Prime Minister Narendra Modi also had his share
of laughter while thanking Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot. “I especially want to express my gratitude to
Gehlot ji. He has been going through a lot of trouble
due to political turbulence in his state. Despite that,
he took out time for development work and came
for the launch,” he said. Also, work that should have
been done immediately after Independence, couldn’t
be done till now. But you trust me to such an extent
that you brought even those tasks to me. Your trust in
me is the strength of our friendship. And as a friend, I
thank you for having this trust to me,” PM Modi added.

ing 2 days ago and suspected to be the weapon used in
the incident has been found, the army said in a state-
ment. The army and Punjab Police are jointly investigat-
ing the incident, and they will do a forensic analysis of
the assault rifle.

country if rail facilities are
increased here. Speaking at
the Jaipur railway station
after the state’s first Vande Bharat train was flagged off
by PM Narendra Modi virtually, CM Gehlot said there
is a great need for development of railways
in Rajasthan due to its geographi-
cally distinct identity.

Jaipur: Prime Minister
Narendra Modi lashed
out at the previous UPA
governmentbeforesend-
ing off the first Vande
Bharat train to Ra-
jasthan. The last part of
Modi’s speech was a sar-
castic remark on Chief
Minister Gehlot, which
remained a topic of dis-
cussion. However, reply-
ing to the Prime Minis-
ter’squipatthefunction,
the Chief Minister later
issuedapressstatement.
PMModi,attheendof
his address, mentioned
the infighting in State
Congress. Expressing
special gratitude to the
Chief Minister,PMModi
said, “CM Gehlot is go-
ing through many crises
these days in political
turmoil. Despite that,
takingtimeoutfordevel-
opment work, he came
here and took part in the
railway programme.”
Addressing Gehlot,
Modi said that the work
which should have been
done immediately after
independence, has not
been done till now. “But
you have so much faith
in me that you have
placed that work in front
of me today
. I thank you
very much for the trust
you place in me as a

PM’s remarks unfortunate,
aimed at coming polls: CM
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot termed
“unfortunate” Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi’s remark that rail-
ways had become an
arena of politics under
previous governments,
saying his comments on
Wednesday were made
with an eye on the com-
ing assembly and gen-
eral elections.
“I am sad that today
in my presence, you
have insulted former
Railway Ministers in-
cluding Lal Bahadur
Shastri, Jagjivan Ram
and others. It is unfortu-
nate to call the decisions
motivatedbycorruption
and political interest.”
He further said, “In
an attempt to reduce the
importance of railways,
you have ended the sep-
arate railway budget
during your tenure. To-
day if the modern train
is able to run because
Dr. Manmohan Singh,
as the Finance Minister,
did economic liberalisa-
tion in 1991 and gave
new technology and op-
portunity to develop in
India. Technological ad-
vancements have taken
place all over the world
over time, due to which
new technology has also
come in India and there
have been improve-
ments in the railways. It
is not fair to say that the
development in the Rail-
ways have happened
only after 2014.”
Gehlot said, “Today
your speech has been
given completely keep-
ing in view the assem-
bly and Lok Sabha elec-
tions of 2023-24 and it is
in line with the election
agenda of the Bharati-
ya Janata Party

