eepa Malik
talks about
her meet-
ing with
PM Modi
post her re-
turn from
Rio Para-
lympics in 2016. She re-
calls how in her career
of 10 years and years of
winning medals, it was
the very first time when
the Prime Minister of
India had invited her to
be part of a Meet and
Greet ceremony
. PM
Modi called her by her
name and said “Deepa,
in all your lectures,
speeches and interac-
tion with other players,
it is your positivity that
comes to the fore. I my-
self watch your videos
many a time and I feel
positive.” I believe noth-
ing can make for a more
memorable
moment
than when the Prime
Minister himself ac-
knowledges your inner
strength and courage,
says Deepa.
It was after Tokyo
2020 Paralympics
when all the ath-
letes met Prime
Minister Modi af-
ter returning
home with 19
medals. I had
participated not
just as a sport-
sperson but as a
team leader too in
those Paralym-
pics. Modiji supported,
blessed and encouraged
all the athletes before
they left for the event.
The medals, which we
won through Modiji’s
support and our hard
work were instrumen-
tal in changing the way
people perceive disabil-
ities. PM Modi’s en-
couragement
paved the
way for Paralympics
to
be treated like main-
stream sports in India.
He met all of us with
great love, affection and
appreciated our efforts.
He took time out for us
generously
from his
tight schedule- a PM’s
time is always invalua-
ble - and those golden
moments will remain
itched forever in the
hearts and minds of
our young athletes. The
best part about this was
that PM Modi had de-
tailed information
of
each and every player.
He just wasn’t aware of
the personal lives of the
athletes but he also fol-
lowed them religiously
throughout their Tokyo
tour so much so that he
knew what exactly the
players were doing at
what time, what their
likes and dislikes are,
much like a family
member would do. This
differentiate
s PM Modi
from all other leaders
India has ever seen- his
keen interest in people,
their problems and as-
pirations and a burning
desire to help everyone
reach their goals. Such
encourageme
nt coming
from the PM completely
changes the psyche of
the athletes and they
are filled with the
fervour of patriot-
ism, the desire to
bring home a
medal!
It is obvi-
ousthatwhen
the PM him-
self is interact-
ing with play-
ers, there is this
inevitable focus
on governance.
The players share
n u m e r o u s
thoughts with him and
they include feedback
the facilities, a look into
their problems, the pro-
cess of preparing for
tournaments
, and when
our PM takes cogni-
zance of such issues, it
does not only encourage
the players but it helps
in bringing the country
together and transform-
ing the mindset towards
the disabled.
I thank our PM for
mentioningmyachieve-
ments in his Sept 25,
2016 Mann Ki Baat
when he said that he
will never forget my
words I spoke after
I won the silver
medal in Rio.
I had said
“ w i t h
this medal I have de-
feated my handicap”. I
believe Modiji found it
energizing and I thank
him for recognizing me
for all my efforts.
I clearly recall one
very special moment
with PM Modi when I
experienced
how much
he cares about his coun-
trymen. It was a recep-
tion on August 15 at
Rashtrapati
Bhawan
and I had the honour to
be a part of it too. When
PM Modi came towards
us, he began by interact-
ing one by one with all
the athletes. We already
know how well-versed
he is at all times with
the personal and profes-
sional details of each
and every player. At the
same time, his aura is so
magnetic, that people
tend to flock to him nat-
urally
.Asheapproached
me, suddenly a lot of
people came towards us
to greet him. In their ex-
citement, they some-
how overlooked the fact
that I was sitting there,
at the centre of the com-
motion. And all of them
starting reaching out to
the PM over me which
was a cause of discom-
fort for me.
But then the most un-
expected happened. PM
Modi himself, with both
hishands,createdakind
of barrier around me as
if trying to shield me in
that commotion.
And
then, being the beloved
brother of every woman
in the country
, he placed
hishandonmybackand
told everyone to be cau-
tious. He said “Deepa
has undergone several
surgeries and her back
has innumerable
stitch-
es. Please do not lean
over her. She will get
hurt.” At that moment,
tears swelled in my eyes
when I heard the PM say
these words so full of
empathy, compassion
and concern. I felt it was
totallyremarkablethata
he should even remem-
ber that Deepa is strug-
gling with a spinal cord
injury and that the
Prime Minister should
try and protect her from
bodily harm.
I was touched and
overwhelmed
by this ex-
pression of concern for
me by PM Modi. I have
had the privilege of
meeting and interacting
with PM Modi on nu-
merous occasions over a
decade. In fact there was
one instance when he
himself wheeled my
wheelchair to the stage
during a programme!
I
got a call from PMO one
day that said “Deepaji
you need to reach
Ahmedabad
for an
event.” It was at a very
shortnoticebutformeit
was a matter of great
pride and honour as I
was being invited at the
inauguration
of Trans-
Stadia, which is one of
the most advanced inte-
grated multi-purpos
e
stadiums in the country
.
Some of the finest ath-
letesof thecountrywere
invited to this event but
PM Modi came up to all
of us and said “This line
up of great achievers
wouldneverbecomplete
without a woman, and
without a disabled.”
And then he wheeled me
onto the stage prior to
his address. What made
theeveningmorememo-
rable was that during
histhreeminutespeech,
PM Modi again ad-
dressed the youth of the
country and said that if
someonereallyneedsin-
spiration to be able to
overcomethechallenges
of life, he or she must
definitely read Deepa’s
biography once. She is a
living example of grit
and resilience.
That day to this mo-
ment, it has been my
endeavour to live up to
the faith, concern and
respect PM Modi har-
bours for me. I would
never want that trust to
break and at the same
time I want to continue
to contribute in the
making of my New In-
dia that cares for its
women and its disabled.

