Dusty roads to crowning glory: The making of PM Modi
Shashikant Sharma
Shimla: The spirit of
Gujarati entrepreneur-
ship was also there in
Narendra Modi. He
exercised this qual-
ity to the welfare of
people and not
for amassing wealth for
himself. Every year in
the Gaurikund of Vad-
nagar, a mega fair used
to be held to mark the
Janmashtami celebra-
tions. Narendra Modi’s
father Damodar Das
gave him Re 1 for spend-
ing in the fair. That
time, a terrible flood
had struck various
parts of the country.
Narendra Modi wanted
to help the flood vic-
tims. So, he consulted
his friends and raised
some money from them.
He also contributed
that Re 1 which his fa-
ther had given him for
the fair. Instead of visit-
ing the fair for merri-
ment, he put a tea stall
from that money and
sold tea to visitors. Af-
ter the end of the fair,
he sent the entire collec-
tion to the relief fund
for the flood victim.
This shows the spirit of
philanthropy and the
human face of Naren-
dra Modi for public wel-
fare.
Notably
, 1973 has a sig-
nificant place in Naren-
dra Modi’s political life.
There was an engineer-
ingcollegeinAhmedabad
where students had
called a strike against
the irrational raise in
messbill.Narendra,who
was 23 years old then,
also joined the protest.
The strike snowballed
into a historical mass
movement against black
marketing, corruption,

ployment. Full report on P4

paper leak case, which
was also praised by the
leader of the opposition.
“Our Government
wants more and more
youth to get jobs. In the
last three years around
1 lakh youth have been
given government jobs
and the recruitment of
around 1 lakh posts is
under process. The pa-
per leak of recruitment
examinations is not the
problem of Rajasthan
alone, rather papers of
various examinations
got leaked all over the
country including Guja-
rat, Haryana, Madhya
Pradesh and Uttar
Pradesh including Cen-
tral Government’s UGC-
NET, SSC-CGL and Ar-
my-GD. None of these

COAL SHORTAGE: GEHLOT AGAIN WRITES TO SONIA

Congress President Sonai Gandhi to get Chhattisgarh,
where Congress is in power, to speed up clearances

if the coal is not provided by Chattisgarh government,
it “might adversely reflect on the performance of the
government of Rajasthan and create a precarious situ-
ation as both states are governed by Congress”.

First India Bureau
Jaipur: In the state, the
protest against the RAS
main exam is increas-
ing continuously
.
After the change in
recruitment syllabus
across the state, there is
a demand to extend the
date of the main exami-
nation from February
25 and 26.
The same RPSC has
decided to conduct the
recruitment exam on
the predetermined date
only. Due to which pro-
tests have started.
In support of RAS
candidates, now repre-
sentatives of the oppo-
sition and ruling party
including former CM
Vasundhara Raje and
RS MP Kirori Lal Mee-
na are also demanding
the same.
Raje said that due to
change in syllabus, can-
didates should be given
time for preparation.
On the other hand,
Meena said that even in
RAS exam, government
is not doing any game
of rigging like REET.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: With the mas-
sive scam and conse-
quent hue and cry over
it still haunting state
government, Chief
Secretary Usha Shar-
ma held a meeting at
Secretariat here on
Tuesday to review prep-
arations for conducting
REET exams in a fool-
proof manner in the
future.
Sharma instructed
the officials concerned
to develop an impreg-
nable procedure for the
purpose and prepare
its framework in 8-10
days’ time. Discussions
were held on how to
conduct the exams sub-
ject-wise, keeping in-
crease in number of
posts in mind. Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot
had declared scrapping
of the REET Level-II ex-
ams held last year and
conducting them
afresh.
The Chief Minister-
had also announced
that the number of
posts has been in-
creased to 62,000 this
time. Additional Chief

POSITIVITY RATE RECORDED LESS THAN 4 PER CENT IN RAJ
A total of 1,387 fresh Covid cases
were reported in Rajasthan on Tuesday
while 12 patients died. The positiv-
ity rate was recorded less than 4 per
cent. The maximum of 369 new cases
were reported in Jaipur. Besides, three
districts did not have a single patient.
Seven districts have more than 50 cas-
es. This shows that the virus is under
control in these districts. According to
the World Health Organisation, if test
positivity rate in any area is less than 5
per cent, then infection is considered
to be under control in that place.

CONVERT WRIT TO
PIL IN KGF 2 CASE,
SAYS HIGH COURT
POWER TO PRN: UDH OPPOSES LIFTING
OF STAY, NEXT HEARING ON FEB 28
ANIL SHARMA IS
NOW HEAD OF
EWS BOARD
Jaipur: Hearing a spe-
cial appeal raising ob-
jection to some scenes
in upcoming movies
‘KGF: Chapter 2’, HC
on Tuesday disposed
of writ petition & asked
it to be converted into
a PIL. Division Bench
of CJ Akil Kureshi and
Justice Sudesh Bansal
also asked petitioner
Taslim Ahmed to
deposit an additional
copy of appeal. Law-
yers Kalim Ahmed &
Gitesh Joshi explained
that showing actors
smoking in the film
is prohibited under
COTPA.
Jaipur: HC on Tuesday held hearing of appeal to
vacate stay on providing electricity connection to
Prithviraj Nagar (PRN) area of the city. The Urban
Development and Housing (UDH) department op-
posed the plea saying if the stay would be lifted,
illegal constructions would start mushrooming in
the locality. After hearing both the sides, the Bench
of Justice Sameer Jain posted the next hearing
of the case to February 28. There are around 100
colonies in Prithviraj Nagar which have not been
regularised yet. Thousands of families staying in
the area have not been given electricity connection
so far.
Jaipur: In a technical
mistake, Anil Sharma
was made Chairman
of Public Trust Board,
& later appointed as
chairman of Rajasthan
State EWS Board.
The reason is that
earlier chairman SD
Sharma is occupying
his post. Sharma was
made chairman during
former Vasundhara
Raje govt & current
govt didn’t ask him
to step down. There
was a mistake in is-
suing the first order.
Anil Sharma, will take
charge at Ambedkar

