anath on Sunday said
that now entrepreneurs
are more than willing to
come to Uttar Pradesh
and invest because of
the atmosphere of secu-
rity and confidence in
the state.
“The state, the sys-
tem and the resources

the government is
changed and the posi-
tivity is visible. “ Now
the government is com-
mitted to development
with a positive atti-
tude,” said the CM, who

the perception of peo-
ple has changed due to

tivities taking place.
Entrepreneurs, busi-
nessmen, film makers
who came to meet me,
expressed their desire
to invest in UP.”
Taking a jibe at the
opposition, the CM said
“During the Ram Tem-
ple movement, those
who used to say that
Lord Ram was imagi-
nary, today they say
that Ram belongs to eve-
ryone. May the God
maintain this wisdom.”
Speaking about the
developmentintheEast-
ern Uttar Pradesh, once
dubbed as backward,
the CM Yogi said that
this region now stood in
the competition with
any region on the basis
of a slew of develop-
ment works. “For this,
the government is work-
ing with commitment
and development is pri-
ority for us. All the insti-
tutions have been linked
with accountability in
development works,”
said CM Yogi.

dent Sonia Gandhi on
Sunday said that for the
first time since inde-
pendence such an “ar-
rogant” government
has come to power that
cannot see the suffer-
ings of ‘annadatas’, and
demanded that the new
farm laws be immedi-
ately withdrawn uncon-

Sonia said that gov-

leaders who ignore pub-
lic sentiments in a de-
mocracy cannot govern
for long and it is now
quite clear that the pro-
testing farmers will not
bow in the face of the
Centre’s policy of “tire
and pushover”.
“There is still time,
the Modi government
should leave the arro-
gance of power and im-
mediately withdraw the
three black laws uncon-
ditionally to end the
agitation of the farmers
who are dying in the

State all set for Covid vaccine dry run from Jan 5
First India Bureau
Lucknow: With its
commitment to beauti-
fy Varanasi and provide
a healthy environment
to the people of the city,
the Yogi government
has put in place the hi-
tech Ambient Air Qual-
ity Monitoring Systems
(AAQMS) at 15 places in
the constituency of
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi.
These AAQMS de-
tect the dust particles
and poisonous gases
that pollute the envi-
ronment. The systems
are proving to be ef-
fective in curbing en-
vironmental pollu-
tion by sensing six
harmful factors
harming the environ-
ment.
“Constructed under
the smart city scheme,
these AAQMS have six
types of state-of-the-art
sensors installed in
them. They give real-
time information on
pollutants instilled in
the air of the city,”
Gaurang Rathi, Munic-
ipal Commissioner of
Varanasi informed.
When the amount of
harmful gases, carbon
dioxide, sulphur diox-
ide, nitrogen, etc., are
high in atmosphere,
the sensors collect the
the data of pollutants
and send it to the con-
trol center. Besides,
noise pollution, tem-
perature, and humidity,
ultra violets rays can
also be detected by
these sensors. The Ger-
man dust sensors are
based on nanotechnol-
ogy and are also capa-
ble of measuring the
magnitude of fine dust
particles in the air,
Rathi said.
AQI after every ten
mins
The AAQMS have been
constructed after iden-
tifying the most crowd-
ed and industrial areas
of the city. They have
also been set up in the
outer areas of the city.
The places include Tar-
na, Panch Koshi Marg,
Padav, Cantt Station,
Orderly Bazar, Baulia,
Kandva, BHU, Adam-
pur, Bhelupur, Malda-
hiya, Chitranjan Park,
Manduadih, Shastri
Chawk and Sarnath.
AAQMS are moni-
tored by the Real-Time

Monitor Stations.
The Air Quality In-
dex (AQI) reports will
then be sent to the con-
trol room every tem
minutes.

