PM’S REPLY TO DEBATE ON MOTION OF THANKS TO PREZ ADDRESS
‘CONG INSTIGATED MIGRANT
LABOURERS TO BREACH LOCKDOWN’
“The Congress crossed the limit,” PM said. “During
the first wave, when we had lockdown, when WHO was
advising that ‘stay wherever you are’... the Congress at the
Mumbai railway station gave tickets to labourers to go and
spread coronavirus,” he said, alleging this was “paap (sin)”
PM Modi hails India’s Covid fight, says the poor
now have ‘pucca’ houses, gas cylinders, bank
accounts, which is a matter of pride for all Indians.

blames it on party’s ‘arrogance’

New Delhi: While re-
plying to the debate on
Motion of Thanks to
the President’s address
in Lok Sabha on Mon-
day, Prime Minister
Narendra Modi
launched a blistering
attack on the Congress,
saying that the grand
old party had ‘instigat-
ed’ migrant labourers
to breach lockdown
during the first wave of
the pandemic. He fur-
ther said that Congress
has lost countless elec-
tions but that has not
changed the party’s ego.
“During the first
wave of Covid, you
(Congress) gave free
train tickets to migrant
workers to leave Mum-
bai. At the same time,
the Delhi government
told migrant workers to
leave city and provided
them buses. As a result,
Covid spread rapidly in
Punjab, UP and Uttara-
khand,” he said.
New Delhi: Union
Home Minister Amit
Shah on Monday urged
All India Majlis-e-Itte-
hadul Muslimeen chief
Asaduddin Owaisi to
accept Z category secu-
rity offered by the Cen-
tre after a recent attack
on his convoy
.
“Two persons have
been arrested and po-
lice recovered a car and
two pistols. The forensic
team is probing the inci-
dent and the two men
are being questioned by
the Uttar Pradesh Po-
lice,” he said.
Shahfurthersaidthat
sinceOwaisihasrefused
to accept the security
cover, he requests the
AIMIM MP to accept the
security given to him by
the central government.
“He has been provid-
ed with Z category
CRPF security cover on
an all India basis along
with a bullet proof car
in Delhi,” Shah said.
During pandemic, the
country took a big deci-
sion to save small farm-
ers from difficulties. Peo-
ple who have hatred to-
wards small farmers,
have no right to do poli-
tics in name of farmers..
Narendra Modi, Prime Minister
PM: CONG LEADER OF
TUKDE TUKDE GANG
HANDLING INFLATION
PRIMARY AIM: MODI
OWAISI REFUSES
SECURITY, AGAIN
Calling Congress the
‘leader of the tukde tukde
gang’, Modi said, “Con-
gress attempted to hurt Ta-
mil sentiments…I want to
salute Tamil Nadu citizens
who lined the streets for
hours to pay tribute to CDS
Gen Bipin Rawat. Congress
policy is to “divide and
rule”. It has become leader
of ‘tukde tukde gang’.”
In five years of Congress
government, there was
double digit inflation in
country. The government
accepted the inflation was
out of control. Congress
leaders were insensitive
towards inflation. Handling
inflation was our primary
aim. During they years
2014-2020, the inflation
rate was below 5 per cent.
AIMIM chief Asaduddin
Owaisi on Monday again
refused to accept Z cat-
egory security offered by
the Centre after a recent
attack on his convoy. “I
want to appeal to the Un-
ion home minister that
I don’t want Z security.
My life is not as precious
as that of those 22
people who died during
the CAA Protest in Uttar
Pradesh,” Owaisi said.
This came after Union
home minister Amit
Shah urged him to ac-
cept Z category security.

ies estimated to have been dumped in the river
Ganga is not available.”
The Centre has decided to introduce a postal

proven right. DP Jaroli
had given a statement
that paper was leaked

age.
“I will go to the SOG

FINALLY RAHUL
BITES THE BULLET,
SHOWS NAVJOT
SIDHU HIS PLACE
ahul Gandhi has fi-
nally bitten the Pun-
jab bullet. On a visit
to the state on Sun-
day, he declared the
incumbent Chief Minister
Charanjit Singh Channi as the
Congress party’s CM face for the
forthcoming Assembly elec-
tions. Before arriving at the de-
cision Congress was uncertain
of Navjot Singh Sidhu’s reac-
tion to the choice. The Punjab
Congress president was eyeing
the nomination for himself and
won’t take the snub lying down.
Rahul Gandhi’s courage must
bepraisedasSidhuhadbeendefi-
ant towards the party leadership