SPIRITUAL SPEAK
You have the right to work, but never
engage in action for the sake of rewards,
nor should you long for inaction.
—Bhagavad Gita
fter Captain
Amarinder Sin-
gh, yet another
important Con-
gress leader,
former Union Law Minis-
ter Ashwini Kumar, has
resigned pointing towards
failings in the leadership.
Kumar, who was a cabinet
minister in the Manmohan
Singh government in 2012
before the coal scam con-
troversy erupted, said that
the Congress party was
“out of sync” with the na-
tion’s mood. These are not
the only two senior leaders
who have resigned from
the party in recent times.
Disillusioned by the lead-
ership of brother-sister
duo of Rahul Gandhi and
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra,
Jyotiraditya Scindia, RPN
Singh, Jitin Prasada, Sush-
mitaDev,PriyankaChatur-
vedi and Lalitesh Tripathi
had left the party earlier.
The Sonia Gandhi loyalist
must have been truly “de-
nuded of dignity”, or else
he wouldn’t have snapped
his ties. Even Amarinder
Singh had felt humiliated
before parting ways with
the Gandhis.
Another senior leader
Manish Tiwari was also
shown his place when the
party decided not to make
him part of the star cam-
paigners team in Punjab.
Tiwari retorted to the snub
by saying that made a star
campaignerhewould“have
been pleasantly surprised”
if he was made a star cam-
paigner. Tiwari, being a
prominent member of the
group of 23 leaders who de-
manded transparent organ-
isational elections in the
party
, is obviously a pariah.
ButAshwiniKumardefend-
ed the Gandhis from G-23
attack. For him to go con-
firms the rot in the party
.
AshwiniKumarsummed
up the situation succinctly
.
The Congress does not
promise a “transformative
leadership”, nor does it
“reflect national aspira-
tions”. As Rahul is not seen
as an alternative, he should
be advised to step back.
ASHWINI KUMAR QUITS,
CONG SINKS FURTHER
Kumar, who was a
cabinet minister in the
Manmohan Singh
government in 2012
before the coal scam
controversy erupted,
said that the Congress
party was “out of sync”
with the nation’s mood
A
he involvement of youth in large
numbers made universities and
colleges its epicentre. The slo-
gan which intensified the pro-
test was - Sach ka naam bagawat
hai to hum sab baghi hain….Jai
Prakash Zindabad….Sampoor-
na Kranti Zindabad. The move-
ment soon came out of the walls
of universities and colleges and
engulfed the entire state. The
intensity was such that the elect-
ed Congress government of Chi-
man Bhai Patel got uprooted.
The movement also sent shivers
to Indira Gandhi government at
the Centre. This was the victory
of youth and of course the tri-
umph of young Narendra. The
election which followed this
movement saw the emergence of
a non-Congress government in
Gujarat in the form of Janta
Morcha. Babu Jayesh Bhai Patel
became the Chief Minister.
Subsequently
, the Navnirman
movementsetthetoneforamajor
political uprising against the
Congress government. Following
the change of guard in Gujarat, a
political shake-up was waiting in
the wings. On June 12, 1975, Jus-
tice Jagmohan Lal Sinha of Alla-
habadHighCourtinvalidatedthe
election of Indira Gandhi as the
Member of Parliament from Rai
Bareli.ThecourtfoundthePrime
Minister guilty on the charge of
misuse of government machin-
ery for her election campaign.
IndiraGandhichallengedthever-
dict of the High Court in the Su-
preme Court, which didn’t give
much relief to the Prime Minis-
ter. Eventually
, to save her posi-
tion on June 25, 1975, Indira Gan-
dhideclaredanEmergencyinthe
country
. During this period, the
fundamental rights of citizens
were suspended, there was com-
plete censorship on media and
press and no one was allowed to
utter a single word against the
government. All newspapers
were bound to get their content
checked before publishing so that
not a single sentence gets pub-
lished against Indira Gandhi and
her party
, Congress.
The government arrested all
the big leaders of the Opposition
to crush the protest. The flame of
this unrest also touched young
Narendra who evaded arrest by
disguisinghimself asaSadhuand
attimesasaSikh.Hekeptthepro-
test alive and helped Opposition
leaders with all he had at that
time.Rightfromorganizingsecret
meetings to transporting impor-
tant documents and banned mag-
azines to safe places, Narendra
was in the thick of things. Bhu-
pendrasinh Chudasama, a senior
BJPleaderof Gujaratremembers
young Narendra as a dare-devil
with a great presence of mind.
“Duringemergencydays,there
wasameetinginKashi.Narendra
Modi was one of the main organ-
izers.Wehadtoreachtherebefore
sunrise and had to leave before
sunset. After the meeting, we all
left together. Narendra Bhai was
ahead of us in a different car and
I was following him in an old car.
We saw the police patrol party on
our way
. I got frightened but Nar-
endra Bhai kept his calm and
duped the police. He first turned
the right indicator and then the
left one signalling that he would
go in the right direction and we
hadtochangeourdirectiontothe
left. That’s how we evaded the po-
lice,” he reminisced.
During the period of Emer-
gency, Modi’s father Damodar
Das used to be worried about
Narendra Modi’s whereabouts
and wanted to meet him. Naren-
dra Modi’s younger brother Pan-
kaj somehow managed to convey
the message to Narendra Modi
about his father’s wish. Modi in
the guise of a Sikh came to his
maternal uncle’s place at the Ni-
mad area in Ahmedabad to meet
his proud father Damodar Das
who was happy and satisfied
withthewayNarendraModiwas
fighting against the oppressive
Congressgovernment.Theemer-
gency gave an opportunity to
Narendra to attain a bigger role
in this movement which provid-
ed him the chance to understand
the principles of Gandhism and
socialism and see them in the
context of Sangh ideology
.
Finally, on March 21, 1977, the
Emergency ended with the onset
of the first non-Congress gov-
ernment in the country led by
Morarji Desai. His cabinet in-
cluded senior leaders of the
Sangh like Atal Bihari Vajpayee
and Lal Krishna Advani. The
young Narendra, who had
emerged as the backbone of agi-
tation against Emergency, was
given the responsibility to write
the history of Emergency in Gu-
jarat. Modi’s book ‘Sangharsh
Maa Gujarat’ became popular
and is an authentic document of
the fight against emergency
. The
book was unveiled by the then
Chief Minister, Babubhai Jash
Patel. This book is a shining
document of the darkest mo-
ment of Indian democracy. The
book became so popular that it
was later translated into Hindi
for a wider readership.

