changed
realities.
While addressing the

(National Unity Day)
programme at Kevadia
in Gujarat’s Narmada
district to mark Sardar
Patel’s 146th birth an-
niversary, Shah said
“Unfortunate attempts
were made to forget
Sardar Patel. After in-

butions were never
given due respect. He
was neither given
Bharat Ratna nor prop-
er respect. The situa-
tion has changed. He
was given Bharat
Ratna and this world’s
tallest statue is before
us to see.”

Indira Gandhi sacrificed her life for nation’s unity and integrity: Gehlot
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot launched
a political attack on the
death anniversary of
former Prime Minister
Indira Gandhi, taking a
dig at the Central Gov-
ernment and the BJP.
Gehlot said that unfor-
tunately today such peo-
ple are sitting in the
power of the country,
who ask what Congress
has done in 70 years.
“When the country
became independent,
people did not know
what electricity was.
There were no schools,
no colleges and medical
facilities then. Modern
India, modern Ra-
jasthan and modern
Jaipur are the gifts of
Congress. Indira Gan-
dhi and great leaders of
Congress have sacri-
ficed their lives for the
unity and integrity of
the country
. He said that
the ideology of Con-
gress is the ideology of
the country
,” he said.
Gehlot virtually
flagged off ‘Indira Run
for Women’ and BILE
Rally from CMR on the
death anniversary of
former Prime Minister
Indira Gandhi from
Jaleb Chowk in Jaipur.
2000 women, girls and
students took part in
these runs. During this,
Gehlot said in his ad-
dress that the great
leaders of Congress
kept the country united.
Describing modern In-
dia, modern Rajasthan
and modern Jaipur as
the gift of Congress, Ge-
hlot targeted the BJP for
asking what the party
did for the last 70 years
and said, “Unfortunate-
ly such people come to
power in the country
and ask what Congress
has done in 70 years. In-
dira Gandhi made a
separate country Bang-
ladesh by splitting Paki-
stan into two. Then
crores of refugees came
to India, who were ac-
commodated in refugee
camps. Turn to P6

corona can spread again. In such a situation, it is
necessary that everyone should take ample pro-
tection against it. The whole world and we have
seen the havoc of the second wave of corona, in
such a situation, precautions have to be taken so
that it does not spread again.

ApartfromJaipur,the
situation is uncontrolla-

tostateDiscoms.ButDep-
utyLeaderof Opposition
Rajendra Rathore cor-
nered state government
regarding the recovery
that government had
made from public to re-
pay Adani’s money
.
Due to non-availabil-
ity of coal at govern-
ment level, Adani Pow-
er had imported coal
from Indonesia and pro-
duced power.
In March 2021, the
company made a claim
of Rs 5,637 cr on Ra-
jasthan Urja Vikas Nig-
am. After this the mat-
ter even reached SC. In
order to refund the
amount claimed by Ada-
ni, in the last 36 months,
the government had col-
lected 5 paise per unit
from 1.52 crore consum-
ers of the state.
BJP does not take Rathore’s
claims seriously: Transport Min

It is now clear that all this develop-
ment has happened due to the con-
nivance of the then officials and the
claim of Adani Group has been rejected.
Therefore, I hope that the government will
reimburse the amount of about Rs 2,627
crore collected from the public. Along with
this, action should also be taken against the
officials who conspired in collusion with
Adani. —Rajendra Rathore, Leader of Opposition

Jaipur: The forest de-
partment has failed to
trap a leopardess that
has been spotted sever-
al times in last nine
days around the Moti
Dungri Ganesh Ji tem-
ple area here. First In-
dia News was first to
report about leopardess
spotted on October 23.
After this the rescue
team of the forest
reached the spot and
carried out a search op-
eration by installing a
cage and camera traps
but the leopardess could
not be found. The leop-
ardess is around
1.5-year-old.
As the area around
the temple is densely
populated, there could
be an accident anytime
if the leopardess is not
caught. The leopardess
was seen coming till the
cage but did not go in-
side. Besides, absence
of Rescue Ranger Mo-
hammad Rashid is
causing anger among
the locals.