er of Capt. Amarinder Singh.
SidhuwasunhappywhenChanni

and even publicly criticised the
CM. Sidhu openly displayed his

Whatever Sidhu might do next is

By taming Sidhu the Congress

R
he UK govern-
ment recently an-
nounced a dra-
matic U-turn on
the COVID vac-
cine mandate for healthcare
workers, originally sched-
uled to take effect on April 1
2022. Health or social care
staff will no longer need to
provide proof of vaccination
to stay employed. The reason,
as health secretary Sajid
Javid made clear, is that “it is
no longer proportionate”.
There are several reasons
why it was the right decision
at this point to scrap the man-
date. Most notably, omicron
causes less severe disease
than other coronavirus vari-
ants; many healthcare work-
ers have already had the vi-
rus (potentially giving them
immunity equivalent to vac-
cine); vaccines are not as ef-
fective at preventing re-infec-
tion of omicron; and less re-
strictive alternatives are
available.
But the question remains:
what does this imply for vac-
cine mandates more gener-
ally? In a Twitter thread, for-
mer UK health secretary Jer-
emy Hunt has expressed
concerns that the U-turn will
make it harder to implement
vaccine mandates in future.
This might be true politically
,
but ethically
, it doesn’t follow.
The ethical principle that
justifies some forms of man-
datory vaccination of health
professionals remains: The
have a fundamental duty to
minimise risk of harm to
patients. One reason provid-
ed for U-turn is fear of criti-
cal staff shortages. But that
would not necessarily apply
if staffing problems in NHS
are addressed. Ethical princi-
ples aren’t relative, but what
course of action they pre-
scribe depends on facts.
While U-turn on COVID vac-
cine mandate was ethically
justified, we shouldn’t rule
out mandates altogether.

T
AMILLIONASPIRANTS!
or the last three years, over a
million aspirants have taken
the Civil Services Examina-
tion (CSE) application form
from the Union Public Ser-
vice Commission (UPSC),
and about fifty percent of
them actually sat for the Pre-
liminary qualifying exam.
(Prelims) The vast drop in
numbers is on account of the
limitation on the number of
attempts, and if the prepara-
tion for the Prelims is not up
to the mark, aspirants avoid
taking the exam as it counts
as an attempt whereas filling
of the form is not. While the
general category can take up
to six attempts, aspirants
from the Other Backward
Castes (OBC) can take nine
attempts till they reach thir-
ty-five years of age and there
is no limit to the number of
attempts by Scheduled Caste
and Schedule Tribe candi-
dates till the age of thirty-
seven.
Of these half a million
candidates, just about ten
thousand qualify for the
‘mains’ exam. One fourth
will make it to the interview
stage, and of eight hundred
odd candidates who make it
to the final ‘merit list, less
than one fifth will be offered
a placement in the Indian Ad-
ministrative Service. Based
on their merit and prefer-
ence, candidates opt for the
two All India Services, the
IAS and the IPS, and sixteen
central services including
the Indian Foreign service,
and five group B civil servic-
es (Armed Forces Headquar-
ters Civilian Service, and the
Delhi and Puducherry Civil
and Police services). It may
bementionedthatthe‘mains’
for the third All India ser-
vice, the Indian Forest Ser-
vice is held separately, and
from 2022, the Railway ser-
vices have requested the
UPSC to conduct an examina-
tion for the two hundred odd
vacancies in all the Railway
services. In addition to all
the Group A services selected
through the CSE, officers of
the Forest and Economic Ser-
vice also come together for
the Foundation course which
is held at the LBS National
Academy of Administration.
The Foundation Course:
‘Sheelam Param Bhushan-
am’: Character is the Su-
preme embellishment
This is drawn from Bhar-
trhari Nitisaktam, and the
English translation of the
Shloka reads ‘Affluence is
adorned by goodness, valour
by not boasting, knowledge
by control of the senses,
scholarship by modesty,
wealth by giving to the de-
serving, tapas by the absence
of anger, power by forgive-
ness, and Dharma by truth.
Character is the Supreme
embellishment’
This point is driven home
to all those who enter the por-
tals of this institution as
prior to their selection, each
individual officer trainee has
put in several months, (in
some cases years) of hard
work, and their academic
merit, rigour and commit-
ment have been certified by
the UPSC. Many become lo-
cal celebrities as their ac-
complishment is feted by
families, friends, all educa-
tional institutions they stud-
ied in, and of course the
coaching centres. Their mug-
shots appear in advertise-
ments, and many get thou-
sands of followers on their
social media pages. They
have achieved a major mile-
stone, but is this an end in
itself, or a means to an end?
In this context, it is impor-
tant to drive home the points
in the above verse, especially
- non-boasting, modesty and
sharing- with emphasis on
‘character building.’ Nor-
mally, the course Team as
well as the Director of the
Academy refer to this dictum
in the inaugural program of
a Foundation course.
Officer Trainees are
briefed about the core values
of the Academy: Integrity,
Respect, Professionalism,
collaboration and last but not
the least, service to the un-
derprivileged. Integrity is
much more than financial
integrity – it includes cour-
age of conviction and speak-
ing Truth to Power. In the
context of Public Service,
‘Respect’ stands for embrac-
ing the diversity of language,
religion, caste, gender, age,
region, and socio-economic
status. ‘Professionalism’ is
the key element – for unless
civil servants master the stat-
ute, rules, and procedure,
they would cut a sorry figure.
The Academy also expects
that civil servants will seek
‘Partnerships’ and collabora-
tions with all the three tiers
of governance, civil society,
corporate, academia as well
as the legislative and judicial
arms of the government: the
ultimate objective being to
ensure inclusion- financial,
legal, academic, social, phys-
ical - for most underprivi-
leged persons.

