ost of the exit
polls also pre-
dicted RJD to
again emerge as the sin-
gle largest party in the
243-member assembly
along with a clear dip in
the seat tally of Bihar
chief minister
Nitish Kumar-
led JD(U).
Counting of
votes for the
three-phase
Bihar assem-
bly polls,
which ended
on Saturday,
will be held on Novem-
ber 10. Exit polls are
typically based on feed-
back from a limited
number of voters in se-
lect areas and none of
them have a 100 per cent
accuracy record.
Today’s Chanakya-
CNN News18 projected
180 seats for the RJD-led
grand alliance, 55 for
the NDA and eight for
others. The majority
mark is 122.
India Today-Axis My
India poll showed the
RJD-led block winning
139-161 seats, as against
69-91 for the NDA. It pre-
dicted 3-5 seats
for LJP and
also 3-5 for
others.
The ABP-
CVoter exit
poll predicted
NDA to get
104-128 seats
and 108-131
seats for the opposition
grand alliance. It pro-
jected Chirag Paswan-
led LJP to get 1-3 seats.
A similar trend was
predictedbyTimesNow-
CVoter, which projected
116 seats for the NDA,
120 for the opposition al-
liance and a single seat
for the LJP. It predicted
six seats for others.
Exit polls also pre-
dicted results for by-
polls held in several
states. According to In-
dia Today-Axis My In-
dia exit poll, the BJP
government in Madhya
Pradesh will survive as
it projected the party to
win 16-18 seats, and Con-
gress is estimated to bag
10-12 of the total 28 seats
that went to polls. Simi-
larly, for bypolls in Uttar
Pradesh, the exit poll
predicted BJP to win 5-6
seats, SP 1-2 seats and
BSP 0-1 seat, out of the
eight seats for which
polling was held on No-
vember 3 last.
In Gujarat where vot-
ing happened for eight

charging’ himself
from medical care at

Health Secretary Sid-
dharth Mahajan, elabo-
rates the opinion of the
medical board while
also informing of the
elaborate steps taken
by the state govern-
ment for the treatment
of CJ. Furthermore,
the letter also stated
that if the CJ wishes to
get admitted to some
other institution for
treatment, then an air
ambulance can also be
arranged.
Meanwhile, on Sat-
urday, a medical board
comprised of senior
experts took stock of
CJ’s health and advised
him to get admitted in
to Eternal hospital for
proper treatment.
Based on the advice, CJ

Chief whip Mahesh Joshi tried to talk to the protesters but they did not listen to him and shouted slogans
First India Bureau
Jaipur: The members
of the Muslim commu-
nity continued their
protest on Saturday
over the issue of none
of the community mem-
bers been named as
mayor candidates in
six municipal corpora-
tions by the Congress
party. The community
members under the
banner of Muslim Pro-
gressive Manch have
been demanding that
Mayor in Jaipur Herit-
age municipal corpora-
tion should be from the
community as the com-
munity members voted
the Congress.
The party won 47 out
of 100 wards in JMC
Heritage and is claim-
ing the support of eight
independents and has
named Munesh Gurjar
as the mayor candidate.
The party leader have,
however, said that the
deputy mayor would be
from the Muslim com-
munity.
Not satisfied with the
offer, the community
people protested out-
side the hotel Jai Bagh
Palace in Amer where
the Congress council-
lors have been herded
till November 10, the
day of the mayoral elec-
tion. On Friday, the
Manch members had
protested outside the
Pradesh Congress com-
mittee head office.
Chief whip Mahesh
Joshi tried to talk to the
protesters but they did
not listen to him and
shouted slogans. Joshi
left the spot in an angry
mood. The protesters
also shouted slogans
against local MLAs
Amin Kagzi and Rafiq
Khan and warned to
boycott them in the next
assembly elections.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: With the Mus-
lim community mem-
bers protesting over the
mayor post in Jaipur,
the opposition BJP is
trying to take political
advantage and making
efforts to snatch the
Jaipur Heritage munic-
ipal corporation from
the clutches of the rul-
ing Congress.
The protesters under
the banner of Muslim
Progressive Manch
have been demanding
that Mayor in Jaipur
Heritage municipal cor-
poration should be from
the community. Deputy
leader of opposition Ra-
jendra Rathore had on
Friday said that the
Congress was cheating
the community by not
naming a Muslim coun-
cillor for the mayor post
even as the community
voted for the party.
Now, the BJP is capital-
ising on this resent-
ment of Muslims. The
party is also mulling
over the idea of nomi-
nating a Muslim candi-
date for the post of dep-
uty mayor from JMC
Heritage for which dis-
cussion among party
leaders are going on.
In view of the changed
equations after the bi-
furcation of the munic-
ipal corporations, the
BJP had nominated one
and a half dozen Mus-
lim faces in both the
municipal corporations
of Jaipur. However,
only one Muslim candi-
date from Adarsh Na-
gar constituency won
the election.
In JMC Heritage,
Congress won 47 out of
100 wards while BJP got
42. The Congress is
claiming the support of
eight independents who
have joined the party.
BJP nominated Kusum
Yadav, who contested as
a rebel candidate, as
mayor candidate from
and Congress has field-
ed Munesh Gurjar from
JMC Heritage.
Bharat Dixit
Jaipur: The Congress
leaders on Saturday
again targeted the can-
didature of Somya
Gurjar, BJP’s mayor
candidate from Jaipur
Greater municipal cor-
poration.
In a press conference
on Saturday, Congress
leaders said that there
are criminal cases
against Somya’s hus-
band Rajaram Gurjar,
former chairman of Ka-
rauli municipal coun-
cil. Congress state me-
dia in-charge Archana
Sharma said that the
BJP wanted to hand
over governance of
Jaipur in the hands of
people who have crimi-
nal cases. Sharma also
released documents
about the cases against
Rajaram.
“Even BJP MLAs are
not happy with the can-
didature of the BJP
candidate. What kind of
progress Jaipur will
witness under such peo-
ple,” she said.
There is resentment
in some BJP cadres
over Somya’s candida-
ture but the senior par-
ty leaders have defend-
ed the party’s decision.
The Congress is mak-
ing efforts to disturb
the BJP’s apple cart in
the JMC Greater with
support of disgruntled
BJP leaders. BJP won
88 of 150 wards while
Congress got only 49
but the party is still
making efforts expect-
ing cross voting.
The BJP leaders are
also suspecting cross
voting in JMC Greater
due to which efforts
are on to reach to the
disgruntled leaders.
Both the parties are
herding their council-
lors till November 10,
the election day for the
mayor posts.

