Jaipur: In yet another
attack on central gov-
ernment and corpo-
rates, Meghalaya Gov-
ernor Satpal Malik on
Sunday said that Adani
has built a big godown
in Panipat to buy farm-
ers’ crops at cheap pric-
es and sell them at high
prices.
He was the chief
guestintheprogramme
which was attended by
dignitaries from the
fields of politics, film,
sports, literature, law,
business etc. attended
the program of the Jat
community
.
In the programme,
union minister Kailash
Chaudhary announced
that the history of Ma-
haraja Surajmal will be
taught to the students.
Malik said that such
godowns should be up-
rooted.
“Don’t be afraid, I
will walk with you to
jail. How have Adani
and Ambani become
wealthy, until these
people are not attacked,
these people will not
stop,” he said while ad-
dressing a programme
of Jat Parliament in
Jaipur.
Malik said that the
Modi government with-
drew three agriculture
laws but the MSP has
not been decided yet. In
such a situation, if a
law is not made on MSP
in time, then there will
be a fierce fight be-
tween the farmers and
the government in the
country
.
Malik said that the
country’s airports, rail-
ways, and shipyards
are being sold to Adani,
a friend of the govern-
ment.
“We have to stop sell-
ing the country. When
everyone is getting de-
stroyed, then the PM
should tell how these
people are getting
rich,” he said.
He said that when
farmers were protest-
ing, he went to the
prime minister with
resignation in pocket,
and explained to him
that atrocities are hap-
pening with the farm-
ers but he said that
these people will go on
their own. “I said that
they will go only after
you leave.”

“With this, the Gehlot

which has cursed the
Adani group in the past,
should now understand
that those whose own
houses are made of

stones at others. Con-
gress leader Rahul Gan-
dhi, in his speeches,
constantly puts the Ada-
ni group in the dock of
allegations, while on
the other hand the Con-

in the state repeatedly
obliges the same Adani
group by buying coal
and sometimes solar
power,” Rathore said.
He further stressed,
“The Congress, which
has accused the Modi
govt of benefiting the
industrialists, itself is
handing over big pro-
jects to the Adani group.

There are a host of thorny issues
like subsidies, export restric-

the developed countries want
eased. The developing countries
insist on retaining them in their
own interests. In the agriculture
sector, developed countries are
opposed to imposition of export
curbs in certain cases but India
is against the proposal as it may
hurt domestic food security
.
Subsidy in fishery is another
issue which the big countries
want developing countries to
cut while continuing with deep
sea fishing. India wants the big
countries to slash subsidies
first. The developed countries
will try to have their way but In-

