MODI: LIVING FOR THE
POOR, LEARNING FOR SELF!
ignesh Shah, a BJP leader from Gujarat
brings to us several anecdotes
about our be-
lovedPM.Herecallsinstancesfromhisinter-
actionswithModijiatapersonallevel.These
memories
of Modiji as shared by Jignesh
Shah paint a clear picture of a world leader
who is guided by divine providence and is
incredibly
pure and wise. The kind of love
andpopularity

his extensive knowledge, his magnanim
ous
heart and his unstinting
support to all those
inneed.Hisuncannyabilitytokeepaheadof
the times and his perspectives on technology
that treat it not as a barrier but as a great fa-
cilitator,makeshimtheidolof ayoungIndia!
In1995-96whenourfirstgovtwasformed,
there was a five-day meeting in Chharodi.
I came in contact with Modiji at a personal
level and even as I recollect my interaction
with Modiji of those years, I am filled with
emotion. His persona has always been that
of an extremely
emotional and a simple
person who harbours
and nurtures feel-
ings of compassion for his fellow mates.
Once it happened
during that 4 day long
session that all mins were within the prem-
ises for a meeting and their drivers were
sitting outside. Modiji came to me and gave
his special standing instructio
n to me “Al-
ways serve food to the drivers first”. He
stated a simple reason that supported
this
instructio
n. He explained
to me that since
the drivers are always moving around with
us, whether it is day or night and their duty
is extremely
tough, they need to be taken
care of. They do a selfless service for us
which goes much beyond their call of duty
.
The salary the drivers receive is not ade-
quate reward for their devotion. Therefore,
we should keep their needs foremost in our
mind. Where do we find a world leader so
acutely aware of the difficulties of the coo-
mon man? I was really very fortunate
to
have got a chance to know Modiji’s thought-
process and ideology from a closer angle.
Not just this, we also could see that Modi-
ji possessed a deep know-how
of technology
and had a keen foresight when it came to
technicalapplications.Heusedtoliveinone
of the rooms of Maninagar RSS Bhawan at
that time. One day he asked me if I had a
tech-savvy friend who could help him
get a computer.
I said I had one, Anil
Patel, who had a tech business.
Anil is in Canada now. Well I ar-
ranged for a meeting between
Narendraji and my friend
and I must admit, I was in
awe of Modiji when I wit-
nessed him interactin
g with
Anil. Modiji held a discussion
withAnilPatelfornearlyhalf
an hour pertaining to comput-
ers. I am talking about an era
which can easily be termed as
the dawn of the computer age in
India. Computer
s was a new sub-
jectinourcountryanditwasextremely
rare
tofindsomeonepossessing
suchdeepknowl-
edge of computers. Also people of Modiji’s
ageinthosedayswerenotusuallyinterested
in this field, and one could forget about dis-
cussing the subject at length with someone.
Well, after talking through the intrica-
cies of computer
applicatio
ns, Modiji
asked Anil if he would mind getting him a
computer. Anil agreed readily and then
Modiji worked on it, learning more about
computer
applicatio
ns. In the 90’s era wit-
nessing a well-know
n leader display such
interest and ability at computers was a
clear inspiration for me.
I also recall another motivating aspect of
his personality
. His room at Maninagar RSS
Bhawan was 10 feet by 10 feet. In the middle
of theroomwashisbed.Andbelievemeyou,
when I used to visit him, I could see that he
was engulfed within a sea of books. He had
stacked up books up to a height of 6 feet
around the bed and in the middle of this
ocean of knowledge, Modiji used to be seat-
ed, always engrossed
in deep study
. On his
forehead, there used to be the white mark of
purity
, which is the chandan leip (sandal-
wood paste) as we know it. That vision of
Modiji, a simple man wearing a dhoti, his
face resplendent in the light of wisdom, his
physical presence like that of an ascetic, a
divine light shone on him as he sat in middle
of a room on a bed surrounded with innu-
merable books touching ceiling – well, it is
notpossibleforanyonewhohasbeenwitness
to that vision to remove it from his living
memory! Such was the aura, power, I would
say a magnetic pull, of Modiji’s persona.
I only consider myself extremely
fortu-
nate because this visage, this divine ap-
pearance, manifeste
d itself to me during
those 4 days! And I can say it with convic-
tion, in fact I have no doubt about it, what
Modiji is doing for our country and the
world, he is doing it because he is inspired
by some divine force. Our PM is no ordi-
nary mortal. All his actions are guided by
a calling that goes much deeper and all his
works are invariably imbued with the fra-
grance of spirituality and wisdom.

