Barmer district has
demanded a special
wedding gift from his
guest. A pledge
against tobacco. He
requested guests to
take oath that they
would never con-
sume tobacco and it

First India Bureau
Jaipur: In order to keep
a check on speeding ve-
hicles often causing ac-
cidents on Jaipur roads,
Night Hawks have been
installed. Investigation
of over speeding has
started on the main
roads of Jaipur which
include JLN Marg, VKI

Hawk to Jaipur Traffic
Police a few days back.
The machine is challan-
ing more than 200 vehi-
cles per day
.
The Night Hawk cam-
era works both at night
and during the day

TOP TWEETS
THE LEAKED VIDEO
OF GYANVAPI
MOSQUE AND
FOUR PETITIONERS
t is a case fit for M.
Hercule Poirot, the
Belgian detective
made famous by Aga-
tha Christie. The
case in point is that of the leaked
video recording of the Gyanvapi
mosque done by the court-ap-
pointed commission. The pur-
ported videos claiming proof of
Hindu symbols in the mosque
reached some media houses
soon after they were received by
Rekha Pathak, Manju Vyas, Sita
Sahu and Laxmi, the four wom-
en petitioners. They have now
threatened to return the survey
report. The videos were meant
for the eyes of the presiding of-
ficer only
. The petitioners insist
that they had not opened their
packets and demanded action
against the person responsible
for the leak.
The court is believed to have
received 117 requests for copies
of videos. It is not known how
many of them actually got a
copy. Besides finding out the
person who leaked the video
there is also the issue of a leaked
report being accepted by the
court.
I
ajni Bala, a
36-year-old school
teacher,waskilled
right outside her
school in Kulgam
on Tuesday. She belonged to
the minority Kashmiri Pan-
dit community
. This was the
third targeted killing in the
month of May. A Kashmiri
Pandit, Rahul Bhat, working
in the J&K administration,
was killed in his office in
Budgam district on May 12. A
policeman and a woman TV
anchor, both Muslims, also
fell to terrorists’ bullets in
May. That is not very flatter-
ing about the situation in
Jammu and Kashmir which
is under Governor’s rule even
if security forces are able to
take out terrorists in retalia-
tory actions. Pandits want
their own killings to be pre-
vented instead of police
avenging their murders.
That is no consolation for
the Pandit community which
was looking forward to a
peaceful rehabilitation in the
land of their forefathers. Af-
ter Bhat’s killing an angry
protester wanted to know if
this was the normalcy the
government talks about.
They feel like pawns in the
ongoing political game. Bhat
was one of the thousands of
Pandits who returned to their
roots under the Prime Minis-
ter’s Rehabilitation and Re-
turn Scheme of 2008. They
were provided with a high
security area for residence.
ForthePakistan-sponsored
terrorists in the Valley find-
ing a soft target like a woman
teacher or government offi-
cial is the easiest thing to do.
More such killings will un-
dermine Pandits’ trust in the
government’s assurance of
safety

