Jaipur (PTI): Calling
the Congress’ Bharat
Jodo Yatra a “unique
and historic” move-
ment, Rajasthan
Health Minister Par-
sadi Lal Meena has ig-
nited a row. He said
Rahul Gandhi’s march
is much bigger than
Lord Rama’s padyatra
from Ayodhya to Sri
Lanka, to which BJP
has reacted fiercely
.
Taking a jibe at Mee-
na’s statement, the
Bharatiya Janata Par-
ty (BJP) said the Con-
gress leaders had re-
sorted to “flattery” to
save their existence.
“Lord Rama had also
traveled on foot from
Ayodhya to Sri Lanka,
but now Rahul Gandhi
will walk even more,
from Kanyakumari to
Kashmir,” Meena said
in Dausa on the side-
lines of a programme
on Monday
.
The Congress had
launched its 3,500 km,
150-day Bharat Jodo
Yatra from Tamil Na-
du’s Kanyakumari on
Sept 7. The march will
cover 12 states and two
Union Territories in
about five months.
Claiming the BJP has
spoiled the atmosphere
of the country, he said
Gandhi is undertaking
the yatra to correct the
atmosphere in country
,
to restore peace and
harmony
. Such pady-
atra has not been seen
so far, he added.

works of various de-
partments and under-
takings of the state
through Geographic

the Earth’s surface. In
addition, the task of
managing and present-
ing data can also be
done from this system.
Now, all the depart-
ments will be able to
link the geospatial data
of their assets, facili-
ties, schemes and pro-

PERSPECTIVE
04
he Gujarat gov-
ernment’s affi-
davit in the
Bilkis Bano
case has shift-
ed the focus on the prema-
ture release of 11 convicts
from the state to the Cen-
tre. The affidavit filed by
the Gujarat government
in the Supreme Court on
Monday stated that the re-
mission in sentence was
allowed keeping in mind
the good behaviour of the
convicts and not in ac-
cordance with Azadi ka
Amrit Mahotsav celebra-
tions. The significant part
of the affidavit was that
the remission had the ap-
proval of the Union Home
Ministry.
Bilkis Bano was gan-
graped in Gujarat’s Ran-
dhikpur village during
the 2002 Gujarat riots.
Seven members of her
family and her three-year
old daughter were killed
by the accused in front of
her. She was pregnant at
the time and was only 21
years of age.
The Supreme Court crit-
icized the Gujarat govern-
ment for filing a reply
which lacked “application
of mind” and lacking fac-
tual statements. The re-
mission must give hope to
others committing hei-
nous crimes like this.
The Gujarat govt’s affidavit
in the Bilkis Bano case has
shifted focus on premature
release of 11 convicts from
state to Centre. The affidavit
filed by Gujarat govt in the
Supreme Court on Monday
stated that the remission
in sentence was allowed
keeping in mind good
behaviour of convicts
and not in accordance
with Azadi ka Amrit

