hief Minister
Ashok Gehlot
on Friday
slammed the centre over
Enforcement Directo-
rate’s raids in State and
said that the central gov-
ernment is misusing the
agencies and that ED’s
raids were “anticipated”
in the poll-bound state.
Gehlot said while ad-
dressing the public at a
program under Mehangai
Rahat Camp held at
Khandela in Sikar district.
“The constitution is being
torn to shreds in the coun-
try. The ED along with
other central agencies is
working under pressure.
My experience says that
wherever an election is
scheduled, the agencies
are sent to the place along
with lists. I appeal to the
agencies not to work un-
der pressure,” he said.
“Who is going to win
an election is decided by
public. Schemes we have
started, for this to con-
tinue, we need your
blessings”, said CM. P8

Jumping up walls does
not work, living among the

remark of Govind Singh
Dotasra’s has initiated a
talk in political spheres in

are being made as to
whose side was Govind

REALITY
CHECK
Barely a fortnight back
Indian fans were celebrating
the grand success of our
beloved IPL and the sound
health of Indian cricket with
superb performances by
Indian stars. But now, it’s a
reality check once again as
India wilts against Australia
in the WTC Final
Rohit Sharma and the
brains trust of the team
made it far tougher for
themselves by dropping
Ashwin, the off-spinner who
is the No.1 bowler in
the ICC Test rankings
arely a fortnight
back Indian fans
were celebrating
the grand suc-
cess of our be-
loved IPL and the sound health
of Indian cricket with superb
performances by Indian stars.
But now, it’s a reality check
once again as India wilts against
Australia in the World Test
Championship (WTC) Final.At
the time of writing this, India
managed just 296 in their first
innings, conceding a 173-run
lead, and well on the way to a
possible defeat - if that happens,
it will be their second consecu-
tive loss in a WTC final. Team
India had lost to New Zealand
in the 2021 final and barring a
miracle in the second innings of
the ongoing game, it will now
be a full decade since India won
an ICC title!
Playing the WTC final right
after the IPL was always going
to be a huge challenge for Team
India. But Rohit Sharma and the
brains trust of the team made it
far tougher for themselves by
dropping Ashwin, the off-spin-
ner who is the No.1 bowler in
the ICC Test rankings. His
omission has been slammed by
most experts from Gavaskar
and Ganguly to Ponting and
Hayden. They point out that In-
dia just picked a team for the
first innings of the match. The
pitch at Oval, England is a little
up and down and has turned
even on day two for Aussie
offie, Nathan Lyon. As such,
India should have played to
their strength by picking both
Ravindra Jadeja and Ravi Ash-
win in the playing 11.
Throughout the test champi-
onship, Ashwin has been phe-
nomenal and picked up 61
wickets, making him the third-
highest wicket-taker in the
WTC 2021-23 cycle - just be-
hind Lyon (83) and Kagiso
Rabada from SouthAfrica (67).
Also, Ashwin has a terrific re-
cord against left-handers - of his
474 Test wickets, over 230 are
left-handers. With five lefties in
Australia’s line-up, Ashwin
ought to have been a sure-shot
starter.
An interesting fact that many
pointed out on social media is
that while India has gone in with
4 seamers and Jadeja - the bowl-
ing attack put together has less
wicketsthanwhatAshwinalone
has got! What bewilders the
fans more is that Ashwin had
tormented Australia earlier in
the year during the Border-
Gavaskar trophy as he picked
up 25 wickets and shared the
Player ofThe Series award with
Ravindra Jadeja.
Indian legend and ex- Cap-
tain, Sunil Gavaskar has pointed
out that 2 of the 4 seamers –
Umesh Yadav and Shardul
Thakur were undercooked com-
ing into the contest due to their
limited bowling time in the re-
cently-concluded IPL. As such,
one of them should have been
kept out to bring in Ashwin.
Moreover,Ashwin’s handy bat-
ting is also being badly missed.
With Team India suffering a
major collapse of the top order,
Ashwin’s plucky and spirited
batting would have been most
useful.
India’s lower middle order
has been to the rescue many
times in this Championship cy-
cle. Even in this test, after a flop
show by the top 4 batsmen, Ra-
hane stood tall with a fabulous
89 and was ably supported by
Jadeja who made 48 and Shar-
dul Thakur who scored a gritty
51.Ashwin’s presence as a bats-
man would have cushioned In-
dia’s batting order as well. In
fact, Rahane’s century partner-
ship with Thakur was instru-
mental in saving India from a
follow-on, giving them a sliver
of a chance to save the match.
The poor first innings show
byIndiaalsoraisedquestionson
their preparations owing to the
IPL finishing less than 10 days
before the WTC final. Former
Aussie cricketer, Brad Hogg
talked about how the Australi-
ans were much better prepared
for the final. In contrast, many
Indian players, especially bowl-
ers, looked listless on the first
day as Steve Smith and Travis
Head made a feast scoring runs
and eventually hitting hundreds
each. Hogg also questioned the
scheduling of the final straight
after the IPL, stating that it
would have been better to play
the match immediately follow-
ing the India vs. Australia Test
series in March.
The Indian team manage-
ment could have ensured a little
more preparation time for their
marquee players as it was im-
portant to enter the final on an
equal footing with Australia.
Given the glorious uncertainties
of cricket, the WTC final may
still turn on its head and provide
Indian fans a relief. But as the
wise say, miracles happen to
those who prepare the best and
sadly Indian players present a
contrasting picture from the
fresh and hungry Australian
cricket team!

