ment over the Devgarh incident. Raje
has said that a series of heinous crimes
have taken place in Rajasthan for the
last four years “Instead of cursing the
BJP daily, Gehlot should take care of
the ongoing Jungle Raj in the state,”
she said. Poonia said that those who
talk about uniting India at this time are
busy saving their chairs. “The Chief
Minister is sitting with his eyes shut like
an ostrich. He is an expert in saving his
chair and is not interested in saving the
life of any person and now this incident in Rajsamand
shows how the terror of mafia and criminals is reign-
ing under the political patronage of Gehlot.” he said.
In the last few years, there has been an increase in
the incidents of attacks on the priests of temples or
incidents like self-immolation. The BJP is set to raise
this issue in its Aakrosh Yatras. —AISHWARY PRADHAN

Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: IAS Officers As-
sociation has raised voice
against Rural Development
and Panchayati Raj Minister
Ramesh Meena. Condemn-
ing the conduct of the
minister, the association
submitted a memorandum
to CS Usha Sharma on
Monday evening.
Association’s Vice Presi-
dent Kunji LAL Meena and
secretary Samit Sharma led
a delegation of more than 2
dozen officers and handed
over the memorandum at 7
pm. Sources said that the
Chief Secretary assured
them to discuss the matter
with the Chief Minister. In
the memorandum, Minister
Ramesh Meena has been
condemned for his misbe-
havior with Bikaner Collector
Bhagwati Prasad Kalal and
Alwar Collector Jitendra
Upadhyay. The association
has demanded that the
government should take the
matter seriously and pub-
licly condemn the conduct
of the minister
so that the
morale of
the officers
remains high.
The mem-
bers of the
association held a meeting
after submitting the memo-
randum and discussed
the strategy. According to
sources, the members were
very angry and upset. An
office-bearer of the associa-
tion said that the association
has raised its voice because
the incidents happening one
after the other were hurting
the honor and morale of the
officers. The association is
considering taking some
effective steps beyond sub-
mitting the memorandum.
On the other hand, Bikaner’s
Ministerial Workers Union
has also sent a memoran-
dum to the Chief Minister on
Monday against the indecent
behavior and remarks of the
minister towards the Col-
lector. The union demands
that the minister should
be directed to apologize
for his indecent remarks
and behavior. The union
said that the Chief Minister
himself has been a symbol
of decency, gentleness and
humility, the same is ex-
pected from other ministers
of the government.
The memorandum was sub-
mitted with the signatures
of District President of the
Union, Ashok Singh Gaur.

AMERICA IN NO
POSITION TO
LECTURE OTHERS
ON LAW, ORDER
he United States of
America may be the
world’s richest and
most developed coun-
try but its gun cul-
ture and narrow mindset to-
wards different social groups
like women, Blacks and the LG-
BTQ. For women the US may not
be as safe as it is perceived to be.
According to World Population
Review’s latest rape statistics,
number of rapes or sexual as-
sault varies from one state to
another but the average worked
out to one rape every 1-2 min-
utes. Women aged 16-19 years are
more likely to be victims of rape.
Last Saturday night at least
five people were killed in a
shooting incident at an LGBTQ
club in Colorado taking the
number of deaths in mass shoot-
ings to over 601 this year. Blacks
have also been victims of such
shootings. With over a month
still remaining in 2022, it may
catch up with last year’s toll of
692. The US is in no position to

TOP TWEETS
T
awyers often go
on strike but rare-
ly do they do so to
question the deci-
sion of the Su-
preme collegium over the
transfer of a judge with the
concurrence of the Union
Law Ministry. Gujarat High
Court lawyers have been on
strike over the transfer of
Justice Nikhil S Kariel to the
Patna High Court calling the
collegium’s decision as “the
death of judiciary’s inde-
pendence” and even observed
two minutes’ silence in
mourning. Lawyers claim
that it is a “penal transfer”
and described the judge as
independent, balanced and
clean. They see no reason for
Justice Kariel’s transfer to
Patna and conveyed their ob-
jections to the Chief Justice
of India Justice DY Chandra-
chud when they met him on
Monday
.
Neither the Union Law
Minister Kiren Rijiju nor
Justice Chandrachud had
sounded encouraging of the
move. Law Minister Rijiju
deprecated the action by law-
yers and said at a function
organised by the Bar Council
of India that “if it becomes a
recurring instance for every
decision by the collegium,
which is supported by the
government, then where will
it lead to”? Justice Chandra-
chud also did not appreciate
lawyers questioning the col-
legium’s decision and said
that decisions are taken
keeping in view “the national
perspective”.
Justice Chandrachud told
the lawyers that the issue
would be duly examined. Is
that setting a precedent?
Right or wrong, lawyers must
defer to the collegium’s deci-
sions on transfer and eleva-
tion of judges. They should
not avoid acting like a trade
union to seek reversal of the
collegium’s decisions.