while subsequent days
will witness events such
as discussions on inves-
tigation of the cases of
female foeticide and its
legal points. Rural wom-
en will be specially sen-
sitised about the issue
of female foeticide.
On the last day of the
drive on January 30, a
woman staff member of
the Joint Directorate,
Prosecution will be
made in-charge of the
office for a day. Discus-
sions on latest amend-
ments in the legal provi-
sions of the PCPNDT
Act will also be held.
Meanwhile, in anoth-
er event held under Mis-
sion Shakti, as many as
62 women farmers at-
tended the awareness
programme on women
empowerment at State
Institute for Manage-
ment of Agriculture,
Rehmankheda in Luc-
know. The event was or-
ganised by the Agricul-
ture department.
In yet another event,
women from across the
state were given tips on
following traffic rules
like using helmets and
seatbelts and also about
the traffic signals and
signs that should be fol-
lowedwhilecommuting.
Organised by the so-
cial welfare depart-
ment, the awareness
programmes on follow-
ing traffic rules also
involved giving details
about the new rules for
driving license accord-
ing to which there will
be uniformity in the RC
and driving license
across the country.
The new license will
have microchip and
QR code and thus it will
not possible for people
to hide the past records.
In Rae Bareli, the resi-
dents made aware about
the traffic rules and the
helpline numbers.
The Childline team
in Ramsanehi Ghat in
Barabanki approached

First India Bureau
Lucknow: Two days af-
ter a case was lodged
against three Muslim
men for the alleged for-
cible religious conver-
sion of a 24-year-old
woman, the police on
Sunday said they were
incorrectly framed.
“OnSeptember9,2020,
the woman left home
along with a man named
Abrar. Subsequently, a
complaint of abduction
was lodged at Fareedpur
police station. The wom-
an stayed with Abrar in
Delhi’s Tughlaqabad for
around 15 days and then
returned home,” Senior
Superintendent of Po-
lice (SSP) of Bareilly Ro-
hit Singh Sajwan said.
The case against the
three Muslim men was
registered on January 1.
“According to the
complainant, on De-
cember 1 last year, when
the girl was returning
home in Fareedpur,
Abrar, along with his
cousins Maisur and Ir-
shad, tried to forcibly
convert her religion for
‘nikaah’. But the police
have found that the ac-
cused were not at the
spot on that day. Evi-
dence has found that
the allegations levelled
against the three by the
woman and her mater-
nal uncle were wrong
and the matter will be
dismissed in accord-
ance with provisions of
law,” the SSP said.
He added that the
charge against Abrar of
issuing threats to the
woman at her in-laws’
place is being probed.
“On December 11, the
maternal uncle of the
woman got her married
in Aonla area of the dis-
trict. Abrar went to the
woman’s in-laws’ place
and told her to come to
Fareedpur or face trou-
ble,” the SSP said.
The woman’s parents
are no more.

First India Bureau
Lucknow: A 20-year-
old married woman
from Uttar Pradesh’s
Barabanki district
has accused her hus-
band of giving triple
talaq on the phone
from abroad over
demand for more
dowry, the police said
on Sunday.
The woman lodged
a complaint with
ASP (North) RS Gau-
tam, after which he
directed officials to
probe the matter and
file a report.
Citing the com-
plaint, the police said
she got married to a
28-year-old man from
Kushinagar three
years ago. The couple
have a son, and her
husband is working
in Saudi Arabia.
She also alleged
that her in-laws har-
assed her frequently
for dowry, her broth-
er-in-law tried to rape
her and some of the
in-laws beat her up.
The girl said in De-
cember she was beat-
en up by her in-laws,
after which the hus-
band gave her triple
talaq on phone on De-
cember 8.

