BJP HAS MASTERY IN MARKETING, WE WORK
MORE, DO LESS MARKETING: GEHLOT
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Replying to the
budget appropriation
debate on Monday,
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot said that the
state budget will surely
bebroughttotheground
and budget announce-
ments will be imple-
mented. “There is no
need to doubt this. A
hundred administrative
approvals of budget an-
nouncements have been
given already
. The oppo-
sition is deliberately
speaking about how the
budget will be imple-
mented? BJP has a mas-
tery of marketing, even
if they do less work. But
we are engaged in work,
not marketing. Regard-
ing the budget, the op-
position tried to corner
us on figures. They are
trying to create a differ-
ent environment by say-
ing that the budget will
not be implemented, but
the truth is different,”
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot said. Gehlot
made several new an-
nouncements in his ap-
propriation speech
while also cornered the
BJP on various develop-
mental aspects while
countering the saffron
party’s narrative.
Leader of Opposition
(LoP) Gulab Chand Ka-
taria, who had fired
many salvos at Gehlot
and his government and
claimed that the budget-
aryannouncementswill
not see light of day
, was
also suitably ‘replied’ to
by Gehlot. The Chief
Minister advised LoP
Kataria should change
his style. Turn to P8
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot speaking in Vidhan Sabha.
I don’t know why BJP leaders are afraid of PM Modi and Amit Shah that they don’t even talk about Rajasthan’s rights.
Katariaji, you belong to the RSS cadre. Who then can turn you down? Let go of the fear and approach the Prime Minister
on the Eastern Canal issue. Vasundhara ji’s words will not carry the same weight before PM as yours, Gehlot said

Jaipur: Assembly
Speaker Dr CP Joshi on
Monday, didn’t allow
Dy LoP Rajendra
Rathore to raise the is-
sue of demolition of
‘Ram Darbar’ welcome
gate on Salasar-Sujan-
garh road in Churu dis-
trict in the House, say-
ing it was a subject per-
taining to the Centre
because the contractor
of the Centre working
on the NH, demolished
the gate. He said it was
unfortunate that the
idol of Lord Ram was
brought down while de-
molishing the gate.
“The idol of Lord
Ram was installed
there. The way it was
brought down, it is un-
fortunate. Your senti-
ments will be conveyed
to the Government of
India. This subject will
not be discussed in the
House,” the Speaker
said.
The gate was located
on a road heading to fa-
mous Salasar Balaji
temple and was de-
molished for
widening the
road from pre-
sent 2 lane to 4
lane.
Outside the
assembly, Con-
gress and BJP MLAs
targeted each other
over the issue.
PCC Chief Govind
Singh Dotasra said that
the welcome gate was
constructed by an NGO
on which there were
idols of Ram Dar-
bar made of
plaster of Paris
and were
placed on the
gate without
‘Pran Pratistha’
but it was unfortu-
nate that the idols were
not removed.
Dotasra alleged that
BJP state president and
other leaders have
made phone calls to the
priests of Salasar to
start an agitation over
the issue.
Minster Pratap Singh
Khachariyawas and
CM’s Advisor Sanyam
Lodha said widening of
the road was a project
of NHAI & the Centre
was responsible for it.
Khachariyawas said of-
ficials have been asked
to reconstruct the gate
else action would be
taken.
BJP MLA and chief
spokesperson Ramlal
Sharma said the senti-
ments of people have
been hurt the way the
idols were damaged.
RTDC Chairman
Dharmendra Rathore,
while condemning the
BJP leaders over the is-
sue said, “It is unfortu-
nate to remove Ram
Darbar along with the
gate. Speaker Dr CP
Joshi has clarified in
the Assembly
.”

First India Bureau
Jaipur: During the de-
bate on the Appropria-
tion Bill, Dy LoP Rajen-
dra Rathore said that
the number of donkeys
and camels is continu-
ously decreasing in the
state. It is also a coinci-
dence that in UP, Pun-
jab, Manipur, Uttara-
khand where elections
have been held recently,
there has also been a
huge reduction in the
number of donkeys, he
said citing animal cen-
sus figures.
“Its a coincidence,
Congress is losing in
states, where the don-
keys are decreasing,”
he said. When the
Chairman & the minis-
ters objected to this,
Rathore said that there
can be no alliance be-
tween the donkeys &
the Congress. “Donkeys
are decreasing in Raj
too & polls are to be held
next year, what will
happen to Congress?,”
he said. “If Congress
has to be saved then
donkeys should be tak-
en care of,” he added.
Minister Pratap Sin-
gh Khachariyawas said,
“Gujarat has maximum
number of donkeys. PM
praises donkeys, but
you hate them.”
First India Bureau
Jaipur: During the de-
bate on Appropriation
& Finance Bill in As-
sembly, LoP Gulab
Chand Kataria & Dy
LoP Rajendra Rathore
objected over absence
of senior officers of Fi-
nance Department in
the House. “We have
been speaking, but the
Principal Secretary &
Secretary of Finance
Dept aren’t present in
officers’ gallery. These
big officers will come
when the CM comes,
then what will be the
point of speaking here
on the Bill? The bu-
reaucracy has been
dominated to an extent
that the officers do not
seem answerable to the
House, but to the CM.”
Minister BD Kalla
said that representa-
tives of dept’s Princi-
pal Secretary are not-
ing down points. “Bu-
reaucracy has become
so dominating that the
minister has to help-
lessly support them,”
Rathore said.
Kataria said that the
absence of senior offic-
ers of Finance Depart-
ment in the House is a
serious matter. When
Kalla clarified, Kataria
said, “You keep doing
whatever you want to.”

