Delhi talk: Nath-Digvijay considered instead of Gehlot


New Delhi: With Ashok Gehlot showing conditional readiness to sit as Congress president, Sonia and Rahul Gandhi's group has started considering other names. Sonia is said to have asked former Madhya Pradesh Chief Ministers Kamal Nath and Digvijay Singh to be ready to file their candidature. On the other hand, it is certain that former Union Minister Manish Tiwari will contest from the rebel group. Sonia has called Digvijay Singh to meet her immediately while Kamal Nath is believed to have spoken on the phone.

Sonia-Rahul wants to install Gehlot as President but Gehlot is not ready to give up the Chief Ministership of Rajasthan. Gehlot has made it clear that even if he becomes the Congress president, he will continue as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan for some time. Confused by Gehlot's talk, Sonia called Rahul Gandhi to Delhi and discussed the options of Kamal Nath and Digvijay, sources claim.

On the other hand, Manish Tiwari has also started meeting state delegates of Congress in Punjab so that signatures of 10 delegates can be obtained to sign the form.

Rahul Gandhi angry with Gehlot's lust for power

Rahul Gandhi is said to be upset because Ashok Gehlot is not ready to step down as the Chief Minister of Rajasthan. Rahul told Sonia in clear words that, be it Gehlot or anyone else, the principle of one person, one position will apply to everyone in the party.

Rahul Gandhi also told this clearly to Ashok Gehlot, who came to meet him in Kochi on Thursday. Gehlot went to meet Rahul to convince him to sit for the presidency one last time but Rahul took his own class.

Expressing displeasure against Gehlot expressing his desire to hold both the presidency and the chief ministership, Rahul is believed to have told Gehlot that the principled decision of one person, one post in the Udaipur convention should not be compromised.

Gehlot argued that the presidency does not come under the purview of one person, one position. It is also said that Rahul, who was upset after hearing this, advised Gehlot to set up Adarsh. Rahul also said in the press conference that the Congress presidency is not just a position but an idea.

Elections in Gujarat-Himachal may be postponed

The Central Election Commission team has started preparations for holding the elections in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat, but sources are expressing the possibility that the elections will be held in late January or February instead of December as the BJP has a tough uphill battle in both the states. The Modi government is still in limbo on the issue of holding the elections of Jammu and Kashmir along with these two states. Sources claim that Gujarat and Himachal elections will be postponed on the pretext of Jammu and Kashmir elections.

Chief Election Commissioner Rajeev Kumar and Election Commissioner Anoop Chandra Pandey have left Himachal Pradesh for a three-day visit from Thursday and have started reviewing the preparations by meeting top officials of the state. It is likely that Rajeev Kumar and Pandey will come to Gujarat on Monday after deciding to travel to Himachal Pradesh. The tenure of the Legislative Assembly in Himachal Pradesh will end on January 8, 2023, while that of Gujarat will end on February 23, 2023. The Election Commission can hold elections at any time within six months of the expiry of the five-year term.

Nitish-Lalu will convince Sonia to join the Morcha

Nitish Kumar has intensified his drive to unite anti-BJP parties ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. As part of this, Nitish and Lalu Prasad Yadav will meet Sonia Gandhi in Delhi on September 27. Nitish-Lalu will convince Sonia to put aside all differences and join forces with other parties to defeat the BJP. Both believe that without Congress there is no opposition unity and BJP cannot be defeated.

Nitish is scheduled to participate in a joint opposition rally in Haryana on Sunday. RJD leader and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav is also scheduled to attend the rally of Omprakash Chotala's party Indian National Lok Dal. NCP president Sharad Pawar, National Conference's Farooq Abdullah, Shiromani Akali Dal's Prakash Singh Badal, Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav and his father Mulayam Singh Yadav are also expected to attend the rally in Haryana.

Nitish Kumar has refused to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Phulpur, but due to the insistence of Mulayam Singh and Akhilesh, Nitish can contest the Lok Sabha elections. It will be decided in Haryana rally.

