hose who hold important posi-

viduals who are generally called

Governors in India do not, as
far as I gather, take the oath of
secrecy
. Yet, they are required to
be exceptionally discreet and
careful. That a Governor who
does not have amicable relations
with the Chief Minister invites
avoidable discord. Tact is a vir-
tue that the entire ruling estab-
lishment must practice.
Recently, a former Governor
gave an interview to Karan
Thapar, the outstanding inter-
viewer in the country
. He was
interviewing Shri Satya Pal Ma-
lik, who has had the unique dis-
tinctionof holdingtheGovernor-
ship of four states. His services
to the powerful Jat Community
are only too well known. Karan
Thapar’sjobistobeasaggressive
as possible and that he does with
professional dexterity
.
Karan Thapar, as always had
done his homework. The more
he provoked the former and ex-
perienced ex-Governor, Shri
Satya Pal Malik perhaps did not
see through what Karan Thapar
was getting at. He was provok-
ing Shri Malik on Pulwama. He,
in my judgement should have
been much more cautious in his
responses on Kashmir, which I
believe is still on the agenda of
the UN Security Council. Shri
Malik, whom I know well could
have been more cautious. Kash-
mir is too delicate an issue at the

Since Shri Malik is not an un-
known person, his words and
observations carry some
weight. If I am not mistaken Pa-
kistan welcomed some of the
former governor’s off the cuff
answers. Some of these might
have reached anti India ele-
ments at the UN.
To my utter surprise Shri Ma-
lik had a dig at the Prime Minis-
ter too. The Prime Minister
made him governor, not of one
or two but of four states. The
Modi government has done well
to ignore the ex-governor’s not
so gentle recklessness.
How does a Governor deal
with an uncooperative and over
verbal Chief Minister. With tact,
wisdom, patience and good
cheer. Shri Dhankhar displayed
all these qualities while Gover-

Chief Minister now in-
stead of waiting for it

Confident of BJP win: Amit Shah
Home Minister also says Rahul Gandhi should not play ‘victim’ after disrespecting OBCs
KARNATAKA ASSEMBLY ELECTIONS
Bengaluru (PTI):
Home Minister Amit
Shah expressed confi-
dence on Saturday that
the BJP will win 15-20
seats more than the
halfway mark in Karna-
taka assembly polls and
asserted that its sup-
port base remains in-
tact despite defection by
some party leaders, not-
ing that historically its
rebels have not won and
“this will prove true
this time also”.
With the Congress
targeting the central
government over Rahul
Gandhi’s disqualifica-
tion from Lok Sabha
following his convic-
tion in a defamation
case, Amit Shah during
an interview said that
“no family is above the
law in India and the law
is above all”.
Replying to a ques-
tion on Gandhi playing
“victim”, he said, “We
never asked Rahul Gan-
dhi to disrespect the
OBC community. He
himself decided not to
apologise.
“Thelawunderwhich
he was convicted was
made by the Congress
government. Then
prime minister Manmo-
han Singh tried to with-
draw that law but Rahul
Gandhi himself tore
down the ordinance.
Now he should not play
the victim. No one
should think that any
family is above the law.”
Theordinance,if passed
by Parliament, would
havesparedanyconvict-
ed MP from immediate
disqualification.
On Karnataka assem-
bly polls scheduled for
May 10, he said the BJP
will get 15-20 seats more
than the halfway mark
of 112 seats in the
224-member legislature.
He rejected the Con-
gress’ allegations of cor-
ruption against the BJP
government in Karna-
taka as “baseless”.
They are not substan-
tiated by any court and
have been fabricated by
the Congress to cover up
corruption during its
own regime, Shah
claimed,accusingtheop-
position party of using
Karnataka as its “ATM”
when it was in power.