ing to a ques-

said that a

after applica-
tions are received and then connections
are given on the basis of availability of

a supplementary question. The speaker
also asked a question to the minister
regarding demand notice. The minister
was seen unprepared on the issue and
couldn’t reply clearly.
Jaipur: Agriculture Minister Lalchand
Kataria in reply to a question asked by
the MLA Gyan Chand Parakh, admit-
ted that several posts are vacant in
veterinary health centres. The Minister
also said that
the vet-
erinary health
centres
lack build-
ings. Parakh
demanded to
open three
veterinary
health cen-
tres in his constituency. To this, the
speaker said that posts are already
vacant and if you get a new centre
opened, then the posts will remain va-
cant. Parakh also asked a supplemen-
tary question but the minister could
not give a satisfactory answer.
Jaipur: BJP MLA
from Pali, Gyan Chand
Parakh said that it will
not be an exaggeration
to say that PM Naren-
dra Modi is an incarna-
tion of Mahadev (Lord
Shiva), a comment
that invited sharp reac-
tion from ruling Con-
gress. “Once upon a
time, Har Har Mahadev
was spoken & now the
slogan ‘Har Har Modi’
is raised,” he said. “It
won’t be an exaggera-
tion to say that Modi
is an incarnation of
Mahadev,” he said.
PHED Minister Mahesh
Joshi objected saying
that how can a human
be compared like this?
He demanded from
presiding officer in the
chair to expunge the
comments. “It was an
insult to Lord Shiva,”

Jaipur: The controver-

diaries to more than 84
lakh students at the
end of the academic
session is gaining mo-
mentum. Speaking on
the issue on Monday,
BJP legislator and for-
mer Education minis-
ter Vasudev Devnani
alleged that massive
corruption is going on
in the department in-
volving the higher of-
ficials.
Devnani explained
that the Rs 22 crore
scam is only a tip of the
iceberg as the depart-
ment has seen a num-
ber of scandals in the
last three years. The
higher-ups have been
favouring some of their
favourite businessmen
and corruption has
reached its peak in the
department, Devnani
further alleged.

