to the ground. This was my
initiation into the humble
world of Samaj Sevaks, peo-
plewhoworkwholeheartedl
y
for society and the country
.
The process of debunking
myths about contesting elec-
tions had started for me.
I was told that I would be
fighting against a candidate
belonging to the royal family
and had ruled over the area
from 1952 to 1998. So it was
natural that winning the
election was going to be no
walk in the park for me, nei-
ther would my candidature
be accepted easily. Seniors
advised me to spread a word
among my family, friends
and relatives that I would be
fighting the elections and
seek their support. They
also advised me to meet
Atalji, Advaniji, Kushabhau
Thakre and Sushmaji.
The first karyakarta meet-
ing was to be held at Agarwal
Dharamshala
, Gurgaon. We
were fighting as a coalition
so a joint meeting with Indi-
an National Lokdal and BJP
karyakartas was organized.
The hall was chock-full of
workers of the two parties.
Modiji was present for the
meeting along with the most
renowned names of the BJP
.
What transpired that day
touched me to the core and I
grew emotionally attached
with Modiji for his brotherly
protection,guidanceandsup-
port. In his speech, Modiji
said, “One vote has made all
the difference and it is this- it
is the vote of Congress’s Rao
Indrajeet. Now Sudha Yadav
will fight for this seat. She is
a Veerangana and does not
have anything. We have to
help her fight and win.”
Modiji spread out a sheet on
the floor and placed a steel
Kalash in the centre. He then
charged the hall with these
words “I am a pracharak and
the Sangh takes care of me
and my expenses. Several
years ago when I visited my
mother, she blessed me with
Rs 11 and told me that this
money will come in handy
someday
. I feel it was for this
day that my mother gave me
that money
. I offer Rs 11 for
mysisterSudhaYadav’sfight
in this election and I request
all the karyakartas to sacri-
fice in this yajna everything
they have on them right now,
except for the fare to go back
home.” I was mesmerized, in
a state of transcendence
, as
this entire experience was so
new to me. Within half an
hour, at Modiji’s behest, an
amount of Rs 7.5 lakh had
been collected as funds for
my election campaign.
This is how my political
journey began. After this
Modiji organised a sabha in
my Lok Sabha constituency
.
It was a magnificent sabha
in Rewari and Atalji was to
attend it as well. Modiji rode
on a scooter the entire day to
gauge the pulse of the peo-
ple and the response to our
campaign. My car was stuck
in jam as people were gush-
ing in for the sabha and the
hovering of Atalji’s helicop-
ter could be heard signaling
his arrival. Modiji got me a
lift on a scooter too that took
me through the narrow
lanes so that I could make it
to the sabha in time. After
the event was over, Atalji
had a brief interaction with
me before leaving. He con-
gratulated me for inching
closer to a win. At last, when
I met Modiji at the party of-
fice later in the day, he said
“Look, you are winning this
election. Keep your calm
and continue to campaign
for a couple of days more.
You will make it.” And in-
deed, I won that election!
TO BE CONTINUED…
udha Yadav is a Kargil war
widow and has been a Lok
Sabha MP from Haryana.
Modi’s decision to field Kar-
gil war widows as candidates
gave this teacher a chance to
contest elections. Modi was
PrabhariatHaryanaofficeat
that time. The story is about
the immense support and
guidance that she received
from Modiji for the big con-
test. The incident as it hap-
pened: Modiji had once re-
ceived Rs 11 from his mother
in blessing, which he in turn,
a few years down the line,
handed over to Sudha Yadav
as a blessing to initiate her
election campaign and asked
the karyakartas to contrib-
ute whatever they had on
them at that moment to fund
her campaign. Within half
an hour, there were Rs 7.5
lakh on the blanket donated
as a campaign fund for Sud-
ha and of course, Sudha Ya-
dav won that election.
There were 18 Kargil war
widows in the area I resided
in and it was Modiji’s vision
to field someone from the
family of martyrs for that
election. I was a teacher by
profession and was clueless
about the ways of politics.
All of a sudden I started re-
ceiving calls from BJP mem-
bers encouraging me to con-
test elections but I continued
to refuse as neither my fam-
ily nor I ever imagined my-
self cut out for such a role.
Also, I had no political back-
ground. It was then that
Chaudhary Ishwar Singhji,
who was then the State Pres-
ident of Kisan Morcha, said
to me “I will give you a num-
ber. Speak to the person. You
will find your way
.” It hap-
pened to be Narendrabha
i’s
number. Let me reiterate, I
was so politically naive, I did
not even know what it meant
to be Rashtriye Sanghathan
Mahamantri of BJP
.
Nevertheless,
I called up
the landline number. Naren-
dra bhai used to reside at
Harishchandr
aMathurLane
at that time. He answered the
call himself and I introduced
myself. I said that the mem-
bers of the BJP are persuad-
ing me to contest the upcom-
ing elections and since I am
befuddled I have been given
your number. What he said to
me completely changed my
perspective.Hesaid“Sudhaji
a great change has come in
yourlifewiththemartyrdom
of your husband. Now you
must come out to serve soci-
ety
. Just say yes and the party
will help you fight the elec-
tions.” Although I wasn’t
completelyconvincedwheth-
er really politics was my cup
of tea, I called up Narendra
bhai the next day and con-
firmed to him my intention
to contest the elections. But
again I shared my misgiv-
ingswithhimandsaid,“Nar-
endra bhai, a few party work-
ers have told me that a lot of
money is required to run an
election campaign whereas I
belong to the service class.
What I have received as
exgratia payment, I wish to
save for my children. My
daughter is 7 while my son is
only three and a half. So this
money I cannot spend.” Nar-
endra bhai replied “Sudhaji
just say yes. Sangathan will
help you fight the elections.
These are all myths about
elections that you must not
harbour.HavefaithinNaren-
dra bhai and say yes to serv-
ing the society
.”
Thiswasthefirsttelephon-
ic conversation
I had with
Narendra bhai and I was yet
to meet him in person. My
first meeting with some of
the senior leaders of the
Sangh Parivar happened a
coupleof dayslateratHarish-
chandra Mathur Lane which
wastheresidenceof anMP
.It
had two rooms at the back
and an open area in the front.
I was awe-stricken
to find

