Jaipur: The April
month’s scorching heat
feels to be that which is
experienced during the
month of June in Ra-
jasthan. The scorching
sun and heatwave have
started troubling the
masses, and besides the
day time, the night tem-
perature has also wit-
nessed a spike in recent
few days. According to
the scientists of the In-
dian Meteorological
Centre, due to the
change in the circula-
tion system, the tem-
perature will increase
further in the next few
days. In such a situa-
tion, in the month of
April itself, the temper-
ature in the state can
even cross 45 degrees.
According to the In-
dian Meteorological
Centre, there is a possi-
bility of a heatwave
with severe heat in Ra-
jasthan at present. The
heat will be most im-
pactful in western Ra-
jasthan. For the next 48
to 72 hours the heat-
wave along with the in-
tensifying heat can dis-
turb the localites in
Banswara, Bundi, Dhol-
pur, Dungarpur, Jhunj-
hunu, Barmer, Jaisalm-

According to meteor-

should be given a
chance. He said that
those working hard
should not be neglected
and such people should
be brought forward.

right definition of poli-
tics. PCC chief GS Do-

Chaudhary were
stopped by the police at
Dabok airport on Sun-
day. Both these leaders
were going to Pali to de-
mand justice in the Ji-
tendra Meghwal mur-
der case. On receiving
the information, the
police officers reached
the airport around 9 am
and stopped both these
leaders.
As soon as the infor-
mation about stopping
Chandrashekhar and
Jayant at the airport
came on social media, a
large number of their
supporters reached out-
side the airport while
raising slogans. The
police are trying to
explain by talking
to both of them.
The workers are
adamant to stay
there till the two are
released. About 12 days
ago, Chandrashekhar
had reached Barwa vil-
lage (Bali) in Pali.

Jaipur: The state gov-
ernment has removed
the Covid assistants
serving during the Co-
rona period. Since then
they have been protest-
ing at the Shaheed
Smarak in Jaipur for
three days, but so far the
government has not
talked to them.
Deputy LoP Rajendra
Rathore joined the dhar-
na of unemployed covid
workers on Sunday and
promised to support the
movement. Rathore said
that the Covid assistants
have taken care of the
patients without caring
for their lives during the
Corona period. But the
government took out an
order and made thou-
sands of assistants un-
employed in a jiffy
.
“The Chief Minister
announces something in
the Budget and actually
does something else.
BJP is with them in the
movement,” he said.

DELHI VISIT MADE
FOR A GOOD PHOTO
OPPORTUNITY
amil Nadu Chief
Minister MK Stalin
used his Delhi visit to
bring opposition par-
tiestogethertoputup
a united fight against the BJP
. He
took the initiative as the Con-
gress, which is DMK’s ally in Ta-
mil Nadu, is unable to put its
house in order. Sonia Gandhi’s
presence at the event may not
mean much as also present were
Samajwadi Party’s Akhilesh Ya-
dav, representatives of Trina-
mool Congress, Telugu Desam
Party and Sitaram Yechury (CPI-
M) --- who are averse to sharing a
political front with the Congress.
The gradual downslide in the
Congress has fuelled the ambi-
tions of regional satraps like
Mamata Banerjee who thinks
that her party can edge out the
Congress. Having burnt its fin-
gers by allying with the Con-
gress in UP Assembly elections,
even the Samajwadi Party is not
comfortable in the company of
Congress. None of the opposi-
tion parties want to see the Con-
gress in the leadership role.
TOP TWEETS
T
akistan plunged
into a constitu-
tional crisis after
Prime Minister
Imran Khan
ducked a floor test with the
help of National Assembly’s
deputy speaker who dis-
missed the no-trust motion
on the ground that it was part
of a “foreign conspiracy”
against the government. He
immediately prorogued the
House. Imran Khan, who did
not attend the Assembly, im-
mediately recommended dis-
solution of the Assemblies
and President Arif Alvi
wasted no time to order fresh
elections within 90 days. The
move by Imran Khan
stumped the opposition par-
ties who had stacked num-
bers to vote out the Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaaf party,
something which has never
happened in Pakistan’s cheq-
uered history
.
The twist in Pakistan’s po-
litical tale did not end there.
As opposition members be-
gan a dharna inside the
House, outside the Pakistan
Supreme Court took suo
motu cognizance of the dis-
solution. A special bench has
been formed and the hearing
will begin from Monday to
decide if the dissolution of
the Assembly without even a
discussion on the no-trust
motion violated the constitu-
tion. That implies that Imran
Khan is not off the hook yet.
Pakistani army establish-
ment has decided not to step
in to sort things out just yet.
There is apprehension, how-
ever, that if there is too much
of violence it could move in.
Imran has cited US inter-
ference in Pakistan’s affairs.
He alleged that the no-trust
motion was introduced a day
after a meeting in which
American officials and a Pa-
kistani senator were present.
Not many in Pakistan are
willing to buy that argument.
IMRAN DUCKS, BUT
HAS TO FACE THE SC
A special bench has
been formed and the
hearing will begin from
Monday to decide if the
dissolution of the
Assembly without even a
discussion on the no-trust
motion violated constitution.