Bengaluru (ANI): When asked if the Karnataka unit of
Congress is united, Congress president Mallikarjun
Kharge on Saturday told ANI that exodus to other parties
is going on from the BJP which shows that there is dis-
satisfaction inside BJP and not the Congress. Talking to
ANI, the Congress chief said, “Definitely. Have you seen
any dissidents after announcing the tickets, like in BJP?
In BJP, an exodus to other parties is going on. It means
that the greater dissatisfaction is in BJP, not Congress.”
Kharge said that the people of Karnataka are fed up
because the BJP government in the state encouraged
corruption in the past 5 years of their rule. “People are
fed up because in these 5 years whatever the BJP Govt
did, more or less they encouraged corruption”, he said.
New Delhi (Agencies):
Praising the Punjab

that there is no Khalistan
wave in Punjab, adding
that the Centre is keeping

situation. “There is no
wave (of Khalistan). Many
times, some people try,
but the governments have
done their job. The Pun-
jab government has done
a good job, the Centre
has supported. Shah also
said that the hunt is on
and soon Amritpal Singh
will be behind bars.
New Delhi (Agencies):
Union Home Minister
Amit Shah on Saturday
said the BJP government
in Karnataka had put an
end to the Congress-initi-
ated four per cent Muslim
reservation in the state.
Shah said providing
reservations on the basis
of religion was against
the Constitution. “The
Congress had illegally
kept 4% reservation for
Muslims in the state,” he
said. “The Constitution
of India does not allow
reservations on the basis
of religion,” Shah added.
Washington (PTI): The US
is on track to issue more
than a million visas to Indi-
ans this year, a top official
has said, assuring that the
Biden administration is
committed this summer to
make sure it processes all
of the student visas for Indi-
ans whose school starts this
fall. US Assistant Secretary
of State for South and Cen-
tral Asia Donald Lu also said
that they are also prioritis-
ing work visas - H-1B’s and
L visas, the most sought-af-
ter by IT professionals
from India. The H-1B visa
is a non-immigrant visa
that allows US companies
to employ foreign workers
in speciality occupations
that require theoretical or
technical expertise.

turned 470 on Saturday
.
Akshay Tritiya, which
is considered to be one
of the most sacred
days, Maharana Udai
Singh laid the founda-
tion stone of Udaipur
on 15 April 1553. Also
popular as the City of
Lakes, Udaipur is the
world’s fourth most ro-
mantic and fifth most
beautiful city
.
Udaipur has had
many good and bad
experiences. The nat-
ural beauty of the
lake and the pictur-
esque plains of Ara-
valli thrills everyone.
The city also fought
with the Mughals and
the British during its
inception. During the
pandemic, the resi-
dents of this city
fought together.
Udaipur is a popular
destination for cou-
ples looking for a royal
and grand wedding.
The city has a number
of historic palaces
and forts that offer
stunning backdrops
for a wedding ceremo-
ny. When in Udaipur,
it’s all about the lake.
A wedding in
Udaipur can cost
you as much or more
than one in Europe or

Jaipur: The Gehlot
government has decid-
ed to provide Rs 444.40
crore to 1 lakh farmers
for putting up barbed
wire fences to protect
crops from stray ani-

