(My own request a week ago attached). GOI should put lives ahead of politics send vaccines! TOP TWEET UJJAWALA 2.0 IS PM’S TRUMP CARD BEFORE UP POLLS rime Minister Nar- endra Modi’s Ujjwala scheme under which free LPG cylinders were provided to poor households worked won- ders for the BJP in the 2017 UP assembly elections. In the first year of its launch on May 1, 2016, 2.2 crore cylinders were distrib- uted against a target of 1.5 crore. By October 2017, a total of 3 crore cylinders were distribut- ed, a bulk of which went to women belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The scheme launched from Bal- lia came as a boon to below pov- erty line families and made cooking smoke-free for them. On Tuesday , the Prime Minis- ter launched Ujjwala 2.0, about seven months ahead of 2022 elections. The eye is obviously on Bundelkhand as the scheme was launched from Mahoba. It is expected to have an equally positive impact on BJP’s prospects in UP as it targets women voters by making life easy for them. Other political parties will find it diffi- cult to counter this poll-winning move by the Prime Minister. P olitical parties have a penchant to keep candidates with clean image out of politics, preferring those with criminal antecedents in- stead. Efforts were being made for the last several years to discourage all the political parties from field- ing criminals in elections. While the results have been encouraging, the practice has not completely stopped. The Supreme Court has now cracked the whip to ensure that the polity remained clean. On Tuesday a Supreme Court Bench headed by Chief Justice NV Ramana said that state governments cannot withdraw criminal cases against sitting MPs and MLAs without prior sanctions from their respective high courts. The statement was based on a report submitted by amicus curiae Vi- jay Hansaria. The report said that there has been a 17 per cent jump in criminal cases pending against sitting and former MPs and MLAs in less than two years. Governments in most states, including Uttar Pradesh, have no qualms about withdrawing criminal cases against their MPs and MLAs. The amicus curiae’s report said that UP seeks to withdraw 76 cases against BJP MLAs, including those accused in Muzaffarnagar riots. Karnataka wants to ex- onerate 61 legislators. Such legislators are an asset for a party in election season. In another attempt to de- criminalize politics, a Bench of Justices Rohinton Fali Na- riman and BR Gavai imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh and Rs 5 lakhs on nine political parties, including the Congress, BJP and CPM, for “not making public criminal records of their candidates”. The apex court and Elec- tion Commission alone can’t cleanse the system. We, the voters, should join this clean- liness drive. RIDDING POLITICS OF CRIMINAL ELEMENTS Governments in most states, including Uttar Pradesh, have no qualms about withdrawing criminal cases against their MPs and MLAs P Promoted by First India News International Pvt. Ltd. nable to prevent the USA from using its air space for bombing the aggressive Tali- ban forces, Pakistan army under its chief Qamar Javed Bajwa takes a calculated decision to facilitate the rebels with surface to air missiles (SAM) being obtained from China. Taliban is being given intensive training for using the high-tech system. Bajwa is confident that since almost 60 percent of the army soldiers have already been Talibanized, he could go ahead with his plans to support the Afghan rebels. It wouldalsoenablehimtocrush his peers in the armed forces as well as to muzzle the saner advice of the knowledgeable sections of the society comprising former diplomats, political analysts and others. During his recent visit to PeshawarwiththePrimeMin- ister,ImranKhan,theTaliban were reportedly assured that as soon as they occupy major cities, Pakistan would accord recognition to the Afghan Tal- iban as the legitimate rulers of Afghanistan. China would soon follow its ally . Earlier, Pakistan had recognized the Taliban government during 1996-2001 and had allowed its embassy in Islamabad. It had also ac- cepted them as the legitimate rulers of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Earlier, American intelligence agencies have been able to trace the existence of as many as 100 stingers with the rebel forces; but following the high-level visit of the Taliban delegation to China, more high-tech SAM are being inducted to augment its capacity to challenge US bombers. In 2020, as many as two jests were downed by the rebel forces, though Ameri- can confirmed that only one of its planes had crashed in eastern Afghanistan near Ghazni. The American officer, Col Sonny Leggett stated: “While the cause of the crash is under investigation, there are no indications the crash wascausedbyenemyfire.”He also denied the Taliban’s claim that an additional aircraft too had crashed. The Americans had also rejected the widely reported news of the downing of the aircraft in the social media about a Bombardier E-11A - the type of jet used by the US Air Force for electronic surveillance over Afghanistan.The Afghan authorities