Thank you Gujarat. I
am overcome with a
lot of emotions seeing
the phenomenal elec-
tion results. People
blessed politics of de-
velopment and at the
same time expressed
a desire that they want
this momentum to
continue at a greater
pace. I bow to Guja-
rat’s Jan Shakti.
Narendra Modi
Prime Minister
People of Gujarat have
given an unprecedent-
ed mandate to the
party by rejecting those
who do politics of hol-
low promises, freebies
and appeasement. In
the last two decades,
under the leadership
of Modi ji, the BJP
broke all records of
development in Gujarat
and today the people
of Gujarat have blessed
the BJP and broken all
records of victory.
Amit Shah
Union Home Minister
Gujarat has set new
records of develop-
ment in the last two
decades under the
leadership of Modi ji
and today the people
of Gujarat have bless-
ed the BJP and cre-
ated a new record of
victory. Every section
has wholeheartedly
blessed the BJP. This
is the victory of peo-
ple’s unwavering faith
in BJP’s policies.
Jagat Prakash Nadda
BJP National President
Shimla: Congress’s late
surge during the cam-
paign for Himachal
Pradesh was successful
in keeping the BJP from
realising its ‘Mission
Repeat’ in the hill state,
with the party easing to
victory. The high turn-
out of women seems
have gone in favour of
the Congress, as there
was a lot of resentment
among the voters
against the ruling BJP
government over the is-
sues of rising prices of
essential commodities
like fuel and gas.
The fact that Con-
gress leader Priyanka
Gandhi with Chhattis-
garh CM & party’s state
in-charge Bhupesh
Baghel had campaigned
hard across the state.

Mahesh Sharma
Jaipur: The Congress
has not performed ex-
ceedingly well in Guja-
rat and political observ-
ers and party leaders
alike have now gone
back to the drawing
board to find out the
reason and the people
responsible for the par-
ty’s lacklustre perfor-
mance.
Questions are being
raised as to why didn’t
Rahul-Priyanka camp
in Gujarat? Was Bharat
Jodo Yatra more impor-
tant than Gujarat and
Himachal elections?
Was there a mistake by
the high command in
fixing the time of the
yatra? Is mutual fac-
tionalism of senior
leaders responsible for
this abysmal
performance?Notably,
in 2017 assembly elec-
tions, Congress had
won 77 seats under the
leadership of Ashok
Gehlot and Ahmed
bhai.
But this time CM Ge-
hlot got stuck in Ra-
jasthan and could not
concentrate fully on
Gujarat and as a result
Congress had a meagre
number in his kitty
.
But who is responsi-
ble for this situation in
Rajasthan? Observers
claim that the high
command is also re-
sponsible for the politi-
cal situation in Ra-
jasthan and election
results of Gujarat are a
signal for Rajasthan.
Political observers and
pandits have now posed
a direct question on the
Congress intelligensia :
Will Rajasthan also re-
peat the history of Gu-
jarat in 2023?
Who is responsible for lacklustre poll performance?

