Congress leader Rahul Gandhi carries offerings as he arrives
at the Dwarkadhish Temple in Dwarka, Gujarat.
Dwarka: Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi
on Saturday asked his
party leaders in Guja-
rat to prepare a list of
“Kauravas” in the
party, who just “sit in
their AC offices, do
nothing but talk and
disturb others”, add-
ing that such people
eventually cross over
to the BJP.
He also hit out at
the Modi government
over the use of central
agencies, saying it has
“CBI, ED, media, po-
lice and goons”, and
said ultimately it is
the truth that matters.
Alleging that Guja-
rat is suffering be-
cause of “BJP’s poli-
tics”, he said Congress
has an opportunity to
win the next Assem-
bly polls in the state,
but it fails to convey a
clear vision to the peo-
ple about what it in-
tends to do after it
comes to power.

WHY INDIA ABSTAINED ON UN

India’s abstention from the vote on the draft resolution
with “deploring in strongest terms” Russia’s operations

with Moscow and its Western allies over the last month.
Earlier, Russia vetoed a draft UN Security Council resolu-
tion. China, India and the UAE abstained from voting on
the US-drafted text. The remaining eleven council mem-

Jaipur: Two senior
leaders and close
friends, having RSS
background met ea-
chother on Saturday.
They once used to be
the axis of BJP in Ra-
jasthan but time
changed and both of
them left the BJP and
formed new party
. Time
changed again, and
both of them returned
to the BJP fold.
They are BJP’s stal-
wart Ghanshyam Ti-
wari and Rajya Sabha
MP Kirodi Lal Meena.
Both Meena and Ti-
wari are had a long con-
versation over a cup of
tea on Saturday. What
happened in the meet-
ing, only they know but
this meeting has defi-
nitely left a political
message. Now a days,
Kirodi is attacking the
govt in his old style. In
the REET paper leak
case, he cornered the
govt in such a way that
the REET level-2 exam
had to be postponed. On
the other hand, Ghan-
shyam Tiwari is once
again seen active in
Sanganer, his old con-
stituency
.
His meeting with old
workers and close ones
are going on so that the
ground can be strength-
ened before the polls.

PRISON REFORMS
ARE NEED OF THE
HOUR, AND SC
SHOWS THE WAY
he Supreme Court
has taken a big step
towards the much-
needed prison re-
forms in the country
.
A bench of Justices Sanjay Kis-
han Kaul and MM Sundresh em-
phasised on government and
courts adopting a reformative
approach by allowing bail to
those who have spent 10-14 years
in jail while serving a life term.
Remittingtheirsentencecanalso
be considered, the bench said.
The approach will help reform a
prisonerandalsoreducethehigh
number of pendency of cases.
The Supreme Court observed
that the poor and underprivi-
leged languish in jail, while the
rich and influential can secure
bail and also escape the law by
fleeing the country
.
While the government has to
take the call on remission of sen-
tence, High Courts have to be
more responsive towards the
plight of prisoners whose cases
often don’t come up for hearing
for months and that skews the
disposal rate. The order will go a
long way in alleviating the plight
of prisoners.
T
ermany is getting
all the flak for be-
ing Europe’s weak
link in its re-
sponse to Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine. Former
defence minister A. Kramp-
Karrenbauer tweeted, “I’m so
angry at ourselves for our
historical failure. After Geor-
gia, Crimea, and Donbas, we
have not prepared anything
that would have really de-
terred Putin.” On the contra-
ry, Germany’s navy chief
Vice-Admiral Kay-Achim
Schonbach while visiting In-
dia spoke in favour of Rus-
sian President Vladimir Pu-
tin “should be given the re-
spect he deserves”. He also
said that Crimea may not go
back to Ukraine. Schonbach
had to resign after making
that statement.
Some hesitancy on the part
of Germany is being felt in its
response to the Ukraine crisis
and that, as Latvia’s defence
minister Artis Pabrik said,
“Europeansecuritycannotbe
done without a leading Ger-
man role”. German Chancel-
lor Olaf Scholz recently ruled
out providing lethal weapons
to Ukraine while aligning
himself with other EU poli-
cies. Instead of weapons, Ber-
lin reportedly offered to send
5,000helmetsandmedicalaid.
It is not known if the helmets
are going to be bullet proof.
Germany is being guided
by a feeling of guilt and its
“historicalresponsibility”for
World War II and its cata-
strophic effect on Russia.
Lakhsof Russianswerekilled

by the Third Reich. If, howev-
er, Germany longs for “his-
toric reconciliation” with
Russia, it has to do the same
withUkrainewhichremained
under the occupation of the
Third Reich from 1941-42.
Berlin’s passive response
to the Ukraine crisis makes
it a weak link in the Europe-
an Union.