ta Solanki.

cilors out of Jodhpur.

Jaipur: BJP contin-
ued rounds of meet-
ings on Saturday to fi-
nalise the names of
Panchayat Samiti and
Zila Parishad.
The party leaders
held discussions over
the names of candi-
dates from Churu, Si-
kar, Jhalawar, Ajmer,
and Bhilwara on Sat-
urday. Party sources
said several sitting

other public repre-
sentatives have de-
manded tickets for
their family members
but the organisation
wants to give chances
to party workers.
Leader of opposition
Gulabchand Kataria
said that the panels of
single name are ready
for all places except in
five districts and the list
of candidates can be re-
leased anytime.
Kataria said that the
party is giving opportu-
nities to new workers
but in some places,
where there are no oth-
er names, the relatives
of leaders are being
considered for tickets.
Deputy leader of op-
position Rajendra
Rathore, union minis-
ters Arjun Ram Megh-
wal, Kailash Chaud-
hary, and other office
bearers were present
in the meeting held at

quarters. Yogesh Shrama
Jaipur: Breaking si-
lence regarding absence
from the recently con-
cluded municipal elec-
tions, the former depu-
ty chief minister and
former PCC
chief Sachin Pilot said
that he would always be
with the party workers
and there should be no
doubt about it.
He said that he has
always been available
and will continue to do
so in the future as well.
Speaking on the Gurjar
agitation Pilot said that
solution to all problems
can be found through
peaceful means & dia-
logue and the con-
cerned people should
be assured of the fact
that whatever Congress
had committed will be
fulfilled as the state
government along with
other people were
working on different
levels and soon there
will be a peaceful reso-
lution to the problem as
the dialogue between
the Gurjar community
and the government
was still on.
When asked about the
report by the AICC com-
mittee which was
formed after the com-
promise between dissi-
dents and the rival
camp, Pilot said that
whatever steps are be-
ing taken and whichev-
er are due to be taken
will be public in due
time but as of now our
aim is to ensure good
performance in the pan-
chayat elections.