DR RAGHU SHARMA RESIGNS AS GUJARAT
PCC CHIEF AFTER MASSIVE DEFEAT
With the defeat in the Gujarat assembly elections, the
phase of resignations has started in Congress. The
results of all the 182 assembly seats in the state were still
not out, that the Gujarat in-charge of party resigned from his
post. Congress in-charge of Gujarat Raghu Sharma resigned
from his post by writing a letter to Congress President Mal-
likarjun Kharge, taking the responsibility of the humiliating
defeat in Gujarat.
CM Ashok Gehlot while
congratulating Congress
candidate Anil Sharma for his
victory in the Sardarshahar
assembly by-election has said
that this (victory) is people’s
stamp on our welfare work
of four years. Gehlot also
expressed heartfelt gratitude
to all the voters in a statement
and said, “This victory is the
result of the Congress govern-
ment’s transparent, sensitive,
accountable good governance
and public welfare schemes
of education, health and social
security.” Gehlot said that
this election result shows
that the people of Rajasthan
have completely rejected the
BJP. “No matter how much
the BJP may lie, the people of
Rajasthan are with the truth.
It is a clear message from the
public that in 2023, Congress
will form the government with
full majority in Rajasthan. In
the last 9 by-elections held
in Raj in last four years, Con-
gress has won 7 seats. BJP
has been able to win only one
seat. here, BJP’s security was
forefeited,” he said.
Shivendra Parmar
Shimla: CM Ashok Ge-
hlot’s ‘master stroke’ of
including Old Pension
Scheme in the manifes-
to in Himachal Pradesh
has delivered well for
the party
. The issue has
been close to the heart
of more than 3 lakh gov-
ernment employees and
OPS had become the
biggest issue in
Himachal assembly
elections. Priyanka
Gandhi leading the
election campaign also
promised the OPS in
every rally. CM Gehlot
also repeated it in his
rallies and media brief-
ings in the Hill state.
The Bharatiya Janata
Party could not find a
counter to this promise
of the Congress and lost
the state. Another rea-
son for BJP’s loss there
has been anti-incum-