SPENT 4 DAYS WITH MODIJI:
THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
T
here were about 32-35 ministers in
that session and from among the
3-4 people chosen from Gujarat,
Modiji selected me as a karyakarta. That
was when I got the golden opportunity to
live with him and get to know him for 4
days. I came in contact with Modiji at a
personal level and even as I recollect my
interaction with Modiji of those years, I
am filled with emotion.

Lucknow(PTI): The
list of single-use plastic
(SUP) items being
banned from July 1 is
not comprehensive as it
excludes multi-layer
packaging which is the
real menace when it
comes to plastic con-
tamination, green
think tank Centre for
Science and Environ-
ment (CSE) said on
Wednesday
.
In an August 2021 no-
tification, the Union
environment ministry
had defined SUP com-
modities as plastic
items intended to be
used once for the same
purpose before being
disposed of or recycled.
The notification had
also put forward a plan
for phasing out selected
SUP items.
The ban that comes
into effect from July 1
covers items such as
plastic carry bags (less
than 75 micron in thick-
ness, to be revised to
120 micron in Decem-
ber 2022), earbuds, plas-
tic crockery items
(spoons, plates, glass-
es), straws, and certain
kinds of plastic packag-
ing material.One of the
main concerns with the
ban is the fact that the
list of banned items is
not comprehensive,
said Siddharth Singh,
programme manager,
Solid Waste Manage-
ment unit, CSE.
For one, the list does
not include multi-lay-
ered packaging (MLP).
CSE researchers point-
ed out that MLP is used
in almost all FMCGs,
from chips to shampoos
to gutka pouches.
The government says
that all packaging ma-
terial has been includ-
ed as part of the Ex-
tended Producer Re-
sponsibility (EPR) noti-
fication.
Under this, the com-
panies that manufac-
ture or consume this
material are required
to take it back and send
it for reprocessing and
annual targets have
been fixed for compa-
nies on how much is to
be recollected.
Narain said while
this sounds good on pa-
per, there are huge
problems in the way
EPR has been imple-
mented.
For instance, there is
no information on the
quantity of this plastic
material or the waste
the company generates.
Not only is it based on
self-declaration, but
there is nothing availa-
ble in the public domain
to assess its accuracy
.

‘`2 LAKH REWARD FOR BEHEADING KILLERS’
Janardan Mishra
Agra/Lucknow: Sev-
eral leaders of Hindu
outfits protested along
with organisation
members across UP on
Wednesday against the
heinous murder of
Kanhaiya Lal in
Udaipur, Rajasthan.
Leaders and members
of Akhil Bharatiya
Hindu Mahasabha,
Vishwa Hindu Pari-
shad (VHP) Bajrang
Dal, and BJP Yuva Mor-
cha held protests and
burned effigies in sev-
eral cities, including in
Lucknow, Kanpur, and
Agra.
Sanjay Jaat, spokes-
person of the Akhil
Bharatiya Hindu Ma-
hasabha in Agra, an-
nounced that the Hindu
Mahasabha will re-
ward with Rs 2 lakh
anyone who beheads
the two killers of Kan-
haiya Lal.
He also demanded
that Rajasthan chief
minister Ashok Gehlot
resign from his post as
the killing took place
because of the govern-
ment’s failure to pre-
vent it.
Jaat said that the
killers of Kanhaiya Lal
had threatened to at-
tack Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and
such threats cannot be
tolerated.
Protestors belonging
to Hindu outfits de-
manded death penalty
for the killers of Kan-
haiya Lal and also
stringent action
against radical ele-
ments in society.
Two Mulsim men
had killed tailor Kan-
haiya Lal in Udaipur
over his support for ex-
pelled BJP spokesper-
son Nupur Sharma.
The killers shot a
video of the act and
made it viral on social
media.
The Rajasthan Police
arrested both the kill-
ers from Rajasamand
district in Rajasthan
the very next day.

