Darbhanga: In a veiled
attack at Congress and
other Opposition par-
ties,PrimeMinisterNar-
endra Modi on Wednes-
day said that those who
used to ask us about the
date of Ram temple con-
struction are now com-
pelled to applaud.
Addressing a poll ral-
ly here, the Prime Min-
ister said that the peo-
ple of Bihar have taken
a resolve to again defeat
those who brought ‘jun-
gle raj’ to the state, those
who looted Bihar.
“After years of wait,
the construction of
Ram temple has start-
ed. Those political peo-
ple who used to ask us
for a date (for temple
construction) are now
compelled to applaud...
It is the identity of BJP
and NDA. We do what
we promise,” he said.
“People of Bihar
have taken a resolve to
again defeat those who
brought ‘jungle raj’ in
the state, those who
looted Bihar. These are
the people under whose
government crime was
rampant in the state.
They did corruption in
money meant for loan
waiver. NDA has taken
a resolve to make Bihar
self-reliant, while on
the other side are peo-
ple who are eyeing mon-
ey which will come for
development projects in
Bihar,” he added.

New Delhi: CEC Sunil
Arora chose to share
his impromptu
thoughts, as to how ECI
felt after the completion
of the first phase of
elections to the state as-
sembly of Bihar with
the media, before
Umesh Sinha Secretary
General, Chandra
Bhushan and other sen-
ior officials had a de-
tailed interaction with
them.
Sunil Arora started
by saying that we al-
ways vouch for free,
fair, ethical and trans-
parent elections but
this time we added ‘safe’
elections to our aim,
‘safe’ because of this
ongoing pandemic. “At
times, the ECI was de-
motivated by comments
on why are we holding
the elections during
COVID19 but ECI was
of the view, which I ar-
ticulated in the opening
press conference of Bi-
har Elections at Gyan
Bhavan on September
25 and later at Patna on
October 1, that for the
Election Commission
of India the Bihar Elec-
tions are a ‘leap of faith’
not a ‘leap into the
dark”, added CEC Aro-
ra.
Senior officials in the
EC, who themselves
were taken by surprise,
said without being
quoted, this prefatory
statement of CEC was
probably prompted by
the peculiar situation
of holding elections in
a state with 7.29 crore
electorate under the
shadow of pandemic 19
when there was no
dearth of skeptics and
cynics. The Election
Commission has been
enthused by the mas-
sive participation of
the electorate of Bihar
who have reaffirmed
their faith in electoral
process of India, to
whom CEC Arora
expressed the grateful-
ness of the Commis-
sion.
Chief Election Commissioner Sunil Arora speaking during the virtual press conference.
Well done, Mr. Chief
Election Commissioner
Dr Anita
New Delhi/Patna:
Conducting world’s
biggest election in the
times of corona pan-
demic is no mean task,
as it still isn’t over as
two phases of polling
in Bihar is left. But go-
ing by the way the
first phase is conduct-
ed not just peacefully,
but also in compliance
with Covid guidelines,
the Election Commis-
sion headed by Chief
Election Commission-
er Sunil Arora cer-
tainly needs a pat on
the back.
The voter turnout
of around 54 per cent
shows not just the peo-
ple’s confidence in the
democratic frame-
work, but also im-
mense trust on its
torchbearer - EC.
It is the result of
tremendous home-
work on the ground
doubled up with CEC
Arora’s multiple vis-
its to the poll-bound
state that the election
has started on a posi-
tive note.
Bihar Elections were a ‘leap of faith’ not a ‘leap in the dark’: CEC
No extension to Swarup, search on for next CS!
Aditi Nagar
New Delhi: While
there is some clarity on
the appointment of Di-
rector General of Po-
lice for Rajasthan, sad-
ly suspense looms large
on the service exten-
sion proposal for Chief
Secretary Rajeeva
Swarup since till
Wednesday night, the
Government of India
(GoI) did not take any
final call on the matter.
In fact, according to a
highly reliable input,
the proposal of the
state government was
not even processed and
was kept in the prover-
bial ‘cold bag’.
On the contrary, Ta-
mil Nadu Chief Secre-
tary K. Shanmugam,
who also belongs to
same batch as Rajeeva
Swarup (1985), was giv-
en extension two weeks
back. There are uncon-
firmed reports that
such ‘favors’ are not be-
ing granted to Con-
gress ruled states like
Rajasthan and Chattis-
garh where also the
current CS is likely to
retire next month but
CM Bhupesh Bhagel is
keeping a close watch
on Rajasthan ‘develop-
ment’ before making
any extension request
to the GoI.
Even though CS
Swarup was in New
Delhi on Wednesday to
attend a meeting in
UPSC, but sources
claim that there was no
‘action’ in the DOPT
and PMO pertaining to
his service extension.
It is learnt that in the
last attempt Rajeeva,
also met one top official
in South block but
there were no positive
indications. Turn to P8Rajeeva Swarup Veenu GuptaUsha Sharma