KEJRIWAL MEETS LG OVER MONSOON PREPARATIONS
Depts asked to use
800 recharge pits
Departments
were also
directed to
convert the
dysfunctional
tube wells
into water
recharging,
retention pits
After holding a review
meeting on the ongoing
monsoon preparedness,
Delhi Chief Minis-
ter Arvind Kejriwal and
Lieutenant Governor
Vinay Saxena asked the
concerned departments
to operationalise re-
charge pits, convert dys-
functional tube wells
into water recharging
and retention pits.
According to informa-
tion shared by the Raj
Niwas, recharge pits
situated at around 800
locations, owned by dif-
ferent agencies, were
identified by DJB. Civic
agencies like PWD and
MCD would undertake
the work themselves
while the DJB would do
the work for other agen-
cies.
The departments
were also directed to
convert the dysfunction-
al/abandoned and
sealed tube wells into
water recharging and
retention pits. Besides,
directions were also is-
sued to dredge and deep-
en around 700 water
bodies to a depth of at
least 2 metres and the Ir-
rigation and Flood Con-
trol (IFC) department
was directed to make
the catchment area free
of encroachment.
New Delhi (PTI): In a
bid to prevent fires at
dumpsites and the subse-
quent deterioration of
air quality in the nation-
al capital, Delhi’s pollu-
tion control body has di-
rected the Municipal
Corporation of Delhi
(MCD) to ensure that or-
ganic waste from slaugh-
terhouses and fish mar-
kets do not end up in the
landfill sites.
It has also asked the
MCD to ensure that in-
dustrial as well as elec-
tronic waste, including
lithium batteries, is not
dumped at the landfill
sites. The organic waste
dumped in a landfill pro-
duces methane when it
rots. In hot weather con-
ditions, methane catches
fire spontaneously and
the blaze spreads as it
feeds on combustible ma-
terial like textiles and
plastics.
In an order issued on
June 10, the pollution
control body asked the
MCD to install methane
gas detectors (on down-
wind side) at the dump-
sites so that areas with
high methane concentra-
tion can be identified and
preventive action be un-
dertaken.
“Further temperature
at windrows to be moni-
tored with non-contact
infrared thermometer
(as used for monitoring
human body tempera-
ture under COVID cir-
cumstances) and records
be maintained for any
major deviations. The
temperature is to be in
the range of 35 degrees
Celsius to 59 degrees Cel-
sius. Treated leachate/
water to be sprayed on
the waste when rise in
temperature is ob-
served,” the order read.
Delhi has reported five
massive fires at its land-
fill sites this year — three
at Ghazipur and two at
Bhalswa.
The fire that broke out
at Bhalswa on April 26
kept on raging for more
than 10 days, exacerbat-
ing the already polluted
air in nearby areas.
Respite from heat is in
store for Delhi with a
western disturbance
likely to bring rain to
the city over the next
six days with light rain
and gusty winds expect-
ed Wednesday evening,
according to the India
Meteorological Depart-
ment (IMD).
The maximum tem-
perature is expected to
be around 40 degrees
Celsius. On Wednesday
morning, the minimum
temperature was re-
corded as 26.2 degrees