TOP TWEETS
SC UNHAPPY
WITH DHANKHAR
QUESTIONING ITS
JUDICIAL POWER
ussle over judicial
appointments have
the making of a turf
war between the leg-
islature and the judi-
ciary with a Supreme Court
bench of justices Sanjay Kishan
Kaul, Vikram Nath and Abhay S.
Oka expressing its displeasure
over the remarks made by the
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep
Dhankhar who, in his maiden
speech, slammed the Supreme
Court for invalidating National
Judicial Appointments Commis-
sion (NJAC). Recalling the “his-
toric mandate” for the 99th Con-
stitutional Amendment Bill
which paved the way for NJAC,
Dhankhar said that the undoing
of the mandate by the Supreme
Court was “a glaring instance of
severe compromise of parlia-
mentary sovereignty and disre-
gard of the mandate of the peo-
ple…” He hinted that Parliament
could discuss the matter afresh.
Responding to Dhankhar’s
comments the Supreme Court
said that “while Parliament has
the right to enact a law, the pow-
er to scrutinize it lies with the
court. The bench said that the
“comments are not well taken”
and asked the attorney-general
to “advise them”.
T
rime Minister
Narendra Modi’s
mojo still has Gu-
jarat under its
spell. During an
election rally in Kaprada,
Modi said that he was there
to beat all records. And, that’s
what he did. The Bharatiya
Janata Party ensured its sev-
enth win in a row. The party
has been in power in Gujarat
for 27 years yet there was no
sign of any anti-incumbency
factor as it marched to its
highest ever tally of 150 plus
seats leaving the 127 seats it
won in 2002 way behind. Re-
placing four chief ministers
in one year also did not have
any impact and unlike
Himachal Pradesh there was
no rebellion either. That only
goes to show Modi’s iron grip
on the state.
For the Congress the shock
of a humiliating defeat in
Gujarat will be more over-
whelming than the euphoria
of victory in Himachal
Pradesh where it was closing
in on the majority mark. De-
spite BJP’s best efforts it
could not change the state’s
tradition of ousting the in-
cumbent party from power.
Despite having the numbers
the Congress will find it dif-
ficult to form a government
as its MLAs are vulnerable to
temptations.
Nothing,however,explains
the Congress losing around
62 seats in Gujarat except
that it went down without
even a semblance of resist-
ance. Former party president
Rahul Gandhi took time off
from his Bharat Jodo Yatra to
address only two rallies. Mal-
likarjun Kharge, the new
Congress president, had no
impact on the voters. He may
have also conceded advan-
tage to the BJP by comparing
Modi with Ravana. The party
must collectively introspect.
MODI HAS GUJARAT
UNDER HIS SPELL
BJP has been in power in Gujarat for 27 years yet there was
no sign of any anti-incumbency factor as it marched to its
highest ever tally of 150 plus seats leaving 127 seats it
won in 2002 way behind. Replacing 4 CMs in one year also did
not have any impact and unlike HP there was no rebellion either.
That only goes to show Modi’s iron grip on the state
P
seats out of 182 in Gujarat,
the clarion call of 150+ final-
ly came through. Did Prime
Minister Narendra Modi es-
timate it, at all? It seems so,
as the votes finally got count-
ed. In all his campaign
speeches PM Modi enthused
the Gujarati voters to make
Bhupendra Bhai’s winning
margin, much larger than
Narendra Bhai. No doubt,
Modi’s self-respect resonat-
ing with Gujarati Pride, de-
livered. 27 years of BJP dom-
inance got another 5 years of
resounding success and 149
seats won over by Congress
in 1985, got washed away in
the swath of Modi support.
Then why did Himachal
Pradesh retain its inherent
character of changing the
ruling party every 5 years?
Reasons for maintaining the
37 year old legacy are a plen-
ty. But first, we need to bear
in our minds what most
Himachali journalists put
their money on – if there is
any national leader who
knows Himachal as the back
of ones’ hand, it’s PM Modi.
Because it was Modi who had
scripted the victory of Prem
Kumar Dhumal with his in-
novative organizational
changes way back in 90s. So,
what happened? Frankly
“Congressization” of BJP
happened in Himachal. The
cadre-based BJP had conflict-
ing ambitions at play
, faction-
alism played its hand at full
and over dependence on
claims of development un-
dertaken by Jai Ram Thakur,
backfired. Voters across the
state knew of the three con-
flicting camps at play in
Himachal politics. Voter apa-
thy exhibited in the high-
handed approach of local
BJP leaders had reached leg-
endary heights. Farmers
were at loggers end with the
big agri-tech firms perceived
as modern colonizers. And
the most vocal government
staff rued the implementa-
tion of New Pension scheme.
Most of all, women voters
found the going tough as pan-
demic Corona ate away their
savings and denied them al-
ternate income sources. Had
it not been for the personal
intervention by PM Modi,
which included direct phone
calls to rebel candidates, BJP
could have been limited to
negligent 15 out 68 seats. It
was Modi’s concerted cam-
paign in the hill state, tai-
lored with mass contact pro-
gram banking on PM Modi’s
past experiences that saved
the looming rout. So, every
seat the BJP secured beyond
15 seats, should in effect be
credited to Modi magic.
What then worked in Guja-
rat? After all BJP has been in
power for the past 27 years –
Modi has not been active in
Gujaratforover8years–com-
pared to the 13 years of Modi
rule, the dynamism of incum-
bent chief ministers pales
into oblivion – so is it just, the
son of soil image of Modi that
made the Gujarati voter
queueup?ActuallyDecember
2022 polls has been more than
what meets the eye. With Ra-
hul Gandhi and the entire
Congress brass overtly preoc-
cupied with Bharat Jodo
Yatra, Gujarat was left only
with the state leaders – most
of whom are discredited, dis-
gruntled, demotivated. Last
minute infusion of Ashok Ge-
hlot couldn’t lift the morale of
the disillusioned state appa-
ratus. Quite unlike the 2017
elections when Ashok Gehlot
had plotted the entire election
machinery into a near win-
ning machine – after all 2017
polls saw the best perfor-
mance of Congress post 2002,
77 seats when contrasted with
99 of BJP
.
Top this lackluster half-
heartedinitiativeof Congress
with the active participation
of Aam Aadmi Party(AAP),
post their sojourn in Surat
Municipal polls. The “Free” -
“Free”, sale announced by
AAP for monthly electricity
bill/monthly dole for women/
Mohalla Clinic in localities or
for the auto rides by Arvind
Kejriwal, roadshows of Man-
ish Sisodia or radical-abusive
statements on PM Modi by
AAP State chief – AAP, gave
Congress a run for its money
during the election coverage.
Till the first phase polling
BJP ensured that in national
mindset, the Gujarat elec-
tions were all about BJP
AAP. While Congress grap-
pled with this perception
slight,Modiandhiscoreteam
concentrated in the rural and
tribal areas of Gujarat – the
core bastion of the Congress.
The Prime Minister’s road
show at Amba - the 50 km long
road show near Ahmedabad,
the focused group rallies host-
ed by Amit Shah and J P Na-
dda, the Jan Yatra covering
150+ constituencies starting
from 4 corners of Gujarat,
were all efforts to claim the
Congress bastion.
Little did the Congress or
AAP realize that both got
played by none other than the
BJP strategists. Gujarat was
the pride – the prime jewel in
2022 election and PM Modi,
simply had to bedazzle the
crown. And he did it.. This is
the biggest take away from
Gujarat Himachal elec-
tions – Bhupendra Bhai
walks away with the bigger
winning margin than Naren-
dra Bhai – but then, it’s Nar-
endra Bhai Modi, who is the
Krishna of Indian politics.

