TMC DEPLOYS TOP
GUNS IN GOA
On the brink of the result of
the 2022 Assembly election,
the Congress top leadership
has started to implement
its post-poll strategies and
has opened backchannels
for post-poll alliances with
like-minded parties. In UP,
Congress general secretary
Priyanka Gandhi herself is
holding the fort.
India is a critical ally of the US and it would be “extraor-
dinarily foolhardy” to impose any sanctions on New Delhi
under the punitive CAATSA law for its purchase of the
S-400 missile defence system from Russia, said a top
Republican Senator. The US administration is required
under law to impose sanctions on any country that has
significant transactions with Iran, North Korea or Russia.
Sainikesh Ravichandran, a 21-year-old student from Co-
imbatore district in Tamil Nadu has joined the paramilitary
forces in Ukraine to fight against Russia. Officials visited
his residence and inquired his parents about it. They
discovered that he had applied to join the Indian Army but
was rejected. In 2018, Sainikesh went to Ukraine to study
at the National Aerospace University in Kharkiv.
Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs of Ukraine Dmytro
Kuleba said Russia holds
300,000 civilians hostage
in Ukraine’s besieged city
of Mariupol and a child has
died from dehydration in
Mariupol after spending
several days with no water.
Dmytro also accused Rus-
sia of violating the ceasefire
agreements and shelling
humanitarian corridor.
A claim to that actors
are being used to act out
scenes from an attack to
prove that the war is a
hoax is in the form of a
video circulating showing
a young man having fake
blood applied. The video is
from Ukrainian TV series
‘Contamin’ in 2020.
Ukraine’s Ministry of
Culture and Information
Policy has said 18 people
including two children were
killed after Russia allegedly
dropped 500-kg bombs
on residential buildings
in Sumy city. The Minis-
try tweeted, “Last night
Russian pilots dropped
500-kilogram bombs on
residential buildings. 18
civilian died in attack”.

With the Goa Assembly poll
results out on March 10, the
Trinamool Congress (TMC)
is staying on its toes. As per
sources, the TMC has al-
ready deployed its top guns
to secure its candidates who
might emerge victorious and
to review any proposal of
alliance that might come
from Congress.

IS RAJE BACK IN
MAINSTREAM..?
With former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje turning 69 on Tuesday, her
political relevance for BJP is emphasised yet again as 10 MPs, 34 BJP
MLAs, 3 Independent MLAs and more than 100 former MLAs along with
a massive crowd throng to wish and bless her at Keshoraipatan!
WISHES POUR IN
Madam’s celebration
in Keshoraipatan
was a grand affair and
observers claim that
such a ‘magnificent
happening’ was seen
after a long time. A
huge crowd gathered
to congratulate madam
on her birthday and
interestingly, people have
different assessments
about the crowd. While
former state president
Ashok Parnami claimed
that there were around
1.5 lakh people, the
independent assessment
was of a crowd of about
50 to 60 thousand
people. Overall, the
show of strength was
successful.

Jaipur: The Opposition
on Tuesday slammed
the government in the
Assembly on the issue
of increasing cases of
rapes in Rajasthan.
Leader of Opposition
Gulab Chand Ka-
taria questioned
the conviction
rate is low.
In response
to Kataria’s
question, Parlia-
mentary Affairs
Minister Shanti Dhari-
wal said that in three-
year period from Janu-
ary 2019 to January
2022, about 5,793 cases
of rape on minor girls
have been registered. In
such a situation, 5 girls
are raped every day
. To-
tal 6,628 accused were
arrested for raping mi-
nor girls. In 129 cases,
398 accused convicted.
Kataria questioned
the minister’s reply
and said that despite
having more than 50
courts of POCSO Act
in the state,
only 129 accused
convicted so far.
“The main reason for
this is the pornograph-
ic content present on
social media, which is
served unabated,” he
said. He also admits
that the number of
POCSO courts is need-
ed to be increased to up
the conviction rate in
such crimes.
Dhariwal said Public
Safety Bill has been
prepared and if this
bill is passed, then it
will be mandatory to
install CCTV cameras
in the notified areas.

