TICKETDISTRIBUTION
Former MP Sanjay
Yadav has leveled
allegations on former
Union Min Jitendra Singh
and claimed that Cong
party was confined to
Phool Bagh. “The party
has been mortgaged
here. Jitendra Singh
distributed tickets as per
his own will in Alwar
district,” he said. Many
questions were raised
regarding Sanjay Yadav
getting ticket in Behror as
Sanjay Yadav is a special
worker of former union
Minister Jitendra Singh.
It seems that BJP
may bring a massive
change in its candidature
on certain seats. Word in
saffron party is that
Manish Yadav may be
fielded from Shahpura,
Shikha Meel Barala from
Chomu and Prashant
Sharma can come into
fray from Amer. Further-
more, from either
Shahpura or Viratnagar,
the party can bet on Mali
candidate. Former IAS
OP Saini is a resident of
Shahpura. BJP can bet
on a leader like OP Saini.

Regarding the assembly
elections, both Congress
and BJPparties are facing
rebellion in the final stag-
es of ticket distribution.
Angered by the cancella-
tion of tickets, the leaders
have adopted the old for-
mula of defection and
raised the flag of rebel-
lion. Former Congress
MLA Darshan Singh and
Subhash Meel, candidate
from Khandela, have
now joined the BJPcamp.
It is believed that the
names of both of them
may be fielded in the
third list of BJP. Mean-
while, Cong’s Bari MLA
Girraj Singh Malinga
also met BJP leaders in
New Delhi on Wednes-
day. Malinga said that he
will join party only if BJP
gives ticket from Bari.
Girraj Malinga reached
Prahlad Joshi’s residence
in Delhi and said, “I will
join BJP only on assur-
ance of ticket. I rejected
offer of Rs 60 crore and
was given continuous as-
surance of ticket. And
nowtheyaretalkingabout
getting ticket in alliance.”
Baseri MLA Khiladi
Lal Bairwa has resigned
as the Chairman of SC ST
Commission on Wednes-
day as he is angry with
Congress due to denial of
ticket from Baseri. . How-
ever, he has cited the rea-
son for resignation as sup-
pressing the voice of the
SC category.
Meanwhile, former
MLAJaswant Singh Gur-
jar, who was the BJP can-
didate from Bari in the
2018 elections, also
jumped into the BSP
‘bandwagon’on Wednes-
day reportedly over not
being given the ticket.

Interestingly, Tiwari’s
name has been floated
suddenly in electoral for-

how did Tiwari’s name
come without application

Commission Chairman -

resigned from the All In-

sent his resignation to the

He has written a letter
toNationalPresidentMal-
likarjun Kharge saying
that the party is adopting a
discriminatory stance
against Scheduled Castes
in Rajasthan. “When I
raised the issue of atroci-
ties on Dalits, Chief Min-
ister Ashok Gehlot got
angry and my ticket was
canceled from Baseri. I
was among those MLAs
who participated in the
blockade with the govt
thrice. The instructions of
the high command were
made fun of in Jaipur. A
big rebellion took place in
Manesar on 25th Sept.
There has been a conspir-
acy to cut the ticket in the
name of ‘no one’s chair is
permanent’. I had op-
posed Dhariwal’s state-
ment in which he had said
who would be high com-
mand? The interests of
Dalits were not taken care
of in the party. My ticket
was cut off in favor of a

