New Delhi: Launching
a scathing attack on the
opposition, Prime Min-
ister Narendra Modi on
Monday said that as-
sault on women was
very common during
the previous govern-
ments in Uttar Pradesh
but the Bharatiya Jana-
ta Party (BJP) govern-
ment restored the true
honourof womeninthe
state. Addressing a Jan
Chaupal rally for Bi-
jnore virtually
, PM
Modi said, “Earlier, mo-
lestation of women was
very common. The situ-
ation was so bad that
after incidents of chain
snatching people were
thankful that they were
still alive. CM Yogi Adi-
tyanath’s government
freed women from that
fear. We gave women
their true honour.”
Speaking about the law
and order situation in
the state, PM Modi stat-
ed that the criminals
who were put in jail by
Chief Minister Yogi
Adityanath were wait-
ing for the elections in
the hope that the gov-
ernmentcanbechanged
and they can come out
of prison.
“During CM Yogi’s ten-
ure, criminals them-
selves ran to jails and
demanded that they be
locked up. They have
been waiting for these
elections for years.
They have just one
hope, that the elections
come soon and there is
achangeof government
so that they can come
out of jail,” Modi said.
“They are hoping for
the old ‘mafia raj’ gov-
ernment to come back.
These criminals want
reimbursement from
the people of UP for
their dacoity and loot
business which is shut
for the last five years,”
PM Modi asserted.
“Our government is
making continuous ef-
forts to see that busi-
nessmen, industrial-
ists, farmers here get
all possible help,” he
said. —ANI

‘CONG INSTIGATED MIGRANT
LABOURERS TO BREACH LOCKDOWN’
“The Congress crossed the limit,” PM said. “During
the first wave, when we had lockdown, when WHO was
advising that ‘stay wherever you are’... the Congress at the
Mumbai railway station gave tickets to labours to go and spread
coronavirus,” he said, alleging this was “paap (sin)”

New Delhi: While re-
plying to the debate on
Motion of Thanks to
the President’s address
in Lok Sabha on Mon-
day, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi
launched a blistering
attack on the Congress,
saying that the grand
old party had ‘instigat-
ed’ migrant labourers
to breach lockdown
during the first wave of
the pandemic. He fur-
ther said that Congress
has lost countless elec-
tions but that has not
changed the party’s ego.
“During the first
wave of Covid, you
(Congress) gave free
train tickets to migrant
workers to leave Mum-
bai. At the same time,
the Delhi government
told migrant workers to
leave city and provided
them buses. As a result,
Covid spread rapidly in
Punjab, UP and Uttara-
khand,” he said.
New Delhi: Union
Home Minister Amit
Shah on Monday urged
All India Majlis-e-Itte-
hadul Muslimeen chief
Asaduddin Owaisi to
accept Z category secu-
rity offered by the Cen-
tre after a recent attack
on his convoy
.
“Two persons have
been arrested and po-
lice recovered a car and
two pistols. The forensic
team is probing the inci-
dent and the two men
are being questioned by
the Uttar Pradesh Po-
lice,” he said.
Shahfurthersaidthat
sinceOwaisihasrefused
to accept the security
cover, he requests the
AIMIM MP to accept the
security given to him by
the central government.
“He has been provid-
ed with Z category
CRPF security cover on
an all India basis along
with a bullet proof car
in Delhi,” Shah said.
During pandemic, the
country took a big deci-
sion to save small farm-
ers from difficulties. Peo-
ple who have hatred to-
wards small farmers,
have no right to do poli-
tics in name of farmers..
Narendra Modi, Prime Minister
PM: CONG LEADER OF
TUKDE TUKDE GANG
HANDLING INFLATION
PRIMARY AIM: MODI
OWAISI REFUSES
SECURITY, AGAIN
Calling Congress the
‘leader of the tukde tukde
gang’, Modi said, “Con-
gress attempted to hurt Ta-
mil sentiments…I want to
salute Tamil Nadu citizens
who lined the streets for
hours to pay tribute to CDS
Gen Bipin Rawat. Congress
policy is to “divide and
rule”. It has become leader
of ‘tukde tukde gang’.”
In five years of Congress
government, there was
double digit inflation in
country. The government
accepted the inflation was
out of contro. Congress
leaders were insensitive
towards inflation. Handling
inflation was our primary
aim. During they years
2014-2020, the inflation
rate was below 5 per cent.
AIMIM chief Asaduddin
Owaisi on Monday again
refused to accept Z cat-
egory security offered by
the Centre after a recent
attack on his convoy. “I
want to appeal to the Un-
ion home minister that
I don’t want Z security.
My life is not as precious
as that of those 22
people who died during
the CAA Protest in Uttar
Pradesh,” Owaisi said.
This came after Union
home minister Amit
Shah urged him to ac-
cept Z category security.

New Delhi: There is no information available
about the number of dead bodies found floating

regarding number of COVID-19 related dead bod-
ies estimated to have been dumped in the river
Ganga is not available.”
The Centre has decided to introduce a postal
stamp to honour singing legend Lata Mangeshkar.
Minister of Railways, Com-
munications and Electronics

of India, Ashwini Vaishnaw
said that the stamp would
be an appropriate honour
for the ‘Nightingale of India’.
The stamp will be released
as a commemorative

ties.