in Kabul had initially said the crashed plane belonged to state- owned airline Ariana, but the company quickly issued a rebuttal that s all its planes were accounted for. NO DEARTH OF WEAPONS It is estimated that the Chi- nese authorities have decided to dump their surplus weapons in Pakistan and Af- ghanistan. Since China has already embarked upon a massive modernization plan for the next two decades to overtake its military might the US-led western forces. Its present weapons and ammu- nition need to be dumped; and thus Pakistan and Af- ghanistan become the desti- nation for its dated military equipment. In a document available in the public domain, the Chi- nese Communist Party has not defined what it means by its ambition to have a “world- class” military; but it ap- pears that China’s national strategy is to develop a military by mid-century that is equal to—or in some cases superior to—the US military, or that of any other great power that China views as a threat to its sovereignty, security, and development in- terests. The Chinese duplicity is quite known to India. There- fore, India is not surprised by these developments, though a high-level Russian diplo- mat in New Delhi, roman Ba- bushkin, recently stated, “We have got some real experi- ence in Afghanistan..” Vijay Gokhle, a former foreign secretary , in his recently published book, “How Chi- nese Negotiate Game with India”, reveals the game plan Chinese play in the region. However, it was not surpris- ing when he said, “China used its “close connections” with Left parties in India to “build domestic opposition” to the Indo-US nuclear deal between 2007 and 2008. Gokh- le, however, did not share the information about how Chi- na had funded and trained Naga and Mizo insurgents during the sixties and seven- ties. He also exposes how China used the Russians to stall the listing of the Jaish- e-Mohammed chief, Masood Azhar. The Chinese had claimed that Pakistan had reliably assured them that the “JeM was defunct” and that “Masood Azhar had ‘re- tired’”. India obviously did not buy that line. It may be recalled that Gokhale was one of the lead negotiators for the Indian government when Azhar was designated global terrorist at the UNSC in May 2019.

INDIA JAIPUR | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2021 05 www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia For Didi, road to Delhi routes through Assam, Tripura and Meghalaya! Kartikey Dev Singh New Delhi: The thump- ing third time victory in the West Bengal Assem- bly election and its cor- respondoing political momentum with the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has given wings to its supremo Mamata Banerjee’s political aims. Excited by the victory in one state and the defeat of the BJP after a hotly contested election, Didi’s hopes of ‘handling’ the nation from the hallowed Prime Minister’s Office have gained momentum and she knows that she needs more states under her to even come close to achieving her dream. Furthermore,shealso has to ‘contest’ within other Opposition party for her ‘supremacy’ in the Opposition alliance and for this too, she needsmorestategovern- ments under her to enforce herself on the alliance. As they say , might is right in politics. Therefore, Banerjee has now set her eyes on the Eastern states of As- sam,TripuraandMegha- laya. To the uninitiated, thesefarflungstatesmay seem to be of little im- portance, but every one knows,evenasmallstate is nevertheless, a state. And this is why Mamata is looking to form governments here. But dreaming and hoping for something is quite different than the ground reality. So lets talk numbers. TMC’s relevance in Tripura is based on the fact that the BJP ruled state has 2/3 Bengali speaking population, which TMC can appeal to, politically . About 1/4 populationarelocaltrib- al. Furthermore, Tripu- ra and West Bengal have had almost similar political history as the Left (CPM) has ruled both states in the past. But the positives don’t end there. In fact, the current health minister of Tripura Sudeep Roy Burman has his ‘Godfather’ in TMC’s senior leader Mukul Roy, who had defected to BJP and got Roy Bur- man to join BJP. Now, the health minister has initiated a campaign against BJP’s Tripura CM Biplab Dev with other BJP legislators joining forces to remove the Chief Minister. Therefore, Mukul Roy, who rejoined Mamata post WB election results, could now play a crucial role in turning the tide towards TMC. In Meghalaya, the NPP, a party formed by formerLokSabhaspeak- er PA Sangma, is currently ‘managed’ by his son Konrad Sangma, who has formed the gov- ernmentinalliancewith the BJP . Mamata Baner- jeeandherpoliticalman- agers feel that she can bring Sangma with her if she emerges on political horizon of the country .Afterall,Mamatahas been actively involved in politics with PA Sangma for a long time. In Assam, Didi wants to bring firebrand leader Akhil Gogoi with her. It is being said that Go- goi can also merge his party Raijor Dal with Mamata’s party. It should be noted that Akhil Gogoi has won the Assembly elections while in jail and contested the elections in association