India, if you do not have a

Patna: There is abso-
lutely no coordination
between the four NDA
parties in Bihar, and on
the other hand, the har-
mony between Rashtri-
ya Janata Dal and Con-
gress is also deteriorat-
ing. Last year, both the
parties had fielded dif-
ferent candidates in the
by-elections to two as-
sembly seats. At the
same time the leaders of
boththepartieshadsaid
that the alliance was
broken and now both
will fight separately in
the next elections. But
preparations were made
to fight with both in the
Legislative Council elec-
tions to be held for 24
seats of the Legislative
Council. Initial talks
were also held between
the two parties. But now
both are opposing each
other and preparing to
fight separately
.
State Congress presi-
dent Madan Mohan Jha
has said that Congress
has no problem in con-
testing all the seats. In
fact, three or four addi-
tional seats were being
given to the Congress by
the RJD. In that too RJD
wastalkingaboutgiving
both the seat and the
candidateof theirchoice
which angered the Con-
gress leaders. The RJD
had given a seat of its
choice to the CPI. But
faced‘problem’ingiving
seat to Congress. The
party had already an-
nounced to contest 20
seats and also declared
candidates for most of
the seats. This has in-
creased the dispute be-
tween the two parties.
Elections to five Rajya
Sabha seats are also to
be held in the next two
months. There will be
morecontroversyatthat
time. Congress will de-
mand one seat. On the
other hand RJD has
been able to win two
seats only on the
strength of its MLAs.

Rishikesh-Karanprayag railway line is a big example of how the brakes on development were removed after the BJP came to power: Modi
New Delhi: Prime Min-
ister Narendra Modi on
Monday launched a
scathing attack on the
Congress,sayingthatthe
Oppositionpartyhadled
a ‘double-brake’ govern-
ment previ-
ously
. PM
Modi as-
s e r t e d
that the
p r ev i o u s
Congress dis-
pensation stalled devel-
opment works in Uttara-
khand.
“Rishikesh-Karan-
prayag railway line is a
big example of how the
brakes on development
were removed after the
BJP came to power. The
work on this project was
to be started a decade
ago. However, the pre-
cedinggovernmentonly
put brakes on it. From
2011 to 2014, they (Con-
gress) were ruling at the
Centre and State level,
putting in place a ‘dou-
ble-brake’government,”
Prime Minister said
while virtually address-
ing voters of Dehradun
and Haridwar during
‘Vijay Sankalp Sabha’
today ahead of Uttara-
khand Assembly polls.
Prime Minister fur-
ther said that the previ-
ous government in
about 3-4 years had only
spent Rs 4 crore on such
a big project, which has
enormous importance
for the state.
“In 2014, when you
gavemetheopportunity
to serve you at the Cen-
tre, we removed the
brake. We started work
ontheRishikesh-Karan-
prayag railway line. We
used to push the work
from Delhi, but brakes
were applied from Deh-
radun. In 2017, when Ut-
tarakhand got a double-
engine government,
thereafter Rs 5,500 crore
have been spent,” Prime
Minister said.
PM Modi also point-
ed out that the work on
the Delhi-Dehradun
highway had started
during the tenure of
former Prime Minister
Atal Bihari Vajpayee in
2000 when Uttara-
khand was carved out
of Uttar Pradesh.
“But Congress sub-
sequently left the work
languishing on the
grounds that the UP
government hadn’t
provided the necessary
clearances. But the fact
is that the Congress
headed government at
the Centre and its al-
lies were in power in
Lucknow. The project
was, however, complet-
ed when BJP’s double-
engine government
came to power at Cen-
tre and Dehradun,” PM
Modi said. —ANI