E
ne of the complexities of Raj
Dharmaistheneedtobalance
scarce resources and priori-
tisewhatisbest‘forthelargest
goodof thelargestnumber’.A
state has to maintain a fine
balance between interests
whichareantagonistictoeach
other and evolve a consensus
that is more or less acceptable
to the key stakeholders. In
fact, the clash between legisla-
tiveintent,judicialinterpreta-
tion and the ground level is-
sues which administrators
havetofaceisperhapsinevita-
ble.Thisinevitabilityperhaps
explains the title of Gur-
charan Das’s book ‘The Diffi-
culty of Bring Good’ – for if
beinggoodwaseasy
,mostpeo-
ple would prefer to do so, and
the world would neither need
the state, not Raj Dharma!
In the Indian context , there
are three additional points
which add to the complexity :
we have a carefully crafted
compromisebetweentheFun-
damental Rights and the Di-
rective Principles of State
Policy , contradictions be-
tween rights of individuals as
citizens of India rights
which emanate from their
membership of a community
– SC/ST/OBC/Minority com-
munity , and last but not the
least ,a very wide disparity in
the economic, social, cultural,
intellectual endowments with
which people are born .
Overtime,manyof theseis-
sues are resolved, but newer
ones emerge for we live in a
world in which the expecta-
tions of stakeholders will al-
ways exceed the capacity of
the state to fulfil them. When
the state expands its capacity
,
it extends its powers, includ-
ing those of coercion. The
very first amendment to the
Constitution saw the dilution
of theRighttoFreedomof Ex-
pression,aswellasof theFun-
damental Right to Property
and endorsement of sedition
laws. In fact, without the first
amendment, the abolition of
Zamindari would have been
rendered difficult, if not im-
possible. The main argument
proffered by the state was that
addressing issues of hunger
and employment took prece-
dence over any other Right
enshrinedintheConstitution.
Over the years, there was a
political consensus on land
reforms as well the need to
strengthen the PDS and some
kind of an employment guar-
antee, and finally in the first
decade of this century
, the
Right to Work and the Right to
Food were adopted in a rare
showof bipartisanconsensus.
As things stand today
, The Na-
tional Food security Act cov-
ers nearly seventy percent of
thepopulationandofferscere-
als, pulses, oil, and sugar at
affordable rates. PDS outlets
across the country as well as
welfare schemes like Mid-day
meal and ICDS centres for ex-
pectant and lactating mothers
have addressed the issue of
hunger and absolute depriva-
tion. Besides,theMGNREGA,
has ensured that the landless
and the marginal farmers
haveatleastahundreddaysof
employment in a year. Be-
tween these two rights, the is-
sue of Roti (basic food) has
been resolved.
In the hierarchy of basic
needs, next to Roti is Kapda –
clothing. Till three decades
ago, many state governments
ran the ‘dhoti- saree scheme’
to provide two sets of clothes
to the BPL families before the
festival season. To the best of
my knowledge this has been
discontinued in all states, for
the‘market’hasaddressedthe
needs of all segments of soci-
ety
, including those at the Bot-
tomof thePyramid(BoP).The
expansionof thetextileindus-
try
, coupled with availability
of recycled clothes, rejects
from brands and export sur-
pluses have ensured that al-
most everyone in the country
– from the workers at con-
struction sites to nursing as-
sistants – have access to
clothes as well as footwear.
Thus, we have the interest-
ing proposition under which
thestateensuredRoti,andthe
markets provided Kapda.
Working in tandem they have
also been able to address the
issue of Bijli(power), Sadak
(roads) and Paani(water).
While the state has offered
subsidy for the consumption
of some basic units of water
and electricity to very house-
hold, the tolling at the high-
ways has generated resources
fortheroadbuildingprogram.
However, with respect to a
roof over every head - neither
the state, nor the market has
a grip over the situation. This
is further complicated by the
fact that the judiciary is giv-
ing two sets of instructions.
While on the one hand some
High Courts have directed
the district administration
and municipal authorities to
remove all encroachments
and report compliance to the
court:TheSChasheldinCha-
meli Devi versus the state of
UP that the right to shelter is
a fundamental right available
to every citizen and it was
read into Article 21 of Funda-
mental Rights and Article 39
of Directive Principles of
State Policy of Constitution
of India as encompassing
within its ambit, the right to
shelter to make the right to
life more meaningful.
Isitnotcommonknowledge
that an overwhelming major-
ity of those who live in the
most precarious conditions in
Malin Bastis or JJ clusters be-
long to the BoP
, and do not
havethewherewithaltoowna
roof over their head? The liv-
ing conditions in the slums –
whether authorised or unau-
thorised – are not such that if
a person can afford to, she will
not move out. Is it not obvious
that the land on which their
dwelling unit is built is an en-
croachment? If this be case,
then threat of removal actu-
ally makes the occupants of
these unauthorised colonies
‘electoral fodder’ for parties?
As the occupation is not legal,
the threat of eviction, coupled
with prospects of regularisa-
tion keep voters in a state of
permanent dependency
.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
O
However, if, and only if
political parties , cutting
across party lines evolve a
consensus on the Right to
Shelter will we be able to
move ahead and find
innovative financial, legal
and technology packages to
address the issue .After all , if
we harbour the ambition of
emerging as a global power
with a five trillion-dollar
economy by 2025, and forty
trillion by 2047 , we will
have to factor in the
burgeoning need and
demand for ecologically
sustainable, financially
stable, culturally enriching
habitations in which
children and women have
amenities to ensure their
development as per the SDGs
to which India is a
signatory.

New Delhi (ANI): With

forecast that the Indian
economy would cross
USD 5 trillion by 2026-27,
senior Congress leader

USD 5 trillion GDP ap-
pears to be a case of
”shifting goalposts” as
the original target year
was 2023-24.
Speaking at the fi-
nance ministry’s iconic
week celebrations of
’Azadi ka Amrit Mahot-
sav’, Nageswaran had
said last week that IMF
has forecast the Indian
economy to cross USD 5
trillion by 2026-27. In-
dia’s GDP in dollar
terms has already
crossed USD 3 trillion.
Reacting to the remarks,