New Delhi: Union
Minister Smriti Irani
on Wednesday tested
corona positive. “It is
rare for me to search
for words while
making announce-
ment; hence keeping
it simple - I’ve tested
positive for #COVID
and request those
who came in con-
tact with me to get
tested,” she wrote.
New Delhi: The Vice
Chancellor of the
University of Delhi
has been suspended
on President Ram
Nath Kovind’s orders
on Wednesday,
amid a major row
over appointments
that spawned an
ugly power tussle.
The President also
allowed the inquiry
against the V-C.

state and the country.
He said that a case
of Love Jihad has
come to light in Hary-
ana and now the case
of conversion has
come up, which is
alarming.
“Crimes against
women and girls are
increasing in the en-
tire state including
Jaipur, Jodhpur and
Kota, incidents of loot,
robbery and murder
are also increasing
continuously which
the Chief Minister has
failed to stop. It is clear
that the state has be-
come a crime capital,”
he said.
LoP Gulabchand Ka-
taria has said that
those who are involved
in anti-national works,
have been encouraged
under Congress gov-
ernance in the state.
Such elements may
further promote un-
rest in the coming

nlike the old su-
perpower con-
test between
the United
States and the
Soviet Union, the incipient
cold war between China
and the US does not reflect
a fundamental conflict of
unalterably opposed ideol-
ogies. Instead, today’s Si-
no-American rivalry is
popularly portrayed as an
epic battle between autoc-
racy and democracy.
Moreover, the facts seem
to suggest that autocracy
has won while democracy
has fallen flat on its face.
Whereas the US under
President Donald Trump
has fumbled disastrously
during the COVID-19 pan-
demic, China has brought
the coronavirus under con-
trol. In the US, even wear-
ing face masks has been
politicized. But in Wuhan,
China – the pandemic’s
original epicenter – the au-
thorities tested the city’s 11
million residents for the
virus within ten days, in an
astounding display of ca-
pacity and order. For many,
the verdict seems clear: au-
thoritarianism is superior
to liberal democracy.
But such a conclusion is
simplistic and even danger-
ously misleading, for three
reasons. First, just as the US
under Trump is not repre-
sentativeof alldemocracies,
China under President Xi
Jinping should not be held
up as a paragon of autocra-
cy. Other democratic socie-
ties, such as South Korea
and New Zealand, have han-
dled the pandemic ably, and
political freedom did not
hobble their governments’
ability to implement virus-
containment measures.
As for examples of autoc-
racies that brought catas-
trophe upon themselves,
look no further than Chi-
na’s recent history. No mod-
ern Chinese leader held
more personal power than
Mao Zedong, yet his abso-
lute authority led to a mas-
sive famine followed by a de
facto civil war during the
Cultural Revolution. Chaos
is by no means unique to
democracy; under Mao, it
was insidiously deployed to
maintain his power.
Second, there are democ-
racies with illiberal fea-
tures and autocracies with
liberal ones. America’s cur-
rent troubles do not reflect
a universal failure of de-
mocracy, but rather the fail-
ureof ademocracywiththe
illiberal traits that Trump
hasbroughttothepresiden-
cy. As commander-in-chief,
Trump has ignored demo-
cratic norms such as bu-
reaucratic autonomy, the
separation of private inter-
ests and public office, and
respect for peaceful protest.
If democracies can take
an authoritarian turn, the
reverse can be true in au-
tocracies. Contrary to pop-
ularbelief,China’seconom-
ic ascent after its market
opening in 1978 was not the
result of dictatorship as
usual; if it had been, Mao
would have succeeded long
before. Instead, the econo-
my grew rapidly because
Mao’s successor, Deng Xi-
aoping, insisted on temper-
ing the perils of dictator-
ship by injecting the bu-
reaucracy with “democrat-
ic characteristics,” includ-
ing accountability, competi-
tion, and limits on power.
He set an example by reject-
ing personality cults. (Iron-
ically, Chinese banknotes
feature Mao, who despised
capitalism, rather than
Deng, the father of Chinese
capitalist prosperity.)
As Carl Minzner points
out, Xi, who became the
paramount leader in 2012,
has ushered in an “authori-
tarian revival.” Since then,
the official narrative is that
because China has succeed-
ed under centralized politi-
cal control, this system
should be maintained. In
fact, under Deng, it was a
hybrid political system
married to a firm commit-
menttomarketsthatmoved
China from poverty to mid-
dle-income status.