Modi government to extend free food scheme

The food secretary of the country has given a clear indication that the Modi government will extend the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana for six months to provide relief to the people who are in dire straits due to price hike and rising inflation. The scheme expires on September 30, but Food Secretary Sudhanshu Pandey has said that a decision will be taken soon to extend PMGKY even beyond September 30.

The government is undecided whether to extend the scheme for three months or six months. It is clear that the Modi government will give 5 kg free food grains to the poor for another three to six months.

If this scheme is extended for another three months, there will be an additional burden of 80 thousand crore rupees on the government exchequer. India has spent about three and a half lakh crore rupees on 'Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana' since April 2020. Modi criticizes the revdy culture but his own government is giving away lakhs of crores.

A stern message from Congress after beating Shashi

Congress leader Gaurav Vallabh on Thursday slammed Shashi Tharoor for his ambition to contest the party's presidential election, saying that Tharoor's only significant contribution to the party was that he had been writing letters to Sonia Gandhi, who was undergoing treatment in hospital. Its General Secretary Jairam Ramesh, who is in-charge of communications of the party, has said in a message sent to all the spokespersons and office-bearers of the party's communications department that "Don't make any kind of comment about any of our comrades who want to contest for the Congress presidency. We all have our personal preferences, but it is our duty to establish a democratic and transparent process for electing the party president, which only the Congress has, Ramesh added.

Classroom-Toilet Gathering: Fierce discussion ensued

Since 2017, 7000 new classrooms have been added in 141 government schools of Delhi. One laboratory equals two new classrooms, while one multi-purpose hall equals 10 classrooms. However, the mixing of classrooms with toilets and laboratories has created a huge controversy. Laboratories and toilets are the essentials of any school, but they cannot be considered classrooms. It is misleading to lump them together in toilets and laboratories. According to Tajjana, the value of a school is not based on the classrooms in it, but on the education provided there.

Ghost teachers: LG raising arms against AAP govt

Lieutenant Governor of Delhi (LG) V.K. Saksena has ordered an internal inquiry into the irregularities in the retention of guest teachers in AAP government schools and the embezzlement of funds for the payment of salaries of these 'ghost' teachers. The LG Secretariat has asked the Chief Secretary to suggest to the Director (Education) for immediate verification of the teachers engaged by the local self-governing body in its schools, their attendance and the amount drawn from the salary of all these guest-teachers. A status report in this regard is to be submitted within a month. Earlier, Sakse had allowed the anti-graft department to probe allegations against four vice-principals of Delhi government schools regarding embezzlement of funds in the name of non-existent guest-teachers.

Pilots confess to slouching in the cockpit

About 66 percent of the 542 Indian pilots who participated in a recent survey on daytime sleepiness as a result of fatigue admitted to micro-sleeping (slipping into micro-sleeps) in the cockpit without alerting their flight team members while on duty. The survey covered pilots of regional, domestic and international airlines. Their fatigue was measured on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Their responses revealed that about 54 percent of pilots have a severe problem with excessive daytime sleepiness, while another 41 percent of pilots require moderate daytime sleep. The survey was conducted by an NGO (non-governmental organization) called Safety Matters Foundation.

Draft Telecom Bill enjoyable for Mahua

A paragraph in the draft Telecom Bill equates spectrum to Ajar (imperishable) and the immortal soul. Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra was overjoyed after reading this paragraph. The Lok Sabha-Parliament said that they would take the Gita along to the Parliamentary Standing Committee meeting on the draft bill as Srimad Bhagavad Gita is essential reading material. He also implicated his parliamentary colleagues Shashi Tharoor and Karti Chidambaram (both Congress) and Thamizhachi Thanga Pandian (DMK MP) in the whole affair. The paragraph that made Moitra feel happy is on page 5 of the explanatory note to the draft telecom bill. “In a way the spectrum is like the ajra, the immortal soul, as described in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita. Like the soul, the spectrum has no physical existence, but is omnipresent,” the draft said.