some suspicious money
transfers by Ayub and
Sattar from middle east-

and to receive the
prize money he
would have to pay Rs

blinded by his greed
for the prize money,
paid Rs 4.17 lakh
more to various Pay-

EXIT POLL
SHOCKER
FOR JD-U,
BJP IN BIHAR
rom Pennsylvania and Nevada, it
is now time to move to Purnea and
Nawada, in other words, Bihar
where voting ended on Saturday
evening. The moment the last vote
was cast pollsters took over to analyse the
exit poll data to predict what lies ahead for
the Bharatiya Janata Party-Janata Dal-Unit-
ed combine. Shockingly, the exit poll num-
bers don’t augur well for the three-time Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar as not one but almost
all the exit polls were unanimous in giving
the “double engine”, as Prime Minister Nar-
endra Modi commented on Tejashvi Yadav-
Rahul Gandhi combine, the lead over the
double engine sarkar of BJP and JD-U.
Modi and Nitish reminding voters of Lalu
Yadav’s “jungle raj” does not seem to have
swayed voters. Nor did the prime minister’s
attempt to corner Rahul Gandhi over Paki-
stan’s role in Pulwama have an impact. What
may have worked in favour of the ninth
standard pass Tejashvi Yadav was his prom-
ise of 10 lakh jobs and the anti-incumbency
factor against Nitish. On Tejashvi’s job prom-
ise the ruling combine could only ask from
where he will get those jobs in the absence of
industry. The factor of economic distress
caused by a long spell of lockdown in view of
the pandemic may also have played a role.
Even before the exit poll results began to be
discussed, Nitish Kumar’s statement at the
end of campaigning for the last phase that this
was his last election and the prime minister
telling voters that he needed Nitish as CM for
Bihar’s development suggested that the JD-U
had, in a way, conceded defeat. PM’s remark
came to a tad late as Nitish saw BJP hand in
Chirag Paswan challenging his leadership.
Of course, exit polls can go wrong the way
theydidin America whereDonald Trumpwas
predicted to be swept aside. So the Chanakya’s
projection of 180 (plus, minus 11) seats for the
Mahagathbandhan (MGB) led by Tejashvi Ya-
dav should be looked at with some reserva-
tions. Chanakya gave BJP-JD-U 55 seats. The
numbers projected indicate that Lalu Yadav’s
party now helmed by his son has gone beyond
the traditional Muslim-Yadav votes to now en-
joy the support of upper castes, OBCs other
thanYadavs,and,moreimportantly,theyouth.
If theseprojectednumbersdocometrueand
TejashviYadavbecomesthechief minister,ap-
prehensions about Bihar’s future will rise
again. It is a fact that Lalu and later his wife
Rabri Devi allowed the state to be ruled by ma-
fia,kidnappers,andextortionists.Thedevelop-
ment came to a standstill as blatant loot of
public money by Lalu and his supporters be-
came the order of the day. In terms of govern-
ance,Nitishwastheexactoppositeof Laluand
Rabri. An unsuccessful cricketer, Tejashvi
took on the PM, Nitish, Yogi Adityanath, and
other big guns with mature confidence to put
his alliance ahead, at least for now.
IN-DEPTH
F
alloween seems
an appropriate
time of year to
share the story
of the Chaffin
family and how a ghost
helped decide a dispute
over an inheritance. James
L Chaffin of Monksville,
North Carolina, died after
an accident in 1921, leaving
his estate in full to his fa-
vourite son Marshall and
nothing to his wife and
three other children. A
year later Marshall died, so
the house and 120 acres of
land went to Marshall’s
widow and son.
But four years later, his
youngestsonJames“Pink”
Chaffin started having ex-
traordinary dreams in
which his father visited
him and directed him to
the location of a second,
later will in which Chaffin
senior left the property di-
vided between his widow
and the surviving children.
The case went to court and,
as you’d expect, the news-
papers of the time went
mad for the story.
The court found in
Pink’s favour and, thanks
to the publicity, the Socie-
ty for Psychical Research
investigated, finally com-
ing to the conclusion that
Pink had indeed been vis-
ited by his father’s ghost.
Pink himself never wa-
vered from this explana-
tion, stating: “I was fully
convinced that my father’s
spirit had visited me for
the purpose of explaining
some mistake.”
Unlikely as it might
seem in the cold light of
day, ghosts and hauntings
are a mainstream area of
belief. Recent studies by
YouGov in the United King-
dom and the United States
show that between 30%
and 50% of the population
says they believe in ghosts.
Belief in ghosts also ap-
pears to be global, with
most (if not all) cultures
around the world having
some widely accepted kind
of ghosts.
The existence of a ghost
as an incorporeal (body-
less) soul or spirit of a dead
person or animal is con-
trary to the laws of nature
as we understand them, so
it seems there is something
here that calls for explana-
tion. We can look at the
worlds of literature, phi-
losophy and anthropology
for some of the reasons
why people are so keen to
believe.
The desire for justice
and the belief in some
form of supernatural pro-
tection (which we see in
more major religions) ad-
dress basic human needs.
Ghosts have long been
thought of as vehicles for
justice. Shakespeare’s
Hamlet is visited by the
ghost of his murdered fa-
ther seeking revenge on
his murderer. In Macbeth,
meanwhile, the murdered
Banquo points an accusing
finger at the man responsi-
ble for his death.
This idea has its equiva-
lents today in various
countries. In Kenya, a mur-
dered person may become
an ngoma, a spirit who pur-
sues their murderer, some-
times causing them to give
themself up to the police.
Or in Russia, the rusalka is
the spirit of a dead woman
who died by drowning and
now lures men to their
death. She may be released
when her death is avenged.