tress on the floor, with books
strewn all over the place and
a telephone next to him. One

SONIA GANDHI RAHUL GANDHI GET ED NOTICES IN NATIONAL HERALD CASE
CONGRESS CRIES
‘VENDETTAPOLITICS’
 Rahul Gandhi has been summoned today
 Sonia Gandhi has been summoned on June 8
Moni Sharma
New Delhi: The En-
forcement Directorate
on Wednesday sum-
moned Congress presi-
dent Sonia Gandhi and
her MP son Rahul Gan-
dhi for questioning in a
money laundering case
linked to the National
Herald newspaper, offi-
cials said.
The case was regis-
tered recently to probe
alleged financial irregu-
larities in the party-pro-
motedYoungIndianthat
owns the National Her-
ald newspaper. State-
mentsof otherCongress
leaders, who were then
office bearers of the Na-
tional Herald and Asso-
ciated Journals Limited
(AJL), have also been
recorded by the ED.
The case only in-
volved the conversion
of debt into equity to
pay off dues like sala-
ries, the Congress said,
accusing the govern-
ment of trying to deflect
attention from “real is-
sues” like inflation.
By targeting National Herald every
now and then, BJP has disgraced
and disrespected freedom fighters
as their [BJP’s]
predecessors
didn’t play a role in India’s
Freedom Movement. National
Herald newspaper was started
in 1942. At that time British
tried to suppress it. Today,
Modi govt is using the ED
to do the same. A money
laundering case has been registered when there is
no money laundering. Move reeks of a vendetta,
pettiness, fear, and political cheapness.

Irani hits out at CM for ‘giving clean chit’ to Jain
New Delhi (ANI): Un-
ion Minister Smriti
Irani on Wednesday
lambasted CM Arvind
Kejriwal for “giving a
clean chit” to arrested
Cabinet Minister Saty-
endar Jain while also
posing a set of ques-
tions to the Aam Aadmi
Party supremo.
Jain was arrested by
the Enforcement Direc-
torate (ED) in an al-
leged money launder-
ing case and sent to
custody till June 9.
However, Kejriwal on
Tuesday defended Jain
calling the latter a true
patriot and terming the
allegations against him
‘false’.
Addressing a press
conference on Wednes-
day, Irani said, “Arvind
Kejriwal presumed the
role of a judge and gave
him a clean chit. I want
to ask Arvind Kejriwal
a few questions. My
first question is, can Ke-
jriwal deny that Satyen-
dar Jain laundered
`16.39 crore using 56
shell companies with
the support of hawala
operators in Kolkata
from 2010-11 to 2015-16?”
The Union Minister
further asked if Satyen-
dar Jain declared that
money laundered repre-
senting the undisclosed
income under the in-
comedisclosurescheme
2016 in the name of his
close associates An-
kush Jain, and Vaibhav
Jain is a self-declara-
tion by him in 2016.
“Is it true that the
principal commission-
er of income tax has
held that the unac-
counted income of
`16.39 crore was not of
Ankush Jain and Vaib-
hav Jain, but that Saty-
endar Jain was the real
owner of the income,”
she asked in her series
of questions to CM.
Union Minister Smriti Irani.
Arvind Ke-
jriwal pre-
sumed the
role of a judge and
gave him a clean
chit. I want to ask

few questions.