A heavy fine for touching an idol of a Hindu deity

Residents of Ullerahalli village of Malur taluk of Kolar district, which is 60 km from Bengaluru, the capital city of Karnataka, organized the Bhootayamma Mela. Dalits were excluded from this fair held at the temple of Ishtadev in the village. A 15-year-old Dalit boy standing on the way of the Lord's procession, which was held in connection with the fair, placed his hand on the pillar attached to the idol of Ishtadev. A villager saw this. He shouted and informed other villagers about the incident. The village elders decided that since the untouchable boy had touched the idol of God, the idol had now become desecrated. The community fined the 15-year-old boy's family Rs 60,000 for the boy's 'mistake'. Not only that, the teenager and his family were ordered to appear before the village elders.

A sign of the second revolution in China after Mao's revolution

Image
- Inhumane atrocities on the people caused outrage as the communist leader himself lived in Ayyashi. - In almost all the big cities of China, people are holding violent protests and gradually these protests are turning into demands for democracy instead of lockdown protests. Political analysts believe that the cause of this protest may be the lockdown imposed due to Corona, but the real reason is the growing dissatisfaction and outrage against the communist regime of China. Due to the increasing cases of Corona in China, there has been a flare-up after the Chinese government imposed a zero covid policy. Under the zero covid policy, lockdown has been imposed in areas where corona cases are high. In big cities in China, people are not allowed to go out and are being forced to stay indoors. On November 25, due to the lockdown, a fire broke out in an apartment in Xinjiang, even though people were not allowed to go out in the name of lockdown, 10 people perished. Due to this incident, pe

Talk of Delhi: Reconciliation with Gehlot, Pilot supporters confused

Image
New Delhi: A meeting called by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to end the fight between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan has left Pilot's supporters confused. After Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot spoke to Rahul Gandhi for four hours at Mallikarjun Kharge's bungalow, it was announced that the two leaders would contest the next assembly elections together, but there was no crackdown on Pilot's demands. Pilot Vasundhara Raje sought to dissolve the Rajasthan Public Service Commission investigating government corruption and set up a high-level committee to restructure and compensate the unemployed affected by the paper leak. If these three demands are not met, they have warned of fierce agitation. The Gehlot government has not accepted any of the three demands, leaving PILOT supporters confused. Congress sources say that there is still a phase of dialogue between the two and this issue will be resolved. K.C. Venugopal has confirmed this. Cracks in Congress over

China's Insidious Privacy

Image
As many important countries as there are in the world, they are ruled by almost one-man show politicians. The kind of team leadership that was traditionally used to manage and manage huge countries now appears to be dying out. Due to this, the burden of taking all decisions is placed on a single person. Hence, the possibility of making hasty or wrong decisions increases. This is the situation of the leaders of all important countries including India, Russia, China, America. China has its own top leadership of the People's Party, but its role is very limited. India has a two-tier cabinet. Besides, Rashtrapati Bhavan and Supreme Court are also ready for error correction and guidance. That readiness is sometimes expressed in the form of reprimand. However, the role of the President and the court in the practical management of the entire nation and in the formulation of policies is limited. In China, Xi Jinping enjoys absolute power. There is a Politburo and a Senate to stop them. Ch

Adhir's allegation, Mamata's daily expenses of 3 lakhs

Image
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress and Congress, the two allies of the anti-BJP Front India, have come face to face again after Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary made allegations against Mamata Banerjee. Chaudhary has alleged that Mamata Banerjee used to spend Rs 3 lakh per day in the hotel where she was staying abroad. Even after siphoning off so many rupees from the government's coffers, not a single rupee of foreign investment has come to Bengal from Mamata's foreign travel. Mamata's family members and others went abroad on the pretext of bringing foreign investment to the state and came back having fun without doing anything. Mamata went on a 12-day trip to Spain and Dubai to bring foreign investment to Bengal. The Trinamool Congress termed Chaudhary's words ridiculous and said that facilities including foreign academies will be opened soon in Bengal. That time Chaudhary's lies will be exposed.