Celsius, two degrees be-
low normal. Over the
past three days, the
minimum temperature
was over 30 degrees Cel-
sius.
Light rain and thun-
dershowers are expect-
ed in the city till Tues-
day next week, the IMD
forecast said, with the
maximum tempera-
ture expected to dip to
34 degrees Celsius by
Monday.
On Tuesday, the max-
imum temperature was
recorded as 38.9 de-
grees Celsius, normal
for this time of the
year. The maximum
temperature had been
above normal for sev-
eral weeks before Tues-
day.
New Delhi (PTI): Sev-
eral market and trader
associations in the capi-
tal have expressed hope
that the ‘Whole shopping
festival’ envisioned by
the Delhi government
will boost sales and help
in bringing business
back to the pre-Covid
level.
The traders said they
are optimistic that such
a festival will also help in
increasing employment
opportunities.
On Monday, Deputy
Chief Minister Manish
Sisodia announced that
the Delhi government
will organise a ‘Whole-
sale Shopping Festival’
to celebrate the iconic
wholesale markets in the
capital and to give them
a new identity across the
world.
Addressing the repre-
sentatives from whole-
sale markets, Sisodia had
said, “This is a unique
feature of Delhi that it
has wholesale markets
for almost everything in-
cluding textiles, elec-
tronics,spices,andbooks
etc. Our aim is to pro-
mote the business of
these wholesale markets
and increase employ-
ment opportunities in
these markets.”
New Delhi (PTI):
The University
Grants Commission
(UGC) has asked all
universities and affili-
ated colleges to en-
sure the early nomi-
nation of ‘Gender
Champions’ from
among students who
will lead efforts to
make campuses
more inclusive and
spread gender sensiti-
sation.
The apex regulato-
ry body for higher ed-
ucation in India has
also asked the institu-
tions to fill up the on-
line compliance de-
tails.
“In order to in-
crease the outreach
for creating an envi-
ronment that fosters
equal treatment, the
government envisag-
es Gender Champions
in all educational in-
stitutions across the
country as responsi-
ble leaders,” UGC Sec-
retary Rajnish Jain
said in a letter to Vice
Chancellors and col-
lege principals.
Gender Champions
can be both boys and
girls above 16 years of
age enrolled in educa-
tional institutions
and will facilitate an
enabling environ-
ment within their
schools, colleges, and
academic institutions
where girls are treat-
ed with dignity and
respect, he said.
New Delhi (PTI): Ob-
serving that an individ-
ual cannot have the
might to fight the hefty
corporations, the Delhi
High Court has said
that the Municipal Cor-
poration of Delhi as a
public body should ex-
ercise restraint and
caution while institut-
ing litigations as the
courts are already over-
burdened.
It said the civic body
should come forward to
aid and assist in the dis-
pensation of justice.
The observations
were made by Justice
Dinesh Kumar Sharma
while dealing with peti-
tions by the corporation
against a Labour court
order asking it to file a
reply along with the rel-
evant service record of
the workmen seeking
certain entitlements
and benefits from it in
terms of the Industrial
Disputes Act.