PERSPECTIVELUCKNOW | MONDAY, JANUARY 4, 2021
04www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia
s per the Seventh Schedule
of the Constitution, ‘Agricul-
ture’ is the subject of the
State List. It means that the
state legislature is empow-
ered to enact a law in respect
of agriculture for the benefit
of the farmers of the state.
The Rajasthan State Legisla-
ture enacted Agricultural Act
2020 and placed it before the
Governor in view of the man-
date of Article 200 of the Con-
stitution two months back but
no decision is taken by the Gov-
ernor yet. According to Article
200 when a Bill is passed by the
Legislature of a state is pre-
sented to the Governor, he has
four options, namely
z He assents to the bill,
z He withholds assent,
z He reserves the Bill for the con-
sideration of the President, or
z He returns the bill to the Leg-
islature.
Today the situation is dif-
ferent as political parties are
in different states. One party
does not control Parliament
and the State Legislature.
Since the Governor owes his
appointment and his contin-
uation in the office to the
Union council of ministers,
in matters where the central
government and the state
government do not see eye to
eye, there is the apprehen-
sion that he is likely to act in
accordance with the instruc-
tions, if any, received from
the Union Council of Minis-
ters rather than act on the
advice of his council of min-
isters. Indeed, Governors,
today are pejoratively called
the ‘agents of the centre’.
It is true that the central gov-
ernment is not expected to give
any instructions which com-
promise the status and position
of the Governor. As Seervai
has pointed out in his commen-
tary- “As the President acts on
the advice of his Ministry, it
may be contended that if the
Governor takes action contra-
ry to the policy of Union Min-
istry, he would risk being re-
moved from his post as Gover-
nor and therefore he is likely to
follow the advice of the Union
Ministry.
The First provision ap-
pended to Article 200 says
that as soon as the bill is pre-
sented to him, he may re-
turn the bill to the Legisla-
ture (if it is not a Money
Bill) together with a mes-
sage requesting the Legisla-
ture to reconsider the bill.
He can suggest the desirabil-
ity of introducing such
amendments or changes as
he thinks appropriate. If on
such reconsideration the bill
is passéd again, with or
without amendments and
presented to the Governor
for assent, he has to accord
his assent.
The second provision says
that if the bill presented to him
derogates, in the opinion of
Governor, from the powers of
the High Court so as to endan-
ger the position which the High
Court is designed to fill by the
Constitution, he is bound to re-
serve the bill for the considera-
tion of the President.
In regard to the powers of
Governor under Article 200,
there are two conflicting views.
The first view is that the
papers of the Governor un-
der Article 200 are discre-
tionary powers. It is con-
tended that when a bill is
presented to a Governor, it is
his discretionary power in
exercise when he decides
which of the four options he
is to employ for the bill in
question.
The other view is that ex-
cepting in the case of bills fall-
ing under the second provi-
sion, the Governor has no dis-
cretion in the performance of
his functions under Article 200.
The first view says that
discretionary powers of the
Governor are restricted and
come to the fore only when
it is required expressly or
by necessary implication by
the Constitution. In all cas-
es where the bill that has
been passed by the state leg-
islature is in patent viola-
tion of any provisions of
the law, the Governor can
exercise his discretionary
powers to reserve the bill
for the consideration of the
President.
The point that needs to be re-
emphasised is that Governor
should act at his discretion in
rare and exceptional cases,
where he is compelled by his
good conscience and felt a duty
to uphold the Constitution. In
so acting he should bear in
mind that the Constitution is
founded on the fundamental
principles of parliamentary
democracy and division of
powers.
Thus the Governor can at
his best defend and uphold
the Constitution by accept-
ing as his Constitutional
function what his ‘responsi-
ble’ ministers have decided.
THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY
THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL
APPLY ARTICLE 200 OF THE
CONSTITUTION IN LETTER AND SPIRIT
A
It is true that the
central government
is not expected to
give any
instructions which
compromise the
status and position
of the Governor. As
Seervai has
pointed out in his
commentary- “As
the President acts
on the advice of his
Ministry, it may
be contended that
if the Governor
takes action
contrary to the
policy of Union
Ministry, he would
risk being removed
from his post as
Governor and
therefore he is
likely to follow the
advice of the
Union Ministry”
THE POINT THAT
NEEDS TO BE RE-
EMPHASISED IS THAT
GOVERNOR SHOULD
ACT AT HIS
DISCRETION IN RARE
AND EXCEPTIONAL
CASES, WHERE HE IS
COMPELLED BY HIS
GOOD CONSCIENCE
AND FELT A DUTY TO
UPHOLD THE
CONSTITUTION
efore the reces-
sion we were on a
collision course
withenvironmen-
tal disaster.
The recovery provides a
rare opportunity to do
things differently; to re-
build a better economy that
can support living stand-
ards without irretrievably
damagingtheenvironment.
The closer we get to irre-
versibleclimatechange,the
harder that will become.
Doughnut economics, a
concept principally devel-
oped by UK economist Kate
Raworth, provides an in-
tuitive way of thinking
about it.
The ideas outlined in her
book, subtitled Seven Ways
to Think Like a 21st-Centu-
ry Economist, are increas-
ingly being used around
the world, including by a
new collaboration Regen
Melbourne, that’s looking
at ways to making Mel-
bourne a better, more so-
cially-just and environ-
mentally-responsible city.
The image to keep in
mind is that of a doughnut,
on the inside of which is
economicandsocialfreefall.
We need a certain
amount of economic and
social/political develop-
ment to ensure everybody
can live a good, healthy life
with full social and politi-
cal participation.
On the outside of the
doughnut is an unsustain-
able impact on the environ-
ment.
The sweet spot, the “safe
and just space for human-
ity” is, of course, in the
doughnut itself. Mmm…
doughnuts.
Conceptually it’s pretty
straightforward. Practi-
cally, it is challenging.
Economics is tradition-
ally defined as the study of
the way societies allocate
scarce resources. But in
the modern world the real-
ity is that, for rich coun-
tries such as Australia,
there is no overall scarcity.
The challenge is to re-
main within the doughnut
Such countries have
homeless and hungry peo-
ple, for sure. But the also
have enough resources,
homes and food to provide
for them. That they don’t is
a question of distribution
rather than scarcity.
In terms of the diagram,
we already use enough re-
sources to ensure nobody
needbeleftintheholeonthe
inside of the doughnut. The
danger is that we use too
many resources and move
beyondtheouteredgeof the
doughnut into climate and
ecological breakdown.
For quite some time
amongsteconomiststhere’s
been faith in what’s called
theEnvironmentalKuznets
Curve, where increasing
consumption is said to lead
to increased environmental
degradation up to a point.
Beyond that point, as a
society becomes post-in-
dustrial, extra consump-
tion is said to lead to less
environmental degrada-
tion as people become more
environmentally conscious
and use their wealth to buy
different things – more ser-
vices (such as yoga classes)
and fewer goods (such as
hamburgers).
While the Environmen-
tal Kuznets Curve does in-
deedappeartobereal,there
is every indication that the
global peak in environmen-
talimpactisfarhigherthan
the biosphere can with-
stand, which means a dia-
gram like this:
We will need to bring the
peak down, and that will be
difficult for precisely the
same reasons that people
remain poor amid extraor-
dinary wealth.
One is the capacity of
deep-pocketed interests to
influence regulators and
governments to maximise
profits. The other is the ex-
tent to which neoliberal
economic thinking perme-
ates social and political
structures.