with the Asom Jatiyata Pari- shad, a party of the All Assam Students Union. He can even bring this party along to further strengthen Mamata. This will give Didi a strong base to start with in Assam. Therefore, along with Bengal, if Mamata’s strategy is successful in these three states of Northeast, then it will strengthen her plan to becomeanationalleader. Mamata Banerjee Growth should have been made decades ago: Modi Launched Ujjwala 2.0 for providing free LPG connections New Delhi: Prime Min- ister Narendra Modi on Tuesday highlighted the work done by his government during the last seven and a half years tenure and said the growth that the country is witnessing should have been made several decades ago. The Prime Minister also said that the country is moving towards fulfilling the dream of a better life for people as basic amenities are now available to them. While launching the Ujjwala 2.0, PM Modi said, “The changes brought by the Ujjwala schemes in the lives of people are unprecedent- ed. This scheme was started in 2016 from Ut- tar Pradesh’s Ballia which is the land of Mangal Pandey. Today the second edition of Ujjwala is also starting from ‘Mahoba ki Veerb- hoomi’ in UP.” “We will be celebrat- ing the 75th Independ- ence Day soon. If we look back to the works done in the last 7.5 years, the developmen- tal work done in this period could have been done decades ago. It is said that many people in the country had to wait for the basic neces- sities like home, electricity , water, toilet, gas, road, hospital and school for decades,” PM Modi said adding that in last seven years the govt had worked in a ‘mission mode’ to find solutions for people’s basic problems. —ANI MODI HANDS OVER LPG CONNECTIONS New Delhi: PM Modi on Tues- day launched the Ujjwala 2.0 LPG connections scheme, as part of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana-PMUY, at Mahoba district in Uttar Pradesh via video conferencing.

INDIA JAIPUR | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2021 06 www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia Kartikey Dev Singh New Delhi: Apart from various compli- cations and issues surrounding the Con- gress party, one major resentment among the grand old party’s ‘old faithfuls’ is the issue of high command giving preference to ‘outsiders’ i.e. leaders who have not originally been with Congress, and ignoring old, loyal leaders. After the ap- pointment of Navjot Singh Sidhu as the President of Punjab Congress, there has been an outrage among the leaders. Sidhu had joined the Congress four years ago, just before the Punjab Assembly elections. Before that he was in BJP and used to abuse Con- gress fiercely. He had made major attacks on Sonia and Rahul as well as late Rajiv Gan- dhi. But within four years, he has managed to climb the ranks from being a member of party to a minister to now becoming the state president. Not only Captain Amarinder Singh is angry with this, but MPs like Manish Tewari are also angry and there is resentment in other states as well. Similarly, Congress appointed Revanth Reddy, state president in Telangana. He too left the Telugu Desam Party and joined the Congress four years ago in 2017. Within four years, he reached the chair of the state president. On the other hand, in Maharash- tra too, Nana Patole, who left the BJP three years ago and joined the Congress, has become state president. In these three years, he contested Lok Sab- ha by-election once on a Congress ticket from his traditional B h a n d a r a - G o n d i a seat. Then in 2019 he contested the Nagpur seat against Nitin Gadkari and contested the Assembly elections in 2019, became the Assembly speaker and now he has become state president. It is true that he has been in the Congress earlier, but despite this, there is resentment among the party leaders for being promoted so quickly. The Congress had similarly made Dr Ajay Ku- mar the state president, after he left the Jharkhand Vikas Mor- cha and joined the party nearly two years back. But it is not just Congress that is witnessing an influx of defectors, the Bharati- ya Janata Party is also treading the same line as Congress. Earlier, to go to any higher post in BJP, it was nec- essary that the leader should be associated with Rashtriya Sway- amsevak Sangh. But now this measure has been abolished. Now if a big leader of a party comes to BJP, who fits into BJP in terms of electoral politics or social balance, then he is being given a higher post immedi- ately. In the last three months, three instanc- es of this have been seen. The BJP first made former Con- gressman Himanta Biswa Sarma the chief minister of Assam. He left the Congress and joined the BJP six years back. In West Bengal, Shubhendu Adhikari, who left the Trina- mool Congress and joined the BJP six months ago, was made the leader of the legis- lative party. Now he is the leader of 75 BJP MLAs and as such is also the Leader of the Opposition. After Assam and Bengal, the party made Basavaraj Bom- mai the chief minister of Karnataka after Bommai left the Janta Dal fold and joined the Saffron party. OUTSIDERS: THE NEW FLAVOUR FOR CONG-BJP?