Aiming to treat all wastewater
before it flows into Yamuna: CM
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi
Chief Minister Arvind
Kejriwal on Monday in-
spected the country’s
largest sewage treat-
ment plant (STP) at
Coronation Pillar here
and said his govern-
ment’s aim is to treat all
the wastewater before it
is discharged into the
Yamuna.
The fully automatic
STP can treat 70 million
gallons of wastewater a
day and is currently un-
dergoing a trial run.
“We have promised to
the people of Delhi that
we will clean the Yamu-
na before 2025. Working
in that direction, we
will treat all the waste-
water before it flows
into the river,” he said.
The work on Corona-
tion Pillar STP was
sanctioned in Decem-
ber 2018.
The STP is equipped
with state-of-the-art
phosphate and nitrogen
removal facilities and
designed to treat waste-
water to new standards
(biological oxygen de-
mand and total soluble
solids less than 10 mg
per litre). Areas which
will benefit from the
plant include Shakti
Nagar, Kamla Nagar,
Roop Nagar, DU Cam-
pus, Nehru Nagar, Swa-
roop Nagar, Bhalaswa,
Sant Nagar and Wa-
zirabad group of colo-
nies.
Delhi generates
around 770 MGD of
wastewater. The 34
STPs located at 20 loca-
tions across Delhi can
treat up to 620 MGD of
sewage and have been
utilising around 90 per
cent of their capacity.
The rest of the un-
treated sewage falls
into the river directly.
Government data
shows that only eight
out of the 34 opera-
tional STPs in the cap-
ital meet the pre-
scribed standards for
wastewater (BOD and
TSS less than 10 mg
per litre). Together,
they can treat 150 mil-
lion gallons of waste-
water a day.
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi
Chief Minister Arvind
Kejriwal on Wednesday
said Satyendar Jain, ar-
rested by the Enforce-
ment Directorate, should
be awarded the Padma
Vibhushan for giving the
‘mohalla clinics’ model
that treats people free of
cost. Kejriwal defended
Jain as a “hardcore hon-
est and patriot” person
who was being framed in
a “false case” and hoped
the minister will come
out clean after the ED
probe.
“The country should
be proud him as he gave
the model of Mohalla
Clinic that are being vis-
ited by people from the
world, including (ex) Sec-
retary General of the
UN. He gave a health
model that treats people
free of cost.
“I think, he should be
given top awards like the
Padma Bhushan or Pad-
ma Vibhushan,” Kejri-
wal told reporters here.
Noting that the CBI
gave clean chit to Jain,
the Delhi CM said now
the ED can also conduct
its probe and the minis-
ter will come out clean.
Jain holds various
portfolios, including
Health, Power and Home,
in the Arvind Kejriwal
government.
New Delhi (PTI): Senior
AAP leader Atishi on
Wednesday alleged that
Lieutenant Governor Vi-
nai Kumar Saxena had
called a meeting of DJB
officials and issued them
instructions despite the
subject of water being
the responsibility of the
Delhi government.
During a media brief-
ing, she said since the
L-G was new, he might
not have been aware of
the constitutional provi-
sions. “On May 30, Delhi
L-G called a meeting of
Delhi Jal Board (DJB) of-
ficials and issued them
directions. Since he is
new to the system, he
might not be knowing
the constitutional provi-
sions. “Land, law and or-
der, police and now with
the MCD also being uni-
fied and brought under
the Centre… it will come
under him since he is a
representative of the
Centre. But education,
electricity and water are
subjects that come under
the Delhi government,”
the AAP leader said.
She said such develop-
ments could lead to a cha-
otic situation in the na-
tional capital. “Delhi
L-G issues some direc-
tions to the officials.
Then some instructions
will be given to them by
the Delhi government.
What will the officials
do? Will they follow the
instructions of the L-G
or the government or
neither? This will lead to
a chaotic situation in
Delhi,” she added.
New Delhi (PTI): The
Delhi government has
extended the last date
for EWS admissions in
entry level classes up to
June 14, according to of-
ficials.
“The last date for re-
porting by successful
candidates of EWS and
DG category in entry
level classes has been
extended up to June
14,” Yogesh Pal Singh,
Deputy Director of Ed-
ucation, said. The ad-
missions to entry level
classes in private
schools in the city un-
der Economically
Weaker Section (EWS),
Disadvantaged Group
(DG) and Children with
Special Needs (CWSN)
categories began from
March 29.
New Delhi: The Jawa-
harlal Nehru Universi-
ty (JNU) has notified
the appointment of a
Chairperson (Health
Services) who will now
be responsible for the
Health Centre on cam-
pus.
As of now, the Health
Centre comes under the
Dean of Students.
Several complaints
regarding the function-
ing of the Health
Centre have been
given to the administra-
tion in the past, both
by students and teach-
ers, especially after the
pandemic.
“The Executive
Council in its 300th
meeting on May 5,
2022… has resolved
to approve the recom-
mendations of the
Health Infrastructure
and Services
Review Committee and
authorised the Vice-
Chancellor of Jawahar-
lal Nehru University to
appoint Chairperson
and do the needful for
its implementation in-
cluding the modifica-
tion in the ordinances
as recommended by the
Committee.
New Delhi: The Del-
hi High Court on
Wednesday issued a
notice to Delhi Uni-
versity (DU) and St
Stephen’s College on
a public interest liti-
gation (PIL) chal-
lenging the latter’s
decision to continue
with interviews for
admission to its gen-
eral seats. The peti-
tion sought a direc-
tion to make St Ste-
phen’s College admit
students on its ‘unre-
served seats’ of un-
dergraduate courses
only on the basis of
marks received by
them in their Com-
mon University En-
trance Test (CUET)
exam as mandated by
the DU.
The division bench
of Acting Chief Jus-
tice Vipin Sanghi
and Justice Sachin
Datta also issued no-
tice to University
Grants Commission
(UG) and granted the
respondents four
weeks to respond to
the PIL. It listed the
matter for next hear-
ing on July 6.
St Stephen’s Col-
lege and Delhi Uni-
versity have been at
loggerheads over the
minority institu-
tion’s refusal to do
away with inter-
views for admissions
to its general seats.
New Delhi (PTI): AAP
leader Sanjay Singh on
Wednesday alleged the
Centre is trying to divert
attention from the kill-
ings of Kashmiri Pandits
in the Valley by opening
an old case against Delhi
minister Satyendar Jain.
Instead of worrying
about sending Jain to jail,
theCentreshouldthinkof
waystowipeoutterrorists
in Kashmir, he said. Jain,
who holds various portfo-
lios, including health,
home and power, in the
Delhigovernment,wasar-
restedbytheEnforcement
Directorate (ED) in a case
of money laundering on
Monday
. A Delhi court on
Tuesday sent him to ED
custody till June 9.
Speaking at a press
conference, Singh said,
“At a time when Kashmi-
ri Pandits are being mur-
dered on a daily basis, the
Centre is trying to divert
attention from the issue
by opening an old case
(against Jain). Why did
the ED, which was sleep-
ing for the last eight
years, pick up Jain right
before the Himachal
Pardesh elections?” “In
the last eight years, he
was summoned seven
times by the ED. But why
was he arrested when he
was made the (AAP’s) in-
charge of Himachal
Pradesh and when the
AAPwasbecomingactive
in the state?” he asked.
TheHimachalPradesh
Assembly polls are slated
for later this year. The
AAP is looking to make
inroads into the state af-
ter its stupendous victo-
ry in Punjab earlier this
year.
Singh alleged the
Centre is not worried
about the plight of
Kashmiri Pandits. “It
would have been good
had the Centre held a
Cabinet meeting and
discussed ways to wipe
out terrorists, protect
Kashmiri Pandits and
save their lives.
BJP STEPS
UP ATTACK
New Delhi (PTI): Inten-
sifying its attack on
Delhi CM Arvind Kejri-
wal over his defence of
Satyendar Jain, the BJP
onWednesday cited a
host of details linked to
the money laundering
case allegedly involving
the Delhi health minis-
ter and asked why he
has been“protecting”
him. Union minister
Smriti Irani noted that
Kejriwal had said on
Tuesday that corrup-
tion was tantamount
to“gaddari”(betrayal)
with the country and
asked why the AAP
national convener was
giving protection to a
“gaddar”(traitor) who
has allegedly deceived
treasury and people.