My dear Natwar,
I was so glad to read your letter of 22 November.
I shall indeed be very glad if you can get me the N.Y.T review of your
anthology
. I have not yet received the copy of the book from the publish-
ers. Sea mail takes more time.
I am not surprised you so much like the service
under Smt. Indira Gandhi. She is splendidly endowed
with all the graces of a good civilized lady
. She grew
up under the example of her gracious father.
I can never forget the moving gesture of her affec-
tion when she came and received my daughter at the
Delhi railway station (Mrs. Devadas Gandhi), when
I took her to Delhi from Bombay after she unexpect-
edly and cruelly lost her husband. Indira Gandhi whom I did not expect
was at the station and led my daughter to the car like a sister. The touch
was a consolation both to her and to me. This was August 1957, when I
had already begun openly and severely to criticise Jawaharlalji.
Yours Sincerely

My dear Natwar,
Thank you so much for your letter of the 3rd February
.
How nice of you to have talked to President Kaunda about the Unit-
ed World College. In your letter you say, “Sir Ian’s
material arrived just in time. KK was interested in
the project. As I did not wish to add to his paper work
I took the liberty of telling him that you would be
writing to him. He was delighted.”
This is slightly ambiguous to me because I am not
sure whether you left behind the material which Ian
Gourlay had given you, with the President, or wheth-
er you want me to send a new lot of material to the
President. In any case, I imagine it is best not to worry him about this
until shortly before his visit in the summer, as then I can ask for an
interview to discuss it all with him.
I can also discuss all this with the Prince of Wales, who really is now
in charge.
With best wishes to you and Hem.
Yours ever,

Since dictating the above I have had your second letter and have

Germany, either on the evening of 6th or the morning
of 7th September.
I look forward very much to seeing you then

My dear Natwar,
So the world’s largest democracy has chosen a woman to lead! Indu’s
election has made history- I hope and pray she may be given the wis-
dom. At present the nation is jubilant but when the first excitement
wears off, the usual criticism and fault finding will
begin. It is then that she must be tolerant and have
safe counsel.
The air is thick with rumour about the new cabi-
net and the names will be known to you long before
you receive this letter. I do not know who Indu’s con-
fidants are, except of course, Uma Shankar Dikshit
who has been ‘Eminence Grise’ for many years. But
whoever advises, I hope for the sake of the country
the advice is just and sound.
We are facing a crisis of great magnitude, not only matters like food,
Tashkent etc., but the physiological crisis which has us in its grip and
needs the full hand and far seeing vision of a read leader____________
26th. I was interrupted and now the new Government is in power. A
definitely right-wing government and one over which the establishment
will have some control. I hope Indu gets cooperation and support.
The manner in which the world has hailed the election has been most
heart-warming.
This is the stranger letter- do forgive me. I am now in Bombay help-
ing Tara to move into her flat. I shall return in time for parliament.
Write when opportunity offers.
Love and good wishes
(Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit)

My dear Natwar,
What a joy it was being with you in Delhi. I miss you badly, I tell you.
Have you no business which can bring you to Mysore?
I used to be hopeless letter writer before, but now I promise improve-
ment. I am going to write to you as often as I hear from you, and if I
don’t hear from you I will always leave one at credit.
I want some more copies of the photo with the
P.M., preferably some that include Indira, and the
negative of my picture. Could you manage all this?
Iwouldhesitatetobotheranyoneaboutphotographs,
but the occasion is special and I feel I can take this
liberty with you. Thank you.
Did you manage that piece for The Hindustan
Times? How did it go?
I am in torment about the choice of a theme for my next novel. I am
thinking of a new subject each day and rejecting it after a few hours
of enthusiastic speculation. The most acceptable seems to be Woman-
eater of Malgudi!
Please give my remembrance to Deep (An intimate friend of mine.