Gujarat lesson: Every sinner has a future
or the last one week, there
was a lot of political heart-
burn over the fact that
Sourav Ganguly would not
remain the BCCI presi-
dent post Oct 18, 2022.
Criticising the party at
the Centre, Trinamool
Congress raised the issues
and said that keeping an
eye towards the 2021 cru-
cial Assembly election,
Ganguly was made the
BCCI chief in 2019. The
party, however, alleged
that after the Prince of
Calcutta “refused” to join
politics or to be precise…
refused to join “them”, he
was removed.
Ganguly, on the other
hand, recently at a Band-
han Bank event in Kolkata
said, “I have been an ad-
ministrator and I will
move on to something else.
“Whatever you do in life,
the best days are when you
played for India. I have
been president of the BCCI
and I will go on to do big-
ger things. You can’t be a
player forever, you can’t be
an administrator forever.
It’s been great doing both.
“I never believed in his-
tory but the feeling in the
past was East lacked talent
to play at that level. You
don’t become an Ambani
or Narendra Modi in one
day. You have to work for
months and years to get
there,” he further said.
Ganguly also opened up on
his experience leading the
Indian team as captain.
“It was six captains
leading the team. I stood
up for Rahul when he was
almost dropped from the
one-day side. I took their
suggestions in picking the
team. These things don’t
go unnoticed in a team en-
vironment,” he said. “It’s
not just the runs I scored.
People remember other
things. It’s what you do as
a leader for them,” said
the outgoing BCCI chief.
Roger Binny has re-
placed Sourav Ganguly,
while Ganguly is out as
the BCCI president, Jay
Shah will continue to re-
main the board’s secre-
tary. A few other changes
in the BCCI were also
made as the top brass un-
dergoes a reshuffle.
It is actually very sad to
see how politicians react
and in fact reduce the stat-
ure of global icons. Sourav
Ganguly has been one of
the finest and gifted bats-
men India has ever pro-
duced and he’s captain par
excellence. Time and
again, he had demonstrat-
ed his cricketing acumen
and lifted the team to dizzy
heights and under him we
even reached the 2003
World Cup final.
His contribution in
team building has been ex-
emplary and Sourav Gan-
guly, given his status, is
easily one of India’s
brightest icons. However,
we must resist and desist
ourselves from diminish-
ing such a person’s stature
and limit him to being a
Bengali icon. His jabar-
dast fan following across
generations and across the
nation is mind boggling.
When he was made the
captain despite the pres-
ence of greats, these politi-
cians who are today decry-
ing his departure from
BCCI never hailed the de-
cision and said that Ben-
galis were promoted. Gan-
guly was chosen because
of his prowess and acu-
men and the rest is history
.
We must remember that
a BCCI president has never
been repeated since Inde-
pendence. Since there is no
basis for the fact that some-
thing went wrong in the
corridors of power, there’s
no need to sour things un-
necessarily and demean
the stature of such icons.
WhenGangulywasmade
the board president, these
politicians who are beating
their chests today after he
is stepping down, never
hailed the decision then
saying that a Bengali was
given his due. Why didn’t
they then taint the episode
as a political one or why
didn’t they cheer the fact
thataBengaliwasmadethe
Boardpresident?Thattime
they remained silent.
Let’s not spoil the glory
and stint that the gifted
southpaw had. He was an
administrator for eight
long years, including his
stint in the CAB and later
with the BCCI. Politicians
do play their games but the
common man must be
aware of the facts and the
fiction.Equatinganymoves
with political intonations
can easily undermine the
stature of such greats.
SOURAV DADA’S
ACHIEVEMENT AS A
BCCI CHIEF
Day/Night Test
 Ganguly’s BCCI was
instrumental in hosting
the first Day/Night Test
(also called Pink Ball
Test) in the country.
Then skipper Virat Kohli’s
Team India took on Bang-
ladesh and headed for a
massive win in the Day/
Night Test which was held
at the Eden Gardens in
Kolkata in Nov 2019.
 IPL amid Covid scare
When the world was una-
ble to grasp the evolving
and fast-changing scenar-
ios after Covid-19 broke
out in 2020, the BCCI man-
aged to organise the de-
layed IPL for that year in
Dubai, where the infection
rates were far less.
 Domestic cricketers’
pay hike
After assuming the charge
of the BCCI, Ganguly had
clearly stated that his fo-
cus would be on first-class
cricket. In a significant
decision, Ganguly intro-
duced pay hikes for the
cricketers who play in the
domestic circuit.
 Appointing Rahul
Dravid as coach
Ganguly was instrumental
in convincing his former
colleague Rahul Dravid to
become the men’s team’s
head coach after his prede-
cessorRaviShastristepped
down. Also, VVS Laxman
was given the charge of the
National Cricket Academy
afterDravidquittobecome
theTeamIndiaheadcoach.
Ganguly had played an ac-
tive role in appointing Lax-
man to the NCA post as
well.
WOMEN’S IPL
Barely a few weeks ago, the
outgoing BCCI president
had announced the com-
mencement of the wom-
en’s IPL, which is likely to
begin next year. In a letter
to the state associations,
Ganguly wrote as quoted
by various media, “The
BCCI is currently working
onthemuch-awaitedWom-
en’s IPL. We are expecting
to start the first season
early next year.”
Let’s remember the glo-
rious past of such icons
forever and not attach it or
let’s not get entangled in
such episodes and let
Cricket remain Cricket.
Let’s keep our passion for
the game intact and hail
the icons in the way they
should be and let’s bleed
blue for the game that is
religion to us all… a game
that actually unites India.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
Let’s remember the
glorious past of such
icons forever and not
attach it or let’s not get
entangled in such
episodes and let Cricket
remain Cricket. Let’s
keep our passion for
the game intact and
hail the icons in the
way they should be
and let’s bleed blue for