Chandigarh: Congress
state president Navjot
Singh Sidhu has been
out of the race for the
chief minister's post
from Congress. He has
been told that Charanjit
SinghChanniwillbethe
chief ministerial candi-
datefromtheparty'sside
and the party will con-
test the assembly elec-
tions on his face.
Accordingtoinformed
Congress sources, ac-
cording to the survey
conducted by the party
and the report of social
media, Channi has got
the maximum votes and
Sidhu has lagged far be-
hind him, although not
as backward as the Aam
Aadmi Party had shown
in its survey
. AAP had
released the figures of
Bhagwant Mann and
Sidhu and said that
Mannwaslikedby93per
cent people and Sidhu by
3.6 per cent. In the Con-
gress poll, Sidhu is seen
getting double votes.
However, the Con-
gress high command
had already made up its
mind to announce
Channi's name. When
Rahul Gandhi an-
nounced to declare the
face of CM and the par-
ty started the survey,
the initial report was in
favor of Channi. That's
when the party decided
to field him from two
places so that the party
could take maximum
advantage of the bet
that the party had made
by making a Dalit, the
Chief Minister.
It is nonsense, what
AAP leaders are saying
that Channi was losing
from Chamkaur Sahib,
hence he has been field-
ed from Bhadaur seat as
well. Remember how
Narendra Modi, who
was contesting as the
primeministerialcandi-
date for the first time,
also contested from both
Gujarat and Uttar
Pradesh. He was not los-

CITING DEMOCRACY AT STAKE
2 BJP MLAs in
Tripura resign
from Assembly
Agartala: Two
MLAs from the rul-
ing BJP in Tripura
— Sudip Roy Barman
and Ashish Kumar
Saha — resigned
from the Assembly as
well as from the pri-
mary membership of
the party on Monday
saying democracy is
at stake in the state
under the BJP
.
Five-term MLA
Roy Barman, who
was dropped from
the post of health
minister in 2019, and
Saha submitted their
resignation papers to
Speaker Ratan
Chakraborty and
said they would end
the “conspiracy” to
suppress the voice of
the public under the
current regime.
Their resignation
comes months after
BJP MLA Ashish Ku-
mar Das left the par-
ty alleging misrule
and joined the Trina-
mool Congress.
Emerging from the
Assembly this after-
noon, Roy Barman
told reporters, “We
have heaved a sigh of
relief that we re-
signed, because this
government has mis-
erably failed to deliv-
er, live up to expecta-
tions. In this govern-
ment, only one man’s
voice is heard or his
orders are carried
out. No legislature,
no minister can exer-
cise their authority
or power. —PTI

Moni Sharma
New Delhi: The lead-
ers who went from Con-
gress to BJP after de-
fecting have started
‘learning’ lessons. A
strong lesson has been
learned in Manipur, the
impact of which will be
visible across the coun-
try
. In Manipur, 28 Con-
gress MLAs had won in
the last assembly elec-
tions, out of which 16
switched sides to the
BJP. This time in the as-
sembly elections, BJP
has given tickets to only
10 of them and as a re-
sult the six people
whose tickets have been
cut are getting restless.
Congress is also not giv-
ing them any value.
Keep in mind that in the
states where the gov-
ernment was formed
due to the defection of
the Congress and by-
elections were held on
the seats of the defect-
ing MLAs, the defecting
MLAs were taken care
of, but in other places it
did not happen.
This is the reason
that even in Goa, lead-
ers who left Congress
and joined BJP are re-
turning home. They
had already felt that
BJP would not give tick-
et, so they turned to
Congress or Trinamool
Congress. This has also
been proved from Ma-
nipur. Therefore, it is
not a mere coincidence
that in the states where
the Congress base is
still strong, the home-
coming of the defecting
MLAs and leaders has
started. An informed
Congress leader says
that the developments
in Manipur and Goa
have taught a lesson to
the Congress leaders
and they will think a
hundred times before
joining the BJP.
This is proof of the
lesson learned by the
Congress leaders that
many of them, from Ut-
tarakhand, have re-
turned ‘home’. Al-
though Kishor Upad-
hyay, a former party
president, went to the
BJP in the meantime
and the family of for-
mer Chief Minister Vi-
jay Bahuguna is still in
the BJP, but Harak Sin-
gh Rawat returned
home. Before Rawat,
Yashpal Arya also left
the ministerial post and
returned to the Con-
gress. Yashpal and his
MLA son both returned
to the Congress.
On the other hand, in
a big development in
Jharkhand, two former
Congress presidents
have returned back to
the party
.
Former state presi-
dent of Congress Sukh-
dev Bhagat had
switched to the BJP just
before the 2019 assem-
bly elections. In April-
May, he contested the
Lok Sabha elections
from the Congress but
switched to the BJP be-
fore the December as-
sembly elections. Sukh-
dev Bhagat, a former
Jharkhand Public Ser-
vice officer, is a strong
leader and his wife is
also the mayor of Lo-
hardaga.
Along with him, an-
other former president
Pradeep Balmuchu has
also returned to the
Congress. However, it is
possible that the big
faces of the party may
defect and achieve
something for them-
selves, but the way BJP
is cutting tickets, a
large number of Con-
gress MLAs and other
leaders have learned a
big lesson.
BJP’S LESSON TO CONGRESS LEADERS
New Delhi: The Centre
on Monday told the Su-
preme Court that Aad-
haar card is not manda-
tory for registration on
CoWIN portal for Cov-
id-19 vaccination.
A Bench of Justices
DY Chandrachud and
Surya Kant was in-
formed by the Ministry
of Health and Family
Welfare that one of the