P
KASHMIR VALLEY
WINDS OF CHANGE
ashmir, if literally translated,
means land desiccated from
water: “Ka” (the water) and
shimeera(todesiccate).Tradi-
tion says that Kashmir was
originally a lake that was
drained by the great saint of
ancient India Kashyap. It was
included in the empire of
Ashoka Maurya who is cred-
itedwiththefoundationof the
city of Srinagar around the
year 250 BC. During this peri-
od Buddhism spread in Kash-
mir and flourished under the
Kushans, but Hinduism held
itsswayintheregion.Thelast
Hindu ruler of Kashmir was
Udyan Dev but Queen Kota
Rani was the de-facto ruler of
the kingdom. The Hindu rule
in Kashmir came to an end in
1339 with her death and Mus-
lim rule was established un-
derSultanShamas-ud-dinand
his dynasty ruled the valley
for 222 years.
In 1819, Kashmir was an-
nexed by Ranjit Singh and
made a part of his Sikh em-
pire. Later Kashmir transit-
ed from British to DOGRAS
and Maharaja Hari Singh
ruled the state from 1925 to
1952. Maharaja Hari Singh
placed Kashmir under the
dominion of India by execut-
ing an Instrument of Acces-
sion on October 27, 1947. In
1956 Kashmir was integrated
into the Indian Union under
a new Constitution. However,
PoK Kashmir continued to be
under illegal occupation of
Pakistan. Kashmir was a
tourist’s paradise during the
1970’s and early 1980’s. How-
ever, tourism in Kashmir de-
clined during the late 1980’s
and 1990’s, due to terrorism
and disturbances. For years
Article 370 and Article 35A
held the erstwhile state from
achieving its true potential.
However, the Modi- Shah
plan of annulment of Article
370 and the formation of two
new union territories in 2019
has triggered the change and
stabilising with time. The
concerted effort by team Chi-
nar Corps, other security
forces and local people under
the guidance of LG has defi-
nitely stimulated the change.
The government’s recon-
struction plan for Kashmir
with an outlay of approxi-
mately Rs 24,000 crore, in the
fields of infrastructure, edu-
cation, health, civil ameni-
ties, industrial promotion,
employment and income gen-
eration seems to be working
for good. If over six lac tour-
ists pouring into valley since
2021is an indication, then
definitely the valley is wit-
nessing winds of change.
A seamless integration of
security forces and special
Indian Army initiate, the
voices unheard for decades
are finding expression in the
conversations and platforms
being provided to them at
various levels. Discussions
on future of violence-free
Kashmir with integrated
growth paradigms are re-
peated rejection of terrorism
and violence are underlining
themes of these platforms.
The incidents of glorifying a
terrorist killed by SF have
diminished. In a recent case
a lady publically applauding
Army and wishing her son to
be an Army officer only au-
thenticates the change.
Operation Sadbhavana, a
unique humane initiative un-
dertaken by Indian Army in
Kashmir to address aspira-
tions of people affected by
scrooge of terrorism, has pro-
vided succour local popula-
tion of the State and fast be-
coming a landmark scheme
for good of common people.
Be it guarding Dharohar of
Ashokas time, relentless ser-
vice during floods in 2014 or
reaching out to far flung are-
as for basic needs of water
and electricity
, access to qual-
ity education and basic
health and hygiene the work
by Indian army has been ex-
emplary. Indian Army has
established 46 Army Good-
will Schools and there is a
growing clamour from local
population for opening
schools in almost all corners
of the State. Approximately
14,000 students are currently
enrolled and close to one lakh
children have obtained pri-
mary/higher secondary lev-
els quality education in last
one and half decades of in-
surgency. Many success sto-
ries like of Shamima khatun
of Baramullah, Ifra Sheikh
of Badgam etc, now profes-
sors in the history depart-
ment of Kashmir University,
is a testimony to the positive
change, a society can experi-
ence through the window of
education. Because of these
positive changes the radical
space is shrinking and bigot-
ed ideology is beginning to
take a thorough beating.
The Kashmir valley is now
open for tourism and tourists
are absolutely safe in Kash-
mir. While interacting with
locals in Srigufwara, Shikara
operators in Dal Lake, Shop-
keepers in Badgam, Guides in
Gulmarg or students in Aru
Valley
, it emerged that people
are more interested in their
livelihood, growth and educa-
tionratherthandisturbances.