Roger Binny has replaced Sourav Gan-
guly, while Ganguly is out as the BCCI

the board’s secretary. A few other changes
in the BCCI has also been made as the top
brass undergoes a major reshuffle.
Kapil, who was sacked as the chairman
of the National Cricket Academy after
he took up his position as the chairman
of the ICL board, insisted that he, along
with fellow former players who had
defected to the rebel league, were keen
to work with the BCCI, but couldn’t do
so because of governing body. Mohin-
der Amarnath, the former India batting
Stalwart, had called the selectors in
1989 a bunch of jokers. Mohinder who
is also known as Jimmy Amarnath, had
the most number of comebacks in his
19-year-old international career.

New Delhi: France
Minister Chrysoula
Zacharopoulou, cur-
rently on India visit,
called on Union Minis-
ter of State (Independ-
ent Charge) Dr Jitendra
Singh at North Block, to
discuss Indo-French col-
laboration in Nuclear
Energy
. She was accom-
panied by a high-level
French delegation.The
two sides discussed
ways to speed up the set-
ting up of the nuclear
power reactors at Jaita-
pur site in Ratnagiri dis-
trict of Maharashtra by
joint collaboration.
Indian Govt has al-
ready accorded ‘In-Prin-
ciple’ approval for set-
tingupsixnuclearpower
reactors of 1650 MW
each in technical coop-
eration with France
which would make it the
largest nuclear power
generating site with a to-
tal capacity of 9900 MW
as part of an umbrella
nuclear deal signed with
France in Sept 2008.
The French company
EDF last year submit-
ted to Nuclear Power
Corporation of India
Ltd its binding techno-
commercial offer to
build six European
Pressurised Reactors
(EPRs) at Jaitapur. In
May, this year, a high-
level team from EDF
visited India and held
detailed talks with
NPCIL officials.
Dr Singh assured the
France Minister that
the technical, financial
and civil nuclear liabil-
ity issues will be re-
solved at the earliest by
both the sides and well
before the scheduled

ident Emmanuel Ma-
cron in early 2023 as an-
nounced by Chrysoula

STRENGTHENING TIES
‘Will restore glory of Dholavira Lothal’
New Delhi (ANI):
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi virtually re-
viewed the progress of
the National Maritime
Heritage Complex at
Lothal in Gujarat on
Tuesday and said that
the government will
bring back the glory of
Dholavira and Lothal.
In his address via
video conferencing, PM
Modi said, “We’ll bring
back the glory of Dhola-
vira and Lothal. We’re
seeing rapid progress in
this mission. Lothal
was not only a major
trading centre of the In-
dus Valley Civilisation,
but it was also a symbol
of India’s maritime
power and prosperity.
The way in which Lo-
thal was developed as a
port city thousands of
years ago still amazes
experts.” “An industry
for the construction of
ships used to be present
thousands of years ago
in Kutch. Big ships
made in India were sold
all over the world, and
this indifference to-
wards heritage did a
great loss to the country
.
This situation needs to
change,” he added.
He cited the archaeo-
logical evidence and
stated that India was a
maritime power even
thousands of years ago.
He stressed that India
was also a major part of
major sea trade routes.
“We have archaeo-
logical evidence prov-
ing that even thousands
of years ago, India was
a maritime power and
part of major sea trade
routes... The heritage
complex being built in
Lothal will be a great
source of information
for the common man
about India’s rich mari-
time history spanning
centuries,” he said.
“The same splendour,
the same power of thou-
sands of years ago is be-
ing rekindled on this
earth. I am sure it will
become a huge centre of
attraction for tourists
from all over the world.
This complex is being
developed to welcome
thousands of tourists a
day
,” PM added.
He recalled the inci-
dents of history and said
India had relations with
allthecivilisationsof the
world and the country’s
maritime power had a
big role to play in this.
“There are numerous
stories of our history
which we were made to
forget. Ways were not
explored to preserve
them and pass them on
to the next generations.
We could have learnt so
much from those inci-
dents. India’s maritime
heritageisonesuchsub-
ject which is discussed
very little,” he said.