needs to do a lot more to make

TARGETING RESOLVE OF
GOVERNMENT, PANDITS
For the Pakistan-sponsored
terrorists in the Valley finding a
soft target like a woman
teacher or government official
is the easiest thing to do.
More such killings will
undermine Pandits’ trust
in the government’s
assurance of safety.
Already there is a sentiment
that the BJP was doing politics
over their plight to secure votes
R
ilip Ghosh, national vice-
president of the BJP, has
been recently given organisa-
tional responsibilities in
seven states and a Union ter-
ritory even as there are ru-
mours in the Saffron camp
that the central leadership
may have done “this” in Ben-
gal to give the leadership a
free hand and enough room
to exercise their power.
Ghosh’s new assignment is
to oversee and strengthen the
party’s booth organisations
in Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar,
Manipur, Meghalaya, Assam,
Tripura and Andaman ahead
of the crucial 2024 Lok Sabha
polls. He will be functioning
as a member of the commit-
tee which will spearhead the
move. The committee also has
BJP’s national chief JP Na-
dda and general secretary (or-
ganisation) BL Santosh.
About75,000boothshavebeen
identified for the purpose.
ItmaybenotedthatGhosh’s
term as the Bengal BJP presi-
dent ended prematurely after
the “outcome” of crucial As-
sembly polls in May 2021.
A closer look though would
reveal that the BJP had
grown under Ghosh’s leader-
ship when the party’s Lok
Sabha tally rose from two in
2014 to 18 in 2019 and from
three seats in the 2016 Assem-
bly elections to 77 in the 2021
Assembly elections!
In the 2014 Lok Sabha elec-
tions, while the TMC gar-
nered 39.05% vote share,
BJP’s percentage vote share
was pegged at just 17.02%, a
gain of +10.88 per cent.
In the 2019 general elec-
tions the TMC’s vote share
went up to 43.3 per cent… up
by 3.48 per cent…but the real
newsmaker was the BJP with
a whopping vote share of 40.7
per cent up by 22.76%!
The corridors of BJP HQ in
West Bengal were then buzz-
ing with the leadership capa-
bilities of Ghosh and “final-
ly” the “Saffron might” start-
ed believing that there’s hope
for the party in West Bengal.
With that belief, the party
hadputinallitsmightintothe
crucial Assembly elections in
2021… and several TMC lead-
ers also made a beeline to join
the BJP sensing prospects for
the Saffron camp.
However, all zeal was over
by May 2, 2021 when despite a
high-octane campaign, the
BJP failed to get anywhere
closertothethree-figuremark.
It was obvious that some
heads were to roll and it
seemed all was not well in the
party’s state unit.
Trouble started way back
On July 2, 2021, when Ghosh
said he was unaware of LoP
Suvendu Adhikari’s trip to
Delhi and what transpired
between him and Amit Shah
and Harsh Vardhan.
Ghosh’s comment was
seen by political analysts as
a sign of the growing rift be-
tween two camps in the Ben-
gal BJP
, one led by Ghosh and
the other by Adhikari.
Then again in the first week
of June in 2021, Adhikari had
visited Delhi to meet Prime
MinisterNarendraModi,Amit
Shah, BJP national president
JP Nadda. Even then, Ghosh
hadsaidhewasunawareof the
trip and its reasons.
After that Delhi trip in
early June, Adhikari said he
had informed the state BJP
general-secretary, Amitava
Chakraborty
. Adhikari, how-
ever, refused to comment
when he was told about
Ghosh’s claim that he was
unaware of the former’s visit
to Delhi.
If you thought this was not
enough… sample this…
Bengal BJP’s current presi-
dent Sukanta Majumdar and
his predecessor Dilip Ghosh
on April 25, 2022 publicly trad-
ed barbs over their (political)
experience at a time when the
partyisplaguedbyinfighting.
Ghosh had even quipped
that Majumdar was new to
politics.
“Everyone begins politics
as inexperienced. When I be-
came the state president, I
had been an MP for two-and-
a-half years. I had political
experience of two-and-a-half
years. When Dilipda began,
he had experience between
six months and a year,” Ma-
jumdar told the media.
In response to Majumdar’s
jibe, Ghosh said the party
had made a “42-year-old
youth” as the state president.
“Ididn’tsay(thatMajumdar
is inexperienced), he (Majum-
dar) himself did,” Ghosh said.
“I’m always with him. Our
party has made a 42-year-old
youth the chief of a state
where we have so many MPs
and MLAs. In other parties,
one isn’t named a chief unless
he/sheisold.Theseyoungpeo-
ple will work for the party for
the next 50 years,” he added.
All this has obviously not
gone down well with the cen-
tral leadership especially at a
time when there is so much
Bengal BJP could do on
Ground Zero given the fact
that CBI is grilling TMC hon-
chos for the SSC, coal and cat-
tle scams and it was time the
Saffronpartytookoutmassive
rallies to mobilise mass opin-
ion on these issues… however,
the party is haunted by in-
fighting especially at the top.
Earlier this month, when
Shah had visited Bengal, Ma-
jumdar and Adhikari were
seen with him all along.
Ghosh was, however, invited
to specific programmes and
was not present at the dinner
party hosted by BCCI chief
Sourav Ganguly at his Beha-
la residence. BJP’s central
leadership must realise that
whatever may have happened
in the Assembly elections in
2021, but the party cannot af-
ford to take the Lok Sabha
lightly especially when it had
a good standing in 2019 and
2024 is not far away!