igh cut-off marks for entrance
to some of the prestigious col-
leges in India, even going up to
100%, is a worrying trend that
does not show any signs of
change. The rising cut-off trend
reflectspoorlyonaccesstohigh-
er education in the country and
on many aspects of school edu-
cation that profoundly impact
students, families, and society.
Many commentators, educa-
tionists, scholars, and various
reports have repeatedly point-
ed out that education in schools
today has become rigid and
very taxing. In theory, educa-
tion incorporates wide-ranging
goals like personality develop-
ment, learning and enjoying,
becoming seekers of knowl-
edge, encouraging creativity
and originality, and developing
a student’s relationship with
the social, economic, and natu-
ral environment. But the real-
ity is that it has become fo-
cussed on marks, examina-
tions, and trying to imbibe lots
of information and data even if
it means learning by rote and
cramming up. The students
and their families come under
tremendous pressure, and thus
a substantial section of the so-
ciety is adversely affected. Ac-
cess to a quality education it-
self has become a sort of a
competition because good qual-
ity schools are few and far be-
tween and tend to be concen-
trated in cities and metros.
It is strange but true that it
has almost become necessary to
take tuitions for children seek-
ing admissions to good nursery
kindergartenschools.Asachild
moves up the classes, tuitions
becomemoreandmoreapartof
the study system, and somehow
the teaching in schools gener-
ally falls short or is inadequate
tocovertheprescribedsyllabus.
Instead of a child or a student
being in a school and able to
covertheacademicsyllabusand
participate in a co-curricular
and extracurricular activity,
he/she and the parents have to
spend a good time getting to and
from tuition centers.
The above-mentioned relat-
ed problems are well known,
but one has to think about
some practical solutions. In the
first place, considering the di-
versity, the geographical
spread, and the inability of
many families to access educa-
tion and the problem of admis-
sions, it is worth its while to
seriously consider giving a
fresh impetus and boost to
open school systems. As the
open school involves flexible
systems of time and age as well
as learning and examination,
they are very suitable for stu-
dents coming from families
where uninterrupted educa-
tion and daily attendance often
become a problem. It would
also relieve the extreme pres-
sure that our present typical
education puts on the students
and families.
The open education system
or what used to be called cor-
respondence courses can easily
be given importance at the
higher education level, reduc-
ing the problem and the ex-
treme adverse consequences of
cut-offs and frustration. Keep-
ing in view the flexibility and
more comprehensive range of
subjects and choices intro-
duced by the New Education
Policy, a good quality open col-
lege system can overcome the
stress generated by the present
campus and fixed examination
system. It can lead to learning
becoming a joy and encourage
creativity, bring out the best in
the individual, and reduce the
very high stress of competi-
tiveness and fixed time tables,
which the present system gen-
erates.
An open system of education
would appear to be easier to
carryoutnow.Withthepandem-
ic of COVID 19 online teaching
and learning and working has
become more common and
widespread. Even in villages,
children and students are en-
deavouring to learn this way.
There is, of course, no real
substitute for campus educa-
tion. Hopefully, in due course,
physical interactions and cul-
tural and educational activities
can take place in schools, col-
leges, and universities. This
environment facilitates per-
sonality development and self-
confidence in an individual;
therefore, as education and
gaining of knowledge have
such immense value for socie-
ty, it is also a good idea for soci-
ety to come forward in the de-
velopment of quality educa-
tion. There have been several
instances of social organisa-
tions setting up good institu-
tions, and there is no dearth
even today. Still, they fall far
short of the ever-growing re-
quirement and quest for educa-
tion. Therefore the various or-
ganisations can either open
their institutions or contribute
through the concept of Corpo-
rate Social Responsibility
(CSR) or help out in other ways.
Governmentinstitutionshave
the most expansive reach in vil-
lagesandcities,andsmalltowns.
Social and corporate organisa-
tions’contributionintheseareas
wouldfacilitateaccesstoquality
education and reduce the rush
and pressure to seek admission
in cities where living conditions
are already quite congested and
challenging.
There is no doubt that the
Governments, both at the Un-
ion and State levels have their
constitutional obligation to
provide quality education to its
citizens. Yet, proactive steps by
society, it’s the social and cor-
porate organisation, giving a
boost to the open system of
education and focusing seri-
ously on quality in existing in-
stitutions aided by online sys-
tems would reduce many of the
ills and problems would con-
tribute to improving the sys-
tem substantially.

PM MODI ATTENDS IIT-D CONVOCATION
‘Flexibility will enhance your skill’
The Prime Minister also said technology will play the biggest role in the post-COVID world
New Delhi: Flexibility
and humility will en-
hance the ability of stu-
dents, said Prime Min-
ister Narendra Modi in
his address at the 51st
annual convocation of
the Indian Institute of
Technology (IIT), Delhi
on Saturday.
Addressing the event
through video confer-
encing, the PM advised
students to never shed
their identity but also
be open to working to-
gether in a team. “You
are all students with
exceptional abilities.
After all, you passed
one of the toughest ex-
ams, the JEE! And then
you came to IIT. But,
there are two things
that will enhance your
ability even more. One
is flexibility and the
other is humility,” PM
Modi said.
“By flexibility, I refer
to the possibility to
stand out and fit in. At
no point of your life
must you shed your
identity. Never be a
‘Lite Version’. Be the
original version. At the
same time, never hesi-
tate from fitting into a
team. Individual ef-
forts have their limits,”
he said.
Elaborating on the
topic of humility he
said, “You must be
rightfully proud of your
success, your achieve-
ments. Very few people
have done what you
have. This should make
you even more down to
earth.”
The PM also said
that it has been proven
that technology is the
most powerful medi-
um to reach out to the
most underprivileged
classes and it will play
the biggest role in the
post-COVID world.
Students should keep a
mantra for their work-
place, he said. —ANI