L
India will host the G-20
Leaders’ Summit at the level
of Heads of State/
Government on 9th and
10th September 2023, in
New Delhi. Under its
Presidency, India is
expected to host over 200
meetings across India,
commencing from December
2022. As indicated by
Indian PM, it’s going to be
Impeccable and Uniquely
‘Indian’ G-20, and this
mega event will be
conducted closer to the lives
of the people of India
making it ‘People’s G-20’
he G-20 or Group of Twenty
was created in 1999 as an ac-
ceptable medium between
the more “elitist” G-7 and the
more unwieldy 38-member
Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Develop-
ment (OECD). The formation
of the G-20 is more so linked
to the disappointment of the
international community
over the failure of the G-7 in
finding solutions to the prob-
lems of the global economy.
The middle-income coun-
tries and those with systemic
economic influence in the
negotiations to find solutions
to global economic problems
became imminent. Over the
past two decades, the global
economic balance has shift-
ed, and the G-20 has been
seen as a more representa-
tive and egalitarian grouping
of global leadership, and was
particularly useful in steer-
ing the global economy after
the financing crisis and
banking collapse of 2008. Sig-
nificantly, the “Troika” of
G-20 will be made up of
emerging economies for the
first time with India, Indone-
sia and Brazil - an indicator
of the shift in the global eco-
nomic agenda towards the
Global South. While G-7 is
generally engaging more in
political and security- relat-
ed issues, the G-20 primarily
focuses on global economic
and finance governance.
G-20 is the premier forum
for international economic
cooperation representing
around 85% of the global
GDP, over 75% of the world-
wide trade, and about two-
thirds of the world popula-
tion. The G-20 is an intergov-
ernmental forum comprising
19 countries and the Europe-
an Union. It works to address
major issues related to the
global economy
, such as inter-
national financial stability,
climate change mitigation,
and sustainable development.
The members of the G-20 are:
Argentina, Australia, Brazil,
Canada, China, France, Ger-
many, India, Indonesia, Italy,
Japan, Republic of Korea,
Mexico, Russia, Saudi Ara-
bia, South Africa, Turkey
, the
United Kingdom, the United
States, and the European Un-
ion. The G-20 is divided into
two channels, namely the fi-
nancial track and the Sherpa
track. The financial channel,
specifically addresses a num-
ber of agendas related to the
financial sector.
Bali Summit 15-16 Nov
2022: The motto of recently
concluded Bali Summit in
Indonesia was ‘Recover To-
gether, Recover Stronger’.
Recovery from the pandemic
was major focus despite geo-
political tensions overshad-
owing the summit. The Bali
Summit focuses on a durable
recovery multilateral action
on climate, debt, taxation,
and pandemic preparedness.
The Bali Declaration ac-
knowledged differences over
Russia-Ukraine war, but
most members strongly con-
demned it and opined that it
is essential to uphold inter-
national law and multilateral
system that safeguards peace
and stability
. Prime Minister
Narendra Modi’s mantra “to-
day’s era must not be of war”
resonated in the joint decla-
ration or communiqué is-
sued after the G-20 Summit.
INDIA’S PRESIDENCY:
DEC 2022 - NOV 2023
India has been a member of
the G-20 since its inception in
1999. As an important mem-
ber of the grouping, India
ensured that its perspective
on issues of vital national
importance did not go un-
heard in the global financial
narrative. India will be as-
suming chairmanship of the
G-20 for one year from 01 De-
cember 22. This is a matter of
pride for every Indian and an
opportunity for the country
to emerge as a leader to solve
some of the most pressing is-
sues facing humanity today.
However, India’s Presidency
comes at a watershed mo-
ment coinciding with a peri-
od of global flux. The global
community is facing multi-
ple political and economic
challenges.
India’s three guiding prin-
ciples going into the G-20
Presidency are: - First, serv-
ing as a bridge between the
developed and developing
world, second, serving as the
representative of the eastern
bloc of nations and third, in-
sulating the G-20 from some
of the divisive pressures that
have paralysed multilateral-
ism elsewhere.
INDIA’S MAJOR
OPPORTUNITIES AND
CHALLENGES
Evolve a clear G-20 policy on
Russia- Ukraine war ending
the conflict, preventing fur-
ther isolation of Russia in
the forum.
Focus on inclusive, equita-
ble and sustainable growth;
LiFE (Lifestyle for Environ-
ment); women’s empower-
ment; digital public infra-
structure and tech-enabled
development. The Indian PM
Modi’s vision of Vasudhaiva
Kutumbakam - “One Earth,
One Family, One Future”
with focus being “ principle
of ‘data for devp’ of all.
The after-effects of the
pandemic and economic re-
covery have been worsened
in the wake of Russia –
Ukraine war and needs
global co-operation to re-
store normalcy. While the
overall focus will have to be
on sustainable economic
growth but need to chalk out
a roadmap to deal with the
economic situation in col-
laboration with the IMF,
OECD, WTO, and the Finan-
cial Stability Board.
Climate financing is an-
other area that India has to
work on with the affluent na-
tions. The developed coun-
tries have to be prodded for
transfer of clean technolo-
gies and renewable energies
to medium and low-income
countries.