'Regrettable, un-Islamic': AIMPLB
condemns Udaipur tailor murder
First India Bureau
Lucknow: The All
India Muslim Person-
al Law Board (AIM-
PLB) condemned the
cold-blooded murder
of a tailor in Udaipur
saying that “taking
law into your own
hands is highly con-
demnable, regretta-
ble and un-Islamic”.
In a media state-
ment, Hazrat Maula-
na Khalid Saifullah
Rahmani, General
Secretary of AIMPLB
said, “It is a grave
crime to defame and
slander any religious
personality. The de-
rogatory words spo-
ken by (former) BJP
spokesperson, Nupur
Sharma against
Prophet Muhammad
are very painful for
the Muslim commu-
nity. The inaction of
the government
against this crime is
nothing but rubbing
salts on our wounds.
But, nobody can be
allowed to take the
law into their hands
and declaring some-
one a criminal and
then murdering them
is a highly condemn-
able act.”
He further stated,
“Neither the law nor
the Islamic Sharia al-
low it. The AIMPLB
strongly condemns
the incident of brutal
killing in Udaipur.”
The board also ap-
pealed to the Muslim
community to act pa-
tiently and to not take
law into their own
hands and not in-
dulge in any such ac-
tion that might dis-
turb communal har-
mony and social co-
hesion of the country
.

‘Appeasement
politics behind
Udaipur murder’
Gorakhpur (PTI):
Newly elected BJP MP
from Azamgarh Dinesh
Lal Yadav ‘Nirahua’ on
Wednesday held “poli-
tics of appeasement for
votes” as the reason be-
hind incidents such as
the killing in Udaipur.
The Bhojpuri actor
also said only “nation-
alism” will prevail in
the country.
“The Udaipur inci-
dent is highly con-
demnable and such in-
cidents are caused due
to politics of appease-
ment for votes. Stern
action should be taken
(against the accused)
so that no one dares to
repeat it,” Yadav said
here in response to a
question on the killing.
Kanhaiya Lal Teli, a
tailor, was murdered
on Tuesday at his shop
in Rajasthan’s Udaipur
for allegedly sharing a
provocative remark
made by now-removed
BJP spokesperson Nu-
pur Sharma against
Prophet Mohammad.
Nirahua Yadav also
visited the Gorakhnath
temple in Gorakhpur-
post which he watched
Bollywood flick ‘Major’
with BJP workers.
When asked about
the opposition’s alleged
jibes at him calling him
a performer during the
campaign, Yadav said,
“It is their ignorance...
My guru Chief Minis-
ter Yogi Adityanath
says that art is God gift.
When I saw statue of
‘Nataraj’ (deity) in the
temple, I smiled be-
cause they not only
mocked the gift of God
but also the God. This
is the reason they are
nowhere, and are los-
ing their strongholds.”
Azamgarh has been
considered Samajwadi
Party’s (SP) bastion.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi
MODI: LIVING FOR THE
POOR, LEARNING FOR SELF!
ignesh Shah, a BJP leader from Gujarat
brings to us several anecdotes about our be-
lovedPM.Herecallsinstancesfromhisinter-
actionswithModijiatapersonallevel.These
memories of Modiji as shared by Jignesh
Shah paint a clear picture of a world leader
who is guided by divine providence and is
incredibly pure and wise. The kind of love
andpopularitythatPMModienjoysisdueto
his extensive knowledge, his magnanimous
heart and his unstinting support to all those
inneed.Hisuncannyabilitytokeepaheadof
the times and his perspectives on technology
that treat it not as a barrier but as a great fa-
cilitator,makeshimtheidolof ayoungIndia!
In1995-96whenourfirstgovtwasformed,
there was a five-day meeting in Chharodi.
I came in contact with Modiji at a personal
level and even as I recollect my interaction
with Modiji of those years, I am filled with
emotion. His persona has always been that
of an extremely emotional and a simple
person who harbours and nurtures feel-
ings of compassion for his fellow mates.
Once it happened during that 4 day long
session that all mins were within the prem-
ises for a meeting and their drivers were
sitting outside. Modiji came to me and gave
his special standing instruction to me “Al-
ways serve food to the drivers first”. He
stated a simple reason that supported this
instruction. He explained to me that since
the drivers are always moving around with
us, whether it is day or night and their duty
is extremely tough, they need to be taken
care of. They do a selfless service for us
which goes much beyond their call of duty
.
The salary the drivers receive is not ade-
quate reward for their devotion. Therefore,
we should keep their needs foremost in our
mind. Where do we find a world leader so
acutely aware of the difficulties of the coo-
mon man? I was really very fortunate to
have got a chance to know Modiji’s thought-
process and ideology from a closer angle.
Not just this, we also could see that Modi-
ji possessed a deep know-how of technology
and had a keen foresight when it came to
technicalapplications.Heusedtoliveinone
of the rooms of Maninagar RSS Bhawan at
that time. One day he asked me if I had a
tech-savvy friend who could help him
get a computer. I said I had one, Anil
Patel, who had a tech business.
Anil is in Canada now. Well I ar-
ranged for a meeting between
Narendraji and my friend
and I must admit, I was in
awe of Modiji when I wit-
nessed him interacting with
Anil. Modiji held a discussion
withAnilPatelfornearlyhalf
an hour pertaining to comput-
ers. I am talking about an era
which can easily be termed as
the dawn of the computer age in
India. Computers was a new sub-
jectinourcountryanditwasextremelyrare
tofindsomeonepossessingsuchdeepknowl-
edge of computers. Also people of Modiji’s
ageinthosedayswerenotusuallyinterested
in this field, and one could forget about dis-
cussing the subject at length with someone.
Well, after talking through the intrica-
cies of computer applications, Modiji
asked Anil if he would mind getting him a
computer. Anil agreed readily and then
Modiji worked on it, learning more about
computer applications. In the 90’s era wit-
nessing a well-known leader display such
interest and ability at computers was a
clear inspiration for me.
I also recall another motivating aspect of
his personality
. His room at Maninagar RSS
Bhawan was 10 feet by 10 feet. In the middle
of theroomwashisbed.Andbelievemeyou,
when I used to visit him, I could see that he
was engulfed within a sea of books. He had
stacked up books up to a height of 6 feet
around the bed and in the middle of this
ocean of knowledge, Modiji used to be seat-
ed, always engrossed in deep study
. On his
forehead, there used to be the white mark of
purity
, which is the chandan leip (sandal-
wood paste) as we know it. That vision of
Modiji, a simple man wearing a dhoti, his
face resplendent in the light of wisdom, his
physical presence like that of an ascetic, a
divine light shone on him as he sat in middle
of a room on a bed surrounded with innu-
merable books touching ceiling – well, it is
notpossibleforanyonewhohasbeenwitness
to that vision to remove it from his living
memory! Such was the aura, power, I would
say a magnetic pull, of Modiji’s persona.
I only consider myself extremely fortu-
nate because this visage, this divine ap-
pearance, manifested itself to me during
those 4 days! And I can say it with convic-
tion, in fact I have no doubt about it, what
Modiji is doing for our country and the
world, he is doing it because he is inspired
by some divine force. Our PM is no ordi-
nary mortal. All his actions are guided by
a calling that goes much deeper and all his
works are invariably imbued with the fra-
grance of spirituality and wisdom.