SLAP (BY NOT VOTING) THE ONES
SPREADING C-VAX RUMOURS: CM
Bijnore: Uttar Pradesh
Chief Minister Yogi
Adityanath on Monday
asked voters to give a
tight slap with their
votes to those who
spread rumors against
the COVID-19 vaccines,
identifying them with
Modi and BJP.
The Chief Minister
also reminded that the
previous Samajwadi
Party and Bahujan Sa-
majwadi Party led gov-
ernments had plunged
the state in darkness,
while the BJP dispensa-
tion ensured electricity
to each house in the last
five years.
“I appeal to everyone
that if 100 percent of
the people here are fully
vaccinated, it’s time to
give a tight slap with
your votes to those who
spread rumors against
the vaccines and called
them ‘Modi’ and ‘BJP’
vaccines,” the Chief
Minister said while
speaking at a Jan
Choupal rally in Bijnor.
CM Yogi Adityanath
further said that the
BJP government en-
sured electricity to eve-
ry house in Uttar
Pradesh.
The Chief Minister
also said that the SP
and BSP members
were used to living in
darkness.
The Chief Minister
also raised the issue of
law and order, contrast-
ing with the previous
dispensations, and re-
minded the people of
Muzaffarnagar riots.
“Do you remember dur-
ing the Muzaffarnagar
riots... a couple of boys
disappeared; one was
operating the riots in
Lucknow, and the other
was witnessing it from
Delhi. Where are they
now? Today, they know
the BJP can cool down
their tempers,” said the
Chief Minister in a
swipe aimed at the SP.

Minister Narendra
Modi also addressed the

Rajnath cautions people against
politics on caste, creed, religion
Bulandshahr: Senior
BJP leader and Union
Defence Minister Ra-
jnath Singh on Monday
urged the people of Ut-
tar Pradesh to keep
their distance from
those doing politics
based on caste, creed
and religion. He alleged
that Samajwadi Party
(SP), Bahujan Samaj
Party (BSP) and Con-
gress are indulging in
“politics of appease-
ment”.
Addressing a public
gathering in Si-
kandaraabaad in Bu-
landshahr Assembly
constituency, the De-
fence Minister said that
Bharatiya Janata Par-
ty’s (BJP) motto is “jus-
tice to all and appease-
ment of none”. The BJP
practices politics of
“justice and humani-
ty”, added the minister.
“You all should main-
tain distance from poli-
ticians who indulge in
politics of caste, creed
and religion. Such kind
of politics is done by SP,
BSP and Congress.
They have been do-
ing politics of appease-
ment. The BJP’s motto
is justice to all and ap-
peasement of none,”
Singh said.
He also said that
there should not be any
difference in the name
of Hindu or Muslim.
Singh asserted that “all
those who are involved
in wrongdoings get
equal punishment irre-
spective of their reli-
gion”.
“Our party will not
compromise on corrup-
tion. We are committed
to free the society with
the menace of corrup-
tion,” Singh said.
Further, he claimed
that unlike the politi-
cians of SP, BSP and the
Congress, “not a single
BJP leader in state or
Centre is facing charges
of corruption”
“We are committed to
development for the
welfare of society and
country,” Singh said.
Hitting out at the SP,
the Defence Minister
said that the Opposition
party is now “sinking”
as its leaders are roam-
ing with “lal potli (red
bundle filled with
grains)”, and “even the
‘lal potli’ cannot save
them from certain de-
featintheUttarPradesh
Assembly elections”.
Urging for votes in fa-
vour of the BJP, Singh
said that the upcoming
Assembly polls will
shape “fortune of Uttar
Pradesh”.
Lauding the achieve-
ments of Modi govern-
ment, Singh said, “The
government led by PM
Narendra Modiji has
succeeded in increasing
India’s prestige and
self-respect in the inter-
national world”. —ANI

VOUCHES FOR NEW UP IN NEW INDIA
Saharanpur: When
the Samajwadi Party
was in power in Uttar
Pradesh, electric lines
were used only to dry
clothes, and now, it is
going around promis-
ing 300 units of free
electricity to the people,
Deputy Chief Minister

Maurya was address-

favour of BJP candi-
date Kiratpal Singh

sembly seat in the dis-

In an apparent jibe at
the SP-RLD alliance,
the deputy chief minis-
ter said, “The alliance
which is claiming it will
win 400 seats in the
state will not even be
able to cross the 40-
mark.”
The Deputy Chief
Minister further
claimed that like 2017,
the BJP will form the
government in the state
by winning more than
300 seats in the assem-
bly elections.
Maurya said the BJP-
led government of the
state was giving oil,
pulses, salt and grains
to 15 crore poor people
because its slogan is