tal of 40 million meters

FIRST INDIA SUNDAY SPECIAL
BY TRIDIB RAMAN
The author is a journalist and political
commentator and views expressed are his personal
The popularity of Yogi
Adityanath, who
took the initiative to
end the mafia rule from
Uttar Pradesh, is on the
seventh heaven these
days, especially since
the dreaded criminal of
the state Atiq Ahmed
has been eliminated.
If sources are to be
believed, in recent days,
Yogi has received an
important message from
the BJP top leadership
that ‘he is going to play
an important role in the
2024 general elections.’
He will also have a big
responsibility to bear the
expenses of the party.
In fact, in the ‘Global
Investor Summit’ organ-
ized by Yogi in Lucknow
recently, an investment
of Rs 32.92 lakh crore
has been promised and a
record number of 18,643
MoUs were signed.
Earlier, in the ‘Global In-
vestor Summit’, Gujarat
used to be at the number
one position. When
Narendra Modi was the
CM of Gujarat, there was
an investment of about
15 lakh crore rupees,
which was a record. Now
Yogi has planned to set
up a new industrial city
on the lines of Noida at
Shandila near Hardoi,
which is only two and
a half hours away from
Lucknow airport.
Sharad Pawar is an expert player of poli-
tics, but if ever he starts scoring goals
in his own post, then understand that he
has changed his allegiance. His eagerness
to change faces has been clearly visible
from his politics till now. So, when he
has a closed-door meeting with Gautam
Adani for about two hours, he assumes
the posture of rejecting the JPC’s demand
on the Adani episode. If sources are to
be believed, he has had long conversa-
tions with the BJP top brass too. There
are murmurs in the political circles
that Pawar has a secret agree-
ment with the BJP that Sharad
Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule
can become a minister at the
center and his Nephew Ajit Pawar
may be the new Chief Minister
of Maharashtra in place of
Shinde. But Ajit Pawar
started appearing in a different color. He
removed the symbol of NCP from his Twit-
ter handle and speculations started that
now the time has come for him to bloom.
In fact, 16 MLAs of Eknath Shinde faction
are still facing the threat of disqualifica-
tion. This case is still pending in the court,
so if these 16 MLAs of Shinde faction are
disqualified by the court, then the Shinde
government will come in minority, so
BJP has placed a bet on Ajit Pawar under
its backup plan. But it is famous about
Sharad Pawar that he has expertise
in playing two and a half moves on
political chess. So he has tied his
strings with the Congress as well.
He wanted to come to Delhi and
meet Rahul at 10 Janpath but Rahul
asked him, “Why not have
this meeting at Kharge’s
residence.”
In the famous Umesh Pal murder case, in a CCTV foot-
age, notorious Atiq’s follower Guddu Muslim is seen
throwing a bomb. While most of the accused have been
killed by the UP STF, but the whereabouts of Guddu
Muslim are still not known. But there is also a myth
associated with Guddu that ‘whoever he is with, gets
killed’. It is said that he has an old habit that he either
kills the said person himself or gets him killed by being
an informer. When he was with Satyendra Singh Langad,
he got him killed him with the help of Santosh Singh.
Then Santosh Singh was killed by Bahubali Dhananjay
Singh on Guddu’s information. It is said that then this
person started making bombs for Mukhtar Ansari,
but when Mukhtar went to jail, he joined Atiq Ahmed.
Sources also claim that UP Police and STF killed Atiq’s
son Asad and his accomplice Ghulam in an encounter in
Jhansi on the basis of information received from Guddu
Muslim. Atiq’s brother Ashraf wanted to tell the media
persons before his death - ‘Main baat hai ki Guddu
Muslim...’, however, he was killed before he could finish
his sentence. It is being said about Guddu Muslim, who
has a prize of 5 lakhs, that these days he has become
the biggest informer of UP STF.
The alliance between
the Congress and the
Left parties got a new
face in the Tripura
elections, gas the
results of the alliance
were also encouraging.
So, the same pattern
was repeated in Manipur
also. Now intense
brainstorming is going
on in the Congress
as to why not in the
2024 general elections,
following the same
pattern i.e. by forging
an alliance with the Left
parties, the Congress
should together present
a challenge to Mamata
and the BJP in West
Bengal.
The coming days may be difficult for Nitish Kumar,
who is working tirelessly day and night in the
initiative of opposition unity. Ever since he broke the
alliance with BJP and formed government with Lalu’s
party, the Center is constantly eye-
ing Nitish. ED and CBI are continu-
ously questioning RJD President
and State Deputy CM Tejashwi Ya-
dav and the sword of arrest is also
hanging on them. So, CBI is con-
tinuously increasing its resources
for the complete siege of Nitish and
Tejashwi. If reliable sources are to
be believed, in recent days, CBI has
taken more than 100 houses on lease in Patna, that
means more and more CBI people are in Patna, and
this aspect is also like an alarm bell for Nitish!
Recently, Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh met
Prime Minister Modi and shared his mind. Earlier,
there were indications that Rajnath would not contest
the 2024 elections as he would be 73 by next year, but
it is said that Rajnath has expressed
his wish to the PM that ‘he wants
to contest the Lok Sabha election of
2024 from Lucknow seat only, i.e.
the same seat and this will be his last
election. In fact, Rajnath’s younger
son Neeraj Singh, who oversees the
entire work of the Lucknow parlia-
mentary constituency, is keen to enter
active politics. Neeraj is associated
with BJP since 2000. Rajnath’s elder son Pankaj Singh,
who is BJP’s MLA from Noida as well as the party’s
state vice-president, has actually set his sights on the
Lucknow parliamentary seat. So the biggest challenge
before Rajnath is how he can manage both his son and
provide a a new sky to their political ambitions.
In what couldbe termed as a major develop-
ment in the Sanjivani Credit Society episode, the
Madhya Pradesh government has recommended a
CBI inquiry into the matter. There are some victims
from MP who had lodged an FIR
against the society, whereas in
Rajasthan, union minister Gajendra
Singh Shekhawat was also seeking
the same and filed a petition in
Jodhpur High Court regarding the
same. Now the road has become
easier with the decision of Madhya
Pradesh government and sooner or
later the investigation will go out of
the hands of Rajasthan SOG and go to CBI, and this
could have far-reaching political consequences.