confidants are, except of course, Uma Shankar Dikshit who has been

Bengaluru (PTI): The
murder of a 27-year-old
Bajrang Dal activist
Harsha Hindu in the
city of Shivamogga in
Karnataka by a gang of
armed men on Febru-
ary 20 is being current-
ly viewed by police as a
localised crime stem-
ming from a long-stand-
ing communal rivalry,
even as investigations
are looking closely at
how the gang of 10 peo-
ple who have been ar-
rested so far assembled
to carry out the murder.
All the arrested indi-
viduals have been sent
to police custody till
March 7 by a local court.
The timing of the
murder of the right-
wing activist, who has
antagonised Muslims
in the region in the past
with derogatory re-
marks against Islam on
social media, amid the
ongoing protests over
restrictions on wearing
the hijab by Muslim
girls in schools and col-
leges is also under po-
lice scrutiny
.
“There is no immedi-
ate motive that has
emerged from the inves-
tigations into the mur-
der. It seems to be part
of a long rivalry be-
tween Hindutva gangs
and Muslim gangs in
the area,” a senior po-
lice official said while
indicating that further
investigations are on.
Harsha Nagaraj alias
Harsha Hindu was
murdered on the night
of February 20 in the
Doddapet police station
limits of Shivamogga
after he left home to
have dinner at a restau-
rant with a couple of
friends. A gang that
was lying in wait in a
car and an auto rick-
shaw hacked the Ba-
jrang Dal worker to
death with swords
when he got separated
from his associates for
a while. Shivamogga
witnessed a brief spell
of violence the next
morning when Har-
sha’s funeral proces-
sion was taken out.
The investigation so
far has allegedly re-
vealed that the main
accused Mohammed
Kashif (30), who was
reportedly identified
by witnesses at the
crime scene and was
detained a few hours
after the murder,
brought together the
gang that was involved
in the murder.
K’taka: Investigation bespeaks local gang rivalries
BAJRANG DAL ACTIVIST MURDER
Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: The
Bharatiya Janata Par-
ty is worried about
Maharashtra. It seems
that it has not being
able to digest the joint
government of Shiv
Sena, NCP and Con-
gress, termed the
Maha Vikas Agadi
(MVA) in Maharash-
tra. At first the BJP
tried to form the gov-
ernment in some way
and when it did not get
success, and MVA gov-
ernment was formed,
thereafter, from day
one, the Maharashtra
BJP leaders have been
giving deadlines by
which, according to
them, the MVA gov-
ernment will fall. That
is why it seems that
along with the politi-
cal efforts of the BJP,
the efforts of some
other ‘power centres’
have also intensified.
First Home Minister
Anil Deshmukh was
arrested and now
Nawab Malik has been
arrested by the ED.
Apart from these, the
sword is hanging on
about a dozen minis-
ters, MLAs, MPs in-
cluding Shiv Sena MP
Sanjay Raut.
Three days ago, BJP
leader and senior cen-
tral government min-
ister Narayan Rane
had said that the ED’s
notice is ready against
four leaders of Maha-
vikas Aghadi. Think,
he said and in three
days the ED team
reached the place of a
senior minister with a
notice and arrested
him too. The question
is, how did Narayan
Rane know about the
preparations of the
ED? Maybe his ‘extra
knowledge’ of the
functioning of central
agencies in Mumbai
region. Notably, Shiv
Sena’s powerful MP
Sanjay Raut had ac-
cused only a few days
back those central
agencies are being
misused against the
state government!
However, on one
hand the central agen-
cies are after the min-
isters and leaders of
the state and on the
other hand the state
government agencies
are taking action
against the central
government ministers
and BJP leaders. BMC
officials have also
probed the alleged il-
legal construction of
Narayan Rane’s bun-
galow in Juhu. Sanjay
Raut has said that sep-
arate rooms is being
prepared in the jail for
four big leaders of BJP.
Word is that the state’s
Anti-Corruption Bu-
reau (ACB), state po-
lice and Brihanmum-
bai Municipal Corpo-
ration (BMC) officials
are preparing the files
of BJP leaders.
The way the state
agencies harassed the
BJP leaders in West
Bengal against the ac-
tion of the central
agencies, similarly
preparations are being
made in Maharashtra
to take action. In this
way, it may be the be-
ginning of another un-
fortunate chapter in
the relationship of the
Centre and the Maha-
rashtra government.
YOU HIT ME, I HIT YOU: THE NEW AGE POLITICAL
MANTRA OF CENTRE AND MAHA GOVERNMENT!
Balrampur (PTI): Con-
gress general secretary
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra
on Saturday blamed the
politics of caste and reli-
gion for the ‘dismal’
state of affairs in Uttar
Pradesh and said the
non-Congress govern-
ments for three decades
haddonenothingexcept
tall claims of develop-
ment.
The Congress leader
also took a swipe at
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi saying how he
could remain ignorant
to the raging stray cattle
menace faced by the
farmers of the state.
“UP could have pro-
gressed but there are
only advertisements on
which the BJP is spend-
ing crores of rupees.
The CM, PM all are of
the BJP but nothing is
here in the name of de-
velopment, why has
such a situation
emerged, and its direct
answer is that since the
past 30 years, it has been
politics in the name of
caste and religion,” Pri-
yanka said at an elec-
tion meeting in Pani-
yara.
She said the BSP, SP
and the BJP were able to
form governments only
by “exploiting the emo-
tions” of the people over
caste and religion, and
hence, the state did not
see development.
“Forsuchastateof af-
fairs, you all are also at
faultasyouhavemadeit
their(leaders)habitthat
there is no need to work.
You will vote by closing
your eyes on emotional
issues even if your chil-
dren remain unem-
ployed,” Priyanka said
addressing the voters.