Surendranagar (PTI):
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi on Monday
took a dig at Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi's
Bharat Jodo Yatra, say-
ing those who have been
thrown out of power are
taking out foot march to
get back to power. Ad-
dressing a gathering in
Surendranagar town of
poll-bound Gujarat,
Modi also said instead
of talking about devel-
opment during elec-
tions, the opposition
Congress is saying it
will show him his “au-
kat” (status).
“Now, the Congress
does not talk about de-
velopment during elec-
tions. Instead, Congress
leaders are saying they
will show Modi his au-
kat. Just look at their
arrogance. They, in-
deed, belong to a royal
family, while I am mere-
ly a servant having no
aukat,” he said. “In the
past, the Congress had
used words like ‘neech
aadmi’, ‘maut ka sauda-
gar’ and ‘naali ka kee-
da’ for me. I urge you to
talk about development
instead of playing this
game of ‘aukat’,” he
said, adding that he
swallows such insults
because his focus is to
make India a developed
nation.
Elections to the Guja-
rat Assembly will be
held in two phases on
December 1 and 5. Modi
said people who were
dethroned long back
were taking out yatra to
get back the power.
“Some people are doing
foot march to get back
to power. They are also
taking along those who
had stalled the Narma-
da project for 40 years
through litigation and
kept Gujarat thirsty for
40 years. In this elec-
tion, the people of Guja-
rat will punish those
who are doing this
padyatra,” he said.

IN THE COURTYARD
Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: Former
Congress president Ra-
hul Gandhi made K
Sudhakaran the state
president of Kerala
Congress. The party
has not benefited much
from his becoming the
president, rather his
statements are definite-
ly causing trouble to the
party. He has given two
such statements recent-
ly
, due to which the Con-
gress is cornered. Not
only have the Left par-
ties raised questions on
these statements, but
the Indian Union Mus-
lim League, an ally of
the Congress, has also
criticized them. Al-
though some experts of
Kerala politics say that
while Sudhakaran’s
statement looks harm-
ful for the Congress, but
Congress can get bene-
fit from it in the elec-
tions.
He first said that
many decades ago,
when people from Com-
munist parties did not
allow RSS people to set
up shakhas and used to
attack them, he (Sudha-
karan) used to protect
Sangh people by send-
ing his own people. Af-
ter that he said that the
country’s first Prime
Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru was very demo-
cratic and had made
Syama Prasad Mukher-
jee a minister in his
government by compro-
mising with the fight
against fascism.

IIT Jodhpur researchers develop
self-cleaning coating for solar panels
Sangeeta Sharma
Jodhpur. Researchers
of the Indian Institute
of Technology Jodh-
pur have developed a
coating technique for
easy and clean clean-
ing of solar panel sur-
faces. This coating will
retain the power gen-
eration capacity of the
solar panel. In western
Rajasthan, which is
considered to be the
hub of solar energy,
due to sandstorms, the
soil gets frozen in the
solar panels. This af-
fects power genera-
tion. In fact, these pan-
els have to be cleaned
constantly for solar
companies to extract
maximum power out-
put. Fellow (PMRF),
Department of Metal-
lurgical and Materials
Engineering, IIT Jodh-
pur has sent it for pat-
ent approval.
These coatings are
transparent, scalable,
durable and superhy-
drophobic. This self-
cleaning coating has
been developed by the
principal investigator,
Dr. Ravi K. R., Associ-
ate Professor Head,

Jaipur: The State Gov-
ernment has cleared the
way for issuing single
leases of large plots in
Prithviraj Nagar
scheme. Single leases
can be issued for plots
larger than 1000 square
yards.Insuchcases,land
will have to be left for the
facility area.
JDA will be able to is-
sue single patta at its
ownlevelandthefilewill
not be sent to govern-
ment for lease approval.
The JDA was seeking
guidance for last 3
years. Now residential /
commercial / institu-
tional / mixed leases
can be issued. With this,
the State Govt has put
an end to the confusion
that was prevailing for
the last 3 years in the
matter of Prithviraj
Nagar scheme. In the
2nd term of the Gehlot
government, the way
was cleared for giving
lease in the Prithviraj
Nagar scheme. Since
then, there have been
changes in the rules for
issuing leases.
In this scheme, till
now there was a provi-
sion to issue single patta
for plots up to 1,000
square yards only
. Re-
cently
, a meeting was
held by UDH Minister
Shanti Dhariwal. JDA
CommissionerRaviJain
raised this matter in this
meet. After this, the
State Government has
now decided to issue sin-
gle pattas for plots larger
than 1000 square yards.
Single patta can be is-
sued on the basis of doc-
uments presented by the
account holder or land
buyer and the lease can
be issued for residential,
institutional, commer-
cial or mixed land use.
Regulation fee will be
charged on the basis of
the prescribed rates.