First India Bureau
Jaipur: A massive fire
broke out in the office
of DCP Traffic in
Jaipur on Tuesday
. The
flames were so strong
that within minutes the
office was gutted. For-
tunately, DCP Shweta
Dhankhar was not pre-
sent in the office at the
time incident. She had
gone out to participate
in a program on Inter-
national Women’s Day.
Two fire brigades
reached the spot, and
got control of the fire in
half an hour.
The reason for the ac-
cident is said to be a
short circuit in the elec-
trical wires. The head-
quarters of the traffic
police is in Yadgar at
Ajmeri Gate in Jaipur.
Here is the DCP
traffic office on the
first floor. The office
door was closed at

Joshi: Water policy should be practical
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Water Supply
Minister Mahesh Joshi
has announced to sim-
plify the policy of pro-
viding water connec-
tions in flats and colo-
nies on agricultural
land across the state.
Joshi said that earlier a
policy was made for wa-
ter connection but it
failed. I have told the of-
ficers of the department
that the policy should be
made practical so that
everyone gets water.
Joshi announced to
create a Pink Division
in every division, where
the entire staff will be
only women. “A division
office in the Additional
Chief Engineer’s office
at the divisional head-
quarters would be made
Pink Division,” he said.
Joshi said that the va-
cant posts of water sup-
ply department will be
filled. The recruitment
process of AEN is going
on and will finish by
July
. He said that an in-
quiry will be conducted
into the closure of the
RO plant and action will
be taken wherever the
company is at fault.
Speaking about the
progress of the Jal Jee-
van Mission, Joshi said
5000 new connections
are given every day
.
Joshi took a dig at
BJP MLAs for not con-
gratulating former CM
Vasundhara Raje on
her birthday
. “Not a sin-
gle male BJP MLA con-
gratulated her. This
shows the anti-women
thinking of the BJP
,” he
said. Meanwhile, there
was a heated exchange
of words between depu-
ty leader of opposition

I DIDN’T GET ANY
SUPPORT FROM
GOVT: STUDENT
Dholpur : Vidushi Shivhare,
an MBBS student study-
ing in Kharkiv, Ukraine, has
returned home safely. She al-
leges that she did not get any
help from the government,
nor did she get any kind of
morale boost. Whatever she
did, she did it on her own.
Shivhare, fourth year MBBS
students alleges that she
shudders while remembering
what kind of painful journey
she undertook from from
Feb 28 to March 7 to return
home. She said she gave
money where money worked,
got beating and suffered all
kinds of tortures, starved for
three days for reaching Libib
from Kharkiv and then cross-
ing the Hungarian border.