distribution scam

oon after Narendra Modi
took over the reins of the
country, he went heavily
after corruption. Right
from tightening the noose
on shell companies to ini-
tiating legal action against
bank loan defaulters, Modi
lived up to and still does,
of his image of “Na Khata
Hun Na Khane Doonga”.
Narendra Modi always
knew the power of new
technology and its inter-
vention towards bringing
transparency in govern-
ance. He introduced tech-
nology and IT-led innova-
tions and initiatives to
make the governance effec-
tive and at the same time
ease the lives of people. He
launchedDigitalIndiaMis-
sion and the rest is history
.
“Corruption-free gov-
ernance, transparency,
public partnership and
reaching out to people
standing last in the line…
Modi government has ful-
filled all four-five basic
rules of governance…This
also shows Modi ji’s lean-
ing towards new technol-
ogy and scientific temper-
ament. Every reform and
improvement show opti-
mum use of technology,”
union cabinet minister Dr
Jitendra Singh was quoted
as saying.
The Digital India Mis-
sion, which was launched
onJuly1,2015,expandedits
wings and utility with the
introduction of Apps and
digital platforms like
Umang, DG Locker, Bhim,
Rupay and UPI. The coun-
try
, which used to rely com-
pletely on physical transac-
tions was ready to embrace
thetechnology-drivencash-
less transaction system.
The aim was to put a curb
onblackmoneyandenforce
transparencyinthesystem,
which Modi had already
initiatedthroughdemoneti-
sation. He gave a new di-
mension to the Aadhar
Card scheme launched by
the predecessor UPA gov-
ernment and linked every
government-run schemes
with Aadhar for transfer-
ring benefits directly to the
beneficiaries eliminating
any intermediary
.
“Earlier people couldn’t
open bank accounts due to
lack of KYC documents.
Aadharprovidedidentityto
such people and they start-
ed getting cash benefits and
other subsidies directly in
their bank accounts. Leak-
age was plugged,” said RS
Sharma, CEO of Aayush-
man Bharat Scheme.
The PM Modi also fo-
cused on education, health
and employment to serve
theinterestsof poorpeople.
He started new IIMs, IITs
and launched AIIMS in
various parts of the coun-
try
. He also launched Skill
India Mission to hone the
skills of youth and make
them employment ready
.
On November 7, 2015, Modi
fulfilled one of his impor-
tant poll promises… he re-
alised the dreams of thou-
sands of ex-servicemen by
launching One rank One
pension … a long pending
demand which had not
beenfulfilledsince40years.
It was a tribute to the
Armedforcesfromaperson
who used to dream to join
the Army for serving the
country
. Apart from that,
Modi also resolved prob-
lems of Armed forces
whichhadbeenhangingon
fire for long. Right from the
slowpaceof modernisation
to shortage of modern sub-
marinesandfighterplanes,
the country was facing
acute shortage of weapons.
“He gave us more than
whatever we had demand-
ed. Now you see we are the
best centre in the world …
centre of excellence…
which are manufactur-
ing everything includ-
ing weapons,” said
Harivansh Narayan
Singh, deputy chair-
man of RS. While
resolving problems
and difficulties of
Armed forces,
Modi celebrated
thefestivalof Di-
wali with sol-
diers at the fron-
tiers … some-
times in Pun-
jab, some-
times in
Kashmir or
R a j a s t h a n
and some-
times in
Ladakh. The
solider in Modi saluted the
high spirit of Indian Army
deployed in difficult ter-
rainstoprotectthecountry
.
On September 18, 2016,
in the wee hours of the
morning at 5.30 am, an un-
fortunate incident hap-
pened at Uri when Paki-
stan-sponsored terrorists
carried an ambush against
Indian soldiers, who were
caught sleeping in their
camps.Inthatoperation,18
Indian soldiers laid down
their lives before killing
the terrorists. That en-
raged the entire nation and
people called for revenge.
Moved by the public senti-
mentsPMModiannounced
- “Let the terrorists hear it
out… the country is not go-
ing to forget this ghastly
act.” And within 15 days on
September 29, 2016 the In-
dian army avenged the Uri
attack.
“The Indian Army con-
ducted surgical strike last
night at the launch pads, “
Lt General Ranveer Singh,
DGMO, IA declared.
In that operation, the
army conducted sur-
gical strikes in the
P a k - o c c u p i e d
Kashmir and de-
stroyed terror
launch pads kill-
ing a large num-
ber of terrorists.
That was a big
demonstration
of PM Modi’s
courage and
risk-taking abil-
ity. His deci-
sion was
hailed by eve-
ryone in the
country as
Modi defied
the nuclear
threat posed
by Pakistan.
The confi-
dent Modi
then conquered another
front. This time he an-
nounced to roll out GST in
the country, marking the
entry of long awaited One
Nation One Tax system.
This was the biggest re-
form in the field of taxa-
tion in Independent India.
And Modi made it histori-
cal by announcing it at the
stroke of 12 midnight in
the intervening night of
June 30 and July 1, 2017
from the central hall of the
parliament.
Modi never held him-
self back from rolling out
big decisions and mega
reforms. He didn’t shy
away from getting the law
of Triple Talaq passed in
the parliament on Septem-
ber 19, 2018 which brought
great relief in the lives of
Muslim women.
Modi didn’t stop there.
He went on to launch sev-
eral public-friendly
schemes and programmes
including Namami Gange,
Jan Aushadhi Yojana,
Mudra Yojana, Start-up In-
dia and Make in India
among others. Apart from
that healso focusedspecial-
ly on the development of
northeastern states. Under
Look East policy
, he set up a
separate ministry DoNER
to develop infrastructure
and establish connectivity
of northeastern states with
rest of the country
.
The country was on its
way to economic develop-
ment. Just then Pakistan
came into picture once
again. This time Pakistan
backed militants of JeM
conducted a ‘Fidayin’ at-
tack on the convoy of
CRPF killing 18 jawans in
Pulwama on February 14,
2019. After Uri, this was
the second occasion when
the entire country was
boiling with anger. And
Modi was no exception.
On February 26, 2019,
Indian Air force launched
airstrikes in Pakistan’s
Balakot region and de-
stroyed launch pads of ter-
rorists. A large number of
militants were killed and
spirit of terrorists damp-
ened completely after the
bold move of Modi.
2019 was the election
year and Modi was target-
ing a second term with
more than 300 seats. ‘Abki
baar 300 paar’ was the slo-
gan of BJP when it went
for polls in the biggest fes-
tival of democracy. On
May 23, 2019 when the
counting of votes ended,
BJP emerged a clear win-
ner with 303 seats while
the tally for its coalition
NDA went up to 353 seats.
Thedecisivemajorityem-
powered Modi even more,
who looked determined to
roll out bigger reforms and
take big decisions in public
interest at large.
On August 5, 2019, the
Parliament of India voted
in favour of a resolution
tabled by Home Minister
Amit Shah to revoke the
temporary special status,
or autonomy, granted un-
der Article 370 of the In-
dian Constitution to Jam-
mu and Kashmir - an agen-
da which was there in BJP
manifesto for long. With
this Modi also fulfilled his
17-year old promise which
he had made to people of
J&KduringhisEktaYatra.
Just after 3 months on
November 2019 five-judge
bench of Supreme Court
in its ruling ordered con-
struction of Ram Mandir
on the disputed land in
Ayodhya. The path for con-
struction of Mandir was
clear now. On August 5,
2020, Narendra Modi went
to Ayodhya for bhoomi pu-
jan of Ram Mandir. Modi
sent out a message and
clear to everyone - Modi
hai to Mumkin hai.
To be continued...
Corruption-free governance,
transparency, public
partnership and reaching out
to people standing last in the
line… Modi government has
fulfilled all four-five basic
rules of governance…This also
shows Modi ji’s leaning
towards new technology and
scientific temperament. Every

show optimum use of
technology.

Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: Patiala MP
Preneet Kaur has also
joined the ‘gathering’
of angryCongresslead-
ers and many Congress
leadershavequestioned
this. An informed Con-
gress leader has point-
ed out that the state-
ment issued after the
five-hour meeting at
Ghulam Nabi Azad’s
house said that ‘Con-
gress leaders met’, but
should Preneet Kaur
now considered a Con-
gress leader, when she
has openly campaigned
for BJP in Punjab and
sought votes? A mem-
ber of the Congress
Working Committee
says it is one thing to be
angry with the Con-
gress and another to
campaign for the BJP
.
Keep in mind that
Preneet Kaur’s hus-
band Captain Ama-
rinder Singh left the
Congress and formed a
separate party and con-
tested the elections in
coordination with the
BJP
. After her aligning
with the BJP, Preneet
Kaur said many times
that family is more im-
portant to her than the
party
. That is, she is
Congress MP later and
Capt’swifeisfirst.Kaur
also attended the BJP
meeting held in Patiala
in connection with the
preparations for Amit
Shah’s programme and
soughtvotesfortheBJP
during the campaign.
Only then the Congress
leaders say that her at-
tending the meeting
means that the meeting
is in support of the BJP
.
Therefore, if the mem-
bers of the meeting at
Azad’s residence were
sincerely with the Con-
gress, they would have
stopped Preneet Kaur.
Similarly
, this question
is also being asked that
sincewhendidShankar
Singh Vaghela become
aCongressman?Hehad
left the Congress before
the Lok Sabha elections
and later moved to the
NCP
.Therefore,bywhat
authority has he signed
the roll call of leaders
as a Congress man?
Why not stop Preneet Kaur?

New Delhi: In a refer-
ence to the border
standoff with China,
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi on Monday
emphasised that peace
and tranquillity at the
border area was an es-
sential prerequisite for
normalisation of rela-
tions with the neigh-
bouring country
.
PM Modi made these
remarks during the vir-
tual summit with his
Australian counterpart
Scott Morrison, during
which the two leaders
exchanged views on im-
portant regional and
global issues.
Shringla said that
there was equal empha-
sis on the fact that in-
ternational orders
stand on the UN Char-
ter on the rule of law
and respect for the ter-
ritorial integrity and
sovereignty of states.
The conflict in Eu-
rope should not be a re-
gion for us to divert our
attention from the Indo-
Pacific region, and our
position, far as Quad is
concerned, also was on
similar lines, the For-
eign Secretary said.
Shringla informed
that PM Modi and PM
Morrison exchanged
perspectives about re-
gional and multilateral
matters and global is-
sues of mutual interest
including shared con-
cerns such as terrorism.
PM Modi referred to
LAC (Line of Actual
Control) in Ladakh, the
incidents of the previ-
ous year and he empha-
sised that peace and
tranquillity in the bor-
der area was an essen-
tial prerequisite for
normalisation of rela-
tions with China, said
Foreign Secretary
.
Morrison also gave a
fairly detailed perspec-
tiveof howhesawChina
and its actions in the re-
gion and he spoke in par-
ticular about the South
ChinaSea,headded.Ear-
lier this month, the 15th
round of Corps Com-
mander level talks be-
tween India and China
was held at the Chushul-
Moldo border meeting
point on the Indian side

Kolkata (PTI): Trina-

ha and Babul Supriyo
on Monday filed their
nominations for by-
polls to a Lok Sabha and
an assembly seat to be
held on April 12 in West
Bengal.
Sinha has been field-
ed for by-election to the
Asansol Lok Sabha con-
stituency, while Supri-
yo was nominated for

(TMC supremo Mamata
Banerjee) for giving me
this opportunity to con-
test from the presiti-
gious Ballygunge con-
stituency. I am really
honoured and accept
the challenge.
The bypoll to Asansol
was necessitated as Su-
priyo resigned as the
BJP MP after joining
the TMC in September
last year. The Bally-
gunge Assembly seat is
going for polls as in-
cumbent MLA and state

TO STOP MEKEDATU DAM PROJECT
Tamil Nadu Assy moves
resolution against K’taka
Chennai (Agencies):
The Tamil Nadu As-
sembly adopted a res-
olution against the
Karnataka govern-
ment’s attempt to
build the Mekedatu
Dam across the Cau-
very river, in what is
the latest develop-
ment in the row be-
tween the two states.
Earlier this month,
Karnataka Chief
Minister Basavaraj
Bommai had ruled
out negotiations with
his Tamil Nadu coun-
terpart. The resolu-
tion adopted by the
Tamil Nadu Assem-
bly was unanimous,
with the support of
the Tamil Nadu BJP
and the Congress.
The resolution,
moved by Water Re-
sources Minister V
Duraimurugam, said
that the Karnataka
government did not
respect the order of
the Cauvery Water
Dispute Tribunal or
Supreme Court and
without receiving
clearances from co-
basin state or the gov-
ernment of India is
proposing to construct
the dam unilaterally,
which is not accepta-
ble. “Hence, the action
of Government of
Karnataka is strongly
condemnedbythisAu-
gust House,” it said.
The resolution also
urged the Union gov-
ernment to not give
technical, environ-
mental or any other
clearance to the Kar-
nataka government.
Stating that the
matter is a sensitive
dispute, the resolu-
tion asks the Union
government to “ad-
vise the Karnataka
government not to
take up the proposal
of constructing the
reservoir at Mekedatu
or at any other place
in the Cauvery basin,
without getting the
concurrence of the
co-basin States and
obtaining the clear-
ance from the Union
Government.”

Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: Angry with
the Congress high com-
mand, some leaders of
the grand-old party met
at the house of Ghulam
Nabi Azad and after
that issued a statement,
in which many things
have been said. Howev-
er, most things don’t
make sense. Congress
leaders are also sur-
prised as to what was
the need for so much
frills to issue such a
statement. Like it said
that to defeat BJP, Con-
gress needs to be
strengthened and Con-
gress should talk to
like-minded parties.
This is a very generic
thing, which everyone
knows and everyone
also knows the prob-
lems surrounding this
idea. In this, it was spe-
cifically said that the
Congress should pre-
pare a collective and
inclusive leadership
and adopt a collective
and inclusive approach
before taking decisions
at all levels.
Think, what could be
a collective or inclusive
way of making deci-
sions at every level? If
the Congress has to de-
cide the candidate of
the Legislative Assem-
bly in a state, then all
the leaders of the party
should be asked the
names of the candi-
dates on each seat or the
names should be told
and the name is decided
with the consent of all?
Like all parties do, the
Congress also forms a
sorting committee for
the candidates. Based
on the opinion of the
State Committee, the
Sorting Committee pre-
pares a list of names,
which is approved by
the Central Election
Committee. The same
method is adopted in
other parties as well.
Similarly, do the an-
gry leaders want the
Congress high com-
mand to take approval
from the working com-
mittee and all the lead-
ers from outside before
appointing the presi-
dent or making any of-
fice bearer in any state?
Is it the intention of the
collective leadership of
the leaders of this so-
called G-21 that the par-
ty high command
should tell them about
every decision and de-
cide with their consent?
Can these leaders tell
how the current organi-
zation of the Congress,
the current office bear-
ers or the current work-
ing committee is not in-
clusive? Does it not have
leaders from Kashmir to
Kanyakumari and from
Gujarat to Bengal?
In fact, these leaders
have said very superfi-
cial things, the sole pur-
pose of which was to
show that they are op-
posing something, with-
out saying anything
meaningful or con-
structive. Sibal ex-
pressed great displeas-
ure questioning the au-
thority of Rahul, to
have announced the
name of Charanjit Sin-
gh Channi? Think, what
a stupid question? Ra-
hul Gandhi is the for-
mer President of Con-
gress and the only sur-
viving former Presi-
dent. Does anyone in
BJP ask who is Amit
Shah, who makes all the
policy announcements
of the party? Sibal
wants victory like BJP
but Congress doesn’t
want that kind of or-
ganization or that kind
of system.
A PROTEST JUST FOR THE SAKE OF PROTESTING!
New Delhi (PTI): India
has received praise
from across the board
for many of its foreign
policy initiatives, For-
eign Secretary Harsh
Vardhan Shringla said
on Monday, a day after
Pakistan PM Imran
Khan lauded India for
its foreign policy
.
When asked at a me-
dia briefing about
Khan’s comments,
Shringla said India’s re-
cordspeaksforitself and
suggested that it would
bewrongtosaythatonly
one leader compliment-
ed New Delhi.
“To say that one per-
son would be wrong. I
think we have received
praise across the board
for many of our foreign
policy initiatives. I
think our record speaks
for itself,” the foreign
secretary said.
At a public rally,
Khan lauded India for
following an independ-
ent foreign policy say-
ing New Delhi imported
crude oil from Russia
despite American sanc-
tions on Moscow for its
attack on Ukraine.
Thiruvananthapuram:
Shashi Tharoor, or-
dered to stay away from
a CPM seminar next
month by Congress
chief Sonia Gandhi,
took a step back today.
But his statement mak-
ing the announcement
had a sting in the tail.
Recounting that he had
earlier turned down a
similar CPM invite af-
ter a discussion with
Mrs Gandhi — “a suit-
able decision... taken
without media contro-
versy” — he added that
a similar procedure
“could have been easily
followed this time”.
“I regret that some
preferred the unseemly
public airing of inter-
nal differences, thereby
creating a needless con-
troversy in a matter in
which AICC’s view was
binding. I hope wisdom
will prevail in future,”
he added.
The admonition was
apparently meant for
colleagues in the Con-
gress in Kerala, who
had flagged the issue to
Sonia Gandhi at the
party’s parliamentary
office in Delhi.
New Delhi: India’s first
Chief of Defence Staff
General Bipin Rawat,
who died in a chopper
crash last December,
late Radheshyam
Khemka, former chair-
man of Gita Press that
publishes Hindu reli-
gious books, and Con-
gress leader Ghulam
Nabi Azad were among
54 personalities who
were conferred Padma
awards by President
Ram Nath Kovind on
Monday
.
While Rawat and
Khemka were given
Padma Vibhushan, the
country’s second-high-
est civilian award, post-
humously, Azad, Tata
Sons chairman N Chan-
drasekharan, former
CAG Rajiv Mehrishi,
founder of Serum Insti-
tute of India that made
Covid-19 vaccine Cov-
ishield Cyrus Poona-
walla were among the
eight honoured with
Padma Bhushan, the
country’s third-highest
civilian award, at a civil
investiture ceremony
.
The award for Rawat
was received by his
daughters while a close
family member re-
ceived the award for
Khemka. Many of those
who received the Pad-
ma awards were “un-
sung heroes”, including
125-year-old yoga prac-
titioner Swami Si-
vananda. Members of
the audience clapped as
a bare-feet Sivananda,
dressed in a simple
white kurta and dhoti,
knelt before PM Naren-
dra Modi who promptly
got up and bowed,
touching the ground as
he returned the greet-
ing. These awards are
given in various disci-
plines and fields such as
art, social work, public
affairs, science and en-
gineering, trade and
industry, medicine, lit-
erature and education,
sports, civil service, etc.
New Delhi (ANI): Lok
Sabha Speaker Om Bir-
la flagged off the Pras-
adam Raths from his