First India Bureau
Lucknow: The promise
of supply of free elec-
tricity to consumers be-
ing made by political
parties in UP assembly
polls has created a pi-
quant situation in the
Uttar Pradesh Power
Corporation Ltd (UP-
PCL) which is under
massive financial con-
straint.
The Samajwadi Party
has promised to provide
300 units of free power
to every household and
free supply to farmers
for irrigation, other par-
ties are also not lagging
behind in making al-
most identical promises
in the elections.
Irrespective of ex-
tremely bad financial
condition of UPPCL,
which is incurring daily
financial loss of Rs 80
crore, Aam Admi Party
had first announced to
provide 300 units free
electricity on the pat-
tern of Delhi, which
was later followed by
announcement by AICC
general secretary Pri-
yanka Gandhi, who said
“electricity bills would
be reduced by half and
payment of pandemic
period would be com-
pletely waived off”.
In view of the promis-
es being made by the all
the political parties the
top management of UP-
PCL made a presenta-
tionof thefinancialcon-
dition last week to the
chief secretary DS
Mishra, which indicat-
ed heavy losses to the
corporation.
Akhilesh Yadav said
promise of free electric-
ity supply would be part
of party’s poll manifes-
to. Before the declara-
tion of dates of UP elec-
tions and implementa-
tion of model code of
conduct last month, CM
Yogi Adityanath had an-
nounced to reduce the
electricity bills of farm-
ers by half. Since the SP
haspromisedfreepower
supply to farmers, it
learnt the BJP has also
planned to make similar
arrangement in its
“Sankalp Patra”, which
is likely to be released
before the state goes to
poll in first phase on
February 10. However
reacting to Yadav’s an-
nouncement Yogi said
“those who are talking
about free electricity
had kept the state in
dark during their re-
gime”.
The UPPCL has been
passing through acute
financial crisis. While
the monthly revenue
collection of the UPPCL
is Rs 4,098 crore, it has
been spending Rs 5,231
crore to purchase elec-
tricity to meet the con-
sumer demand in the
state. The average
monthly gap between
profit and loss is as high
as Rs 2,419 crore which
comes out to Rs 80 crore
per day

restrictions for the
past two years. Tour-
ism is one of the main
sources of income for a
large number of people
in the city as it is home
to three UNESCO heri-
tage sites-- Taj Mahal,
Agra Fort and Fateh-
pur Sikri. “It is sur-
prising that there was
not even a single men-
tion about the tourism
industry in this year’s
budget. Everybody
knows what is happen-
ing with the people as-
sociated with the in-
dustry. There is still no
reaction from leader-
ship in our state and it
is demoralising,” said
JP Singh, President, UP
Pariyatan Guide Asso-
ciation.
For the past two
years, associations
claimed they are re-
questing for the govern-
ment’s help, submitted
letters/representa-
tions, meeting minis-
ters but it all went in
vain. They are demand-
ing to waive off GST,
property tax for a spe-
cific period during
which tourism indus-
try suffered the most.
In India, there are
two categories of gov-
e r n m e n t - ap p rove d
guide i.e. central and
state. There are approx-
imately 1,100 govern-
ment recognised guides
throughout UP whereas
381 guides are rec-
ognised by the Central
government. Among
them, around 450
guides operate in Agra
alone.
The Centre recently
announced a policy of
giving loans worth Rs 1
lakh to guides.
“There has been no
mention of the tourism
industry, no mention of
packages. Loans can
never be a relief be-
cause if there is no
earning from where we
will pay back?” asked
Vishal Sharma, Secre-
tary, Agra Tourist Wel-
fare Chamber.
“Tourism industry
as a whole is barely
functioning because
tourism has plummet-
ed significantly,” he
said. —ANI

ahul Gandhi has fi-
nally bitten the Pun-
jab bullet. On a visit
to the state on Sun-
day, he declared the
incumbent Chief Minister
Charanjit Singh Channi as the
Congress party’s CM face for the
forthcoming Assembly elec-
tions. Before arriving at the de-
cision Congress was uncertain
of Navjot Singh Sidhu’s reac-
tion to the choice. The Punjab
Congress president was eyeing
the nomination for himself and
won’t take the snub lying down.

R
he UK govern-
ment recently an-
nounced a dra-
matic U-turn on
the COVID vac-
cine mandate for healthcare
workers, originally sched-
uled to take effect on April 1
2022. Health or social care
staff will no longer need to
provide proof of vaccination
to stay employed. The reason,
as health secretary Sajid
Javid made clear, is that “it is
no longer proportionate”.
There are several reasons
why it was the right decision
at this point to scrap the man-
date. Most notably, omicron
causes less severe disease
than other coronavirus vari-
ants; many healthcare work-
ers have already had the vi-
rus (potentially giving them
immunity equivalent to vac-
cine); vaccines are not as ef-
fective at preventing re-infec-
tion of omicron; and less re-
strictive alternatives are
available.
But the question remains:
what does this imply for vac-
cine mandates more gener-
ally? In a Twitter thread, for-
mer UK health secretary Jer-
emy Hunt has expressed
concerns that the U-turn will
make it harder to implement
vaccine mandates in future.
This might be true politically
,
but ethically
, it doesn’t follow.
The ethical principle that
justifies some forms of man-
datory vaccination of health
professionals remains: The
have a fundamental duty to
minimise risk of harm to pa-
tients. One reason provided
for U-turn is fear of critical
staff shortages. But that
would not necessarily apply
if staffing problems in NHS
are addressed. Ethical princi-
ples aren’t relative, but what
course of action they pre-
scribe depends on facts.
While U-turn on COVID vac-
cine mandate was ethically
justified, we shouldn’t rule
out mandates altogether.