including passport,
driving licence, PAN
card, voter’s card, ration

The SC took note of
the submission and dis-
posed of a plea filed by
SiddharthshankarShar-
ma who claimed that
Aadhaarwasbeingman-
datorily insisted upon

nation on CoWIN portal.
“Counsel for Union
submits that about 87
lakh people without ID

was denied vaccination
for non production of

New Delhi: The Nation-
al Investigation Agency
(NIA) on Monday filed a
caseagainstunderworld
don Dawood Ibrahim
and others under vari-
ous sections of the Un-
lawful Activities Pre-
vention Act.
Now the elite probe
agency will look into
the cases pertaining to
the D-company
.
Sources have con-
firmed that the Union
home ministry has giv-
en them approval to
start a thorough probe.
An NIA official told
IANS that the names of
Dawood Ibrahim and
his aides have been
mentioned in the FIR
filed by the NIA.
The official said for
quite a long time Da-
wood had been spread-
ing terror activities
across India. He has
also pumped money
through Hawala chan-
nels to financially help
those who are working
at his behest to create
unrest across India.
The agencies have
been keeping a close eye
on the activities of the
D-company and have
found that in the past
they have recruited peo-
ple across India to cre-
ate riot-like situations.
They are promoting
anti-national activities
and are also trying to
create rifts between dif-
ferent religious groups.
Earlier, a lot of in-
formation was shared
with us regarding the
involvement of Dawood
in a lot of anti-national
activities that took
place across In-
dia. He is re-
cruiting peo-
ple in India
and is finan-
cially and lo-
gistically help-
ing them to
create a
r i o t -
like situation. Different
social media platforms
are being used by them
to communicate. We in-
tercepted a few of them
and came to know that
a deep-rooted conspira-
cy was being hatched.
Now on the basis of the
materials we have
lodged an FIR against
Dawood and D-compa-
ny
, said the NIA official
wishing anonymity
.
NIA Public Relations
Officer Sanjukta only
confirmed that a case
was lodged against the

PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS FAILED TO PROVIDE
BLUEPRINT FOR FUTURE, SAYS ANAND SHARMA
New Delhi: Congress
leader Anand Sharma on

It is expected from the

the real state of the coun-

parliament. Achievements
of the government are
acknowledged and the
country is made aware of
the challenges. Blueprint
of the future is presented.
It failed to do so, Sharma
said in Rajya Sabha. This
is not sarcasm but who-
ever wrote it, did injustice
to the President, he said.
This challenges the intel-
ligence of the people and
negates the difficult situ-

GEHLOT LAMBASTS MLAs FOR
SLACKNESS, SAYS ‘BE ACTIVE’
Merely a fraction of MLAs get booklets printed even after CM’s directions
Yogesh Sharma
Jaipur: The Congress
‘Chintan Shivir’ wit-
nessed a ‘hard beating’,
albeit a verbal one, from
the Chief Minister to all
the legislators partici-
pating in the ‘Shivir’ as
the issue of respective
‘achievement booklets’
came to the fore. Gehlot
wasdisappointedthatin
spite of him directing
MLAs to get a booklet
published for the works
done in their respective
constituencies and dis-
tribute the said booklets
to the people in the as-
sembly constituencies,
majority of MLAs
stayedawayfromfollow-
ing CM’s directions.
The purpose of CM’s
direction was effective
propaganda of govt’s
various schemes and
achievements. And that
is why they received a
‘dressing-down’ from
CM. However, at the
start of the meet, a two
minute silence was ob-
served in memory of
Lata Mangeshkar.
Scolding the MLAs,
Gehlot, who appeared to
be like a teacher scold-
ing students over not
finishing their home-
work, said, “I gave what
the MLAs asked for and
I will give whatever you
ask for in this budget.
You all have to return
victorious from your re-
spective areas but for
this you all have to work
hard. BJP does propa-
ganda without working
but we are not able to
spread propaganda de-
spite working our best.
The battle of 2023 has to
be fought with full
strength and we have to
bring back Congress
rule. I want to come vic-
torious no matter what
happens,” a visibly
miffed Gehlot said.
Interestingly, during
the meet, Gehlot asked
the MLAs for the ac-
count of the last 3
years.. Actually for a
long time, MLAs have
been asking for a place
in the cabinet but in the
meeting CM Gehlot ap-
peared in a different

