‘MAALIK WAS CLAPPING’
PM slams Channi’s ‘Delhi boss’ Priyanka in “Bhaiye” remark row
Fazilka: Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi to-
day tore into Punjab
Chief Minister Charan-
jit Singh Channi over
his controversial “UP,
Bihar ke bhaiye” com-
ment and also targeted
Congress leader Pri-
yanka Gandhi Vadra,
saying the “family from
Delhi was clapping”.
“What the Congress
Chief Minister said
here the entire country
has seen. The family
from Delhi is his maa-
lik (boss), that maalik
was standing next to
him, clapping,” PM
said at a rally in Pun-
jab ahead of Sunday
election in the state.
Meanwhile, Priyan-
ka while targeting BJP
said, “Out of all the po-
litical parties that come
before you and talk
about Panjabiyat, one
has already bowed
down before its indus-
trialist friends. PM
came to Pathankot yes-
terday for polls but he
couldn’t travel 5-6 km
from his residence to
meet the farmers. He

 With a couple of
days left for Assembly
elections in Punjab,
senior Congress leader
and former prime min-
ister Manmohan Singh
on Thursday exhorted
people to vote for the
party while cautioning
them against the BJP’s
“divisive policies” and
blaming the govern-
ment at the Centre
for trying to “malign
Punjab and Punjabis”.
 Singh said the Cen-
tre had tried to “bring
disrepute to Punjab
Chief Minister Charan-
jit Singh Channi and
the people of the state
in the name of PM’s
security. This did not
stick. Similarly, during
the farmers’ agita-
tion, they tried
to malign
Punjab and
Punjabis.
What all was
not said about Pun-
jabis, who are saluted
the world over for their
valour and patriotism.
Being a true Indian,
after having been born
in Punjab, I feel sad at
what is happening”.
 Listing develop-
ment, agriculture and
unemployment as
“challenges” faced by
Punjab, he said the
Congress “alone can
provide a solution” to
these issues.
 The current rulers,
instead of making
amends by accepting
their mistakes, even
after seven-and-a-half
years of rule, are out to
blame the first Prime
Minister, Jawahar-
lal Nehru, for
the prob-
lems
of the
people.

CHANNI CLARIFIES ON ‘BHAIYE’ ROW
A day after sparking controversy with his ‘UP-Bihar de
bhaiye’ comment, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh
Channi issued a clarification on Thurs-
day stating, “My statement is being
misconstrued. All the migrant workers
who have come to Punjab till date
have toiled and taken it on the path to
development. We have only love for
them, nobody can change it.” Channi had said that “Bhai-
yas from UP, Bihar, Delhi cannot come here and rule.”
REMARK ABSOLUTE NONSENSE:
NITISH HITS OUT AT CM CHANNI
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Thursday lambasted
Punjab CM Charanjit Singh Channi over his remarks
on “bhaiyas” (migrants), calling
it appalling. Talking to reporters,
Kumar sought to know if Channi was
unaware how much people of Bihar
have served Punjab. “This is absolute
nonsense. I am appalled at how peo-
ple can say such things. Does Channi not know how much
people from Bihar have served Punjab,” he said.

SC lifts stay on 75% quota for
Haryana locals in private jobs
...asks HC to hear matter in full and decide in 4 weeks
New Delhi: The Su-
preme Court on Thurs-
day, while setting aside
the High Court order
staying the Haryana
government’s law re-
serving 75 per cent of
private sector jobs for
residents of the state,
asked the HC to decide
within four weeks, peti-
tions challenging the
validity of the legisla-
tion.
The top court also re-
strained the state gov-
ernment from taking
any action against em-
ployers under the law
during this time.
The state argued the
order was passed after a
90-second hearing and
that its lawyer was not
heard.
The Supreme Court
asked the High Court to
hear the matter fully
and rule in four weeks.
A Bench headed by
Justice L Nageswara
Rao set aside the Febru-
ary 3 interim order of
the Punjab and Hary-
ana High Court staying
the “The Haryana State
Employment of Local
Candidates Act, 2020”,
saying that the latter
“has not given suffi-
cient reasons for stay-
ing the legislation”.
“We do not intend to
deal with merits of mat-
ter... request High Court
to decide expeditiously,
and not later than four
weeks. Parties are
directed not to seek
adjournment...” the
Supreme Court bench
observed.
The Haryana govern-
ment has also been
told to refrain from
coercive steps against
private sector em-
ployers opting not to
follow the contentious
new law, at this time.

