Who is Rishi Sunak, the new UK prime minister? hen Rishi Su- nak was elected by Conserva- tive MPs as their new leader and hence prime minister of the United Kingdom, theBritishnationbreathed a sigh of relief: thank God it wasn’t Boris Johnson. Had Johnson been re-elected leader it would have had serious consequences, not just for the Conserva- tives, but in the real world too. Only the most obtuse political observer could have failed to see that the optics of cutting short your Caribbean holiday to try to resolve a cost of living crisis was not good politics. It sounds hard to believe, but this was not obvious to everyone. Johnson garnered public support from some of the Brexiteer old guard like Jacob Rees-Mogg and in the pro-Boris media. But in characteristic fashion, Johnson exaggerated his chances. This latest act of self-promotion backfired and he withdrew from the leadership race on Sunday (regretably having missed half his holiday). Nevertheless, the fact that many Conserva- tives seriously thought a chaotic government could be brought under control by someone known for chaotic management, shows how deep the ideo- logical divisions within the party have become. With the third contend- er, Penny Mordaunt, falling just shy of the 100 MPs’ votes needed to send the leadership contest to a vote of the grassroots party members – a fate to be avoided at all costs after they forfeited the confidence of MPs by installing Truss – Rishi Sunak will become the next prime minister of the UK. Now such divisions seem to be affecting the right of politics too. As we saw in the 2022 federal election in Australia, the right’s traditional support base is split between affluent moderates concerned about climate change, and older social conservatives concerned about immigration. This appears to be happening in the UK too. This internal division can be exploited by the opposition as we saw with the fracking vote. On paper, Sunak should feel secure with a 71-seat majority in a 650-seat parliament. But the Conservatives have lost confidence. The party is behaving like one that has only the slimmest of majorities and is on its way out. Sunak’s premier- ship may well be a case of the band playing on.

Editor-In-Chief: Dr Jagdeesh Chandra Editor: Anita Hada Sangwan responsible for selection of news under the PRB Act eographically, the Indian Subcontinent consists of the peninsular part of present-dayIndia,southof the Himalayas, on the Indian tectonic plate. From a political perspective, the In- dian subcontinent consists of eight countries: India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Af- ghanistan and the Mal- dives. The people of the Indian Subcontinent have shared ethnic, linguistic, cultural, and historical ties. Even today these na- tions bear some marks of their origins. Both the terms - ‘South Asia’ and ‘Indian subcontinent’ are used in an interchangeable manner. The peace in the region is marred by unre- solved territorial disputes like Kashmir, separatist and insurgent movements linked to global outfits, a broad range of ethnic, religious conflicts, the prolif- eration of nuclear technology ,climatechangeandthe ensuing water issues. In- dia is generally viewed as an ‘Interfering Big Broth- er’ by her neighbour. As the largest country, India needs to promote regional peace and stability in order to have a strong claim to be a major world player. India’s ability to intervene in countries is limited by resentment at In- dia’s paternalism towards its smaller neighbours. An assertive surge in Chinese economic and diplomatic involvement in the region has elevated long-lingering tensions with India and poses a challenge as the regional economic and diplomatic heavyweight. The South Asian Associa- tion for Regional Coopera- tion (SAARC) is an economic and political regional organisation of countries in South Asia set up in 1985. It aims to accelerate the process of economic and social development in its member states through increased intra- regional cooperation but so far has characterized by weak institutionalism and is often constrained in their effectiveness. India’s Relations With Its Neighbours The relationship with Paki- stanhasbeencharacterised by a virtually unbroken re- cord of sustained hostility . The continued Pak support toterrorismanditsstandon Kashmir remains a major irritant between India and Pakistan.Despitechangeof government, the anti India standstillflourishesinPak. Indo-Bangladesh relations had become strained over the Farakka issue, the Tin Bigha controversy and illegal Bangladeshi mi- grants and their alleged involvement in communal