the reason behind the fire

‘MODI HAI TO MUMKIN HAI…’ UNTOLD STORIES OF PM MODI — PART 59
MODI'SMOSAIC
OFMILESTONES!
The narrators express their views on PM Narendra Modi’s uncanny ability
that turned a nondescript place into a land of opportunities, Modi’s call for
youth of the country to make India a world leader by following the path of
Swami Vivekananda, inauguration of the Smriti Van Memorial in Bhuj,
historic tribute to freedom fighter Shyamji Krishna and lots more...
e extensively toured Kutch
during a visit with Narendra
Modi way back in 1988. We
know that Narendrabhai has this
unique quality of picking up the small-
est things that clicks him.
It was during the trip that we had
also visited the White Rann. Casually
Narendrabhai had told us that this nat-
ural beauty is a unique place in the
world. It is a wonder of nature. This
should be spread across the world.And
now we all know how true he was!
The first Rann Utsav was a 3-day af-
fair during the winters, named Shardot-
sav, which now extends into an event of
more than 100 days and is attended by
thousands of people every year. Hun-
dreds of locals have hence got employ-
ment while catering to tourism.
It is Narendrabhai’s uncanny ability
that turned a nondescript place into a
land of opportunities. Modi ji talked to
the villagers and himself suggested to
open homestays in their homes. People
from 30-40 villages in the Kutch region
bought into the idea and started earning
from homestays. When the tent city
gets filled up, several tourists take up
the bhungas (traditional huts) as ac-
commodation and soak in the local cul-
ture more closely. Poor locals earn so
much in three months of the year during
the Rann Utsav season that it suffices
for them for the rest of the year.
Today Dhordo has been adjudged
among the world’s best tourism vil-
lages by the UN. The vision of Modi ji
has worked wonders.

etermined to realise the

organised ‘Vivekananda Yuva Vi-
kasYatra’from Becharaji in Gujarat
on September 11, 2012. This jour-
ney lasted for a month, culminating
in Pavagadh. Through this event,
Narendra Modi called upon the
youth of the country to make India
a world leader again by following
the path of Swami Vivekananda.
Swami ji had said, “I am seeing
with my eyes. Bharat Mata has once
again awakened,” Modi said.
September 11 was an auspicious
day as we celebrate the day as Digvi-
jay Day. On this day Swami ji had
givenhishistoricspeechattheParlia-
ment of Religions in Chicago (US),
introducing the greatness of the Hin-
du religion and culture to the world.
The highlight of the Vivekanan-
da Yuva Vikas Yatra was a 15-ft
imposing statue of Swami Vive-
kananda that became the face of the
whole campaign. Narendra Bhai
worked hard to make theYatra suc-
cessful by taking it to all corners of
Gujarat and making it the centre of
people’s life and culture.

Names of all those people who perished in the
quake have been inscribed in the memorial. The
state-of-the-art museum at the memorial also exhib-
its the situation in the town at the time of the quake
and how things changed drastically through initiating
and expediting development projects.
Just imagine what the situation was after the earth-
quake and look at the same place now. The place has
been developed so beautifully. For a large number of
children who had lost their lives in the catastrophe, a

Narendra Modi ji came here at that time. He heard
our pains and travails and started planning ways to
develop the area and make us self dependent. Kutch
was broken. Whatever we have today is due to Nar-
endra Bhai. He was only a party worker (karyakarta)
at that time. Yet he took the initiative and played a
pivotal role in the reconstruction of the region. After
he became the CM, he changed the whole landscape.

he historic Veeranjali Yatra in August 2003
was a tribute to freedom fighter Shyamji
Krishna Varma by Narendra Modi. Shyamji

kept safe in Geneva in a bank locker. He had wished
thathisashesbeimmersed

Even after 56 years of
India’s freedom, nobody
took cognizance of Shy-
amji’s ashes. Narendra
Modi as Chief Minister of
Gujarat went to Geneva
and brought back his ash-
es in 2003. Narendra
Modi then embarked on
over 2000 kilometreVeer-
anjali Yatra starting from
Mumbai to 17 districts of
Gujarat where people
paid their tributes to this
great freedom fighter.
Shyamji Krishna Var-
ma had established the
Indian Sociologist and
the Indian Home Rule
Society in London in
1905, through which he
helped India’s freedom
struggle. Modi ji himself
contacted the govern-
ment in that country, went
to Geneva and carried
back the urns with the
ashes himself, as a fitting
tribute to the stalwart of
India’s freedom struggle.
He carried out a mega
rally Veeranjali Yatra all
over Gujarat with Var-
ma’s ashes. Thousands of
people from all walks of
life stood on the roads
and paid their tributes by
offering flowers as the