Laxman Raghav
Bikaner: Referring to
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot’s recent state-
ment that there are
“many sardars (heads)
in BJP, but who will be-
come their chieftain is
not known”, Deputy
Leader of Opposition
Rajendra Rathore said
that he should not both-
er about the BJP and
instead should tell the
character who was in-
volved in the REET
scam. He said they will
continue to fight for the
CBI investigation as in-
justice has been done to
the youth of the state.
Rathore strongly tar-
geted the Gehlot gov-
ernment saying
through the REET case,
injustice has been done
to candidates.
Rathore, who was in
Bikaner on Thursday,
told First India News
that there was no option
but to cancel REET. “We
want this matter to be
investigated at any cost
so that the culprits who
play with the future of
the youth are not
spared,” he said.

First India Bureau
Jaipur: Rajasthan re-
corded highest number
of rapes in the country
in 2020. The data avail-
able with National
Crime Record Bureau
(NCRB) reveals that in
all, 5,320 rape cases
were registered in the
state during the year.
However, there is a 16%
fall in crimes against
women and the state
ranks third with 34,535
cases filed that year.
NCRB data shows
that out of the total
number rape victims in
the state, 1,279 are mi-
nors and most of their
perpetrators are known
to the victims. This
proves that daughters
are not safe in Ra-
jasthan, neither outside
nor at home. Two such
cases have come to light
in the capital on Thurs-
day itself.
Meanwhile, as per
the data, UP stands sec-
ond in rapes with 2,769
cases, followed by Mad-
hya Pradesh with 2,339
cases and Maharashtra
with 2,061 cases while
in crimes against wom-
en, Uttar Pradesh tops
with 49,385 cases, fol-
lowed by West Bengal
with 36,439 cases regis-
tered in 2020.

RUSSIA RULES OUT
ATTACK BUT WEST
CONTINUES TO BE
ON TENTERHOOKS
ussian President
Vladimir Putin is
keeping the West and
the US on tenter-
hooks over what is
said to be an “imminent” inva-
sion of Moscow. The invasion
was said to have begun on
Wednesday but the day seems to
have passed without any eventu-
ality
. What was said to be a “par-
tial” withdrawal of troops from
Ukraine’s border, was described
by some experts as “routine”
back and forth movement. At
least the UK said that it had not
seen evidence of pullback.
The partial withdrawal is not
seenasde-escalationbecauseRus-
sian troops remain deployed in
twokeymilitarydistricts.Accord-
ingtoanalystsRussiahasenough
forces to launch an invasion.
President Joe Biden repeated
his warning telling Russia to de-
sist from invasion or be ready to
face severe consequences. Diplo-
macy continues to be the only
hope as, of course, Ukraine de-
laying its plan to join NATO.
Amidst continued diplomatic
efforts, Russia’s EU ambassador
has ruled out any attack in the
coming months.
R
inally, the Income
Tax department
swung into action
and raided the
premises of Chi-
tra Ramkrishna, the former
MD and CEO of the National
Stock Exchange of India and
Anand Subramanian, the
group’s operating officer. The
Enforcement Directorate
which is quick to pounce on
suspected targets and acts in
tandem with the I-T Depart-
ment is yet to move against
Ramkrishna and one won-
ders why? Ramkrishna’s is a
curious case of a CEO head-
ing an over Rs 3 lakh crore
entity taking orders from a
“spiritual guru” living some-
where in the high Himalayas.
Anand Subramanian himself
was said to have been ap-
pointed on the ‘guru’s’ advice.
The Congress pooh-poohed
the government’s inability to
track down the IP address
from which the “spiritual
guru” was sending emails to
Ramkrishna giving her direc-
tions. The party spokesper-
son asked if the finance min-
istry could rule out insider
trading and questioned the
silence of PM and FM on the
issue. After an audit by EY
it was revealed that the “spir-
itual guru” steering Ram-
krishna was none other than
Subramanian.
That the CEO could run an
institution as large as the
NSE under the directions of
a ‘ghost baba’ since 2016 is in-
credulous and exposes the
chinks in the running of fi-
nancial institutions. Securi-
ties and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI) has fined Ram-
krishna Rs 3 crore for govern-
ance “lapses”. Anand Subra-
manian has to pay a fine of Rs
2 crore. It is more than gov-
ernance lapses as it was a me-
ticulously planned crime
with the connivance of the
NSE board which did not re-
port the matter to the SEBI.