TOP TWEETS
IS THE US IN A SPACE RACE AGAINST CHINA?
eadlines proclaim-
ing the rise of a
new “space race”
between the U.S.
and China have be-
come common in news cover-
age following many of the ex-
citing launches in recent
years. Experts have pointed to
China’s rapid advancements
in space as evidence of an
emerging landscape where
China is directly competing
with the U.S. for supremacy
.
This idea of a space race be-
tween China and the U.S.
sounds convincing given the
broader narrative of China’s
rise, but how accurate is it? As
a professor who studies space
and international relations,
my research aims to quantify
the power and capabilities of
different nations in space.
When I look at various capaci-
ties, the data paints a much
more complex picture than a
tight space race between the
U.S. and China. At least for
now, the reality looks more
like what I call a complex he-
gemony – one state, the U.S., is
still dominating in key space
capabilities, and this lead is
further amplified by a strong
network of partners.
A CLEAR LEADER MAKES
FOR A BORING RACE
Calling the current situation a
race implies that the U.S. and
China have roughly equal ca-
pabilities in space. But in sev-
eral key areas, the U.S. is far
ahead not only of China, but
of all other spacefaring na-
tions combined.
Starting with spending: In
2021, the U.S. space budget was
roughly US$59.8 billion. China
has been investing heavily in
space and rocket technology
over the last decade and has
doubled its spending in the last
five years. But with an estimat-
ed budget of $16.18 billion in
2021, it is still spending less
than a third of the U.S. budget.
PARITY WITH NUANCE
While the U.S. may have a
clear advantage over China in
many areas of space, in some
measures, the differences be-
tween the two countries are
more nuanced.
In 2021, for instance, China
attempted 55 orbital launches,
four more than the U.S.‘s 51.
The total numbers may be
similar, but the rockets car-
ried very different payloads to
orbit. The vast majority – 84%
– of Chinese launches had gov-
ernment or military payloads
intended mostly for electronic
intelligence and optical imag-
ing. Meanwhile, in the U.S.,
61% of launches were for non-
military
, academic or commer-
cial use, predominantly for
Earth observation or telecom-
munications.
ALLIES AS FORCE
MULTIPLIERS
A major point of difference
between the U.S. and China is
the nature and number of in-
ternational collaborations.
For decades, NASA has
been fruitfully cultivating in-
ternational and commercial
partnerships in everything
from developing specific space
technologies to flying humans
into space. The U.S. govern-
ment has also signed 169 space
data sharing agreements with
33 states and intergovernmen-
tal organizations, 129 with
commercial partners and sev-
en with academic institutions.
CHINA IS NOT THE ONLY
GAME IN TOWN
While China may seem like the
main competitor of the U.S. in
space, other countries have
space capabilities and aspira-
tions that rival those of China.
India spends billions on
space and plans to return to
the Moon, possibly with Ja-
pan, in the near future. South
Korea, Israel, Japan, the Unit-
ed Arab Emirates, Turkey,
Germany and the European
Union are also planning inde-
pendent lunar missions. Ja-
pan has developed impressive
technological space capabili-
ties, including rendezvous
proximity technology to send
a spacecraft to an asteroid and
bring samples back to Earth,
that rival and even surpass
those of China.