First India Bureau
New Delhi: For the last
eight years, there has
been a major discussion
in India that all the elec-
tions in the country
should be held simulta-
neously
. Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and his
party leaders have reit-
erated this point hun-
dreds of times, but in
reality no effort has
beenmadetoimplement
this idea. The example
of this is the assembly
elections of Himachal
Pradesh and Gujarat.
Both elections are held
at an interval of one
month. The Election
Commissionalsodidnot
conduct the elections of
these two states simulta-
neously
. Similarly
, elec-
tions in Haryana, Maha-
rashtra and Jharkhand
are also held at an inter-
val of one month each.
Therefore, the ques-
tion is whether this time
the elections of
Himachal Pradesh and
Gujarat will be held to-
gether? Last time i.e. in
2017, all 68 seats of
Himachal went to polls
on November 9. Exactly
amonthlater,onDecem-
ber 9, the first phase of
pollingwasheldinGuja-
rat. The second phase of
polling took place on 14
Decemberandthecount-
ing of votes took place
on 18 December. The de-
cisioninthisregardisto
be taken by the Election
Commission and does
not require the approval
of the states. If the Elec-
tion Commission wants,
Gujaratpollscanbeheld
a month earlier in No-
vember along with
Himachal Pradesh. But
it is still a mystery as to
why the EC, which talks
about holding all the
elections together, is un-
able to conduct the elec-
tions of two states si-
multaneously
.
Will HP Guj elections be held simultaneously?
ONE NATION ONE ELECTION!
HYDERABAD PUB RAID: ACTOR,
SINGER AMONG 144 DETAINED
Banjara Hills SHO suspended; singer detained was part of ‘drug-free Hyd’ drive
Hyderabad (Agen-
cies): Tollywood actor
Naga Babu’s daughter
and actor Niharika Ko-
nidela and singer Ra-
hul Sipligunj were
among 144 people de-
tained by police for par-
tying at a pub in Hy-
derabad beyond the
stipulated hours.
The pub at Radisson
Blu Hotel in posh Ban-
jara Hills was raided
around 3 am by Task
Force personnel of Hy-
derabad City Police,
who also found cocaine
and other banned sub-
stances from the prem-
ises.
Those found party-
ing also include daugh-
ter of a former Direc-
tor General of Andhra
Pradesh Police and a
son of a MP belonging
to TDP and children of
some other VIPs.
As the police found
some packets of co-
caine and after the
place was raided, some
of those partying threw
away the packets, po-
lice whisked away
those present in the
pub to the nearby Ban-
jara Hills police station
and questioned them.
Ironically, singer
and winner of Big Boss
Telugu reality show
Rahul Sipligunj, who
was among those de-
tained, was part of
“drug-free Hyderabad”
campaign launched by
the police. He sang a
song as part of the
campaign.
Those detained in-
clude 33 women and
some staff members of
the pub, which was
found violating the
rules by allowing the
party beyond permit-
ted hours.
Taking a serious
note of these viola-
tions and the police sta-
tion concerned failing
to act, Hyderabad Po-
lice Commissioner CV
Anand suspended SHO
of Banjara Hills Police
Station and issued a
charge memo to Assis-
tant Commissioner of
Police, Banjara Hills,
M Sudarshan.
New Delhi (Agen-
cies): The Delimita-
tion Commission will
visit Srinagar and
Jammu on April 4 and
5 to hear members of
the public and civil so-
ciety groups who have
submitted sugges-
tions and objections
on its draft delimita-
tion proposal for the
Union territory
.
Around 300 repre-
sentations were re-
ceived by the panel
between March 14,
when it placed its de-
limitation proposal in
the public domain,
and March 21, the last
date for people to sub-
mit objections and
suggestions.
The public hear-
ings will give a chance
to the people and
groups that have filed
objections and sug-
gestions on the pro-
posed reconfiguration
of assembly and par-
liamentary constitu-
encies in JK, to pre-
sent their arguments
before the delimita-
tion panel.
Sources said most
of the representa-
tions received by the
delimitation commis-
sion are from Jammu
(around 60), Anant-
nag (40) and Kupwara
(40). The ones from
Anantnag mostly re-
late to objections re-
garding the proposal
to redraw the Anant-
nag parliamentary
constituency to in-
clude areas from both
Jammu and Kashmir
region and rechris-
ten it as Anantnag-
Rajouri.
Not a single repre-
sentation has been
received from the two
districts of Pulwama
and Shopian, sources
told media.