Prin- cipal Secretary, Infor- mation Technology De- partment, Alok Gupta, Principal Secretary, Finance, Akhil Arora and other officers were present in the meeting. ‘Sidhu’s Barbs... and also listed the ones where actions that have been initiated already,” Rawat said. The meeting pre- cedes an anticipated cabinet reshuffle in Punjab and comes in the midst of strong indications that the feud between the Congress’s top two in the state is far from over. Meanwhile, after meeting Sonia, Ama- rinder went to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah, a development that garnered interest of the political class. However, citing social, economic, and security implications of the prolonged farmers’ agitation, the Pun- jab Chief Minister asked Amit Shah for the immediate repeal of the Farm Laws, which had caused great resentment amongst farmers from Punjab and other states. Expressing concern over the fear of “inimi- cal powers from across the border trying to ex- ploit the resentment and disgruntlement against the government”, Amarinder Sin- gh sought an enduring and expeditious solu- tion to the farmers’ concerns. “While these protests have so far been largely peaceful, one can sense rising tem- pers, especially as the State moves towards elections in early 2022,” he warned. The prolonged agitation is not only impact- ing economic activities in Punjab but also has the potential to affect its social fabric, especially when political parties and groups take strong positions, he added. He also asked Shah to increase the security apparatus like drones to BSF in view of increasing extrem- ist activities in the state. FROM PG 1 New Delhi: Lok Sabha on Tuesday witnessed a thaw in the logjam over the Pegasus snooping row as members cutting across party lines voiced support for a constitutional amendment bill to restore the states’ power to make their own OBC lists. During the debate on ‘The Constitution (127th Amendment) Bill, 2021’, several Op- position parties, including the Congress, demanded a removal of the 50 per cent cap on reservations, while the government underlined its commitment to social justice. For the first time since the Monsoon session of Parliament began on July 19, Lok Sabha witnessed a debate in an orderly manner as the Opposition put their protests demanding a debate over the Pegasus snooping allegations on hold for the bill. During the debate, many leaders such as BJP ally JD(U)’s Lalan Singh, Samajwadi Par- ty’s Akhilesh Yadav, BSP’s Ritesh Pandey and DMK’s T R Baalu demanded a caste census be conducted throughout the country . Moving the bill for consideration and pas- sage, Social Justice and Empowerment Minis- ter Virendra Kumar de- scribed ‘The Constitu- tion Bill, 2021’ as a his- toric legislation as 671 castes in the country would benefit from it. —PTI CONG DIDN’T GIVE RESERVATION TO OBCS FOR 40 YRS: GOVT New Delhi: The Congress did not give reservation to the OBCs for almost 40 years and it was finally granted by a government supported by the BJP, Un- ion minister Bhupender Yadav said in Parliament on Tuesday. Speaking in the Lok Sabha on the Constitution (127th Amendment) Bill, he said the Kaka Kalelkar Commission had suggested reservation for the OBCs in the 1950s, but the Congress did not implement it for almost four decades. Not only this, the Congress also did not implement the recommendations of the Mandal Commission for six years, which was eventually done by a government supported by the BJP, Yadav said. It was the Narendra Modi government that gave constitutional status to the National Commission for Backward Classes, which the Congress did not do, he added. —ANI MODI SEEKS NAMES OF MEMBERS ABSENT DURING VOTING IN RS New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi took BJP MPs to task over the absence of some of them in the Rajya Sabha on Monday when the Tribunals Reforms (Rationalisation and Conditions of Service) Bill, 2021 was being passed. He made his remarks during the last parliamentary party meeting of the BJP in this monsoon session of Parliament, and asked Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi to make a list of absent MPs, according to sources. The censure was due to the fact that the Opposition had moved a statutory resolution asking that the Bill be sent to a Select Committee first, while the resolution was defeated and the Bill was passed by voice vote, the thin attendance of the treasury benches, with “at least 20 MPs missing” according to govt sources. —ANI SCs, STs TO BE ENUMERATED IN 2021: GOVT New Delhi: The government has decided as a matter of policy not to enumerate caste-wise population other than SCs and STs in census, the Lok Sabha was informed on July 20.