T
AMILLIONASPIRANTS!
or the last three years, over a
million aspirants have taken
the Civil Services Examina-
tion (CSE) application form
from the Union Public Ser-
vice Commission (UPSC),
and about fifty percent of
them actually sat for the Pre-
liminary qualifying exam.
(Prelims) The vast drop in
numbers is on account of the
limitation on the number of
attempts, and if the prepara-
tion for the Prelims is not up
to the mark, aspirants avoid
taking the exam as it counts
as an attempt whereas filling
of the form is not. While the
general category can take up
to six attempts, aspirants
from the Other Backward
Castes (OBC) can take nine
attempts till they reach thir-
ty-five years of age and there
is no limit to the number of
attempts by Scheduled Caste
and Schedule Tribe candi-
dates till the age of thirty-
seven.
Of these half a million
candidates, just about ten
thousand qualify for the
‘mains’ exam. One fourth
will make it to the interview
stage, and of eight hundred
odd candidates who make it
to the final ‘merit list, less
than one fifth will be offered
a placement in the Indian Ad-
ministrative Service. Based
on their merit and prefer-
ence, candidates opt for the
two All India Services, the
IAS and the IPS, and sixteen
central services including
the Indian Foreign service,
and five group B civil servic-
es (Armed Forces Headquar-
ters Civilian Service, and the
Delhi and Puducherry Civil
and Police services). It may
bementionedthatthe‘mains’
for the third All India ser-
vice, the Indian Forest Ser-
vice is held separately, and
from 2022, the Railway ser-
vices have requested the
UPSC to conduct an examina-
tion for the two hundred odd
vacancies in all the Railway
services. In addition to all
the Group A services selected
through the CSE, officers of
the Forest and Economic Ser-
vice also come together for
the Foundation course which
is held at the LBS National
Academy of Administration.
The Foundation Course:
‘Sheelam Param Bhushan-
am’: Character is the Su-
preme embellishment
This is drawn from Bhar-
trhari Nitisaktam, and the
English translation of the
Shloka reads ‘Affluence is
adorned by goodness, valour
by not boasting, knowledge
by control of the senses,
scholarship by modesty,
wealth by giving to the de-
serving, tapas by the absence
of anger, power by forgive-
ness, and Dharma by truth.
Character is the Supreme
embellishment’
This point is driven home
to all those who enter the por-
tals of this institution as
prior to their selection, each
individual officer trainee has
put in several months, (in
some cases years) of hard
work, and their academic
merit, rigour and commit-
ment have been certified by
the UPSC. Many become lo-
cal celebrities as their ac-
complishment is feted by
families, friends, all educa-
tional institutions they stud-
ied in, and of course the
coaching centres. Their mug-
shots appear in advertise-
ments, and many get thou-
sands of followers on their
social media pages. They
have achieved a major mile-
stone, but is this an end in
itself, or a means to an end?
In this context, it is impor-
tant to drive home the points
in the above verse, especially
- non-boasting, modesty and
sharing- with emphasis on
‘character building.’ Nor-
mally, the course Team as
well as the Director of the
Academy refer to this dictum
in the inaugural program of
a Foundation course.
Officer Trainees are
briefed about the core values
of the Academy: Integrity,
Respect, Professionalism,
collaboration and last but not
the least, service to the un-
derprivileged. Integrity is
much more than financial
integrity – it includes cour-
age of conviction and speak-
ing Truth to Power. In the
context of Public Service,
‘Respect’ stands for embrac-
ing the diversity of language,
religion, caste, gender, age,
region, and socio-economic
status. ‘Professionalism’ is
the key element – for unless
civil servants master the stat-
ute, rules, and procedure,
they would cut a sorry figure.
The Academy also expects
that civil servants will seek
‘Partnerships’ and collabora-
tions with all the three tiers
of governance, civil society,
corporate, academia as well
as the legislative and judicial
arms of the government: the
ultimate objective being to
ensure inclusion- financial,
legal, academic, social, phys-
ical - for most underprivi-
leged persons.

Patna: There is abso-
lutely no coordination
between the four NDA
parties in Bihar, and on
the other hand, the har-
mony between Rashtri-
ya Janata Dal and Con-
gress is also deteriorat-
ing. Last year, both the
parties had fielded dif-
ferent candidates in the
by-elections to two as-
sembly seats. At the
same time the leaders of
boththepartieshadsaid
that the alliance was
broken and now both
will fight separately in
the next elections. But
preparations were made
to fight with both in the
Legislative Council elec-
tions to be held for 24
seats of the Legislative
Council. Initial talks
were also held between
the two parties. But now
both are opposing each
other and preparing to
fight separately
.
State Congress presi-
dent Madan Mohan Jha
has said that Congress
has no problem in con-
testing all the seats. In
fact, three or four addi-
tional seats were being
given to the Congress by
the RJD. In that too RJD
wastalkingaboutgiving
both the seat and the
candidateof theirchoice
which angered the Con-
gress leaders. The RJD
had given a seat of its
choice to the CPI. But
faced‘problem’ingiving
seat to Congress. The
party had already an-
nounced to contest 20
seats and also declared
candidates for most of
the seats. This has in-
creased the dispute be-
tween the two parties.
Elections to five Rajya
Sabha seats are also to
be held in the next two
months. There will be
morecontroversyatthat
time. Congress will de-
mand one seat. On the
other hand RJD has
been able to win two
seats only on the
strength of its MLAs.