Taking a dig at Sama-

ilesh Yadav, Bharatiya

tionalpresidentJPNa-
dda on Saturday said
that to end mafia raj
and eliminate terror-
ists in Uttar Pradesh
and maintain law and
order in the state it is
necessary “to make
Akhilesh sit at home”.
Addressing a public
meeting in Uttar
Pradesh’s Kushinagar,
theBJPnationalpresi-
dent asked the people
to end the mafia raj or
not? Do they want to
eliminate terrorists in
Uttar Pradesh or not?
“If all this is to end
and rule of law is to be
maintained in the
state then it is neces-
sary to make Akhilesh
sit at home,” said Na-
dda. Nadda said under
PrimeMinisterNaren-
dra Modi and state
chief minister Yogi
Adityanath’s policies,
BJP has played a spe-
cialroleinthedevelop-
ment of UP state.
“Under the leader-
ship of PM Modi and
due to the policies of
Yogi Adityanath, BJP
has played a special
role in the develop-
mentof UttarPradesh.
No other party has the
power to keep the re-
port card of its work
done in front of the
public, only BJP has
this power,” he noted.
Balrampur (PTI):
Samajwadi Party
president Akhilesh
Yadav on Saturday
said the Uttar Pradesh
Assembly polls are for
saving democracy and
the country’s Consti-
tution, which will be
“destroyed” by the
BJP if it returns to
power in the State.
In an apparent jibe
at Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, Mr.
Yadav said though the
BJP government talks
about sabka saath,
sabka vikas, its people
are backward only in
documents and not by
birth. “These elec-
tions are for saving
democracy and the
Constitution,” he said.
“If the BJP comes to
power, it will destroy
both,” Mr. Yadav al-
leged in an election
rally in Balrampur.
Attacking the rul-
ing party over law and
order, Mr. Yadav said
the maximum custo-
dial deaths have taken
place under their gov-
ernment. “Even an
IPS officer is abscond-
ing in a case of illegal
recovery and his ar-
rest is yet to be made,”
he said.
Attacking Chief
Minister Yogi Adity-
anath, Mr. Yadav said
he calls him a “rioter”
but doesn’t see his
own face in the mir-
ror. The BJP govern-
ment is making tall
claims about giving
free ration to the poor
but the scheme will be
stopped after March,
Mr. Yadav said.
Guwahati (Agencies):
Ahead of the first phase
of assembly polls in Ma-
nipur, Chief Minister N
Biren Singh has said
that five years of his
government in the state
has ensured peace
which has laid the foun-
dation for the repeal of
the Armed Forces (Spe-
cial Powers) Act (AFS-
PA) in the future. This
statement comes at a
time when the BJP has
been criticised for its
silence over AFSPA in
its campaign and mani-
festo. All other leading
political parties in the
fray have pitched the re-
peal of AFSPA as a key
poll promise in Ma-
nipur.
“We have a sensitive
border with Myanmar.
So, the Centre has to be
convinced before lift-
ing AFSPA. The peace
talks process with re-
bel groups will pave the
way for this. The state
government will have
to create the ground
situation, and for the
last five years, we have
been working towards
it,” the CM said.
Bengaluru (PTI): Amid
the raging Hijab contro-
versy in Karnataka,
VicePresidentVenkaiah
Naidu on Saturday said
unnecessary controver-
sies should not be en-
couraged and students
should be guided by the
school uniform.
“Unnecessary contro-
versies should not be
encouraged like the con-
troversy going on in
Karnataka. In a school,
you are all guided by the
school uniform, what-
ever uniform it is,” Vice
President Naidu said af-
ter inaugurating the in-
door sports arena and
L’atelier at a private
school in Bengaluru.
Underlining the need
to realise the beauty of
diverse Indian culture,
the Vice President said,