The significant growth in
the reserves has sparked an
often-heard debate about its
utilization for economic uplift-
ment at a time when the gov-

RESERVES
Forex reserves of $555.1 billion

PUTTING FOREX
RESERVES TO A
BETTER USE
The significant growth in the
reserves has sparked an often-
heard debate about its utiliza-
tion for economic upliftment at
a time when the government is
facing a spending challenge
due to stiff finances.
Most of India’s forex reserves
have been accumulated on the
back of capital flows over the
years while the current account
has remained in deficit due to
large-scale imports. In the Q1 of
FY21, India reported a one-off
current account surplus due to
verylowimportsastheCovid-19
pandemichadbroughttheworld
to a standstill. This surplus is
not sustainable and therefore,
the utilization of forex reserves
(built from capital account sur-
plus)forbuildinginfrastructure
and other allied activities may
not be appropriate.
A sustainable boost to ex-
ports coupled with a persistent
decline in imports can lead to a
further rise in forex reserves
due to current account surplus
and these can be used for ac-
tivities other than maintaining
safety and liquidity.
Can these “abundant” forex
reserves be channelized for bet-
ter returns? While using the
reserves for spending activities
could be a bad idea and set the
wrong precedent, RBI can sure-
ly ponder upon better return-
generating products in these
turbulent times.
Amajorproportionof foreign
exchange reserves are invested
by RBI into high-liquid assets
such as Euro-dominated bonds
and the US treasuries, with a
smallportioninvestedintogold.
TheUSandEuropeanCountries
have their policy rates at near-
zero and the sovereign yields of
some advanced economics have
goneintothenegativetrajectory
as well. Therefore, it makes
moresensetoconsiderdiversifi-
cation of the investable assets.
Increasing gold reserves as a
percentageof forexreservescan
be one such better return-gener-
ating tool for the central bank.
India, in particular, has a good
scope of increasing gold re-
serves as the RBI has followed a
more conservative approach
while investing forex reserves.
FPIS ON A BUYING
SPREE IN OCTOBER
Owing to better-than-anticipat-
ed quarterly results, the for-
eign portfolio investors (FPIs)
have pumped in net Rs 17,749
crores in October with a net
investment of Rs 15,642 crore
in equities and Rs 2,107 crore in
the debt segment.
Net buying by FPIs has
broughtcheertothemarketpar-
ticipants as emerging markets
like Thailand, Taiwan, Brazil,
andSouthAfricaarewitnessing
net outflows month-on-month.
Apartfromthequarterlyresults,
the surplus liquidity in devel-
oped markets and full resump-
tion of business activities has
kept the interest of FPIs intact.
Moreover, the accommoda-
tive stance maintained by glob-
al central banks could ensure
foreign money flowing into the
emerging markets.
The Covid-19 pandemic has
caused a lasting effect on FPI
flows in 2020. To add to the un-
certainty, state elections in In-
dia coupled with the US Presi-
dentialelectionswillmakemar-
kets more volatile, which could
affect the FPIs participation.
NEW RECORD CASES
FORCING GOVERNMENTS
OVER THE GLOBE TO
TAKE A STRICTER STANCE
After scheduling several rallies
in the worst-hit counties in the
US, President Donald Trump
blamed the surge in testing for
the rise in the number of daily
cases to a record high of 83,000.
New York and New Jersey have
contributed the most to the
newly reported cases of the vi-
rus. Health emergency, extend-
ed for another month, is under-
way in New Jersey as the state
reported the greatest number
of cases since early May. While
the fatality rate in the US is on
the higher side, the chances of
a pre-election stimulus have
become increasingly low.
The European countries are
expected to implement curfews
more widely. France has report-
ed record cases for three con-
secutive days; the positive rate
jumped by a percent to 16 per-
cent on Friday. Italian Govern-
ment is also deliberating tight-
ening the curfew norms, which
led to anti-curfew violent pro-
tests by the public. The United
Kingdom reported the fifth con-
secutive day with daily cases
exceeding20,000;schoolsmaybe
suspended if the cases continue
the trend. The Spanish Govern-
ment is pondering over declar-
ing a national state of emergen-
cy that would allow the authori-
ties to impose stricter regula-
tions over the public. While
nearing the first-wave levels,
Belgium’s reported cases have

ost-Gupkar-II declaration and Mehboo-
ba Mufti’s remark that she won’t hold
the Indian tricolor until the Jammu and
Kashmir’s flag was restored the Central
government dealt the mainstream po-
litical leaders another blow by omitting the phrase
“permanent resident of the state” from Section 17
of Jammu and Kashmir Development Act. The
omission means that people from any part of the
country can now purchase urban land and enter
into contract farming on agricultural land. The
law also provides for setting up an industrial de-
velopment corporation and removes curbs on the
size of the area one wants to buy for constructing
a residence or a shop in the Union Territory. Till
now only those who were permanent residents
could own property there. The Lieutenant-Gover-
nor Manoj Sinha clarified that the new law will not
apply to agricultural land. This move was expected
after the abrogation of Article 370 which granted
a special status to the status. The state’s bifurca-
tion ended the privilege.
The decision has not gone down well with the
top political leaders of the Union Territory who
said that Kashmir has been put on sale. Former
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted, “Even the
tokenism of domicile has been done away with…
J&K is now up for sale & the poorer, small land-
holding owners will suffer.” Another ex-CM Me-
hbooba Mufti also condemned the new law.

