Mohd Fahad
New Delhi: India has
asked its citizens living
in Ukraine not to panic
over reports of people
not getting flight tick-
ets amid rising ten-
sions between the for-
mer Soviet state and its
neighbour Russia,
which has deployed
troops, tanks and war-
planes along the bor-
der, leading to fears of
an invasion.
India’s embassy in
Ukraine, in a tweet,
said it is aware of re-
ports of people not get-
ting flights; however, it
asked Indians living in
Ukraine not to panic as
more flights are being
planned. A 24-hour hel-
pline has been set up for
Indians. The embassy
did not specify by when
exactly the additional
flights would be opera-
tional. It said details
would be shared by the
embassy “as and when
confirmed”.
“Embassy of India
has been receiving sev-
eral appeals about non-
availability of flights
from Ukraine to India.
In this regard, students
are advised not to re-
sort to panic, but book
the earliest available
and convenient flights
to travel to India,” the
embassy tweeted.

A bindi wearing girl is

Why only these girls?
This is a violation of
Article 15 of the Consti-
tution,” Advocate Ku-
mar said.
Ghoongats are per-

mid the reported rift at the
top order and dissolving
all national posts on Sun-
day… there was good news
for the Trinamool Con-
gress on Monday when it
made a clean sweep in the
civic polls to four munici-
pal corporations in West
Bengal that is Bidhanna-
gar, Siliguri, Chanderna-
gore and Asansol. TMC
retained Bidhannagar by
winning 39 out of 41 seats
while the Opposition BJP
and the CPI(M) failed to
open their account. The
Congress managed to bag
one seat, and an Independ-
ent candidate secured vic-
tory in a ward. In Chand-
ernagore, the TMC bagged
31 of the 32 seats, while the
CPI(M) won in one.
In fact, the epicentre of
theverdictepisodeisTMC’s
winning the prestigious
Siliguri Municipal Corpo-
ration (SMC) by defeating
the CPI(M)-led Left Front,
wheretheTMCpocketed37
out of 47 seats. The BJP
,
however, managed to get
the status of opposition by
clinching only five seats,
whiletheLeftwasrelegated
to the third position as it
managed to win four seats
and the Congress only one!
But we shall concentrate
later in this article on how
the Left is still managing to
retain its relevance albeit
not in a great way and in
politics every move counts
as they say
.
A look at the vote share
may be bewildering. The
TMC’s (vote) share in
Siliguri was 78.72 per cent,
while the BJP and CPI(M)
managed to bag 10.64 per
cent and 8.5 per cent of the
votes polled respectively
.
West Bengal Chief Min-
ister Mamata Banerjee
wasted no time to an-
nounce that party leader
Gautam Deb, who won by
a margin of 3,000 votes,
would be the next mayor
of SMC. It may be recalled
that it was at the Siliguri
Municipal Corporation…
The Left and Congress
came together in 2015 to
keep the TMC out of pow-
er and had made an elec-
toral arrangement called
the ‘Siliguri Model’. Sen-
ior CPI (M) leader and for-
mer Mayor of the Corpo-
ration Asok Bhattacharya
who had brought the Left
and Congress together,
lost from Ward Number 6.
The results and the pat-
tern of TMC’s win indicate
the highest ever support
for a ruling party in West
Bengal and political ob-
servers very rightly have
raised questions of the ex-
istence and relevance of
Opposition parties. In at
least 17 wards of the Bid-
hannagar Municipal Cor-
poration, TMC candidates
mustered more than 80%
votes and in a particular
ward the percentage of
votes polled in the favour
of TMC was 95%.
Polls to another 108 civic
bodies across 20 districts
are scheduled on February
27. TMC has won three of
thelocalbodiesunopposed.
A look back would reveal
that TMC had also won the
Kolkata Municipal Corpo-
ration election held in De-
cember 2021. The TMC had
bagged134outof 144wards.
The BJP finished second
with just three seats.
In the Assembly general
election results while the
Left – the CPM, CPI, Revo-
lutionary Socialist Party
(RSP) and Forward Bloc –
secured only 5.87% of the
polledvotes…inthestate…
in south Bengal’s urban
pockets, especially in the
areas which fall inside 100
km from Kolkata, Left can-
didates bagged 10-20% of
the polled votes. This was
in sharp difference to their
show especially in the ru-
ral areas, mainly in dis-
tricts away from the city of
Kolkata, like north Bengal
and southwestern Bengal,
where Left candidates got
2-4% votes.
In the urban areas of
Hooghly, Howrah, North
24 Parganas, Bardhaman
and even in Nadia, Left
candidates (especially
those of CPM), secured 12-
15% votes. However, Left-
backed Congress candi-
dates did not get that much
votes even in urban areas.
Meanwhile, interesting-
ly… as soon as the results
were out, Jayaprakash Ma-
jumder once again blamed
the state leadership of the
BJP
. It may be recalled that
he was expelled from BJP
a few days ago. He blamed
them for the current situa-
tion of the Saffron camp in
the state. He attacked state
president Sukant Majum-
der, general secretary (or-
ganization) Amitabh
Chakraborty and Amit
Malviya. He claimed that
the new leadership wanted
to usurp power by elimi-
nating the old party. He
further added that a con-
spiracy is being hatched
within the party to bring
40 per cent of the vote back
to 4 per cent.
Jayprakash also said
just going to the court and
the Raj Bhavan won’t help.
The state leadership has to
stand by its committed
workers who had worked
overtime to help the party
win 18 Lok Sabha seats in
West Bengal in 2019. On the
other hand, Dilip Ghosh
said, “Votes have been loot-
ed. Nominations have been
blocked by using gangster
police to nullify the Oppo-
sition. Attempts have been
made everywhere to block
the election, to zero in on
the Opposition. The vote
did not go well and the re-
sults reveal the same. The
court will decide.