ccording to a report prepared by
the United Nations World Eco-
nomic Situation and Prospects
(WESP) 2023, world output
growth would decelerate signifi-
cantly
. It is now projected to be
1.9 percent from previously esti-
mated 3.0 percent. The whole
world has suffered from some
interconnected events with neg-
ativeimplicationsonthelivesof
nations and individuals. Almost
all these severe and mutually re-
inforcing shocks were totally or
partially preventable. A grave
pandemic Covid 19 was treated
more as administrative rather
thanmedicalemergency
.Despite
tall claims and except for Swe-
den, all governments across the
world acted either under panic
or arrogance and many of their
leaders even suggested laugha-
ble measures to fight the virus.
As though this pandemic was
notenough,Westernworldstart-
ed playing regional politics the
moment the wounds of the viral
attack started healing a bit. Eu-
rope suggested that Ukraine be
part of the European union and
then become a member of Nato
- the strategic military alliance
mainly targeted at the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republic of yes-
ter years now represented by
Russia. President Putin of Rus-
sia responded by attacking
Ukraine with full force. The war
which was expected to be over in
less than a week is still going on
even after one year of its begin-
ning. This war and viral pan-
demic caused food price infla-
tion because of logistic issues
created by war. Superimposed
on food shortage was the energy
crisis due to restrictions on Rus-
siangasandcrude.Asthoughall
this was not enough, debt tight-
ening, early global recession,
joblessness and climatic issues
all contributed to making life
very difficult for many people.
We are living in the midst of
a unique crisis - Cost-of-living
crisis. We are watching people
traveling to misery - from auto-
cratic, repressive and corrupt
regimes of Islamic countries to
Europe. Religion has always
been used as a tool to power by
the unscrupulous but this phe-
nomenon is more blatant now.
Viewed closely, there is nothing
spiritual in any religion. It is all
about politics and big money.
The claims of enlightenment
through religion are bogus and
deceptive. Religious hatred, in-
fighting and persecution is the
main cause of penury and mi-
gration amongst the majority
of nations. Migration is not
easy, so many people die in the
perilous journey and majority
of them live a life of partial
slavery for the rest of their life.
Biodiversity loss and ecosys-
tem collapse are two other fast
emerging crises upon whom
least attention is being paid.
Floods and famine would keep
inflation high. As the public is
living under significant debt
and supply chain related high
food prices, stagnation and so-
cio-economic turmoil may put
life to extreme stress for most
of the population. Whenever
geopolitics takes precedence
over economics, danger of mul-
ti-domain conflicts starts ap-
pearing on horizon. So much
happens so rapidly that human
lives become least precious.
Amid all this negativity
, great
thing are happening in the field
of technology. Quantum com-
puting, artificial intelligence,
3D printing on 4D printer and
blockchain technology would
create an entirely new world in
practical life. But these are cost-
ly technologies that not all
countries can afford. For those
who can buy them, these newer
technologies would solve, party
or fully
, health care, food supply
chain logistics, climatic and se-
curity issues. But they also
have some major side effects
also. Misinformation might
spread very widely and even
more faster than the present
social media. Technology has
brought ugly side of society to
the fore. Many blue- and white-
collor jobs may also disappear.
As societies grow, multiple
domains start affecting life. Be-
cause of this multiplicity, poly-
crises start accelerating . To
combat these crises geopolitical
cooperation is essential other-
wise multiple disasters would
become inevitable. The world is
enteringintofourtypesof short-
ages, that of water, food, miner-
als and metals. These shortages
would create great difficulties
for human life. To create a resil-
ient, stable and inclusive world,
global consensus should emerge
on all these four almost possible
shortages because that requires
a major shift in the way people
live. For a long period of time we
haveforgottenthatwereapwhat
we sow. Rapid, uncontrolled and
unnecessary consumerism has
greatly destroyed so many natu-
ral resources for non-productive
uses like war and luxury
.
To develop human capital,
greater global investment would
be required in the near future
before climatic changes cause
irreversible damage to the plan-
et. The requirement of money
can be huge and would not be
possible to mobilize without in-
ternational contribution and
cooperation. Could it be possible
to bring warring and competing
forces together for a cause to
save life on earth? People com-
mit murder and suicide to sat-
isfy their ego. There is a great
dearth of visionary leadership
across the globe. Most of the
prominent leaders of dominant
countries seem to be completely
indulged in saving their own po-
sition in their respective coun-
try
. They appear to be oblivious
of loomingwaterandfoodshort-
ages and even if they are, their
actions do not reflect their genu-
ine concern. A one year wide-
spread rain deficit is all that can
bring unmanageable disaster.