Rishikesh-Karanprayag railway line is a big example of how the brakes on development were removed after the BJP came to power: Modi
New Delhi: Prime Min-
ister Narendra Modi on
Monday launched a
scathing attack on the
Congress,sayingthatthe
Oppositionpartyhadled
a ‘double-brake’ govern-
ment previ-
ously
. PM
Modi as-
s e r t e d
that the
p r ev i o u s
Congress dis-
pensation stalled devel-
opment works in Uttara-
khand.
“Rishikesh-Karan-
prayag railway line is a
big example of how the
brakes on development
were removed after the
BJP came to power. The
work on this project was
to be started a decade
ago. However, the pre-
cedinggovernmentonly
put brakes on it. From
2011 to 2014, they (Con-
gress) were ruling at the
Centre and State level,
putting in place a ‘dou-
ble-brake’government,”
Prime Minister said
while virtually address-
ing voters of Dehradun
and Haridwar during
‘Vijay Sankalp Sabha’
today ahead of Uttara-
khand Assembly polls.
Prime Minister fur-
ther said that the previ-
ous government in
about 3-4 years had only
spent Rs 4 crore on such
a big project, which has
enormous importance
for the state.
“In 2014, when you
gavemetheopportunity
to serve you at the Cen-
tre, we removed the
brake. We started work
ontheRishikesh-Karan-
prayag railway line. We
used to push the work
from Delhi, but brakes
were applied from Deh-
radun. In 2017, when Ut-
tarakhand got a double-
engine government,
thereafter Rs 5,500 crore
have been spent,” Prime
Minister said.
PM Modi also point-
ed out that the work on
the Delhi-Dehradun
highway had started
during the tenure of
former Prime Minister
Atal Bihari Vajpayee in
2000 when Uttara-
khand was carved out
of Uttar Pradesh.
“But Congress sub-
sequently left the work
languishing on the
grounds that the UP
government hadn’t
provided the necessary
clearances. But the fact
is that the Congress
headed government at
the Centre and its al-
lies were in power in
Lucknow. The project
was, however, complet-
ed when BJP’s double-
engine government
came to power at Cen-
tre and Dehradun,” PM
Modi said. —ANI

released the figures of
Bhagwant Mann and
Sidhu and said that
Mannwaslikedby93per
cent people and Sidhu by
3.6 per cent. In the Con-
gress poll, Sidhu is seen
getting double votes.
However, the Con-
gress high command
had already made up its
mind to announce
Channi's name. When
Rahul Gandhi an-
nounced to declare the
face of CM and the par-
ty started the survey,
the initial report was in
favor of Channi. That's
when the party decided
to field him from two
places so that the party
could take maximum
advantage of the bet
that the party had made
by making a Dalit, the
Chief Minister.
It is nonsense, what
AAP leaders are saying
that Channi was losing
from Chamkaur Sahib,
hence he has been field-
ed from Bhadaur seat as
well. Remember how
Narendra Modi, who
was contesting as the
primeministerialcandi-
date for the first time,
also contested from both
Gujarat and Uttar
Pradesh. He was not los-
ing anywhere, but he
fought from two places
to make the most of his
personality and charis-
ma. Similarly, the Con-
gress has waged a gam-
ble of consolidating the
entire 34 per cent Dalit
vote by fielding Channi
from one seat each in
Malwa and Doaba, both
the areas with the high-
est Dalit population.
Sidhu knew Channi will be the CM contender

CITING DEMOCRACY AT STAKE
2 BJP MLAs in
Tripura resign
from Assembly
Agartala: Two
MLAs from the rul-
ing BJP in Tripura
— Sudip Roy Barman
and Ashish Kumar
Saha — resigned
from the Assembly as
well as from the pri-
mary membership of
the party on Monday
saying democracy is
at stake in the state
under the BJP
.
Five-term MLA
Roy Barman, who
was dropped from
the post of health
minister in 2019, and
Saha submitted their
resignation papers to
Speaker Ratan
Chakraborty and
said they would end
the “conspiracy” to
suppress the voice of
the public under the
current regime.
Their resignation
comes months after
BJP MLA Ashish Ku-
mar Das left the par-
ty alleging misrule
and joined the Trina-
mool Congress.
Emerging from the
Assembly this after-
noon, Roy Barman
told reporters, “We
have heaved a sigh of
relief that we re-
signed, because this
government has mis-
erably failed to deliv-
er, live up to expecta-
tions. In this govern-
ment, only one man’s
voice is heard or his
orders are carried
out. No legislature,
no minister can exer-
cise their authority
or power. —PTI

Moni Sharma
New Delhi: The lead-
ers who went from Con-
gress to BJP after de-
fecting have started
‘learning’ lessons. A
strong lesson has been
learned in Manipur, the
impact of which will be
visible across the coun-
try
. In Manipur, 28 Con-
gress MLAs had won in
the last assembly elec-
tions, out of which 16
switched sides to the
BJP. This time in the as-
sembly elections, BJP
has given tickets to only
10 of them and as a re-
sult the six people
whose tickets have been
cut are getting restless.
Congress is also not giv-
ing them any value.
Keep in mind that in the
states where the gov-
ernment was formed
due to the defection of
the Congress and by-
elections were held on
the seats of the defect-
ing MLAs, the defecting
MLAs were taken care
of, but in other places it
did not happen.
This is the reason
that even in Goa, lead-
ers who left Congress
and joined BJP are re-
turning home. They
had already felt that
BJP would not give tick-
et, so they turned to
Congress or Trinamool
Congress. This has also
been proved from Ma-
nipur. Therefore, it is
not a mere coincidence
that in the states where
the Congress base is
still strong, the home-
coming of the defecting
MLAs and leaders has
started. An informed
Congress leader says
that the developments
in Manipur and Goa
have taught a lesson to
the Congress leaders
and they will think a
hundred times before
joining the BJP.
This is proof of the
lesson learned by the
Congress leaders that
many of them, from Ut-
tarakhand, have re-
turned ‘home’. Al-
though Kishor Upad-
hyay, a former party
president, went to the
BJP in the meantime
and the family of for-
mer Chief Minister Vi-
jay Bahuguna is still in
the BJP, but Harak Sin-
gh Rawat returned
home. Before Rawat,
Yashpal Arya also left
the ministerial post and
returned to the Con-
gress. Yashpal and his
MLA son both returned
to the Congress.
On the other hand, in
a big development in
Jharkhand, two former
Congress presidents
have returned back to
the party
.
Former state presi-
dent of Congress Sukh-
dev Bhagat had
switched to the BJP just
before the 2019 assem-
bly elections. In April-
May, he contested the
Lok Sabha elections
from the Congress but
switched to the BJP be-
fore the December as-
sembly elections. Sukh-
dev Bhagat, a former
Jharkhand Public Ser-
vice officer, is a strong
leader and his wife is
also the mayor of Lo-
hardaga.
Along with him, an-
other former president
Pradeep Balmuchu has
also returned to the
Congress. However, it is
possible that the big
faces of the party may
defect and achieve
something for them-
selves, but the way BJP
is cutting tickets, a
large number of Con-
gress MLAs and other
leaders have learned a
big lesson.
BJP’S LESSON TO CONGRESS LEADERS
New Delhi: The Centre
on Monday told the Su-
preme Court that Aad-
haar card is not manda-
tory for registration on
CoWIN portal for Cov-
id-19 vaccination.