Delhi generates around 770 MGD of wastewater. The 34 STPs located at 20 locations across Delhi
can treat up to 620 MGD of sewage and have been utilising around 90 per cent of their capacity.
The rest of the untreated sewage falls into the river directly. Government data shows that only eight
out of the 34 operational STPs in the capital meet the prescribed standards for wastewater (BOD and
TSS less than 10 mg per litre). Together, they can treat 150 million gallons of wastewater a day.

Bihar politicos see eye to

New Delhi: Caste-
based survey to be con-

announced chief minis-
ter Nitish Kumar on
Wednesday
.
Addressing a press
conference along with
RJD leader Tejashwi
Yadav, Nitish Kumar
said that the “caste-
based count” will done
in a set time frame.
The Bihar chief minis-
ter made announce-
ment after an all-party
meet held on Wednes-
day.
“In the meeting all
nine parties unani-
mously decided that a
caste-based census will
be done in a set time
frame. Soon a cabinet
decision will be taken
and it will be available
in the public domain,”
Nitish said.
RJD leader Tejashwi
Yadav asserted that the
“caste-based survey”
was in the interest of
the people of the state
and urged the Central
government to provide
the necessary finan-
cial support.
“It’s a caste-based
survey, not a census.
It’s our win. Today we
suggested (in the all-
party meeting) that so-
cial anthropologists
should be included in
this,” Tejashwi said.
“We’ve said to bring
the (bill) in the next
cabinet meeting and
start it in the month of
November. During

reside outside Bihar
will also come to the

can complete prepara-
tion for it,” he added.

dav, by wielding more powers in organisaitonal matters.