“They’ve taken

But I’d like to say, in
the coming times, ‘Jai

played on loudspeak-
ers,” said Mahendra
Bhanushali while ad-
dressing the media.
Addressing the party
workers on Saturday,

the state government to
remove the loudspeak-
ers from mosques and
warned of putting loud-

New Delhi (PTI): The
Ministry of Home Af-
fairs (MHA) has written
to states with sizable
numbers of tribal popu-
lation, to set up a sepa-
rate training module to
handle crimes in tribal
areas, sources in the
government said.
The states have been
asked to set up special-
ised training centres
and at-least six to eight
week training must be
given to the cops before
posting them in police
stations in tribal areas.
The police officials
who have been posted
long in these areas
should share their expe-
riences in the training
centres about the ap-
proaches to handle
crimes in tribal areas
and training manual of
the States may also be
amended so that the po-
lice officers are made
aware of local tradi-
tions, the officials said.

Sharat K Verma
Lucknow: There is no
doubt that the cam-
paign of Modi-Yogi has
been ‘aired’ more in Ut-
tar Pradesh, in place of
the usual Modi-Shah,
both during the election
campaign and after the
results. In the wake of
the BJP’s thumping vic-
tory, it was told, in
many ways, that Amit
Shah played a big role
in the victory of Uttar
Pradesh. The risk that
Amit Shah took by tak-
ing charge of western
Uttar Pradesh and the
Braj region, amid the
anger of the Jats and
the farmers, was cer-
tainly going to turn the
tide of the UP elections.
In fact, that is exactly
from where the victory
path of BJP started. So
Shah has his place and
his role. But Yogi’s stat-
ure has increased and
he is being described as
a contender for the posi-
tion of number two in
the national politics.
But is it really so?
Has Yogi really become
the number two leader
after becoming the
Chief Minister of Uttar
Pradesh for the second
time, a feat not accom-
plished in at least the
last three decades?
Well, truth be told, it is
not so now, since he is
not even a member of
the parliamentary
board of the BJP. There
is only one Chief Minis-
ter in the Parliamenta-
ry Board, the highest
decision making body
in BJP and that is
Shivraj Singh Chou-
han. If Yogi Adityanath
is included in the Par-
liamentary Board, then
it will be a big develop-
ment, which is surely
going to increase his
stature. Notably, new
members are to be nom-
inated in the Parlia-
mentary Board in the
next few days.
At present, the BJP
Parliamentary Board
has only seven members
and except one, the rest
are ex-officio members.
The Party president, the
Prime Minister, the for-
mer Speaker, the Leader
of both the Houses and
the Organisation Gen-
eral Secretary are the
ex-officio members of
the Parliamentary
Board. In this regard,
President JP Nadda,
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi, former Presi-
dent- Rajnath Singh,
Nitin Gadkari and Amit
Shah and Organisation
General Secretary BL
Santosh are ex-officio
members. Apart from
these, only Shivraj Sin-
gh Chauhan is the only
member who is not ex-
officio. The Parliamen-
tary Board has previ-
ously had 12 members.
In this context, the posts
of five members are va-
cant. Three members -
Arun Jaitley, Sushma
Swaraj and Ananth Ku-
mar - passed away
, while
VenkaiahNaidubecame
the Vice President and
Thaawarchand Gehlot
became the Governor.
By law, as the leader
of the party in the Rajya
Sabha, Piyush Goyal
should be its member,
but the decision on this
aspect will be taken lat-
er. One woman and one
Dalit or tribal member
will get a place on the
board. Among the wom-