he CSS, being the most criti-
cal supporting tier of the gov-
ernment, it goes without say-
ing that the deserves con-
stant grooming and its offic-
ers better career opportuni-
ties. However CS-1 division
in DoP&T which is Cadre
Controlling Authority of CSS
is alleged to have never seri-
ously looked into the cadre
issues of CSS officers. The
prime reason is the Director
level post at the CS-1 division
being manned by non-CSS of-
ficers for many years who
does not understand the in-
tricacy of issues of CSS and
its repercussions in the func-
tioning of Central Govern-
ment. Many times it is due to
the wrong advice of Director
CS-1 to the senior level offic-
ers of DoP&T, which leads to
the avoidable delay in solving
even the minor issues.
At present, CSS is facing
acute stagnation due to the
stoppage of promotions in
each grade. Regular promo-
tion orders in CSS were last
issued in December 2015 and
since then CS-1 division is
continuously taking the
stand that promotions in CSS
can’t be done just because of
the pendency of the ‘reserva-
tion in promotion’ case in
Apex Court.
However, even after the
clear judgment of Apex
Court in the above matter,
and instructions of Hon’ble
MoS to senior officers, no ac-
tion was taken by the CS-1
division with regard to regu-
lar promotions in CSS. It is
also ironic that even during
the pendency of reservation
in promotion matter in the
Court, DoP&T in mid-2018 is-
sued instructions to all Cadre
Controlling Authorities to go
ahead with promotions sub-
ject to the outcome of the
court case, and in all other
services regular promotions
are going on except in CSS.
Further, while regular pro-
motions were halted by
DoP&T, agitations were made
by CSS Forum, due to which,
DoP&T resorted to ad-hoc
promotions and in December
2018 mass promotions
were done on an ad-hoc
basis. In, 2020, DoP&T
again stopped ad-hoc pro-
motions. Then after much
pressure from the CSS fo-
rum, DoP&T took advice
from the Attorney General
of India and started pro-
motion again. Now in 2021,
a contempt petition was
filed in Apex Court for the
promotions made in DS to
Director grade in CSS.
Though no directions were
issued in the impugned peti-
tion, only on the apprehen-
sion of contempt, DoP&T of-
ficers stalled even the adhoc
promotions in CSS despite
the fact that adhoc promo-
tion is a temporary provision
and no officer can claim ad-
hoc post as his right.
The moot question here is
whether an eligible officer
can be denied promotion cit-
ing the reason of pendency of
any case in Court. Stagnation
in CSS can be understood
from the fact that Direct Re-
cruit Assistant Section Offic-
ers of 2012 batch are yet to be
promoted to the post of Sec-
tion Officer and Under Secre-
tary of 2011 batch are yet to
be promoted to Deputy Secre-
tary grade while eligibility
from the US to DS is only 5
years of service in US grade.
Second, the long-pending
issue of CSS is an extension
of all benefits of Organised
Group ‘A’ Service. It has been
a fact that CSS is the earliest
organized Group ‘A’ service
in the country. Same has
been established in DoP&T’s
Cadre Review Division note
dated 19th March 2018 (CR
Division is the Nodal Depart-
ment for deciding the status
of any service as Organised
Group A Service). Further, in
a reply to Lok Sabha uns-
tarred question no. 3744,
DoP&T has stated that one of
the benefits of organized
Group –A service i.e. Non-
Functional Upgrade (NFU)
can not be acceded to CSS
since there has been a status
quo on grant of NFU to any
service by the Ministry of
Finance since July 2016.
However, even after 2016,
DOP&T has agreed to grant
NFU to many other services
i.e. CAPFs, Indian Railway
Management Services, Indi-
an Naval Material Manage-
ment Service.
It is surprising that when a
service can rise to the levels
of Secretary to Government
of India on a functional basis
why pay upgradation can not
be given on a nonfunctional
basis especially when such
facilities are available to oth-
er similar services which are
participating in Central
Staffing Scheme.
Further, the CS-1 division,
DoP&T, has issued orders re-
stricting CSS officers to go
on deputation even in Cen-
tral Government till 9 years
of service in Cadre. However,
DoP&T’s own guidelines
which are applicable to all
other Central Government
officers do not put any such
restrictions. On seeing the
noting of file on this issue
which has been accessed by
CSS forum through RTI, it
seems that this issue is un-
necessarily being delayed by
DOP&T officers without any
reason.
Also, there has been a de-
mand by CSS Forum to offi-
cially announce 1st October
as CSS day since CSS Rules
were first notified on 1st Octo-
ber 1962. There has been a
practice in Central Govern-
ment to celebrate different
service days to boost the mo-
rale of officers and highlight
the importance of different
services. Civil Services Day
,
Indian Defence Account
Service Day, Audit day,
AFHQ day are being cele-
brated by different Cadre
Controlling Authorities
however DoP&T has been
reluctant on even official
announcementof CSSday
.
There are many issues
in different grades which
have plagued an other-
wise prestigious service.
Recently, CSS Forum has
made several representa-
tions to seniors level officers
of DoP&T. In the months of
September and October 2021,
the Additional Secretary of
DoP&T held meetings with
CSS Forum to look into the
issues of CSS. However, the
process was stalled from No-
vember when she got the
charge of Establishment Of-
ficer, and she could not give
much time for meetings.
However, even after her in-
structions, her subordinate
Joint Secretary did not give
time for monthly meetings.
Aggrieved with such a sit-
uation, CSS officers started a
relaytwittercampaignwhich
led to the Minister initiating
a meeting with the CSS fo-
rum and assuring them of
full cooperating in attending
to their problems. However,
even after 20 days, DoP&T Of-
ficers took no action which
ignited frustration among of-
ficers of CSS who have been
constantly working for im-
provement in Central Gov-
ernment functioning even
after being denied promo-
tions for years by DoP&T.
This further inaction by
the CS-1 division and senior
officers of DoP&T left CSS of-
ficers with no other option
but to meet the Minister in
charge. As per media reports,
on 25th Feb, when CSS offic-
ers gathered to meet Minis-
ter Dr. Jitendra Singh, the
minister was not available in
his office. His PS, after hav-
ing a discussion with the
Minister, assured the CSS
Forum that the Minister is
very positive on their issues
and has instructed Secretary
,
DoP&T to immediately look
into the issues of CSS offic-
ers and issue promotion or-
ders by 10th March.
So the CSS officers are now
keeping their fingers crossed
and hoping for the best and
preparing for the worst.