SPENT 4 DAYS WITH MODIJI:
THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
T
here were about 32-35 ministers in
that session and from among the
3-4 people chosen from Gujarat,
Modiji selected me as a karyakarta. That
was when I got the golden opportunity to
live with him and get to know him for 4
days. I came in contact with Modiji at a
personal level and even as I recollect my
interaction with Modiji of those years, I
am filled with emotion.

Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: It seems
that the Congress party
has fallen alone in Ma-
harashtra. In the Rajya
Sabha elections, its can-
didate Imran Pratap-
garhi won, but the sec-
ond Congress candidate
could not win in the
Legislative Council
elections. The first can-
didate and Mumbai Re-
gional Congress Presi-
dent Bhai Jagtap also
won in the second
round of counting.
Even in his victory, less
of the party and his
own influence came in
handy. Congress has 44
MLAs but got only 41
votes. This means that
three MLAs did cross
voting. The question is,
where did these three
MLAs go? Did they vote
for BJP or go for NCP in
alliance? Keep in mind
that voting in the Legis-
lative Council elections
was done by secret bal-
lot. However, informed
sources say that the
leaders of both Shiv
Sena and NCP are an-
gry with the aggressive
politics of party’s state
president Nana Patole
and Mumbai regional
Congress president
Bhai Jagtap. Sharad Pa-
war’s party is more an-
gry because it feels that
the Congress is getting
OBC votes through
Nana Patole. Till now,
Chhagan Bhujbal of
NCP was considered to
be the biggest OBC lead-
er in the alliance. But
now it is not so. Second,
all the old Congress
leaders are either mar-
ginalized or deliberate-
ly kept silent. Even the
old system of communi-
cation was not working.
The old and traditional
leaders of the Congress
have been sidelined.