New Delhi: The De-
partment of Revenue’s
new roster for members
of the Central Board of
Indirect Taxes Cus-
toms (CBIC) has caused
a bit of surprise.
The surprise is
caused by the appoint-
ment of Sanjay Kumar
Agarwal (IRS
CCE:1988) as the mem-
ber in charge of compli-
ance management as
well as the supervising
authority of DG of DRI
and DG of GST Intelli-
gence - two critical posi-
tions. Previously, DRI
was under Balesh Ku-
mar.
Earlier, even though
Agarwal was appointed
as a Member of CBIC,
he was put on wait for
an assignment. Howev-
er, a month later on
31/03/2022, the govt al-
located him critical
portfolios.
Agarwal’s new port-
folios caused a change
in the assignments of
three members retiring
within the next six
months. DP Nagendra
and Balesh Kumar and
Sandeep Kumar will re-
tire in July, August
October respectively.
The remaining 4-6
months of their residu-
al service would be con-
sumed in familiarizing
themselves with new
subjects.
It is said that by ap-
pointing Agarwal as the
boss of all revenue in-
telligence operations,
the administration has
shown its preference
for an officer with the
maximum residual ser-
vice. This preference of
the administration in
favor of officers with
the maximum residual
service was earlier re-
flected in the appoint-
ment of Rajeev Talwar
as a member.

Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: Assembly
elections are going to be
held in Karnataka in
May next year, but be-
fore that the discussion
has intensified that As-
sembly elections can be
held later this year.
Keep in mind that As-
sembly elections are go-
ing to be held in two
states Himachal
Pradesh and Gujarat at
the end of the year.
That’s why many state
Congress leaders are
saying that elections
can be held with them
in Karnataka too. Kar-
nataka Congress Presi-
dent DK Shivakumar
has claimed that elec-
tion will be announced
on November 27. Keep
in mind that communal
politics in State is at its
peak. The row over hi-
jab is still going on. This
matter has been chal-
lenged in the SC after
the High Court’s ban on
wearing hijab in school-
college. Meanwhile, the
govt has started imple-
menting the decision of
the HC. Because of this,
the girl students had to
remove hijab during the
exams or had to skip it.
A BJP MLA has raised
another issue. He ap-
pealed to Hindus not to
eat Halal meat. The row
overhijabandhalalmeat
has increased. Only the
Congress suspect that to
take advantage of this
politics of polarisation,
polls may be pushed
ahead of time.