It said new and

of Weapons of Mass De-

by terrorist groups and

“The access to these
weapons of mass de-

posed by these weapons
to international peace

Speaking at the open
consultations of the UN
Security Council 1540
Committee on the pro-

chemical and biological
weapons, he said a key
area that needs the fo-
cus of the international
community is the rapid
evolution of prolifera-
tion risks.
“New and emerging
technologies may in-
crease these risks of
WMD access by terror-
ist groups and other
non-state actors. The
growing capabilities of
terrorists and other
non-state groups to ac-
cess delivery systems
like missiles and un-
manned/uncrewed aer-
ial systems have com-
pounded the risks of
terrorism using WMDs.
“Similarly, in the

NAGA PEACE TALKS

PERSPECTIVE
04
to the ground. This was my
initiation into the humble
world of Samaj Sevaks, peo-
plewhoworkwholeheartedly
for society and the country
.
The process of debunking
myths about contesting elec-
tions had started for me.
I was told that I would be
fighting against a candidate
belonging to the royal family
and had ruled over the area
from 1952 to 1998. So it was
natural that winning the
election was going to be no
walk in the park for me, nei-
ther would my candidature
be accepted easily. Seniors
advised me to spread a word
among my family, friends
and relatives that I would be
fighting the elections and
seek their support. They
also advised me to meet
Atalji, Advaniji, Kushabhau
Thakre and Sushmaji.
The first karyakarta meet-
ing was to be held at Agarwal
Dharamshala, Gurgaon. We
were fighting as a coalition
so a joint meeting with Indi-
an National Lokdal and BJP
karyakartas was organized.
The hall was chock-full of
workers of the two parties.
Modiji was present for the
meeting along with the most
renowned names of the BJP
.
What transpired that day
touched me to the core and I
grew emotionally attached
with Modiji for his brotherly
protection,guidanceandsup-
port. In his speech, Modiji
said, “One vote has made all
the difference and it is this- it
is the vote of Congress’s Rao
Indrajeet. Now Sudha Yadav
will fight for this seat. She is
a Veerangana and does not
have anything. We have to
help her fight and win.”
Modiji spread out a sheet on
the floor and placed a steel
Kalash in the centre. He then
charged the hall with these
words “I am a pracharak and
the Sangh takes care of me
and my expenses. Several
years ago when I visited my
mother, she blessed me with
Rs 11 and told me that this
money will come in handy
someday
. I feel it was for this
day that my mother gave me
that money
. I offer Rs 11 for
mysisterSudhaYadav’sfight
in this election and I request
all the karyakartas to sacri-
fice in this yajna everything
they have on them right now,
except for the fare to go back
home.” I was mesmerized, in
a state of transcendence, as
this entire experience was so
new to me. Within half an
hour, at Modiji’s behest, an
amount of Rs 7.5 lakh had
been collected as funds for
my election campaign.
This is how my political
journey began. After this
Modiji organised a sabha in
my Lok Sabha constituency
.
It was a magnificent sabha
in Rewari and Atalji was to
attend it as well. Modiji rode
on a scooter the entire day to
gauge the pulse of the peo-
ple and the response to our
campaign. My car was stuck
in jam as people were gush-
ing in for the sabha and the
hovering of Atalji’s helicop-
ter could be heard signaling
his arrival. Modiji got me a
lift on a scooter too that took
me through the narrow
lanes so that I could make it
to the sabha in time. After
the event was over, Atalji
had a brief interaction with
me before leaving. He con-
gratulated me for inching
closer to a win. At last, when
I met Modiji at the party of-
fice later in the day, he said
“Look, you are winning this
election. Keep your calm
and continue to campaign
for a couple of days more.
You will make it.” And in-
deed, I won that election!
TO BE CONTINUED…
udha Yadav is a Kargil war
widow and has been a Lok
Sabha MP from Haryana.
Modi’s decision to field Kar-
gil war widows as candidates
gave this teacher a chance to
contest elections. Modi was
PrabhariatHaryanaofficeat
that time. The story is about
the immense support and
guidance that she received
from Modiji for the big con-
test. The incident as it hap-
pened: Modiji had once re-
ceived Rs 11 from his mother
in blessing, which he in turn,
a few years down the line,
handed over to Sudha Yadav
as a blessing to initiate her
election campaign and asked
the karyakartas to contrib-
ute whatever they had on
them at that moment to fund
her campaign. Within half
an hour, there were Rs 7.5
lakh on the blanket donated
as a campaign fund for Sud-
ha and of course, Sudha Ya-
dav won that election.
There were 18 Kargil war
widows in the area I resided
in and it was Modiji’s vision
to field someone from the
family of martyrs for that
election. I was a teacher by
profession and was clueless
about the ways of politics.
All of a sudden I started re-
ceiving calls from BJP mem-
bers encouraging me to con-
test elections but I continued
to refuse as neither my fam-
ily nor I ever imagined my-
self cut out for such a role.
Also, I had no political back-
ground. It was then that
Chaudhary Ishwar Singhji,
who was then the State Pres-
ident of Kisan Morcha, said
to me “I will give you a num-
ber. Speak to the person. You
will find your way
.” It hap-
pened to be Narendrabhai’s
number. Let me reiterate, I
was so politically naive, I did
not even know what it meant
to be Rashtriye Sanghathan
Mahamantri of BJP
.
Nevertheless, I called up
the landline number. Naren-
dra bhai used to reside at
HarishchandraMathurLane
at that time. He answered the
call himself and I introduced
myself. I said that the mem-
bers of the BJP are persuad-
ing me to contest the upcom-
ing elections and since I am
befuddled I have been given
your number. What he said to
me completely changed my
perspective.Hesaid“Sudhaji
a great change has come in
yourlifewiththemartyrdom
of your husband. Now you
must come out to serve soci-
ety
. Just say yes and the party
will help you fight the elec-
tions.” Although I wasn’t
completelyconvincedwheth-
er really politics was my cup
of tea, I called up Narendra
bhai the next day and con-
firmed to him my intention
to contest the elections. But
again I shared my misgiv-
ingswithhimandsaid,“Nar-
endra bhai, a few party work-
ers have told me that a lot of
money is required to run an
election campaign whereas I
belong to the service class.
What I have received as
exgratia payment, I wish to
save for my children. My
daughter is 7 while my son is
only three and a half. So this
money I cannot spend.” Nar-
endra bhai replied “Sudhaji
just say yes. Sangathan will
help you fight the elections.
These are all myths about
elections that you must not
harbour.HavefaithinNaren-
dra bhai and say yes to serv-
ing the society
.”
Thiswasthefirsttelephon-
ic conversation I had with