Kolkata: Trinamool
Congress president and
West Bengal Chief Min-
ister Mamata Banerjee
will hold the second
meeting of her party’s
newly formed National
Working Committee in

constituted a working
committee of 20 mem-
bers after being elected
the party president for
the third time in a row.
This working commit-
teeissimilartotheCWC

ta has included most of
the senior leaders of the
party in this. Although
many MPs of the party
like Derek O’Brien, Sau-
gata Roy
, Mohua Moitra,
Sushmita Deb etc. are
not included in the
working committee.
State officials and state
government ministers
have also been given a
place in this.
Mamata is coming to
Delhi with all of them
and has called a meet-
ing of the working
committee on March
10. After that she will
stay in Delhi for two-
three days.
Keep in mind that
from March 14, the sec-
ond part of the budget
session of Parliament
is starting. Before that,
she would sit in Delhi
and try to engage in
the politics of forming
a federal front against
the central govern-
ment. It will be her ef-
fort that she should
meet the Chief Minis-
ters of other regional
parties at the same
time. Tamil Nadu
Chief Minister MK
Stalin had talked about
meeting all the Chief
Ministers in Delhi,
therefore, perhaps
Mamata is coming to
Delhi only for that
meeting.

across the country IPR
(intellectual property

become more relevant
than ever before.
Provisions for
stronger enforcement
and action against in-
fringement are the
need of the hour.
Awareness campaigns,
especially in rural ar-
eas, are required to be
undertaken. There
have been a few suc-
cess stories like
Darjeeling tea
and Chanderi
silk. These
success sto-
ries need to
be stud-

i n
other GIs (Geographi-

well. With the start-
ups coming up in a big
way across the country
driven by innovative
youth, this field of law
has become more rele-
vant than ever before,
the CJI said at the Na-
tional Seminar on the
adjudication of IPR
disputes in India in
New Delhi.
The CJI said when-
ever entrepreneurs and
hosts around the world
ask him as to how in-
vestor-friendly the In-
dian judicial system is,
his answer has always
remained the same;
that the Indian judici-
ary is absolutely inde-
pendent and it always
treats all the parties
equally and equitably.

AMID RUSSIA-UKRAINE CRISIS
PM CALLS UPON PRIVATE FIRMS TO
ENTER MEDICAL SECTOR IN BIG WAY
New Delhi (PTI): Not-
ing that Indian students
have been going to
many small countries
for medical education
despite the language
barrier, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi on Sat-
urday urged the private
sector to make a big
presence in the field.
Speaking after inau-
gurating a webinar on
the Union budget an-
nouncements on the
health sector, Modi sug-
gested that state govern-
ments should also for-
mulate good policies for
land allotment for medi-
cal education so that In-
dia could produce a
large number of doctors
and paramedics to fulfil
even global demand.
His remarks assume
significance at a time
when a large number of
Indian students, many
of them studying medi-
cine, have been stuck in
Ukraine following the
Russian attack on that
country
.
Modi made no direct
mention of the crisis
though. The prime min-
ister said Indian stu-
dents going abroad for
study, especially in
medical education, also
result in hundreds of
billions of rupees exit-
ing the country as well.
Our children today
are going to small coun-
tries for study, especial-
ly in medical education.
Language is a problem
there. They are still go-
ing...Can our private
sector not enter this
field in a big way? Can
our state governments
not frame good policies
for land allotment re-
garding this, he asked.
India can benefit a lot
from its demographic
dividend in this field,
he said, adding Indian
doctors have enhanced
the country's prestige
across the world in the
last many decades with
their work.
In the webinar, Modi
also highlighted his
government's efforts to
provide quality health
as well as wellness ser-
vices to people with its
holistic approach to the
healthcare system.