F
or most of us in India, it is dif-
ficult to fathom the far-reach-
ing impact of the on-going
standoff between Russia and
Ukraine. It is just not a con-
frontation between two sover-
eignnations,butacrisiswith-
in a family bonded by blood
and culture. It has a multiple
or multi-dimensional adverse
affect in the region. The crisis
may spin off to the most of
Central Asia adversely affect-
ing India’s immediate as well
as long-term interest. There
is also a feeling that the US-
led western powers are en-
couraging neo-Nazis in the
region. It might become a re-
peat of the jihadists, which
had received liberal funding
either directly or indirectly
from the western powers.
This author could realize
the gravity of the situation,
when a few years ago, a Rus-
sian media scholar confided
that millions of Russians and
Ukrainians have family ties.
Her mother is a Ukrainian,
while father a Russian. There
are many Ukrainians having
a Russian wife. She also pre-
sented a study paper regard-
ing the frequent interactions
between India and the re-
gion, which included the
steppe of Pamir to the south-
ern and eastern regions of
Siberia, where a large num-
ber of artefacts, Hindu idols
have been excavated, estab-
lishing the ancient ties. If
Indians were obtaining qual-
ity horses from Ukraine,
there were Vishnu and Bud-
dha temples recently exca-
vated in the region.
InIndiafewamongus,espe-
cially those at the policy lev-
els, could evaluate the possi-
ble impact of the Ukraine
crisis. However, apart from
the Central Asian regions
comprising the former USSR
republics like Tajikistan, Uz-
bekistan Kyrgyzstan and
many other countries have
startedfeelingthedown-trend
in their money-order econo-
mies. India’s formidable mili-
tary establishment, perhaps,
is well-prepared to manage,
the paucity of key military
supplies from Ukraine dis-
rupted due to the war-like sit-
uation, but her thousands of
students enrolled in different
technicalandmedicalschools
in Ukraine face disruption in
their education, and indeed a
bleak future. The recent de-
cline of the purchasing power
of the Russian currency
, rou-
ble,estimatedtobe.9percent,
in the international market
hascausedanxietyamongthe
workers, mostly drawn from
Uzbekistan, and other former
republics of the region work-
ing in Russia.
It may also be noted that it
is not a conflict between the
two nations, but it has erupt-
ed due to the design of the
US-led western powers under
the banner of NATO, to
weaken, of not dwarfing the
Russian influence in the vast
lands of Eastern Europe and
Eurasia. On the one hand,
America’s industrial-mili-
tary establishment created
impediments in the entry of
Russia, and started enrolling
smaller powers in the NATO.
It served the twin purpose of
restraining or diluting the
Russian influence as well as
penetrating into the fragile
economies of the countries
of the region. For example,
the Ukranian oil industry,
Hunter, the son of the US
President Joe Biden, served
as a director drawing huge
salary from a Ukrainian oil
company, when his father
was the Vice President. The
conflict is rooted in the Rus-
sian demand not to enrol
Ukraine in NATO, a demand
so far not acceptable to the
alliance partners.
Most of us might have
missed the impact of the 2014
war that had enveloped
Ukraine’s eastern region.
The Ukrainian army, which
is now better equipped with
western weapons, had sup-
port of thousands of Rus-
sians. These warriors also
did not endorse the separa-
tists supported by Russia.
Theconfidenceof theUkrain-
ian Government during the
crisis could be attributed to
their support. The Russian
displeasure’ could be traced
to the American strategy to
encircle Russia by the NA-
TO’s expansion in the region.
It appears that the Russian
resistance and its decision to
assert in the region have not
only upset the fragile strate-
gic balance in Eurasia, it
might promote neo-Nazis un-
der the banner of the Azov
Special Operations Detach-
ment with the blessings of
the west. The neo-Nazis use
Nazi symbols, especially in
their logo resembling Wolf-
sangel. In 2018, the US Senate
had blocked military supplies
to the group; however, one
year later in 2015, the ban was
overturned by the Congress.
In their organizational struc-
ture, they resembles with the
Islamic Jihadists. The dread-
ed force has volunteers from
as many as 22 countries.
In a bid to diffuse the situa-
tion from worsening, top Eu-
rope political leaders have
been visiting Moscow, which
included the German Chan-
cellor Olaf Scholz and French
PresidentEmmanuelMacron.
However, they could not fur-
nish any guarantee that
Ukraine would not be induct-
ed in NATO. Meanwhile, NA-
TO’s Secretary-General Jens
Stoltenberg has asserted that
the alliance countries are de-
veloping “options to further
strengthen NATO’s deter-
rence and defence, including
considering establishing new
NATObattlegroupsincentral
and eastern and south-east-
ern Europe.” These efforts,
however, have enabled the
NATO allies to reassert their
unity
. Earlier, it suffered due
to the American nuclear-sub-
marine deal with Australia
oustingtheFrenchcompanies
and the reluctance of the Eu-
ropean members to deploy
forces at the troubled front.