Shamsher Singh
New Delhi: It is now al-
most certain that Con-
gress President Mall-
ikarjun Kharge is not
going to form his team
as of now. His team will
be formed only after the
Congress session to be
held at the end of Febru-
ary
. This was indicated
in the first meeting of
the massive steering
committee he had
formed after becoming
the president. Sonia
Gandhiwasalsopresent
in the meeting held on
Sunday and there
Kharge gave a sound ad-
vice to the party leaders.
It was also clear from
his advice that even
though the office bear-
ers of the party have
resigned, they will con-
tinue to work as before.
That’s why it is surpris-
ing as to what was the
need to resign? When
Randeep Surjewala will
continue to be in charge
of Karnataka and Avi-
nash Pandey will con-
tinue to be in charge of
Jharkhand, then what
was the point of them
resigning from the post
of General Secretary?
Keep in mind that on
October 26, the day
Kharge took over, all
the general secretaries
had resigned. But no
new appointment was
made in their place and
no other leader was
made in-charge in the
states. All the general
secretaries who re-
signed are members of
the steering committee.
Kharge asked them how
many times a month
they visit the states un-
der their charge and
what is the status of the
organization there at
the district and block
level. In a way it is clear
that all the old office
bearers will continue to
work as before. All gen-
eral secretaries, secre-
taries, communication
team and all spokesper-
sons will continue to
work as before and re-
port to Kharge. That’s
why Kharge is in no
hurry to form a new
team. At the end of
February, there will be
a party convention in
Chhattisgarh, in
which the All India
Congress Committee
will seal Kharge’s ele-
vation as president
and after that he will
form a new team.
Will Kharge forge his team in party’s third session?

Shimla (Agencies):
TThe result of the

clude five seats of apple
growing belts Rohru,
Jubbal-Kotkhai, Theog-
Kumarsain, Rampur
Bushahr and Chopal.
All these areas are ma-
jor producers of apple
and stone fruits.
In Theog, former
Himachal Pradesh Con-
gress Committee
(HPCC) President Kul-
deep Singh Rathore won
by 5,269 votes, in Rohru,
Mohan Lal Bragta re-
tained his seat as he
won by 19,339 votes.
In Rampur, Congress

won by a difference of
567 votes.
In Jubbal-Kotkhai, Ro-
hit Thakur retained his
seat after he defeated
BJP candidate Chetan
Bragta by 5,067 votes.
The seat was vacated
after former MLA Nar-
inder Bragta passed
away in 2021. Later in
the by-elections, Con-
gress candidate Rohit