ACTION PLAN
ATTENDEES
New Delhi (PTI): A
head constable has writ-
ten to Delhi Police com-
missioner Rakesh Astha-
na urging him to take
steps towards road safety
and ensure that police
personnel follow traffic
rules. Sandeep Kumar
who is currently posted
at the Patel Nagar police
station of the Central
district, said he had
learnt through an RTI
that 228 Delhi Police per-
sonnel from various
units up to the rank of
ACP were killed in road
accidents from 2010 to
2021. Kumar also men-
tioned that he is injured
twice in road accidents
at Daryganj and Moti Na-
gar and since then has
been involved in raising
awareness about road
safety and use of hel-
mets.
“It is requested that
important steps should
be taken so that police
personnel adhere to traf-
fic rules and everyone
remains safe and follow-
ing the ideals of Shanti,
sewage and nyay, we can
fulfil our responsibilities
and make Delhi a pleas-
ant place,” Kumar said.
Claiming that the num-
bers of police personnel
who died is more than
those killed by terrorists
or by criminals, Kumar
in the letter written ear-
lier this month, said the
majority of those who
died were constables.
The policeman also cited
a 2021 order by the then
special commissioner of
police, Traffic, Mukesh
Chander, flagging viola-
tions of traffic rules by
police personnel.

THE COMMENT CAME HOURS AHEAD OF THE OPPOSITION’S BIG MEETING IN THE

New Delhi(ANI): Con-

Prime Minister Naren-

The comment came
hours ahead of the Op-

Mr Kharge also asked
if the government will
accept if the Opposi-

troversial” candidate’s
name.”I spoke to Ra-
jnath Singh, he said
that the PM wants to

ing in Delhi to discuss a
united fight against the
BJP and its allies in the
election for a new Pres-
ident.But as the count-
down for the meeting
began, several parties
made it clear that they
will stay away. While
some chose to skip the
meeting in their at-

from the Congress and

presence of the Con-
gress for their decision.

Muzaffarpur (ANI):
Unhappy over the gov-
ernment’s Agnipath
scheme to induct sol-
diers on short-term con-
tract into the armed
forces, aspirants pro-
tested in Bihar on
Wednesday, blocking a
highway in Muzaffar-
pur and railway tracks
in Buxar.
They termed the
scheme, announced on
Tuesday, detrimental to
their long-term pros-
pects because only up to
25% of the recruits or
Agniveers under the
scheme may get regular
commission. “Bharti do
ya arthi do was among
the slogans as the pro-
testing young men
burnt tyres and hoard-
ings in heaps on NH- 28,
which links Lucknow
to Barauni in Bihar, in
Muzaffarpur.
Similar scenes were
witnessed at Chakkar
Chowk near the city’s
railway station, merely
half a kilometre from
Chakkar Maidan where
army recruitment ral-
lies are held.The pro-
testers said they were
waiting for regular re-
cruitment rallies to re-
sume after two years
but were given this
scheme instead. Regu-
lar recruitment rallies
were stopped around
two years ago after the
onset of the corona,but
have not resumed.

ment and regulatory
affairs). The applica-
tion to the DCGI by
Singh mentions the an-
tibody response of the

types in all dose and
age groups.
The vaccine is ex-
pected to be launched
in the market before
the end of 2022, sources
told. The qHPV will be
India’s first indige-
nously curated vaccine
against cervical cancer.
To ensure its early
availability in the

