Congress leader Priyan-
ka Gandhi Vadra on Fri-
day said that the BJP is
scattered in Rajasthan
and it does not have a
Chief Ministerial face for
the upcoming State As-
sembly polls.
“The BJPis a scattered
party in Rajasthan and it
does not have a face for
the CM’s post. The PM is
roaming every corner of
the state. Sometimes, it
seems that he is out to
find his Chief Ministerial
face,” Gandhi said while
addressing a poll rally at
Sagwara in Dungarpur
district. She said voters
will have to decide what
kind of leaders they want.
“Modi is seeking votes
in his name.Who will run
the state? He will not
come from Delhi to run
the state, a local leader is
needed for that,” she add-
ed. Gandhi also asked the
voters to be careful if
emotions and religion are
used with a design to get
their votes.
“If emotions and reli-
gion are used in politics,
one has to be careful. If
your emotions are being
used, then you will have
to be careful and think
whether they are working
for you or just taking the
name of religion,” Pri-
yanka Gandhi said. P8

CENTRAL GOVT SHOULD
MAKE ‘RIGHT TO SOCIAL
SECURITY’ LAW: GEHLOT
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot, who went
to the election rally
with Priyanka Gandhi, made
a political attack on Prime
Minister Narendra Modi in
Sagwara and Chittorgarh,
saying that PM Modi comes
to make false allegations.
Gehlot said that Sonia
Gandhi and Manmohan
Singh had passed 4 laws.
“Now the Central Govern-
ment should make the 5th
law in the country - Right
to Social Security. In this,
every family gets monthly
money. The allegations of
the Prime Minister and his
leaders have no merit. They
do not have the courage to
discuss the criticisms of their
actions. We have given 10
guarantees. These include
everything from insurance
to social security schemes.
They call themselves
religious, but which of them
served the cows in Lumpi.
Our government gave Rs
40,000 to the cattle rearers.
No government has done
such work in the entire
country,” CM Gehlot said. P8
Gandhi urges voters
to be very careful if
emotions, religion
are used for votes

PAKISTANI CRAP
ABOUT PITCHES
& INDIA’S SHOW
ndia’s stupendous performance in the ODI
World Cup 2023 is like a dream. While fans
are overjoyed and bubbling with hope of the
Cup coming to India, there is no dearth of naysayers
especially from Pakistan. A few Pakistani cricketers
raised the bogey of pitches being swapped for an
India match. One of them went to the extent of ques-
tioning India captain Rohit Sharma for tossing the
coin away from him to prevent the rival captain from
reading it. All of them got a fitting rebuttal from
other Pakistani cricketers like WasimAkram, Misbah
ul Haq, Moin Khan and Shoaib Malik, all veterans
of the game who are part of an informal show called
The Pavilion.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar also rub-
bished the charge and called the pitch critics “mo-
rons”. Everything depended on who won the toss.
Kane Williamson, the New Zealand captain whose
side lost to India in the semi-final, called the
Wankhede surface “pretty good”.

NMC FORMULA FACES
A SOUTHERN WALL
n August the National Medical Commission
(NMC) announced its decision to limit the
undergraduate seats in each state. With the
underlying idea being to improve the quality of educa-
tion and to provide the undergraduate seats in each
state were decided to be limited to 100 seats per 10
lakh population. “It is expected that this will reduce
regional disparities in the availability of healthcare
professionals and will go a long way in ensuring ef-
fective quality of edu-
cation. With this ratio
there will still be po-
tential for the addi-
tion of about 40,000
MBBS seats in the
country if the medical
colleges are evenly
distributed in states,”
the NMC said in a
press release.
The scheme ran
afoul of the southern
states which forced
the NMC to suspend
its decision on UG
medical seats in
states on the basis of
population. The
strongest opposition
came from Tamil
Nadu, Karnataka and
the Union territory
of Puducherry as
they and other south-
ern states would have been unable to increase the
number of their MBBS seats for the academic ses-
sion 2024-25.
The states of Bihar and Jharkhand would have
gained from the scheme as they are deficient states
in terms of MBBS seats which would have allowed
them to add more seats. Southern states of Kerala,
Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra
Pradesh already have medical seats in excess of 100
for a population of 10 lakh. With Tamil Nadu Chief
Minister MK Stalin calling it an encroachment on the
rights of the state, the NMC will now be consulting
all stakeholders to rework the policy.