OP26 has begun in
Glasgow, UK,
where G20 leaders
have gathered to
take stock of what
hasbeen,andwhatneeds,tobe
done to save the climate and,
thereby
, the humanity from
destruction. Prime Minister
Narendra Modi is in Glasgow
to let the world know about In-
dia’s installed renewable en-
ergy
, wind and solar energy
capacity
. The prime minister
willtakeupequitabledistribu-
tion of carbon space and the
need to comprehensively ad-
dress climate change issues.
It is significant that in the
first nine months of 2021, In-
dia added 8,811 MW solar ca-
pacity and 1246 MW of wind
capacity. Compared to the
corresponding period in
2020, this was 280 percent and
101 percent higher, respec-
tively. The achievement of
101 gigawatts in renewable
energy is indeed a landmark
even though it is still below
the target of 175 GW.
The brigade of young activ-
istsatthevanguardof climate
change may not have the time
to critically appraise India’s
efforts but they are not happy
with what some of the other
countries are doing. Swedish
activist Greta Thunberg, for
instance, has said that the UK
and some other countries do
not take into account the
emissions from exported fos-
sil fuels, international ship-
ping or aviation. She was
quoted as saying that “UK has
an enormous historical re-
sponsibility” as that is where
the climate crisis started.
With more and more drill-
ing licences being still given
away, Thunberg called the
UK’s stand on protecting cli-
mate as “hypocritical”. She
is joined in her condemna-
tion by Uganda’s Vanessa Na-
kate. Their strong voice for
saving climate though heard
may go unheeded.

C
ardar Vallabhbhai Patel was
the pioneer of national inte-
gration and an able architect
of AkhandBharat.Alongwith
connecting the farmers and
youth in the freedom move-
ment, he worked to give it a
planned momentum. Not only
this, he along with VP Menon
hadalsodoneanunprecedent-
ed task, just before independ-
ence, to unite India which was
divided into princely states.
By merging 565 small and
bigprincelystatesof thecoun-
try into the Indian Union, he
presented a unique example
of a united India in the world.
I believe that it is Sardar Patel
who has the credit of putting
Satyagraha, which Mahatma
Gandhi had pioneered based
on true non-violence, into
practice and to mobilize the
people of the country on the
basis of it. Gandhi himself
had said in the Karachi ses-
sion in 1930 that Jawaharlal
Nehru is a thinker and Sardar
is a worker.
Patel came close to Gan-
dhiji during Kheda Satyagra-
ha. From that time he started
wearingdhotiandkurta,leav-
ing coat, pants and hat.
The Kheda region of Guja-
rat was then in the grip of
severe drought. Patel sup-
ported the farmers and
fought for them against the
British. With this Satyagra-
ha, his involvement in active
politics started. But its im-
portance is greater in the
sense that it was through Pa-
tel’s satyagraha that the pow-
er of the farmers emerged in
the national independence
movement. The British gov-
ernment finally had to bow
down in front of the satya-
graha led by Sardar Patel and
that year the farmers were
given relief in taxes.
Patel did the important
work of connecting the youth
power in the freedom move-
ment along with the farmers.
Addressing a gathering of
students in Ahmedabad on 28
September 1921, he said that
all students, who want their
self-respect and the self-re-
spect of the nation, should
cooperate in the non-cooper-
ation war while leaving gov-
ernmentcollegesandschools.
He said that a call was there
for the struggle for freedom.
The fight has broken out. At
such a time, everyone should
cooperate for the freedom
movement without paying at-
tention to thoughts like ‘what
will I do’ or ‘what will happen
to me’ etc.
The Bardoli movement led
by Patel has a special role in
the national independence
movement. In the year 1928,
the Bardoli Satyagraha was
carried out in Gujarat be-
cause the provincial govern-
ment had increased the farm-
ers’ rent by thirty percent.
Patel openly opposed this in-
crease in rent. The British
government made every ef-
fort to crush the Satyagraha
movement under his leader-
ship, but in the end, the Brit-
ish government was forced to
bow down to the demands of
the farmers. It was only after
the success of this satyagra-
ha movement led by Sardar
Patal that the women con-
ferred the title of ‘Sardar’ on
Vallabhbhai Patel.
Sardar Patel inspired the
farmers for their own rule by
opposing the heavy taxes im-
posed on them by the British
government. Gandhiji has
rightly explained the inter-
relationship of farmers
struggle and national free-
dom struggle in the context
of Bardoli farmers struggle
that every such struggle, eve-
ry effort by Patel is bringing
us closer to Swaraj. It is also
true that the iron leadership
of Sardar Patel was such in
which the common citizen of
the country was continuous-
ly inspired for independence.
Sardar Patel was a multi-
faceted and versatile person-
ality. His patriotism devoted
to the goal was such, in which
success always came. There
was no artificiality in him
nor did he have any urge to
establish himself. I believe
that he gave a new direction
to the Indian national move-
ment in an ideological and
functional form. Sardar Patel
also knew very well how to
win the heart of the oppo-
nent. With India getting inde-
pendence, he presented a
unique example in history by
integrating the rulers of
princely states in the Indian
Union. Although, initially,
many rulers were angry with
him because of the integra-
tion but due to his patriotism
and intention to do every-
thing for the country
, later all
such rulers became his close
friends. It is said that when
Patel died, many rulers cried
saying that their friend and
protector was gone.
It was Sardar Patel who,
while adopting a practical ap-
proach in the case of Hy-
derabad and Junagadh, did
not hesitate to merge them in
India and took action by
adopting a strong attitude.
Due to this, both these prince-
ly states belong to India today
.
He always looked at the
friendship of China with sus-
picion. National interest was
more important to him than
politics. When Patel went to
Hyderabad for the last time in
1950, he was praised there by
presenting him with a ‘Maan-
patra’. Patel had then said
that it was not the time to give
him the ‘Maanpatra’. He had
said that when a man leaves
the world and goes, the real
certificate is received only
after that, because if a man
does not commit any mistake
till the last day, then his re-
spect remains. That is why
we should pray to God that
till the last breath, we con-
tinue to serve the people with
a pure and selfless spirit.
Sardar Patel passed away
very soon but his dedication
and sacrifice towards the na-
tion, his decisions taken with
firm determination will al-
ways remind us of him. He
was the Iron Man who had
devoted his full strength in
the independence of the
country and later in the con-
struction of Akhand Bharat.
Truly he was a ‘Yugpurush’
(man of age.)