of India has applied for
market authorization
after completing the

eepa Malik
talks about
her meet-
ing with
PM Modi
post her re-
turn from
Rio Para-
lympics in 2016. She re-
calls how in her career
of 10 years and years of
winning medals, it was
the very first time when
the Prime Minister of
India had invited her to
be part of a Meet and
Greet ceremony
. PM
Modi called her by her
name and said “Deepa,
in all your lectures,
speeches and interac-
tion with other players,
it is your positivity that
comes to the fore. I my-
self watch your videos
many a time and I feel
positive.” I believe noth-
ing can make for a more
memorable moment
than when the Prime
Minister himself ac-
knowledges your inner
strength and courage,
says Deepa.
It was after Tokyo
2020 Paralympics
when all the ath-
letes met Prime
Minister Modi af-
ter returning
home with 19
medals. I had
participated not
just as a sport-
sperson but as a
team leader too in
those Paralym-
pics. Modiji supported,
blessed and encouraged
all the athletes before
they left for the event.
The medals, which we
won through Modiji’s
support and our hard
work were instrumen-
tal in changing the way
people perceive disabil-
ities. PM Modi’s en-
couragement paved the
way for Paralympics to
be treated like main-
stream sports in India.
He met all of us with
great love, affection and
appreciated our efforts.
He took time out for us
generously from his
tight schedule- a PM’s
time is always invalua-
ble - and those golden
moments will remain
itched forever in the
hearts and minds of
our young athletes. The
best part about this was
that PM Modi had de-
tailed information of
each and every player.
He just wasn’t aware of
the personal lives of the
athletes but he also fol-
lowed them religiously
throughout their Tokyo
tour so much so that he
knew what exactly the
players were doing at
what time, what their
likes and dislikes are,
much like a family
member would do. This
differentiates PM Modi
from all other leaders
India has ever seen- his
keen interest in people,
their problems and as-
pirations and a burning
desire to help everyone
reach their goals. Such
encouragement coming
from the PM completely
changes the psyche of
the athletes and they
are filled with the
fervour of patriot-
ism, the desire to
bring home a
medal!
It is obvi-
ousthatwhen
the PM him-
self is interact-
ing with play-
ers, there is this
inevitable focus
on governance.
The players share
n u m e r o u s
thoughts with him and
they include feedback
the facilities, a look into
their problems, the pro-
cess of preparing for
tournaments, and when
our PM takes cogni-
zance of such issues, it
does not only encourage
the players but it helps
in bringing the country
together and transform-
ing the mindset towards
the disabled.
I thank our PM for
mentioningmyachieve-
ments in his Sept 25,
2016 Mann Ki Baat
when he said that he
will never forget my
words I spoke after
I won the silver
medal in Rio.
I had said
“ w i t h
this medal I have de-
feated my handicap”. I
believe Modiji found it
energizing and I thank
him for recognizing me
for all my efforts.
I clearly recall one
very special moment
with PM Modi when I
experienced how much
he cares about his coun-
trymen. It was a recep-
tion on August 15 at
Rashtrapati Bhawan
and I had the honour to
be a part of it too. When
PM Modi came towards
us, he began by interact-
ing one by one with all
the athletes. We already
know how well-versed
he is at all times with
the personal and profes-
sional details of each
and every player. At the
same time, his aura is so
magnetic, that people
tend to flock to him nat-
urally
.Asheapproached
me, suddenly a lot of
people came towards us
to greet him. In their ex-
citement, they some-
how overlooked the fact
that I was sitting there,
at the centre of the com-
motion. And all of them
starting reaching out to
the PM over me which
was a cause of discom-
fort for me.
But then the most un-
expected happened. PM
Modi himself, with both
hishands,createdakind
of barrier around me as
if trying to shield me in
that commotion. And
then, being the beloved
brother of every woman
in the country
, he placed
hishandonmybackand
told everyone to be cau-
tious. He said “Deepa
has undergone several
surgeries and her back
has innumerable stitch-
es. Please do not lean
over her. She will get
hurt.” At that moment,
tears swelled in my eyes
when I heard the PM say
these words so full of
empathy, compassion
and concern. I felt it was
totallyremarkablethata
he should even remem-
ber that Deepa is strug-
gling with a spinal cord
injury and that the
Prime Minister should
try and protect her from
bodily harm.
I was touched and
overwhelmed by this ex-
pression of concern for
me by PM Modi. I have
had the privilege of
meeting and interacting
with PM Modi on nu-
merous occasions over a
decade. In fact there was
one instance when he
himself wheeled my
wheelchair to the stage
during a programme! I
got a call from PMO one
day that said “Deepaji
you need to reach
Ahmedabad for an
event.” It was at a very
shortnoticebutformeit
was a matter of great
pride and honour as I
was being invited at the
inauguration of Trans-
Stadia, which is one of
the most advanced inte-
grated multi-purpose
stadiums in the country
.
Some of the finest ath-
letesof thecountrywere
invited to this event but
PM Modi came up to all
of us and said “This line
up of great achievers
wouldneverbecomplete
without a woman, and
without a disabled.”
And then he wheeled me
onto the stage prior to
his address. What made
theeveningmorememo-
rable was that during
histhreeminutespeech,
PM Modi again ad-
dressed the youth of the
country and said that if
someonereallyneedsin-
spiration to be able to
overcomethechallenges
of life, he or she must
definitely read Deepa’s
biography once. She is a
living example of grit
and resilience.
That day to this mo-
ment, it has been my
endeavour to live up to
the faith, concern and
respect PM Modi har-
bours for me. I would
never want that trust to
break and at the same
time I want to continue
to contribute in the
making of my New In-
dia that cares for its
women and its disabled.