alu Prasad Ya-
dav, the former
Bihar Chief
Minister and
Rashtriya Ja-
nata Dal chief, is headed
back to prison in the fa-
mous Rs 950-crore fodder
scam. A CBI court in
Ranchi convicted him in
the fifth case pertaining to
the scam in which Rs 139.5
crores were fraudulently
withdrawn from Doran-
da’s treasury in Ranchi.
Giving Lalu (73) company
in the case are 74 other ac-
cused. Their sentencing is
due on February 21. The
case dates back to 1995-96
and Lalu has already
spent time in jail but not
the entire cumulative pe-
riod of about 20 years of
his sentence. Most of the
time he has been in a hos-
pital because of uncon-
trolled diabetes and other
health issues.
That nemesis has caught
up with Lalu, a Bihar
strongman for whom was
coined the popular slogan
“jab tak samose me aaloo,
tab tak rahega bihar me
Lalu”. Lalu is there in Bi-
har but is now a pale shad-
ow of his once towering
figure. Should a prison
term alone be enough for
high-profile public figures
who defalcate public mon-
ey? If Lalu has been con-
victed in cases involving
crores of rupees, shouldn’t
he and the other accused
be ordered to cough up the
amount? In 1998 the In-
come-Tax department did
file a disproportionate as-
sets case against Lalu,
claiming that the former
CM had amassed Rs 46
lakh from government
treasury
. Lalu’s wife Rabri
Devi was also charge-
sheeted in the case. How-
ever, a special CBI court
acquitted the two in 2006.
After a long legal battle,
Lalu’s challenge to his ac-
quittal in the case was up-
heldbytheSupremeCourt.

New Delhi: Punjab
chief ministerCharanjit
Singh Channi waded
into a controversy drag-
ging senior party leader
Priyanka Gandhi along
with him when he asked
Punjabistostandtogeth-
er and reject the ‘bhai-
yyas’ from UP
, Delhi and
Bihar who come to Pun-
jab.
Channi’s comments
were immediately
latched onto by opposi-
tionpartieswhoaccused
Congressof playingdivi-
sive politics.
Clips of Channi’s
speech went viral on so-
cial media in which he is
heard proclaiming in
chaste Punjabi that Pri-
yanka Gandhi is the
daughter-in-law of Pun-
jabis.
Channi claims that
Priyanka is a punjabi
and asks Punjabis to
stand together and re-
ject the bhaiyas from
Uttar Pradesh, Delhi
and Bihar who are com-
ing to Punjab. A smiling
Priyanka Gandhi is
seen vigorously nod-
ding in support of
Channi’s statement. Ap-
parently Channi, by try-
ing to project Priyanka
as a Punjabi, was trying
to hit out at rival AAP
and also BJP. Many of
AAP leaders who have
worked or are working
in Punjab are from out-
side the state. Similarly
.
BJP also has its nation-
al leaders campaigning
as is the Congress.
However, the com-
ment against UP and
Bihar ‘bhaiyyas’ comes
at a time when Priyan-
ka Gandhi is trying
hard to muster votes in
Uttar Pradesh. There is
also a sizeable migrant
population in cities like
Ludhiana in Punjab.
Rival parties were
quick to hit out at the
Congress. At a press
conference, AAP lead-
ers Arvind Kejriwal and
Bhagwant Mann con-
demned the statement.
“It is very shameful.
We strongly condemn
comments aimed at any
individual or any par-
ticular community

jriwal said. —ANI
Sitapur: Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi on
Wednesday said Uttar