to meet him in person. My
first meeting with some of
the senior leaders of the
Sangh Parivar happened a
coupleof dayslateratHarish-

had two rooms at the back
and an open area in the front.

a telephone next to him. One

Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: When for-
mer Karnataka Chief
Minister BS Yediyurap-
pa was removed from
the post of Chief Minis-
ter, there was talk that
his son BY Vijayendra
would be made a minis-
ter in the state govern-
ment, but that did not
happen. Then there was
a discussion that he
would be given ticket in
the Legislative Council
elections to be held on
seven seats, but he
didn’t even get the tick-
et. Now Yediyurappa
has said that a big re-
sponsibility will be
given to his son. There-
fore the question is,
will his son get the big
responsibility as his fa-
ther has claimed? Keep
in mind that the assem-
bly elections are going
to be held in the state
next year and it is be-
lieved that Vijayendra
can get a ticket then.
But contesting the as-
sembly elections is not
a big responsibility. So
the question natural
arises: Is Yediyurappa
seeing his son become
the chief minister?
On the other hand,
knowledgeable BJP
leaders say that Basa-
varaj Bommai has been
made the Chief Minis-
ter of the state as Yed-
diurappa’s choice. So
now there is no need to
listen to him.
Either he can keep a
chief minister of his
choice or get his son
made a minister. It is
said that Yeddyurappa
is sacrificing his son
only to keep ‘alive’ CM
‘nominated’ bi him.
But it won’t last long.
Yeddiurappa will real-
ly take some big re-
sponsibility in the par-
ty for his son before the
next assembly elec-
tions. If his son is not
made a minister, then
he would like to inter-
fere more in the distri-
bution of assembly
tickets so that more
and more people can
get tickets. Yediyurap-
pa is laying his cards
by sensing the situa-
tion of a hung assem-
bly and therefore, the
assembly elections
next year are going to
be interesting.
Does BS Yediyurappa see a CM in his son?
FATHER PAVES THE WAY!
Srinagar (Agencies):
More than 100 Hindu
families have fled Kash-
miraspanicspreadafter
the killing of a Hindu
school teacher in the re-
gion, a community lead-
er said on Wednesday
.
Militants on Tuesday
shot dead Rajni Bala,
36, outside a govern-
ment school in Kulgam
that lies south of Srina-
gar - the latest in a spate
of targeted killings of
Hindus and Muslims.
Avtar Krishan Bhat,
president of a Hindu
Kashmiri Pandit colony
in Kashmir’s Baramul-
la, said that around half
of the 300 families liv-
ing in the area had fled
since Tuesday
.
“They were terrified
after yesterday’s kill-
ing. We will also leave
by tomorrow as we are
waiting for a govern-
ment response,” he
said. “We had asked the
government to relocate
us outside Kashmir.”
Residents said po-
lice had sealed off a
Hindu area in Srina-
gar and stepped up se-
curity around places
where Kashmiri Pan-
dit government em-
ployees live.
The local administra-
tion did not immediate-
ly respond to a request
for comment on fami-
lies fleeing, but the re-
gion’s top government
official, Lieutenant
Governor Manoj Sinha,
last month assured
Kashmiri Pandits that
measures would be tak-
en for their security
.
Some 2,50,000 Kash-
miri Pandits left the
Kashmir valley in 1989.

the state.
Even though the
schools had opened last
year, there were restric-
tions on the number of
students and at no point
of time the entire

and they have been able
to do well in this front.
Oh it's great to be
back. It was tough for
two years to be staying
at home, when we
should have been at
our schools, said a
group of very young
students in the state
capital city, waiting for
classes to begin.
State Education Min-
ister V

“All said and done.