INDIA AND US SCRIPT
NEW STRATEGIC TIES
ndia and America have come a long way
from the era of President Richard Nixon
and Prime Minister Indira Gandhi when
the US ordered the Seventh Fleet led by
nuclear-powered Enterprise towards the
Bay of Bengal to stop Indian troops from liberating
Bangladesh.NixonandhisNationalSecurityAdvisor
were known for their antipathy towards the Indian
prime minister. Over the years ties between the two
great democracies have been on the mend, but main-
ly under governments led by the Bharatiya Janata
Partybecauseof itspredispositiontowardsAmerica.
India and the US began mutual trust-building ef-
forts with the signing of the General Security of
Military Information Agreement (GSOMIA) in 2002
when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the prime minister.
Itwasthefirstfoundationalunderstandingbetween
the two nations. The signing of the Logistics Ex-
change Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA) in
2016 and the Communication Compatibility and
Security Agreement (COMCASA) in 2018 followed.
Tuesday’s Basic Exchange and Co-operation
Agreement (BECA), signed by the defence and for-
eign ministers of India and the US marked the
fourth foundational understanding which America
has with India. The last three agreements demon-
strate the importance of Prime Minister Narendra
Modi attaches to strategic defence ties with the US.
The strategic significance of BECA can be un-
derstood from the fact that India will now get ac-
cess to real-time access to precision data and topo-
graphical images from US military satellites.
Keeping in mind China’s expansionist policies
and the changing global security scenario, India’s
defence establishment thought it prudent to deep-
en its strategic ties with America for its security
interests and peace.

INDIAJAIPUR | THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2020
Patna: Prime Minister
Narendra Modi
slammed the Opposi-
tion and even went
ahead to term the Ma-
hagathbandan's chief
ministerial candidate,
Tejashwi Yadav, as "Yu-
vraaj of Jungleraj"
(Prince of Jungleraj). It
is important to note
that the era of former
CM and RJD founder
Lalu Prasad Yadav's
rule in the state is often
referred to as 'Jungl-
reraj' by its opponents.
"I want to know from
the people of Patna, I
want to know from the
people of Bihar, could
Bihar dream of becom-
ing an IT-hub in Jungle
Raj? Whether 'Yuvraj of
Jungle Raj', he can take
Bihar forward in the
field of IT, or in any
area of modernity," PM
Modi said at the rally
held in Patna.
The Prime Minister
attacked the RJD and
said, "Who can fulfil the
aspirations of the poor
of Bihar, this aspiration
of the middle class of
Bihar? People who
made Bihar sick, looted
Bihar, can they do this
work? Those who
thought only of their
family; Only NDA can
do it." —ANI

Bettiah:Former Con-

Gandhi said on Wednes-
day that effigies of
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi were burnt in
Punjab on Dussehra,
and not that of 'Ravan'.
He said that burning
the effigy of the Prime
Minister was sad, but
the youth are angry
with him.
Addressing an elec-
tion meeting in Val-
mikinagar, Rahul
praised Rashtriya Ja-
nata Dal leader Tejash-
wi Yadav, while target-
ing Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and Bi-
har Chief Minister Nit-
ish Kumar.
Rahul said that the
goal of lockdown and
demonetisation was
the same. He said that
in demonetisation,
Modi took money out
of your pocket and
gave it to five big indus-
trialists of the country
and during the lock-
down the business of
small and medium
scale businessmen
came to a halt while
the debts of the indus-
trialists were waived.
Raising the issue of
the new agricultural
laws, Rahul said that
effigies of 'Ravan' are
usually burnt on
Dussehra, but this
time in Punjab the effi-
gies of the Prime Min-
ister and industrialists
were burnt. He said, "It
is sad, but it is happen-
ing because the farmer
is upset, the youth is
angry."
He blamed Nitish Ku-
mar and the Prime Min-
ister for unemployment
in Bihar and in the
country, saying that
people of Bihar get jobs
in Delhi, Haryana, Pun-
jab, Bengaluru but not
in Bihar. —Agencies

Haryana Home Min-

youth who killed his
former classmate in
Ballabhgarh is a rela-

and they were responsi-
ble for dropping an FIR
against him in 2018.
Tauseef, 21, was ar-

edly killing his former

in broad daylight.
Tomar’s family alleged
Tauseef had been pres-

him and had kidnapped
her two years ago. The
police said an FIR was
registered against Tau-
seef, but was later
canceled after Nikita’s
father submitted he did
not want any further
investigation.
However, Vij allegeed
that girl’s parents were
forced to take back the
case registered against
the accused due to pres-
sure from Congress
leaders. “Accused is a

WILL NEW FINANCE SECRETARY
BE FROM THE OPEN MARKET ?