riots in India. The agreement on sharing of Ganga waters and the pro Indian stance of Sheikh Hasina regimehasdefinitelymade some positive impact. Despite increasing Chi- nese influence the Indo Nepalese relationship are likely to see a qualitative improvement owing closer economic ties and better political understanding. The renewed Mahakali Treaty and grant of over- land transit route for its trade with Bangladesh by India underlines the positive shift, but border dis- pute of Kalapani still remains a major issue. The renewal of $400-mil- lion currency swap facility and helping hand extended to Sri Lanka facing severe economiccrisishasbecome apositivemilestoneinIndo Sri Lankan relations. The main irritant in Indo-Sri Lankan relationship that stillremainsisissueof killings of Indian fishermen by Sri Lankan forces. The volatile situation in Afghanistan is of major concern to India. The fun- damentalist regime in Af- ghanistan is an insidious threattoIndiansecularism andapotentiallydestabilis- ing factor in the region. Defence matters of Bhu- tan have remained Indian responsibility but owing to Indian weak stance during Doklam skirmishes with China, the Bhutan King has established a fairly good relationship with China. India is trying to regain the lost ground. Despite Chinese over- tures, the Maldives has remained fairly under In- dian influence. During re- cent elections a political party sought votes with the slogan “Keep India” out definitely needs to be watched out. Indian Options Create effective and endur- ingincentivesforourneigh- bourstoremainsensitiveto India’s security interests and emerging as a security provider for the region. Lesser Intervention, due respect of the sovereignty and use more powerful In- dian economy to become an engine of growth of neighbours. No physical presence of a hostile foreign power in a manner that would ad- versely impact its security especially in a case of open borders. It is in India’s interest to promote regional economic integration, and need to step up role of SAARC in regional co-operation, dia- logue and regional economic integration. Enhance effectiveness of Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Techni- cal and Economic Cooper- ation (BIMSTEC) comprising Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. India’s needs to further its positive role in the new- lyformedTheIndianOcean Rim Association (IORA) which is a dynamic inter- governmentalorganisation aimed at strengthening re- gionalcooperationandsus- tainable development within the Indian Ocean region. To bring into use its proximity with the other countries, India requires efficient cross-border connectivity both in terms of infrastructure and proce- dures to allow the smooth and seamless transit of goods and peoples. The economic and tech- nological power of India is a vast and expanding market. Even if this market were opened up fully to whatever our neighbours can produce and sell, this would constitute only a small fraction of India’s market but would mean a great deal for them. Given its much more developed land and maritime transport system, India should develop its role as the partner of choice for trade and transportation. This will also create strong inter-dependencies with our neighbours, thus cre- ating more sensitivity among them to our security concerns.

INDIA JAIPUR | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2022 05 www.firstindia.co.in I https://firstindia.co.in/epapers/jaipur I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia Faridabad (ANI): Launching a scathing attack on Congress leader Bhupinder Sin- gh Hooda, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday said the former Haryana CM used to run a “3D” govt with the nexus of “darbaris, damad and dealers”. Addressing the BJP’s Jan Utthan rally, Shah said, “I congratulate Manohar Lal Khattar for completing 8 glori- ous years of govern- ance. When he became the CM, I was the BJP chief. When he came to meet me after the polls, I asked him who should be the chief minister. He told me 15 names ex- cept his own. Such a man is governing and developing Haryana for the last 8 years. In 8 years, Manohar Lal ji has done the work of changing Haryana.” Shah remembered late BJP leader and former Haryana deputy CM Mangal Sein on his birth anniversary . Attacking previous Haryana governments, Shah said, “Recall the Haryana that existed 8 years ago. When one govt used to come, there used to be corruption and when the other government came, hooliganism increased. Khattar-led BJP govt neither allowed corruption nor hooliganism.” Bhopal (PTI): Seven people fell