tiatives like this one are
bringing free fresh food
for the underprivileged
and the poor sections of
society, said Birla on
the occasion of the ini-
tiative Prasadam Rath.
Apart from the other
hospitals in the coming

New Delhi (PTI): Drug
firm Hetero on Monday
said its biologics arm
has received approval
from the Central Drugs
Standard Control Or-
ganisation (CDSCO) to
manufacture and sell
Sputnik Light for re-
stricted emergency use
in India.
Hetero is the first bi-
opharmaceutical com-
pany in India to receive
Manufacturing and

proval for the product
manufactured locally
for the prevention of
Covid-19 in adults aged
over 18 years, adminis-
tered in a single dose of

other currently ap-
proved vaccines in In-
dia require two doses of
administration, it add-
ed. Sputnik Light is the
first component (recom-
binant human adenovi-
rus serotype number 26
(rAd26)) of Sputnik V
.
In February 2022, the
DCGI granted emergen-
cy use permission to

Kabul (Agencies):
Khalid Payenda who
once oversaw and pre-
sented a 6 billion dollar
budget as Afghanistan's
Finance Minister in Ka-
bul is now an Uber driv-

Talking to The Wash-
ington Post he said he
earns “a little over 150
dollars for six hours'
work, not counting his
commute”.
Afghanistan is cur-
rently facing a financial

sis, with many coun-

New Delhi (PTI):
India’s economy is
far better placed to-
day, and there will be
a “marginal impact”
from the Ukraine
war, said RBI Gover-
nor Shaktikanta Das
on Monday, address-
ing industrialists at
the National Council
Meeting of the Con-
federation of Indian
Industry or the CII.
Speaking on the
economy and the
risk of stagflation,
Das said the Indian
economy is far better
placed today
.
“India is far away
from such a prospect.
You have to look at
targets. We expect in-
flation in India to
moderate. I don’t see
a situation in India
where inflation
keeps on skipping
the band,” he said.

is misleading the
House. Misrepresenta-
tion was made about

MANY CONTENDERS
FOR CM POST IN BJP,
SAYS CM GEHLOT
Jaipur: In Assembly, CM
Gehlot said, ‘The attitude
of the Centre towards the
states is not right. Our
share should be 68,000
from the Central gov-
ernment, who will give
only 49,000 crores. BJP
leaders should help to get
ERCP declared as central
project. At least advocate
it before the PM. It seems
that BJP leaders are afraid
of demanding from PM
Modi and Shah.” “This
is for 13 districts. BJP
leaders should declare it a
national project otherwise
in the next elections, BJP
will be wiped out from 13
districts.
‘REGULARIZE PLOTS OF UP TO 200 SQ YARDS
INSTEAD OF 100 SQ YARDS IN KACCHI BASTI’
The current period of the campaign was till March
31 this year. Gehlot declared to run the campaign
for one more year in the assembly. Gehlot also
announced to regularize plots of up to 200 sq yards
instead of 100 sq yards in kacchi basti areas. While
replying to the debate on Rajasthan Appropriation
Bill (Number 2) 2022 and the Rajasthan Finance Bill
2022, Gehlot said that plots upto 200 sq yards in
kacchi basti can be regularized. Earlier, this limit was
110 sq yards. Gehlot also announced to reduce the
lock in period to sell the land in kacchi basti from 10
y years to 3 years.

The most beautiful part of life is
that we have a choice, every day,
how to lead it.