First India Bureau
Jaipur: The Police
Headquarters (PHQ)
has completed work on
the Rajasthan Control
of Organised Crime Bill
after examining the
laws or other states and
if the law is implement-
ed, criminals involved
in organized crime will
have to face strong ac-
tion. The Raj govt is con-
templating a move to
bring legislation on the
lines of Maharashtra,
Gujarat and Delhi to
curb organised crime.
ADG Crime Ravi
Prakash Meharda
said the law will be so
strong that the miscre-
ants will not get bail
easily and after the ar-
rest, the accused will
have to be in jail for at
least three years and pa-
role will not be available
before three years. The
police will have the pow-
er to attach the property
of the arrested miscre-
ants under this act.
The graph of organ-
ized crime has in-
creased in the state in
the last few years. Ac-
cording to the State
Crime Record Bureau,
youth are moving to-
wards organized crime
in large numbers, in
such a situation, if such
an act is implemented,
this will create fear
among the miscreants
and will help control the
crime.

ing her first meeting
through video-confer-
encing at the Secretari-
at on Monday, directed
the Divisional Commis-
sioners, Collectors and
Superintendents of Po-
lice to strengthen the
public service delivery
and address the com-
mon peoples’ problems
on the spot through in-
novative steps.
Sharma said that the
District Collectors and
Superintendents of Po-
lice must set an example
of good governance by
being sensitive towards
the common man. She
also instructed for time-
ly disposal of the cases
through Jansunwai and
Sampark portal. “If the
District Collectors and
the Superintendents of
Police will resolve the
cases at their respective
levels, then the system
at the lower level will
automatically im-
prove,” she said.
Sharma directed the
officials to monitor the
state government’s flag-
ship schemes, budget,
and public announce-
ments. She said that the
welfare schemes must
reach the deserving.
She further also
stressed on improving
service delivery by pro-
moting education,
health, women empow-
erment, proper develop-
ment of children and
digital technology

Jaipur: Rajasthan will
soon acquire a gift in the
form of a Constitution
Club on Wednesday as
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot will lay the foun-
dation stone of this am-
bitious project of the
Rajasthan Housing
Board. All preparations
have been completed for
the upcoming pro-
gramme.
CM Gehlot’s vision of
building a luxurious
Constitution Club in
State Capital Jaipur will
now be fulfilled as the
RHB, which has com-
pleted and started many
major projects, has been
given the responsibility
of this ambitious pro-
ject.
RHB getting the work
of construction of the
Constitution Club, after
the MLA housing pro-
ject, proves that now the
Housing Board has the
best credibility to com-
plete the project on time
with quality
. The con-
struction of this club
was announced by CM
Gehlot Budget-2021-22
and even at the time of
thefoundationstonelay-
ing of the MLA housing
project, CM Gehlot said
that there is a need for a
Constitution Club in
Jaipuralso,onethelines
of one situated in Delhi.
RHB has got Club’s
design approved from
theCabinetsub-commit-
tee. Notably
, work of the
Club will be completed
within 18 months, that
is, this important pro-
ject will be completed in
the present government
itself. The way the Ra-
jasthan Housing Board
has prepared the plan
for its construction is
surely going to add to
the charm of Jaipur.