Pali:The struggle of
farmers has been going
on for many years re-

pollution from the tex-
tile industries of Pali
which release the pol-
luted water from their
factories in the Bandi
river. Through the Ban-
di river, the polluted
chemical water reaches
farmers’ land and turns
them barren. Hence, by
taking refuge in the Ra-
jasthan High Court, the
Kisan Paryavaran
Sangharsh Samiti had
filed a petition in 2014
where the farmers had
listed their problems in
the petition. The Ra-

the matter to the Na-

judgment after 8 years

Jaipur: Senior IAS of-
ficer Chairman MD
of Rajasthan Roadways,
Sandeep Verma has
posed a big challenge to
the ‘power’ of UDH
Minister Shanti Dhari-
wal as the Chairman of
JDA. According to Ver-
ma, JDA Act is being
violated through the
orders given by Dhari-
wal as JDA Chairman.
Verma is a member
of the committee and
he attended the meet-
ing. During discussion
on various agendas,
Verma raised many
questions on the work-
ing of JDA. After the
meeting, Verma sent a
letter to JDA Commis-
sioner Gaurav Goyal
saying that the com-
ments made in letter
should be included in
the ‘Minutes of the
Meeting.’
In the letter, Verma
has challenged the pow-
er of Dhariwal as JDA
Chairman. “Dhariwal
is not a member of
JDA’s Executive Com-
mittee and other com-
mittees. Despite this, he
himself has become the
undeclared Chairman
of committees and is
making efforts through
his order dated 15.4.19
to revise the minutes of
committee meetings be-
fore their release,” Ver-
ma’s letter mentioned
adding that doing so is
a clear violation of pro-
visions of the JDA Act.
“It is unfair to amend
a decision before it is is-
sued,” the letter further
added. The IAS officer
also advised JDA Com-
missioner to stop this
“alleged unfair process
with immediate effect
inform Dhariwal.”
“Files of tender ap-
proval are directly be-
ing sent to Dhariwal for
approval without Ex-
ecutive Committee’s de-
cision. JDA Chairman
has no power, under
Section 4 of JDA Act, to
approve or disapprove
the tender without
Committee’s nod,” Ver-
ma said. Verma also
talked about ignoring
the law rules in many
meeting agendas. Ac-
cording to Verma, the
Rajasthan Transparen-
cy in Public Procure-
ment (RTPP) Act and its
rules were not followed.
Now, the question
arises whether JDA will
be able to include Ver-
ma’s comments in the
‘Minutes of the Meet-
ing?’
IAS Verma throws down the gauntlet to UDH Minister Dhariwal!
‘Govt to discuss
issue on March 2’
JAVADEKAR,
PRASAD
GANGWAR MAY GET
GOVERNORSHIP!
Union Minister San-
tosh Gangwar’s
spirit was broken be-
cause he couldn’t get
ticket for his daughter
evenaftertoilinghardin
theUPpolls.Disappoint-
ment grew to such an
extent that Gangwar di-
rectly called BJP’s num-
ber two Amit Shah say-
ing, “I am an eight-time
MP
,butcouldn’tevenget
mydaughteraticket.”If
sources are to be be-
lieved, Shah consoled
him saying, “don’t lose
yourheart,wearethink-
ing of something big for
you, you start preparing
to head to Raj Bhavan.”
At once, all the sadness
wasremovedfromGang-
war’s face. After UP
, let’s
go to Patna. Ex- Union
Minister Ravi Shankar
Prasad after losing his
chair, was active in
Sangh’s various pro-
grammes. He was ad-
vised to distance him-
self from political fo-
rums, because he could
getanimportantrespon-
sibility
, which may be
non-political, but consti-
tutional. Speculations
are rife that the soft-spo-
ken ex- Union Minister,
Prakash Javadekar has
also got a hint that he
can be made Governor
of an important state.
WILL THE
COMMAND OF BJP
BE IN SHAH’S
HANDS AGAIN?
After March 10, the
BJP intends to
change CMs of three
states i.e. Karnataka,
Himachal and Tripu-
ra. According to
sources, Amit Shah
himself,inaconver-
sationwithSangh’s
top leaders, ad-
mitted that
only JP
N a -
dda can save BJP in
Himachal. If Nadda does
indeed move to Shimla,
Shah may once again be-
come BJP’s National
President. However, Kar-
nataka CM Bommai has
pleaded with PM and
Shah that ‘Super CM of
K’taka i.e. BL Santosh
sits in Delhi and takes all
important decisions so
Bommai has nothing
muchlefttodo.Afterthis
the PM sarcastically told