POLITICS OVER
UNFINISHED TRIALS,
UNVERIFIED DATA
he Congress on Sunday raised
the red flag over the emergency
use nod given to the indigenously
developed Bharat Biotech and
ICMR’s Covaxin even before it
could complete its third phase of clinical
trial and its data for efficacy and safety ver-
ified. The Drugs Controller-General of In-
dia (DCGI) on Sunday put its stamp of ap-
proval for “restricted use” of both Covaxin
and Serum Institute’s Covishield, which has
over 70 percent efficacy. The two vaccines
were earlier cleared by an expert panel for
emergency use.
It is the clearance given to Covaxin which
has raised doubts about the integrity of the
process followed. No other vaccine in the
world skipped the mandatory protocols be-
fore being allowed to be administered. Con-
gress leaders Anand Sharma, Jairam
Ramesh, and Shashi Tharoor asked the gov-
ernment as to why mandatory protocols and
verification of data had been done away
with. Sharma pointed out that no country
had disregarded the mandatory phase 3 tri-
als and data verification. He wanted the
health ministry to give “cogent reasons” for
dropping the mandatory protocol as the
move could endanger public health. Doubts
were raised over the integrity of the approv-
al process as the emergency use was allowed
even before the vaccine’s data on safety and
efficacy could be verified. Also, in the case
of Bharat Biotech’s vaccine, few details are
available about its phase 1 and phase 2 trials.
It is believed that Covaxin “which has been
granted permission for restricted use in
emergency situations in the public interest
as an abundant precaution” could be a fall-
back option.
In defence of Covaxin Dr VK Paul of Niti
Ayog said that the vaccine will be adminis-
tered in clinical trial mode after taking con-
sent of the people with regular follow-up.
Telling words came from Adar Poonawalla of
SII. “Everything else has proven to be safe,
just like water is safe. But the efficacy, to
know how well a vaccine works---70%, 90%,
80% --- has only been proven in Pfizer, Mod-
erna and Oxford-AstraZeneca”, whose vac-
cine the SII is producing under the brand
name of Covishield. Although the third phase
trial of Covishield is also not yet over, its ef-
ficacy has at least been proven and trial data
analysed in the UK.
Whatever the doubting Thomases may now
say, the final word came from Prime Minister
Narendra Modi who called it a proud moment
as both the vaccines were made in the coun-
try. He tweeted that the vaccines were the
outcome of “the eagerness of our scientific
community to fulfill the dream of an At-
manirbhar Bharat, at the root of which is
care and compassion”.
The question which will still bother people
is whether adverse effects of either is report-
ed honestly without the complainant being
sued for crores or suppressed to protect the
vaccine manufacturers?