posed of a plea filed by

New Delhi: The Nation-
al Investigation Agency
(NIA) on Monday filed a
caseagainstunderworld
don Dawood Ibrahim
and others under vari-
ous sections of the Un-
lawful Activities Pre-
vention Act.
Now the elite probe
agency will look into
the cases pertaining to
the D-company
.
Sources have con-
firmed that the Union
home ministry has giv-
en them approval to
start a thorough probe.
An NIA official told
IANS that the names of
Dawood Ibrahim and
his aides have been
mentioned in the FIR
filed by the NIA.
The official said for
quite a long time Da-
wood had been spread-
ing terror activities
across India. He has
also pumped money
through Hawala chan-
nels to financially help
those who are working
at his behest to create
unrest across India.
The agencies have
been keeping a close eye
on the activities of the
D-company and have
found that in the past
they have recruited peo-
ple across India to cre-
ate riot-like situations.
They are promoting
anti-national activities
and are also trying to
create rifts between dif-
ferent religious groups.
Earlier, a lot of in-
formation was shared
with us regarding the
involvement of Dawood
in a lot of anti-national
activities that took
place across In-
dia. He is re-
cruiting peo-
ple in India
and is finan-
cially and lo-
gistically help-
ing them to
create a
r i o t -
like situation. Different
social media platforms
are being used by them
to communicate. We in-
tercepted a few of them
and came to know that
a deep-rooted conspira-
cy was being hatched.
Now on the basis of the
materials we have
lodged an FIR against
Dawood and D-compa-
ny
, said the NIA official
wishing anonymity
.
NIA Public Relations
Officer Sanjukta only

It is expected from the

of the government are
acknowledged and the
country is made aware of
the challenges. Blueprint
of the future is presented.
It failed to do so, Sharma
said in Rajya Sabha. This
is not sarcasm but who-
ever wrote it, did injustice
to the President, he said.

The campaigning for the first

AKHILESH FOR
SEEKING
MAMATA’S
SUPPORT
BJP leader Smriti Irani on
Monday hit out at Akhilesh
Yadav, wondering why the
Samajwadi Party president was
seeking support of Trinamool
Congress supremo and West
Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee who
had “insulted” the people of Uttar
Pradesh. While addressing a poll
programme in Gautam Buddh
Nagar’s Jewar, the Union Minister
claimed Yadav’s reach out to
Banerjee was an indication that he
is “not getting people’s support on
his own strength”. Irani claimed
Yadav was seeking support from
Banerjee despite her insulting the
traditions, culture and food habits
of the people of Uttar Pradesh.
“I want to ask Akhilesh ji, what
has happened now that you want
support of those who had
forgotten the glorious past of this
state and openly insult the
residents of the state. What
compulsion do you have?” she
said. “But Akhilesh ji is definitely
giving indications that he is not
getting public support on his own
strength,” she added. Irani was
addressing a gathering in support
of BJP’s Jewar MLA Dhirendra
Singh, who is once again in the
fray from the seat for assembly
polls. The Lok Sabha MP from
Amethi said it was her good luck
that she has been elected to
parliament from Uttar Pradesh,
which has been not only known as
the land that has defined ‘sanskar,
sanskriti’ but is also the land
which is redefining development
in India’s politics. Quoting the
remarks of MLA Singh, she said
the BJP has accomplished in five