29 Of 30 CMs crorepatis, Didi only exception
New Delhi: Twenty-
nine of the 30 incum-
bent Chief Ministers
are crorepatis with
Andhra Pradesh’s Jag-
an Mohan Reddy hav-
ing the highest assets
totalling `510 crore, ac-
cording to poll affida-
vits analysed by the As-
sociation for Democrat-
ic Reforms (ADR).
West Bengal Chief
Minister Mamata Ba-
nerjee has the lowest
total assets of about `15
lakh, the ADR said. The
ADRandElectionWatch
(NEW) said they have
arrived at this conclu-
sion after analysing the
self-sworn poll affida-
vits of all the 30 current
chief ministersof states
and union territories.
There are 28 state
chief ministers and two
unionterritories--Delhi
and Puducherry -- also
have chief ministers.
The Union Territory of
Jammu and Kashmir
does not have a chief
minister currently
.
Out of the 30 chief
ministers analysed, 29
(97 per cent) are crore-
patis with the average
assets being `33.96 crore
for every chief minis-
ter, the ADR said.
As per ADR, out of
the 30 chief ministers,
13 (43%) have declared
serious criminal cases
including those related
to murder, attempt to
murder, kidnapping
and criminal intimida-
tion. Serious criminal
cases are non-bailable
offences with over five
years of imprisonment,
the report said.
What is the politics of Pawar family?
Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: It is diffi-
cult for anyone to un-
derstand the politics of
Sharad Pawar and Ajit
Pawar. Their political
ally - Congress -is wor-
ried about Pawar fami-
ly’s politics, while the
BJP leaders are also
confused as to what
politics senior and jun-
ior Pawar are actually
trying to do. It is also a
big question whether
both are playing their
respective roles in a po-
litical game or their
games are different?
Apart from the Con-
gress, other opposition
parties, which are try-
ing to form a front
ahead of the next Lok
Sabha elections, are
also trying to under-
stand Pawar’s politics.
First of all, an at-
tempt is being made to
solve this mystery that
when Sharad Pawar’s
party remained with
the opposition on Ada-
ni’s issue throughout
the budget session and
kept demanding to
form JPC, then how did
Pawar oppose the de-
mand of JPC as soon as
the session was over
and how did he come
out in support of Ada-
ni? Pawar has done this
earlier also. If he is
with the opposition, he
should be seen with it.
If he does politics in
Maharashtra, he wants
to be seen with cor-
porates as well,
and also
wants to be
seen with
the cen-
tral gov-
e r n -
ment and the BJP so
that the family is safe
from the attacks of cen-
tral agencies.
Ajit Pawar has more
complicated politics
than Pawar senior. He
supported his uncle’s
stand on the Adani is-
sue and said it was the
party’s line. Only then
the question is whether
the politics they are do-
ing apart from this
should be considered
as party line or not? He
openly opposed the
controversy over
Prime Minister
N a r e n d r a
Modi’s de-
gree and said
that it is a
non-issue.
After this, he took a dif-
ferent line from his un-
cle on the issue of Elec-
tronic Voting Machine
ie EVM. Sharad Pawar
had discussed the
shortcomings of EVMs
in a meeting with oppo-
sition parties in the
past, but Ajit Pawar
has said that EVMs
cannot be tampered
with. Along with this,
he also praised Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi. Is this also the
party line?
Apart from Cong,
other opposition
parties, which
are trying to form
a front ahead of
the next LS polls,
are also trying to
understand
Pawar’s politics.