9. Make your car loan
A JOY RIDE
Buying
a car is a watershed
moment in one’s life. Perhaps
it is a decision in which the entire
family participates, and the opinions of
close family and friends are sought before
making a final decision. One must not
forget that even though car is an asset, but
it is also a liability till the time the loan
period is going on. Hence, one must not
choose a loan in ad-hoc manner, but
rather keep the following points
in mind when opting for
a loan.
RIGHT LOAN AMOUNT
For a car loan, remember that the
average loan amount tends to be
in the range of 75-85% of the car
value. Although funding of up to
100% is available in the market, as
a customer, you should try to keep
the loan amount as per your specific
need. This is crucial as higher funding
would lead to higher EMI and interest
paid over the period. The prudence
of identifying the right loan amount
can ensure your loan repayment is a
pleasant experience.
CHOOSE A LOAN THAT
SUITS YOUR NEEDS
Most customers tend to look at the
interest rate and other charges only
while considering a loan financer.
Some other finer points must be
considered too, such as customer
service, loan processing time, a
hassle-free process — all crucial
factors that we tend to overlook. It
is vital to remember that the key is
getting a loan within a stipulated
time. Evaluating the different rates is
advised before you take a loan. Many
websites offer easy EMI calculators.
DO NOT LIMIT YOUR CHOICES
You can avail of new car loans as well as loans
for pre-owned cars. Just because everyone you
know is buying a new car does not mean you
do the same. If you want a particular car, but
you are worried that a new car may burn a hole
in your pocket, you can then look at pre-owned
car options. The pre-owned car space is rapidly
getting more organised with easy finance avail-
able at attractive rates. Further, point to note is
that in pre-owned car, now-a-days, warranty is
also provided by Organized Car Dealers which
can further provide you comfort in owning the
same.
THE DEVIL LIES IN DETAIL
What interest rate to pay and the tenure of the
loan is key metrices to be assessed before
committing to a car loan. While a tenure of
up to 7 years is available in the market, one
must only take a car loan for a period that one
is comfortable with. Also, a crucial factor to
note while determining EMI payment for a car
loan is to check if other existing loan EMIs are
manageable for you to service. As an informed
customer, one should always check if the finan-
cier/lender is charging any foreclosure charges.
There are multiple financiers who do not charge
foreclosure after a specified period of the loan
is completed.
ARE YOU A PRE-APPROVED
CUSTOMER?
Being a healthy customer of a bank comes with
certain advantages. If you are a good customer
of your existing bank, then chances are more that
you may have a pre-approved car loan under your
name. Availing of pre-approved car loans is usually
easy and efficient with the least paperwork and
time.
A HEALTHY CREDIT SCORE =
FASTER PROCESSING
APPROVAL
Maintaining a healthy Credit Score is of utmost im-
portance; more so when you seek faster approvals
and loan processing. Having a credit score greater
than 750 helps you secure the best of terms and
speaks well of your financial fitness. Your bank
tends to trust you as a reliable borrower. It is
noteworthy that one can enjoy better interest rate
and/or a higher sanction of the loan amount, given
higher credit score.
It’s important that you
buy your car from a dealer who has
a healthy relationship with a bank that
can offer you finance deals. Car dealers have
different tie-ups with different lenders. Accurate
and complete documentation must be ensured to
have a hassle-free experience.
While availing of a car loan, make informed
decisions. Scrutinize. You can bag a customized
deal. Research thoroughly. Show up prepared so
that you are in the best position to get a best-
rate loan. Thoroughly review your options,
understand the nuances before you sign on
the dotted line.
The applicant needs to decide the car
model at first. Then the bank will provide
a maximum of the funding based on the
price of the car model. Once this is done,
the applicant will have to insure and
hypothecate the car for further safety. It
is then that the interest rate is decided
and the process of EMI is ascertained.
EMI should be paid without any failure
to ensure the car doesn’t get repossessed.
HOW TO AVAIL CAR LOAN?
 KNOW YOUR BUDGET: It is very important to know your
budget well to know what kind of car you can afford. You
should evaluate the expenses that will incur the moment you
will apply for a car loan such as car maintenance costs, car
registration cost, etc.
 PLAN THE AMOUNT TO REPAY: According to your budget,
plan the monthly instalment amount that will go into paying
back the amount.
 GET APPROVED FIRST: Just before you are ready to shop
for the car of your choice, get it approved.
 GO FOR CAR SHOPPING: This is the last step when you are
ready to shop for the car of your choice. Remember to
purchase a car that fits your budget.
 AVAIL OFFERS DISCOUNTS: Deciding upon the right
time to purchase the car especially during the year
ending and festive season can help you gain heavy
discounts as banks offer low-interest rates,
waivers on processing fees and other offers
during these times. Watch out for of-
fers and discounts during festive
seasons.
Disclaimer: This is general
information for the
readers. For a
particular car loan,
readers are
advised to
contact the
concerned
bank.
HOW DOES CAR
LOAN WORK?
Car loans can be availed
through different modes.
1) Directly visit the bank
branch. 2) Apply online
through your bank’s internet/
mobile banking portal. 3) Get the
financing through the car dealer.
The bank you choose will collect your
documents and initiate the application
processing, which includes checking your
CIBIL score, the value of the asset (vehicle),
eligibility conditions, and more, and then give a
decision on your loan application based on the
evaluation results.