EVMs are not designed for the
voting system of Prez election
The EVM is an aggregator of votes and under the system of proportional representation
New Delhi: Ever won-
dered why electronic
voting machines, used
in four LS elections and
127 assembly polls since
2004, are not deployed
in polls to elect the Pres-
ident and VP of India.
The EVMs are based
on a technology where
they work as an aggre-
gator of votes in direct
elections such as the LS
and state assemblies.
Voters press the button
against the name of the
candidate of their
choice and the one who
bags the maximum
number of votes is de-
clared elected. But the
election of the Presi-
dent is held in accord-
ance with the system of
proportional represen-
tation by means of sin-
gle transferable vote.
The EVMs, officials ex-
plained, are not de-
signed to register this
system of voting. The
EVM is an aggregator
of votes and under the
system of proportional
representation. In other
words, a different type
of EVM would be need.
Subsequently, in 1989,
Parliament amended
the Representation of
the People Act, 1951.

New Delhi: The Delhi

plea by CPI(M) leaders
Brinda Karat and KM
Tiwari challenging the
trial court’s refusal to
direct registration of
FIR against Union Min-
ister Anurag Thakur
and his BJP colleague
and MP Pravesh Verma
for their alleged hate
speeches over anti-CAA
protest at Shaheen Bagh
here.
Justice Chandra Dha-
ri Singh had reserved
the order on March 25
on the petition which
claimed that an FIR
shouldbelodgedagainst
the leaders as a cognis-
able offence is made out
against the leaders and
that they were only ask-
ing the police to investi-
gate the matter.
The petitioners had
alleged in their com-
plaint before the trial
court that “Thakur and
Verma had sought to in-
cite people as a result of
which three incidents
of firing took place at
two different protest
sites in Delhi”.
First India Bureau
Udhampur: Union
Minister Dr Jitendra
Singh on Sunday said
that PM Modi personi-
fies the true essence of
democracy, wherein
common man from a
humble background
can rise to the highest
echelons on the basis of
sheer merit and peo-
ple’s popular support.
Addressing a BJP
meeting, Dr Jitendra
Singh said, the true es-
sence of democracy is
that whenever a new
child is born, regard-
less of whatever is the
social or economic sta-
tus or lineage of the
household, the mother
should have the confi-
dence to dream that in a
democratic order, even
her child has the oppor-
tunity to achieve the
highest position in hier-
archy. If that be so,
Modi’s rise to the posi-
tion of PM restored the
faith of common people
in democratic strength
and the values of India.
At the same time, it
also marked the end of
dynasticism that had
resulted in family rule
of successive genera-
tions at the Centre. Dr
Jitendra Singh noted
that the public welfare
schemes and pro-
grammes introduced by
Modi during last 8 years
for benefit of deprived
sections of society are
in fact redemption of
six decades of struggle
by BJP for establishing
a governance system
based on the principle
of “Appeasement to
None Justice to All”.

Mumbai: “The situa-
tion is not in our favour
these days... For some
time you carry out your
work from inside the
central jail, do not wor-
ry about anything,”
Nana Patekar told Ajay
Devgan in the 2005 Bol-
lywood flick ‘
Apaharan’.
The movie in the be-
ginning also mentions
that all characters and
incidents in the film are
fictitious and any re-
semblance to any per-
son -- be it living or dead
-- is purely coincidental.
The public believed the
director’s version as
such things can only
happen in reel life, and
not in the real world.
However, incidents like
the killing of acclaimed
Punjabi singer Sidhu
Moosewala have made
the people rethink
whether the movie was
just a figment of imagi-
nation of the script
writer or a reality
.
Soon after the brutal
murder of Moosewala,
Punjab Police had made
apprehension that
jailed gangster Law-
rence Bishnoi could be
behind it. Since then,
the Special Cell of Delhi
Police took the custody
of Bishnoi, who was at
that time lodged in the
high-security Tihar Jail
in a MCOCA (Maha-
rashtra Control of Or-
ganised Crime Act)
case.
He is allegedly in-
volved in more than
five-dozen criminal cas-
es lodged against him in
Delhi, Haryana, Ra-
jasthan and Punjab and
had once even threat-
ened to kill Bollywood
star Salman Khan.
While reports kept
coming everyday re-
garding the involve-
ment of Bishnoi in
Moosewala’s killing, the
police could not finding
anything concrete in
the matter to divulge
the information with
the media. It was also
reported that Lawrence
Bishnoi was not cooper-
ating with the police.
On June 2, Sachin Bish-
noi, a nephew of Law-
rence claimed responsi-
bility for Moosewala’s
murder while speaking
to a news channel. He
claimed that Mossewa-
la’s murder was a re-
venge for the killing of
Youth Akali Dal leader
Vicky Middukhera in
August last year.