I believe that Patel gave a

in history

leadership, but in the
end, the British were

New Delhi: Bahujan
Samaj Party (BSP) na-
tional spokesperson
Sudhindra Bhadoria
hit out at Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh
(RSS) General Secre-
tary Dattatreya Hosab-
ole for his statement on
religious conversion
and said that RSS
should talk about pov-
erty, hunger and other
problems of the coun-
try rather than talking
about discrimination.
Bhadoria said, RSS
talks of discrimination
all the time. It should
talk about the problems
that exist within the
country, which are pov-
erty, hunger, atrocities
against the downtrod-
den people and injus-
tice with women in so-
ciety. I want to say that
RSS should be engaged
in some constructive
work rather than talk-
ing about discrimina-
tion. The BSP national
spokesperson also criti-
cised the Central gov-
ernment for the con-
tinuous rise in petrol
and diesel prices in the
country. Everyday
news is coming that
prices of petrol, diesel
and gas are increasing.
The prices of other es-
sential commodities
are also increasing.
The Modi govt made
promises to the people
that it will bring 'Achhe
din' but the govt is
bringing inflation, not
'achhe din'. The com-
mon people are very
disappointed and upset
due to the policies of
the central govern-
ment, added Bhadoria.

TO DIVIDE INDIA INTO PIECES: AMIT SHAH
Union Home Minister Amit Shah paid a floral
tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on his
birth anniversary at the Statue of Unity in Keva-

“National Unity Day has a unique importance.
Today is a day of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. After
independence, while leaving, Britishers had con-
spired to divide India into several pieces. Sardar
Patel foiled that conspiracy and resolved to make
‘Akhand Bharat’.”In a video message on National

There I also got a

did not allow Khal-

She herself was sacri-

every drop of her

the country. She had
realized a day before
his death. That’s when
she said in Odisha
that even if I lose my
life, I will not care.”
Gehlot said that the
ideology of Congress
is the ideology of the
country. “Leaders like
Pandit Jawaharlal
Nehru, Sardar Vallab-
hbhai Patel, Indira
Gandhi, Maulana Azad
and Bhimrao Ambed-
kar gave equal rights
to everyone in the Con-
stitution. People of all
religion-caste, lan-

gies live in India. De-
spite this, the country
is united in diversity.
This was possible only
because of our great
leaders. We have to
take everyone along,”