‘PMMODIDECISIVE&STRONG-WILLED’Scindia reserved his comments on former PM Manmohan Singh in whose Cabinet he has served
New Delhi: Reserving
his comments on for-
mer PM Manmohan
Singh in whose Cabinet
he has served, BJP lead-
er Jyotiraditya Scindia
chose to rather praise
PM Modi for being ‘de-
cisive, strong-willed in-
defatigable spirit to
work for the country’.
The BJP leader has
been maintaining si-
lence on his former
party. He reiterates that
he won’t speak on his
past and maintain dig-
nity by being silent on
issues pertaining to his
former party.
The drive and will
power, pledge towards
decisiveness, and to
work round the clock -
our country will be
prosperous under PM
Modi.
Scindia criticised
Congress for living in
denial and refusing to
see the writing on the
wall. He was speaking
on Congress leader
Sachin Pilot’s criticism
of BJP during his elec-
tion campaign in poll-
bound MP.
“The problem with
the Congress is the par-
ty likes to live in denial
and refuses to see the
writing on the wall and
it is only when you be-
lieve in acceptance and
reflect on your failures
and chart a course to
future success that you
move forward. BJP un-
der the leadership of
PM Modi has fulfilled
the aspirations of 130
crore Indians which is
why once again they re-
posed their faith in
Modi and in Trimurti
(PM Modi, Party chief
JP Nadda, Union home
Minister Amit Shah) as
I would like to call
them,” said Scindia.
Scindia also praised
CM Shivraj Singh
Chouhan for his zeal to
work with people. —ANI
Kamal Nath, Digvijay are real
‘Jaichands’, says Jyotiraditya
New Delhi: BJP
leader Jyotiraditya
Scindia slammed
MP’s former CMs Ka-
mal Nath and Digvi-
jay Singh for run-
ning a “corruption-
ridden” government
and playing the role
of “traitor” to the de-
mocracy.
“I cannot be a by-
stander and neither
can these legislators
to people who are a
threat to democracy
and to these 7.5 crore
people,” stated Scin-
dia.
Calling 22 MLAs
resigning together a
first of its kind of
‘historical event’ of
independent India,

SCINDIA QUES SONIA GANDHI’S SILENCE OVER ‘ITEM’ JIBE
New Delhi: Jyotiradi-
tya Scindia, who has
missed no opportunity
of slamming the Con-
gress since joining the
BJP, today criticised
party chief Sonia Gan-
dhi over her silence on
Kamal Nath’s “item”
remark that stirred a
political row in MP
ahead of the bypolls.
Imarti Devi, the wom-
an targeted by Mr
Nath, had appealed to
Sonia Gandhi for ac-
tion, questioning if
she would have con-
doned it had the re-
mark been made about
her daughter. CM
Chouhan had also
written to her on the
issue.
Asked whether Mrs
Gandhi, being a wom-
an, should have pulled
up Mr Nath, Mr Scin-
da said: “Though it is
an internal matter, I
certainly think so.
50% of the population
comprises women,
every political party
must set a standard”.
Kamal Nath, former
CM of MP and Mr
Scindia’s bitter rival,
had stepped into con-
troversy while cam-
paigning in Dabra,
where the BJP is rep-
resented by Imarti
Devi. —ANI

Mumbai: The CBI, in
its reply to a plea filed
by the sisters of late
actor Sushant Singh
Rajput to quash the
FIR against them filed
by actor Rhea
Chakraborty has said,
“The very genesis of

The Central agency
filed its reply after a
division bench of Jus-
tices S.S. Shinde and
M.S. Karnik on Tues-
day directed it to reply
to the petition filed by
Priyanka and Meetu
Singh.
Referring to the FIR
filed by Chakraborty
on September 7, the
CBI said, “The allega-
tions levelled in FIR
are mostly presump-
tive and speculative in
nature.”
Anil Kumar Yadav,
Addl. SP, said, “In view
of the present situa-
tion and order passed
SC, it was expected
from police to forward
the complaint received
from Rhea to the CBI
for necessary action.”
The reply men-
tioned, “Registration
of another FIR on the
facts and cause of ac-
tion was neither war-
ranted nor allowed un-
der law.
It is submitted that
it is correct that if al-
legations mentioned in
FIR, prima facie, do
not constitute any of-
fence against accused,
FIR can be quashed by
Constitutional courts.”