Irked with Cong’s 3yrs’ rule, BJP indulging in protests ‘gimmicks’: CM
From P1…
As before, the eligibili-
ty test will be conduct-
ed whose validity will
be lifelong. Subject wise
separate exams will be
conducted. After the
eligibility test, there
will be a recruitment
test and the exam may
be held by the month of
August this year.
Notably, the report of
the committee headed
by Justice Vyas will
come by March 15 after
which the date of ex-
amination will be de-
cided upon. Gehlot also
asserted that the gov-
ernment will bring a
strict law in the assem-
bly session.
He said that Special
Operations Group
(SOG) is investigating
the discrepancies in the
REET exam. The state
government will ensure
justice to the youth by
punishing every guilty,
he stressed.
REET Level-2 exam is
conducted for selection
of teachers to
teach students
Class 6 to 8.
“We are not
happy with
the decision to
cancel the
exam as future
of lakhs of
youths is
associated.”The kind of
atmosphere created is
not good for the state.
We have taken this deci-
sion for the future of
the children,” the chief
minister said.
But, the state govern-
ment had to take the de-
cision to cancel the
exam due to the
protests of
the BJP
held to
“ m a l i g n
the state
government”, he said.
The BJP was indulging
in protests “gimmicks”
on the directions of the
central government, he
further alleged. The
Chief Minister said that
the BJP has become
frustrated with the Con-
gress rule of three
years. “Now even the
BJP high command is
reprimanding the state
unit. The general public
is happy with our deci-
sions. Every decision,
whether it was regard-
ing corona or this one,
has been wonderful.
BJP is in the business of
making non-issue into
an issue. The papers of
recruitment examina-
tions are being leaked
all over the country
.
Need to see why papers
are leaking? It should be
stopped. Paper leaking
gang is active all over
the country
.”
Gehlot said that the
situation is worrying.
“Post inflation, the em-
ployment situation re-
mains explosive. Train
was set on fire in Bihar
which happened after
many years. This is not
a good sign for the gov-
ernments. Youth is not
getting job, investment
is not coming. How will
anyone get a job in pri-
vate sector when invest-
ment does not come. We
are trying to give job in
government and private
sector,” he said.
Congress state presi-
dent Govind Singh Do-
tasra said that none of
his family members
passed in REET. “If
someone proves the
charges against me,
then neither me, nor
anyone from my family
will do politics for the
rest of my life. 13 people
in my family took the
exam and not a single
one passed. Rajya Sabha
MP Kirodi Lal Meena is
claiming that Minister
Subhash Garg’s PSO
has passed in the REET
exam. However, he has
got 29 marks out of 150.
Kirodi is lying.”
Interestingly, upon
this Gehlot passed a re-
mark and said, “Kirodi
seems to know all the
links. Shouldn’t then, it
be investigated how the
BJP leaders know eve-
rything? Are they con-
nected with these
gangs,” Gehlot ques-
tioned.
RHB has geared
up to complete
the mega project
in merely 18
months
We should be sensitive and compas-
sionate enough to help people resolve
their problems, especially work to-
wards empowering the women and the weak-
er sections of the society and make them feel
that the administration stands by them.
More more people should be listened to and
their problems should be resolved quickly
with a sense of accountability.

This step of the Chief Minister of an all-rounded government, is
just a failed attempt to save the big people involved in this rig-
ging. Why did this rigging happen? when will the big criminals
be exposed and when will efforts be made to punish them? Will
the Chief Minister be able to morally answer this question?

Kota: Kota will get a
full-fledged Passport
Seva Kendra (PSK)
with the efforts of Lok
Sabha speaker and Ko-
ta-Bundi MP Om Birla.
This will facilitate
applicants from nearly
a dozen districts.
After deciding to
open the office in Kota,
the ministry of exter-
nal affairs has expe-
dited the process for
opening of the office.
On July 26 last year,
External Affairs Min-
ister S. Jaishankar had
met Lok Sabha Speaker
Birla in his office. Dur-
ing this, Speaker Birla
had expressed the need
to start a Passport Seva
Kendra in Kota. The
Minister had assured
that he would work on
it on priority.
Now the Ministry
has asked the Regional
Passport Office located
in Jaipur to complete
the necessary formali-
ties at the earliest to
start the Passport Seva
Kendra in Kota.
At present, Post Of-
fice Passport Seva Ken-
dra (POPSK) is operat-
ing in the Head Post
Office located at
Nayapura in Kota. It
takes a long time to
process the applica-
tion.
There is also no facil-
ity to get ‘Tatkal’ pass-
ports here and people
have to go to Jaipur
fort eh same.
Along with Kota, the
people of Bundi,
Baran, Jhalawar, Chit-
torgarh, Bhilwara,
Udaipur, Rajsamand,
Sawai Madhopur,
Pratapgarh, Dungar-
pur will be benefited
from it.