AGNIPATH PROTEST IN AP
New Delhi(PTI): The Cong on Wed distanced itself from
party MP Manish Tewari’s stand favouring the Agnipath
scheme, saying
those were entirely
his own views and
not of the party

the new military re-
cruitment initiative is
“anti-national security and anti-youth”.Tewari wrote that
the Agniveer recruitment reform must be contextualised
in the backdrop of the larger canvas of defence reforms.
New Delhi: India on Wednesday dismissed as “completely
unwarranted” the remarks by the UN Human Rights office

system. The UN’s Office of
the High Commissioner for
Human Rights (OHCHR)

activist Setalvad and called for her immediate release.#India:
We are very concerned by the arrest and detention of #WHRD
@TeestaSetalvad and two ex-police officers and call for their
immediate release. They must not be persecuted for their ac-
tivism and solidarity with the victims of the 2002 #GujaratRi-
ots,” the UN Human Rights office said in a tweet on Tuesday.

AAMIR KHAN
DONATES RS 25 L
FROM WHERE DID PAWAR
GARNER FIVE VOTES?
Mahesh Sharma
Mumbai: In the elec-
tions held for the 10
seats of the Legislative
Council in Maharash-
tra, after the BJP, it is
the NCP that had the
best performance. Al-
though the NCP has 53
MLAs in the Assembly,
two of its MLAs - Anil
Deshmukh and Nawab
Malik - are in jail, who
were not allowed to cast
their votes. Thus its ef-
fective strength of
MLAs is 51. Despite
this, its two candidates
got 56 votes in the Leg-
islative Council elec-
tions. First candidate
Eknath Khadse got 29
votes and second candi-
date Ramraje Nim-
balkar got 27 votes. So
the question really is,
from where did Pawar’s
party juggle five extra
votes? After the elec-
tion, Eknath Khadse
said that his old friends
in BJP did cross-voting
for him. Keep in mind
that Khadse was in the
BJP in the past but his
claim is not entirely
true.
BJP leaders have not
done cross voting. Had
BJP leaders done cross-
voting, the number of
votes polled by its five
candidates would not
have reached 133. So, it
seems that by talking to
the smaller parties and
independent MLAs sup-
porting the govern-
ment,theNCPgarnered
five extra votes for it-
self. It is also clear that
Pawar left both the al-
lies on their own terms
or ensured that both of
them suffer. Keep in
mind that both the can-
didates of Shiv Sena
also won but at least
three of its MLAs en-
gaged in cross voting.
Three Congress MLAs
also did cross voting.
On the contrary, all
NCP MLAs voted for
party candidates and on
top of that, Pawar gar-
nered 5 addl votes.

MAN THROWS ACID ON DIVORCED
WIFE FOR REFUSAL TO DO ‘HALALA’
Bareilly (PTI): A
34-year-old man threw
acid on his ex-wife
when she refused to do
Halala’ with his elder
brother, prompting au-
thorities to arrest him,
police said on Wednes-
day. The victim, Nas-
reen, 32, was living with
her parents after her
husband gave her triple
talaq about a month
ago, they said.
Ishaq, the accused,
on Tuesday came to
meet her and started
pressurising her for
‘halala’. When she re-
fused, he threw acid on
her which he was carry-
ing in a bottle inside a
bag, Nasreen told po-
lice. Nasreen in her
complaint said after
giving her triple talaq
the accused had been
pressurising her and
his elder brother for
‘halala’ to bring her
back home, which both
she and the elder broth-
er had been refusing.
Halala is a practice
in which a woman, after
being divorced by triple
talaq, marries another
man, consummates the
marriage, and gets di-
vorced again in order to
be able to remarry her
former husband.
The victim said she
did not file a case
against triple talaq to
keep her family intact
but Ishaq took it as her
weakness and sent her
messages that he want-
ed to accept her as his
wife again but she
must undergo ‘halala’
with his elder brother.
The couple had got
married 11 years ago
and has two daughters,
according to police.
The accused, who
used to work as a la-
bourer, spent his wages
on alcohol, which
pushed his wife into
work, and she started
making kites at home
to make ends meet.
According to Nas-
reen’s complaint, a
fight broke out between
the husband and wife a
month ago when their
younger daughter fell
ill, and Ishaq, under
the influence of alco-
hol, thrashed her, and
gave her triple talaq.