POSTAL REG NO. JPC/010/2019-21
Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: It has been one
year since senior IAS
Akhil Arora took over
the reins of Finance De-
partment. When on No-
vember 1, 2020 he took
over the ‘key’ of the
state treasury, he was
faced with a dilapidated
financial management
of the state owing to
Covid as on one hand
the revenue sources had
dried up, on the other
hand the expenses were
always there.
When in the situation
explained best by Hindi
saying, “Aamdani At-
thani, Kharcha Rupiya”
CM Gehlot selected Aro-
ra to handle the depart-
ment as nominee of CS
Niranjan Arya, the en-
tire bureaucracy was
surprised since at time
only three names were
being discussed for the
position and Arora’s
name did not feature in
them. However, Gehlot
played a ‘gamble’ in se-
lecting 1993 batch IAS
Akhil Arora who was a
member of the ‘core
team’ of the previous
government.
Over the past twelve
months, the examples
of capability, work eth-
cis and talent presented
by Arora go on to prove
that CM Gehlot’s deci-
sion in selecting Arora
was right. More impor-
tantly, word is that Ge-
hlot is so happy and
impressed with his
work style that during
the inauguration of
Prashasan Shehron Ke
Sang campaign he pub-
licly named Arora and
appreciated him.
In fact, Akhil Arora’s
performance has also
been commendable and
he managed to keep the
state away from a finan-
cial trouble with his
clever financial man-
agement abilities. Aro-
raensuredthatexpenses
needed to counter Covid
are not stalled as he
opened up the treasury
for purchase of ma-
chines, equipments and
medicines while also
providing money for
needy families. In addi-
tion he also provided for
a sum of Rs 1,000 crore
forpendingpaymentsof
coal. Furthermore, he
also provided Rs 350
crore for the Roadways
inadditiontoimmediate
payment of DA for the
state employees. Moreo-
ver,hismanagementhas
ensured that there is
enough budget for the
CM Chiranjeevi Beema
Yojna which is going to
start from Novemner 7.
But perhaps another
important aspect is that
as they say one person
can not win a war, in Fi-
naneDepartmenttoothe
saying applies as Arora
does not have a team in
the department who can
walk shoulder to shoul-
derwithhim.Theprepa-
rations for Budget 2022
has been started and
now Secretary (Budget)
Siddharth Mahajan has
left. When Prithvi Raj
couldnotperformonthe
position, Mahajan was
brought in but merely
one month back and
now the search will
have to be started yet
again. Secretary (Ex-
penditure) Naresh
Thakral is still a new
appointee as it has
merely been six months
since he came to the
post. T. Ravikant (Reve-
nue) is posted in the de-
partment for a year and
has a good grasp on the
work. However, in the
coming Jnuary when he
will be promoted to the
rank of Principal Secre-
tary after which he
would have to be trans-
ferred and therefore a
new officer will have to
besearchedforthisspot.
Then there is word of
transferof RaviJainand
Excise Commissioner
Jogaram.
In summation it
can be said that Akhil
Arora would face a
challenge in effective-
ly getting newly ap-
pointed officers to
work in the ‘technical’
Finance Department.
In Gehlot govern-
ment’s present bu-
reaucratic scenario,
where ‘delivery’ has
become a rare visibil-
ity, Arora carries a
‘delivery flagship’ in
day to day functioning
of finance and health
departments.

Housing Board (RHB)
Commissioner Pawan
Arora said recently
that Chief Minister.
Ashok Gehlot will
'gift' two chaupatis to
the residents of
Jaipur on Monday.
The Chief Minister
will first inaugurate
Jaipur chaupati,
Pratap Nagar and
Pratap Avenue at 6
pm, and then Mansa-
rovar chaupati at 6.30
pm. During this, the
Chief Minister will
also inspect the under
construction coaching
hub project in Pratap
Nagar.
Both the programs
will be presided over by
Urban Development
and Housing Minister
Shanti Dhariwal. Along
with this, local MLAs
Ganga Devi and Ashok
Lahoti will also be pre-
sent in the inaugura-
tion program of Jaipur
chaupati. The entry for
the residents of these
chowpattis will start
from 8 o'clock an hour
after the inauguration,
whereas on normal
days, these Chaupati
will remain open from
10 am to 11 pm, he said.
Commissioner Arora
further informed that
these Jaipur chaupati
have been prepared in
very less time. The
foundation stone of the
Chaupatis, developed
infrontof ShriDwarka-
das Udyan in Mansaro-
var and on Sector 23,
Haldighati Marg in
Pratap Nagar, was laid
by CM Ashok Gehlot
and UDH Minister
Shanti Dhariwal in De-
cember, 2019. The date
of completion of these
Chaupatis was fixed as
October 25, 2021. The
Housing Board has set
an example of its effi-
ciency by completing
the work of these Chau-
patis in a quality man-
ner before the stipulat-
ed time, he said.
Notably, delicious
dishes from across the
nation and abroad will
be found on both these
chowpattis as many
food items including
fast food, Italian food,
continental food, South
Indian food, Rajasthani
food, sweets, ice cream,
juices, shakes, butter-
milk, lassi etc can be
found here. 22 shops
have been set up at
Mansarovar Chaupati
and 28 shops have been
set up at Pratap Nagar
Chaupati. Interesting-
ly, in view of Diwali,
there will be live band
performances at both
these Chaupatis which
will continue through-
out the month.