Will Stalin’s politics also change?
Moni Sharma
New Delhi: Although,
one may say that it is
not a major news and
that there is no need to
draw any conclusion
from this, but despite
this, the news is politi-
cally significant that
Vice President Venkai-
ah Naidu unveiled a
statue of DMK founder
M Karunanidhi in
Chennai. He had un-
veiled the 16 feet tall
statue in the premises
of Multi Super Special-
ty Government Hospi-
tal in Omandurar Es-
tate. A hundred meters
away from this place,
Karunanidhi’s statue
was earlier installed,
which was demolished
35 years ago at the time
of MG Ramachandran’s
death. In this sense, this
place and the idol have
great importance. On
this occasion, Venkaiah
Naidu also expressed
his opinion on the lan-
guage dispute and said
that no language should
be imposed on anyone.
Remember how eve-
rything that happened
in the Karunanidhi
family in the last four
years happened at the
hands of the members
of the Nehru-Gandhi
family
. When Karunani-
dhi’s statue was to be
unveiled at the DMK
headquarters in Decem-
ber 2018, MK Stalin
called Sonia Gandhi
and gathered all the op-
position leaders. Simi-
larly, when Stalin’s au-
tobiography was re-
leased in February this
year, he called Rahul
Gandhi for it. Even
when the party office
was to be inaugurated
in Delhi, he called So-
nia Gandhi. But now
suddenly he invited
Venkaiah Naidu to his
program and now po-
litical observers believe
that this move will defi-
nitely bring some
change in politics. Ven-
kaiah Naidu may also
benefit from this ‘asso-
ciation’ with Stalin as
the election of the Vice
President is also due in
the next two months.
Whatever it is, this pro-
gram is of special im-
portance politically
.

New Delhi: After the
Nav Sankalp Shivir of
the Congress in
Udaipur, three big lead-
ers have left the party.
Sunil Jakhar left the
party during the camp
itself, followed by
Hardik Patel and later
when Kapil Sibal was
nominated for Rajya
Sabha as SP candidate,
it was found that he had
left the party on 16 May
itself. Just imagine,
what a big setback it has
been for Congress as
three big leaders have
left the party within two
weeks, but the Congress
party has become so im-
mune to such setbacks
that it does not mind
such developments. In a
way, the party has be-
come ‘shock proof’. And
perhaps that is why,
there is no concern or
any thought in Con-
gress about it. The Con-
gress is not ready to ac-
cept that there is some
shortfall or deficiency
in it, due to which the
leaders are leaving.
However, the process
of leaders leaving the
Congress is not going to
stop yet and party lead-
ers are also aware of
this. After the an-
nouncement of Rajya
Sabha candidates, a
new round will begin
when some leaders will
leave the fold. Before
that, one of the leaders
who is ready to switch
sides is Kuldeep Bish-
noi. He is a MLA from
Haryana and is report-
edly in touch with the
BJP. He has already met
BJP leaders and is
ready to resign from
Congress and Vidhan
Sabha. There is even a
discussion that BJP can
field him as the third
candidate of Rajya Sab-
ha so that the game of
Congresscanbespoiled.
However, there is a de-
mand from his side that
he wants to contest his
wife Renuka Bishnoi on
a BJP ticket from his
vacant seat and wants a
guarantee of a Lok Sab-
ha seat for himself.
Navjot Singh Sidhu,
who was removed from
the post of Punjab Con-
gress President, is also
not going to stay in Con-
gress for long. Courtesy
of the Aam Aadmi Par-
ty government, looking
at the way he is being
informed in Patiala
Jail, it seems that he can
join AAP
. It is being told
that in Patiala Jail, he is
being given rosemary
tea in the morning and
chamomile tea is being
given at night. Lactose
free milk, soy milk, tofu,
nuts etc. are being given
instead of paneer in the
food. To say, this diet is
being given to him on
the recommendation of
the Medical Board made
on the order of the
court, but in reality he
had ensured these fa-
cilities for himself by
meeting Chief Minister
Bhagwant Mann even
before the Supreme
Court’s decision.
However, it is not that
hewilldecidetoleavethe
Congressimmediatelyor
while in jail. He will de-
cideonlyafterhisrelease
from jail, but before that
hiswifeandformerMLA
Navjot Kaur will contin-
ue to handle his political
work. It is believed that
he is not going to contest
the next Lok Sabha elec-
tions on a Congress tick-
etandif hedoesnotgoto
AAP
,hewillreturnhome
to BJP
, which perhaps
would be the last option
before him.
After Patel, Jakhar and Sibal, who is next for Congress?