First India Bureau
Prayagraj: The Alla-
habad High Court has
quashed an FIR of a
rape and Section 3/4 of
Dowry Prohibition Act
upon the submission
that the parties have ar-
rived at a compromise.
The counsel for the pe-
titioners as well as
counsel for the respon-
dent no 3 jointly sub-
mitted that the matri-
monial discord between
the parties has been
amicably settled and
that the respondent no
3 does not proceed with
the matter. In this re-
gard, a short counter-af-
fidavit has also been
filed by respondent no 3
and thus the FIR may be
quashed.
The Court noted, “It
is very clear that the
petitioners have prima
facie committed the
said offence. Perusal of
the FIR reveals that the
same was registered on
the basis that cogniza-
ble offence is disclosed
and thus there is no
force in the contention
of the counsel for the
petitioners that no cog-
nizable offence is made
out against the peti-
tioners.
“As the first infor-
mant/respondent no 3
has not been medically
examined by the police
and therefore the provi-
sions of Section 376 IPC
as alleged cannot be
said to be made out.
The offence stems out
of discordance, which
is a reason for lodging
of the impugned FIR,
but it is shown that the
respondent no 3/first
informant decided to
give up the case and
therefore, as the offence
under Section 323, 504,
506 IPC are compound-
able, the same are per-
mitted as compounded.
“In view of above,
the FIR for the offence
committed on October
1 last year i.e before six
months, registered in
Case under Sections
376, 354, 323, 504, 506
IPC and Section 3/4 of
Dowry Prohibition Act,
Police Station Main-
ather, District Morad-
abad, is quashed. Po-
lice officials shall not
take any further steps
in the matter,” the
Court ordered.