BJP’S TIRADE AGAINST CONG
“Cong looks at history with prism of Nehru-Gandhi family”
PTI
New Delhi
nion Minister
Rajeev Chan-
drashekar on
Friday hit out at the Con-
gress government in Kar-
nataka over reports about
it removing a lesson on
RSS founder Keshav Ba-
liram Hedgewar from
school textbooks, saying
the party’s views on his-
tory are limited to the
Nehru-Gandhi family.
The senior BJP leader
termed the reported move
as Congress antics to
grab attention, and al-
leged that it has a long
history of rewriting the
country’s history to re-
move those who are not
part of a “dynasty”.
On Thursday, Karna-
taka Primary and Sec-
ondary Education Minis-
ter Madhu Bangarappa
had said revision of
school textbooks will be
done this year itself in the
interest of students.
Bangarappa, while
talking to reporters in
Bengaluru, had also indi-
cated that the proposal on
the textbook revision will
be placed before the Cab-
inet probably when it
meets next.
At a press conference
here, Chandrashekar also
described the reported
move of the Karnataka
government to remove a
lesson on Hedgewar as
“crime against the youth
of India” and said people
will respond to the Con-
gress for depriving stu-
dents from the truth
about India.

and has lowest coupon
rate 7.15%( rate in which
corporations taken money
from market). This was
mainly due to Baroda’s
credit rating of AA plus.
Due to this, Baroda able
to complete the water
supply project, which was
inaugurated by PM Modi.
In this project, US Treas-
ury Dept was technical
advisor and it suggested
for documentation and
then I went for it. Then
my book was launched in
US Embassy in Delhi in
November 2022. US
Treasury Department de-
clared it as a ‘toolkit.’
zHow NITI Aayog rec-
ognized this work ?
I sent this book to NITI
Aayogandafteritslaunch-
ing, I was invited in vari-
ous national conferences
as speaker. PM also given
appreciationtothisproject
and then NITIAayog had
written a letter to State
governmentandUT’Sthat
municipal bonds is good
way to strengthen the mu-
nicipal bodies.
zHow could Municipal
Corporation improve its
working style to implement
the municipal bonds ?
When we are closing
the bond, we have to fol-
lowthestrictguidelinesof
SEBI. When we issue the
bond, we borrowing the
money from market. So,
Municipal Corporation
should ensure that credit
worthiness of the bond
should be highly reason-
able. Because Baroda
model is successful be-
causeofitsAAplus rating
whichisoneofthehighest
ratings.Whencorporation
issues bond, it automati-
cally improves the gov-
ernance, administrative
process and transparency
of corporations.
zDo you think the idea
will impacted the grow-
ing economy like India ?
Accordingtoincreasing
urbanisation, municipal
corporations has to main-
tain sufficient funds. So
corporationsmaytakeone
option of municipal bond
other than Central,State
govt and taxes user
charge. Bond also Impor-
tant for small cities also
because it involves credit
rating administrative
and governance process.
After issuing bond, Baro-
da’sallcitizen-centricser-
vice is online and it im-
proves E- governance.
zHow it could impacted
the World economy, es-
pecially after COVID ?
Population increasing
and in this situation mu-
nicipal bond is innova-
tive way of financing. It
also ensures the reforms
of financial process and
in today’s world reform
and innovation is must.