GOVT RELEASES RS 86,912
CRORE GST DUES TO STATES
The Centre on Tuesday
released the entire
amount of Goods and
Services Tax (GST) com-
pensation payable to
States up to May 31, 2022
by releasing an amount
of Rs 86,912 crore, dip-
ping into its own coffers
beyond the Rs 25,000
crorebalanceintheGST
Compensation Fund.
The Finance Ministry
said this is being done to
assist the States in man-
aging their resources
and ensuring that their
programmes, especially
the expenditure on capi-
tal, is carried out suc-
cessfully during the fi-
nancial year.
Now, the States are
only owed compensa-
tion under the GST re-
gime for one month —
June 2022, the Ministry
noted. States had been
guaranteed a certain
level of revenue for the
first five years of the
GST regime that was
launched in 2017.
“This decision has
been taken despite the
fact that only about Rs
25,000 crore is available
in the GST Compensa-
tion Fund. The balance
is being released by the
Centre from its own re-
sources pending collec-
tion of Cess,” the Minis-
try said in a statement.
In April, the Ministry
had pegged outstanding
GST compensation dues
to States for 2021-22 at
Rs 78,704 crore, equiva-
lent to four months of
such accruals. So dues
had been remitted to
States for the eight-
month period of April
2021 till November 2021,
but had been pending
since December 2021.
Citing an inadequate
balance in the GST
Compensation Cess ac-
count, the Ministry had
said the pending
amount will be released
“as and when amount
from cess accrues in the
compensation fund”.

Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: The posts of
Collector in two dis-
tricts - Dungarpur and
Dholpur - are lying va-
cant as Dungarpur Col-
lector Shubham
Chowdhry went on ma-
ternity leave ten days
back while Dholpur
Collector RK Jaiswal
retired on May 31. Now
the state government
has to appoint new Col-
lectors in both the dis-
tricts for which there
are several contenders
and the DoP has to
make the appointment.
About 120 young IAS,
of IAS batches 2007-
2015 can be appointed
as Collectors in dis-
tricts. Of these 31 are
already posted in dis-
tricts and now selection
has to happen from the
remaining 90 officials.
Interestingly, the pro-
motee IAS officials
have a complaint that
over the past six
months, their chances
of getting appointed as
Collector have de-
creased exponentially
.
Till last December,
promotee IAS had been
appointed to 18 out of
33 districts as Collec-
tors and in the January
2022 transfer list, their
number went down to
just 10. Thereafter, in
the transfer list issued
in April, merely 8 pro-
motee IAS, as Collec-
tors, are left. Further,
with retirement of RK
Jaiswal, the number
has reduced to 7.
The complaints of
promotee IAS from
RAS may be valid at
their own place, but the
reality also remains
that these promotee
IAS have not been suc-
cessful as Collector.
Yagya Mitra Singh Deo
had to be removed from
Sikar in 8 months and
so was the case of
Chauthi Ram Meena.
Similarly, Mahesh
Chand Sharma stayed
in Bundi for 8 months,
Mohan Lal Yadav in Ka-
rauli for 9 months, Ma-
hendra Soni in Jalore
for 13 months, Vishram
Meena in Barmer for 11
months, Rajendra Vijay
in Baran for 12 months
and Rajendra Singh
Shekhawat in Karauli
for merely 90 days.
None of them was ap-
pointed Collector again
by DoP. But there has
been exceptions too,
like RK Jaiswal, who
served in Dholpur for a
record 32 months.
Another aspect of
this is that Collector In-
der Singh and Nannu-
mal Pahadia, both who
have been lodged in jail
for corruption and
bribery, were also pro-
motee IAS from RAS.
It is DoP’s discretion
to appoint Collectors in
districts and DoP has
appointed same batch
officials as Collectors
of 2-3 districts, where-
as the same batch offi-
cials are striving to be-
come IAS. It is an inter-
esting fact that 9 out of
10 officials of the 2014
batch are currently
serving as Collectors,
whereas 12 out of 10
from the 2011 batch
have been given the
chance and remaining
two are still waiting.
The same situation pre-
vails for 2012 batch
whose 2 officials, out of
9, are awaiting their ap-
pointment as Collec-
tors.
Now half a dozen
young IAS are claim-
ants to the post of Col-
lector for Dholpur and
Dungarpur and the
names of Ravindra
Goswami, Shakti Singh
Rathore, Rashmi Gup-
ta, Vijayapal Singh,
Anuprerna Kuntal and
Mahaveer Prasad Mee-
na are doing the rounds
for the coveted posts.
Young IAS and RAS promotees hope to get a share in districts!