ment. Dhariwal said,
“the divisional com-
missioner has
crossed all limits and
the chief secretary
should ensure that
she does not do any
similar act in the fu-
ture.”
But there is other
side of the coin as well.
When Arushi was on a
tour of Nagaur, she re-
ceived several com-
plaints against Jodhar-
am and considering
the need for immediate
action, she handed a
charge-sheet to Jodhar-
am without delay. This
occurred after state
government, through a
special notification on
February 18, 2020, gave
powers to all divisional
commissioners to take
action under 17CC
against civil servants
in the division and
therefore, Malik’s
charge-sheet was in
line with the special
powers extended to the
DCs.
Interestingly, Jodh-
pur divisional com-
missioner Samit
Sharma has made a
record of sorts in
this matter as in the
past three months, he
has handed not just
one or two dozen,
rather three thou-
sand charge-sheets.
Jodhpur is CM’s
home division and no
one is batting an eye-
lid on Sharma’s ‘mar-
athon actions’. There-
fore, the uproar against
Arushi’s single
chargesheet has creat-
ed divisions within the
bureaucracy which is
shell shocked.
Meanwhile, it is
claimed that February
18 order is unclear and
ambiguous. All said
and done, as of now,
Arushi hasn’t received
any ‘message’ from the
CS and the chargesheet
against Jodharam
stand as it is.
Ahtesham Siddiqui
Lucknow: In what
could be termed as a
shock to BSP supre-
mo Mayawati’s Rajya
Sabha ‘dreams’, on
Wednesday five legis-
lators of her party
withdrew their sup-
port from BSP candi-
date, Ramji Gautam,
for the upper house
of the Indian Parlia-
ment. The MLAs
claimed that their
signatures, as propos-
ers for Ramji’s name
as party candidate,
had been forged. Fol-
lowing the jolt, the
rebel MLAs once
again met Samajwadi
Party (SP) chief Akh-
ilesh Yadav, fueling
speculations of them
joining the party
soon. The MLAs had
earlier met the SP
chief on Tuesday, a
meeting arranged by
MLC Udayveer Singh.
It is also being said
that two more BSP leg-
islators may follow
suit with the rebel
MLAs and join the
Akhilesh Yadav-led
party. However, no of-
ficial statement on the
matter has been issued
from either of the par-
ties yet. Rebel MLAs
Aslam Chaudhary,
Aslam Rainee, Mujta-
ba Siddiqui, Hakim
Lal Bind and Govind
Jatav held a closed-
door meeting with the
SP supremo on
Wednesday to seek
tickets from the party.
A day ago, Chaud-
hary’s wife had also
joined the SP.
The Samajwadi Par-
ty had nominated
Prakash Bajaj as an
independent candi-
date, following which
voting for one seat was
considered fixed, and
after the BSP MLAs’
withdrawal of their
names as proposers,
Bajaj’s victory was
considered almost cer-
tain. However, late in
the evening, a major
surprise sprung up
when Bajaj’s nomina-
tion was rejected
while that of BSP’s
Ramji Gautam’s nomi-
nation was termed le-
gal which has majorly
dented SP’s game plan.
The returning officer
found several discrep-
ancies in Bajaj’s nom-
ination including
wrongly spelt name
and therefore his nom-
ination was rejected.
Interestingly, al-
though the proposer’s
for BSP candidate
Ramji Gautam with-
drew their support,
BSP surprised the ‘re-
bels’ by claiming that
while the two sets have
withdrawn, its third
set is complete! Mean-
while, it is believed
that Bajaj will move
High Court in the mat-
ter, and if the court
does not entertain his
plea, then all the can-
didates, including
BSP’s Gautam, would
be elected without op-
position!
From P1
Interestingly there was
an apparent dullness in
Swarup’s body language
as well on Wednesday.
Notably,CMGehlotmade
two phone calls to the
‘relevant people’ on

ter but to no avail and it
is believed that he will
initiate the process for
appointmentof anewCS
on Thursday. Probably,
for now, Veenu Gupta
could be given the addi-
tionalchargeof CSsince
she, Usha Sharma, and
Niranjan Arya are said
tobefrontrunnerforthe
position but there is a
fair chance of a woman
being appointed CS this
time. While everyone in-
cluding state polity was
waiting for a reply from
the centre, no one had
thought of the next pro-
cess but it is believed
that principal secretary
to CM, Kuldeep Ranka
has already done his
‘homework’ in this re-
gard to be put up before
the CM.

BJP’S DOUBLE
AGENTS!
The seriousness of any
upcoming politician is
measured by the public by his
ability to get works done and
more so at the time when the
‘political environment’ is not
conducive to the politician.
Since politics is all about
survival, it would not be
wrong in the eyes of many to
make friends in the ‘opposite
side’ to get some work done
and in return provide some
information to the rival party.
Well, it appears that two
small time politicians of the
saffron party have actually
realized that ‘information’ is
key to survival and the duo
are now playing the role of
a ‘double agent’. without
fail the duo reach the BJP
headquarters where they
pay their ‘respects’ to senior
leaders and generally who
ever they come across and
after spending some time and
gathering the ‘news’ about
the party, the duo take leave
and head straight to meet a
well known Congress leader
from Jaipur where they share
the details, talk on various
topics in detail and then make
their ‘move’ of handing a few
works that they want to get
done to shine their ‘politics’.
the Congress leader, knowing
all, obliges a little and gets
the work done to keep them
in tether hooks so that they
bring more news of the rival
party!