New Delhi: India has
slammed the Singapore
Prime Minister’s com-
ments on “Nehru’s In-

record of MPs and has
said it will take it up
with the country. “The
remarks by the Prime
Minister of Singapore
were uncalled for. We
are taking up the mat-
ter with the Singapore-
an side,” government
sources said.
Prime Minister Lee
Hsien Loong is reported
to have made the com-
ment during an impas-
sioned debate in the
Singaporean parlia-
ment yesterday on how
democracy should func-
tion.
“...Nehru’s India has
become one where, ac-
cording to media re-
ports, almost half the
MPs in the Lok Sabha
have criminal charges
pending against them,
including charges of
rape and murder.
Though it is also said
that many of these al-
legations are politically
motivated,” he said, ac-
cording to news

A spokesperson for

of flights and seats be-
tween India and
Ukraine in air bubble
arrangement. Any
number of flights, as
well as charters, can op-

have been informed to
mount the flights due to
increase in demand.

cilitating in coordina-

Lucknow:Inadramatic
development at the
Chaudhary Charan Sin-
gh (CCS) Airport, two of
its top office bearers
were allegedly abruptly
removedfromtheirposi-
tions on Wednesday
.
The two top officers
that have been removed
are CCS Airport Chief
Airport Officer (CAO)
Suresh Chandra Hota
and Chief Security Of-
ficer Colonel (Retd)
Neeraj Khurana. Air-
port Security Manager
Parul Yadav has also
beenremoved.Itisyetto
be ascertained if the of-
ficers have been sus-
pended, transferred or
sacked.
Throughout the day
, a
number of theories did
roundsattheairportcor-
ridors and on various
Whatsapp groups. It was
being alleged that the
Adani Group, under
which the CCS Airport
operates,hascrackedthe
whip on its two top offic-
ers after a recent alterca-
tion between airport se-
curity and a seasoned
politico from the state
who had also assumed
the chief minister’s of-
fice in the state of late.
In the messages it was
being said that the for-
mer CM wasn’t happy
with the treatment ad-
ministered to him at the
airport and hence, he
hadapproachedtheAda-
niGroupChairmanafter
which the action was
taken. However, this
hasn’tbeenconfirmedby
any of the sources First
India contacted with.
Sources have re-
vealed, though, to First
India that the Chief Air-
port Officer (CAO) SC
Hota was being trans-
ferred to a different city
after the Adani Group
wasn’t happy with his
performance at the Luc-
know airport. CAO Hota
also allegedly offered to
resign in the matter.
As far as the CSO
ColonelNeerajKhurana
is concerned, it is being
alleged that there was
indeed a security issue
with regards to a VIP
after which he had tak-
en a short leave. The air-
port will now operate
under its new CAO Bal-
vir Bhatia and the new
CSO Zon eddimuth. In-
terestingly, CAO Hota
was set to retire on
March 31 this year,
sources have revealed.
When contacted by
First India, CAO Hota
refused to comment on
the matter and respond-
ed rudely when the cor-
respondent asked him
for his comments as he
was apaprently upset
about the changes.
HIGH-OCTANE DRAMA AT LUCKNOW AIRPORT,

New Delhi: On New
Year’s Eve, the Indian
government wrote to
states encouraging
them to promote the use
of COVID-19 home tests,
especially for people
who are experiencing
symptoms, in a bid to
avoid straining local
health systems.
During last year’s
delta-driven surge, an
explosion in cases over-
whelmed hospitals and
testing labs. But last
month, as new infec-
tions fueled by the omi-
cron variant skyrock-
eted, so did number of
people testing at home
across India.
In the first 20 days of
Jan, around 200,000 peo-
ple shared their test re-
sults with India’s health
agency — a 66-fold in-
crease compared to all
of 2021. The strategy ap-
parently worked. Those
testing positive with
speedy, though less ac-
curate tests were told to
self-isolate at home, al-
lowing hospital beds to
remain available for the
most vulnerable.
But experts say this
figure is likely only a
fraction of the actual
number of tests used.
Despite rules requiring
people to share their re-
sults with authorities,
many aren’t doing so.
This means country’s
already patchy testing
data is even less accu-
rate and future clusters
may go undetected.
In Maharashtra, state
health official Dr
Pradeep Vyas appealed
to users to report their
results. —ANI

New Delhi: “This is
not a matter for the
Ministry of External
Affairs. Being an inter-
nal matter of India,
any comment on it by
an outsider or another
country is not wel-
come,” Arindam
Bagchi, the official
spokesperson of minis-
try, said in response to
a question at briefing.
“We have a constitu-
tional mechanism, ju-
dicial system and dem-
ocratic ethos. This
gives us a framework to
find solutions to such
things. And this issue
is sub-judice. Karnata-
ka High Court is look-
ing into it,” he added.
“Outsiders have no
right to comment on in-
ternal issues and mat-
ters relating to India’s
constitution and its
people,” Bagchi said.
The comment fol-
lows similarly worded
rebuttals by the gov-
ernment to remarks by

ernmental organisa-
tion of Muslim nations
called OIC on the con-
troversy surrounding
the right to wear reli-
gious headscarves in
schools and colleges.
Going a little firmer
on the Organisation of
Islamic Cooperation,
or OIC, the External
Affairs Ministry had
said, “The communal
mindset of the OIC
Secretariat does not al-
low for a proper appre-
ciation of these reali-
ties. OIC continues to

interests.”