Saturday took a swipe
at incumbent Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar,
stating that people will
send him into retire-
ment as the Janata Dal-
United (JDU) chief has
played his innings.
He said that Kumar is
willing to retire and
people should bid fare-
well to him with re-
spect. “Nitish ji is a
very big leader. He has
played his innings. If a
leader says that this is
his last election, he
should be given fare-
well with respect. The
people of Bihar were
waiting for the farewell
occasion. People will
send him into retire-
ment in this election,”
Raut told reporters
here.
Earlier this week, Bi-
har Chief Minister Nit-
ish Kumar had said that
the present assembly
poll in the state will be
“his last election” and
“ant bhala to sab bha-
la”. He made the re-
marks on the last day of
campaigning for the
third phase of election
in the state.

er turnout of 8.13 % till

In terms of vote share,
Today’s Chanakya pro-
jected 44 per cent for the
RJD-led opposition alli-
ance and 34 per cent for
the NDA.
However, ABP-CVot-
er projected a higher
vote share for NDA at
37.7 per cent followed by
the grand alliance with
36.3 per cent and 26 per
cent for others.
India Today-Axis My
India poll showed 44
per cent of respond-
ents prefer Tejashwi
Yadav as the next chief
minister, while 35 per
cent would like to give
another chance to Nit-
ish Kumar. It projected
44 per cent vote share
for the RJD-led alli-
ance and 39 per cent for
the NDA.
In the last assembly
elections held in 2015,
the RJD had won 80
seats with a vote share
of 18 per cent, while
JD(U) won 71 seats
with vote share of 11
per cent. The BJP had
won 53 seats with 24
per cent vote share
and Congress had 27
seats and seven per
cent votes.
At that time, the
JD(U) had fought the
election in alliance
with RJD and Con-
gress among other par-
ties, while LJP was in
the BJP-led NDA alli-
ance. LJP had got two
seats with five per cent
vote share.
This time, JD(U) is
back in the NDA, while
LJP fought the elec-
tion alone. During the
2019 Lok Sabha elec-
tions when both JD(U)
and LJP were in the
NDA, the alliance had
won 39 out of 40 seats
in the state.
Tejashwi to...
contesting on 16 seats
in this round, may cut
into their votes and
could win one to two
seats. NDA also faces a
tough fight in Purnia,
Araria and Katihar. In
the Kosi belt too, the
Grand Alliance looks
ahead with only NDA
veterans such as minis-
ters, Bijendra Prasad
Yadav (Supaul) and
Narendra Narayan Ya-
dav (Alamganj) looking
good to retain their
bastions.
Despite the pandem-
ic, Bihar saw a consid-
erable voter turnout
with Phase 1 recording
54 per cent votes –– mar-
ginally lower than 54.75
per cent for the same
seats in 2015 elections.
Similarly, Phase 2 wit-
nessed 55.7 per cent
voter turnout as com-
pared to 56.17 per cent
recorded last time.

‘Pak can use tension for
trouble in border state’PunjabMPsdelegationmeetsShah;seeksresumptionoftrainservices
New Delhi: Amid the
stand-off between the
Centre and Punjab over
farm laws and disrup-
tion in goods train ser-
vices, the Congress MPs
from the state held a
meeting with Union
Home Minister Amit
Shah on Saturday, ap-
prising him of their
concern that Pakistan
can use the tension to
foment trouble in the
border state.
Several MPs pointed
out that the tension in
the region due to non-
operation of goods
trains and farmers’ agi-
tation can be used by
the enemy intelligence
outfit ISI.
“When the situation
between the Centre and
any state becomes
tense, bad elements like
Pakistan’s ISI take ad-
vantage of it and can
mislead youngsters.
Punjab is a peaceful
state and should remain
so,” said Congress MP
Gurjeet Singh Aujla.
The MP added that
Shah told them that he
is mindful of the situa-
tion and is aware of the
neighbouring country’s
intention regarding
Punjab.
“Punjab is a border
state and there could be
a serious problem if
things aren’t resolved
soon. Home Minister
Amit Shah assured us
that he is taking stock
of Punjab and we will
resolve the issues
soon,” he added.
Another MP Jasbir
Singh Gill said that the
meeting took place in a
healthy and positive en-
vironment. Rail servic-
es are expected to be
resumed soon as the
disruption has affected
the economy of the
state, he added.
Armed forces have to