ROHIT ALL
THE WAY
When Rohit was picked in
the Indian team, way back
in 2007, he was regarded
as a prodigious talent. But
he never justified the label
as he wasn’t able to ce-
ment his position in the In-
dian ODI side. He admitted
that not being a part of the
2011 World Cup team was
a big blow for him. It was
MS Dhoni, who promoted
him to open the innings
in the Champions Trophy
2013 which became
his permanent spot.
Rohit validated his cap-
tain’s faith and now seems
a lot like Dhoni in the way
he has become a master
tactician on field! As India
gets ready for One final
dance to lift the coveted
ICC ODI trophy, Rohit has
the law of averages in
his favour. He has hit just
one century in the World
Cup so far, with a string of
scores in 40s. Indian fans
would certainly hope that a
big knock is waiting for
the ‘Hitman’ in the final!

eaders walk
the talk and
exemplify
through their
own exam-
ple! As Team India gets
ready to take on Australia
in the final, the whole
world is marvelling at the
brilliance of the ‘Men in
Blue’. To appreciate this
dominance of the Indian
side, one needs to recall
that after India’s crushing
loss to England in the
semi-finals of the T20
World Cup last year, skip-
per Rohit Sharma men-
tioned that he wants his
team to play an aggressive
brand of cricket. The lack
of which was the prime
reason for India’s defeat in
that knockout game. But
how this change would
come about, was still a big
question for most experts
and Indian fans.
Rohit was personally
under lots of pressure, cop-
ing with the criticism that
he didn’t perform to poten-
tial in crunch games, espe-
cially World Cup knock-
outs! In the last one year,
however, the Rohit-Dravid
duo have brought about a
huge turnaround. They
made many changes in the
team personnel eyeing the
ODI World Cup in India
whereby they experiment-
ed in batting positions
along with the approach of
each batter. Rohit’s own
style went for a complete
overhaul as he began at-
tacking and going after the
bowling from the word go.
But he wasn’t always suc-
cessful. Then came the
usual criticism and write
ups about how Rohit was
not in good nick. Experts
suggested that it wasn’t his
usual style to attack the
bowlers straightaway as he
was a player who built his
innings steadily and then
cut loose in a big way at
the end.
India had two batters of
similar mould in the top
order which prevented
them from posting big to-
tals, something which had
become the order of the
day after England changed
the ODI template a few
years ago. As the captain
and leader of the group,
Rohit took it upon himself
to take the challenge and
that effort has finally paid
off. A year down the line
Rohit has had a phenome-
nal impact in the World
Cup with his brisk, bellig-
erent knocks. He may not
have the hundreds but his
initial bursts and command
over the opposition bowl-
ers has put India in com-
fortable positions all along
the championship!
Rohit brought his new
game not just in the league
matches but also in the
semi-finals against the Ki-
wis. He slayed all the criti-
cism about him and the
Indian team that they never
played aggressive cricket
in knockout games. Bat-
ting first Rohit hit a 29 ball
47 with a strike rate of 162,
which provided a great
launchpad and put New
Zealand bowlers on the
backfoot. This start gave
the platform for Kohli and
the rest of the middle order
to stay ahead in the game
and put up a massive total.
While the headlines may
be about Kohli and Shami,
Rohit’s impact with his
batting should receive the
most accolades. Such has
been his six hitting form
that he surpassed the
mighty Chris Gayle to hit
maximum sixes in a single
World Cup. Though Rohit
now has the most number
of sixes in ODIs, it’s not all
about hitting. He has also
assessed situations well as
against England when In-
dian top order fell cheaply
but Rohit curbing his ag-
gression took India to a par
total.
Rohit’s batting form has
also rubbed on his captain-
cy. In the semis, India was
under the pump when Dar-
yl Mitchel and Kane Wil-
liamson stitched a 181-run
partnership and threatened
to take the game away. Ro-
hit asked his pacers to
bowl round the wicket and
had excellent field place-
ments for each batter. Lat-
er, Rohit brought in Kul-
deep after the 40th over, so
that he could have an extra
fielder on the boundary.
That proved a masterstroke
as Mark Chapman holed
out in trying to hit a six,
almost ensuring India’s
win with just a few overs
left.
When Rohit was picked
in the Indian team, way
back in 2007, he was re-
garded as a prodigious tal-
ent. But he never justified
the label as he wasn’t able
to cement his position in
the Indian ODI side. He
admitted that not being a
part of the 2011 World Cup
team was a big blow for
him. It was M.S. Dhoni,
who promoted him to open
the innings in the Champi-
ons Trophy 2013 which
became his permanent
spot. Rohit validated his
captain’s faith and now
seems a lot like Dhoni in
the way he has become a
master tactician on field!
As India gets ready for
One final dance to lift the
coveted ICC ODI trophy,
Rohit has the law of aver-
ages in his favour. He has
hit just one century in the
World Cup so far, with a
string of scores in 40s. In-
dian fans would certainly
hope that a big knock is
waiting for the ‘Hitman’in