Moni Sharma
New Delhi: The votes
and seats of parties fluc-
tuate in elections but
whathappenedinTripu-
ra may not have hap-
pened in any other state
of thiscountry
.TheCon-
gress party had got 45
per cent votes in the 2013
assembly elections in
Tripura. It was almost
equal to the votes polled
by the Left Front. The
Bharatiya Janata Party
got only 1.87 percent of
the votes in that elec-
tion. But after five years
i.e. in the 2018 elections,
this picture turned com-
pletely opposite. BJP got
43 per cent votes and
Congress could get only
1.86 per cent votes. Per-
haps nowhere has there
beensuchahugechange
in votes in an election in
any other state.
That’s why now the
questionis,willtheCon-
gress be able to get its
oldvote?Itismorelikely
to have the votes of the
Left parties. So, the fight
is only for the Congress
vote, on which Trina-
mool Congress has also
made a claim. Mean-
while,twoseniorleaders
who left the Congress
and joined the BJP -
Sudip Roybarman and
Ashish Saha have re-
turned to the Congress.
Both are BJP MLAs and
before the next year’s
elections, they have left
the BJP and returned to
the Congress. Earlier it
was being said that
Sudip Roybarman
would go to Trinamool
but his joining the Con-
gress has dealt a blow to
the Trinamool.
Congress leaders are
convinced that it is time
to return to state poli-
tics. On the one hand,
BJP had camped in Del-
hi for the displeasure of
Chief Minister Biplab
Deb and about a dozen
MLAs demanding his
removal in the past.
CPM leader Manik
Sarkar, on the other
hand, has turned 73
years old. The party has
no strong alternative to
him. In such a situa-
tion, an opportunity is
being created for the
Congress in Tripura.
Keep in mind that it
doesn’t take long for the
equations to change in
the northeastern states
and Tripura is the only
state where the BJP has
won on its own. In other
states including Assam,
only Congress leaders
have become chief min-
isters from BJP.
Will the Congress vote return in Tripura?

New Delhi: Senior
Congress leader for-
mer Union Home
Finance Min P Chid-
ambaram is spear-
heading Congress’
electoral fortunes in a
small state like Goa.
In contrast, in a
relatively large state
like Punjab, Harish
Choudhary and in Ut-
tarakhand’s Deven-
dra Yadav are han-
dling electoral
reins for party.
But more than
in-charge of Ut-
tarakhand and
Punjab, Goa’s election
in-charge P Chidam-
baram is in discus-
sion since this is the
first time that Chid-
ambaram has entered
active politics.
He himself has
made every prepara-
tion for assembly elec-
tions in Goa his
preparations, strate-
gy campaign are be-
ing praised a lot in
party. It is also being
said that if Cong wins
in Goa, then all credit
will go to Chidambar-
am his stature will
be further elevated.
In fact, he has com-
pletely changed poli-
tics of Cong in Goa till
now. Instead of stop-
ping defecting lead-
ers, he let them go.
Chidambaram tried
to give the least num-
ber of tickets to lead-
ers who came to party
after defecting. He
ensured that the
candidates with
dubious alle-
giance,whowere
rigging for tickets,
were not given.
This has sent a good
message among the
voters. After this, he
mobilized resources
for campaigning did
not let Cong lag be-
hind BJP.
Informed sources
also say that his strat-
egy is also behind the
fact that renowned
leaders of Trinamool
Congress did not con-
test in the elections.
Earlier, he also en-
sured that there was
no talk of rapproche-
ment with Trina-
mool. So, on whole,
Chidambaram has
placed contested

“worship women”.
“No need to wear hi-

Patna: Lok Sabha
Speaker Om Birla on
Thursday called falling
dignity of the House
and a lack of debates on
policy-making matters
of serious concern
while calling for a col-
lective approach to deal
with it.
Speaking at an event
to mark the centenary
of the Bihar assembly
building, Birla said In-
dia has a multi-party
parliamentary system
and governments come
and go. “Whichever
party is in power should
strive to work positively
to strengthen the demo-
cratic institutions.”
He said the House is
meant for arguments
and counter-arguments
and it is natural and
necessary to have dif-
ferences of opinion be-
tween the ruling dis-
pensation opposition
on important issues.
“...but it should not
be allowed to become a
disruption, certainly
not organised bottle-
neck.”
Birla called for ef-
forts to arrive at unani-
mous decisions despite
differences and forceful
debates, which are the
flavour of a thriving de-
mocracy
.
“Government should
also work positively in
that direction so that
expected outcome could
be achieved.” Birla
called the falling sit-
tings of legislatures a
matter of concern. He
said half of the availa-
ble time is lost to slo-
ganeering. —ANI