‘BABUA-BUA’ CRUMBLED UP’s
ECONOMY: HM SHAH IN AURAIYA
Auraiya (UP): Union
Home Minister Amit
Shah on Tuesday ac-
cused the Samajwadi
Party and the BSP of
crumbling the econo-
my of Uttar Pradesh
and credited Chief
Minister Yogi Adity-
anath with bringing a
turnaround in five
years in the state.
He also said the 2022
elections are for
“strengthening Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi’s hands and for
making Yogi chief
minister again”.
“SP and BSP’s
‘babua and bua” both
had crumbled the
economy of such a big
state as Uttar Pradesh,
the economic system
was on the seventh
spot in the country
which was brought to
second spot by Yogiji
in five years. Give an-
other chance of five
years and it will be
taken to the first spot,”
Mr Shah told an elec-
tion meeting.
Claiming success on
the law and order front
under the Yogi Adity-
anath government, he
asked, “Can any mafia
trouble you anywhere,
can anyone encroach
your land, play with
the honour of mothers
and sisters? Yogi ji has
ensured the migration
of mafia from Uttar
Pradesh.” “Akhilesh
Yadav had asked what
has happened (during
the five years of BJP
government), the one
who has put yellow
spectacles will see eve-
rything as pale,” he
said taking a swipe at
the SP chief.
“Yogiji has brought
down the dacoity in
your time down by by
72 per cent, loot by 62
per cent, murder by 31
per cent and rape by 50
per cent,” he said.
Continuing his at-
tack, he said, “During
the Akhilesh govern-
ment, only ‘kattas’ and
sharpnels were made in
Uttar Pradesh but now
during the BJP govern-
ment ‘goley’ (ammuni-
tion) are being made
here which will be fired
at Pakistan. This
change has come in five

ernment.” Praising

Indian Constitution
provides positive secu-
larism and all faiths
have to be recognised,
the petitioners added.
Advocate Devadatt Ka-
mat, appearing for the
petitioners, said: “The
essence of Article 25 is
that it protects the prac-
tice of faith but not a
meredisplayof religious
identity or jingoism.”
The petitioners urged
the high court to allow
“voluntary expression”.
After much wran-
gling, the hearing was
deferred till Wednesday
.
Kamat said, “When I
was in school and col-
lege I used to wear
rudraksha. It was not to
display my religious
identity
.Itwasapractice
of faith because it gave
me security
. We see
many judges and senior
lawyers wearing such
customary things. To
counter that, if some-
body wears a shawl, you
will have to show that is
it a display of religious
identity alone or is it
something more. If it is
sanctioned by Hindu-
ism, by our Vedas or
Upanishads then the
court is duty-bound to
protect it.”
“It cannot be that by
Education Act you can
curb religious beliefs.
Otherwise, it is a very
dangerous proposition.
The State will say there
is an Act and based on
that we will curb some-
body’s freedom,” Ka-
mat added.

approval for its Rs 27,513-crore transaction with
Reliance Retail Ventures Ltd. The top court on
Tuesday asked the high court to decide on allow-
ing the continuation of the proceedings. Earlier
this month, the top court had reserved its order
on the Future Group’s plea. During the hearings,
Future Retail Ltd. had told the court that the NCLT
approval required multiple steps which would take
a few months and therefore the court should allow
the process to continue.

CM Ashok Gehlot reaches residence of Congress MLA Deepender Singh Shekhawat  inquired about
his health. ‘I pray to God for speedy recovery of Shekhawat’, Gehlot said. Also seen is Balendu Singh.
From pg 1...
Even during the tenure
of the previous govern-
ment, there were paper
leaks of RAS, RJS, LDC,
Constable,SeniorTeach-
er, REET-2016 and 2018
and University of Ra-
jasthan and CBI investi-
gation was not conduct-
ed in any of these cases,
he stressed. Gehlot said
that the world was wor-
ried about Corona, but
what were his ministers
saying? “In Corona, our
Union Minister Arjun
Meghwal says sister-in-
law eat papads. Gajen-
dra Singh says to offer
coconut to Balaji. Inno-
cent people fall under
their delusion,” he said.
Gehlot said that the
Jalshakti minister is
from Rajasthan, but he
has nothing to do with
Rajasthan.
“We demanded to in-
crease the share of the
Centre in the central
plan but they did not
pay heed. PM an-
nounced to declare