Akshay Rai
New Delhi: Congress’
Rajasthan in-charge
Sukhjinder Randhawa,
on Wednesday, gave a
major statement on the
rebellious attitude of
Sachin Pilot, saying
that he ‘will not allow
Rajasthan to become
Punjab.’
Talking to reporters,
Randhawa said, “I am
looking into all matters.
Sachin Pilot’s issue re-
garding corruption is
correct, but the way of
raising this issue is
wrong. First indisci-
pline action should have
been taken regarding
Sachin Pilot. But it was
not done at that time,
but now action will be
taken. Raj leaders aren’t
talking like Punjab. 100
MLAs are united re-
garding CM Ashok Ge-
hlot.” Referring to past
instances of indisci-
pline in party’s state
unit, Randhawa said ac-
tion wasn’t taken many
times earlier as well
when it should have
been done but this time
‘action will be taken.’
He, however, didn’t spec-
ify what kind of action
would be taken on issue.
Congress’ in-charge of
Rajasthan Sukhjinder
Singh Randhawa met
with party chief Mall-
ikarjun Kharge here on
Wednesday, a day after
Sachin Pilot observed a
fast in Jaipur demand-
ing action in cases of
alleged corruption un-
der the previous
Vasundhara Raje-led
BJP government in Ra-
jasthan.
Randhawa met with
Kharge for about half-
an-hour at his 10 Rajaji
Marg residence here,
sources said.
Pilot also reached
Delhi on Wednesday.
There was speculation
that he might meet
Randhawa and other
senior leaders, but
sources close to Pilot
said no meetings were
scheduled.
Taking strong objec-
tion to call of undertak-
ing a daylong fast by
Pilot, Randhawa on
Monday evening had
said that any such pro-
test against its sitting
government would
amount to anti-party
activity
.
As Pilot was leaving
the site where he held
the fast in Jaipur on
Tuesday, he told report-
ers that his fast will
speed up movement
against corruption.
First India Bureau
New Delhi: Wednesday
witnessed a ‘stir’ in the
Congress party from
Rajasthan to Delhi as
State incharge
Sukhjinder Randhawa
met Mallikarjun
Kharge over Sachin Pi-
lot case. Randhawa
spoke to Sachin Pilot
and probed his mind.
Sachin also went to the
gymkhana club late in
the evening and now
the entire Congress
‘realm’ is trying to find
out whom did Pilot
meet at the gymkhana?
Highly placed sourc-
es in party reveal that
cabinet reshuffle & ex-
pansion may happen
soon! With this, the epi-
sode of Sachin Pilot
will end as Pilot will get
new responsibility.
Randhawa will meet Pi-
lot regarding his future.
Before this, Randhawa
will meet Cong leaders,
ministers and MLAs of
Raj for which Randha-
wa may come to Jaipur
today or day after.
CM Gehlot...
Meetings of fellow par-
ty workers & responsi-
bility of publicising
govt’s public welfare
schemes was also given
to ministers. CM has di-
rected the ministers to
sit with administrative
officers in their home
districts to implement
flagship schemes &
budget announcements
of govt & provide maxi-
mum benefits to masses
It is said that in the
meeting, the ministers
were instructed not to
make any kind of re-
mark in Sachin Pilot
case. Gehlot said that
there shouldn’t be any
kind of rhetoric in me-
dia & on public forums.
This is also the signal
from party high com-
mand, he told minis-
ters. Meanwhile, sever-
al proposals of Medical,
Edu, Revenue etc were
approved in meeting.
Yogesh Sharma
Jaipur: In the issue
surrpounding Pilot’s al-
legations against
Vasundhara Raje, the
former Raj Dy CM has
not yet got the support
of senior leaders of his
own party. In fact, Con-
gress veterans are re-
fraining from speaking
against Raje. In fact,
even the pro-Pilot min-
isters and MLAs have
not given any big state-
ment yet while state
Congress President Go-
vind Singh Dotasra,
Harish Chowdhary,
Bhanwar Jitendra Sin-
gh, Dr Raghu Sharma
and Namonarayan Mee-
na too haven’t said any-
thing on the matter.
In fact, now Congress
workers are wondering
if BJP has played any
‘role’ in this entire tus-
sle between Gehlot-Pi-
lot camps? A top BJP
leader of Delhi gave a
blunt answer saying,
“This is Congress’s in-
ternal fight & we don’t
have any ‘role’ in this.”

2,700 inflation camps
will be set up across Raj.
Some camps will con-
tinue to run. We are run-
ning with Mission 2030.
In terms of GDP
, Raj has
been at No. 2 position
across the nation, which
makes us proud. My
mission is 2030. What
does the public think?
The public should feel
that the government
worked for us. We want
to make the public feel.
Can’t say if these
schemes will remain or
not if the government
changes. We will make
the public realize this,
no matter how many
roadshowsPMModiand
Amit Shah have. There
is a struggle of ideology
in country
. PM should
enact a law for social se-
curity
. Education and
health are our priority
.

The CM further add-
ed, “The state has
achieved a lot in the
field of education. NDA
govt should make law
on lines of UPA govern-
ment. Masses must be
benefited by schemes.”