New Delhi: The armed
forces have to be pre-
pared for hybrid threats
emanating from multi-
ple fronts, which man-
dates a high level of

fice and leadership at

Indian Air Force chief
RKS Bhadauria said on
Saturday.
He was addressing
the passing out parade
for 217 cadets of the
139th course at the Na-
tional Defence Acade-
my (NDA) in Pune.
Addressing the ca-
dets here, Bhadauria
said that it’s an honour
for him to review the
139th parade, adding
that the excellent stand-
ard of parade displayed
today “exemplifies the
ethos of this great insti-
tution”.
“Our armed forces
have to be prepared for
hybrid threats emanat-
ing from multiple
fronts. This mandates a
very high level of
knowledge, dedication,
commitment and sacri-
fice and leadership at
all levels at all times.
This is what each ser-
vice and nation expect
from you,” he said.

became aware of the
readiness of Col Kirodi
Singh Bainsla and his
representatives to hold
a dialogue with the

Terming Col Bainsla a

sla. In present digital
age minister Chandna
opted for the traditional
mainstream media to
speak to the top Gurjar
leader as he revealed
the sequence of events
which transpired dur-
ing the past few days.
Chandna stated that
even earlier the Gurjar
Aarakshan Sangharsh
Samiti had invited him
for talks to Bayana and
he had immediately
reached Bharatpur and
held the dialogue.
Again Col Bainsla had
invited him to Pilupura
to hold talks regarding
the demands of Gurjar
Aarakshan Sangharsh
Samiti and yet again
the minister had imme-
diately left Jaipur for
Pilupura. But unfortu-
nately the meeting
could not take place be-
cause the way to Pilu-
pura was blocked.
Chandna further stated
that he had immediate-
ly called Col Bainsla on
his mobile but was
asked to talk to Vijay
Bainsla who in turn
told Mr Chandna to call
back after sometime but
despite efforts the cru-
cial call could not hap-
pen. The young Gurjar
minister said that the
state government was
always prepared for a
dialogue and its doors
were always open. He
reminded Col Bainsla
and his representatives
that it was the time of
Diwali and people were
facing many problems
due to the agitation.
Minister Chandna in-
vited Col Bainsla and
his representatives for
a dialogue in either
Bayana or Hindaun so
that a decision on de-
mands could be taken.

RAJE’S ‘VANISHING
ACT’!
There are times when those
in constant vigil of public
‘vanish’ without a trace and the
people around them, specially the
‘leadership’ is left wondering about
their whereabouts. Though such
a situation arises too few and far
between in the political circles,
however, as and when it does, it
brings with it immense curiosity
among the relevant circles.
Something of this sort has recently
happened in the Bhartiya Janta
Party (BJP), whose leaders were
bafﬂed by the ‘sudden absence’
of their senior leader and two
time chief minister of Rajasthan
- Vasundhara Raje. Always the
one to gather public attention, it is
being said in the political circles
that Raje’s conﬁdante’s Ashok
Parnami took her without any
security or protocol on Friday and
people are curious as to which
‘political meet’ did Raje go for and
what ‘secret mission’ is Parnami
working on? There is immense
curiosity on this development
among BJP politicos and it
appears, only the future will reveal
what had happened on Friday! ...
But someone must tell a ‘discreet’
Parnami that ‘extra’ secrecy is
always injurious to health.

COLONEL’S
DILEMMA!
The manner in which Gurjar
agitation has progressed, raises
several questions, prime amongst
which is as to why Colonel Bainsla
is changing his stand? Only a few
days back, Bainsla senior was
ready to speak to minister Ashok
Chandana and ever termed him
that he is the ‘apple of the eye’ of
Gurjar community. Chandana also
termed Colonel Bainsla to be like
his father and when all seemed
to be going conducive, suddenly
a ‘chakka jam’ has been called.
Authorities including Karauli
Collector and SP held talks with
Bainsla on the various aspects
and the offer by state government,
to which one Gurjar faction has
agreed to. But with Bainsla Junior
aka Vijay Bainsla’s ‘Veto’ and
raising of one point demand, the
situation has turned ‘tense.’ The
state government has suggested to
form a high- powered committee.
Meanwhile, even when the Colonel
has fallen ill, he has suddenly
become extremely active. Now,
it remains to be seen, if Colonel
also delves in his love for his son
or for the community since it is
widely believed that Vijay’s ‘stance’
may change the situation making
it ‘tense.’