sick after chlorine gas leaked from a cylinder at a water filtration plant in Bhopal, bringing back grim memories of the 1984 gas tragedy in the Madhya Pradesh capital. A 900 kg chlorine cylinder leaked on Wednesday at the water treatment plant of the Bhopal Municipal Cor- poration at the Idgah Hills,Shahjanabad’sAs- sistant Commissioner of Police Umesh Mishra said on Thursday . Seven people living in slums near the plant complained of some health issues. They were shifted to hospital. Locals said after the gas leak, some people complained of breathing difficulties, coughing and vomiting. The snag has been fixed, he said. Thousands of people were killed and more than five lakh affected after inhaling a toxic gas that spewed out from the now defunct Union Carbide factory in Bhopal on the inter- vening night of Decem- ber 2 and 3, 1984. IN THE COURTYARD New Delhi: The NGT has refused to entertain a plea seeking a direction to monitor and test efficiency of a device to control air pollution. A bench headed by Justice AK Goel said the Tri- bunal’s role is to adjudicate on substantial questions of environment and not to test devices of commercial en- terprises. According to the applicant, he is an expert on the subject of control of air pollution and has invented a device to control air pollution. He has accord- ingly sought a direction to monitor and test efficiency of devices of the applicant. Mumbai: If a married woman is asked to do household work for family, it cannot be equated to the work of a maid and would not amount to cruelty, the Aurangabad bench of Bombay High Court said while quashing a case lodged by a woman against her husband and his parents for domestic violence and cruelty. A division bench on October 21, quashed the First Information Report lodged against the man and his parents. The woman had alleged she was was treated properly for a month after marriage, but thereafter, they began treating her like a maid servant. New Delhi: Former BJP MP Subramanian Swamy moved a plea before the Delhi High Court claiming that the Central Govt had failed to provide adequate security at his private residence as assured before the court. The application has been listed for hearing on Monday. In Septem- ber the Delhi high court had asked Swamy to vacate the government accommodation. The matter was mentioned by the senior advocate Jayant Mehta before the bench headed by chief justice Satish Chandra Sharma. New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Thursday refused to pass an interim order extending tenure of last presiding officer of Delhi School Tribunal and granted time to the govt to state its stand on a plea seeking expeditious appointment to the currently vacant post. Delhi govt counsel Santosh Kumar Tripathi told the court that the rules for appointment have been changed and are pending approval before the Lt Governor and a “temporary arrangement” has been put in place until a regular selection is done.

Chandigarh (PTI): A day after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejri- wal sought printing im- ages of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi on currency, Congress MP Manish Tewari on Thursday asked why not Bhimrao Ambed- kar's photo on a new series of notes. The AAP national convener’s demand drew sharp reactions from the Congress with its Punjab unit chief Amrinder Singh Raja accusing Kejriwal of resorting to “competi- tive Hindutva” to out- wit the BJP in poll- bound Gujarat. Reacting to Kejri- wal’s statement, Tewari, a Congress MP from Punjab’s Anand- pur Sahib, tweeted, “Why not Dr Babasahib Ambedkar’s photo- graph on new series of currency notes? On one side the great Mahatma (Gandhi) the other side Dr (B R) Ambedkar.” WhynotAmbedkar’spiconnotes:Tewari Manish Tewari “USE PM’S PIC” New Delhi: The Su- preme Court has criti- cised the practice of High Courts to grant anticipatory bail to accused in criminal cases on the ground that no custodial interrogation isrequired.Abenchsaid there is a misconception that if no case for custodial interrogation is madeoutbyprosecution then that alone would be a good ground to grant anticipatory bail. “In many anticipatory bail matters, we have noticed one common argument being can- vassed that no custodial interrogation is required and, therefore, anticipatory bail may be granted. There appears to be a serious misconception of law,” the bench said. SC:‘Custodial interrogation not needed’ not a ground for bail Surajkund (ANI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday announced to open branches of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in