Presidential contest to define Cong’s political relevance!
Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: Even be-
fore giving somewhat of
a contest to the BJP in
presidential election,
the Congress party will
have to contest with
other political parties to
make itself heard. This
is so because the opposi-
tion parties are prepar-
ing to contest the elec-
tions by forming a non-
BJP and non-Congress
front. Even if a Third or
Federal Front is not
formed, opposition par-
ties are still trying to
field a common candi-
date and force the Con-
gress to support this op-
position alliance. On
the other hand Con-
gress is not ready to sup-
port the leader of other
party other than its own
party in any condition.
The Congress wants
that a presidential can-
didate fielded by it
should be supported
‘automatically’ by the
rest of the parties as
has been the case in the
past. That is why the
Congress has engaged
Mallikarjun Kharge in
this campaign.
On the other hand the
leaders of Mamata Ba-
nerjee,Chandrashekhar
Rao and Arvind Kejri-
wal’s parties are en-
gaged in different ef-
forts. Until a few days
ago, the Samajwadi Par-
ty National President
AkhileshYadavwasalso
taking initiative in this
matter. But he has been
embroiled in the by-elec-
tions to two Lok Sabha
seats in his state - Azam-
garh and Rampur. Both
the seats are of impor-
tantforhimasbothhave
been his party’s seats
and vacated by resigna-
tion. However, Mamata
Banerjee has called a
meeting of opposition
parties on Wednesday
.
Meanwhile, Aam Aadmi
Party MP Sanjay Singh
has gone to Mumbai to
meet Sharad Pawar. K
Chandrashekhar Rao
has already met Stalin,
Hemant Soren, Mamta
Banerjee, Arvind Kejri-
wal etc. So, the Congress
has yet to fight the battle
of deciding the candi-
datebeforetherealfight.
Meanwhile, Sonia Gan-
dhi’s health has deterio-
rated and Rahul Gandhi
is embroiled in ED’s in-
terrogation and in such
situation,Congressfinds
itself embroiled in a po-
litical ‘turf war’, the re-
sult of which will decide

grand-old party
.
Why Mallikarjun
Kharge?
The Congress wants
that a presidential
candidate fielded by it
should be supported
‘automatically’ by the
rest of the parties as
has been the case in the
past. That is why the
Congress has engaged
Mallikarjun Kharge in
this campaign.

WHO to share
vaccines to stop
monkeypox
New Delhi: The World
Health Organisation
said it’s creating a new
vaccine-sharing mecha-
nism to stop the out-
break of monkeypox in
more than 30 countries

move could result in the
U.N. health agency dis-
tributing scarce vaccine
doses to rich countries
that can otherwise af-
ford them. To some
health experts, the ini-
tiative potentially miss-
es the opportunity to
control monkeypox vi-
rus in the African coun-

people for decades, serv-
ing as another example
of the inequity in vac
distribution that was

trum for mobile ser-
vices.
While the 5G spec-

companies will follow a
demand study and sec-
tor regulator TRAI’s

aspects such as pricing
and modalities of such
allocation.

other key dates to
watch-out for is the
pre-bid conference
scheduled for June 20,
2022, submission of ap-
plications with a dead-
line of July 8, and pre-
qualification of bid-
ders on July 18. Mock
auctions will be held
on July 22 and 23, 2022.