Pointing out that the
Congress’ dominance
has been decreasing
over the last two and a
half decades, Dr Shar-
ma said, “The party has
not been in power for
the past 25 years. Mean-
while, the influence of

nata Party) has been in-
creasing steadily
. The
Congresssufferedheavy

The upcoming state

.”
He further said that
inflation is scaling new
heights in Gujarat every
day
, and the party does
not have strong local
leadership that can ena-
ble it to play the role of
an effective opposition.
“The people are dis-
tressed by the daily in-
crease in fuel prices. End
the in-fighting and focus
on the people’s issues,”
he advised the leaders.
Notably
, factionalism in
the Gujarat Congress has
led to visions within the
party—and benefited its
traditional rival, the BJP
.
In addition, Sharma

quarters Rajiv Gandhi

Who doesn’t like to deck up
their houses, especially for
Diwali? We have waited so
long for this festival after
the pandemic and
lockdowns and what-not,
but, finally, let’s shower
some some love and lights
at our living place and
make it the perfect
Diwali home!
SUSHMITA AIND
sushmita.aind@firstindia.co.in
eing a Christian, I
have always missed
the charm of per-
forming Pujas at
home, but, that never
stopped me from cel-
ebrating Diwali in a
manner that made it a special
occasion for me. I remember
when I would visit my friends
and help them decorate their
houses, how important it
would be to clean the entire
house and fill it with lights
and colours. Refueling all the
Diyas when the ‘ghee’ would
get over was a task but that
can be taken care of if we use
electric lights which often
come in various designs. Var-
ious scented Diyas and can-
dles add a perfect vibe to the
festive season. Rangolis, the
silent charm of this season,
can be decorated by using
various flowers instead of
just plain colours. If you feel
too artistic, you may also add
Diyas to your Rangolis. For
all the picture perfect mo-
ments, don’t forget to colour
code your decorations and
before anyone enters your
house, make sure to let them
see the positivity reflected
through the Bandarwals
which you may decorate us-
ing tassels and Torans.

MILLENNIAL
FESTIVE
Partying with your Veeres call for
bold yet hassle-free attire that lets
you dance your heart out. Opt for
cotton Lehengas in uber-cool prints
and a statement blouse. Add some
chunky oxidised jewellery for that
festive feel. If you’re feeling too filmy,
add a slit to the skirt and throw on
a denim jacket to round-off
your Desi look on just the
Millennial note!
PRETTY
IN PASTEL
Anyone who says pastel isn’t
festive clearly hasn’t met PC! This
one’s for all those who love hopping
onto the trends. Just like her,
throw on a muted fish-cut Lehenga
with a full sleeved blouse for an
understated yet impactful look. Play
around with a bold lip colour,
some diamonds and blow-
dried hair to be the belle of
the ball at every Puja
ceremony.
POP
OF COLOUR
Be a breath of fresh air in an
easy-breezy colourful striped
Lehenga that is so in trend, thanks
to Shilpa. Choose a halter blouse in a
bright hue while you go for neons on
the bottom. A floral fabric is always
a plus! Go for dewy make-up with
glossy lips. Wrap your hair in a
messy updo for a girl-next-door
look and don’t forget to adorn
your bun with some
fresh flowers.
SILK
SIMPLICITY
Ditch the idea that silk adds
age and drape this beautiful fabric
just how Alia Bhatt has done here.
Pair it up with a sleeveless blouse for
a new-age look and add some pretty
Jhumkas to play up the canvas. While
you’re at it, don’t forget to add that
charm with a Bindi and a neutral
lip-shade. Pull back your hair for
a neat look and you’re so
ready for Diwali.
OLD
IS GOLD
Raid your mom’s closet and
pick out a satin Saree from her
golden days. Trust me, it looks so
romantic and the flow of the pleats
is beyond dreamy. Like Madhuri in
Didi Tera Devar Deewana, opt for a
‘Seedha Pallu’. Bring on elegance with
a monochromatic blouse and some
metallic bangles. Add that old-world
charm with a Maang Tikka and
Kanauti earrings from your
family trunk.
BOLD
IN BLACK
If solids are your preferred
palette, opt for a black blouse and
team it up with a blingy gold/silver
Lehenga. You can totally ditch the
Dupatta or drape it as a cape and pose
for the Gram! Go for muted make-up
with bold, smokey eyes. Breakthe
monotonywithemeraldsorrubies.

while you ace that card
game!