FMCG cos
report volume
dip in Jan-Mar
FMCG industry saw
decline in volume in
the Jan-March period
as consumption was
impacted by price
increases, especial-
ly in the food and
essentials categories.
Rural India wit-
nessed 5.3% dip in
volume. This is the
highest consumption
slowdown in the last
three quarters. Be-
sides, there was an
increase in the exit of
small manufacturers
in the FMCG sector
due to high input
cost pressures, as
they were not able to
pass on the costs to
consumers.

New Delhi (Agen-

electric vehicle race,
Volkswagen’s chief

India’s petrol and
diesel sales soared in
May on the back of
a surge in summer
travel to escape from
the heat and vacation
during annual breaks
at educational insti-
tutions, preliminary

on Wednesday. Petrol
sales by state-owned
fuel retailers, which
control roughly 90%

last year when a
devastating second

India has urged
multi-national com-

the next two-three
decades, a top gov-
ernment official said
on Wednesday. Sec-
retary in the DPIIT
Anurag Jain said he
asked for this during

rose to 1,34,222 units, as against 35,293 units in May
2021, it added. “The sales figures of May 2022 are not

due to COVID-19 related disruptions,” the automaker
stated. Sales of mini cars, comprising Alto and S-Pres-
so, stood at 17,408 units last month. It stood at 4,760

A spokesperson said
the move is in line with
Atmanirbhar Bharat

oration with Plastic
Legno’s deep experi-
ence in world-
class toy
m a n u f a c -
turing cou-
pled with our

GOVT COLLECTS ` 1.41 LAKH CR GST IN MAY
New Delhi (PTI): GST
revenues bucked the
two-month rising trend
in May and stood at
nearly `1.41 lakh crore,
registering a year-on-
year increase of 44%.
Although the May
Goods and Services
Tax (GST) revenues
came in lower than the
record high collection
in April at `1.68 lakh
crore and `1.42 lakh
crore in March, it is
still the fourth highest
collection since the
rollout of the new indi-
rect tax regime on July
1, 2017.
In February, reve-
nues from taxing sale
of goods and services
was at `1.33 lakh crore,
while in January it was
`1,40,986 crore.
“The gross GST rev-
enue collected in the
month of May 2022 is
`1,40,885 crore of which
CGST is `25,036 crore,
SGST is `32,001 crore,
IGST is `73,345 crore
(including `37,469 crore
collected on import of
goods) and cess is
`10,502 crore (including
`931 crore collected on
import of goods),” the
Finance Ministry said
in a statement.
The revenues for the
month of May 2022 are
44% higher than the
GST revenues in the
same month last year at
`97,821 crore.
This is the fourth
time that the monthly
GST collection has
crossed the `1.40 lakh
crore mark since the
inception of GST and
the third straight
month since March
2022.
“The collection in
May, which pertains to
the returns for April --
the first month of the
financial year -- has al-
ways been less than
that in April, which
pertains to the returns
for March, the closing
of the financial year.
“However, it is en-
couraging to see that
even in the month of
May 2022, the gross
GST revenues have
crossed the `1.40 lakh
crore mark,” the Minis-
try said.
The total number of
e-way bills generated in
the month of April 2022
was 7.4 crore, which is
4% less than 7.7 crore
e-way bills generated in
the month of March
2022.
Deloitte India Part-
ner M S Mani said the
stability demonstrated
by GST collections ex-
ceeding `1.4 lakh crore
over the past three
months is a good indi-
cator of the growth of
the economy and ties in
with the other macroe-
conomic indicators in-
cluding the GDP num-
bers. “Significant ef-
forts in audits and ana-
lytics have also led to a
drive against tax evad-
ers, inculcating a tax
compliance culture,”
Mani said.
ICRA Chief Econo-
mist Aditi Nayar said
the high year-on-year
growth reflects the low
base of the second
wave.
“Nonetheless, the
May 2022 GST collec-
tions are robust com-
pared to the Q4 FY2022
trends, benefitting
from improved compli-
ance, market share
gains by the organised
sector as well as the
transmission of higher
commodity prices into
output prices,” Nayar
said.
Given the trends for
April-May 2022, and the
anticipation of a sus-
tained healthy momen-
tum of activity in ab-
sence of another wave
of COVID and major
disruptions, we expect
the CGST inflows in FY
2023 to exceed the
Budget Estimates level
by `1.15 trillion, help-
ing to absorb a part of
the higher subsidy bill.
IT IS THE FOURTH HIGHEST COLLECTION SINCE THE ROLLOUT OF THE NEW INDIRECT TAX REGIME ON JULY 1, 2017