Addressing a public
rally in UP’s Sitapur,
PM Modi said, “The de-
velopment of UP can-
not be done by those
people who encourage
rioters, goons, mafia.”
PM Modi urged the
public to vote for the
BJP as it has brought
the “rule of law” in
the state. “Now Yogi
ji’s government is
working to liberate
the people of UP from
these rioters and crim-
inals. That is why to-
day the whole of UP is
saying we will bring
those who have
brought the rule of
law,” PM Modi said.
PM Modi said the
BJP government in UP
“means equal control
over rioters, mafia raj,
goonda raj. It means
open freedom to cele-
brate the festivals, pro-
tection of sisters and
daughters, continuous
work for the welfare of
the poor”.

New Delhi: Arvind Ke-
jriwal, the Chief Minis-
ter of Delhi and Nation-
al Convener of Aam
Aadmi Party, gets vari-
ous surveys done on
smallest of issues. He
has such a technique to
get these surveys con-
ducted that they issue a
normal mobile number
instead of toll free and
in two-four days the re-
sponse of lakhs of peo-
ple comes on the same.
At present, surveys are
conducted in states,
where the population is
less, otherwise the re-
sponse would have been
in crores. He conducted
a survey to decide the
chief ministerial candi-
date in Punjab, in which
more than 23 lakh re-
sponses were received
on a mobile number in
four days and 93 percent
liked Bhagwant Mann.
Similarly, it has been
two weeks since Punjab
Chief Minister Charan-
jitSinghChannibecame
the candidate from Bha-
daur seat of Malwa re-
gion and Arvind Kejri-
wal got the survey done
thrice there. Kejriwal
also got the survey done
thrice on Chamkaur Sa-
hib, the traditional seat
of Channi. Now the
question arises if he is
runningapoliticalparty
or a survey agency?
Channi is losing in both
his surveys. In Delhi
also, he has been con-
ducting surveys and
many times he has has
got posters and hoard-
ingsputupof theresults
of that alleged survey
.
Once he had put up a
poster of AAP’s win-
ning survey in the Delhi
University Students’
Union elections as well.
It is a different matter
that his party could not
win even a single seat. A
special feature of his
survey is that every
time it is his party that
wins and the Opposition
parties lose and even
where there is no win-
win case, he get the de-
sired results on the sur-
vey at least!
Kejriwal and his survey propoganda machine!

Mamata Banerjee is
upset with the party’s
political campaign in
Goa since the ‘rosy

her regarding her par-

and the assurance
given to her, have
turned to be nought.
She is said to be most
upset that a Trina-
mool Congress Rajya
Sabha seat got stuck in
the affair of Luizinho
Flario. According to
informed sources,
Flario had joined Tri-
namool cracking a
major deal. It was
then said that he
would contest the as-
sembly elections and
would vacate the Ra-
jya Sabha seat after
winning. It is being
told that Mamta Ba-
nerjee was going to
give that Rajya Sabha
seat to Yashwant
Sinha. But at
the last mo-
ment, Flario
has refused to
contest the as-
sembly elec-
tion.
The term of
the Rajya
S a b h a
seat of Luizinho Fler-
io is till April 2026. He
is 70 years old and
even if he doesn’t do
anything, then too he
will remain a member
of upper house till
2026. He will be of no
use to the Trinamool
Congress after the Goa
assembly elections are
over. Mamata also
feels that she will
hardly contest
the Lok Sabha
elections in
2024. That’s
why she is angry
with the

elec-

has pitched Trinamool

Sabha seat was not va-
cated, Mamata has
made Yashwant Sinha

ty’s National Working
Committee. Now keep
in mind that no seat is
being vacant in West
Bengal in the biennial
elections to the Rajya
Sabha this year. In
Bengal, six seats will
be vacant in August

Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: The Chief
Ministers of the states
ruledbyanti-BJPparties
have once again started
acampaignof solidarity
.
Usually this work is
done during Lok Sabha
elections but in the last
few days, one after the
other, decisions of the
central government
have been such, due to
whichthestatesruledby
theoppositionhavebeen
troubled. Whether it is
the matter of increasing
the scope of the BSF’s
jurisdiction or changing
the rules of deputation
of All India Services of-
ficers to the Center or
the matter of reducing
the share of states in
central taxes, all have
raisedtheconcernof the
state governments.
That is when Tamil
Nadu Chief Minister
MK Stalin, West Bengal
Chief Minister Mamata
Banerjee and Telanga-
na Chief Minister K
Chandrasekhar Rao
have taken the initiative
of solidarity. All three
have talked to each oth-
er and it is learnt that
Chandrashekhar Rao
has said that he will
soon head to Mumbai
and talk to Maharash-
tra Chief Minister Ud-
dhav Thackeray
. He also
told that Mamata Ba-
nerjee is going to come
to Hyderabad. Mean-
while, MK Stalin said
that a meeting of Chief
Ministers of anti-BJP
parties will be held in
Delhi soon.
Now the question is
whether the Congress
party will attend this
meeting or not? So far,
noneof thethreeopposi-
tion chief ministers
have spoken to the Con-
gress. The Congress has
three chief ministers
and all three have op-
posed the central gov-
ernment’s decision af-
fectingCentre-staterela-
tions. In Punjab, due to
the increase in the juris-
diction of BSF, almost
theentirestatehascome
under the ambit of this
central force. But like
the chief ministers of
other states, the chief
ministers of these three
Congress-ruled states
cannot decide on their
own. If Stalin, Mamata
and Rao take any initia-
tive then one has to talk
to Rahul Gandhi about
it. Stalin and Rao can
hold talks but both have
to take Mamata Baner-
jee’s consent as well.
As far as Congress-
backed governments are
concerned, the Chief
Minister can decide in-
dependently
. Mamata
Banerjee went to Mum-
baitomeetMaharashtra
Chief Minister Uddhav
Thackeray and met Adi-
tya Thackeray and San-
jay Raut. Similarly
,
Jharkhand Chief Minis-
ter Hemant Soren can
also do politics separate-
ly from Congress. Only
then it will be interest-
ing to see what the Chief
Ministers of the Con-
gress and the govern-
ments running with its
support,dointhis initia-
tive of the opposition
Chief Ministers? The
Tamil Nadu govern-
ment also has the sup-
port of the Congress,
but there Stalin’s party
DMK enjoys an absolute
majority on its own.
WHAT WILL THE CONGRESS CHIEF MINISTER DO?
SHOWCASING SOLIDARITY
New Delhi: The exit
of senior leader
Ashwani Kumar from
the Congress has once
again brought to the
fore simmering ten-
sion in the party.
While the party main-
tained a silence, lead-
ers of the ‘G-23’ group-
ing in the party said
his exit shows all is
not well in the party.
Senior party leader
Ghulam Nabi Azad
said exit of “leader af-
ter leader” from the
party is a “matter of
serious concern”.
Azad, Congress depu-
ty leader in Rajya Sabha
Anand Sharma and Lok
Sabha MP Manish
Tewari said it is time the
partyholdsaseriousand
sincere introspection.
Allthreeof themaresig-
natories to the letter 23
senior leaders — or G-23
—had written to Con-
gress president Sonia
Gandhi in August 2020,
calling for sweeping
changes in the party
.
Several leaders on
the condition of an-
onymity said they
would not be
s u r-
prised
if the
party
faces an implosion after
March 10 if the Assem-
bly election results are
not in its favour.
“It is a matter of great
concernthatleaderafter
leader are leaving the
party
. (Ashwani) Kumar,
I think, is the fourth or
fifth former Union min-
ister who has left, be-
sides a large number of
leaders and workers at
various levels across the
country
,” Azad said.
Azad, a member of
Congress Working
Committee and former
Leader of Opposition
in Rajya Sabha, said
this shows the Con-
gress needs to do a lot
of introspection to find
the cause of these exits.
It is not right to say
these leaders are going
at the behest of any in-
dividual, or (any) party
.
There must be some
disquiet within the
party (that) makes even
hardcore Congress
leaders uncomforta-
ble.” Tewari and Vivek
Tankha called Kumar’s
exit “sad” and
“unfortunate.”
Bhupinder Singh
Hooda, former Haryana
chief minister and an-
other G-23 leader, tweet-
ed, “The news of Sh
Ashwani Kumar leav-
ing Congress is sad and
unfortunate. He is an
old dear friend and one
belonging to a freedom
fighter’s family
.”
Tewari said, Ashwani
Kumar and I worked to-
gether in Dr Manmohan
Singh’s government. He
and I have had civilised
differences on a number
of issues. However, even
if a small worker leaves
the party, it calls for in-
trospection.”
AFTERASHWANIKUMAR’SEXIT,CONG
G-23 LEADERS CALL FOR INTROSPECTION
While the party leadership has remained silent on Kumar’s exit, the G-23 have called a review
Mumbai: Maharashtra
chief minister Uddhav
Thackeray has extend-
ed support to his Telan-
gana counterpart K
Chandrasekhar Rao for
the latter’s efforts to
unite political organisa-
tions against the BJP
and the NDA.
Thackeray’s tele-
phonic conversation
with KCR is seen as a
statement amid its on-
going tussle with the
BJP-led central gov-
ernment. Earlier this
week, the Telangana
chief minister said he
would visit Mumbai to
meet his Maharashtra
counterpart. A Shiv
Sena leader informed
that Rao is expected to
visit Mumbai around
February-end to meet
Thackeray
.
“Uddhav ji, in his
brief conversation, ex-
tended support to the
Telangana CM’s efforts
to unite regional parties
to join forces against the
Centre. This is in line
with what Uddhav ji has
been saying in the over-
reach of the Centre.