Jaipur: It is said that
there is neither
permanent friendship nor
permanent enmity in
politics! Something similar
is happening in the politics
of Bikaner where Ravi
Meghwal was once thinking
of attacking Devi S Bhati
and had become active in
Dalit dominated areas of
Kolayat while preparing
himself to ask for a ticket
from BJP. Now, when his
father Arjun Meghwal
became friendly with Bhati,
Ravi Meghwal also started
campaigning in favor of
Devi Singh Bhati. After his
father’s request, Ravi did
not even ask for a ticket
from Khajuwala. The Bhati
family had been defeated in
the last 2 polls in Kolayat.

OPS & other promises of Cong proved false in Himachal
Pankaj Soni
Jaipur
FormerHimachalPradesh
CM Jairam Thakur said
that not declaring a chief
ministerial candidate
from BJP in Rajasthan is
party’s election strategy.
Thakur, who is campaign-
ing for the assembly polls,
said that Congress cheat-
ed in Himachal in the
name of false guarantees,
but it is his only effort
that the people of Ra-
jasthan should not be-
come its victim. Some
excerpts from the conver-
sation of First India spe-
cial correspondent Pankaj
Soni with Jairam Thakur
on various issues.
What are the chances
of forming a BJP gov-
ernment in Rajasthan?
It seems that the public is
completely ready to
change the government.
All the guarantees of
Congress are completely
false. About 11 months
ago, assembly elections
were held in Himachal
Pradesh in which Con-
gress had given the same
guarantees as in Ra-
jasthan. Rajasthan CM
Ashok Gehlot said in a
press conference in
Shimla that Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi ful-
fills whatever he promis-
es.You had also promised
to waive off the entire
loan of farmers in Ra-
jasthan in 10 days, what
happened to it? Exactly in
this way the people of
Himachal were misled
with false guarantees.
The people of Rajasthan
need to understand that
they should not fall into
such false temptations.
The OPS was men-
tioned as the main issue
is ouster of your govt in
HP? Here too Congress
is promising the same.
All this is a thing of the
past now. Before forming
the govt in Himachal
Pradesh, Congress had
given 10 guarantees in
which it was said that
there are 22 lakh women
of the state aged between
18 years to 70 years, for
them a decision will be
taken in very first cabinet
meeting that Rs 1500 will
be deposited in their ac-
counts every month. Al-
most 12 months have
passed but till now not
even a single rupee has
come into the account of
any woman. Most of the
7 guarantees given so far
in Raj are same which
were given in Himachal.
BJP did not reveal the
CM face. It is like a wed-
ding procession without
a groom?
No. It’s not like that. The
central leadership of BJP
has taken this decision af-
ter careful consideration.
Who will become the
Chief Minister will be de-
cided after the formation
of the government with
the opinion of the MLAs.
What are main issues
in Rajasthan?
Corruption and paper
leak are big issues here.
In Rajasthan, the name of
Red Diary became asso-
ciated with CM Gehlot in
such a way that whenever
Red Diary is mentioned,
CM Gehlot’s nervous-
ness increases. A double
engine government is
very necessary for Ra-
jasthan, and in the up-
coming assembly elec-
tions, BJP will win with
full majority.