A minor was killed in public in Delhi, people watched the spectacle

Image
- For the so-called civil society, this is like drowning with water in the lid - When Sahil stopped the witness in public and stabbed him in the stomach, there were many people around. Most of the people watching the spectacle saw Sahil stabbing the witness. In the CCTV footage, it is seen that some people pass by on the public road and turn back to see Sahil's murderous game but do not try to stop him. Seeing that Sahil was alone and there were at least twenty-twenty five people outside, if an attempt had been made to stop him, the witness could have been saved, but except for one or two people, no one tried to stop Sahil or save the witness, nor did they inform the police. The murder of Shraddha Volkar by her live-in partner Aftab Amin Poonawala, which happened exactly one year ago in Delhi, created a stir. After killing Shraddha, Aftab was caught cutting her body into pieces, keeping it in a freezer and disposing of it slowly. While the details of the Shraddha murder case ha

Uproar in UP politics due to attack on Chandrasekhar Ravan

Image
There is talk on social media that Chandrasekhar Azad himself staged the attack in an attempt to gain political advantage. - Chandrasekhar Azad Ravan is one of the most interesting characters in UP politics. Chandrasekhar is only 36 years old but has made more enemies than anyone else in UP politics. Ravana is very unpopular with the upper castes especially the Thakurs and Kshatriyas because Azad speaks harshly against the upper castes. Chandrasekhar has been speaking in the same aggressive tone against those who have been playing vote bank politics in the name of Dalits for years. Leaders who have been running their shop in the name of Dalit vote bank in UP for years feel threatened by Chandrasekhar and dislike him. Chandrasekhar is also considered by many as a pawn of BJP and Yogi Adityanath. The attack on Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan, known as the chief of Bhim Army and an extremely aggressive youth Dalit leader, in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has created an atmosphere of tension and

Tribal bus services: Even the tribals do not like private bus service very much

Image
JS of Gujarat State Transport Corporation. T. Bus services run across the state. Its foremost is economics, which is rarely seen by the government itself or the public. The main for-profit services of this corporation are in tribal areas. Route Chikkar makes a profit as every route that runs in remote inland tribal areas carries every Chikkar passenger. Other than that thousands of routes suffer losses. In other words, it is the tribals who give food and water to the corporation and the rupee from the hard work of the tribals comes into the possession of the corporation only by becoming a ticket fare, from which the staff of the corporation is paid. The other side of this coin is that the worst i.e. third class services of the corporation are given to the tribal areas. Third class means third class in each stage. The people of the so-called elite society are not equally familiar with the tribal area. Their ignorance is of many different levels. From time immemorial, people living in

Image
New Delhi: The government is planning to re-implement the Home Loan Subsidy Scheme to win the Lok Sabha and the five state assembly elections to be held before it.

Ultimatum of Akal Takht, terrorism will flare up in Punjab?

Image
- Although Akal Takht has said that we will not do violence, but looking at the history of Akal Takht, Bhagwant Maan knows very well what this threat means. When the demand for Khalistan gained momentum in the 1970s, the Akal Takht used to advise Sufiani to behave peacefully, but through the back door he helped the militants. In fact, in 1983, due to a decision taken by the Akal Takht, terrorism flared up in Punjab. To suppress the Khalistanists who are raising their heads in Punjab, the Punjab Police has conducted an operation and put a number of Khalistanists in jail. Akal Takht has come into the fray where the Khalistanists are on the run with Sardar Amritpal Singh and the Punjab Police is pulling out all the stops to catch him. The Akal Takht is considered the highest religious institution in the Sikh sect. The Akal Takht has given an ultimatum to the Bhagwant Mann government to release all the jailed people within 24 hours. Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Harpreet Singh criticized

Talking about Delhi: The government was shocked by the report about the China border

Image
New Delhi: There is peace on the border between India and China now, but the report presented during the DGP conference has shocked the government. According to this report, Indian Army is not patrolling 26 points out of the 65 patrolling points of the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The areas from Karakoram Pass to Chumur are not being patrolled by the Indian Army so China can intrude and claim these areas. Areas that are not patrolled become buffer zones, thus weakening India's claim over them. There is a threat that China will gradually enter the region and eventually take over it. China's military is clever in taking advantage of this situation. China keeps a close watch on Indian Army movements by installing cameras on high peaks. Then the infiltration starts as soon as the opportunity arises. Voices of discontent against Yogi Adityanath in UP Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, voices of dissatisfaction against Yogi Adityanath have started to rise. The B