of the time judges are
“preoccupied” with de-
cidingtheappointments,
due to which their pri-
mary job of delivering
justice “suffers”.
The minister’s re-
marks came after he
had said at a conference
in Udaipur last month
that there is a need to
rethink the collegium
system of appoint-
ments to the higher ju-
diciary
.
“Till 1993, every
judge in India was ap-
pointed by the law min-
istry in consultation
with the Chief Justice
of India. We had very
eminent judges at that
time,” Rijiju said in re-
sponse to a question on
the process of appoint-
ment of judges.
“The Constitution is
clear about it. It says
that the President of In-
dia will appoint judges,
that means the law min-
istry will appoint judg-
es in consultation with
the Chief Justice of In-
dia,” he said.
“The Supreme Court
in 1993 defined consul-
tation as concurrence.
In no other field has
consultation been de-
fined as concurrence
but in judicial appoint-
ments,” he said, adding
that the collegium sys-
tem was expanded by
the judiciary in 1998.

KERALA HUMAN SACRIFICE CASE
Allegations of organ
mafia unfounded, says
Kochi Commissioner
Kochi (ANI): Kochi Po-

that there is no organ
mafia behind the mur-
der in the killing of two
women for Human Sac-

Kochi City Police
Commissioner CH Na-
garaju said, “Allega-
tions of organ mafia
behind the murder are
unfounded. Organ
transplantation is not
possible in unsanitary
conditions. If you think
in common sense it will
not work. It is suspected
that the main accused
Muhammed Shafi has
misled the co-accused in
this regard.” He further
said that there is techni-
cal evidence against the
accused.
“There is no indica-
tion that there are more
victims. Missing cases
are being investigated.
So far no evidence has
been found about the
link between missing
cases and human sacri-
fice cases. Several
phones have been seized
from the accused. Mu-
hammed Shafi, who is
the main accused muti-
lated the bodies. It is
done in the butcher’s
style,” Kochi Commis-
sioner said.
Meanwhile, Kochi
DCP S Sasidharan said
that the investigation is
in process and lot of sci-
entific evidence against
the accused. “There is
no evidence that the
main accused, Mu-
hammed Shafi victim-
izedmorepeopleregard-
ing human sacrifice rit-
uals. The investigation
is in progress. There is a
lot of scientific evidence
against the accused. An
investigation is under-
way into the statements
that the victim woman
Padma’s phone was de-
stroyed. DNA samples
of victim Padma’s rela-
tives were collected.
This is for the conclu-
sive evidence,” DCP
said.
Earlier on Monday,

tion Team, Kerala con-
ducted a potency test

NORMAL TIES WITH CHINA DEPEND
ON PEACE ON BORDERS: JAISHANKAR
India’s search for a “more balanced” “stable relationship” with China was severely impacted
New Delhi (ANI): Ex-
ternal Affairs Minister
S Jaishankar on Tues-
day said that peace and
tranquillity in the bor-
der areas of India and
China remain the basis
for normal relations.
Speaking at the con-
ference of the Center
for Contemporary Chi-
na Studies (CCCS) on
“China’s Foreign Policy
and International Rela-
tions in the New Era,”
Jaishankar said, “Peace
and tranquillity in the
border areas clearly re-
main the basis for nor-
mal relations. From
time to time, this has
been mischievously
conflated with the sort-
ing out of the boundary
question.” He further
said that the truth is
that the prerequisite
has been and remains
one much more modest,
and even that was
breached in 2020.
Taking to Twitter,
Jaishankar shared the
main points and said
that India’s search for a
more balanced and sta-
ble relationship with
China takes it across
multiple domains and
many options. “Given
the developments of
2020, they obviously fo-
cus on an effective de-
fence of the border. This
was notably undertaken
even in the midst of
Covid,” he added. Refer-
ring to India and China
tensions which intensi-
fied after the Galwan
valleyclash,Jaishankar
said that establishing a
way of life between New
Delhi and Beijing after
2020 is not easy. “Yet, it
is a task that cannot be
set aside. And this can
only become sustaina-
ble on the basis of three
mutuals: mutual re-
spect, mutual sensitivi-
ty and mutual interest,”
EAM added in a tweet.