day raised its mar-
ginal cost of funds-

at Delhi hospital
M Tariq Khan (Luc-
know): As the wait
for new UP BJP chief
gets longer, the pres-
ence of party MLC
Laxman Prasad
Acharya at the party
headquarters here
on Wednesday set off
fresh speculations as
to who would head
the ruling party in
the politically most
crucial state.
The occasion was
the press conference
of Chief Minister
Yogi Adityanath to
highlight the eight-
years of Modi Gov-
ernment under ‘Re-
port to Nation’ event.
The UP CM was
flanked by his two
deputy CM’s Keshav
Prasad Maurya and
Brajesh Pathak. Also
present was incum-
bent state party chief
Swatantra Dev Sin-
gh.
But the odd man,
whose presence on
the dais caught eve-
ryone’s attention was
senior party leader
Laxman Acharya.
Acharya presently is
not only the vice
president of the UP
BJP but also party’s
deputy leader in the
House. He was elect-
ed MLC in January,
2021 along with for-
mer bureaucrat-
turned politician and
PM Modi’s close aide
AK Sharma, now a
cabinet minister in

ty president Akhilesh
Yadav on Wednesday
visited his party law-
maker Azam Khan, who
is admitted to the Sir
Ganga Ram Hospital
here, sources said.
The two leaders chat-
ted for two hours amid
speculation of a rift.

election and the Rajya

ing to sources.
“I have no complaints
against him (Akhilesh
Yadav). I am not unhap-
py, I can’t afford to be
unhappy
. I am too small
to advise Akhilesh Ya-
dav,” Khan said at Del-
hi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hos-
pital where he was ad-
mitted for routine
check-ups.
He said he had no con-
tactwithAkhileshwhile
in prison, so the ques-
tion of a rift doesn’t
arise.
Khan was admitted to
the Medicine Depart-
ment of the facility on
Sunday for a routine
medical check-up. “Akh-
ilesh Yadav visited the
hospital and met Azam
Khan who is admitted at
the facility,” a hospital
source said.
The condition of
Khan is “perfectly sta-
ble”, hospital sources
had said on Tuesday
.
Khan was released from
Sitapur Jail in Uttar
Pradesh on May 20, a
day after the Supreme
Court granted him in-
terim bail in a cheating
case.

BJP national executive
meeting in TRS bastion
New Delhi (ANI):
Keeping the upcoming
elections of Himachal
Pradesh and Gujarat in
mind the Bharatiya Ja-
nata Party (BJP) will
hold its national execu-
tive meeting in Hy-
derabad on July 2 and 3.
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi, Home Minis-
ter Amit Shah, party
president JP Nadda,
Defence Minister Ra-
jnath Singh and a host
of other members of
the BJP national execu-
tive will be participat-
ing in the two-day-long
meeting.
This meeting which
takes place every quar-
ter is taking place after
a long time because of
the COVID-19 restric-
tions in place.
The last meeting of
the BJP national execu-
tive took place in New
Delhi in November 2021
just before the elections
in five states including
Uttar Pradesh, where
BJP registered a thump-
ing victory in early 2022.
Several important
discussions including
how the party is looking
to fare in the upcoming
elections and the
growth of the organisa-
tion, a role that a party
sees for itself as a build-
up to the 2024 general
elections are likely to be
on the agenda.
In this meeting, the
party passes political as
well as economic reso-
lutions lauding the
work that has been done
at the Centre by the
Narendra Modi-led gov-
ernment.
Recently, the Naren-
dra Modi-led Central
government has com-
pleted eight years in of-
fice with 2019 being a
big win over the 2014
general elections.
The choice of the
venue for the national
executive meeting is an
extremely important as
well as significant one
with the kind of push
that the BJP has been
making towards the
state of Telangana.
Recently at a public
meeting which was held
in Telangana, PM Modi
spoke about the bright
prospects of his party
in the state and con-
demned the dynasty
rule of the KCR family

dent Sharjeel Imam’s
plea for release in a sedi-

delivering an inflamma-
tory speech and inciting
violence during the
CAA-NRC protests in
2019. Justice Anoop Ku-
mar Mendiratta de-
ferred consideration on
Imam’s claim for inter-
im bail on account of the
Supreme Court putting
in abeyance section
124A (sedition) of the
IPC and said that any
finding concerning the
speech in question
would have an impact on
other FIRs arising from
it and therefore an elabo-
rate hearing would have
to be held.
“Considering the facts
and circumstances and
since apart from section
124A IPC, the prosecu-
tion has also invoked
section 153, a detailed
hearing would be re-
quired,” stated the