POSTAL REG NO. JPC/004/2022-24
First India Bureau
Jaipur/Barmer: CM
Ashok Gehlot on Sun-
day said that police
should identify the ele-
ments involved in any
incident anywhere in
the state and take strict
action against them.
The criminal, irrespec-
tive of religion, caste
or class, should not be
spared if he is found to
be involved in the
crime, he said in a
high-level review meet-
ing of Karauli situa-
tion at CMR on Sunday
.
In Barmer, CM Ge-
hlot blamed the poli-
cies of the Centre and
the BJP for the tension
in the name of caste
and religion in the
country and targeted
the BJP and the Yogi
govt. Gehlot attributed
the mobilization on re-
ligious grounds behind
the Karauli and Bea-
war incidents.
Gehlot said that PM
should appeal that po-
larization in the name
of caste and religion is
not right. “Because of
this, there is tension
everywhere in the
country. The Karauli
incident is in front of
you. Today there was a
fight in Beawar over a
small matter and one
person was murdered,”
he said.
“Hardcore criminals
should be identified at
every police station
level and strict action
shouldbetakenagainst
them. Create an atmos-
phere of peace among
different communities
with the help of CLG
and promote commu-
nity policing,” he di-
rected the officials.
CM CONCERNED OVER KARAULI-BEAWAR INCIDENTS
Identify elements harming communal harmony, take strict action: CM
CM Ashok Gehlot presides meeting with Rajendra Yadav, Ramesh Meena, Usha Sharma, ML Lather,
Abhay Kumar, Umesh Mishra, RP Mehra, Hawa Singh Ghumaria, Arti Dogra and others on Sunday.
Gehlot blames
policies of the
Centre BJP for
tension in name of
caste and religion
Use CLG and the
community
policing for peace
among different
communities, says
CM Gehlot to the
officials in meeting
at CMR on Sunday
While targeting the Yogi govt and BJP in UP,
Gehlot said, “Your approach to govern-
ance does not get attention. They do politics
only by creating perceptions.” Talking to the
media in Barmer, Gehlot said that in UP, the
bulldozer was the only election symbol. “Fake
encounters happened. This was projected as if
the CM there took a big action. It is very easy
to do fake encounters, but the country will
run when there is rule of law,” he said. Gehlot
added that innocent people could also die in a
fake encounter. The law mentions that no mat-
ter how big a criminal is, get him hanged and
punishment as per the rule of law.
YOUR APPROACH TO GOVERNANCE
DOES NOT GET ATTENTION: GEHLOT
TAKES A JIBE AT YOGI GOVT AND BJP
Mukesh Mathrani
Barmer: CM Ashok
Gehlot was on a two-
day visit to Barmer on
Sunday lashed out at
BJP and Modi govt.
Talking to a media in
Barmer, CM said that
‘Congress free’ India
will never happen, but
those chanting this,
will definitely get free.
The CM said that the
situation of the coun-
try in the Modi era is
very critical and the
people are getting be-
trayed again and again.
Gehlot said that de-
feat in an election does
not mean that Con-
gress is losing its exist-
ence. Gehlot said that
ahead of the election
of 5 states, everybody
knew that prices of
petrol and diesel will
not increase but they
were damn sure that it
will rapidly increase
soon after the elections
and now we are wit-
nessing it.
CM said that people
should now under-
stand the governance
policy of the Modi govt
as they are using the
system for their bene-
fits only. He said that
due to such policies of
the Narendra Modi
govt people are suffer-
ing from inflation.
Yogesh Sharma
Jaipur: CM Ashok Gehlot’s visit to
Barmer was special in many ways.
Known as the Gandhi of Marwar,
Gehlot is well acquainted with the
politics of Malani. In the politics
of Rajasthan, the land of Barmer
was strong, many veterans came
out from here and achieved a posi-
tion in the politics of the country
and the state. In the last assembly
elections, except for Siwana seat,
Congress had won 8 out of 9 seats
in Barmer district. Obviously, the
visit of
CM Gehlot
has shown
that the
Congress has kept its eyes on the
border area.
Gehlot’s tours have started in
the state and this can be a cause of
concern for the BJP, the main Op-
position party of the state. In the
LS elections, the Barmer-Jaisalm-
er LS seat and Jodhpur LS seat did
not come in the hands of the Con-
gress. Narendra Modi himself ad-
dressed the election meeting in
both Barmer and Jodhpur.
Barmer and Jaisalmer contrib-
uted 100% in the formation of Ge-
hlot’s govt. When a rebellion broke
out within Congress, then his sup-
porters had turned to Jaisalmer.