New Delhi: AICC gen-

aide of the Nehru-Gan-
dhi family- Ajay Maken
- lost the Rajya Sabha
election and with it any
hopes of sitting in the
hallowed Upper House
of the Indian Parlia-
ment is also lost.
BJP supported inde-
pendent candidate
Karthikeya Sharma de-
feated him by a very
narrow margin in a
close contest. Voting
was held on Friday and
after hours of drama,
the results were de-
clared at around 2.30
am. After settling vari-
ous disputes, the count-
ing of votes started at
1.30 pm. Congress lead-
ers started celebrating
as soon as the Election
Commission ordered
the counting of votes to
begin. Because the elec-
tion officer had rejected
the demand of BJP to
reject two votes of Con-
gress, so, Congress lead-
ers were confident that
Maken got 30 out of 31
votes. But when the re-
sults were announced, it
was found that he got
only 29 votes and the
vote of a Congress MLA
became invalid. Kul-
deep Bishnoi, a Con-
gress MLA, had already
voted for the BJP on the
basis of conscience. He
followed the rules of Ra-
jya Sabha voting and
showed it to Congress’s
election in-charge Vivek
Bansal by voting for
BJP. So his vote could
not be cancelled. De-
spite this, the Congress
wasconfidentthatithad
garnered 30 votes. The
surprising thing is that
the Congress does not
know about the one vote
which has been
canceled.
So, now there is a dis-
pute as to whose fault
led to Maken’s Maken
electoral loss. Leaders
close to Bhupinder Sin-
gh Hooda say that all the
fault lies with the Con-
gress high command,
while on the other hand,
leaders close to the high
command are claiming
in the media that Hooda
could not handle or
couldnotarrangeoneor
two extra votes. Those
closetoHoodaareclaim-
ing of two mistakes of
the high command. The
first is the fault of Vivek
Bansal, the in-charge,
who did not even know
which MLA’s vote was
invalid. All the MLAs
cast their vote by show-
ing him their choice, but
he could not understand
which MLA did what
mistake, due to which
the vote may become in-
valid. The second mis-
take is that of Rahul
Gandhi, who did not
give time to meet Kul-
deep Bishnoi.
On the other hand,
leaders close to the high
command and the anti-
Hooda lobby says that
the Congress lost be-
cause of overconfidence
of Hooda father-son as
both did not arrange for
a single additional vote.
Even knowing that
Bishnoi would cross
vote, the duo did not try
to persuade him. If
Bishnoi was not being
persuaded, an addition-
al vote should have been
arranged. In that sce-
nario, independent Bal-
raj Kundu could have
been persuaded. Inde-
pendent legislator Rake-
sh Daulatabad and IN-
LD’s Abhay Chautala
voted for the BJP sup-
ported candidate. How-
ever, it is a matter of
satisfaction for Hooda
that he managed to keep
29 Cong MLAs united
but the bad thing is that
he could not pass in the
very first examination.