CONG MLAS FROM ‘POACHING’ BID
Raipur: As the Assembly poll trends showed the

New Delhi: Petroleum
Minister Hardeep Puri
and Congress leader in
Lok Sabha Adhir Ran-
jan Chowdhury entered
into a war of words over
Ujjwala scheme subsidy
and gas prices in the
house on Thursday
.
The drama took place
during Question Hour,
when BJP MP from Bal-
aghat, Dhal Singh Bisen
sought to know from
Puri, the quantum of
loss faced by the govt as
several Ujjwala benefi-
ciaries have failed to get
a second refill of their
cylinders and whether
the government will in-
crease the subsidy
amount to ensure refill
of Ujjwala cylinders.
Puri said that there
seems to be some lack of
informationontheissue
and went on to inform
the House that there has
been a quantum leap in
number of LPG connec-
tions since 2014.
As Puri explained
how the govt has made
efforts to keep the do-
mestic gas prices in
check despite a surge in
its prices internation-
ally, at this point,
Chowdhury interrupt-
ed Puri, seeking to
know the present gas
price.
New Delhi (PTI): There is
a need to take the issue
of religious conversions
happening across the
country seriously, BJP
MP from Jharkhand Sunil
Kumar Singh said in
Parliament on Thursday
and claimed it has led to
rise of suicides. Speaking
during a session in Lok
Sabha to discuss matters
under Rule 377, he said
conversions are changing
the direction of society
and the country. “Such
organisations specially
target people from back-
ward classes. There have
been cases that people
killed themselves due to
religious conversion. As
part of a conspiracy, they
are encouraged to think
that they are not Hindus,
they do not believe in
Constitution,” Singh said.
New Delhi (PTI): Ra-
jya Sabha Chairman
Jagdeep Dhankhar on
Thursday assured the
House that experienced
MPs like former prime
minister HD Deve Gow-
da would be given pref-
erence to express views
on important issues,
andnottherulebook.
While felicitat-
ing Dhankar
as new Rajya
Sabha Chair-
man on
Wednesday, it
was suggest-
ed by some
that experi-
enced mem-
bers should
be given ade-
quate time to
express views on legis-
lations and issues of
national interest.
“Believe in the Chair.
The Chair is not parti-
san. The Chair is na-
tional,” Dhankhar said
while making an obser-
vation during the Ques-
tion Hour on day two of
the winter session of
Parliament.
The chairman also
urged the MPs to rise
above party lines on im-
portant issues.
Rajya Sabha rules
provide for the alloca-
tion of time during de-
batesasperthestrength
of a political party -
the larger the
number of MPs
more is time is
given to the party
.
Gowda is the sole
member of his
party (JDS) in the
House and hence
is allocated the
least time to
put forth his
views.
New Delhi: Sev-
eral MPs on Thursday
urged the govt to create
sports infrastructure in
rural areas, as the Lok

on sports and steps
taken by the govern-
ment in this regard. The

in Lok Sabha on March
31, during the Budget
Session of Parliament.
Manickam Tagore of
the Congress stressed
that sports helps in
building trust and said
it gives confidence and
builds trust in com-
munity. “The need
for Bharat Jodo is an
important process and
Bharat Jito can happen
only with Bharat Jodo,”
he said. Tagore also
suggested that private
sector should be roped
in for development of
sports facilities in rural
areas. “Private sector is
also an important part
of it. How is the minis-
try planning to encour-
age private players to
support them?” Tagore
said. He alleged that
government agencies
were hounding those
private players who we
not supporting the gov-
ernment. “We have a
tax terrorism mentality
now. All the agencies
are behind the business
people... Those who
are not supporting the
government. Will this
mindset be changed?”

New Delhi (PTI):
Congress Rajya Sabha
MP Kumar Ketkar
on Thursday alleged
that real estate sharks

devastating jungles and
using their money and

legal action. In order to

should the laws be strict
but their implementation
should also be equally
stingent, he said during
a discussion on the
Wild Life (Protection)
Amendment Bill in the
Upper House. The bill
was tabled by Environ-
ment Minister Bupender
Yadav on Wednesday.
At present, when we
are talking about this
Act, Nicobar is
being completely
ruined, Nicobar
jungles
are being
removed
for the benefit of some
corporates. So essen-
tially, the wildlife is actu-
ally attacked not by any
humans as such, but
by the corporates and
sometimes by celebrity
Bollywood types, he
said. Stressing on the
effective implementa-
tion of laws, Ketkar said,
The implementation is
not strict because the
corporates are actually
using their money or
muscle power or their
contacts in bureaucracy
and in the govern-
ment to
destroy
the
jun-
gle.