First India Bureau
Jaipur: The internal
survey conducted by
Congress has got the
party high command
on an alert mode.
Sources have revealed
that according to the
survey, tickets of MLAs
can be cut in large
numbers.
It is being murmured
in the relevant political
circles of the grand-old
prty that Congress can
cut tickets of more than
90 MLAs as there is im-
mense anti-incumben-
cy atmosphere in all
these constituencies.
In fact, State in-
charge Sukhjinder Sin-
gh Randhawa has re-
portedly bluntly told
these MLAs in one to
one dialogue that 'Ac-
cording to the survey
your condition is bad,
you will not be able to
win'. However, it is also
being said that Con-
gress party is strong in
rest of the seats.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: In view of the
assembly elections,
Congress has made im-
portant appointments
in Rajasthan. Now,
AICC Secretary Amri-
ta Dhawan has been
given the responsibili-
ty of Rajasthan along
with Kazi Nizamuddin.
Similarly, Virender
Singh Rathore has also
been given responsibil-
ity of Rajasthan as sec-
retary.
All these secretaries
will work together
with general secretary
in charge Sukhjinder
Singh Randhawa.
Meanwhile, Secretary
Tarun Kumar has been
relieved of his respon-
sibility. But the ques-
tion remains as to
what is the meaning of
appointment of Qazi
Nizamuddin, since
Kazi is considered
close to Sachin Pilot.

said Congress presi-
dent Mallikarjun
Kharge appointed the
new AICC secretaries
with immediate effect.

YOUR
DAY
Horoscope by

veryday jewel-
lery is at a boom
right now, as it
not only acts as
a statement
piece with a
classy outfit but
is also not very heavy on
the pocket. Shrishti
Bhardwaj, founder and
designer of an emerging
everyday jewellery brand
in Jaipur, A Look to
Stand Out (ALSO),
turned her passion into a
successful business, with
a desire to manufacture
statement pieces for the
audience across the
globe.
On being asked about
what motivated her to
start a brand that cur-
rently caters to the Bol-
lywood industry, Shrish-
ti said, “Everyday jewel-
lery is something I have
absolutely loved to wear,
but could hardly find
something that does not
wear off in a couple of
days. Being a jewellery
designer myself, I
thought of turning my
passion into a business
and curating some-
thing that would solve
the most common
problem amongst
people.”
“I love travelling
and finding inspi-
ration to design
something new
every day. ALSO is a
home-grown brand, of-
fering the best designs
with classic concepts and
mythological meanings,
so people connect to it in
the most beautiful way
possible. We also focus on
customising jewellery ac-
cording to the customer’s
needs.”
A few of ALSO’s cli-
ents are big-shots in the
Bollywood industry, like
Masaba Gupta, Anil Ka-
poor Film Production,
and many
more. The
brand’s
jewellery has also been
endorsed by some well-
known celebrities like
Ranveer Singh, Alia
Bhatt, Anita Hassanan-
dani, Prajakta Koli,
Roshni Chopra, and
more.
“I am really enjoying
making different tech-
niques in jewellery like
painting, stone carving,
wood, pottery and other
Indian techniques to sup-
port the local artisans,”
mentioned Shrishti.
When asked about
what she feels about the
success of the brand in
such a short span of
time, she added, “It takes
time to be successful in
whatever you are doing.
Everything is about con-
sistency, and I feel I learn
new things every day
. It’s
very important to build
great relations with
your customers, in or-
der to stay long in such
a competitive indus-
try
.”
Sharing some tips
for the upcoming
brands, she said, “Fo-
cus on building a strong
brand identity and use
social media platforms
to build your brand,
connect with customers,
and promote your prod-
ucts in the best way
possible.”