GOVT CREATES VOLUNTARY
SECTOR DEVP COUNCIL
The Rajasthan government has constituted volun-
tary sector development council to take coopera-
tion of NGOs in the devp of the state. The state-level
advisory council was constituted after the approval
of CM Ashok Gehlot, who will be the council chair-
man. Primary and Secondary Education Minister,
LSG Minister, Forest Minister, Health Minister,
Water Resources Minister, Rural Development and
Panchayati Raj Minister, Women and Child Develop-
ment Minister, Planning Minister and Social Justice
Minister will be the members of council. CS Usha
Sharma will also be a member of the council which
will also have the involvement of two NGOs.
The accident with
the girl child in
Alwar was given
the name of rape
to take political
advantage. We
handed over the
Alwar case to the
CBI. Now the
government in
Delhi is theirs,
why is the CBI
not taking this
case? The girl
was not raped,
there was no evi-
dence of rape in
the organs. Still
they went on
shouting she has
been raped. Can
you imagine
what must have
happened to that
family?.
Ashok Gehlot,
Chief Minister
W
arningof apow-
er crisis in the
state,CMAshok
Gehlot has tapped Con-
gress President Sonia
Gandhi for the second
time in three months
to get Chhattisgarh to
speed up clearances
for mining coal for
power plants. Power
generation units in Raj
have an allocation of
coal from mines in
C’garh but delays in
state-level clearances
have stalled most of
them. Gehlot first
wrote to Sonia on De-
cember 1, 2021, and
then again on Febru-
ary 10. “Rajasthan
state may suffer power
crisis due to outage of
4,340 MW power plant
on the ground of non-
availability of coal”
from a block in Chhat-
tisgarh, Gehlot wrote
to his party president
in the latest letter.
This, he said, “might
adversely reflect on the
performance of govt of
Rajasthan and create a
precarious situation as
both states are gov-
erned by Congress”.
“May I request you to
kindly intervene and
advise the CM, Chattis-
garh to ensure arrang-
ing all the requisite
pending approvals” for
the coal blocks to ena-
ble Rajasthan “to start
mining activities at the
earliest to avoid a pow-
er crisis in the state in
future”, he added.
Aditi Nagar
New Delhi: IstheIndian
National Congress head-
ed for yet another
‘storm’? After having
successfully ‘silenced’ a
rebellion recently
, but
failingtoquellit,willthe
party have to do a bigger
‘damage control’ to stop
what may happen in the
near future? Highly
placed sources in the
grand-old party have
made a startling revela-
tion, one that has added
to wrinkles of high com-
mand. It has been learnt
that high command is
immensely ‘concerned’
about a ‘rebel’ leader
from Raj after High com-
mand learnt of a shock-
ing information from its
sources about the rebel
leader’s meeting with a
senior leader of Con-
gress’ arch-rival - the
BJP
. The ‘closely-knit-
ted’ and ‘relevant’ circle
of Congress is a buzz
with the word that a
meeting between the re-
bel and the BJP leader
occurredinaprimehotel
in Goa a few days back,
and the meeting went on
for nearly two hours.
Now high command’s
sourcesaretryingtofind
out about the agenda of
this meeting and their
queryrevolvesaroundif
there any discussion
aboutthepoliticalfuture
of the ‘rebel’? Was there
any discussion regard-
ing the four vacant posts
in RS in July? Or if this
meet was merely a cour-
tesy visit, which went on
for2hours,inwhichcase
perhaps High Command
can breathe easy
. High
Command is also trying
to learn if meeting be-
tween duo was a mere
coincidence because
both leaders were pre-
sent in Goa on that day
for campaigning. Now
party’s ‘trusted camps’
in Delhi, which have the
info of all this devp, are
tryingtodeducethevari-
ous possibilities arising
out of the meet!
STORM IN CONGRESS’ CUP?
Cong high command upset with a ‘rebel’ Cong
leader’s meeting with top BJP leader in Goa!
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Even though
the main aim of the po-
litical appointments
was to quell the build-
ing insecurities and
frustrations among
MLAs, it appears that
the move has not
achieved its desired
goal. This is so because
several leaders now ap-
pear to be disgruntled
over giving cabinet sta-
tus to leaders without
even being a legislator.
Highly placed sources
have revealed that few
senior MLAs and minis-
ters are miffed over the
issue while a few Chair-
man of Boards is also
not reportedly happy
over their appoint-
ments.
Interestingly, with
these developments
now there are murmurs
that RTDC Chairman
Dharmendra Rathore,
who is a hardcore Ge-
hlot loyalist and is con-

He interacted with the

this at a camp for the

For people with disa-

Jaipur: Ask any mod-

first item on their

managing a crowd of

Now add to this the vol-

bent on breaking sanity

its point across, and the
resulting picture will
not be a pretty one.

oung people,
just like every-
one else, feel
the need to go
on holiday, en-
joy them-
selves, visit
new places, shop, eat,
and be entertained.
However, there is per-
haps a deeper, more
meaningful way of
‘holidaying’ that might
serve students better
than the mere shop-
ping vacation to Dubai!
To embark on a trip
that combines life ex-
periences, character
building and adven-
ture. I remember one
such incredible so-
journ of my own that
I’d like to share to pro-
vide an example of
what I mean.
The Round Square –
a selection of schools
from across the world
that meets each year
over a Conference and
a Social Service Camp.
The idea is simple – to
discuss, deliberate, de-
bate and derive solu-
tions to some of the
world’s pressing is-
sues, particularly
from young peoples’
perspectives. While
that is the mainstay of
the Conference, the
Camp on the other
hand is much more im-
mediate, less theoreti-
cal, entirely practical.
A need is identified at
a specific place and a
group of approximate-
ly forty students, an
amalgam of a few kids
each from these inter-
national schools, gath-
ers over a month and
conducts this Social
Service Camp.
It so happened that I
had an opportunity to
be part of my school’s
Round Square Service
Camp delegation in my
eleventh grade, and
Ladakh, specifically
the town of Leh, was
identified as our base.
We were to reach
there, stay with the In-
dian Armed Forces for
a month, work as daily
wage labourers each
day and assist in the
construction of a local
school building.
Most of us took the
only Indian Airlines
flight from New Delhi
to Leh (note this was
circa 1996, pre-Private
Airlines). We could
spot the awe-inspiring,
though a dry and al-
most arid vast land-
scape of Ladakh from
our daytime flight and
made a smooth touch-
down into Leh Airport
– a rather modest
shack with a single
runway at the time.
The moment we
stepped off the plane,
we could sense a cer-
tain effort was re-
quired to breathe. As
per our on-campus
briefing, we were pre-
pared to expect lower
levels of oxygen at this
height, and without
any euphoria or obvi-
ous physical strain,
boarded the Army 1
ton Truck to our living
quarters, about four
miles from the airstrip.
That day, we were un-
der strict instructions
to stay still, not move
around too much, and
let our bodies and nat-
ural biological
rhythms acclimatize to
the local climate.
The following morn-
ing, in typical army
style, we were woken
up at the crack of
dawn. A quick shower
and a healthy if some-
what bland breakfast
later, we were dropped
off at our Construction
Point. In earnest, we
met with our team
leader, a rather stoic
looking Tony Hide, and
were shown what to do
and where. Hence be-
gan a two-week routine
of getting to the con-
struction site early
each morning, spend-
ing the day laying
bricks and cement with
our bare hands (some-
thing I dare say none
of us had ever done
previously or even con-
ceived of doing). By the
end of the day
, we’d be
all but dead; yet the
sense of achievement,
a c c o m p l i s h m e n t ,
pride, and the knowl-
edge that we were truly
contributing to local
welfare, spurred us the
following day!
Right after two
weeks, we were re-
warded with a three-
day trip to the Nubra
Valley. Crossing gla-
ciers, needing to help
in moving trucks off
the road during land-
slides, river-rafting the
highest patch on earth
from a place called Phe
to Nimmu, visiting
Chug La, the base camp
of Siachen, and con-
suming copious quan-
tities of the initially
terrible but later-com-
forting Butter Tea and
Yak Cheese at several
Buddhist Monasteries
– it was a time of much
discovery, explora-
tion, reflection, and
amazement. Memories
became an indelible
part of our collective
consciousness as we
grew more bonded as
a cohort.
Returning to Leh af-
ter our amazing adven-
tures, we had another
two weeks of hard work
at the school site. Along
with other locals, we
managed to complete
the basic structure of
this new school build-
ing, handed over the
building official to the
local administration,
bid our adieus to
Ladakh and returned to
school in Dehra Dun
just in time for the new
term to start.
One might wonder
why I considered this
rather labour-inten-
sive stint a holiday in
the first place, more
curiously, my favour-
ite vacation! That is
simply because the
combination of uncov-
ering uncharted terri-
tory, once-in-a-lifetime
experiences with the
genuinely good work
we did, is simply un-
matched by any other
holiday experience
I’ve ever had, and am
likely to! I felt, On Top
Of The World!