NO ‘SHOK’ BECAUSE
OF ASHOK!
The The Rajasthan
Government has been
fighting Corona on all fronts
in an exemplary manner,
something that has been
appreciated not just by other
state governments and health
experts but Prime Minister
Narendra Modi as well. Gehlot’s
‘charsimatic’ leadership during
this critical phase has been
liked by not just his peers
but even the junior politicians
as well. During the ‘Sanwad’
program held on Monday,
where the chief minister
spoke at length with several
participants, Dr Poshwal from
Jhalwar, while praising Gehlot,
said, “Even the God knows
that there is Ashok Gehlot in
Rajasthan, hence he keeps
‘shok’ (sorrow) away from
Rajasthan and that is why the
people are assured of Corona
treatment too.”

any generations, belea-
guered by destiny and sad-
ness have hummed – “dun-
iya banana wale… kaahe
ko duniya banayi?” Teesri
Kasam flows like a river,
softly, gently bubbling over
the stones towards its final desti-
nation of the ocean.
Even as we sway with Raj Ka-
poor and Waheeda Rehman, get
caught up in their love and tender-
ness, we know the inevitable loss
in which this story will end.
As far as I am concerned this
was one of the finest performanc-
es by Raj Kapoor and Waheeda,
understated, dignified and heart
rendingly realistic. Both of them
did full justice to their characters,
of a rustic bullock cart owner and
a nautanki performer.
The film is based on Phanish-
war Nath’s short story Mare Gaye
Gulfam and surprisingly fared
poorly when released. The film
beautifully captures the rural
ethos, many shots and the play of
light remind me of Bimal Roy. The
love story of Hiraman and Hirabai
unfolds like a flower in the early
morning as the rays of the sun fall
on it. Raj Kapoor as Hiraman won
me over with his simple rustic
charm and Waheeda as Hirabai,
his wistful lover gives a remarka-
ble performance bringing a sensi-
tivity to her role and shining it
with her amazing dance perfor-
mances.
The movies and the songs flow
effortlessly together. Sajanre
Jhoot Mat Bolo, Sajanwa Bairi Ho
Gaye Hamar, Duniya Bananewale
and Pan Khaye Saiyan Humaro,
each song is a classic.
One of my favourite scenes is
when Waheeda cooks for him but
he won’t relent enough to eat. She
bares her heart to him and he
melts, sitting down to pour his
heart out when suddenly the nau-
tanki music is heard loudly out-
side! Oh! The bite of reality on the
face of Raj Kapoor! The climax
where a beautiful tragic Waheeda
says “Main bik chuki hun Hira”,
still breaks my heart. And when
a heart broken Raj Kapoor comes
back to his bullocks and raises a
whip to make them move, he
hears Waheeda’s voice “maaro
mat” and turns to look inside his
cart, which shows a receding
train carrying her away from him
through the open tarpaulin. What
a scene! And then he takes the
Teesri Kasam!

s hair is consid-
ered the ‘crown we
never take off’ its
only natural for us
to want flawless
locks. But very of-
ten we find our-
selves battling dry, rough,
dull hair or even premature
greying and baldness. So
how do we right the severe-
ly dehydrating wrong done
by the arid climate of Ra-
jasthan? By adopting 5000
year old, tried and tested,
Ayurvedic beauty regimes.
Often chemicals used in
hair products have harmful
effects on our vision, endo-
crine and nervous system,
as toxins enter our blood-
stream via dermal absorp-
tion. That’s a huge price to
pay for treatments that can
be superficial, inadequate
and temporary at best. The
Ayurvedic approach on the
other hand is fundamen-
tally holistic and 100% nat-
ural. It aims at identifying
the root cause of damage,
which is usually far be-
neath the surface.
Ayurveda identifies hair
as a byproduct of bone tis-
sue. When the quality of
nutrition available for bone
formation is compromised,
the quality of hair suffers.
Nourishing your hair and
scalp through diet, Ayurve-
dic herbs, and oils along
with stress management
will not just promote
healthy lustrous hair, but
can also support a calm,
balanced mind. Lets take a
closer look at some of these
remedies.
1.HEALTHY HAIR THROUGH
A NOURISHING DIET
The primary source of
Prana or life force comes
from the food we eat; it di-
rectly impacts our tissue
growth and cellular quality.
Certain nutrient rich foods
like organic dairy, carrots,
beets, green leafy vegeta-
bles, healthy fats like nuts,
seeds and Ghee are particu-
larly supportive of healthy
hair.
2.STRESS MANAGEMENT AND
BEAUTY SLEEP
When the body is in a
state of chronic stress (like
during a pandemic) the de-
preciative effect makes
bone tissue particularly
vulnerable by robing its nu-
tritional requirements.
Stress becomes a primary
cause of hair woes, as bone
tissue is unable to spare nu-
trition for its by-product in
question. Restful sleep and
relaxation will reduce
stress and promote opti-
mum tissue nutrition. Just
15 minutes of regular Pra-
nayama practice can radi-
cally improve our overall
wellbeing.
3.MIRACLE POTIONS OF
AYURVEDIC HERBS AND OILS
What we apply on our
scalp immediately enters
our body through dermal
absorption. So while it is a
good idea to steer clear of
toxic chemicals, it is also
important to opt for in-
tensely nourishing herbs.
The most effective Ayurve-
dic herbs for scalp and hair
are -
BRAHMI: Perhaps the
most important nervine
herb used to revitalize
brain cells and the nervous
system. It balances the
right and left hemispheres
of the brain, while improv-
ing concentration and of
course hair health.
BHRINGRAJ : the “ruler of
hair” is naturally rejuve-
nating and anti aging which
makes it control greying
and baldness. When applied
as oil on the scalp it calms
the mind and promotes
sound sleep. In many ways
it is similar to Brahmi.
AMLA – an intensely reju-
venating Ayurvedic herb
that rebuilds and maintains
new tissues leading to soft-
er, smoother hair.
HIBISCUS FLOWER - It helps
purify the blood, promoting
skin clarity and hair
growth.
FENUGREEK – a good herb-
al food to prevent hair fall
and thinning.
All of these herbs are
now commonly available
and can be mixed with
warm carrier oils like sesa-
me or coconut oil; alter-
nately readymade oil decoc-
tions can be purchased
from reliable and certified
brands.
Yogurt deserves special
mention for being a great
hair mask. Packed with nu-
trients like Riboflavin (re-
vives dull hair), Niacin
(prevents hair loss), Biotin
(restores damaged hair)
and Vitamin B12 (boosts
hair growth and keeps dan-
druff away) yogurt is a
great food for hair. Use it as
a hair pack, amplify its ben-
efits by adding powdered
herbs or simply include it
in your regular diet for
healthy hair and scalp.
The combination of a nu-
tritive diet, restful sleep,
stress free living, regular
oil massages and the strate-
gic use of Ayurvedic herbs
will support optimal physi-
cal and mental health, radi-
ant beauty and a vibrant
sense of wellness in every
aspect of your life.