Jaipur: Three Con-
gress candidates filed
their nominations in
the Rajya Sabha elec-
tions in a display of
‘unity”. In the joint
presence of CM Gehlot,
Sachin Pilot and PCC
Chief Dotasra, Con-
gress candidates Mukul
Wasnik, Randeep Singh
Surjewala and Pramod
Tiwari filed their nomi-
nations in the state as-
sembly wherein 90
MLAs including inde-
pendents became pro-
posers of all the three
candidates. Even as the
opposition BJP could be
seen standing united,
the ruling party also
did not lag behind. This
unity was visible from
the State Congress
Committee to the high-
est Panchayat Vidhan
Sabha of the state.
With 30 MLAs becom-
ing the proposer for
each candidate, the
Congress appears
strong and confident of
victory specially when
9 independent MLAs
are also included in the
proposer list. Interest-
ingly
, independent MLA
Sanyam Lodha, Baljeet
Yadav, Khushveer Joja-
war and Ramila Khadi-

Meanwhile, Gehlot
exuded confidence
that all 3 Congress
candidates will win.
“We are going to win
three seats. (I) don’t
know why the BJP
has played the game.
They did the same 15
years ago but had to
announce withdraw-
al of support because
the independent can-
didate got no votes,”
the CM told media
outside Assembly af-
ter Congress candi-
dates filed their pa-
pers. “From where
will they bring votes?
They want to indulge
in horse-trading.
This isn’t a good tra-
dition,” he added. 19
Congress MLAs who
had revolted against
his govt in 2020 are
also with party now.
On Congress fielding
leaders from outside
Raj, he said there is
an atmosphere of
tension in country
thus, party high com-
mand has taken a de-
cision considering all
factors.

SONIA REPOSES FAITH IN
‘RAJ WARHORSE’ GEHLOT
FOR WASNIK’S RS ENTRY
Mumbai: Cong Prez Sonia Gandhi surprised
senior party leaders in Maha by nominating rank
outsider by fielding close Maharashtra confidant
Mukul Wasnik from Rajasthan. However, insiders
say, it was all part of a well-thought-out strategy.
Those in the know say it was the only sure-shot
winning route for Wasnik. “It was Wasnik himself
who asked to be fielded from Raj on assumption
that CM Gehlot can easily ensure 2 RS candi-
dates for Congress there. Besides, Wasnik enjoys
excellent equations with Gehlot while Maha Con-
gress (44 MLAs) is besieged by Sharad Pawar’s
party, the NCP (53 MLAs),” the Congress insider
told First India. —Renni Abraham