Traditional Ceremony wedding
Everything is not what it seems!
O
n the occasion of
Valentine’s day,
Vishal Kotian,
who is well known
for his strong personality
and on the face attitude
from Bigg Boss 15
spanned to the Royal
City to ring in the day of
love with his lady love
Payal Shetty. He gave
a sneak peek about his
journey in the Bigg
Bos house and his
love life in an exclu-
sive interview
with City First.
Vishal, why did
you choose
Jaipur to cele-
brate Valentine’s
Day with Payal?
What is so special about this
place?
“Although it’s been some
weeks since I came out of the
Bigg Boss house, I have
hardly gotten much time
to chill and relax. So I
was looking for a quick
getaway for a while
now. Jaipur came to
my mind as I wanted
to explore a new place.
Also, I am keener to visit cit-
ies with historical characters
and Jaipur is one of them.
And I always treat my love like
a queen and this place made
us feel royal. We had a fabu-
lous lunch in the gorgeous gar-
den and enjoyed watching pea-
cocks roaming around us. This
can only happen in a city like
Jaipur! Our Valentine’s Day
celebration couldn’t have been
better than this one,”
Q- Could you tell our readers
about your love story?
“There’s a saying that, under-
standing is the second name of
love. Our journey of love is
cute and simple, we met at the
Disney office, connected on In-
stagram and fell in love. But I
believe that Love is easy to do
but difficult to keep, it needs
understanding, support and
trust and Payal and me
shared this connec-
tion very well”
Q- Your outspoken
and fabricated per-
sonality created a neg-
ative image among the
housemates in Bigg Boss
15, how will you define
your negative attributes to
positive in real life?
“Everything is not what it
seems, but we see them in the
way what we are, and I don’t
care what people think of me,
but I care what I see myself as
a person, and I want to look at
myself and say that I AM
VISHAL KOTIAN. I am well
versed with a lot of good lit-
erature and culture. Bigg
house is a show, where our
positive and negative traits
were shown narratively, where
one side my Chadakya Nithi
and ballyhoo traits depicted
my competitive side, my bonds
with a few housemates showed
that I am a good human. I miss
many instances like that sug-
arcane task, Teja and my
morning dance, my bond with
Shamita, but the one which
broke my heart was when I
was waiting to re-enter as a
wildcard that time my covid
reports came positive and my
journey was put on hold but
hopefully I will complete it in
my upcoming show ‘Khatron
Ke Khiladi’
The couple reached Nazarbagh
Palace on Sunday night, soon
after celebrating Vishal’s birth-
day in Mumbai.

RAJENG/2019/77764 l Vol 3 l Issue No. 251 OUR EDITIONS: JAIPUR, AHMEDABAD, LUCKNOW & NEW DELHI www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia CORONA CATASTROPHE Rajasthan Jaipur NEW CASES 369 NEW CASES 1,387 NEW DEATHS 12 Equity indices rebounded sharply on Tuesday with the benchmark BSE sensex rising over 1,700 points led by gains across sectors amid broad-based buying. The 30-share BSE index jumped 1,736 points close at 58,142. While, NSE Nifty settled 510 points at 17,352. SENSEX REBOUNDS SHARPLY, JUMPS 1736 POINTS Actor Deep Sidhu who was out on bail in the Republic Day violence case in January last year has died in a road accident. The accident happened on the Kundli- Manesar-Palwal e-way. Sidhu was going from Delhi to Bhatinda when his car rammed a truck on Tuesday. ACTOR DEEP SIDHU, ACCUSED IN R-DAY VIOLENCE, DIES IN ACCIDENT DOWN THE MEMORY LANE… Dusty roads to crowning glory: The making of PM Modi Shashikant Sharma Shimla: The spirit of Gujarati entrepreneur- ship was also there in Narendra Modi. He exercised this qual- ity to the welfare of people and not for amassing wealth for himself. Every year in the Gaurikund of Vad- nagar, a mega fair used to be held to mark the Janmashtami celebra- tions. Narendra Modi’s father Damodar Das gave him Re 1 for spend- ing in the fair. That time, a terrible flood had struck various parts of the country. Narendra Modi wanted to help the flood vic- tims. So, he consulted his friends and raised some money from them. He also contributed that Re 1 which his fa- ther had given him for the fair. Instead of visit- ing the fair for merri- ment, he put a tea stall from that money and sold tea to visitors. Af- ter the end of the fair, he sent the entire collec- tion to the relief fund for the flood victim. This shows the spirit of philanthropy and the human face of Naren- dra Modi for public wel- fare. Notably , 1973 has a sig- nificant place in Naren- dra Modi’s political life. There was an engineer- ingcollegeinAhmedabad where students had called a strike against the irrational raise in messbill.Narendra,who was 23 years old then, also joined the protest. The strike snowballed into a historical mass movement against black marketing, corruption, highinflationandunem- ployment.