West Bengal: Owaisi
Kolkata: AIMIM chief
Asaduddin Owaisi on
Sunday, said TMC su-
premo Mamata Baner-
jee, instead of pointing
accusatory fingers at
his outfit, should intro-
spect and ascertain how
the BJP managed to
clinch 18 Lok Sabha
seats in the state.
Owaisi, who was
here to hold a meeting
with Muslim cleric Ab-
basuddin Sidiqqui, re-
jected TMC’s claims
that his party was a “B-
team of the BJP”, and
would eat into anti- saf-
fron camp votes.
“We are a political
party; we will establish
our presence and fight
the elections (in West
Bengal). “... Bharat ke
siyasat ka mai Laila hu,
aur mere Majnu bahut
hai, usse koi faraq nehi
parta (I am like Laila
from the popular folk-
lore who has many ad-
mirers, but that doesn’t
matter),” Owaisi told
reporters, hinting that
many parties wish to
benefit from his politi-
cal endeavours.
Later, while talking to
a news channel, he said
his party was yet to de-
cide if it would contest
the elections on its own
or forge an alliance with
another outfit.
The AIMIM chief,
however,stressedthathe
has the support of ‘peer-
zada’ Siddiqui of Furfu-
ra Sharif -- a much- re-
vered shrine in Bengal’s
Hooghly district.
Rubbishing the
TMC’s claim that the
AIMIM helped the BJP-
led NDA win the Bihar
assembly elections, he
said his party had con-
tested 20 seats in the
neighbouring state, of
which it won five and
the Mahagathbandhan
nine, while the NDA
managed to bag six con-
stituencies.
“The TMC should in-
trospect and find out
what worked in BJP’s
favour during LS elec-
tions. The party should
analyse why its mem-
bers were leaving...”

Rahul Gandhi’s comments come in the backdrop of Central ministers holding the

ment akin to the Cham-

opened for everyone to-

The authorities have
released guidelines for
those visiting the tem-

to mandatorily wear
masks, sanitize their
hands, and maintain so-
cial distancing.
“We get tested for
Covid-19 three days be-

Kolkata said. They also
have to carry negative

New Delhi: Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi termed the ap-
proval a decisive turn-
ing point in the coun-
try’s fight against coro-
navirus.
The World Health
Organisation on Sun-
day welcomed India’s
decision giving emer-
gency use authorisa-
tion to COVID-19 vac-
cines, saying it will
help “intensify” and
“strengthen” its fight
against the ongoing
pandemic.
India’s drugs regula-
tor has approved Ox-
ford COVID-19 vaccine
Covishield, manufac-
tured by the Serum In-
stitute, and indige-
nously developed Cov-
axin of Bharat Biotech
for restricted emergen-
cy use in the country.
It paves the way for
the roll out of at least
two vaccines in the
country in the coming
days.
“WHO welcomes the
first emergency use
authorization given to
COVID-19 vaccine in
the WHO South-East
Asia Region. This deci-
sion taken today by In-
dia will help intensify
and strengthen the
fight against COVID-19
pandemic in the Re-
gion,” said Dr Poonam
Khetrapal Singh, the
regional director,
WHO South-East Asia
Region. According to
Dr. Khetrapal, the use
of vaccine in “prior-
tised population” as
well as implementa-
tion of other public
health measures will
be important in reduc-
ing the impact of the
pandemic.
“The use of vaccine
in prioritised popula-
tions, along with con-
tinued implementa-
tion of other public
health measures and
community participa-
tion will be important
in reducing the im-
pact of COVID-19,”
she added.
Prime Minister Nar-
endra Modi termed the
approval a decisive
turning point in the
country’s fight against
coronavirus.
India’s COVID-19
tally of cases climbed
to 1,03,23,965 with