New Delhi: Tax offi-
cials on Wednesday
conducted searches at
the offices of Chinese
tech giant Huawei, the
firm said, days after
New Delhi banned a
host of Chinese apps
over national security
concerns.
Tensions between
New Delhi and Beijing
have been running high
since a deadly 2020
clash in Ladakh. The
latest volley from India
saw officials from its in-
come tax department
search Huawei's prem-
ises in Gurgaon, on the
outskirts of capital
New Delhi, and in Ban-
galore, according to the
company
.
We have been in-
formed of the visit of
income tax team to our
office and also of their
meeting with some per-
sonnel, Huawei India
said in a statement
emailed to AFP
.
Huawei was confi-
dent their operations in
India were firmly com-
pliant to local laws and
they would fully cooper-
ate with the authorities,
the statement added.
The government au-
thorities were not im-
mediately available for
comment.
Local media reports
said the officials were
looking at the financial
documents, account
books, and Huawei's In-
dian businesses as well
as overseas transac-
tions. Earlier this week,
the home ministry
banned 54 mobile appli-
cations of Chinese ori-
gin, including the popu-
lar game Garena Free
Fire, several news out-
lets reported.
India is the world's
second-biggest market
by number of phone us-
ers, and the government
has justified the bans on
the apps, saying they
threatened its sover-
eignty and integrity
.
Tax searches on Chinese
telecom giant Huawei Haryana: Bharatiya
Kisan Union national
spokesperson Rakesh
Tikait on Wednesday
condoled the death of
actor and farm activist
Deep Sidhu in a car ac-
cident and ruled out
speculation that a con-
spiracy was at play.
Terming Deep Sid-
hu’s passing a “tragic
incident”, Tikait told,
“I don’t believe there
was a conspiracy be-
hind [his] death. He
was travelling on the
highway and it was re-
ported that his car
rammed [into a truck]
from behind. It seems
to be an accident, the
rest is a matter of in-
vestigation.”
Asked about Deep
Sidhu’s alleged involve-
ment in the violence
that erupted at the Red
Fort during the farm-
ers’ tractor march on
January 26 last year, Ti-
kait admitted that it
gave the farmers’ agita-
tion a bad rap. He, how-
ever, claimed that the
actor was taken to the
scene by authorities in
a bid to implicate the
protesting farmers.
“We did not tamper
with the tricolor, there
was a bare pole and a
religious flag was un-
furled from it. It was a
conspiracy by the
government to defame
the farmers’ union and
the entire movement.
Deep Sidhu got
caught up in this
chakravyuh [trap] of
the govt,” said Tikait.
Chaotic scenes were
witnessed at the Red
Fort in Delhi during the
farmers' tractor parade
onRepublicDayassome
miscreants clashed with
the police. Deep Sidhu
was arrested in Febru-
ary 2021 by the Delhi
Police in connection
with the violence.
Police claimed that
the actor-activist par-
ticipated in the protest
with the intentiontocre-
ate violence and that he
was the main instigator
of unlawful assembly

Punjab: A day after former Union Law Minis-
ter Ashwani Kumar quit Congress, party leader
Manish Tewari on Wednesday called the decision
unfortunate and said that the ambition for Rajya
Sabha seat makes people do many things.
Addressing a press conference in Ludhiana today,
Tewari said, Whenever a leader quit Congress
party, it's a loss for us. Ashwani Kumar who left
Congress yesterday was Rajya Sabha MP from
Punjab Congress. It's a very unfortunate deci-
sion for us. The ambition for a Rajya Sabha seat
makes people do many things, the Congress
leader added. Former Union Law Minister and Con-
gress leader Ashwani Kumar on Tuesday resigned
from Congress after a long association of 46 years
with the party. Ashwani Kumar was a part of the
UPA term two government's cabinet. Currently, he
was not holding any main profile in the Congress
party and did not have a post in the AICC.
‘LOSS FOR US’: TEWARI ON
ASHWANI’S RESIGNATION
COMING TOGETHER
DIG INTO FINANCIAL DOCS
Local media reports said the officials were
looking at the financial documents, account
books, and Huawei’s Indian businesses as well
as overseas transactions. Earlier this week, the
home ministry banned 54 mobile applications of
Chinese origin, including the popular game Garena
Free Fire, several news outlets reported. India is
the world’s second-biggest market by number of
phone users, and the government has justified
the bans on the apps, saying they threatened its
sovereignty and integrity.
LIQUOR BOTTLE RECOVERED
Haryana: A partially consumed bottle of liquor was
recovered from the ill-fated car of Punjabi actor
Deep Sidhu, who died in a road accident on Tuesday
near Sonipat in Haryana. An FIR has been registered
for rash and negligent driving against the driver of
the truck with which the actor's car collided. Viscera
samples of the actor have been collected. We re-
trieved a partially consumed liquor bottle from Deep
Sidhu's car. It is a case of rash and negligent driv-
ing. An FIR has been registered. The driver has been
identified and police teams are trying to nab him.”
New Delhi: The
NIA on Wednesday
carried out a search
operation at three
places in Kashmir
Valley in the case of
“radicalising, moti-
vating and recruit-
ing” youth of Jam-
mu and Kashmir by