all states by 2024 as part of the Centre’s plan to build an anti-terrorism network. The Home Minister made the announce- ment while speaking at the two-day ‘Chintan Shivir’ of Home Ministers’ of all states here to prepare an action plan for the implementation of the Centre’s ‘vision 2047’. “Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a zero-tolerance policy against terrorism and NIA and other agencies are being strengthened to achieve a decisive victory,” Shah said. Faridabad (PTI): Union HM Amit Shah on Thursday laid the foundation stone of Haryana Orbital Rail Corri- dor and inaugurated three other projects here worth a combined Rs 6,629 crore. He inaugurated the projects virtually from an event at the Parade Ground. He laid the foundation stone of Rs 5,618-crore Haryana Or- bital Rail Corridor project. He inaugurated a rail coach refurbishment factory worth Rs 590 crore in Sonipat’s Barhi and India’s first longest elevated railway track in Rohtak, built at a cost of Rs 315.40 crore. Surajkund (PTI): Most of the non-BJP CMs holding the charge of their Home Departments on Thursday skipped the ‘Chintan Shivir’ of home ministers of all states organised by the Centre here. Non-BJP chief ministers holding the home portfolios are Mamata Banerjee (West Bengal), Nitish Kumar (Bihar), Naveen Patnaik (Odisha) and MK Stalin (Tamil Nadu). Only two non-BJP CMs — Punjab’s Bhagwant Mann and Kerala’s Pinarayi Vijayan — attended the conference being chaired by Union HM Amit Shah. The rest of the non- BJP states were either represented by a cabinet minister or a minister of state holding charge of the home department. Hyderabad (ANI): Re- jecting the charge that his party was trying to poach Telangana Rash- tra Samithi (TRS) MLAs, Telangana BJP chief Bandi Sanjay on Wednesday said that Chief Minister K Chan- drashekar Rao has scripted the raids at a farmhouse and demanded a probe by a sit- ting judge. The BJP chief said that if KCR is not responsible for this then he should come to Ya- dadri Lakshmi Nar- asimha Swamy temple and swear on God. “Sto- ry-Screenplay-Direc- tion by CM KCR at Moinabad Farmhouse Boomeranged and is laughable. It’s TRS’ farmhouse, TRS complained, TRS are victims, TRS are crimi- nals. KCR if you haven’t scripted this, come to Yadadri Lakshmi Nar- asimha Swamy temple and swear on God - You fix time and date,” said Sanjay . The BJP leader alleged that the TRS leaders are staying at a ho- tel for the last three- four days. BJP demands probe in TRS’ poaching bid charges BJP leader Bandi Sanjay Hyderabad: The ruling TRS in Telangana and the Asaduddin Owaisi- led AIMIM practice the same politics as that of the BJP, AICC General Secretary, in-charge of communications, Jairam Ramesh alleged on Thursday. Ramesh, who spoke to reporters during a break in the Bharat Jodo Yatra led by party leader Rahul Gan- dhi, said the main focus of Yatra is the “divisive politics” of BJP and the RSS, but in Telangana the challenge is also to face the ruling TRS. TRS, MIM USING BJP’S STYLE OF POLITICS, SAYS JAIRAM RAMESH Hyderabad: Telan- gana BJP on Thursday approached the High Court seeking transfer of a case pertaining to the TRS MLAs’ poaching allegations against the party, to the CBI or to constitute a special investigation team to carry out a fair probe into the matter. In a writ petition filed by BJP State Genl Secy Gujjula Premendar Reddy, he claimed the “bias and unfair investigation” being carried out is with a “sole intention to frame the leaders” of his party. BJP URGES HC TO TRANSFER TRS MLAS’ POACHING CASE TO CBI Hyderabad (Agencies): The Telangana BJP has released a manifesto for the Munugode bypoll to be held on November 3, promising to develop the constituency in 500 days with the help of over Rs 1,000 crore in central government funds. Neither the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), nor Congress or other contesting parties, including Independents, have released any manifestos for the by-poll. The eight-page, 28-point “master plan” promises all- round development of Munugode, with funds and direct oversight of at least 10 Central ministries. As per the manifesto, the National Highways Authority of India will invest over Rs 200 crore to develop three stretches of highways that connect to Munugode. Un- der the Union Ministry of Textiles, a textile park would be developed with Rs 100 crore. The manifesto states that a central fluoride research centre attached with a 100-bed hospital will be established at Munugode, at a cost of Rs 100 crores. It will be managed by the National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad.