Lucknow: Before the
elections of the urban
bodies to be held in UP
by the end of this year,
political parties will
also have to face the
challenge of three-tier
elections of coopera-
tives. The main contest
will be confined around
BJP and SP. Recently,
BJP has completely
curbed the dominance
of SP in cooperatives.
Notably, three-tier
elections are conducted
by the Uttar Pradesh
State Cooperative Elec-
tion Commission. In
the first phase, elec-
tions will be held for
the primary i.e. PACS
committees. In the sec-
ond phase, elections
will be conducted for
the district level com-
mittees and in the third
phase, the management
committees of the top
cooperative institu-
tions will be elected.
There are a total of
46434 primary commit-
tees, 243 central com-
mittees and 50 apex
committees in UP. The
total number of voters
in the elections for
these committees is
more than 1.5 crore. For
the first time in 2017,
the elections of cooper-
atives were conducted
by the commission.
These cooperative
elections are likely to
be held in November
this year, for which the
model code of conduct
may be effective from
October.
Significantly, for
many decades, the SP
had complete domina-
tion in the cooperative
sector of the state. But
in 2019, BJP strategists
focused on this arena.
Under the leadership
of the party’s State
General Secretary (or-
ganization) Sunil Ban-
sal, the then coopera-
tive minister Mukut
Bihari Verma and the
office bearers of the re-
spective fronts of the
party together chalked
out a concrete strategy,
as a result of the cali-
brated move of the par-
ty the dominance of
the saffron camp has
been established in the
cooperative sector at
the present time.
In view of the up-
coming elections, re-
cently, changes were
made in the top posts of
cooperative institu-
tions of UP. According
to a highly placed BJP
source, whether it is
MP elections, assembly
elections, civic polls or
cooperative elections,
the party makes
multi-faceted efforts to
win.
Now party strate-
gists are toiling to meet
the election challenges
of cooperatives and ur-
ban bodies to be held by
the end of this year.
Ballia (PTI): Samajwa-
diPartyallyOmPrakash
Rajbhar targeted SP
president Akhilesh Ya-
dav on Wednesday, say-
ing he had become the
chief minister only by
the grace of his father
and that his party had
not won any election un-
der his leadership since
2014. The Suheldev
Bharatiya Samaj Party
president also took
swipes at Yadav over the
SP’s defeat in the recent
Lok Sabha bypolls in
Azamgarh and Rampur.
On Chief Minister
Yogi Adityanath’s claim
that the BJP was going
to win all the 80 seats in
the next Lok Sabha
polls, Rajbhar said it
could be possible if the
opposition does not re-
main united.
“What kind of a con-
test can you expect from
a party whose leader
does not take part in the
election campaign?”
Rajbhar quipped, tak-
ing an apparent dig at
Akhilesh, who did not
campaign either in
Azamgarh, the seat he
had vacated, or Rampur
vacated by Azam Khan.
When asked about
his recent remarks that
Akhilesh was doing pol-
itics from an air-condi-
tioned room, Rajbhar
told reporters, “He be-
came the CM not on his
own but by the grace of
his father Mulayam
Singh Yadav.” Known
for making hard-hitting
comments, Rajbhar fur-
ther said, “Akhilesh
should tell what work
he has done so far on
the ground. In how
many villages he has
held the meeting so far.
Mulayam Singh and
Shiv Pal Singh Yadav
were aware of the situ-
ation on the ground.”
“The 2012 assembly
elections were held un-
der the leadership of
Mulayam Singh Yadav.
In all the Lok Sabha and
Vidhan Sabha elections
held in the leadership of
Akhilesh Yadav, be it in
2014, 2017, 2019 and 2022,
he has lost,” he added.
The SP faced a defeat
in the Legislative Coun-
cil polls too. “Akhilesh
himself should clarify
that so far he has not
won a single election,”
Rajbhar said, adding
“Mulayam Singh Yadav
istheleaderof themass-
es. Akhilesh Yadav has
got politics from his fa-
ther in legacy
.”
Lucknow (PTI): A
day after a Punjab min-
ister accused the erst-
while Congress gov-
ernment in the state of
providing “VIP treat-
ment” to jailed gang-
ster Mukhtar Ansari,
the Uttar Pradesh BJP
on Wednesday asked
its leaders what the
party got in return for
such favour.
The BJP alleged that
gangster-turned-politi-
cian Ansari engaged in
immoral and illegal
activities from inside
the Punjab jail, and
asked Congress lead-
ers Rahul Gandhi and
Priyanka Gandhi
Vadra why such spe-
cial treatment was ex-
tended to him.
The BJP’s attack
came a day after Pun-
jab minister Harjot
Singh Bains accused
the previous Congress
regime of providing
VIP treatment to Ansa-
ri when he was lodged
at Rupnagar jail in the
state.
“Congress lends a
helping hand to crimi-
nals and mafias. BJP
leader Alka Rai, the
wife of slain Krish-
nanand Rai, had writ-
ten several letters to
Priyanka Gandhi
Vadra asking her not
to patronise a crimi-
nal. The UP govern-
ment had approached
the Supreme Court to
bring Ansari back to
UP but the then Punjab
government opposed it
as it wanted to provide
all facilities to him,”
BJP spokesman
Rakesh Tripathi said.
“I want to ask Rahul
and Priyanka why they
were giving these facil-
ities to Ansari. What
Congress got in return
for providing these fa-
cilities to a gangster.
The current govern-
ment is establishing
that Ansari was in-
volved in immoral and
illegal activities from
inside the jail,” he
said.

OPPOSITION SHOULD UNITE
AGAINST BJP: SBSP CHIEF
An influential OBC leader, Rajbhar’s party won six
seats in the recent state polls as a constituent
of the SP-led opposition coalition. To a question
over the SP’s performance in the recent Lok Sabha
by-elections, the SBSP chief said the Akhilesh
Yadav-led party itself invited trouble.“No one can win
the election by declaring the candidate on the last day
of nomination after the bugle of the election is sound-
ed,” he said. All opposition parties, including May-
awati and Akhilesh Yadav, should be united against
the BJP in Uttar Pradesh to protect the Constitution
and reservation, and in the interest of the backward
classes and Dalits, the SBSP chief stressed.