Sena’s Aaditya Thackeray’s
close aide raided by I-T dept
Mumbai (PTI): The
Shiv Sena on Tuesday
accused the Centre of
selectively targeting op-
position-ruled Bengal
and Maharashtra, after
the Income Tax Depart-
ment conducted a series
of raids of people linked
to state ministers Aadi-
tya Thackeray and Anil
Parab.Accusingthegov-
ernment of misusing
the Central agencies,
Thackeray said this
“happened in Bengal,
Andhra Pradesh and
nowif electionsaretobe
held in Maharashtra, it
is happening here too”.
Sources said raids
were conducted today at
the home of Shiv Sena
office-bearer and Shirdi
Trust member Rahul
Kanal, who is consid-
ered close to Maharash-
tra Minister Aaditya
Thackeray. Locations
liked to cable operator
Sadanand Kadam and
Bajrang Kharmate
were also subjected to
search and seizure op-
eration, sources said.
Sadanand Kadam
and Bajrang Kharmate
are allegedly linked to
Shiv Sena Minister
Anil Parab.
Linking the raids to
the approaching elec-
tions at the Mumbai
civic body Brihanmum-
bai Corporation — the
richest in the country
— senior Shiv Sena
leader Sanjay Raut
said, “Till the BMC elec-
tions are not held, every
ward of Mumbai will be
raided. Now the IT De-
partment is now left
with only this work”.
“Why are people be-
ing targeted only in Ma-
harashtra and West
Bengal? Only Shiv Sena
and Trinamool Con-
gress are being raided.
The government is do-
ing this to create pres-
sure so that the state
governments can be
toppled,” Raut said.
Most of the raids, he
said, are happening in
Maharashtra. “There
have been raids on 14
prominent people in
Maharashtra, seven
more in West Bengal.
There is no action
against BJP people.
Are they begging on
the streets?” Raut de-
manded.
The Sena, he said, has
sent 50 names to Income
Tax Department and the
Enforcement Directo-
rate, but “no action is
being taken even at the
behest of an MP”.
The Central agencies
have been misused in
the past too. It hap-
pened in West Bengal, Andhra
Pradesh and now it’s happen-
ing in Maharashtra. Maha-
rashtra will not bow down.