The agency con-
ducted the search
operation in coordi-
nation with Jammu
and Kashmir Police
and CRPF person-
nel. The agency
said it seized in-
criminating mate-
rial and digital de-
vices during the
search operation.
The case pertains
to radicalisation
and recruitment

ties in the erst-
while state and
other parts of the
country by Sajjad
Gul, Salim Rehma-
ni alias Abu Saad
and Saifullah Sajid
Jutt, the command-
ers of LeT and The
Resistance Front.

RajendraChhabra
Jaipur: After splendid
three-year-long innings,
senior IAS Amit Dhaka,
whoservedfirstasSpecial
SecretaryandthenasSec-
retary to CM Ashok Ge-
hlot, has now bid adieu to
Rajasthan as on Wednes-
dayhereturnedtohispar-
ent cadre of Punjab. 2006
batch IAS Amit Dhaka
hadcometoRajasthanon
inter-state deputation on
February 15, 2019 and af-
ter the completion of his
deputation period, he has
now returned to Punjab
cadre.
But as of now, he has
appliedforaleaveof two
monthsduringwhichhe
will remain in Jaipur. It
has been mentioned in
his relieving order that
once his leave period is
completedonlythenwill
he report to the Punjab
Chief secretary
.
When CM Gehlot
called Dhaka, who is a
BSc and MBA and a na-
tive of Rajasthan, to the
state as Special Secre-
tary right after his gov-
ernment was formed,
everyone in the state bu-
reaucracy was sur-
prised. However, CM
knew about Amit’s abili-
ties and work ethics and
therefore he handed this
dynamic officer the re-
sponsibilityof theHome
DepartmentintheCMO.
When in March 2019, Ge-
hlotwenttoPHQtochair
a meeting of police offic-
ers, not only did he take
Amit along, but also ac-
corded him a chair next
to himself.
This was a clear mes-
sage from CM that the
officer from Punjab is
his trusted officer. After
this, Amit kept Gehlot’s
trust in him intact and
while handling the af-
fairsof theHomedepart-
ment, he played an im-
portant role in solving
several law and order is-
sues. Apart from Home,
when Amit was handed
theresponsibilitiesof IT
and UDH and LSG, he
carried out that role
with utmost finesse.
During the initial wave
of Covid, he played an
important role in organ-
izingandmonitoringthe
meetings in CMR. It was
said in bureaucratic
quarters that Amit was
the most important of-
ficerinCMRatthattime.
Nowthatheisleaving,
so there will be one less
trusted, result-oriented,
and the hard-working of-
ficer from CM’s team.
ApartfromCM,Kuldeep
Ranka will also feel this
‘void’,whowillalsohave
to face the space left due
to the departure of Ra-
jan Vishal as both of
these officers were Kul-
deep’s supporting offic-
ers. However, it is be-
lieved that in spite of
this ‘double-whammy’,
Kuldeep will be able to
continue the work of the
CMO in the manner it
has been functioning
thus far.
On the other hand,
there are 2 versions of
Dhaka’s relieving order.
One says that Govern-
ment of India (DoPT)
had declined Dhaka’s
further extension in Ra-
jasthan whereas the
other versions indicate
thatat‘somelevel’,there
was some sort of disap-
pointment with the style
and functioning of Dha-
ka.Butallsaidanddone,
after serving a three-
yeartenure,Dhakaisgo-
ing back to Punjab with-
out any controversy
.
DHAKA COMPLETES HIS INNINGS IN RAJ, RETURNS
TO PARENT CADRE...LEAVING A ‘VOID’ IN CMR!
There are 2 versions of Dhaka’s relieving order.
One says that GoI (DoPT) had declined Dhaka’s
further extension in Raj whereas the other
versions indicate that at ‘some level’, there was
some sort of disappointment with the style and
functioning of Dhaka. But all said and done,
after serving a three-year tenure, Dhaka is
going back to Punjab without any controversy
We have taken several decisions
in farmers’ interest,says Gehlot
Rajiv Gaur
Jodhpur: Former Depu-
ty CM Sachin Pilot has
stressed that the forma-
tion of Congress govt in
5 states, undergoing As-
sembly polls, is certain.
”This time in Punjab, if
Cong CM takes oath,
then Yogi govt is sure to
go in UP
. Congress Gen
Secy Priyanka Gandhi’s
hard work will pay off.
BJP is doing politics of
votes in name of Tem-
ples and Mosques,” Pilot
saidonWednesdaynight
when he reached Jodh-
pur. On REET issue, he
said Cong is serious on it
there should be a fair
probe. Coincidentally
,
Rahul Gandhi and
Sachin Pilot met at the
Goat airport when Pilot
was in Goa recently
. The
duo discussed in detail
the elections in 5 states.
Top IPS officer, Tribal leader among
Congress’ probable candidates?
Aditi Nagar
New Delhi: The
countdown for the bi-
ennial Rajya Sabha
election to be held on
4 seats of Rajasthan
has begun. 4 seats are
falling vacant after
completion of the
term of Omprakash
Mathur, KJ Alphons,
Rajkumar Verma,
and Harshvardhan
Singh Dungarpur (all
BJP) on July 4.
As per the party po-
sition in the assembly,
3 seats can go to Con-
gress and 1 to BJP.
Congress has already
started preparing for
the elections. The par-
ty leaders brain-
stormed in Delhi on 3
seats. Sources said
that a senior Jat IPS
officer from Ra-
jasthan can be sent to
Rajya Sabha on one
seat. Officer is origi-
nally from Kuruk-
shetra in Haryana.
The party wants to
balance Jat and farm-
ers through this of-
ficer’s entry to RS.
Recently, his name
was being speculated
for the appointment
as RPSC chairman.
Apart from him,
party is also consider-
ing Dinesh Khodani-
ya and one top-shot
businessman for the
remaining two seats
to ‘collect’ extra votes.
Khodaniya is from
the tribal-dominated
Dungarpur district.
CM Ashok Gehlot is
doing consultations
on all these names.