‘DECISIONWILLHELPSTRENGTHENFIGHT’
WHO WELCOMES COVID VACCINE APPROVAL
New Delhi: All India
Institute of Medical
Sciences (AIIMS) di-
rector Dr Randeep
Singh Guleria today
lauded the work done
by Indian laboratories
in making indigenous
vaccines. “The re-
search has been done
here and it’s truly
from the scratch and it
is Indian vaccine. It’s
a great moment, espe-
cially because unlike
past where we had to
rely on importing var-
ious products like
PPE or N95; now we
have vaccines which
are being manufac-
tured in India itself.
We do not have to rely
on vaccines coming
from outside. They are
cost-effective and easy
to administer between
2 to 8 degrees Centi-
grade,” he said. He
also said that a vac-
cine has to go through
various stages of
study to make sure
that it is safe for use.
“It is important to un-
derstand that when
we look at any vac-
cine, safety is para-
mount and therefore a
vaccine goes through
various stages of stud-
ying to make sure that
it is safe,” Dr Guleria
stated in an interview
with ANI. There are
questions being raised
on Covaxin of Bharat
Biotech which is yet to
go for Phase III trials.
Dr Guleria responded,
“Even as far as Bharat
Biotech vaccine is a
concern, it is on a tra-
ditional platform
which has been used
for other vaccines
also. It is shown to be
safe and they have ro-
bust data from Phase I
and Phase II trials to
show that it’s a safe
vaccine.” —ANI

Rae Bareli: Muslim
family’s adoption of
Hinduism didn’t go well
with the fundamental-
ists of Rae Bareli.
Crossing all limits, the
house of the man who
converted was torched
on Saturday night.
Although there was
no loss of life due to this
fire, the stuff kept in
the house was com-
pletely burnt. A case
has been registered
against five people in-
cluding the village head
in this case.
Dev Prakash Patel, a
resident of Ataganj
Rataso village in Salon
Vikas block of Rae
Bareli, left Muslim reli-
gion on September 2
and converted to Hindu-
ism along with his two
sons Devnath (5), Deen-
dayal (4) and a daughter
Durga Devi (3).
While Dev Prakash
fell asleep with the chil-
dren on Saturday night,
the miscreants set fire
to the shed in his house.
The main door of the
house was locked to en-
sure these people do not
escape. Due to the
flames, Dev woke up
and rescued his chil-
dren from the back
door. Later, he informed
the police.
Kotwali in-charge
Pankaj Tripathi arrived

ings of the house were
gutted.

Dev Prakash was earli-
er warned by the ac-

stances if he didn’t re-
move them. He didn’t
pay heed to their warn-
ings. Ultimately, the ac-

APPLIED ON

IAS OFFICER
A mong the
hundreds of IAS
officers posted in
Lucknow there is one
officer who makes
the headlines day and
night. He was praised
for his diligence and
for work on cleanliness
and making rules to
filing cases, but some
of his habits have
seemed to upset the
politicians. In recent
time, his misdeeds
rather than his good
works have been
noted in the party
high command. The
situation is such that
some advisors believe
that if the bureaucrat
continues in the same
manner then it may
not benefit the party
but may be beneficial
to the government. He
seemed to have hurt
the sentiments of some
BJP party workers
and is messing with
the many fronts. In
one situation, after
due warning from his
superior he has started
to work with utmost
caution. Bureaucratic
experts were of the
opinion that he be
transferred but once
the officer in question
got the smell of such
action he has mended
his ways and gone into
damage control mode.
The thing to be seen is
whether he plays ball
or he is swept by the
transfer wind which is
to blow in January.

WHEN SAVIOUR
COPS TURN
INTO SATANS
W hat is the
difference between
Indian police and the
police in developed
countries? People do
not feel frightened
when they see cops in
developed countries.
Exemplifying the
same, a police official
deployed at Mathura’s
Banke Bihari temple
for people’s safety
and security, slapped
a 10-year-old girl
child named Mannat
Goswami, after she tried
to enter the temple from
gate no. 4 with her aunt.
At first, a female cop
misbehaved with them
and then slapped the
girl child. When another
devotee raised objection
to this, the woman cop
thrashed him as well
and then more cops
joined her. The temple
witnessed a stampede
like situation as people
seemed running for their
life. Soon, the temple
premises turned into a
wrestling field as both,
cops and commoners,
wrestled with each other.
In the end, the Goswami
family complained of
the cops to the temple
administration and the
matter is still on this
report is being brought
to you.