RAUT SAYS CENTRE
USING TACTICS TO
DESTABILISE MVA
Mumbai (ANI): Following
Income Tax Department
raids on premises of
close aides of Shiv Sena
leaders, Rajya Sabha
MP Sanjay Raut on
Tuesday said that central
agencies are targeting
select people from states
like West Bengal and
Maharashtra. He said the
raids are tactics to “pres-
surise and destabilise”
the Maha Vikas Aghadi
(MVA) government in
Maharashtra. Briefing
mediapersons, Raut said,
“Why are central agen-
cies targetting a selected
few from states like West
Bengal and Maharashtra.
Do not they get anybody
else from other states?
It is a tactic to pressurise
and destabilise MVA
government.”
33% quota for women in
govt jobs: Shah in Tripura
Agartala (ANI): On
the occasion of Interna-
tional Women’s Day
, Un-
ion Home Minister
Amit Shah on Tuesday
announced that 33 per
cent of government
jobs in Tripura would
be reserved for women.
“33 per cent reserva-
tion in jobs in Tripura
administration is going
to be reserved for wom-
en”, said Shah. He was
addressing a public
rally in Agartala on the
completion of four
years of the BJP gov-
ernment in Tripura.
Attacking the previ-
ous CPI-M government
in Tripura, Shah said
that Chief Minister Bi-
plab Deb has put a com-
plete stop to political
killings in the state
while the previous CPI-
M government played
Holi with Opposition’s
blood during their rule.
“Wherever there is
Communist govern-
ment, Holi is played
with the blood of politi-
cal opponents. But I can
proudly say that our
Chief Minister Biplab
Dev has put a complete
stop to the political kill-
ings in Tripura. I assure
you that in the last four
years we have taken
Tripura’s responsibili-
ty”, said Shah, adding
that more than 39 work-
ers of BJP and other
parties were killed.
He said, “Give BJP
one more chance after it
completes its tenure, we
will make Tripura the
number one state in the
country
.”
According to Shah,
CPI-M in Tripura ruled
for 25 years in the name
of poor but did nothing
for their upliftment.
He said, “For 25 years,
the communists ruled
here in the name of the
poor. But did nothing
for the poor.”

HIJAB ROW
Karnataka Cong
leader arrested
in Hyderabad
Bengaluru: The Kar-
nataka Police on Tues-
day arrested Congress
leader Mukarram Khan
in Hyderabad for mak-
ing a controversial
statement on hijab.
Khan had given pro-
vocative statements
during the protests on
the hijab row, which
had gone viral. In the
video, he had said that
those who oppose stu-
dents wearing hijab
will be ‘chopped to piec-
es’ and had urged the
government to permit
the hijab-wearing stu-
dents to attend classes
in Sedam city
.
A case was lodged in
the Sedam police sta-
tion on February 16
against him.
As soon as the case
was lodged, Khan went
into hiding and moved
bail petition in the
Kalaburagi District
Court. The police ar-
rested him in Hy-
derabad, but was later
admitted to a private
hospital because of his
his health condition.
The Hijab row, which
started as a protest by
six students of Udupi
Pre-University Girl’s
College, turned to be a
major crisis in the state
threatening law and or-
der situation.

New Delhi: Telangana
Chief Minister K Chan-
drashekhar Rao’s at-
tempt to form a federal
front has not been suc-
cessful. Chandrashek-
har Rao sat camping in
Delhi for two days but
did not meet any big
leader. It was later said
that he and his wife had
gone to Delhi for check-
up and treatment. The
question is, when he
came to Delhi for treat-
ment, what was the need
to put up his posters all
over Delhi? He used to
come to Delhi earlier
also but this time the
journey was perhaps for
a different purpose and
end. This time his party
hadputuppostersacross
Delhi.Raoevensatdown
to meet the leaders but
no one came. However,
BJP MP Subramanian
Swamy
, who is retiring
from Rajya Sabha, and
farmer leader Rakesh
Tikait met him.
After staying in Delhi
for two days, Chan-
drashekhar Rao went
on a tour of Jharkhand.
There he met Chief
Minister Hemant Sor-
en. What happened be-
tween the two was not
made public. But ac-
cording to informed
sources, there was dis-
cussion about forming
a front against the cen-
tral government. Many
states are angry with
the Center over the re-
duction in the powers
of the states and the de-
creasing share of the
states in the central
taxes. That is why the
Chief Minister of
Jharkhand is with Rao
on this issue but he is
not in favor of forming
any front without Con-
gress. As such, his gov-
ernment rests on the
support of 18 Congress
MLAs. Shiv Sena is say-
ing the same thing and
DMK has to say the
same thing. Therefore,
apart from opposing the
policies of the Center,
Rao is not going to get
much success in form-
ing a new front.