Alwar: In yet another
case of corruption in
Alwar Nagar Parishad,
the Anti-Corruption
Bureau (ACB) on
Thursday arrested the
councilor of Alwar Mu-
nicipal Council and two
contractors with an
amount of Rs 5.15 lakh
which was collected
from several contrac-
tors in lieu of issuing
them work orders.
The accused con-
tractors Rajiv Bharga-
va and Ramesh Chand
Gupta had collected
the amount from other
contractors, who got
work orders in a pro-
ject and gave it to the
councilor Narendra
Meena as commission
for getting the work or-
ders issued, DG ACB B
L Soni said.
The ACB got a tip-off
about the deal, and a
team conducted an op-
eration and caught the
councilor and the two
contractors. They were
arrested under the pre-
vention of corruption
act, an ACB official said
in Jaipur.
ADG ACB Dinesh
MN monitored the ac-
tion which was execut-
ed by ASPs Surendra
Sharma and Bajran
Singh.
The accused were on
the radar of the ACB for
a month after receiving
a complaint against
Meena.
ACB kept some phone
numbers on surveil-
lance and listened to the
conversation of Naren-
dra Meena. The ACB
listened to conversa-
tions of an IAS officer
and a politician too.
Minister Tikaram Ju-
lly also helped in this
but the chairman was
probably unaware of
the commission game.

and Former CM Vasundhara Raje blessed the
couple. It was a perfect occasion for informal
chat between Dhankhar and Raje.
Interesting pairs of
ministers and new
appointees have been
formed after political
appointments in various
departments. These are
pairs of Dharmendra
Rathore and Vishvendra
Singh in tourism. Two jat
leaders Khandela and
Lalchand Kataria in the
agriculture department.
Sportsperson Krishna
Poonia and Ashok
Chandna are in the
sports department.
Poonia has been made
Sports Council chairman
while Chandna is the
sports minister. On the
other hand, Rajeev Arora
came to Shakuntala
Rawat’s industry
department. Joginder
Awana came to Tikaram
Jully’s department. Now
many discussions are
going on in the circles of
Congress. Will these
leaders work like a
double engine or two
power centers will be
formed in every depat?

The Animal Hus-
bandry Department
had started the Ring
Vaccination campaign
to stop FMD in cows
and buffaloes. The
campaign was run
from Jan 3 to February
1 but now the depart-
ment has extended the
campaign for 15 days
from February 2 to 16
citing the demand. But
it is surprising that the
order to extend the du-
ration of the campaign
was issued on Tuesday
whereas after only 2
days the campaign
will end on February
16. Now the jokes are
being cracked in the
department regarding
this ridiculous order
that the campaign has
been extended only for
the sake of paperwork.

WHATSAPP USERS
New tactics: Pakistani ISI agents are administering several
WhatsApp groups in the name of UP-Punjab Assembly elections
Rajiv Gaur
Jodhpur: Pakistan is
trying new tactics of
infiltration in the bor-
der areas of western
Rajasthan. After failing
in honeytrap tricks, Pa-
kistan is now targeting
WhatsApp users. The
activity is directly
linked to the elections
of Punjab and UP. In or-
der to evade suspicion,
Pakistani agents are ad-
ministering several
WhatsApp groups in
the name of UP-Punjab
elections.
The WhatsApp
groups are directly re-
lated to Pakistan’s intel-
ligence agency ISI. To
carry out terrorist ac-
tivities, many What-
sApp groups have been
created with Pakistan
numbers. The worrying
factor is that youth
from the border areas
of Rajasthan adjoining
Pakistan has been add-
ed to these groups. In
these groups, the Paki-
stani intelligence agen-
cy is conspiring to use
the civilians there to
carry out terrorist ac-
tivities. When these
WhatsApp groups were
investigated, it came to
light that their leader is
a person named Walid.
WHATSAPP GROUPS
IB nabs two in Ajmer for
passing info to Pakistan
First India Bureau
Ajmer: A team of Intel-
ligence Bureau (IB) on
Thursday arrested two
persons from Kis-
hangarh on the suspi-
cion of supplying secret
information to the
neighbouring enemy
country Pakistan. The
duo was later taken to
Jaipur for further in-
vestigation.
According to sourc-
es, one of the suspects
works as manager at a
mobile shop while the
other works at the
parking lot of a hospi-
tal. The duo have been
providing their Paki-
stani handlers infor-
mation about the vil-
lages in bordering dis-
tricts for a long time
now. After getting the
input, IB sleuths had
kept a tab on them.
The IB team is now
interrogating the two
and going through the
documents seized from
their possession. How-
ever, what type of in-
formation they were
passing over is yet to be
known.