Lucknow: January 03:
Even as farmers of Pun-
jab and Haryana have
been camping on Delhi
borders for more than a
month protesting
against three farm laws,
there is sharp division
among their counter-
parts in UP. It is clear
East- West divide in UP
as farmers of western
UP have joined the stir
but there is no support
from eastern region of
the state. The farmers
of central UP,
Roohelkhand and Bun-
delkhand have been also
curiously maintaining
safe distance.
Though there is dis-
cussion over the issue
among the farmers of
these regions, except
few stray incidents of
protest by some local
Kisan organisations
law and order situation
has been by and large
peaceful.
Divisional president
Kisan Morcha of Gora-
khpur Satish Ojha tried
to mobilise people last
week but to no avail.
Similarly, farmers are
staying away from an-
other leader Radheyshy-
am Singh because of his
connection with Sama-
jwadi Party.
Nearly 100 leaders
have been bound down
by the local police. In
Bundelkhand also there
were agitations by SP
and Congress but farm-
ers’ participation was
negligible. Basically,
farmers appear to be
disconnected with SP
and Congress on Delhi
protest.
In Ayodhya a group of
nearly 40 farmers was
leave for Delhi today but
the police persuaded
them to go back home.
The reason for lack of
support is not far to
seek. As against farm-
ersof westernUPwhere
there are large land
holdings, in East, cen-
tral and Bundelkhand
land holdings are small
which have virtually re-
duced farmers to the
status of labourers.
“In this region they
are labourer-farmer ex-
cept very small number
of peoplewhohavelarge
land holdings”, com-
mented a social activist
of Gonda Rajendra Dw-
evidi. Way back in 1992
when farmers leaders
were strong a major agi-
tation had cropped up in
Ramkola in Kushinagar
district on the demand
of construction of a
bridge over river Gan-
dak resulting into police
firing in which several
farmers were killed.
But 2020 is not 1992.
Moreover, UP chief
minister Yogi Adity-
anath’s strong east UP
connect has also helped
in keeping the farmers
under check.
While administrative
machinery is keeping
close eye on rural areas,
lack of farmers leaders
in vast swath of east has
alsohelpedthestategov-
ernment in keeping the
situation under control.
After 1970 land ceil-
ing act of UP, land hold-
ing was restricted to
only 12 acre which over
the decades have now
shrunk because of the
continued division in
the family.
But this was not the
case in West where joint
family system kept it in-
tact. Farmers in east
and central UP have vir-
tually turned into la-
bourers.
Gorakhpur based so-
cial worker A Rahman
said “People are talking
about Ambani and Ada-
ni but not to the extent
of resentment.”
He said that even Sa-
majwadi Party despite
hectic efforts has not
been able to effectively
mobilise farmers to sup-
port Delhi stir. Similar
sentiments were echoed
by retired IPS officer SN
Singh who has farming
in Raibareli.
“Minus West UP
farmers other parts of
the state are not inter-
ested in it”, he com-
mented.
The deployment of
senior IAS and IPS offic-
ers in field has also
yielded positive results.
In caste-ridden eastern
UP rural areas, domi-
nant backward class
communities (Kurmis
and others) are largely
aligned with BJP.
After the death of
farmers leader Divakar

gion failed to produce
any powerful leader
like Mahendra Singh
Tikait in West UP who
has left his successor
Rakesh Tikait to carry
his mission.

Lucknow/Kolkata:
Home minister and
former BJP national
president Amit Shah,
considered the
Chanakya of politics,
assigned a young RSS
Pracharak to
strengthen the organ-
isation in Uttar
Pradesh six years ago.
This Pracharak ful-
filled Shah’s expecta-
tions and in a few
months formed such a
strong organisation
structure in Uttar
Pradesh that the BJP
registered a historic
victory in the Lok
Sabha elections 2014.

Against the predictions
of political pundits, the
BJP registered a one-
sided victory in the as-
sembly elections.