escribe yourself, and
what would you say
are some vital skills
or characteristics to
have to make it in the
modelling world?
It was my Instagram
bio for quite a long time
and I strongly think that
the one line that de-
scribes me completely
is “Just a girl with
growing wings”. I
feellikeIhavea
lot to learn
and a
lot to achieve. An open-minded
person with a strong will, wad-
ingthroughthisworldof glam-
our to make a mark.
What inspired you to find the
Supermodel in you. Share
some insides of your journey?
Ever since I was a little girl,
I have dreamt of becoming
a model while my parents
wanted me to choose the
field of medicine. Now that
I’m pursuing my medical ca-
reer, I found it the most ap-
propriate time to channel
my passion and waltz
around in this glamorous
world that I have always
been fascinated with. This
journey wouldn’t have been
possible without the support
of my mentor Abhimanyu
Singh Tomar sir from Style
Skool, who instilled in me
the confidence and courage
to enter this completely
new realm safely.
What was the biggest rookie
mistake you made when
just starting out?
This 5g internet world
throws an end number
of opportunities at you
but not conditioning
my brain to actually
scout for the best op-
portunities set me
back by a year or two.
What has been the
most memorable or
rewarding moment
in your career?
The most reward-
ing moment for me
has always been
and always will be
“That one perfect
shot”. Nothing sat-
isfies more than
that one shot that
pleases my young-
er self that was al-
ways eager to get
clicked.

ggs can reduce
the risk of devel-
oping heart dis-
ease, as it helps
increase the
amount of heart-
healthy metabolites in
the blood, reveals a new
study published in eLife.
The findings suggest
that eating up to one egg
per day may help lower
the risk of developing
cardiovascular disease.
Eggs are a rich source
of dietary cholesterol,
but they also contain a
varietyof essentialnutri-
ents. There is conflicting
evidence as to whether
egg consumption is ben-
eficial or harmful to
heart health.
A 2018 study published
in the journal Heart,
which included approxi-
mately half a million
adults in China, found
that those who ate eggs
daily (about one egg per
day) had a substantially
lower risk of heart dis-
ease and stroke than
those who ate eggs less
frequently
.
Now, to better under-
stand this relationship,
the authors of this work
have carried out a popu-
lation-based study ex-
ploring how egg con-
sumption affects mark-
ers of cardiovascular
health in the blood.
Few studies have
looked at the role that
plasma cholesterol me-
tabolism plays in the
association between
egg consumption and
theriskof cardiovascu-
lardiseases,sowewant-
ed to help address this
gap, explains first au-

jing, China.
EGGS CAN BOOST
HEART HEALTH
Pan and the team select-
ed 4,778 participants
from the China Ka-
doorie Biobank, of
whom 3,401 had car-
diovascular disease
and 1,377 did not. They
used a technique called
targeted nuclear magnet-
ic resonance to measure
225metabolitesinplasma
samples taken from the
participants' blood. Of
these metabolites, they
identified24thatwereas-
sociated with self-report-
ed levels of egg consump-
tion.Their analyses
showed that individuals
who ate a moderate
amountof eggshadhigh-
er levels of a protein in
their blood called apoli-
poprotein A1 — a build-
ing block of high-density
lipoprotein (HDL), also
known as 'good lipopro-
tein'. These individuals
especiallyhadmorelarge
HDL molecules in their
blood, which help clear
cholesterol from the
bloodvesselsandthereby
protectagainstblockages
that can lead to heart at-
tacks and stroke.
The researchers fur-
theridentified14metabo-
lites that are linked to
heartdisease.Theyfound
that participants who ate
fewer eggs had lower lev-
els of beneficial metabo-
lites and higher levels of
harmful ones in their
blood, compared to those
who ate eggs more
regularly
.Together, our
results provide a poten-
tial explanation for how
eating a moderate
amount of eggs can
help protect
against heart
disease, says author As-
sociate Prof. Canqing Yu
at Peking University
.
More studies are needed
to verify the causal roles
that lipid metabolites
play in the association
between egg consump-
tion and the risk of car-
diovascular disease.
This study may also
have implications for
Chinese national dietary
guidelines, adds senior
author Liming Li, Boya
Distinguished Professor
at the Peking University
.
Current health guide-
lines in China suggest
eating one egg a day, but
data indicate that the av-
erage consumption is
lowerthanthis.Ourwork
highlights the need for
more strategies to en-
courage moderate egg
consumption among the
population, to help lower