(26 GHz) frequency
bands.
Overall, the payment
terms have been eased

forms, the Cabinet an-
nounced various pro-
gressive options with

New Delhi (PTI):
About 90% of Indian
industry leaders feel
that GST has made do-
ing business easier by
bringing down barriers
across the country
, a De-
loitte survey said on
Wednesday
.
The GST regime has
also positively affected
the prices and costs of
goods and services to
end consumers, along
with helping companies
optimise their supply
chains, Deloitte GST@5
Survey 2022 found.
Automation of tax
compliances and intro-
duction of e-
invoicing/e-way facility
emerged as the most
beneficial reforms in-
troduced by the govern-
ment.
Also, creating a sim-
plified tax regime to
promote the ease of do-
ing business and up-
grading technology to
facilitate auto popula-
tion of monthly and an-
nual returns were the
key asks from industry
leaders, as per the sur-
vey. A nationwide GST
was rolled out on July 1,
2017.
“Ninety percent In-
dian CXOs across key
sectors have backed
this dynamic and tech-
nologically driven indi-
rect tax regime. Indus-
try leaders are of the
view that ‘one nation,
one tax’ reform has cer-
tainly brought down
barriers across the
country and made do-
ing business easy and
effective for both busi-
nesses and taxpayers,”
the survey said.
Looking ahead, in-
dustry looks forward to
finding resolution to
simplification of input
tax credit matching, fol-
lowed by reducing op-

‘Shivpal Factor’ can hurt SP prospects in by-election!
Gyanendra Kumar Shukla
Lucknow: Eight years
ago, SP patriarch Mu-
layam Singh Yadav, who
was contesting from
Azamgarh parliamen-
tary seat, was apprehen-
sive about his victory in
the initial phase itself,
so he called his brother
Shivpal Singh Yadav
there.
The latter’s presence
not only strengthened
the SP
, but also ensured
Mulayam’s victory by a
huge margin of 3.60
lakhs in spite of the na-
tionwide pro-Modi
wave. Later, addressing
a meeting in Saifai, Mu-
layam Singh Yadav ad-
mitted candidly that the
Azamgarh election was
a close shave for him. He
creditedthemembersof
Saifai family, including
Shivpal Singh Yadav, for
the victory of that Lok
Sabha election. It is ob-
vious that Shivpal
proved his worth as an
excellentelectionorgan-
izer.
However, subsequent
developments led to a
deep rift between Shiv-
pal Singh Yadav and his
nephew, Akhilesh Ya-
dav. In the 2017 assembly
elections, SP chief Akh-
ilesh Yadav completely
sidelined Shivpal. De-
spite the alliance with
Congress in that elec-
tion, the party could not
even touch the mark of
fifty seats. It was be-
lieved that along with
the BJP wave, Shivpal’s
discontent also played a
role in the defeat of
Akhilesh’s party
.
In the backdrop of
Shivpal’s displeasure, in
the 2019 general elec-
tions, three members of
the Saifai family lost the
elections in SP’s bas-
tions. These included
DimpleYadavfromKan-
nauj, Akshay Yadav
from Firozabad and
Dharmendra Yadav
from Badaun.
Although Shivpal had
withdrawn the candida-
ture of his outfit PSPL
candidate Sunil Singh
Rathore from Kannauj
seat, the result of his an-
noyance was that Akh-
ilesh’s wife lost the elec-
tion by just twelve thou-
sand votes to BJP’s Sub-
rata Pathak. Subrata
was defeated by Dimple
in the 2014 elections by
nineteen thousand
votes. In Badaun, Dhar-
mendra Yadav, staunch
supporter of Akhilesh
in saifai clan, was de-
feated by BJP’s Sang-
hamitra Maurya by
26,000 votes, while Dhar-
mendra won by a mar-
gin of one lakh votes in
2014.
Shivpal Singh Yadav
himself apparently be-
came an obstacle in the
way of his nephew Ak-
shay Yadav, who regis-
tered a big victory in the
year 2014 from Firo-
zabad seat; Chandrasen
Jadaun of BJP won by
twenty eight thousand
votes.
M Tariq Khan
Lucknow: As mercury
soars, political tempar-
tures are also on the
rise in Uttar Pradesh.
Months after the As-
sembly elections, the
focus has shifted to the
crucial Lok Sabha by-
polls in Azamgarh and
Rampur. The by-elec-
tion to the two seats is
scheduled for June 23.
The counting of votes
will be on June 26.
Both the seats are
considered the bas-
tions of the Samajwadi
Party (SP), one was
held by party president
Akhilesh Yadav and the
other by the party’s vet-
eran leader Azam
Khan.
The SP managed to
win the seats even as
BJP swept the 2019 Lok
Sabha polls in the state.
But, reported differ-
ences between the two
leaders, whose election
to the state Assembly
necessitated the by-
elections, may have im-
plications for the out-
come of the battle in
Rampur.
The SP won all 10 as-
sembly segments in
Azamgarh in this
year’s polls, one reason
why the seat is high on
BJP’s priority.