Mayawati on Friday
said that the Congress
government has ex-
ploited the farmers,
Dalits and the poor
while the BJP govern-
ment has also not
lagged behind. She said
this while addressing a
huge public meeting or-
ganised at Agricultural
Produce Market Ground
at Nadbai in Bharatpur
district in support of
BSP candidates.
She appealed to vote
in favour of BSP candi-
dates contesting in
Bharatpur, Nadbai,
Deeg-Kumher, Nagar,
Vair, Bayana and Ka-
man seats.
Mayawati fiercely at-
tacked the Congress
saying that when the
Congress government
was in power at the
Centre, the followers of
Baba Saheb had de-
manded to give him the
title of Bharat Ratna,
but the Congress gov-
ernment did not even
give him the honour.
Thousands gather at Mayawati’s public meeting at Agricultural
Produce Market Ground at Nadbai in Bharatpur on Friday.

thinks about how he
stayed in Congress for so
many years, but now eve-

“Ashok Gehlot did not
run a government, but
ran a government of loot.
Assam is one third of Ra-
jasthan. Today if Assam
can provide petrol at Rs
98 then why not Gehlot
government. You should
ask why you charge Rs
10 more from us,” he said
while addressing a public
meeting in support of
BJP candidates Subhash
Meel from Khandela As-
sembly and Ramlal Shar-
ma in Chomu.
“If anywhere the price
of petrol and diesel is
high then it is Rajasthan
because Gehlot is filling
his treasury by looting
the poor. PM Modi’s di-
rect instructions are that
the electricity bill should
be the lowest in the BJP
ruled state. The price of
petrol and diesel will also
be the lowest,” he said.

Would“Modihaitomumkinhai”turntrue?
Sharat K Verma
Ahmedabad
After 20 long years, it
would be an opportunity
for India to take sweet re-
venge from Australia on
Sunday when the two
teams meet in the finals of
theICCMen’sWorldCup
at the Narendra Modi Sta-
dium in Ahmedabad. It
was in 2003 when the
Aussies had broken the
Indian dream of winning
the second World Cup in
South Africa.
There are many simi-
larities in both the 2003
and 2023 editions of the
ICC World Cup. In
2003, the Australian
team had consecutively
won 10 matches to reach
the finals. And now in
2023, the Indian team
has done the same by
winning 10 matches on
the trot and reaching the
finals unbeaten.
In both the editions of
2003 and 2023, Indian
batsmen were the highest
run-scorers. While in
2003 it was Sachin Ten-
dulkar with 673 runs, in
this edition of 2023, Virat
Kohli is the top run-get-
ter with 711 runs.
Another similarity for
India in both editions is a
“makeshift” wicketkeep-
er Rahul. In 2003, Rahul
Dravid had donned the
keeping gloves and had
shown an impressive per-
formancebothbehindand
in front of the stumps.
Dravid had scored 318
runs in 11 matches then.
Now in 2023, KL Rahul,
who wasn’t a regular
keeper for India, has
scored 386 runs in 10
games. Notably, KL Ra-
hul has got the chance of
keeping wickets for India
as the country’s regular
keeper Rishabh Pant is
recuperating from a seri-
ous injury that he suffered
in an accident last year.
While in 2003, Rahul
Dravid was the vice-cap-
tain, in 2023, KL Rahul
was made the vice-cap-
tain as Hardik Pandya got
injured during India’s
match against New Zea-
land in Dharamshala and
had to be left out.
As two famous sayings
go “records are meant to
be broken” and “history
repeats itself”, India
would be hoping and
praying that the first one
turns true as they would
want to break the notori-
ous record of Australia’s
dominance over them in
the crucial matches. If
India is able to win this
coveted title this time,
another popular saying of
the current era “Modi hai
to mumkin hai” would
come true as Prime Min-
ister Narendra Modi
would be watching the
match from the stands of
the stadium that has been
christened on his name.