pital. The angry villag-
ers set the truck on fire.
They also pelted stones
on the other truck.
In Udaipur, two mo-

party will form the next
government in Gujarat
for which the party is
focusing on booth man-
agement in the state.
A Chintan Shivir
will be organized in
Dwarka in the coming
days in which around
300 prominent leaders
will sit together to
brainstorm,” he said.
He said that the Guja-
rat government had
said that there have
been 10,000 deaths due
to corona while Rahul
Gandhi has said that
the death toll in the
covid period was above
3 lakh. People in Guja-
rat have no facilities.
This time, Gujarat will
not fall into the trap of
BJP, he said. Gehlot
government has given
employment to one lakh
people. “Because of
this, BJP could not win
a single byelection in
Gujarat. BJP has a sec-
ond-class leadership in
Gujarat,” he added.
Yogesh Sharma
Jaipur: Amid the calls
of AAP and Owaisi, the
Congress in Rajasthan
took steps towards
strengthening the Mus-
lim vote bank through
political appointments.
First of all, political ap-
pointments are being
implemented. With the
emphasis on the partici-
pation of minority lead-
ers in the organization
and power, new leaders
are being groomed.
It is becoming a prob-
lem day by day for Con-
gress to retain its inter-
nal vote. The Muslim
vote has always been the
backbone of the Con-
gress, but in the last few
years, regional parties
have almost snatched
the Muslim vote bank
from the Congress in
many states of the coun-
try
. Now, these efforts
have started in Ra-
jasthan as well. AAP is
ready to spread its feet
while Owaisi of AIMIM
has raised concern.
Till now, Kayamkha-
ni, Mewati, Chisti, Kag-
zi got political appoint-
ments. As a minister of
state in Gehlot govt, Za-
hida has been taken as a
new face while Shale
Mohammad is already a
minister in the cabinet.
Rajasthan has a Muslim
population of around 35
lakh. There are still
Urdu Academy, Madar-
sa Board and Minority
Finance Corporation
left where Muslim faces
can be accommodated.
However, internal poli-
tics is also hot among
the Muslim leaders as-
sociated with the organ-
ization that only MLAs
are being given prefer-
ence in political ap-
pointments.

Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: One more IAS
from Rajasthan is now
looking to head for Cen-
tral deputation. Senior
IAS and ACS rank of-
ficer Sudhansh Pant,
who has been handling
the responsibility of
the PHED, has written a
request letter to DoP,
submitted last week, to
provide him NOC to
head for the deputation.
1991 batch IAS Pant
will be appointed as Ad-
ditional Secretary in
the Central govern-
ment. Truth be told,
Sudhansh wants to
work in Delhi as he has
spent 5 years - from 2014
to 2019 - in Delhi. In
2019, he had to head
back to Rajasthan due
to the cooling-off clause
of the service condi-
tions. But when the
Covid crisis hit the na-
tion, the Central gov-
ernment called him
back to Delhi as special
case owing to his exper-
tise in the medical sec-
tor. Pant made efforts
that he continues to be
in the Centre and that
he does not return to
Rajasthan for which he
had requested a NOC
from the state govern-
ment.
But surprisingly, in-
stead of giving him
NOC,theRajasthangov-
ernment promoted him
to the high chair of ACS
in January 2021 and also
handed him the reins of
an important depart-
ment like the PHED,
and for the past one
year, Pant has dedicated
himself to better the de-
partment, which is
marred with various
problems and immense
political involvement.
But such is the situation
that Pant has finally
given up and therefore
instead of spending his
energy here, he has
made up his mind to
head to Delhi.
Knowledgeablesourc-
es reveal that after Usha
Sharma became Chief
Secretary, the adminis-
trative conditions in
Secretariat have
changed to a huge ex-
tent. When in January
2021 Sudhansh was
forcefully appointed as
ACS, at that time there
was a need of ACS rank
officers in Niranjan Ar-
ya’s team. But in the
changed situation, there
is almost completed
guarantee that this time
Sudhansh will be given
the NOC and it is after
assessing this situation
that Sudhansh has gone
ahead with his plan.
Till now 7 IAS have
already gone to Delhi
under the current gov-
ernment and if the situ-
ation persists, there
will be a dearth of both
quality and quantity in
senior bureaucracy in
the state.
In ‘changed’ circumstances, Pant again hopes to head to Centre!
DELHI CALLING?
Sources also claim that Sudhansh is actually the
‘Government of India material’ officer, who is well
versed with the working of the union
government. He is also a trusted officer of the
central government and therefore, he will be
accorded a good posting soon.With this
development, 6 senior IAS from the state will be
in a queue to head for Delhi