I MUST STRESS THAT CHAIRMAN OF FARMERS COMMISSION CAN GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS IN
THE BUDGET. ASK FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT, SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE

First India Bureau
Jaipur: Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot said on
Wednesday that agri-
culture plays a vital
role in the economy of
the country and the
State. “The State Govt is
committed to the wel-
fare of the farmers. In
the last 3 years our govt
has taken many deci-
sions and implemented
many important
schemes for the pros-
perity of the farmers,”
Gehlot said addressing
the gathering on the oc-
casion of taking over
the charge by Rajasthan
Kisan Aayog chairman
Mahadeo Singh Khan-
dela and vice-chairman
Deepchand Kharia at
Pant Krishi Bhawan on
Wednesday
.
Gehlot also said that
Rights-based era start-
ed in the country at the
time of the UPA Gov-
ernment. “People got
Right to Information,
Right to Education and
the Right to Employ-
ment through MGNRE-
GA. Employment con-
cerns of people have
been removed through
MGNREGA.” CM said,
“I must stress that the
Chairman of Farmers
Commission can give
me suggestions in the
budget. Ask for what-
ever you want, such an
opportunity will not be
available again. There
would have been a lot of
problems for the farm-
ers, but NREGA gave
them relief. PM Modi
said that he will double
farmers’ income by
2022. But they could not
succeed in this. We
would also like farmers’
income to increase. A
separate budget will be
presented for farmers
on February 23”.