conveyed his best wish-

maintain the same level
of performance dis-
played in the league
phase & the semi-final,
they will be a formidable
force to contend with.
“India is looking
smashing at the moment.
India have played very
well in the tournament,
and just one match and
Australia stand between
them and the World Cup
trophy. If India continue
to play like how they have
performed in the tourna-
ment so far, then it will be
tough to stop them. It will
be a good match as Aus-
tralia has a good team as
well,” he remarked.
INDIA VS AUSTRALIA FINAL
India would like to take a sweet revenge from Australia
of their World Cup final defeat 20 years ago in 2003
INDIA & AUSTRALIA CAN BE DECLARED JOINT WINNERS IF...
For the final, as well as the semifinals, ICC has kept the provi-
sion of one extra day (reserve day) to get an outcome of the
matches, besides more extra time. If the India-Australia match
is abandoned or there is no result at the end of the reserve day, both
the teams shall be declared joint winners. If the India-Australia match is
a tie, both the teams will compete in a Super Over, which will deter-
mine the winner. If the Super Over is also a tie, then subsequent Super
Overs will be played till a winner emerges. In the rare case of weather
or other conditions preventing the Super Over from being completed
even on the reserve day, the teams shall be declared joint winners.
Flight tickets fares have
gone up nearly 6 times.
While a flight ticket from
major cities to Ahmedabad
generally costs between `5,000 to
`6,000, the price are now around
`40,000. Due to the demand, some
airlines are now deploying extra
flights just for the match day.
The hotel room tariffs for
the night of the match
have gone up as high
as `2 lakh in top five-star
hotels in the city. The other hotels
have also increased their rates
as there is an enthusiasm for the
match not only in India, but people
from abroad also wants to come.

CM Ashok Gehlot said
on Friday that the BJP’s
manifesto for the upcom-
ing state Assembly polls
has no substance and the
public has been greatly
disappointed by it.
Asked about the saf-
fron party’s manifesto,
Gehlot told reporters at
the airport here, “There is
nothing new. According
to me, they did not even
do homework.”
He said the plans that
the Congress government
has already implemented
or the guarantees that
have been promised by
the ruling party in the de-
sert state have been writ-
ten in a twisted manner in
the BJP’s manifesto.
“The public has been
very disappointed and
there is no substance in
the manifesto. That is
why I said, less home-
work seems to have been
done,” the Chief Minis-
ter said.

slammed the BJP-led
Centre, saying that peo-
ple, including farmers,
are suffering due to in-
flation.
She said the voters will
have to decide what kind
of leaders they want-
those who work for them
or those who only talk of
religion and don’t work
for them. “The situation
in country is such that a
farmer earns an average
of Rs 27 a day and big
industrialists like Adani,
who is a special friend of
Modi, earns Rs 16,000 cr
a day. The govt provides
complete assistance to
himandloansarewaived.
The same govt says it
doesn’t have money to
waive the loans of farm-
ers,” she said adding,
“When you are in trou-
ble, they turn their backs
on you.” Gandhi blamed
Centre’s policies for
price rise. She also recit-
ed Gayatri Mantra during
her address & said she
learnt it from her grand-

Gandhi and had taught it
to her children as well.

s the vibrant lights
of Diwali faded
away, the anticipa-
tion for the up-
coming wedding
season took center
stage. While the
city was abuzz with festive cheer,
many found themselves pondering
last-minute outfit choices. In prepa-
ration for the wedding extravaganza,
CityFirstisheretoguideyouthrough
beautiful style statements that tran-
scend both attire and accessories.
In the era of modern-day wed-
dings showcased on social media,
every bride-to-be's dream of a fairy
tale wedding becomes a reality with
the right guidance. Moreover,
achieving this within a minimal
budget is not only possible but also
leaves everyone awestruck by the
sheer beauty of it all. The wedding
journey begins with various themed
events like haldi, mehndi, sangeet,
and the grand wedding itself. Each
occasion demands a unique and
stunning outfit. For the vibrant haldi
ceremony, hues of yellow dominate
the scene, but don't shy away from
experimenting with contrasting col-
ours to add that extra pop.
Moving on to the mesmerizing
mehndi ceremony, green takes cent-
er stage. Whether it's a saree, lehen-
ga, or an indo-western ensemble,
simplicity becomes the key to acing
the look. Minimalism paired with
elegance creates an aura of grace
that is sure to leave an impression.
Finally, for the grand wedding
day, the choice between the classic
red lehenga or shades of pink is
timeless. These traditional colors,
steeped in cultural significance,
continue to captivate hearts and