ExternalAffairs Minister
S Jaishankar hit out at
Congress leader Rahul
Gandhi's recent criticism
of the Narendra Modi-led
government during his
US visit, saying that in-
viting the world to inter-
vene in India's issues
would mean bringing in
larger problems for the
country.
Every country has is-
sues and diversity... peo-
ple can have views, they
can have opinions, but if
you say that in India,
there are big problems
and the world should do
something about it, then
you are inviting bigger
problems, Jaishankar
said while addressing a
gathering of students at
Delhi University's Arya-
bhatta College.
The Union Minister
has been critical of Ra-
hul’s comments and has
said that it is his “habit”
to criticise the country in
foreign land. The entire
narrative has been
formed within the coun-
try, and when that narra-
tive did not work or
worked less, then they
take it outside. I don't
think that taking the poli-
tics of the country abroad
is in the interest of the
country. And I also don't
think that he will gain
credibility because of it,”
he had said on Thursday.
This comes days after
Rahul Gandhi, who was
recently on a six-day,
three-city tour of the US,
criticised the RSS and the
BJP for controlling all
the instruments of poli-
tics in India. Taking a dig
at Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi, Rahul said, “I
think if you sat Modi ji
down next to god, Modi
ji would start explaining
to god how the universe
works. And god would
get confused that what
have I created.”
He praised PM Naren-
dra Modi, claiming that
he has changed the per-
ception about India, PM
Modi has changed the
system in India in a way
that the country has be-
come ready to respond to
global problems, Jais-
hankar said, adding,
“When more people will
come to India, foreign
investment will rise.”

startling admission by
father substantially
weakens case against
Brij Bhushan who

less protests for past

Indian wrestlers over
allegations of sexual
harassment of women
competitors. The
complaint by minor
wrestler has also led
to investigation under
POCSO Act.

on several occasions since 2013. Jagbir, who has been
a coach-cum-international referee since 2007, said he
witnessed Brij Bhushan’s misbehaviour with his own eyes
on numerous occasions. “In 2022, I witnessed something.
Whenever the president used to travel inside the country
for national tournaments, two to three girls were always
with him but we could never protest. We have seen that
with our eyes.” Jagbir, in fact, has corroborated the protest-
ing wrestler’s allegations in his testimony to Delhi Police.

The Education Summit
was organised by First
India and Bharat24 at
Hotel Crowne Plaza in
Jaipur on Friday. Educa-
tion Min BD Kalla said,
“Your decision should
be such that it will ben-
efit everyone. The new
education policy is
good, but till now the
states have not benefit-
ed. Now there is a need
for quality education.”

mark in every field.
“The kind of churning
that is going on in this
and different things
have been said by eve-
ryone on different sub-
jects. We want children
from abroad to come
here for studies. Today
medical colleges have
been opened in every
district,” he said.
Speaking at the Educa-
tion Summit, First India

Chandra said that in to-
day’s era, various organi-
zations organize such
events, but most of the
events remain mere for-
malities. “People’s in-
volvement is only where
there is some good thing.
Today’s education sum-