New Delhi (PTI): A day
after the RBI raised the
benchmark lending rate by
35 basis points, Kotak Ma-
hindra Bank Managing Di-
rector Uday Kotak on
Thursday said the central
bank may go for one more
rate hike to bring inflation
below its upper tolerance
level of 6%.
On Wednesday, the RBI
indicated that it wants in-
flation to be within the
band first and then move
towards the target of 4%,
Kotak said.
“My sense is that there
could be one more rate
hike and that may be the
time for thinking about a
pivot, but we got to watch
very closely the data, and
maybe around 6.5%, as it
looks today, subject to
what happens to the world,
subject to what happens to
oil, subject to what hap-
pens to many other
things,” he said.
Kotak further said the
US Federal Reserve’s deci-
sion on interest rates this
month will be a signal for
other central banks.
“I think that is going to
be a very crucial signal
about what is the interest
rate trajectory in the larg-
est market and the largest
pool of money in the world,
which is the US,” he said.
The Reserve Bank of In-
dia (RBI) Wednesday hiked
the key repo rate by 35 ba-

2.25% since May this year.
On the potential of the
Indian economy, Kotak
said the country has be-
come the fifth largest in the
world at about $3.2 trillion
and has huge potential.
There are opportunities
to move up the ladder, to be
among the top three in the
world, and its realisation
would depend on certain
metrics, including eco-
nomic performance in
terms of absolute GDP and
absolute per capita income
instead of the PPP com-
parison, he said.
To develop world class
Indian companies, he
stressed on the need to
build scale in manufactur-
ing based on cutting edge
product innovation and de-
veloping IP rights rather
than depending on arbi-
trage alone to secure an
advantage.

ffective com-
m u n i c a t i o n
techniques in a
healthcare set-
ting have been
developed on
the basis that
physiotherapists are in
a unique position as
part of a multidiscipli-
nary team in that they
can have substantially
more contact time with
patients than other
members of the team.
This means the physio-
therapist is more appro-
priately positioned to
develop a deeper pa-
tient-therapist relation-
ship and in doing so
educate and empower
the patient of their
physical condition
and management.
City First inter-
acted with Dr Nam-
rata Massey, (PT),
MPT (Ortho), MIAP,
born and brought up
in Uttar Pradesh, now
hailing in the Pink
City, about her prac-
tice, physiotherapy as
a profession and the
challenges she faced
so far!
When asked about
what led her into this
medical journey, the
passionate doctor said,
“My family looks upto
academics. My sister
pursued MBBS and
honestly speaking, I
wished to do the same
but couldn’t make it.
Initially I didn’t know
much about physio-
therapy but with im-
mense determination I
explored the field and
came up with enor-
mous ways to heal peo-
ple.” She further
added, “With time I re-
alized this practice
doesn’t require patients
to heal with the help of
medicines and we could
see them recover in
front of our own eyes.
No less than magic.”
When asked about
her specialisation,
Massey confidently
exclaimed, “Being
a specialist in Or-
tho, I deal with the
accidental cases, im-
plants after that, and
what all is required to
bring them into a nor-
mal daily routine.
Therapies like mobili-
sation, etc help a lot.”
Dr Namrata Massey
runs her own clinic,
PHYSIOTHERAPY
SLIMMING, near Ha-
numan Nagar Exten-
sion, Jaipur. She has
always been eager to
know more about
physiotherapy meth-
ods and is kind
enough to offer ide-
as on the best ways
to help promote vari-
ous methods to heal
people.
On further asking as
to how she treats her pa-
tients, Namrata said, “I
always believe in good
communication with
my patients. They heal
equally with the words
of affirmation and
comfort.” She fur-
ther added, “A phys-
iotherapists clear
explanation and ex-
pression of support
could lead to greater
patient trust and under-
standing of treatment
options. This in turn
may facilitate patient
adherence to recom-
mended therapy, which
in turn improves the
particular health out-
come. Increased patient
participation in the con-
sultation could help us
better understand the
patient’s needs and pref-
erences as well as dis-
cover possible miscon-
ceptions the patient
may have about treat-
ment options.”