Jayati Mishara
Ahmedabad: Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot
has targeted Delhi CM
Arvind Kejriwal and
termed him to be a
brother of PM Naren-
dra Modi in selling lies.
“Now a new leader Ke-
jriwl has come. He is
also like brother of
Modi ji and is no less
than him. They are the
same in speaking, mak-
ing promises and body
language. He has now
said that he will make
the country No.1. Only
Punjab has won. There
must have been some
reason for that. You
have become so arro-
gant and egoistic that
from now on you have
started talking about
making the country
number one,” Gehlot
said while interacting
with media in
Ahmedabad.
He further said, “The
kind of language Kejri-
wal is speaking, Modi’s
style is also the same.
Kejriwal has hired peo-
ple in large numbers.
They don’t have work-
ers in Gujarat. A new
trend of publicity has
been started by hiring
people. Don’t know
where the money for
this activity comes
from. If the Congress
government is formed
in Gujarat, then all Raj
schemes will be imple-
mented in Gujarat. Ke-
jriwal doesn’t stand
anywhere in front of
plans implemented in
Rajasthan. Kejriwal has
hired some people who
are busy in promotions.
Rajasthan has a long
list of welfare schemes
ranging from free medi-
cines. We are giving it
in the manifesto also.”
First India Bureau
New Delhi: Sachin Pi-
lot reached Army Cantt
in Delhi on Tuesday,
away from political con-
troversy. Pilot, who ar-
rived for his army duty
on Tuesday, shared his
photo donning the uni-
form of a Captain of the
Territorial Army on
Twitter which was
liked by a huge number
of people.
Pilot was posted in
the unit of 124 Sikh Reg-
iment in Delhi Cantt,
served for few hours. He
met the officers and
jawans of the regiment
and discussed work.
Sachin Pilot joined the
Territorial Army as a
Lieutenant in Sept 2012
while being a Union
Minister. Pilot was pro-
moted to the rank of
Captain in December
last year. Notably, on
Tuesday, Pilot took the
exam for promotion in
Territorial Army
thus, he couldn’t visit
Jaipur to vote in Con-
gress President polls
cast his vote in Delhi.
Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: Young IAS
Avdhesh Meena, a 2017
batch officer, has been
put on APO in a mere
five-year-long service
and this ‘blot’ at the be-
ginning of his career is
not right. Avdhesh was
recently posted as
Commissioner in Jodh-
pur Development Au-
thority and this past
Tuesday at 4 PM, he
received his APO or-
ders, when he was
holding a meeting with
officials.
There are several ru-
mours as to why he was
put on APO suddenly. It
is said that his perfor-
mance for the past
three months in Jodh-
pur has been poor and
his approach has been
lethargic towards
work. Moreover, it is
also claimed that he
did not use to answer
the phone calls of Con-
gress legislators and
workers alike. Word is
that he did not even
pay any attention to a
powerful and senior
Congress leader and
when this leader com-
plained to CM about
this, it was on CMO’s
direction that DoP put
Avdhesh Meena on
APO. The action was so
swift that even the
Principal Secretary of
UDH Department, Kun-
ji Lal Meena came to
know of the develop-
ment at 6 PM, after he
returned from a meet-
ing with CS.
Notably, Avdhesh
has been transferred
five times in the cur-
rent government. In
this, he has served as
SDO Bhinmal for 9
months, SDO Ajmer for
8 months, and 14
months as Commis-
sioner, Jaipur Munici-
pal Corporation (Herit-
age). He was posted to
Jodhpur Development
Authority merely 3
months back in July
2022.
But another side of
this coin is that on this
post of Commissioner,
Jodhpur Development
Authority, four officers
have been changed -
namely Gaurav Agraw-
al, QUZ Choudhary,
Inderjeet Yadav and
Avdhesh Meena.
According to a sen-
ior officer of the State
Government, the
young IAS officers are
unable to come to
terms with this chair,
and hence for the first
time, an RAS officer,
Navneet Kumar, a 1997
batch senior RAS, has
been handed over the
reins.
Interestingly, the en-
tire IAS lobby is sur-
prised by the State
Government’s deci-
sion.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: The countdown
has started regarding
who will be the new
DGP of the State and
take over the reins from
DGP ML Lather, who is
retiring next month.
The DoPT meeting is
also going to be held in
Delhi today to discuss
and finalise on the
name for the position of
DGP of the State.
Chief Secretary Usha
Sharma will also reach
New Delhi today to par-
ticipate in the meeting.
Word is that the names
of three prominent sen-
ior IPS officers are in
consideration for the
new Director General
of Police.
Jaipur: CM Gehlot has ap-
proved a financial provision
of Rs 50 crore for the con-
struction of Mini Secretariat
building at Sirohi district
HQs. With the construction
of this building, the offices
of various govt departments
will operate under one roof,
which will provide ease to the
common man.
Jaipur: CM Gehlot has ap-
proved a financial provision
of Rs 1 crore for the con-
struction of the first phase
of Civil Training Institute to
be opened at Daulatpura
in Jamwaramgarh tehsil of
Jaipur district. Through this
institute, the youth of the
state will be given training in
disaster management.
Jaipur: CM has approved a
budget of Rs 20 cr for STP
to be set up for disposal
waste of hospitals. STPs
will be set up at RUHS, SMS
Hospital, Janana Hospital,
Women’s Hospital Jaipur,
Mahatma Gandhi Hosp Jodh-
pur, PBM Hospital, Bikaner
Medical College, Kota.
First India Bureau
Ahmedabad: It seems
that Gehlot’s ‘magic’
has started to work in
Gujarat. During his two
day tour to Gujarat,
Congress workers put
all their strength to
make rallies and road
show which Gehlot at-
tended, a huge success.
The Jan Chetna party
was merged with Con-
gress in presence of
Party President Manub-
hai Chavda, And this is
why, Gehlot is really
recognised because of
his ‘magic’. Congress
treasurerPawanBansal