Many children’s issues
were discussed in this
summit.”
Speaking in the pro-

Khan, giving the date of
the model school opened
in the present govern-

is the only state in which
English schools have
been opened at this level.

tem, as well as various
educationists kept their
views on how to carry
their culture and values

IN CONTROVERSY
Internal squabble puts brakes on
govt’s flagship food packet scheme!
Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur
ehlot govern-
ment’s flagship
scheme - An-
napurna Food Packet -
has got embroiled in a
controversy and that is
why an immense delay is
being caused in its en-
forcement. Two months
have already passed and
owing to the difficulties
that have arisen, it is ex-
pected that two more
months will pass before
the scheme is imple-
mented.
Under this scheme,
free food packets will be
distributed to 1.06 crore
families covered under
the National Food Secu-
rity Act. Supplying food
packets to beneficiaries at
cost of Rs 370 per packet
could result in a monthly
expenditure of about Rs
392 crore i.e. Rs 4,700
crore per annum.
In the beginning, the
CM had made Food and
Civil Supply department,
under minister Pratap
Singh Khachariyawas,
the nodal department for
this scheme. But later, the
finance department made
changes and handed the
responsibility to Cooper-
ative department. Report-
edly, minister Khachari-
yawas is not too happy
with this change and he
has asserted a ‘constitu-
tional objection’ to it. He
claims that when in the
state budget in the assem-
bly, this scheme has been
passed under the Food
department, then how can
the Finance department,
without the approval of
the assembly, bring about
such changes at its own
level? This controversy
has not been solved yet.
On the other hand, the
Cooperative Department
has handed the purchase
responsibility of food
packets to its own institu-
tion - CONFED. Regis-
trar, Cooperatives -
Meghraj Singh Ratnu - is
itsChairman. Meanwhile,
another controversy is go-
ing on between CONFED
and Finance Department.
The tender document for
food packets that CON-
FED prepared, having
spent days in its prepara-
tion, was returned by the
Finance Department with
a two page long objection
note.Nowanentirelynew
tender document has been
prepared and this has
caused the delay of two
months.
Third controversy is
between Cooperative
Minister Udaya Lal An-
jana and Principal Secre-
tary Cooperatives Sreya
Guha. According to the
process, what ever action
CONFED takes and de-
cides, it will be okayed
by Sreya Guha, as the
Principal Secretary of
Cooperative department
(parent department).
The problem is that
CONFED Chairman and
Registrar Cooperatives is
the same person -
Meghraj Ratnu. This
means that as Chairman,
the file that Meghraj Rat-
nu prepares, that will be
examined at the level of
government by Ratnu
himself in his capacity at
Registrar and it will be
him who approves of it.
This is not right accord-
ing to the administrative
point of view since there
is conflict of interest.
Word is that CONFED is
working under the guid-
ance of the minister in
the matter related to food
packets. The FA and GM
there are also being guid-
ed by the ‘higher ups’.
Perhaps Sreya Guha
felt that this 4700 crore
rupees worth scheme’s
transparency and unbias-
ness could be brought
under suspicion due to
conflict of interest and
therefore, through a
signed order, Sreya Guha
directed FA Vachaspati
Tripathi of RAJFED,
whose Guha is Chair-
man, to assist the Regis-
trar and examine the
files.
Minister Udaylal An-
jana has not sought an-
swer from Sreya Guha
asking her how did she
issue the order without
the minister’s approval?
How can the FA of RA-
JFED interfere in the de-
partment’s work? Word
is that the minister is re-
portedly unsatisfied with
Sreya Guha’s explana-
tion and he has taken the
matter to CM.
But amid all these con-
troversies, the food pack-
et scheme is facing the
brunt and now the model
code of conduct is also
round the corner.
The Tender document
for food packets that
CONFED prepared,
was returned by the
Finance Department
with a two page long
objection note