POSTAL REG NO. JPC/004/2022-24
 Renowned faces lost
the election in the As-
sembly polls for 5
states. How do you
analyse this loss of
established leaders?
Jagdeesh Chandra:
Let’s take these one by
one. Firstly, Charanjit
Singh Channi. His de-
feat is extremely shame-
fulforCongress,moreso
since he contested from
2 seats. His image was
destroyedandthenraids
were carried out on his
brother. He crashed on
the runway, even before
take-off. The comes Nav-
jot Singh Sidhu. Well,
this had to happen to
him. The people of Pun-
jab have grown tired of
Sidhu’s barbs and at-
tacks at party. So, they
thought they will teach a
lesson to Sidhu. Captain
Amarinder Singh de-
served a more humiliat-
ing defeat than this. He
proved to be the biggest
villaininPunjab.Noone
cried on Captain’s de-
feat. Dhami too lost, but
the real reason for his
loss is still a mystery al-
thoughpeopleclaimthat
he worked a lot for the
party hence he could not
give time to his constitu-
ency. However, the un-
dercurrent in this case
is that his relation with
a few businessmen were
not cordial, that is what
is being said. Some com-
mitmentsweremadebut
the work did not happen.
So, there was an under-
current and they affect-
ed the election. Similar-
ly, Harish Rawat also
lost. He was a party in
Congress’ defeat in Pun-
jab. KP Maurya’s defeat
is also surprising.
 After Punjab elec-
tions and dismal per-
formance of both
Congress and BJP
, do
you think the politi-
cal graph and hon-
our of both parties
in-charges - Harish
Choudhary and Ga-
jendra Singh Shekha-
wat - will come down?
See, the individual’s
honour does take a hit.
But in politics, honour
can be regained and
through wrong acts, lost
also. But what happens
at the end of the day
, gets
counted. See, Rajasthan
will undergo elections
next year and Gajendra
Singh Shekhawat is still
the CM face, if Gehlot is
unable to form govern-
ment. So, he was a CM
candidate and will re-
main so. He still has ac-
cess to PM. Moreover,
what has happened in
Punjab cannot be put on
just one person because
it was a clean sweep. But
yes, he had to face a
slight disappointment
from PM and Home Min-
ister’s side due to the
security lapse when PM
had visited Punjab. I
have heard that he had
promised that one lakh
people will be present
for the rally, but there
were about five to ten
thousand people, over
which PM and Amit
Shah conveyed their dis-
pleasure. So yes, there
hasbeenaslightdamage
but for Punjab’s loss, he
cannot be made fully re-
sponsible. So, the blame
on leaders like Shekha-
wat, Harish Choudhary
and even Ajay Maken
who was not directly
and openly involved,
does not stand since it
was a Tsunami of AAP
.
 Can the Union gov-
ernment bring back
the agricultural laws
before 2024, that were
withdrawn few
months back?
It does not appear so. It
is ruled out till 2024.
 How do you visual-
ise the political land-
scape in Gujarat,
Himachal Pradesh
and Rajasthan?
Let’sbeginwithGujarat.
That state will witness
BJP’s clean sweep once
again. Although Con-
gress too will improve
over its current situa-
tion as Raghu Sharma,
as Congress in-charge,
will make certain im-
provements. Only in
ticket distribution will
one find out how much
of a say Raghu Sharma
has and how much free
hand Rahul Gandhi has
given him. As of now he
is doing good because he
talks convincingly
. But
for BJP, with Modi and
Shah, it will be more or
less like clean sweep.
Just imagine, after a
grand victory on 10
March Modi gave a
speech to party workers
frompartyheadquarters
and went back. At a time
when all other party
leaders were busy rest-
ing from the tiring work
of all the past months,
Modi set an agenda for
next day and flew to
Ahmedabad. He carried
out a 9 km long rally
from Ahmedabad to
Gandhinagar which 4
lakh people attended
and that moment has set
the tone for Gujarat, he
is the hero of Gujarat so
the election is a mere
formality now. Secondly
,
the situation in
Himachal is bad. But
even though the locals
may be disgruntled with
the CM there, but again
it will be the central
leadership of BJP i.e.
Modi-Shah who will car-
ry out the strategy and
conduct the poll. For Ra-
jasthan, there was a per-
ception that through his
budget, his strategy and
the undeclared Raje fac-
tor in BJP, will make it
easyforGehlottoreturn
to power. It will be ex-
tremely hard to beat
Ashok Gehlot on strate-
gic level for BJP
. But the
new theory that state
leaders have no rele-
vance, and there are
questions on efficacy of
Rajefactor.Electionsare
contested on political at-
mosphereandInowcon-
sider that in the current
environment, Gehlot
has fifty percent chance
of repeating the govern-
ment, which I earlier
considered to be 90%.
Because now even in
state elections, votes are
being cast on Narendra
Modi’s name. This is the
situationtodaybutsince
there is a little over a
year left to election, the
situation may change.
 How do you rate
Modi as a Prime
Minister and also as
a game-changer po-
litical leader of the
Nation?
People of the land rate a
leader and as a citizen, I
can, without doubt, rate
him as an outstanding
leader, and as a Prime
Minister also. Every-
thing is before us. At the
end of the day delivery
counts and results are
in his favour.
 Are Modi and Shah
made for each other
as political support
system?
100%! The wavelength,
the ideology matches.
He is like a ‘Hanuman’
for Narendra Modi and
even though Shah is the
Home Minister and a
powerful force in politi-
cal sphere of the nation,
yet for him Narendra
Modi is his ‘Ram’. That
is his faith and trust in
Modi. Secondly, Shah is
Narendra Modi’s all-
weather friend. He is
not like the ‘good weath-
er friend’ that as long as
someone is in power,
they will stay with
them. Does any state
have a second in com-
mand like him where
the CM may rest and
hand over the reins to
the second in command
that they can handle the
state and not backstab, I
don’t see anyone. There
is no vacuum between
the number 1 and num-
ber 2 in leadership.
 BJP was defeated
in 3 Assembly and
one Lok Sabha by-
elections held in
Himachal last year.
Can there be a change
of leadership after
the defeat in these
elections?
There is a possibility of
this happening. I have
information from inter-
nal sources that BJP
national president JP
Nadda has been told to
go to Himachal since he
has a good image. He is
in two minds and has
tried to approach PM for
not sending him there.
as such it is like walk-
ing on a sword, firstly to
bring a mandate and to
work on Modi-Shah’s
mandate. He may have
to go but as of now he
has denied. If Nadda
does not go to Himachal,
then Anurag Thakur
may be a choice.
 If JP Nadda is
brought to Shimla
from Delhi, then who
will be the next Chief
of BJP?
See, BJP can surprise
anyone on this aspect.
But one person who I
think can fit the bill is
Dharmendra Pradhan,
since he enjoys trust of
both Narendra Modi
and Amit Shah. He is a
hardworking party
worker, is connected
with Sangh, has carried
out responsibilities in
Bihar and Uttar
Pradesh, as Petroleum
minister he removed
the corporates and
opened the ministry for
poor through his gas
connection scheme. His
ministry achieved the
same feat as what NRE-
GA had achieved in
UPA. So, I think he is a
strong candidate and if
he becomes, he will be a
good choice.
 Can Narendra
Modi give Amit Shah
the responsibility of
BJP President yet
again? If so, how will
he align his work be-
tween Home Ministry
and BJP?
Who so ever becomes
the party president will
ascend to the position
only with acceptance of
Narendra Modi and
Amit Shah. Like I said,
for Shah , Modi is like
Ram, so if Ram says
that you will have to
take responsibility of
the party also, he will
accept it. He is a worka-
holic. If he is working
for 20 hours now, he will
still increase his work
time to make time for
party
. He was unwell af-
ter corona but still went
on a tour. He is the best
choice, if the situation
ever comes to this.
 To whom would you
like to give the credit
for the historic victo-
ry in Manipur? How
do you see the role of
Bhupender Yadav as
Manipur in-charge?
Manipur victory is, in a
way, a collective victory
.
The CM there is popular
as he has done good
work there. People
thought that it will be a
hung assembly, but the
results proved to be dif-
ferent. When Bhupen-
dra Yadav was made
Manipur in-charge, I
questioned the move,
thinking if he has been
side-lined, since he held
powerful positions pri-
or to that as in-charge
of Bihar, UP and other
responsibilities. After
Amit Shah, he is the one
who understands the in-
ner workings of the
party and the political
sphere also. It was after
the BJP won the Ma-
nipur election that I re-
alised he was given an
extremely critical as-
signment and he has
done well. BJP has its
government again.
 What are the chal-
lenges before the new
BJP government of
Goa today? Who do
you consider to be a
serious candidate
among the possible
chief ministerial fac-
es for Uttarakhand,
Goa and Manipur?
Goa is a major tourism
centre and one of the
prime challenges before
the government will be
how to boost tourism
that has been majorly af-
fected by Corona pan-
demic. Then a new pseu-
do-culture is taking over
that opposes the night
life in Goa, so if one
takes out that part from
Goa, then who will go
there? This is what Goa
has sold to tourists for
all these years. So, if you
ban activities which are
actually the ones that
generate revenue not
just for government but
for people, how will any-
thing work then? The
government faces a
challenge from people
with extreme views and
then it also has to pro-
ject its liberal image too.
Additionally, mining is
a major sector there but
it gets all sorts of stays
in courts. So, CM will
have to fight legal bat-
tles and win too. Thirdly
,
the BJP CM will have to
counter growing influ-
ence of AAP also.