Jaipur: A BJP delega-
tion led by LoP Gulab
Chand Kataria met
Asssembly Speaker
Dr CP Joshi at his
residence, demanding
a decision on Con-
gress MLAs who re-
signed in support of
CM Ashok Gehlot.
Joshi has assured
them that a decision
will be taken soon. Ka-
taria said “If any
MLA expresses his de-
sire to accept the res-
ignation letter, then
his resignation is ac-
cepted by mere desire.
If the MLA resigns for
any other reason, only
then it should be in-
vestigated. Aa per the
rules and procedures,
the decision is taken
by the Speaker of the
Assembly, but the
matter should be ad-
dressed soon,” he
said.
Deputy LoP Rajen-
dra Rathore said,
“Congress MLAs and
ministers have sub-
mitted their resigna-
tions to CP Joshi. It
should be accepted.
Joshi has assured the
delegation that he will
prove to be an exam-
ple in parliamentary
history,” he said.
BJP President Sat-
ish Poonia said,
“Joshi has not taken
any decision. When
MLAs and ministers
have resigned, then in
what capacity are
they using govt facili-
ties like bungalows
and vehicles.”

Food Civil Supplies Minister Pratap

BJP leaders saying that people gave
mandate to BJP in LS polls but 25 MPs
are nowhere to be seen. He also said
that BJP leaders meeting Assembly
Speaker over issue of Congress legisla-
tors’ resignations was nothing less than
a drama. Khachariawas also said that
BJP talks about religion but actually the
they are descendant of Lord Ram.
Jaipur: A division bench of Justices MM Srivastava VK
Bharwani in Rajasthan HC has accepted Speaker’s application
for early hearing in disqualification notice case against Sachin
Pilot and 19 MLAs of his faction. It was said in the application
on behalf of MLA Mohan Lal Nama that due to political instabil-
ity, State’s work is being disrupted. Opposing application on
petitioner MLA PR Meena’s behalf, SLP is pending in SC, so
HC shouldn’t conduct hearing at present. HC accepted applica-
tion of Nama, listed hearing in 3rd week of Nov.
Jaipur: BJP State President
Satish Poonia on Tuesday,
reacted to Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot’s statement
on BJP leader Vasundhara
Raje. Gehlot had yesterday
said that the “injustice”
the party’s High Command
is doing with former CM
Vasundhara Raje is being
seen by everyone. Reacting
to the statement, Poonia
said he is seeing fire on a
hill, but not under his feet.
He tweeted in Rajasthani
language, “Dungar Ki Balti
Dikhe, Pagan Ki Balti Koni
Dikhe.” Poonia meant that
Gehlot does not see the
strife within his own party
but keeps talking about
the BJP.
Internal factionalism in the BJP was
visible once again on Tuesday as
former CM Vasundhara Raje was not
invited for submitting the memoran-
dum to Speaker CP Joshi while the
latter’s residence is just opposite to
Raje’s. Raje was available at her 13
Civil Lines residence. If sources are to
be believed, the leaders have adopted
silence regarding this matter but it is
doing rounds in the political corridors.
