Prime Minister Narendra Modi
MODI: LIVING FOR THE
POOR, LEARNING FOR SELF!
ignesh Shah, a BJP leader from Gujarat
brings to us several anecdotes about our be-
lovedPM.Herecallsinstancesfromhisinter-
actionswithModijiatapersonallevel.These
memories of Modiji as shared by Jignesh
Shah paint a clear picture of a world leader
who is guided by divine providence and is
incredibly pure and wise. The kind of love
andpopularitythatPMModienjoysisdueto
his extensive knowledge, his magnanimous
heart and his unstinting support to all those
inneed.Hisuncannyabilitytokeepaheadof
the times and his perspectives on technology
that treat it not as a barrier but as a great fa-
cilitator,makeshimtheidolof ayoungIndia!
In1995-96whenourfirstgovtwasformed,
there was a five-day meeting in Chharodi.
I came in contact with Modiji at a personal
level and even as I recollect my interaction
with Modiji of those years, I am filled with
emotion. His persona has always been that
of an extremely emotional and a simple
person who harbours and nurtures feel-
ings of compassion for his fellow mates.
Once it happened during that 4 day long
session that all mins were within the prem-
ises for a meeting and their drivers were
sitting outside. Modiji came to me and gave
his special standing instruction to me “Al-
ways serve food to the drivers first”. He
stated a simple reason that supported this
instruction. He explained to me that since
the drivers are always moving around with
us, whether it is day or night and their duty
is extremely tough, they need to be taken
care of. They do a selfless service for us
which goes much beyond their call of duty
.
The salary the drivers receive is not ade-
quate reward for their devotion. Therefore,
we should keep their needs foremost in our
mind. Where do we find a world leader so
acutely aware of the difficulties of the coo-
mon man? I was really very fortunate to
have got a chance to know Modiji’s thought-
process and ideology from a closer angle.
Not just this, we also could see that Modi-
ji possessed a deep know-how of technology
and had a keen foresight when it came to
technicalapplications.Heusedtoliveinone
of the rooms of Maninagar RSS Bhawan at
that time. One day he asked me if I had a
tech-savvy friend who could help him
get a computer. I said I had one, Anil
Patel, who had a tech business.
Anil is in Canada now. Well I ar-
ranged for a meeting between
Narendraji and my friend
and I must admit, I was in
awe of Modiji when I wit-
nessed him interacting with
Anil. Modiji held a discussion
withAnilPatelfornearlyhalf
an hour pertaining to comput-
ers. I am talking about an era
which can easily be termed as
the dawn of the computer age in
India. Computers was a new sub-
jectinourcountryanditwasextremelyrare
tofindsomeonepossessingsuchdeepknowl-
edge of computers. Also people of Modiji’s
ageinthosedayswerenotusuallyinterested
in this field, and one could forget about dis-
cussing the subject at length with someone.
Well, after talking through the intrica-
cies of computer applications, Modiji
asked Anil if he would mind getting him a
computer. Anil agreed readily and then
Modiji worked on it, learning more about
computer applications. In the 90’s era wit-
nessing a well-known leader display such
interest and ability at computers was a
clear inspiration for me.
I also recall another motivating aspect of
his personality
. His room at Maninagar RSS
Bhawan was 10 feet by 10 feet. In the middle
of theroomwashisbed.Andbelievemeyou,
when I used to visit him, I could see that he
was engulfed within a sea of books. He had
stacked up books up to a height of 6 feet
around the bed and in the middle of this
ocean of knowledge, Modiji used to be seat-
ed, always engrossed in deep study
. On his
forehead, there used to be the white mark of
purity
, which is the chandan leip (sandal-
wood paste) as we know it. That vision of
Modiji, a simple man wearing a dhoti, his
face resplendent in the light of wisdom, his
physical presence like that of an ascetic, a
divine light shone on him as he sat in middle
of a room on a bed surrounded with innu-
merable books touching ceiling – well, it is
notpossibleforanyonewhohasbeenwitness
to that vision to remove it from his living
memory! Such was the aura, power, I would
say a magnetic pull, of Modiji’s persona.
I only consider myself extremely fortu-
nate because this visage, this divine ap-
pearance, manifested itself to me during
those 4 days! And I can say it with convic-
tion, in fact I have no doubt about it, what
Modiji is doing for our country and the
world, he is doing it because he is inspired
by some divine force. Our PM is no ordi-
nary mortal. All his actions are guided by
a calling that goes much deeper and all his
works are invariably imbued with the fra-
grance of spirituality and wisdom.

here were about 32-35 ministers in

Modiji selected me as a karyakarta. That

days. I came in contact with Modiji at a

interaction with Modiji of those years, I
am filled with emotion.

Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: It seems
that the Congress party
has fallen alone in Ma-
harashtra. In the Rajya
Sabha elections, its can-
didate Imran Pratap-
garhi won, but the sec-
ond Congress candidate
could not win in the
Legislative Council
elections. The first can-
didate and Mumbai Re-
gional Congress Presi-
dent Bhai Jagtap also
won in the second
round of counting.
Even in his victory, less
of the party and his
own influence came in
handy. Congress has 44
MLAs but got only 41
votes. This means that
three MLAs did cross
voting. The question is,
where did these three
MLAs go? Did they vote
for BJP or go for NCP in
alliance? Keep in mind
that voting in the Legis-
lative Council elections
was done by secret bal-
lot. However, informed
sources say that the
leaders of both Shiv
Sena and NCP are an-
gry with the aggressive
politics of party’s state
president Nana Patole
and Mumbai regional
Congress president
Bhai Jagtap. Sharad Pa-
war’s party is more an-
gry because it feels that
the Congress is getting
OBC votes through
Nana Patole. Till now,
Chhagan Bhujbal of
NCP was considered to
be the biggest OBC lead-
er in the alliance. But
now it is not so. Second,
all the old Congress
leaders are either mar-
ginalized or deliberate-
ly kept silent. Even the
old system of communi-
cation was not working.
The old and traditional
leaders of the Congress
have been sidelined.

the Agniveer recruitment reform must be contextualised

AAMIR KHAN
DONATES RS 25 L
FROM WHERE DID PAWAR
GARNER FIVE VOTES?
Mahesh Sharma
Mumbai: In the elec-
tions held for the 10
seats of the Legislative
Council in Maharash-
tra, after the BJP, it is
the NCP that had the
best performance. Al-
though the NCP has 53
MLAs in the Assembly,
two of its MLAs - Anil
Deshmukh and Nawab
Malik - are in jail, who
were not allowed to cast
their votes. Thus its ef-
fective strength of
MLAs is 51. Despite
this, its two candidates
got 56 votes in the Leg-
islative Council elec-
tions. First candidate
Eknath Khadse got 29
votes and second candi-
date Ramraje Nim-
balkar got 27 votes. So
the question really is,
from where did Pawar’s
party juggle five extra
votes? After the elec-
tion, Eknath Khadse
said that his old friends
in BJP did cross-voting
for him. Keep in mind
that Khadse was in the
BJP in the past but his
claim is not entirely
true.
BJP leaders have not
done cross voting. Had
BJP leaders done cross-
voting, the number of
votes polled by its five
candidates would not
have reached 133. So, it
seems that by talking to
the smaller parties and
independent MLAs sup-
porting the govern-
ment,theNCPgarnered
five extra votes for it-
self. It is also clear that
Pawar left both the al-
lies on their own terms
or ensured that both of
them suffer. Keep in
mind that both the can-
didates of Shiv Sena
also won but at least
three of its MLAs en-
gaged in cross voting.
Three Congress MLAs
also did cross voting.
On the contrary, all
NCP MLAs voted for
party candidates and on
top of that, Pawar gar-
nered 5 addl votes.

GST COUNCIL DEFERS TAX
ON CASINOS, LOTTERY
Chandigarh (PTI):
The GST Council on
Wednesday deferred de-
cision on levying a 28%
tax on casinos, online
gaming, horse racing
and lottery pending
more consultations
with stakeholders, Un-
ion Finance Minister
Nirmala Sitharaman
said.
A group of ministers
headed by Meghalaya
Chief Minister Conrad

to consider submis-
sions of stakeholders
again on the valuation

A two-day meeting of
the panel considered a
report of the GoM but

submissions.
The GoM had recom-
mended that online
gaming should be taxed
at the full value of the
consideration, includ-
ing the contest entry fee
paid by the player on

game.
In cases of race
courses, it had suggest-
ed that GST be levied on
the full value of bets
pooled in the totalisa-
tors and placed with the

skill or game of chance
for the purpose of the
levy of GST and should
be taxed at the highest
rate of 28%.