Lucknow: With Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati
aggressively trying to cash in on the resentment brewing
in the Muslim community over former BJP spokesperson
Nupur Sharma’s remarks against the Prophet and Yogi
Adityanath government’s “bulldozer justice” against those
involved in Friday violence, the prestigious Lok Sabha
byelection in Azamgarh has become interesting as the
fight has distinctly turned triangular.The Samajwadi Party
with its Yadav-Muslim combination has been desperately
trying to retain the seat which had fallen vacant after the
resignation of SP chief Akhilesh Yadav.The SP has fielded
Yadav’s cousin Dharmendra Yadav who had lost 2019 Lok
Sabha election. But Mayawati, taking the fight aggressively
and making effort to make dent into SP’s well-entrenched
Muslim base, seems to have put spoke in SP’s plan.

UAE has ordered a sus-
pension of exports and
re-exports of wheat
and wheat flour origi-
nating from India for
four months, the Gulf
nation’s ministry of
economy said on
Wednesday.
The move follows
India banning the ex-
port of wheat last
month to check the
surge in local prices.
With this, Indian
wheat cannot be root-
ed to third countries
via the UAE.
The ban, which the
ministry called as
‘moratorium’, has been
imposed effective from
May 13 “in view of the
international develop-
ments that have affect-
ed trade flows”.
India had on May 14
banned wheat exports
except for those backed
by already issued let-
ters of credit (LCs) and
to countries seeking to
ensure food security.
Since then, it has al-
lowed shipments of
469,202 tonnes of wheat.
The United Arab Emir-
ates Ministry of Econo-
my said the ban “ap-
plies to all wheat varie-
ties namely hard, ordi-
nary and soft wheat
and wheat flour.”
In a statement said a
moratorium has been
imposed “on the ex-
port and re-export of
wheat and wheat flour
originating from the
Republic of India, in-
cluding free zones, for
a period of four
months starting from
May 13, 2022.”
This “decision
comes in view of the
international develop-
ments that have affect-
ed trade flows, and in
appreciation of the
solid and strategic re-
lations that bind the
UAE and India.
Especially after the
signing of the Compre-
hensive Economic
Partnership Agree-
ment between the two
countries and the In-
dian government’s ap-
proval to export wheat
to the UAE for domes-
tic consumption.”
Ayodhya (PTI): Maha-
rashtra minister and
Shiv Sena leader Aadi-
tya Thackeray, who on
Wednesday paid a visit
to Ayodhya, said his ar-
rival at the temple town
is not associated with
politics but he is here to
seek the blessings of
Lord Ram.
Thackeray, who tried
to stay clear of politics,
however said that cen-
tral agencies have
turned into an adver-
tisement literature. He
was responding to a
question on the En-
forcement Directorate
quizzing Congress lead-
er Rahul Gandhi.
His visit comes at a
time when the BJP
, Shiv
Sena’s former ally, has
been questioning the
party’s commitment to
Hindutva. Earlier, head
of Maharashtra
Navnirman Sena Raj
Thackeray had an-
nounced his visit to
Ayodhya on June 5, but
was cancelled later.
“My visit to Ayodhya
isnopolitics.Ihavecome
heretoseektheblessings
of Lord Ram,” Thacker-
ay told the media.
“Ayodhya is the cen-
tre of faith in India. In
2018, we gave this slo-
gan - first temple, then
government. After Shiv
Sena’s slogan, the way
for the construction of
thetemplewascleared,”
he said.