FACEOFTHEDAY
JUHI GODAMBE, Influencer
YOUR
DAYHoroscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
LEO
JULY 24 - AUGUST 23
You may need to deal with
an old problem to get over
a hump. You could be
craving a connection or
mission through what you do,
experience, and learn. You might take
the time to feel, learn about, and
understand your desires and drives
rather than rush to satisfy them.
LIBRA
SEPT 24 - OCTOBER 22
You might need to take a
look at the hard issues in a
partnership so that you can
later take action to make
some important changes. Instead,
others can stir up strong feelings in
you, which can be very revealing,
leading to new goals, particularly
related to relationships.
ARIES
MAR 21 - APR 20
There can be some
difficulty keeping your cool
if you feel blocked. You can
discover strong feelings
and desires now that almost beg you
to make changes, but it may not be
clear where to begin. Avoid pushing
matters, but pay attention to what
emerges.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 - DEC 22
Your emotions and desire
nature are playing off one
another. Emotions are
strong and perhaps
disruptive, but feelings that emerge
today can be enlightening. Still, it may
be best to take your time before
jumping to conclusions. The desire to
approach something can be strong.
GEMINI
MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Networking or a friendship
stimulates all sorts of
feelings now. A former
friend or simply a strong
memory of a past situation can figure
strongly. Your feelings about a
friendship matter can be more intense
than usual, or unrest with friends and
lovers may push to the surface.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 - FEB 19
While it can be emotionally
charged at times, you may
get the chance to deal with a
problem area once and for
all. Disorder with communications or
transportation can be disruptive now,
prompting you to make important
changes and improvements. Aim to
tame impatience.
TAURUS
APR 21 - MAY 20
Feelings erupting now can
be quite revealing. This
energy pushes trouble
areas to the foreground for
handling. Emotions bubbling up to
the surface are strong and perhaps a
little surprising since they can be
based on previously buried anger or
desires.
CAPRICORN
DEC 23 - JAN 20
You might learn a lot about
something that has been
slowing you down or
tripping you up. Challeng-
ing family or home life issues could
emerge now. Pay close attention to
resentment that seems to emerge out
of nowhere. Energies run high for
home-related activities today.
VIRGO
AUG 24 - SEP 23
There can be some
animation in your inner
world today. You may very
well revisit an old topic or
strong memory that’s likely to
deepen your mood and perspective.
You might tackle tricky power
dynamics with someone. A few
projects may be put aside today.
CANCER
JUNE 22 - JULY 23
You are feeling the need
for more inspiration when
it comes to your goals.
Aim to draw upon the
strength of your feelings to be
productive and take the initiative, but
it’s not the time to make big
decisions. The need or desire to
return to an old work is strong today.
PISCES
FEB20 - MARCH 20
You’re in good shape for
sniffing out overlooked
assets, attending to
financial affairs and
valuables, and discovering ways to
boost your comfort. This transit may
very well set up the discovery of an
untapped resource. Consider that
you may be tired of the usual routine.
SCORPIO
OCT 23 - NOVEMBER 22
Your focus can be on
putting the details together,
and you can be hellbent on
resolving a problem. Going
over old ground may be the key.
There can be stronger emotional
reactions than usual, which can be
very revealing. Somethings can
dominate your life.