FARMERS AGAINST BJP INWESTUP
Lucknow: Even as
three days are left for
the first phase of the
seven-round UP Assem-
bly election, the Samy-
ukt Kisan Morcha
(SKM) along with
Bharatiya Kisan Union
(BKU) headed by Rake-
sh Tikait has given call
to farmers to “punish
BJP” in the poll. The
first phase of polling in
58 constituencies in
west UP will held on
February 10.
Launching “mission
UP” from Meerut the
farmers leaders as-
sailed the BJP of be-
traying the agriculture
community of not ful-
filling the promises
made at the time of
withdrawal of contro-
versial farm laws in
November 2021. Rakesh
Tikait criticised the
BJP for indulging in di-
visive politics in UP
and appealed to farm-
ers to question the BJP
candidates who visit
their villages for votes.
Tikait said the west UP
wanted to talk about
development and those
raising “Hindu, Mus-
lim, Jinnah would suf-
fer loss”. Tikait said
“Muzaffarnagar is not
stadium to play Hindu-
Muslim match”. He
said “Muzaffarnagar-
Kairana” model was
old and would not help
the BJP in the elections
as now people under-
stand the divisive poli-
tics. Thus instead of
polarisation the BKU
has been trying to turn
battle as “farmers ver-
sus BJP” in west UP.
Other SKM leaders Yo-
gendra Yadav, Hannan
Mollah, Dharmendra
Malik, and Pushpen-
dra, who launched
campaign against BJP
from Meerut on Sun-
day, said the central
government had cheat-
ed the farmers on issue
of constituting com-
mittee on Minimum
Support Price (MSP),
withdrawal of cases
against farmers during
one-year agitation,
compensation to fami-
lies of farmers who
died during stir, suffi-
cient power supply to
farmers at low tariff
and payment of sugar-
cane dues.
Yogendra Yadav said
“the BJP doesnot un-
derstand the language
of the Constitution, hu-
manity law, but only
of votes. That is why
the SKM has decided to
give them a reply in
their language”. The
Agriculture Minister
Narendra Singh Tomar
had told the Rajya Sab-
ha that committee on
MSP would be consti-
tuted after Assembly
elections in 5 states.

New Delhi: Stressing
that the Apna Dal (S)
stands for social justice,
Union minister Anupri-
ya Patel on Monday dis-
sociated her party from
Hindutvaandsaiditwas
ideologically different
from the BJP
.
Muslim candidates
are not untouchables for
her party
, the Apna Dal
(S) chief said three days
ahead of the first round
of the seven-phase UP
elections beginning on
February 10.
“Yes we are ideologi-
cally different from the
BJP
. People are trying to
askmequestionsonHin-
dutva and all those is-
sues, I dissociate myself
from all those issues and
my party doesn’t do reli-
gious politics. We stand
for social justice. That’s
our ideology
,” Patel said.
“ We have always
workedforthemarginal-
ised sections of society
,
whetheronthestreetsor
in parliament. And this
is our philosophy and
our founding principles
and we only stick to it,”
she added.
Apna Dal, which has
been BJP’s ally in the
lastthreeelectionsinUP
the2014and2019general
electionsandthe2017as-
sembly polls -- has an-
nounceditsfirstMuslim
candidate this time.
Haider Ali, the grand-
son of Congress veteran
Begum Noor Bano, was
the first candidate an-
nouncedbytheApnaDal
(S). He is contesting
againstseniorSamajwa-
di Party leader Azam
Khan’s son Abdullah
Azam Khan from Suar.
“I don’t know why ev-
erybody is looking at a
candidate from the per-
spective of religion. He
is a promising youth
who is well educated,”
Patel said.
Her party doesn’t look
at candidates from the
prism of religion, she
added in response to a
question on there not be-
ing a single Muslim can-
didatefromtheNDAlast

Muslim who won the

Muslims have been state

Muslims are not un-

look at candidates in
light of their religion,”
Patel.

Apna Dal (S) had always

BJP, RSS seek to raise youths
like herd of sheep with bands
on their eyes: Digvijay Singh
Lucknow: Senior
Congress leader Dig-
vijay Singh on Mon-
day accused the Nar-
endra Modi govern-
ment of trying to con-
vert India’s demo-
graphic dividends of
being a young country
into a demographic
disaster.
The former Mad-
hya Pradesh chief
minister made the al-
legation asserting
that the BJP and RSS
wish to raise youths
of the country like
herds of sheep with a
band on their eyes .
Singh hurled the
charges here at the UP
Congress Committee
headquarters while
releasing a booklet on
the issue of youth un-
employment. “We are
among the youngest
countries in the
world. But the Modi
government is trying
to convert this demo-
graphic dividend into
a demographic disas-
ter,” said Singh.
“The BJP and RSS
want to raise youths
of the country like
sheep by tying a band
on their eyes because
an educated, talent-
ed, job-seeking
youth, a youth think-
ing and questioning,
is the biggest threat
to the agenda of the
Sangh Parivar,” the
former MP CM al-
leged. He also accused
the BJP of seeking to
spread hatred and dis-
crimination among
youths. —PTI

Saharanpur: SP
chief Akhilesh Yadav
on Monday launched
a scathing attack on
the BJP, asking the
party to change its
name as he alleged its
leaders told lies,
cheated people and
pitted them against
each other.
“The bigger the
BJP leader, the bigger
the lies he or she
tells,” Yadav alleged.
The party should
change its name from
“Bhajpa” to “Bhajh-
pa”, he said, adding
that “jh” in its name
meant “jhansa”
(cheating), “jhagra”
(bickering) and
“jhooth” (lies).
“The party cheats
people, makes them
fight against each
other and its leaders
tell lies,” the former
UP CM said.
“They indulge in
the politics of accusa-
tions. The BJP wants
to take the elections
to somewhere else,”
he told reporters re-
ferring to the upcom-
ing Assembly polls.
He rejected the
charges that the mon-
ey recovered from a
Kanpur perfume sell-
er during a raid by
the Central agencies
had any links with
his party
.
“Nothing can be a
bigger lie than this.
People sitting at high
posts are telling lies,”
he said, apparently
referring to Union
Home Minister Amit
Shah,whohasrepeat-
edly linked the seized
amount with SP
.
Yadav also said
women are feeling in-
secure in UP under
theBJPrule.“TheNa-
tional Commission

“We have seen how

minister of state

farmers. The govern-
ment wants to shield
him.Thegovernment
wants to crush the
Constitution as it has
crushed farmers,” he
said.