WHY DID NITISH
HAVE TO CALL IT HIS
LAST ELECTION?
Just before Bihar’s
thirdandfinalphase
of polling, ‘Good Gov-
ernance Babu’ (Nitish
Kumar) ran his trump
card saying that ‘this is
his last election’, but
look ironically neither
Trump could ‘score’ in
the US elections nor Ni-
tish’s emotional card in
Seemanchal area
worked. It is worth men-
tioning that the Yadav,
Muslim, Dalit, and Ma-
hadalit had the highest
votes in these 78 seats in
the last phase. It is said
that when the Kosi river
floods occurred in 2008,
as a first-term CM Nit-
ish did
a
good
j o b .
The
Manmohan Singh-led
UPA government was at
the center then from
which Bihar got a relief
package of one thou-
sand crores. But in this
Kosi zone, there was a
steady decline in Nit-
ish’s popularity ever
since. So, the NDA had
to throw in everything
here for damage control
and just 18 minutes be-
fore the end of the third
phase election cam-
paign, PM Modi issued
his forward letter and
says’ If there is Nitish
in Bihar then here the
caravan of development
will continue, the mon-
ey will continue to come
from the Center.” Nota-
bly, in this phase of the
election, Nitish openly
defied the ‘Citizenship
Amendment Act’ but no
big leader of BJP came
out with a rebuttal. Yes,
Yogi Adityanath did
pick up the issue in pub-
lic meetings wherein he
mentioned ‘CAA’, but it
was just the puny
sound among thun-
der. So, in Bihar,
the writings of
people’s aspira-
tions are writ-
ten on the
walls.
WILL NITISH
BECOME VICE
PRESIDENT?
If Nitish Kumar fails
to get Bihar’s throne
for the fourth time, then
what will be his future?
It is said that he has the
choice that he can join
the Modi cabinet if he
wants as the cabinet re-
shuffle can happen any-
time after Diwali. Since
Nitish has information
that BJP has also of-
fered LJP leader Chirag
Paswan to join the Modi
cabinet, Nitish is in a
dilemma as to how he
should be in the same
cabinet with Chi-
rag? If
sources
are to be believed, there
is a unique proposal
from the saffron camp
in front of Nitish that
if he wants, he can
become the next Vice
President of the
country? What better
offer can there be for a
leader playing his last
innings in electoral
politics?
RAM MADHAV EYES
RAJYA SABHA
After the death of
BJP’s Rajya Sabha
MP from Karnataka -
Ashok Gasti - due to Co-
rona, the election on
this vacant seat is to be
held on December 1.
Ram Madhav is firmly
asserting his claim on
this seat, saying that his
personal connections
with the newly elected
Vice President of Amer-
ica Kamala Harris are
very good. It is said that
Madhav is claiming his
Tamil Nadu connection
to Harris. At the same
time, there is a section
of the BJP which is
saying that diplomacy
does not run on a par-
ticular person. External
Affairs Minister S Jais-
hankar is also said to be
in favor of the same
opinion. Jaishankar’s
father Krishnaswamy
Subrahmanyam is one
of the foremost interna-
tional strategists while
his brother Sanjay Sub-
rahmanyam is a world-
renowned historian.
BJP leaders are raising
the question that if Ram
Madhav really had such
a good relationship with
Harris, why did he not
act to turn Harris’s
stand on the Kashmir is-
sue because he has
been in charge of
Jammu and Kashmir
evenduringtheremoval
of Article 370. Harris
was also strongly op-
posed to the removal
and has been calling
Kashmir an interna-
tional issue. Harris still
made it an issue when
Jaishankar refused to
meet American Con-
gressman Pramila Jeya-
paul in December 2019.
YOGI’S ‘ADITYA’
AMBITIONS
Uttar Pradesh Chief
Minister Yogi Adi-
tyanath is always wor-
ried about his image, so
he has a special request
for his publicity. In re-
cent days, Yo-
gi’s huge
hoardings
have been
installed by the UP Vi-
kas Nigam in 12 major
metros of the country
and thus Delhi’s metro
has been painted in the
color of Yogi. Sources
reveal that 128 hoard-
ings of Yogis have been
installed in Delhi NCR
alone, apart from this
Yogi is also shining in
the capitals of many
South Indian cities,
such as Chennai, Hy-
derabad, Bengaluru,
etc. Now the people of
South India may not be
able to read the hoard-
ings in the Hindi lan-
guage, but they can un-
derstand that this indi-
vidual is a ‘big leader’.

Karauli: The ongoing
Gurjar agitation in its
7th day might appear
peaceful on the face of
it but it is disturbing
the normal life style
of the people of the
district in many
ways, the suspension
of internet services
being the bone of
contention for the
majority.
The students de-
pendent on online edu-
cation have been forced
into unwelcome pre
Diwali vacations. The
crucial online applica-
tions to various vacan-
cies are also on hold
along with various cer-
tificates which are
made online also have
to wait. Internet bank-
ing, online travel book-
ing and online shop-
ping, which have be-
come part of necessity,
specially in corona
times, also have suf-
fered due to non-avail-
ability of net services.
Work from home em-
ployees are another set
of victims of the inter-
net dependents. Al-
though the lease
lines and broadband
services are on but
they can be accessed
by a very limited
number of people
even in big cities.
The innocent citi-
zens are silently suf-
fering amid the
‘peaceful’ agitation.