ment AK Gupta. Ge-
hlot’s actions proved
that he is one of the
trusted officer’s of the
CM. Although in the
meeting, the presenta-
tion was given by Prin-
cipal Secretary
Bhaskar A Sawant, but
the main role in the
meeting was executed
by AK Gupta. Even CM
also kept him at ‘centre-
point’ and held all dis-
cussions with him.
Notably, retired
RSEB Engineer, who
has served as Discom
MD, was appointed by
the Gehlot government
as Advisor of the En-
ergy Department and
Director of all seven
power companies. How-
ever, till April 2022,
when the reins of En-
ergy Department were
in the hands of ACS
Subodh Agarwal, he
was ‘all in one’ in the
Vidyut Bhawan and
even CM used to give
preference to Agarwal
and Gupta had a limit-
ed role in Energy De-
partment before CM.
But as Subodh Agar-
wal was removed from
Vidhyut Bhawan
through the transfer
list of April 13 and
Bhaskar Sawant and T
Ravikant were given re-
sponsibilities, the move
also ensured that AK
Gupta comes out of his
‘confinement’ and be-
came a new ‘power cen-
tre’. Till the transfer list
made changes, Gupta
had just one room, but
ten days ago, he was
given a huge retinue.
When in 2020, Gupta
was MD of Jaipur Dis-
com, at that time, a jun-
ior engineer in his per-
sonal cell used to be his
‘close aide’. But when
CMO learnt about his
‘activities’, he was im-
mediately removed on
CMO’s orders. But now
AK Gupta has brought
back his ‘aide’ and he
will now be accorded a
government bungalow
as well. Gupta has is-
sued a written order to
all seven companies
that any internal order
within the company
should be forwarded to
his office as well and he
should also be advised,
well in advance, about
meetings.
Word is that the two
IAS - Bhaskar A Sawant
and T Ravikant - are
novices, if compared to
the knowledge and ex-
perience of AK Gupta.
Moreover, the three
MDs of Discoms are too
junior to Gupta and
therefore he is a ‘heavy-
weight’ when it comes
to working of the Vidy-
ut Bhawan. Therefore,
in meetings held at the
level of CM, Ministers
and CS, Gupta is the
centre-point and in
meeting held last Satur-
day, CM stamped Gup-
ta’s supremacy
.
Interestingly, when
Gehlot came to the
CMO after forming
government in Decem-
ber 2018, Gupta was im-
mediately made MD of
Jaipur Discom, but ow-
ing to various com-
plaints by the MLAs’,
in January 2021, he
was transferred and
Naveen Arora was po-
sitioned in his place.
But the winds of
change blew quickly
and in February 2022,
Gupta was re-called
with much fanfare and
appointed as the Advi-
sor and Director of 7
companies, thereby ef-
fectively became the
‘all-in one’ in place of
Subodh Agarwal. He is
always present in the
meetings of companies
as their Director and
plays an important
role in their function-
ing and their future.

Jaipur: ED’s notices to
Sonia Rahul Gandhi
on National Herald case
is heating up state poli-
tics. PCC will organise
a foot march today to
ED office to register its
protest. Meanwhile, on
Sunday, Congress Na-
tional Spokesperson
Gourav Vallabh GS
Dotasra at a press con-
ference at PCC office,
stressed that they will
“neither be afraid, nor
bow down or tolerate”
such actions. “Rs 90 cr
loan to Young India
Limited in equity isn’t
legally wrong. Neither
did the money go to any
leader of Congress.
Then what’s the mean-
ing of ED notice?. This
is an abuse of constitu-
tional institutions
against Congress lead-
ers,” PCC Chief Dotas-
ra said. AICC National
Spokesperson Gourav
Vallabh said, “Congress
gave Rs 90 cr to the
Newspaper when it in-
curred losses, which
was shown in books too.
Can’t a political party
give loan? ECI has said
that any party can give
loan to anyone. Thus,
stir will be held by Con-
gress at ED offices
across country today
.”