riti Sanon is one of the most loved ac-
tresses in Bollywood. Recently a video of
the Raabta actress from the aircraft has
been going viral. This video grabbed all
the limelight as she was travelling in
economy class. Yet another video from
the same flight is making our hearts melt
when we can see her playing with a cute baby. She
wore a white coloured dress and looked pretty as
she made her way out of the flight. Passengers
captured her while she covered her face with a
mask and walked out. In the next video, she is
seated in her seat while a baby who is seated right
in front of her
seems to be quite
intrigued with
the actress. Even
the Raabta star
seems to be en-
joying herself
as she is play-
ing with the
baby.

ashmika Mandanna is one of
the most active celebrities on
social media, who shares her
daily schedule on her social
platforms. Her latest Instagram
story shows her with her co-star for
the upcoming film “Rainbow”,
where they share a moment in be-
tween shot breaks, where she sig-
nals her BTS love. The actress and
her co-star Dev Mohan can be seen
holding their hands in the infa-
mous “BTS finger
hearts gesture” which has been a
mainstay for the fans and followers
of the band. The image has been
going viral and fans have been ex-
cited about their favourite actress-
es’ love for the most popular band
in world music these days. In the
Instagram story, Rashmika
writes, “Rainbow Days. Again
saying .. nice pictures you take
yaa. @Devmohan.”, which is a
reference to Dev Mohan who cap-
tured the moment on his screen.

hehnaaz Gill is one of the most loved and adorable personalities in the show-
biz world. She worked on herself and gave her dreams wings and recently,
Shehnaaz made her big Bollywood debut with Salman Khan and Pooja Hegde
starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. In a recent interview, Shehnaaz Gill reacted
after the interviewer translated every fan question for her from English to Hindi.
Initially, she answered a few questions and then interrupted the interviewer to re-
spond that she understands English. The incident happened in a recent interview
with Connect FM Canada. Shehnaaz was quoted saying, “English mujhe thodi thodi
samjah aane lagi hai ab. Itni bhi failure nahi hun main (I understand English a little
bit. I’m not such a failure.)” Shehnaaz took this quiet lightly as she shared a laugh
while saying this and the interviewer also gave back a smile.

ick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas are one
of the hottest couples. Priyanka is currently on
a promotional spree and is leaving no stones
unturned to promote her upcoming web show
Citadel. After promoting her show in India and then
in London, she is now in Rome with her entire team
and her husband. Last night at the Rome premiere, the
Quantico actress looked stunning in her green outfit
but the one thing
which grabbed all
the attention was
hubby Nick’s ges-
tures which
prove he is the
perfect husband
material. Well, a
video wherein
PeeCee is posing for the media on the red carpet
is grabbing all the eyeballs not because the ac-
tress looks beautiful. But, because her hus-
band Nick Jonas is silently standing in one
corner and making sure to click some
amazing pictures of his star wife with-
out even letting her know and this is
making netizens go gaga over him.

said that her career as a
'star heroine is over' and
uses 'cheap tricks to pro-
mote her films'. Now,
the actress indirectly
reacted to the com-
ments by the produc-
er and posted a

#IYKYK. Well,
fans were quick
enough to catch
that it was an in-
direct way to give
it back to Producer
Chitti Babu. For