Subhawati Shukla’s
husband had lost the
2018 by-election after
Yogi Adityanath re-
signed from the seat af-
ter he became CM. By
fielding Subhawati
Shukla, the SP is clearly
aiming at making a dent
in BJP votes since Upen-

a good following among

the SP feels, Subhawati
will get the backing of
Brahmin voters playing

hostility in the region.

or those who
swear by the
charisma of
fashion, any
discussion on
the topic is in-
c o m p l e t e
without the men-
tion of Mohit Falod.
This famous Jaipur
based designer’s
success story has
humble beginnings.
Today
, Mohit Falod is rec-
ognised as the man who rede-
fined the realm of fashion by
incorporating just the right
amount of boldness into eve-
ry design to make it stand
out from the crowd.
Being responsible
for the success
of some of the
most loved
a n d
ex-
clusive collections, Falod con-
tinues to rule the industry
with his very own fashion la-
bel.
Centred on the belief of cre-
ating unique styles that tend
to become a reflection of your
personality, every design sold
under the label of Mohit Fal-
od is a display of sheer crea-
tive brilliance.
For the past two and a half
decades, Falod has keenly fo-
cused on his handcrafted crea-
tions while maintaining their
lightness and focusing on the
ease of wear for brides
grooms on their special day.
Never compromising on the
garment’s movement and flu-
idity, he has found ways to
work with traditional and
modern techniques to fabri-
cate these veritable pieces of
art in motion.
Talking about his collec-
tion, Mohit said, “The regalia
collection is purely inspired
by nature and the Rajputana
array. We have experimented
with a wide range of jewels,
including polkas and semi-
precious stones. There has
been a beautiful utilisation of
real gold and silver gotas
and threads, semi-pre-
cious stones, polkis,
and turquoise with an inter-
play of fabrics.” He further
added, “I can’t be more excit-
ed for the grand show to be
held in Dubai. Each attire has
been meticulously made to
make one feel like a regal In-
dian bride. It’s an amalgama-
tion of history, nature, cus-
toms, and monarchy that
makes the person feel both
real and mystical.”
Falod has also dropped a
few hints through his recent
collaboration with Badshah
regarding how grand this col-
lection is going to
be!

As we celebrate
Propose Day today,
a perfect day for
singles to confess
their love to their
crush and to
propose with
fascinating flowers
and attractive
presents. It is also
special for couples
who, on a romantic
date, can take their
beloved and recall
the day and time
when their
romantic journey
began! City First
spoke to a few
lovebirds of every
age to know how
they plan on
making their
partners or ‘to be
better half’ feel
special!
I’m planning to pro-
pose to my girl with
a large bouquet of
red roses. We both share a
moment that involved red
roses and now it’s some-
thing a little more special
for us. I truly fall in love
with her each day. She is
wonderful and I can’t wait
to see the look on her face!

hat is love?
That’s a question
that we have all
grappled with
within our lives
at some point or
the other. It excites phi-
losophers, who dive into
its deep complexities
and hope to describe
our abstract longing for
a particular person.
Love has a powerful ef-
fect on us, one that we
cannot deny. If love
could be dictated or cho-
sen; if it could be con-
tained in a few words or
a mathematical equa-
tion, it would lose its
special place. And yet
we try. Our phones are
cluttered with numer-
ous dating apps and
their algorithms, all
trying to capture love.
But it is notoriously dif-
ficult to find.
As comes February,
people look forward to
Valentine’s Day with
anticipation. The day is
difficult to ignore, irre-
spective of whether you
are a romantic or a cyn-
ic. However, every day
of the week leading up
to Feb 14 also holds a lot
of significance. The
week starts on Febru-
ary 7 and ends on Febru-
ary 14. It starts with
Rose Day, followed by
Propose Day, Chocolate
Day
, Teddy Day
, Promise
Day, Hug Day, Kiss Day,
and culminates in Val-
entine’s Day.
Proposal Day is cele-
brated by lovers on Feb
8 every year. On this day
,
couples or budding lov-
ers express their feeling
and affection for each
other. Most of you have
been waiting for this
day to say your heart
out to your potential
boyfriend or girlfriend.
This day signifies prom-
ise and togetherness
and gives you a chance
to ask your partner for
their presence in your
life, forever.

Each day is special
when you are with
the right person. I
have been married to my
wife, Anita for more than
25 years. And it wouldn’t
be a lie if I say that I still
feel it’s our honeymoon pe-
riod. On this propose day,
I would cherish our old
times and proudly express
what she means to me.

I’m gonna propose
to my cursh through

He loves bikes and I have

motocycle themed and all
the gifts and games and
all that will be motocycle
themed as well. I hope he
understands how much he
means to me.

How beautiful will it
be to take Isha who I
adore a lot, on a ro-
mantic date. I’m planning
to take her to the beach.
I would love to propose
at such a lovely evening

brilliant colours, to cherish
the moment and kiss her
as the sunsets. A day worth
remembering.

On Propose Day I will
take my sweetheart
on a bike ride. We
will sit with our friends
near a camp fire and then
I will get on one knee and
propose to her! She won’t
even see it coming. It’s
going to be super cute and
I’m confident I’ll sweep her
off her feet! The day would
be so memorable.