Addressingapublicmeet-
ing in Mizoram’s Siaha
on Wednesday, Defence
Minister Rajnath Singh
said that the North East
has developed rapidly af-
ter Prime Minister Modi-
led National Democratic
Alliance (NDA) govern-
ment has come to power.
The Defence Minister
also took a jibe at the
Congress and said that
Delhi, Mizoram and the
North Eastern states were
not only far by distance
but were also distant
from the hearts of the
government during the
grand old party’s tenure.
Speaking to the gather-
ing on Wednesday, Ra-
jnath Singh said, “When
there was the Congress
rule in Delhi, Mizoram
and the North Eastern
states were not only far
by distance but they were
also distant from our
hearts. The North East
has developed rapidly af-
ter the Modi-led NDA
government came to
power.”
“I have been visiting
the North Eastern states
forthelast20years.There
had been a major problem
of connectivity in this
area. It was not easy to
reach the capitals of the
states in the North East.
There was no direct route.
Today every North East-
ern state has direct con-
nectivity with Delhi be-
cause every state has been
connected with an airport.
In 2014, there were 8 air-
ports and 1 waterway, in
the North East, now there
are 17 airports and 18 wa-
terways,” he said.
“I would like to thank
the organisers of this pro-
gramme for inviting me,”

Jaipur
Congress is preparing
ideological data of vot-
ers on the lines of Rash-
triya Swayamsevak
Sangh, which gave
strength to BJP in the as-
sembly elections. Con-
gress has asked its work-
ers to collect informa-
tion about voters on the
basis of society, religion
and voting behavior up
to the booth level. The
party has asked to col-
lect this information by
November 5 and send it
to the state war room. In
its form sent to the
workers, Congress has
said that the voters of
each booth should be
grouped into families
according to their house
numbers. The party told
its workers that this data
will play a role in vic-
tory in the coming elec-
tions. In fact, Congress
is working on a strategy
to keep its voting per-
centage as high as pos-
sible by focusing com-
pletely on its hard-core
voters in the elections.

SEPARATE INFO ON
ABSENTEE VOTERS
This scheme of Congress is like ‘Panna Pramukh’ of
BJP. Under this, Congress will prepare data consid-
ering 52,000 booths and 2,250 mandals created according
to the organizational structure of its party as units. Such
families will be specially identified in the voter list which are
of Congress ideology. The party will also focus on the votes
of such communities which are in favour of the Congress
candidate. The party will focus on taking such voters to the
booth to vote as much as possible.
Cong will make
caste census a
major election issue in
the Assembly and Lok
Sabha elections. Caste
census will be a major
issue in the Congress
campaign. Congress
leaders believe that
the upper castes have
been voting for BJP in
the last few elections,
hence the chances
of them coming back
to the Cong party are
less.
Cong has also
asked workers to
collect info about absen-
tee voters separately to
prevent fake voting. Ab-
sentee voter means the
voter who is not living in
the area, but their name
is registered in the voter
list. The information
about absentee voter
will be with Cong worker
sitting at the booth so
that they can stop the
casting of fake votes.

Addressing a rally in Al-
war, Chief Minister of
Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adi-
tyanath while attacking
Congress, said, “Sardar
Patel made Kashmir an
integral part of India, but
Congress leader Jawaha-
rlal Nehru created prob-
lems here too, due to
which terrorism spread.
After this, when the BJP
government came, Prime
Minister Narendra Modi
and Home Minister Amit
Shah made Kashmir
problem-free. Steps were
taken to eradicate terror-
ism from there.”
CM Yogi also slammed
the Rajasthan Govern-
ment over the increasing
cases of crime against
women in the state.
“Remember if Congress
is successful then sisters
and daughters will be ex-
ploited due to Taliban
mentality” he alleged.
“Congress is the name
for every problem in the
country. Under PM
Modi’s leadership, the
problems are being
solved one by one.”
“When Modi and Yogi
came, the Ram temple is-
sue was resolved. The
double-engine govern-
ment of BJP solved the
problem,” he said, add-
ing that the double-en-
gine govts at the Centre
and BJP-ruled states are
implementing welfare
policies and bringing
about fast development.
He termed the Con-
gress govt in Rajasthan
as ‘anti-Hindu’ and ac-
cused it of harbouring
and protecting cow
smugglers and criminals.