Centre of Ayurveda
medicine, which is go-
ing to be built on 52
bighas of land in
Bhagal village of
Fatehpur gram pan-
chayat in Khamanor
block of the district,
was done on Sunday by
CM Ashok Gehlot. No-
tably, CM Gehlot and
Assembly Speaker Dr
CP Joshi reached two
hours late than the
scheduled time.
CM Gehlot was pre-
sented with a turban
and Ikalai by the Speak-
er of the Legislative As-
sembly, Dr CP Joshi
along with a statue of
Maharana Pratap. In-
terestingly, some de-
mands were also made
for area’s development.
On this, CM Gehlot
smiled and said, “Who
can avoid what the
Speaker of the Assem-
bly Dr Joshi ji has
said.”
After laying founda-
tion stone of Wellness
Centre with the help of
Gayatri family on the
initiative of Speaker Dr
Joshi, Gehlot said that
the vision of a healthy
Rajasthan would come
true. CM praised Dr CP
Joshi saying, “I have 40
years old friendship
with Dr Joshi. Its not
possible to not pay heed
to what he says. When I
became CM for the first
time 20 years ago, Dr
Joshi was with me and
Bageri Naka project
was started hundreds
of villages are drinking
water. This is Speaker’s
visionary thinking.”
CM Gehlot announced
to allot 4 hectares of
land free of cost for
Gayatri Shaktipeeth
and upgrade 4 upper
primary schools. He
also announced that Rs
30 crore would be sanc-
tioned from DMFT fund
for first phase of Well-
ness Centre.
Gandhis in...
Speaking on ED notice
to Sonia Gandhi, Gehlot
said, “Rahul Sonia
Gandhi have given a
message that we won’t
compromise. Will work
on ideology, there are
pros and cons in democ-
racy
. BJP wants to end
opposition CBI, In-
come Tax, ED, Judiciary
are under pressure. If
you want to do some
work being fair, you
can’t do it, such is na-
tion’s situation. No one
knows in which direc-
tion it will go. The time
has come, every Indian
should leave the Hindu-
Muslim-Christianrheto-
ric and think in nation’s
interest.”
“Every Indian should
think in country
.’s inter-
ests. Riots are being in-
stigated everywhere.
Democracy is in danger
today
. Now Centre’s tar-
get is Rajasthan, which
is the biggest state in the
country
. We are Hindus,
we are proud but we
should respect other re-
ligions too. Congress
sufferedmanysacrifices
in 76 years and new gen-
eration should read his-
tory
,” he said.
On BJP considering
Gehlot as opposition, he
said, “I am the servant
of Rajasthan. I have told
Raj people Main Thansu
Door Nahi. I have to
serve the state, which
hasbeenentrustedtome
by HighCommand. The
budget presented is dis-
cussed in the country
.
The targets that I have
made have to be fulfilled
through the budget.”
Gehlot also spoke
about presidential polls
stressed that without
Congress the opposition
can’t do anything.
“Those who are creating
the atmosphere, they
should understand that
Congress has the most
votes. When they know
this, why then are they
making a joke? They
should rather take eve-
ryonealong.Anyonecan
take the initiative, but
take all the parties
along, only then a good
and favourable result
will come. If the opposi-
tion is united then this
election cannot be won.
Opposition parties
should give a message to
the politics of the coun-
try
. Don’t care about
winning the election but
there should be a mes-
sage that the opposition
of the country is united.
Don’t miss the opportu-
nity, this is a golden
chance,” he stressed.
On opposition party
meetingcalledbyMama-
ta Banerjee on Monday,
Gehlot said that he had
no clue that he was in
NewDelhitoexpresshis
solidarity with Rahul
Gandhi. “There must be
some conscience. I am
thinkingof seekingtime
to talk to director of In-
comeTax,CBDTandED
and tell them that these
institutionsarereputed,
but look at what opin-
ions are being made in
the country about them.
Being the CM, its my re-
sponsibility to tell. Even
without arguments they
call to harass. Everyone
knows this. Media used
to make any issue dur-
ing Congress rule and
we wondered what peo-
ple would say
. Thinking
of this, many ministers
had resigned. But these
(BJPleaders)areshame-
less people. History will
not forgive Modi and
Amit Shah. Public will
teach everyone a les-
son,” he said.
Yogesh Sharma
Jaipur: For long there
has been a rhetoric cre-
ated, by vested interests
in Congress party and
opposition, that CM
Ashok Gehlot’s term
doesn’t bid well for Con-
gress in elections. How-
ever, nothing can be
further from the truth.
Case in point being Ge-
hlot’s third term,
wherein, he has single
handedly, through his
strategy and manage-
ment, ‘outcasted’ the
BJP.
Since the 2018 assem-
bly elections in Ra-
jasthan, BJP has been
losing in all major elec-
tions. In Rajya Sabha
elections held on 4 seats
in Rajasthan recently,
Congress won 3 seats
while BJP could win
only 1 seat. In this elec-
tion, 2 seats of Congress
and 1 seat of BJP were
confirmed. There was
competition for the
fourth seat, but BJP lost
to Congress in electoral
strategy
. BJP-backed in-
dependent candidate
Subhash Chandra was
defeated and cross vot-
ing also worried the
party
.
Now the assembly
elections 2023 and Lok
Sabha elections 2024 are
before the BJP leader-
ship. According to
sources, some tough
and big decisions can be
taken by the party soon
so that the situation can
be rectified before the
general election be-
cause in the last 4 years,
a big failure of BJP has
come to the fore in the
elections. On the other
hand, despite being the
opposition party in
Panchayat Raj elec-
tions, BJP made 18 dis-
trict chiefs and Con-
gress was reduced to 15
district chiefs.
In the Rajya Sabha
elections held on 10
June 2022, 3 candidates
of Congress won and
only 1 candidate of
BJP won while the
BJP-backed independ-
ent candidate was de-
feated. Congress’s
Mukul Wasnik got 42
votes, Randeep Surjew-
ala 43 and Pramod Ku-
mar Tiwari 41 votes,
which includes 1 vote
of BJP’s Shobharani
Kushwaha. On the ba-
sis of this, he could
win in the first prefer-
ence. BJP candidate
Ghanshyam Tiwari got
43 votes, while Inde-
pendent candidate Dr
Subhash Chandra got
only 30 votes and lost.