Santosh, “We changed 3
CMs in Uttarakhand
its fate is for everyone to
see. So now don’t convert
Karnataka into Uttara-
khand. As for Tripura,
young CM Biplab Deb is
facing opposition from
his MLAs.
WHY IS DIDI SO
ANGRY WITH
PK?
It is believed
that these
days Mamta
Banerjee is not
even happy
w i t h
Prashant
Kishor.
The rift
between these two has
grownsobig thaton Ab-
hishek Banerjee’s ad-
vice, PK has left Kolkata
and is focusing on Delhi.
It is said that this rift
started with municipal
polls in Bengal. Mamta
had entrusted this work
to PK. When PK visited
Bagdogra, he met
Gorkha leaders of Dar-
jeeling there and with-
out asking Didi, he
promised them that
TMC would leave some
seats of Siliguri Munici-
palCorporationforthem
and will not field its can-
didates on these seats.
Mamata went furious on
this. In view of Kolkata
civic polls, WB’s Local
Intelligence Unit com-
plainedMamtathatthey
havebeenaskedformon-
ey in lieu of tickets.
Mamata immediately
cancelled list issued a
newone.PKwasalsoan-
noyed by this and sent
an SMS to Mamta that it
would be difficult for
him to work in these cir-
cumstances, to which
Mamata replied, ‘Ok’.
PK’s OVERWHELMING
AMBITIONS!
Prashant Kishor, the
country’s famous
election strategist,
called upon Telangana
CM K Chandrashekhar
Rao recently
. The meet-
ing lasted for a long
time that led to specula-
tions that the work of
TRS poll campaign was
given to PK’s company
‘IPAC’. After this, when
Chandrashekhar Rao
met Maharashtra
CM Uddhav
Thackeray, Ud-
dhav asked,
“These days you
have started
making state-
m e n t s
ag ainst
M o d i ,
h a v e
y o u
hired PK? Rao replied
sarcastically, “Our ship
is very small, how will
he (PK) fit in it? He is
considering himself as
PM contender in 2029.”
An uneasy silence pre-
vailed thereafter.
AAP’S AKALI LOVE!
Reliablesourcesclose
to AAP reveal that
the day when polls were
to be conducted in Pun-
jab, Raghav Chaddha,
Arvind Kejriwal’s close
aid, called up Akali lead-
erBikramSinghMajith-
ia and told him that he
was doing very well in
theelections.“Yourelec-
tion has picked up a lot
in last five days. Our
thought process lead-
ership are almost the
same. AAP can nei-
thergowithCon-
gress nor with
BJP
, but we can
talk with Akali
Dal. If such a
situation arises
on March 10,
t h e n
b o t h
t h e
par-
ties can work on the for-
mula of two-and-a-half
years.” However, AAP’s
CM face Bhagwant
Mann has claimed that
even if Akali Dal, BJP
Captainjoinhands,then
alsotheycan’tform gov-
ernment in Punjab.
PRIYANKA’S
FRANKNESS!
Ajournalist in Luc-
know recently
asked her saying, ‘Is the
Congress’ own informa-
tion system so shabby
that party’s big leaders
leave it and join the BJP
,
but the high command
doesn’t even know about
it?’ Priyanka replied,
“This is politics, people
will come and go. But
she is very angry with
two people, one the son
of Madhav Rao ji who
toppled Congress gov-
ernmentinMPtoswitch
to the BJP
. About RPN,
shealreadyknewthathe
wasplayinginthehands
of the BJP
, in collabora-
tion with Banna Gupta,
a minister in the Soren
government, he was
trying to destabi-
lize the Congress-
backed govern-
ment in
Jharkhand.Bothof
them contacted
some dozen Con-
g r e s s
MLAs
a n d
asked them to join the
BJP
. When I came to
know about this, I spoke
toRPNmyself,andasked
him ‘Does he want to
join BJP?’ but RPN flatly
refused.Threedayslater,
he called the AICC office
four times and said that
heowedthepartyRs1.10
lakh on account of air-
fare, etc. So, it should be
cleared immediately
.
When this matter came
to my notice, I asked the
accounts people to clear
his accounts immedi-
ately
. Because I knew
that now he is not going
to stop.”
...AND FINALLY
If sources are to be be-
lieved, Amit Shah
called up Harsimrat
Kaur on the day of vot-
ing in Punjab at around
8 am. It is said that Shah
told ex- Union Minister
HarsimratKaur“Iknow
thatyoudo‘Paath’inthe
morning, that’s why I
have called you now. I
daily drink the juice of
the Kinnus that you had
sent from your
farm. This
time the Kin-
nu are sweet-
er than last
time.” The
conversation
ended with a
talk on
‘meet-
ing.’