The intention of the Government is that the recruitment examina- tions are held in a time- bound manner and youth get jobs. Gehlot said, “The Constitution of the countrywasmadeinthe atmosphere of Unity in Diversity , but today both Constitution and De- mocracy are in danger. It should be a concern for all of us.

In the last three years around 1 lakh youth have been given government jobs and the recruitment of around 1 lakh posts is under process. The pa- per leak of recruitment examinations is not the problem of Rajasthan alone, rather papers of various examinations got leaked all over the country including Guja- rat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh including Cen- tral Government’s UGC- NET, SSC-CGL and Ar- my-GD. None of these cases are being investi- gated by the CBI. We should get into depth of this problem and should end this problem by findingoutthereasons,” he added.

Kumar, who was a cabinet minister in the Manmohan Singh government in 2012 before the coal scam con- troversy erupted, said that the Congress party was “out of sync” with the na- tion’s mood. These are not the only two senior leaders who have resigned from the party in recent times. Disillusioned by the lead- ership of brother-sister duo of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Jyotiraditya Scindia, RPN Singh, Jitin Prasada, Sush- mitaDev,PriyankaChatur- vedi and Lalitesh Tripathi had left the party earlier. The Sonia Gandhi loyalist must have been truly “de- nuded of dignity”, or else he wouldn’t have snapped his ties. Even Amarinder Singh had felt humiliated before parting ways with the Gandhis. Another senior leader Manish Tiwari was also shown his place when the party decided not to make him part of the star cam- paigners team in Punjab. Tiwari retorted to the snub by saying that made a star campaignerhewould“have been pleasantly surprised” if he was made a star cam- paigner. Tiwari, being a prominent member of the group of 23 leaders who de- manded transparent organ- isational elections in the party , is obviously a pariah. ButAshwiniKumardefend- ed the Gandhis from G-23 attack. For him to go con- firms the rot in the party . AshwiniKumarsummed up the situation succinctly . The Congress does not promise a “transformative leadership”, nor does it “reflect national aspira- tions”. As Rahul is not seen as an alternative, he should be advised to step back. ASHWINI KUMAR QUITS, CONG SINKS FURTHER Kumar, who was a cabinet minister in the Manmohan Singh government in 2012 before the coal scam controversy erupted, said that the Congress party was “out of sync” with the nation’s mood A he involvement of youth in large numbers made universities and colleges its epicentre. The slo- gan which intensified the pro- test was - Sach ka naam bagawat hai to hum sab baghi hain….Jai Prakash Zindabad….Sampoor- na Kranti Zindabad. The move- ment soon came out of the walls of universities and colleges and engulfed the entire state. The intensity was such that the elect- ed Congress government of Chi- man Bhai Patel got uprooted. The movement also sent shivers to Indira Gandhi government at the Centre. This was the victory of youth and of course the tri- umph of young Narendra. The election which followed this movement saw the emergence of a non-Congress government in Gujarat in the form of Janta Morcha. Babu Jayesh Bhai Patel became the Chief Minister. Subsequently , the Navnirman movementsetthetoneforamajor political uprising against the Congress government. Following the change of guard in Gujarat, a political shake-up was waiting in the wings.

Eventually , to save her posi- tion on June 25, 1975, Indira Gan- dhideclaredanEmergencyinthe country . During this period, the fundamental rights of citizens were suspended, there was com- plete censorship on media and press and no one was allowed to utter a single word against the government. All newspapers were bound to get their content checked before publishing so that not a single sentence gets pub- lished against Indira Gandhi and her party , Congress. The government arrested all the big leaders of the Opposition to crush the protest. The flame of this unrest also touched young Narendra who evaded arrest by disguisinghimself asaSadhuand attimesasaSikh.Hekeptthepro- test alive and helped Opposition leaders with all he had at that time.Rightfromorganizingsecret meetings to transporting impor- tant documents and banned mag- azines to safe places, Narendra was in the thick of things. Bhu- pendrasinh Chudasama, a senior BJPleaderof Gujaratremembers young Narendra as a dare-devil with a great presence of mind. “Duringemergencydays,there wasameetinginKashi.Narendra Modi was one of the main organ- izers.Wehadtoreachtherebefore sunrise and had to leave before sunset. After the meeting, we all left together. Narendra Bhai was ahead of us in a different car and I was following him in an old car. We saw the police patrol party on our way . I got frightened but Nar- endra Bhai kept his calm and duped the police. He first turned the right indicator and then the left one signalling that he would go in the right direction and we hadtochangeourdirectiontothe left. That’s how we evaded the po- lice,” he reminisced. During the period of Emer- gency, Modi’s father Damodar Das used to be worried about Narendra Modi’s whereabouts and wanted to meet him. Naren- dra Modi’s younger brother Pan- kaj somehow managed to convey the message to Narendra Modi about his father’s wish. Modi in the guise of a Sikh came to his maternal uncle’s place at the Ni- mad area in Ahmedabad to meet his proud father Damodar Das who was happy and satisfied withthewayNarendraModiwas fighting against the oppressive Congressgovernment.Theemer- gency gave an opportunity to Narendra to attain a bigger role in this movement which provid- ed him the chance to understand the principles of Gandhism and socialism and see them in the context of Sangh ideology . Finally, on March 21, 1977, the Emergency ended with the onset of the first non-Congress gov- ernment in the country led by Morarji Desai. His cabinet in- cluded senior leaders of the Sangh like Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Lal Krishna Advani. The young Narendra, who had emerged as the backbone of agi- tation against Emergency, was given the responsibility to write the history of Emergency in Gu- jarat. Modi’s book ‘Sangharsh Maa Gujarat’ became popular and is an authentic document of the fight against emergency . The book was unveiled by the then Chief Minister, Babubhai Jash Patel. This book is a shining document of the darkest mo- ment of Indian democracy. The book became so popular that it was later translated into Hindi for a wider readership. (To be continued...)