‘CHAKKA JAM’ FROM
NOVEMBER 9 IN STATE!
First India Bureau
Sawai Madhopur:
The Gurjar agitation
which started on No-
vember 1 is now spread-
ing to the other dis-
tricts of the state.
On Saturday the
Gurjar community
jammed the Tonk-
Chirgaon national
highway near Kush-
alipura, which was
lost to Gurjars in ear-
lier Gurjar agitation.
The jam was opened
after senior police and
administrative offi-
cials pacified the Gur-
jar leaders and in-
structions from senior
community leaders
asked the Kushalipura
leaders to move away.
But local Gurjar
leader Bhura Bhagat
threatened to jam
the Tonk-Chirgaon
national highway
again on November 9
if the demands of
the Gurjars were not
met by then.
It is noteworthy
that Gurjar leader
Bhura Bhagat has
been touring the vil-
lages around Kushali-
pura area and appeal-
ing to the community
to ensure that agita-
tion gets successful.
Earlier when jam
was on, Khandar SHO
Digvijay Singh tried to
clear the traffic jam on
the national highway
by diverting the vehi-
cles to alternate routes.

PERSONAL GOALS.
WEEKLYWEEKLYARIES
MAR 21 - APR 20
You can begin a steady movement forward this
week as Mars, your ruling planet, begins to
move forward after having been retrograde since
10th September. It has likely generated some
frustration in this time but also encouraged
you to correct matters. Interactions with others
or the position they hold can become clearer.
Gains from unforeseen quarters await you. The
unmarried can scout matrimony sites to find
their dream partners and find success.
TAURUS
APR 21 - MAY 20
Communication with others can become
more significant from now to early December.
Something can be finalised that may have been
started in October but got nowhere. You are
now in a better position to have your priorities
taken into account than previously. There can be
genuine interest in your future goals. Now is the
time to let bygones be bygones; enjoy the present
and be optimistic about the future. Some might
even land a new job.
GEMINI
MAY 21 - JUNE 21
If you feel something is too much to handle or
that too much is expected of you, there is the
perfect opportunity to sort this out once and for
all, from now to early December. You will need
to put consistent effort into it. This will be the
only way you will convince other people that you
are serious. Then you will have to stick to it. You
will be generous and helpful this week. Don’t
undervalue your contributions.
CANCER
JUNE 22 - JULY 23
There is no holding you back this week; you will
undertake challenges and succeed. The ability
to take a balanced position when it comes to
commitments that are worthwhile or those
you wish to handle, is in play this week. Other
people can be open to any creative ideas you put
forward from now to early December. You should
not hold back when it comes to anything
you want to discuss either.
LEO
JULY 24 - AUGUST 23
You will adapt well to change. Research scholars
will excel in their chosen area. You could begin
to either see results or what is possible in the
future with something important to you personally
where you set out in a new direction 2 years ago.
Progress can be made from now to early January.
It will require you to put your mind to establishing
a solid underlying foundation to build upon to
early December.
VIRGO
AUG 24 - SEP 23
Take a break from your busy schedule and spend
more time with your family. Definite decision
making, particularly on any matter you may
have tried to be final about in October will now
be possible to early December. This may not
alleviate somebody else pushing for what they
want. You are in a good position to take a risk
with whatever you feel will work. If you don’t try,
you will never know.
LIBRA
SEPT 24 - OCTOBER 22
A turning point on the part of somebody else
can be a relief to you, leaving you in a position
to be able to establish greater balance in your
own circumstances. You need to encourage
them to move forward in their own way. Focus
on your finances and anything that wasn’t fully
sorted in October will be the case to early
December. Selfless service is your motto this
week. Lady luck will smile on you.
SCORPIO
OCT 23 - NOVEMBER 22
Mercury, the planet of thought and
communication, moves back into your
own sign where it will remain until
2nd December. This is giving you the
opportunity to make some final decisions
and move forward with any matter affecting
you personally. Don’t be distracted by
anything going on behind the scenes. Focus
on you.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 - DEC 22
Greater clarity on what your priorities need
to be will now require you to focus from now
to early December on what you need to let
go. You can realise that you will be freer to
move forward in your own creative way, though
that doesn’t need to be done in a hurry. There
can still be things to surface, so have some
patience. Some of you who have been going
through emotionally traumatic times will
recover.
CAPRICORN
DEC 23 - JAN 20
It is back to focussing on your priorities
from now to early December after initial
considerations in October. Better opportunities
may present themselves now. You might have
changed your mind in some way as well.
Greater confidence should now be present to
put matters in place, knowing that you can
move forward with them. Do good even to
your enemies; they will bring you indirect
gains.
PISCES
FEB20 - MARCH 20
Directions you can take in the future will have
a more positive feel attached to them from now
to early December. You may have tried without
complete success during October. There was
something to learn but now you a free to move
forward. Greater insight or clarity can arise
when it comes to what should take priority.
Health will be a cause for concern but you
will recover.

Make definite decisions when it comes to
commitments you are prepared to take on. This
does not mean you have to agree with what is
expected. You have had plenty of time since mid
September to consider your options and gather
any information necessary. This can have a lot
to do with major new cycles you will enter just
before Christmas. You will recover from an illness
and will be able to work hard.