SACHIN PILOT’S ISSUE REGARDING CORRUPTION IS CORRECT, BUT
THE WAY OF RAISING THIS ISSUE IS WRONG, SAYS STATE IN CHARGE
CM Gehlot cites ACB raids on corrupt
officers to dismiss Pilot’s charge of ‘inaction’
Jaipur (PTI): Chief
Minister Ashok Ge-
hlot on Wednesday
cited Anti-Corruption
Bureau (ACB) raids on
corrupt officers to dis-
miss his former depu-
ty Sachin Pilot’s
charge of inaction in
cases of corruption
during the previous
BJP dispensation.
He side-stepped
questions at a press
conference on Pilot’s
protest, saying that
his government’s fo-
cus was on easing in-
flation and nothing
else is going to distract
him from it.
“Do you know the
number of raids car-
ried out by the Anti-
Corruption Bureau
across the country?
How many people, in-
cluding four-five IAS,
IPS (officers), have
been caught here? Has
this happened any-
where in India?” Ge-
hlot said responding
to a question on Pilot’s
charge.
In reply to another
question on Pilot’s
protest, Gehlot said,
“Our aim is to ease in-
flation. This is our
only focus and we are
not going to deviate
from it.”
Congress leader Pi-
lot on Tuesday sat on a
fast in Jaipur, piling
pressure on his own
party by targeting the
Ashok Gehlot govern-
ment for “inaction” in
alleged cases of cor-
ruption when the BJP
ran the state.
Reacting to a ques-
tion that while he is
focusing on easing in-
flation, the BJP is rais-
ing communal issues,
Gehlot said, “My aim
is Mission 2030 and
easing inflation is the
first step towards it.
Who is doing what, we
are not bothered about
it.” Under the mission,
the government aims
to make Rajasthan the
top state by 2030.

JAIPUR, THURSDAY,
APRIL 13, 2023
DRESS LIKE THE
Whether it’s a subtle star pattern or a bold metallic
statement piece, star-inspired fashion is sure to
make you feel like a shining star yourself. City First
brings to you fashion from the heaven!
hen it comes to fashion, celebrities have
always been an influential force. From
Audrey Hepburn’s iconic little black
dress to Lady Gaga’s outrageous meat
dress, stars have shaped fashion trends
for decades. But lately, a new trend has
emerged: star-inspired fashion.
Thetrendhasbeenseenonrunways,redcarpets,
and everyday wear. It involves incorporating
stars, constellations, and celestial motifs into
clothingandaccessories.Thetrendhasbeen
embraced by both high-end designers and
fast-fashion brands, making it accessible
to a wide range of shoppers.
One of the key elements of star-in-
spired fashion is the use of metallics,
especially gold and silver. Dresses,
blouses, and even pantsuits have been
adorned with shimmering star pat-
terns, adding a touch of glamour and
sparkle to any outfit.
Another popular trend in star-in-
spired fashion is the use of sheer fab-
rics, such as tulle and chiffon, to create
a celestial effect. These fabrics have
been used to create ethereal, flowy
dresses with star and constellation
patterns, perfect for a night out un-
der the stars.
Accessories have also been giv-
en a celestial makeover, with star-
studded jewelry and handbags
popping up everywhere. Hair
accessories, such as star-stud-
ded barrettes and headbands,
have also been a big hit, adding
a touch of whimsy to any hair-
style.
Celebrities themselves have
been quick to embrace the star-
inspired trend, with stars like
Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and
Emma Stone all sporting celes-
tial-inspired clothing and acces-
sories. Even the Duchess of Cam-
bridge, Kate Middleton, has been
spotted wearing a star-patterned
blouse.
The trend has even expanded
beyond fashion, with star-in-
spired beauty products becoming
increasingly popular. Glittery star-
shaped eye shadow palettes, celestial-
themed nail polishes, and star-shaped
hair clips have all been a hit among
beauty enthusiasts.
In a world where everything can feel
uncertain, the star-inspired trend offers
a sense of whimsy and wonder. Whether
it’s a gold star-studded dress or a constel-
lation-patterned blouse, incorporating
celestial motifs into fashion and beauty
choices is a playful way to add some sparkle
to everyday life.