RajasthanChief Minis-
ter and Senior
Observer of Congress in
Gujarat assembly elec-
tions,AshokGehlotiscon-
fident of the party’s victo-
ry in the Assembly elec-
tions.Inaninterviewwith
the Consulting Editor of
Bharat24 Amit Mishra,
Gehlotsharedthereasons
forhisconfidenceandwhy
he feels that Congress has
an upper edge over BJP
and AAP in Gujarat.
z Congress is con-
stantly raising issues
of unemployment and
inflation. Do you
think, after Ra-
jasthan, people in Gu-
jarat are able to un-
derstand that these
are big issues?
Gehlot: The aim of Ra-
hul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat
Jodo Yatra’ is also simi-
lar(toraisetheseissues).
The inflation has broken
the back of the public.
Although,Gujaratiscon-
sidered financially well
off, but there is a limit to
price rise. There is se-
vereunemploymenthere
and there is unrest
among young people.
The system of jobs for
goodgovernanceismiss-
ing here. This govern-
ment has failed and the
entire cabinet had to be
re-jigged. During Coro-
na, the situation has not
been good and people did
not get treatment, and
people died of spurious
liquor.InMorbiincident,
135 people died and there
has not been any probe.
z You have started in-
itiative of door-to-
door campaign. How
much will Congress
benefit from it?
The five yatras of Con-
gress at the divisional
level received warm wel-
come because there is
unrest among the public
against the present re-
gime. In 2017 also, there
was anger among the
public but this time,
there is more anger.
Only Congress can give
an option, no other par-
ty can. So, I think the
Congress will benefit
from this strategy
.
z Last time also, you
took the command
and Congress got 77
seats. Do you think
the Congress will
cross that figure or re-
main around that fig-
ure only?
The PCC has done an as-
sessment and set a target
of 125 seats and we are
moving towards that
daily
. Where we will
reach, only time will tell.
z PM has accused
that people opposing
Narmada Project
have joined ‘Bharat
Jodo Yatra’?
PM Modi and Amit Shah
are worried as such they
are using such ‘Jumlas.’
Activistsdotheirjoband
keep their view point in
every state. It is not nec-
essary that the govern-
ment agrees to them all.
Medha Patkar kept op-
posing it, but the dam
wasconstructed.‘Bharat
JodoYatra’isnotof Con-
gress only
. This Yatra is
in the interest of the na-
tion. Rahul Gandhi has
been Party President
and is the national lead-
er as such his leadership
isvisible.Hehashimself
said that he is a ‘Yatri.’
There is tension in the
country even among
journalists and writers,
who are labelled
anti-nationals for airing
their views. This is not
good and the public is
gradually understand-
ing these issues.
z AAP is also contest-
ing with full force. Do
you think AAP’s pres-
ence will lead to tri-
angular contest?
During the last one
month, they cam-
paigned a lot. It is a
mystery and Arvind Ke-
jriwal should answer as
to why they campaigned
a lot in Himachal
Pradesh and later to-
tally withdrew from the
contest. This is beyond
comprehension. As
such, people in Gujarat
are also apprehensive
that AAP may with-
draw here too. There is
a direct contest between
Congress and BJP here.
AAP is nowhere in the
picture and its graph is
going down.
z Your ‘Old Pension
Scheme’ has become a
role model. Congress
is including it in its
manifesto in other
states also. How will
you assure Gujarat
people that schemes
implemented in Ra-
jasthan will be repli-
cated there also?
Wehavepromisedpeople
andtheCongressgovern-
ment will fulfil it. The
healthinsurancescheme
of Rajasthan should be
implemented across the
country
. I publicly ap-
pealed to PM Modi at
Mangarh event to repli-
catethehealthinsurance
scheme across the coun-
try for social security
.
The ‘Ayushman Scheme’
is for limited people only
.
We have provided Rs 10
lakhinsuranceandinad-
dition Rs 5 lakh acciden-
tal insurance.
z How assured are
you about Congress’
victory in Gujarat?
I think there will be
startling results. I can
say this much only
.