recent rise in ac-
tivism in Iran
has added a new
chapter to the
country’s long-
standing history
of murals and
other public art. But as the senti-
ments being expressed in those
works have changed, the govern-
ment’s view of them has shifted,
too.
The ancient Persians, who lived
in what is now Iran, adorned their
palaces, temples and tombs with
intricate wall paintings, showcas-
ing scenes of royal court life, reli-
gious rituals and epic tales. Fol-
lowing the 1979 revolution and the
Iran-Iraq war, murals in Iran took
on a new significance and played
a crucial role in shaping the na-
tional narrative. These murals be-
came powerful visual representa-
tions of the ideals and values of the
Islamic Republic. They were used
to depict scenes of heroism, mar-
tyrdom and religious devotion,
aiming to inspire national unity
and pride among Iranians. Over
the centuries, these artworks came
to adorn many public spaces, in-
cluding the walls of mosques, uni-
versities and government build-
ings, becoming symbols of patriot-
ism and religious devotion.
After the Islamic Revolution
overthrew Shah Mohammad Reza
Pahlavi in 1979, murals began to
convey new political messages and
ideological propaganda. They cel-
ebrated the ideals of the Islamic
Revolution and showcased the
leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini
and other prominent figures of the
revolution.
Murals frequently depicted anti-
Western sentiments, condemning
foreign interference and imperial-
ism. They also highlighted the
concept of martyrdom and the im-
portance of defending the Islamic
Republic against external threats,
aiming to inspire national unity
and pride among Iranians.
In 2022, the Iranian morality
police arrested Mahsa (Jhina)
Amini for allegedly failing to wear
her hijab properly. After she died
in police custody, public protests
broke out across the country with
the slogan “Woman, Life, Free-
dom” – and led to a new round of
public art in Iran.
As a scholar of Iranian contem-
porary art, but more importantly as
someone who studies the develop-
ment of Iranian artists, I see their
renewed determination to promote
freedom as a cultural necessity in
Iran, even in the face of a govern-
ment crackdown.
STREET ART AS PROTEST
In the months following Amini’s
death, artists, activists, and, most
importantly, ordinary citizens
poured into the streets to claim the
public spaces and call for freedom.
Street art emerged as a powerful
medium through which individu-
als could address a wide array of
pressing social and political issues,
including women’s rights, freedom
of expression, political activism
and the desire for a life free from
the constraints of religious laws.
Graffiti artists, in particular,
played a vital role in expressing
dissent and resistance. Throughout
Iranian cities, evocative graffiti
murals have appeared, telling sto-
ries of struggle, liberation and the
indomitable spirit of the move-
ment through the past 45 years
since the 1979 revolution.
Watching the progression of the
Woman, Life, Freedom movement
and the distribution of art created
parallel to it, I noticed that artists
turned public spaces into platforms
for political messages, critiquing
policies, advocating social change
and promoting gender equality.
Sometimes even a dialogue
emerged on the walls between the
oppressed and the oppressor. Art-
ists depicted pictures of the killed
citizens, the activists detained, as
well as iconic images of the revo-
lution. The government erased or
painted over the graffiti, but pro-
testers came back with new im-
ages and messages.
Central to this movement is the
participation of both professional
artists and non-artist citizens, insti-
gating change and fostering con-
sciousness through powerful im-
agery created on the city walls. Or-
dinary people participate in chang-
ing the city’s visual landscape by
expressing themselves through art.
THE GOVERNMENT RESPONDS
The rise of protest art in Iran has
faced opposition from the govern-
ment, which viewed these forms of
expression as acts of defiance.
Government suppression tactics
in response to murals and expres-
sions of dissent have been alarm-
ingly severe. These tactics encom-
passed frequent physical removal
of murals that challenged the status
quo, aiming to silence the voices
of those speaking out against injus-
tice by detaining, kidnapping and
threatening the lives of their crea-
tors. In addition to this visual eras-
ure, authorities imprisoned artists
and other demonstrators for their
activism and imposed employment
restrictions as punitive measures.
Despite governmental opposi-
tion and legal challenges, artists
and activists persevered. They
have used art to voice their con-
cerns, challenge societal norms
and advocate for change.