ueen of pageantry,
Vasudha shared her
journey, from talent
rounds to workshops.
She glammed the
stage with her beauti-
ful looks and bold per-
sonality
. Vasudha is also work-
ing with her mother in the
child development centre Vid-
hya Aditi Foundation and re-
cently won many hearts with
the title for the First Runner
Up in Elite Miss Rajasthan.
When asked about her jour-
ney
, the diva said, “My journey
has been a roller coaster. My
parents were opposed to the
glamour industry, and con-
vincing them of my modelling
profession was the most diffi-
cult challenge I faced. Model-
ling, in their opinion, is not a
long-term job, but I was able to
persuade them by accepting
their terms. They had asked
me to join the family business
to pursue modelling.”
“But this is not the end of
the struggles. I was completely
new to this fashion world;
learning it from the scratch
was very difficult, but that did
not stop me from following my
dreams,” she added. On her
inspiration, she said, “I look
up to my mom as she is one of
the most hardworking and dis-
ciplined people I have ever
known. At the age of 25, I was
reluctant and scared to start
my modelling career, but she
guided me through this rough
time. She always taught me
one thing ‘if you have the
spark and the confidence no
one can stop you from achiev-
ing your desired goals”.
The diva shared that “In the
future, I want to pursue model-
ling and make a career out of
it. Participating and winning
Elite Miss Rajasthan was a
dream come true. It was a
breakthrough in my model-
ling career. It is my dream to
always work in front of the
camera. I am grateful to my
mentor Gaurav Gaur for his
supportandguidancethrough-
out the Miss Rajasthan Jour-
ney
. I would also like to express
my gratitude to Akansha Bhal-
la ma’am for always motivat-
ing us to work hard and to
push our limits”.

As the summer
tiptoes in, we rush to
embrace the colours
of spring and the sun-
kissed flowers find an
echo in our very own
hearts. City First
brings to you colours,
fashion and hues to
celebrate the incoming
Spring so that the
amazing flowers
which are in bloom
everywhere are in your
heart and soul too!
If ever there were a spring day so perfect,
so uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze
that it made you want to throw
open all the windows in the house
and unlatch the door to the canary's cage,
indeed, rip the little door from its jamb,
a day when the cool brick paths
and the garden bursting with peonies
seemed so etched in sunlight
that you felt like taking
a hammer to the glass paperweight
on the living room end table,
releasing the inhabitants
from their snow-covered cottage
so they could walk out,
holding hands and squinting
into this larger dome of blue and white,
well, today is just that kind of day.

Embrace the desi
look with a boldly
patterned flower
lehenga. The
browns are muted
due to the large and
bold bright magenta
flowers and the
dupatta, add silver
jhumkis and a braid
to complete the
aesthetic desi look.
Blue and white
are not colours
normally
associated with
spring but can
there be anything
more spring-like
than these artful
flowers and
leaves? Put a
sprig in your hair
and be ready to
usher in the
season!
Team up a long floral
open kurta with
‘forever’ blue jeans
and you are ready to
rock the world.
Capture the perfect spring
look, white with scattered
coloured patterns, bow-ties
spaghetti with loose flowing
summery palazzo pants.
Off shoulder floral dresses
and crop tops with flare
pants are totally a Spring
look and the printed tribal
border aces the look!
A plain pastel saree
with embroidered
flower motifs,
teamed with a
bralette and you are
more than ready for
a formal dinner to
welcome the spring!
A peach lehenga
with a focus on
green gives it a
bold look and
green dupatta
highlights it,
making it both a
day evening wear.
Celebrate the
power of red as
you ‘spring’ it
with white
flowers. The
spaghetti start
with side slit
and open
sandals make it
perfect.
If you have time,
then ace a special
occasion by
‘Twinning-it’ with
your beloved, carry
it off with panache.
You simply can’t go wrong in
a pastel georgette saree with
lightly coloured flowers
sprinkled all over with fine
gold border and the backless
blouse, hold the look!
Grace your simple green
kurta with a coloured flowery
scarf to add a summerish
spring look to your outfit!
Go for it with a
cream formal
dress with
English grey
and yellow
leaf-flower
print, with cut
sleeves and a
faux side bow.
Men carry off spring flowery
designs as well as women!
Add the oomph factor for an
occasion and go all out with
flowery Indian ensemble and
the plain jackets.