or those who
swear by the
charisma of
fashion, any
discussion on
the topic is in-
c o m p l e t e
without the men-
tion of Mohit Falod.
This famous Jaipur
based designer’s
success story has
humble beginnings.
Today
, Mohit Falod is rec-
ognised as the man who rede-
fined the realm of fashion by
incorporating just the right
amount of boldness into eve-
ry design to make it stand
out from the crowd.
Being responsible
for the success
of some of the
most loved
a n d
ex-
clusive collections, Falod con-
tinues to rule the industry
with his very own fashion la-
bel.
Centred on the belief of cre-
ating unique styles that tend
to become a reflection of your
personality, every design sold
under the label of Mohit Fal-
od is a display of sheer crea-
tive brilliance.
For the past two and a half
decades, Falod has keenly fo-
cused on his handcrafted crea-
tions while maintaining their
lightness and focusing on the
ease of wear for brides
grooms on their special day.
Never compromising on the
garment’s movement and flu-
idity, he has found ways to
work with traditional and
modern techniques to fabri-
cate these veritable pieces of
art in motion.
Talking about his collec-
tion, Mohit said, “The regalia
collection is purely inspired
by nature and the Rajputana
array. We have experimented
with a wide range of jewels,
including polkas and semi-
precious stones. There has
been a beautiful utilisation of
real gold and silver gotas
and threads, semi-pre-
cious stones, polkis,
and turquoise with an inter-
play of fabrics.” He further
added, “I can’t be more excit-
ed for the grand show to be
held in Dubai. Each attire has
been meticulously made to
make one feel like a regal In-
dian bride. It’s an amalgama-
tion of history, nature, cus-
toms, and monarchy that
makes the person feel both
real and mystical.”
Falod has also dropped a
few hints through his recent
collaboration with Badshah
regarding how grand this col-
lection is going to
be!

As we celebrate
Propose Day today,
a perfect day for
singles to confess
their love to their
crush and to
propose with
fascinating flowers
and attractive
presents. It is also
special for couples
who, on a romantic
date, can take
their beloved and
recall the day and
time when their
romantic journey
began! City First
spoke to a few
lovebirds of every
age to know how
they plan on
making their
partners or ‘to be
better half’ feel
special!
I’m planning to pro-
pose to my girl with
a large bouquet of
red roses. We both share a
moment that involved red
roses and now it’s some-
thing a little more special
for us. I truly fall in love
with her each day. She is
wonderful and I can’t wait
to see the look on her face!

hat is love?
That’s a question
that we have all
grappled with
within our lives
at some point or
the other. It excites phi-
losophers, who dive into
its deep complexities
and hope to describe
our abstract longing for
a particular person.
Love has a powerful ef-
fect on us, one that we
cannot deny. If love
could be dictated or cho-
sen; if it could be con-
tained in a few words or
a mathematical equa-
tion, it would lose its
special place. And yet
we try. Our phones are
cluttered with numer-
ous dating apps and
their algorithms, all
trying to capture love.
But it is notoriously dif-
ficult to find.
As comes February,
people look forward to
Valentine’s Day with
anticipation. The day is
difficult to ignore, irre-
spective of whether you
are a romantic or a cyn-
ic. However, every day
of the week leading up
to Feb 14 also holds a lot
of significance. The
week starts on Febru-
ary 7 and ends on Febru-
ary 14. It starts with
Rose Day, followed by
Propose Day, Chocolate
Day
, Teddy Day
, Promise
Day, Hug Day, Kiss Day,
and culminates in Val-
entine’s Day.
Proposal Day is cele-
brated by lovers on Feb
8 every year. On this day
,
couples or budding lov-
ers express their feeling
and affection for each
other. Most of you have
been waiting for this
day to say your heart
out to your potential
boyfriend or girlfriend.
This day signifies prom-
ise and togetherness
and gives you a chance
to ask your partner for
their presence in your
life, forever.

LOVEISIN
THEAIR!
Each day is special
when you are with
the right person. I
have been married to my
wife, Anita for more than
25 years. And it wouldn’t
be a lie if I say that I still
feel it’s our honeymoon pe-
riod. On this propose day,
I would cherish our old
times and proudly express
what she means to me.
—SHAILESH TAMBI, RAJ
I’m gonna propose
to my cursh through
an adorable motor-
cycle themed party.
He loves bikes and I have
booked us a cafe. It’s all
motocycle themed and all
the gifts and games and
all that will be motocycle
themed as well. I hope he
understands how much he
means to me.
—SAKSHI SHARMA, UP
How beautiful will it
be to take Isha who I
adore a lot, on a ro-
mantic date. I’m planning
to take her to the beach.
I would love to propose
at such a lovely evening
under the sky filled with
brilliant colours, to cherish
the moment and kiss her
as the sunsets. A day worth
remembering.
—ASHWANI SEKHAR, DELHI
—ASHU SAINI, RAJ
On Propose Day I will
take my sweetheart
on a bike ride. We
will sit with our friends
near a camp fire and then
I will get on one knee and
propose to her! She won’t
even see it coming. It’s
going to be super cute and
I’m confident I’ll sweep her
off her feet! The day would
be so memorable.