As AAP and Owaisi take over to attract Muslim voters, Raj govt emphasizes on participation of minority leaders in the organisation
First India Bureau
Jaipur: There are a
few incidents in the cur-
rent politics of Ra-
jasthan which can be
termed as an extremely
rare occurrence and
one such is the travel of
CM Ashok Gehlot and
former Deputy CM
Sachin Pilot albeit to-
gether. Both Gehlot and
Pilot were on Punjab
tour on Wednesday and
the AICC made the pro-
gram of both to return
together from Chandi-
garh to Jaipur. The 2
leaders, who appeared
on the opposite spec-
trum of the same govt
several months back,
would have travelled to-
gether in the plane un-
der the predetermined
program however, at
the last moment a sud-
den change occurred in
Pilot's program and he
had to head to Jodhpur
and therefore CM Ge-
hlot returned to Jaipur.
In this way, the political
observers in Jaipur
were bereft of a rare
sighting, one that would
have fed the commenta-
tors and editors with
enough 'masala' to last a
fortnight, maybe more.
Last-minute change berefts Rajasthan
of a rare Gehlot-Pilot ‘SIGHTING’!
CM RELEASES
LSG’S MAGAZINE
Jaipur: Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot on Thursday
released the Rajasthan
Local Self Governance
department’s magazine
‘Rajasthan Swayat Shasan’
at the Chief Minister’s
residence. While congratu-
lating the president of the
organization Kewal Chand
Gulechha and other office
bearers for the publication
of the magazine, Gehlot
said that this magazine
would prove to be useful
as a reference book for
autonomous govt institu-
tions as well as other
departments. The general
public will be able to get
necessary information
regarding the work related
to autonomous institutions.
Secretary of the organiza-
tion, former IAS Pradeep
Borad said that orders
other useful info have been
included in the magazine.

MUSLIM VOTES MATTER!
In WB, Mamata broke away from
Cong to form TMC and also took
away Muslim vote. Reddy's YSR
party shook Cong roots in AP. SP
and BSP in UP have already taken
away Muslim votes from Cong. Ke-
jri snatched Muslim vote from Cong
in Delhi. JDS snatches Muslim vote
from Cong in K’taka RJD takes
Muslim vote from Cong in Bihar.
With the political appointments, perhaps a new
tradition has been initiated in Rajasthan. CM
Gehlot has turned a leaf as after Dharmendra Rathore's
taking over, Gehlot attended the taking over of Ma-
hadeo Khandela as well. Interestingly, now Gehlot will
also be present for Dalit leader and Baseri MLA Khiladi
Lal Bairwa's taking over as Chairman of Rajasthan SC
Commission at 2 PM on February 19. Moreover, this
time around state in-charge Ajay Maken and PCC Chief
Govind Singh Dotasra will also bear witness. In the
past, the CM never went to the offices after political
appointments were made. Interestingly, word doing
the round is that independent MLA Mahadeo Singh
was made chairman of Farmers Commission,
however, he was reportedly unsat-
isfied with this post, since he is
a former union minister. Taking
stock of this, CM Gehlot went
to see Khandela assume
charge and even praised
him immensely.

Along with this, Gehlot
govt was successful in
auctioning another air-
craft (B200 ) for twice its
reserve price. Now the
biggest need of the govt
is the purchase process
for VVIP helicopters,
for which a high-level
meeting was held under
the chairmanship of
CS on Thursday, in
which she gave instruc-
tions to issue letters of
intent for purchase.
 The reserve price for the
aircraft was 9 crore while the
final sale occurred at 18.50 cr.
 3rd aircraft (C-90) also
went for as much as 2 times
over its reserve price of 3.25
crore with the actual sale
price being Rs 7.60 crore.
 This price is almost three
times the actual purchase
price of this aircraft of 2.74 cr.
 After the failed attempts
of 2 previous govts, span-
ning across a decade, Gehlot
govt has finally succeeded
in auctioning the abandoned
govt Agusta helicopter.
 The B-200 and C-90,
which were lying idle for more
than a year, were also sold for
more than double the price.
 This auction is also im-
portant for Augusta helicop-
ter because it was almost the
13th time that the bidding
process was carried out.
 Earlier, the base price
of ‘Augusta’ helicopter was
pegged at Rs 12.40 crore,
whereas last time the at-
tempt to auction it for Rs
4.50 cr proved unsuccessful.