New Delhi: The Con-

for the assembly elec-

end and if the price of
petrol, diesel starts in-
creasing, it will protest.
This has been clearly
stated by the party
. The
party has said that if the
government increases
the price of oil, then
there will be a demon-
stration in the whole
country
. In view of the
height at which the
price of crude oil has
reached in the interna-
tional market, everyone
is sure that the retail
priceof oilwillincrease.
Even Rahul Gandhi
took a jibe and advised
the people of the coun-
try to get their tanks full
because the central gov-
ernment’s election
scheme is about to end.
Think,whyistheCon-
gress party not perform-
ing now? Are the prices
of petrol and diesel low
in the country right
now?Evennowtheprice
of petrol is around or
above Rs 90 per liter in
most of the states. In
some states, even now it
is close to a hundred ru-
pees a liter. The price of
diesel is also around 80
rupees a liter in almost
allthestates.Whatisthe
performance of Con-
gress regarding such a
high price? Did the Con-
gress protest when the
price of petrol reached
Rs 120 and diesel was be-
ingsoldformorethanRs
90 a liter? Last week, the
government increased
the price of a 19 kg LPG
cylinder by Rs 105, so
what did the Congress
do? The entire protest
and agitation of Con-
gress is also on Twitter.
Therefore, the future
‘movements’ will also
happen on Twitter and
Facebook itself!

New Delhi: Karnataka
Chief Minister Basa-
varaj S Bommai is wor-
riedabouthisChief Min-
isterial chair. It is being
said that whatever may
be the election results of
Uttar Pradesh and four
other states, there will
definitely be a change in
Karnataka. Although
there is talk of change in
one or two more states,
but Karnataka is more
talked about because the
BJP is doing new experi-
ments of Hindutva, in
which Basavaraj Bom-
mai’s place is not being
made. Informed leaders
say that the BJP needs a
face that polarizes votes
completely
. The BJP has
totakemaximumadvan-
tageof theongoinghijab
controversy in schools
and colleges.
Keep in mind that the
BJP came to power in
this southern state only
after the movement to
hoist the tricolor at the
Idgah ground. Uma
Bharti was arrested on
thepretextof trialinthe
same movement. She
wasdischargedfromthe
post of Chief Minister
of Madhya Pradesh.
However, it looks like
the hijab controversy or
some such new contro-
versy will continue till
the assembly elections
to be held in May next
year and therefore, a
face that can give maxi-
mum benefit to BJP is
being found.
Meanwhile, Bommai
claims that many Con-
gress and JD(S) leaders
will join the BJP. Al-
though it is not known
as to how many leaders
will switch sides, but by
mentioning them, Bom-
mai is trying to save
himself. On the other
hand BS Yediyurappa is
still roaming across the
state and claiming to
bring BJP back to power
next year. If BJP loses in
Uttar Pradesh, Yeddy-
urappa’s claim will have
a substantial base.

Regarding the exit poll
results for UP polls, CM
Gehlot said that today
the common man is be-
ing divided into religion
and caste. “These peo-
ple (BJP leaders) talk of
Congress-mukt Bharat,
but it can never happen.
Because Congress is set-
tled within the people of
the country,” Gehlot
said. “They have never
had faith in it in the
past, doesnot have today
or will ever have in fu-
ture,” Gehlot said.
CM said that there is
no place to do politics in
the name of religion in
democracy, but BJP in
engaged in politics in
the name of religion by
only instigating people,
which is not right. “Do-
ing politics in the name
of religion will divide
the country into Hindu,
Muslim, Sikh, Chris-
tian population. It is
one thing to come to
power by instigating
people in the name of
religion, but taking all
religions and classes
along is a different
thing and also a chal-
lenge,” Gehlot said.