Replying to a question, the CM said that the BJP and
Modi government should clarify on the Coalgate
and 2G spectrum case and answer to the people of
India what happened to these cases. CM said that
the CAG who claimed about the 2G spectrum scam,
are now apologizing for it. The CM said that if people
would not understand the false strategy of BJP, the
future of this country will be worse.

RECALLING OLD MEMORIES! GEHLOT
MEETS CLASSMATE JOSHI IN BARMER
First India Bureau
Jaipur: At the begin-
ning of his address,
Gehlot said that he was
not there to deliver a
speech but to gossip.
He called Shaheen Ali
“man of the match” for
today. “Shaheen Ali’s
words tell about his
personality. He made
very good comments,
in a good tone. Earlier,
I thought he was a gul-
lible person but he is a
very smart man,” he
said. He said that he
was called anti-em-
ployee in 1998 by the
state employees and a
lot was said against
him but he always
tried to give what was
demanded by the em-
ployees. Praising the
finance dept team led
by principal secy Akh-
il Arora for preparing
an excellent budget,
Gehlot said that such
an amazing budget
could be possible be-
cause of the team and
its efforts. He said that
it was because of him
that the officers were
promoted to DIG. He
said that posts of DG
are limited therefore
posts are given by cre-
ating ex-cadre. “My
commitment is that
every person should
get promotion on time
that is why provision
of 2 DPCs was made
every year,” he said.

Gehlot once again

members in the event
at the RAS club on
Sunday. Jagdeesh
Chandra expressed
his gratitude for these
words of the CM.
However, these positive
comments of Gehlot
created a new stir in the
media and administra-
tive areas. CM equated
RHB commissioner
Pawan Arora with his
elder brother Jagdeesh
Chandra and said that
they are better than
each other and termed
them “experts in their
fields.” “Dr Manmohan
Singh was PM, Pranab
Mukherjee was the
President and Jagdeesh
(Chandra) is going
on tour with them.
He comes at 5 in the
morning and returns
with the President at
6 in the evening. Such
a person is difficult to
find. And he maintains
his standard, whether
it is Congress or BJP.
He will say that he is
with the government
and not with anyone
else, so there cannot be
any complaints. He is
with the Chief Minister
whether it is Vasund-
hara ji or Ashok Gehlot,
for him all are equal.
This is also a politics in
which he is efficient and
successful. If Jagdeesh
Chandra has any weak-
ness, it is his brother
Pawan Arora and sister
Sushma Arora. He
has great place for his
siblings in his heart and
this is also a merit for a
person that he worries
for his sister,” CM said.

HAND OVER IAS CLUB RESPONSIBILITY TO ARORA: CM TO CS
In the event, the CM praised the RAS club. He suggested CS Usha Sharma to
hand over the responsibility of the IAS club to Pawan Arora, RAS club patron.
Sharma is 3rd such CS in front of whom the CM has said that “you were left be-
hind in making IAS club”. Later, CM Gehlot, CS Sharma and RHB commissioner
Pawan Arora held separate talks about IAS club. CM wished for tea following
which Arora took the CM to the restaurant to see which Gehlot was impressed.
He liked samosa, kachori and praised Arora. Arora introduced restaurant’s chef to
Gehlot who gave him a tip of Rs 500. CM was also introduced to club’s manager
and retired RAS Surendra Udawat. Gehlot hailed tennis and badminton courts on
rooftop and asked Pawan Arora how he got the idea. Arora informed the CM that
similar rooftop sports facilities were also developed at Constitution club. Earlier,
Gehlot had told this to DB Gupta in the program of RHB at Birla Auditorium, “You
lag behind in forming a club while Pawan Arora has made a great club for RAS.
Gehlot had said the same thing to Rajiva Swarup when he was CS.