A civilised society is one in which women have equal say and infuence as men (or even more) ! —Jagdeesh Chandra, CEO Editor-in-Chief, First India JAIPUR | WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2021 www.firstindia.co.in I www.firstindia.co.in/epaper/ I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia 08 2NDFRONT POSTAL REG NO. JPC/010/2019-21 Rajendra Chhabra Jaipur: Finally , after an extended wait, the charge of IT Commis- sioner and CMD of Raj- Comp has been handed over to the ‘natural claimant’-PrincipalSec- retary IT, Alok Gupta. After Virendra Singh left for a ‘long leave’ nearlytwomonthsback, the charge was handed over to an ‘outsider’ and 2011 junior IAS, Ab- himanyu Kumar. In a story on June 19, First India had raised the issue that Alok Gup- ta should be given the additional charge, stressing that it was not right to hand over the charge to an officer, who was ‘imported’ to the department, spe- cially when Gupta was already in a better position and experinced to handle the task. In the bureaucratic circles of the state, the DoP’s action, that kept Alok Gupta away from what would have been his ‘natural claim’, was considered to be as in- justice with Gupta. Meanwhile, Virendra Singh is now preparing to return to his ‘parent cadre’ - Maharashtra and to expedite the process, he has extended his leaves four times in the past two months. The state government has given its NOC too and only a formal order from the Government of India is awaited now. Therefore, correcting its old mistake, the DoP has given the charge to Alok Gupta. It is notable that even though the additional charge lies with Ab- himanyu Kumar, the work in the department is more or less stalled and he is unable to address the files. Now, Alok Gupta has taken the additional chargeof boththewings and he has become the ‘all in one’ of the IT department and it is being hoped that under him the IT department’s stalled work will gain momentum. It is being expected from the 1996 batch official Alok Gup- ta that with his experi- ence and capabilities, he will be able to correct the course of IT department. ‘Natural claimant’ Alok finally gets his due!

Mukesh Mathrani Barmer: After formation of Vasund- hara Raje Samarthak Manch in Rajasthan, similar trend has surfaced in Con- gress, wherein, some people claiming themselves as Ashok Gehlot supporters have formed ‘Ashok Gehlot Fan Club’. Motive behind the formation of Vasundhara Raje Samarthak Manch is that her supporters want her to be the state’s Chief Minis- ter for the third time. But the reason behind formation of ‘Ashok Gehlot Fan Club’ is yet unclear. Those who formed it, said that the pur- pose of this front is to ensure maximum publicity of the scheme run by Ashok Gehlot. Rishi Vyas, state president of ‘Ashok Gehlot Fan Club’ told First India that it is not a new organisation. He claimed that he has been running this front at Bi- kaner level for the past ten years, but recently, he has planned to expand it to Rajasthan. “We just want to ensure maximum publicity of the schemes run by Ashok Gehlot. Be- sides this, our aim is to ensure benefit to the people, who are eligible for it, said Vyas.” Aditi Nagar Jaipur: Taking cog- nisance of remarks of PCC Chief and Education minister Govind Singh Dotas- ra eulogising Veer Savarkar, Congress high command has asked national gen secy in charge of Ra- jasthan Ajay Maken to submit a factual report on it.

Speaking at a func- tion to commemorate August revolution on Monday, Dotasra had justified Savarkar’s demand for Hindu Rashtra as it was done before Inde- pendence. However, the statement has created a major storm in the political circles and a huge confusion inpartyranksaswell. While BJP is touting it as recognition of Savarkar’s sacrifices by Congress party, Congress is in an awkward position now. Congress has al- ways taken an anti- Savarkar stand. They have been refusing to recognise his role in freedom struggle. Do- tasra going against party policies has put Cong in a spot.