Indian Constitution provides positive secu- larism and all faiths have to be recognised, the petitioners added. Advocate Devadatt Ka- mat, appearing for the petitioners, said: “The essence of Article 25 is that it protects the prac- tice of faith but not a meredisplayof religious identity or jingoism.” The petitioners urged the high court to allow “voluntary expression”. After much wran- gling, the hearing was deferred till Wednesday . Kamat said, “When I was in school and col- lege I used to wear rudraksha. It was not to display my religious identity .Itwasapractice of faith because it gave me security . We see many judges and senior lawyers wearing such customary things. To counter that, if some- body wears a shawl, you will have to show that is it a display of religious identity alone or is it something more. If it is sanctioned by Hindu- ism, by our Vedas or Upanishads then the court is duty-bound to protect it.” “It cannot be that by Education Act you can curb religious beliefs. Otherwise, it is a very dangerous proposition. The State will say there is an Act and based on that we will curb some- body’s freedom,” Ka- mat added. Drawing parallels from a judgment in South Africa regarding a girl being allowed to wear a nose ring, Kamat said we should celebrate if students are wearing namams or other reli- gious symbols. —Agencies Motihari (Bihar): A statue of Mahatma Gandhi, installed near the spot from where he had launched the Champaran Satyagra- ha, has been found van- dalised, triggering out- rage, the administra- tion said on Tuesday .

CS Usha Sharma will also be a member of the council which will also have the involvement of two NGOs. The accident with the girl child in Alwar was given the name of rape to take political advantage. We handed over the Alwar case to the CBI. Now the government in Delhi is theirs, why is the CBI not taking this case? The girl was not raped, there was no evi- dence of rape in the organs. Still they went on shouting she has been raped. Can you imagine what must have happened to that family?. Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister W arningof apow- er crisis in the state,CMAshok Gehlot has tapped Con- gress President Sonia Gandhi for the second time in three months to get Chhattisgarh to speed up clearances for mining coal for power plants. Power generation units in Raj have an allocation of coal from mines in C’garh but delays in state-level clearances have stalled most of them. Gehlot first wrote to Sonia on De- cember 1, 2021, and then again on Febru- ary 10. “Rajasthan state may suffer power crisis due to outage of 4,340 MW power plant on the ground of non- availability of coal” from a block in Chhat- tisgarh, Gehlot wrote to his party president in the latest letter. This, he said, “might adversely reflect on the performance of govt of Rajasthan and create a precarious situation as both states are gov- erned by Congress”. “May I request you to kindly intervene and advise the CM, Chattis- garh to ensure arrang- ing all the requisite pending approvals” for the coal blocks to ena- ble Rajasthan “to start mining activities at the earliest to avoid a pow- er crisis in the state in future”, he added. Aditi Nagar New Delhi: IstheIndian National Congress head- ed for yet another ‘storm’? After having successfully ‘silenced’ a rebellion recently , but failingtoquellit,willthe party have to do a bigger ‘damage control’ to stop what may happen in the near future? Highly placed sources in the grand-old party have made a startling revela- tion, one that has added to wrinkles of high com- mand. It has been learnt that high command is immensely ‘concerned’ about a ‘rebel’ leader from Raj after High com- mand learnt of a shock- ing information from its sources about the rebel leader’s meeting with a senior leader of Con- gress’ arch-rival - the BJP . The ‘closely-knit- ted’ and ‘relevant’ circle of Congress is a buzz with the word that a meeting between the re- bel and the BJP leader occurredinaprimehotel in Goa a few days back, and the meeting went on for nearly two hours. Now high command’s sourcesaretryingtofind out about the agenda of this meeting and their queryrevolvesaroundif there any discussion aboutthepoliticalfuture of the ‘rebel’? Was there any discussion regard- ing the four vacant posts in RS in July? Or if this meet was merely a cour- tesy visit, which went on for2hours,inwhichcase perhaps High Command can breathe easy . High Command is also trying to learn if meeting be- tween duo was a mere coincidence because both leaders were pre- sent in Goa on that day for campaigning. Now party’s ‘trusted camps’ in Delhi, which have the info of all this devp, are tryingtodeducethevari- ous possibilities arising out of the meet! STORM IN CONGRESS’ CUP? Cong high command upset with a ‘rebel’ Cong leader’s meeting with top BJP leader in Goa! First India Bureau Jaipur: Even though the main aim of the po- litical appointments was to quell the build- ing insecurities and frustrations among MLAs, it appears that the move has not achieved its desired goal. This is so because several leaders now ap- pear to be disgruntled over giving cabinet sta- tus to leaders without even being a legislator. Highly placed sources have revealed that few senior MLAs and minis- ters are miffed over the issue while a few Chair- man of Boards is also not reportedly happy over their appoint- ments. Interestingly, with these developments now there are murmurs that RTDC Chairman Dharmendra Rathore, who is a hardcore Ge- hlot loyalist and is con- sidered as a ‘high-value asset’ with the Chief Minister, maybe accord- ed cabinet minister rank. THE SIDE EFFECTS OF political appointments! Bhanwar S Charan Kota: LS Speaker Om Birla visited villages along Kota-Baran and Kota-Sultanpur high- ways and received a rousing welcome in Sul- tanpurtownonTuesday . He interacted with the disabled-elderly on the Sultanpur Agricultural Upajmandi premises. He said, “Ambulances would also be there at every healthcare centre and free medical camps would be set up in every village for eye examina- tion and ophthalmologi- cal diagnosis,” he said this at a camp for the disabled-elderly in Sul- tanpur. For people with disa- bilities, it is the respon- sibility of the village to get them registered at thedesignatedplaceand help them avail benefits of assistive devices and employment schemes. Birla extended a helping hand to an elderly, who fell from the chair while trying to greet him. He enquired about their wee-being.

Satyanarayan Sharma Jaipur: Ask any mod- ern-day manager or those handling the pub- lic administration and first item on their ‘dread list’ would be managing a crowd of hundreds, let alone thousands of people. Now add to this the vol- atility of a crowd that is bent on breaking sanity and somehow create a nuisance merely to put its point across, and the resulting picture will not be a pretty one. However, in exactly such a difficult time, Jaipur Police Commis- sioner Anand Srivasta- va has once again proved his excellent performance by mak- ing such arrangements during the massive pro- test of BJP that the situ- ation remained under control. Police had pre- pared a strong master plan to prevent the par- ty men from moving to- wards the assembly building. Barricading was done at 6 places, from BJP HQ to Assem- bly. Normal force was deployed at 1st and 2nd barricading, water can- non and Vajra vehicles were deployed at 3rd barricading while STF was deployed in front of vehicles. Additional Po- lice Commissioner Ajay Pal Lamba, DCP South Mridul Kachhawa, DCP North Paris Deshmukh, Add DCP Crime Karan Sharma, Addl DCP East Avnish Sharma, Addl DCP South BL Meena, Addl DCP West Ram Singh and other officers were deployed in the ar- rangements.