Sunil Bansal state gren-
eral ecretary (Organisa-
tion) of Uttar Pradesh
BJP. After UP, Shah has
given Bansal the respon-
sibility to form a strong
BJP organisation in
West Bengal. Bansal is
micro-managing the or-
ganisation in Bengal. By
the way, the BJP has en-
gaged many of its senior
leaders, MPs and minis-
ters in Bengal, but
Bansal has been given
the most difficult task.
According to sources,
Bansal has been made
the organisation in-
charge of Kolkata Zone
of West Bengal. Kolkata
zone is the biggest chal-
lenge for BJP. This zone
consists of 51 assembly
constituencies. Bansal
has been given the re-
sponsibility to penetrate
this fort of TMC. Bansal
has been visiting Bengal
continuously for the last
two months.
Recently, Bansal vis-
ited Bengal for four days
and took meetings of of-
ficebearersof thebooth,
Mandal, district, assem-
bly constituency units,
Vistaraks and other
frontal organisations.
Bansal’s main focus is
on micro-management.
According to sources, in
the last two months,
Bansal has made a
strong organisation
team at polling booth
level in Kolkata zone.
Like other states, he has
also prepared the team
in Mandals, Districts
and Assembly constitu-
encies in Bengal.
The Panna Pramukh
(page in-charge) and
Vistarak formula has
also been implemented
in Bengal. A Vistarak
has been appointed at
each booth. Until the
result of the assembly
elections, the Vistarak
will work to strengthen
the organisation in the
allotted area.
“I have charge of Kol-
kata Zone. Working here
is challenging, but there
is a wave of change all
over Bengal. I am visit-
ing here regularly and
meeting party workers.
The atmosphere is in fa-
vour of BJP. The result
of the upcoming elec-
tion will be in favour of
the party,” Bansal told
First India.
UP BJP General Secretary (Organization) Sunil Bansal took a meeting of the convenor, co-convenor
and all the Mandal chiefs of Jadhavpur and Kasba assembly area in South Kolkata during his recent
visit to West Bengal.

Lucknow: After a con-
troversialstatementon
corona vaccine, Sama-
jwadi Party (SP) presi-
dent Akhilesh Yadav
clarified on Sunday
that he had full confi-
dence in the capability
of scientists but never
believed in non-scien-
tific approach of
“Taali-Thaali” (clap-
ping- noise) ideology
of BJP government.
He alleged that health
and medical system
had collapsed in BJP
regime.
Earlier, during a
press conference, the
SP president had stat-
ed that he will not get
corona vaccine shots
and he did not believe
in BJP’s non scientific
ideology. He said vac-
cine will be provided
free of cost to every
citizen after formation
of SP government.
After his statements
several BJP leaders,
including UP BJP pres-
ident Swatantra Dev
Singh, slammed him
for his irresponsible
behaviour.
Akhilesh had al-
leged that BJP govern-
ment used corona as
weapon against Oppo-
sition in UP. He said
the BJP will hide infla-
tion, unemployment
and injustice behind
corona.
Swatantra Dev Sin-
gh had tweeted “BJP’s
vaccine is effective on
corruption and mafia-
rule. You are talking
about which vaccine,
Akhilesh.” Deputy CM
KeshavPrasadMaurya
had tweeted “Akhilesh
has no faith on vaccine
and public has no faith
on Akhilesh.”

fur ry
friend
into adulthood, don’t be
ashamed, sleeping with soft
toys is more normal than you
might think. Ample of my
friends or siblings still sleep
with teddies. Well, the question
arises, why are we hanging on to
our cuddly toys? My hunch is
that it’s to do with sleeping prac-
tices. Nowadays, following west-
ern culture, children sleep sepa-
rately from their parents, on
their own and self-soothe using
blankets and soft toys. These
have become part of our sleep
ritual. Well, if we love them so
much, let’s learn to take care
of them.
1
Use the gentle
cycle and cold
water, though
if a child has been
sick and the toy
can tolerate it (for
example, it
does not
have glued-in parts), warm or hot
water can be used.
2
A mild detergent, like a free
and clear formula, is ideal, but
regular detergent is fine — no
need to purchase a separate deter-
gent for washing stuffed animals.
Follow the instructions on the
bottle and don’t use
too much de
tergent,
as soap resi-
due left behind
can irritate sensitive
skin.
3
If the size and shape
of the stuffed animal
allow for it, put the toy
in a mesh washing bag to help
protect parts like eyes and hair.
You can also pad the load with
towels to help protect toys.
It is not unusual for your at-
tachment to soft toys as a sleep
aid to persist into adulthood.
Cuddling a soft toy can have a
beneficial effect for people with
low self-esteem, helping to al-
leviate their anxieties
around death. It’s about
having a sentimental
attachment to
things. It’s com-
pletely normal
for adults to con-
tinue to have
these child-
ish attach-
ments.”