JATAV CALLS FOR CONG GOVT IN PUNJAB
From PG 1...
Sonia ji and Rahul ji
made Channi sahib CM
which created an envi-
ronment in the nation
that a Dalit can become
CM. In Rajasthan, Pa-
hadia ji was made CM
by Indira Gandhi.”
Gehlot takes a jibe at
AAP: ‘AAP thinks that
Punjab is like Delhi.
They should know big
states work differently.
I will appeal to you not
to come in their words.
Just see, petrol and die-
sel prices are no longer
increasing as soon as
elections came.”
Gehlot targets ex-CM
Captain Amarinder:
“The way he left the
party is astonishing.
Congress’ victory in
Punjab will send a good
message across the
country
.” After the elec-
tion rally, Gehlot also
met Rajeev Shukla and
Pawan Khera.
Gehlot lauds Channi:
Addressing a presser at
PCC, Gehlot said, “It
feels good to be in Pun-
jab’. Channi sahib is in
talks in Punjab and out-
side also. It was Rahul’s
thinking that Dalit face
became CM of Punjab.
Peopleof Punjabshould
give one more chance to
Channi. RSS and BJP
have no connection
with democracy
.”
Gehlot talks on Ra-
jasthan model: Gehlot
said, “Rajasthan model
has always had a tradi-
tion of good govern-
ance. Even after 3 years
there is no anti-incum-
bency against govt.”
On Kumar Vishwas’s
remark for Kejri: Ge-
hlot said, “Kejri should
refute comment if he
considers himself
clean. CM Kejri should
come out and say this
remark is wrong.”
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot addresses a public meeting in support
of Surinder Kumar Dawar, Congress candidate from Ludhiana on
Wednesday.Also present are Bhajanlal Jatav, Jitu Patwari and others.
Sachin Pilot participates in the
election campaign of Congress
candidate Vijay Inder Singla
from Sangrur Assembly in
Punjab on Wednesday.
CM STRESSES ON NEED
FOR LEARNING ENGLISH
Speaking on need for learn-
ing Eng language, CM said,
“Now, by starting English
schools, they will be able to
learn English from childhood.
Today’s age is of mobiles and
internet and if children do
not learn business, then they
will be troubled. If they learn
English since childhood, they
will be able to move forward
and will be successful.”
Rajasthan’s PWD Minister Bhajan Lal Jatav, who had ac-
companied Gehlot from Jaipur, gave an effective speech
in the public meeting in Punjab’s Ludhiana Central
Assembly Constituency. Jatav said, “CM Gehlot did an
impressive job during the Corona period. Rajasthan has
emerged as a model state in entire country in Corona
management. Congress high command set a great ex-
ample across the country by making Dalit leader Channi
the CM. Opposition parties are unable to digest Dalit
leader Channi becoming CM in Punjab.” Jatav called for
formation of Cong govt again for better devp of Punjab.

Bindiya Cham-
kegi, Chudi
khankegi …
Lata Man-
g e s h k a r
crooned as
Mumtaz wooed the reticent
Rakesh Khanna, looking ab-
solutely stunning in an or-
ange saree, gajra, bindi, ban-
gles. Coupled with her imp-
ish sexiness the song has
become one of the biggest
hits and would not be fair to
say Mumtaz’s best. But Do
Raaste is actually not about
the love story of Khanna and
Mumtaz even though with
Chup Gaye Saare Nazaare
and Mere Naseeb Mein ae
dost, one might be misled
into thinking the same.
With the pandemic, many
have had a forced or chosen
‘homecoming’ and in a way,
the theme of Do Raaste is
relevant again as people
with different outlooks and
attitudes live together as a
family
. Once again, we are
close-knit as try to compro-
miseandadjusttoeachother
to keep a family together.
As a child, I would be an-
gry at Balraj Sahni for not
being harsh with Bindu as
sheselfishlyandwithschem-
ing breaks the ‘home’ built
so lovingly with sacrifice
and love but today I can un-
derstand the positives of the
stoic Balraj. Bindu as the
‘evil bahu’ gives a stellar per-
formance and much of the
film is enacted as Rajesh
Khanna and Bindu spar- she
for her own interests and he
for the ‘family’. Bindu had
no songs in Do Raaste but a
powerful ‘vamp’ role which
she did full justice to.
Thetrialsandtribulations
of middle-class India were
depicted with emphasis on
respect of elders, relations
are supreme, mother-power
and the sanctity of joint fam-
ily
. Raj Khosla hit upon a
‘winning formula’ and to
date, hundreds of directors
have followed suit.
Rajesh Khanna dominat-
ed the scenes as the angry
young man, upholding fam-
ily values with little care
of high-society- a man
who puts his elder step-
brotherandBhabhifirstand
foremost.Veenaasthemoth-
er and Kamini Kaushal as
the Bhabhi play supporting
roles though on reflection
one does wish they had han-
dled things better rather
thanbeingdoormatsinfront
of Bindu. K L Sigal’s Ek
Bangla bane nyara – the
song echoes as the family
disintegrates – is haunting
and a masterpiece.
Essentially, the lesson is
clear- as a family
, we all will
face problems sometimes in-
ternal and many times ex-
ternal. We all have Do
Raaste- two paths in front of
us- do we stay united as a
family and sort things out
with compromise and love
(not sacrifice) or do we allow
‘trials’ to break our family?
We all choose…daily…