However, there is per- haps a deeper, more meaningful way of ‘holidaying’ that might serve students better than the mere shop- ping vacation to Dubai! To embark on a trip that combines life ex- periences, character building and adven- ture. I remember one such incredible so- journ of my own that I’d like to share to pro- vide an example of what I mean. The Round Square – a selection of schools from across the world that meets each year over a Conference and a Social Service Camp. The idea is simple – to discuss, deliberate, de- bate and derive solu- tions to some of the world’s pressing is- sues, particularly from young peoples’ perspectives. While that is the mainstay of the Conference, the Camp on the other hand is much more im- mediate, less theoreti- cal, entirely practical. A need is identified at a specific place and a group of approximate- ly forty students, an amalgam of a few kids each from these inter- national schools, gath- ers over a month and conducts this Social Service Camp. It so happened that I had an opportunity to be part of my school’s Round Square Service Camp delegation in my eleventh grade, and Ladakh, specifically the town of Leh, was identified as our base. We were to reach there, stay with the In- dian Armed Forces for a month, work as daily wage labourers each day and assist in the construction of a local school building. Most of us took the only Indian Airlines flight from New Delhi to Leh (note this was circa 1996, pre-Private Airlines). We could spot the awe-inspiring, though a dry and al- most arid vast land- scape of Ladakh from our daytime flight and made a smooth touch- down into Leh Airport – a rather modest shack with a single runway at the time. The moment we stepped off the plane, we could sense a cer- tain effort was re- quired to breathe. As per our on-campus briefing, we were pre- pared to expect lower levels of oxygen at this height, and without any euphoria or obvi- ous physical strain, boarded the Army 1 ton Truck to our living quarters, about four miles from the airstrip. That day, we were un- der strict instructions to stay still, not move around too much, and let our bodies and nat- ural biological rhythms acclimatize to the local climate. The following morn- ing, in typical army style, we were woken up at the crack of dawn. A quick shower and a healthy if some- what bland breakfast later, we were dropped off at our Construction Point. In earnest, we met with our team leader, a rather stoic looking Tony Hide, and were shown what to do and where. Hence be- gan a two-week routine of getting to the con- struction site early each morning, spend- ing the day laying bricks and cement with our bare hands (some- thing I dare say none of us had ever done previously or even con- ceived of doing). By the end of the day , we’d be all but dead; yet the sense of achievement, a c c o m p l i s h m e n t , pride, and the knowl- edge that we were truly contributing to local welfare, spurred us the following day! Right after two weeks, we were re- warded with a three- day trip to the Nubra Valley. Crossing gla- ciers, needing to help in moving trucks off the road during land- slides, river-rafting the highest patch on earth from a place called Phe to Nimmu, visiting Chug La, the base camp of Siachen, and con- suming copious quan- tities of the initially terrible but later-com- forting Butter Tea and Yak Cheese at several Buddhist Monasteries – it was a time of much discovery, explora- tion, reflection, and amazement. Memories became an indelible part of our collective consciousness as we grew more bonded as a cohort. Returning to Leh af- ter our amazing adven- tures, we had another two weeks of hard work at the school site. Along with other locals, we managed to complete the basic structure of this new school build- ing, handed over the building official to the local administration, bid our adieus to Ladakh and returned to school in Dehra Dun just in time for the new term to start. One might wonder why I considered this rather labour-inten- sive stint a holiday in the first place, more curiously, my favour- ite vacation! That is simply because the combination of uncov- ering uncharted terri- tory, once-in-a-lifetime experiences with the genuinely good work we did, is simply un- matched by any other holiday experience I’ve ever had, and am likely to!

O n the occasion of Valentine’s day, Vishal Kotian, who is well known for his strong personality and on the face attitude from Bigg Boss 15 spanned to the Royal City to ring in the day of love with his lady love Payal Shetty. He gave a sneak peek about his journey in the Bigg Bos house and his love life in an exclu- sive interview with City First. Vishal, why did you choose Jaipur to cele- brate Valentine’s Day with Payal? What is so special about this place? “Although it’s been some weeks since I came out of the Bigg Boss house, I have hardly gotten much time to chill and relax. So I was looking for a quick getaway for a while now. Jaipur came to my mind as I wanted to explore a new place. Also, I am keener to visit cit- ies with historical characters and Jaipur is one of them. And I always treat my love like a queen and this place made us feel royal. We had a fabu- lous lunch in the gorgeous gar- den and enjoyed watching pea- cocks roaming around us. This can only happen in a city like Jaipur! Our Valentine’s Day celebration couldn’t have been better than this one,” Q- Could you tell our readers about your love story? “There’s a saying that, under- standing is the second name of love. Our journey of love is cute and simple, we met at the Disney office, connected on In- stagram and fell in love. But I believe that Love is easy to do but difficult to keep, it needs understanding, support and trust and Payal and me shared this connec- tion very well” Q- Your outspoken and fabricated per- sonality created a neg- ative image among the housemates in Bigg Boss 15, how will you define your negative attributes to positive in real life? “Everything is not what it seems, but we see them in the way what we are, and I don’t care what people think of me, but I care what I see myself as a person, and I want to look at myself and say that I AM VISHAL KOTIAN. I am well versed with a lot of good lit- erature and culture. Bigg house is a show, where our positive and negative traits were shown narratively, where one side my Chadakya Nithi and ballyhoo traits depicted my competitive side, my bonds with a few housemates showed that I am a good human. I miss many instances like that sug- arcane task, Teja and my morning dance, my bond with Shamita, but the one which broke my heart was when I was waiting to re-enter as a wildcard that time my covid reports came positive and my journey was put on hold but hopefully I will complete it in my upcoming show ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’ The couple reached Nazarbagh Palace on Sunday night, soon after celebrating Vishal’s birth- day in Mumbai.