Simran Modi, partic-
ipating model at Elite
Miss Rajasthan 2021
India shared her
journey in an exclu-
sive interview with
City First.
When asked about
her journey, the diva
said, “I was born and
brought up in Jaipur
itself. I live in a nu-
clear family which
includes my mother,
father and my won-
derful younger broth-
er.” She further add-
ed, “I am a master’s
degree graduate.
Though, with the un-
conditional support
that my mother gave
me, my journey has
become much easier.
I strongly believe in
never giving up on
dreams. When the
time is right, it will
all come together and
the struggle you went
through will finally
make sense.”
When asked about
what interests her,
Simran said, “Other
than modelling, I en-
joy reading and danc-
ing. It is the perfect
combination since
one keeps my mind
busy, and the other
keeps my body fit.”
I do my best to grow
myself as much as I
can in a short span
and through this tal-
ent, I will one day be
a successful model.
Paying immense
gratitude to Gaurav
Gaur, Director Elite
Miss Rajasthan, the
ravishing diva said,
“I am glad to be a part
of Elite Miss Ra-
jasthan and my
mentor, Gaurav
Gaur. His support
has been truly
fruitful.”
Sharing her two
cents for aspiring
models, Simran
Modi said, “A lot
of rejection
may come
your way but
always believe
inyourself.”