Addressing the students at Krishna Ma- havidyalaya at Thakurdwar in Mo- radabad, Uttar Pradesh, Dr Jitendra Singh said, NEP-2020 also supple- ments Start-Up ecosys- tem with the promise to open new career and entrepreneurship opportunities for students and youth in India. Dr Singh said, NEP- 2020 introduced by PM Modi will reorient In- dia’s Education Policy as per global bench- marks. Describing it as the biggest path-break- ing reform in India since independence, the Minister said, the new policy is not only pro- gressive and visionary but is also in keeping with the emerging needs and requirements of 21st century India. He said, it gives due pri- orities to the inherent talent, knowledge, skill and aptitude of the students, rather than focus- ing only on degrees. He said that linking degrees with education has taken a heavy toll on our education system and society as well and one of the fall-outs has been an increasing number of educated unemployed. He said, NEP- 2020 is having the provision of multiple entry/ exit option thus providing academic flexibility to the students. Referring to Skill In- dia Mission, he urged students to imbibe multiple skills to be success- ful in life as there are ample number of exam- ples to show that those equipped with the latest skills are doing wonders in the world today . He urged students to explore livelihood opportunities in the Start- up sector. He said that only in August this year, the Uttar Pradesh government injected Rs 4,000 crore into the state’s start-up corpus for employment genera- tion and economic ac- tivity. The fresh infu- sion of capital has been made to constitute the maiden ‘UP Innovation Fund’ that will be man- dated to provide seed capital to start-ups.

Sharat K Verma New Delhi: After Mal- likarjun Kharge became the Congress President, there may or may not be any new faction in the national politics of the party, but it is certain that a new faction will be formed in Karnataka, which will be called Kharge faction. It can also be called a high command group. At present there are two factions in Kar- nataka i.e. Siddaramai- ah and DK Shivakumar. Siddaramaiah has been the chief minister of the state but he is not a traditional Congress leader. He left the JDS and joined the Con- gress and Rahul Gan- dhi made him the Chief Minister. Shivakumar, on the other hand, is the state president, troubleshooter of the Congress and a resource-rich leader. Right now the entire party is divided between these two leaders. However, apart from these, there are many other big leaders like Margaret Alva and Veerappa Moily . Kharge is from Kar- nataka and has now become the national president of the party. In such a situation, the leaders who are not in any group have got a shelter. Keep in mind that Kharge being the grassroots leader of Karnataka, every small and big leader has direct contact with him. Therefore, the leaders of the party can contact him in Delhi and speak their mind. This faction will also be formed because elections are going to be held in Kar- nataka next year and both the big leaders - Siddaramaiah and Shi- vakumar - are busy preparing their list of can- didates. Any leader who is not in the list of these two will remain in Kharge or high command faction. So, Kar- nataka politics is going to be interesting in the next few days. This discussion has also started among many knowl- edgeable Congress leaders that Kharge fell short of becoming CM thrice, and it could be that after becoming the national president, he may yet again become CM. Thus if Congress wins, Kharge may be the consensus candidate instead of Siddara- maiah and Shivakumar. Cong Prez Mallikarjun Kharge CONG DEMANDS WHITE PAPER ON ‘PLIGHT OF KASHMIRI PANDITS’ New Delhi (PTI): The Con- gress attacked the BJP over the alleged exodus of Kash- miri Pandits from south Kashmir’s Shopian district and demanded that the Modi government release a white paper on the plight of the minority community during its eight-year rule. The opposition party also hit out at the BJP-led Centre over the targeted killings of Kashmiri Pandits in Jammu and Kashmir and said the government must apolo- gise for it. As terrorists carried out a number of targeted killings recently, 10 Kash- miri Pandit families left their village, Choud- harygund, in Shopian out of fear and reached Jammu, according to residents. CRUCIAL READ ASSAM POLICE CONFISCATES GANJA WORTH `15 CRORE, TWO ARRESTED Guwahati (ANI): Assam police on Thursday foiled inter- state smuggling by intercepting a truck carrying more than two thousand kilos of contraband drugs (Ganja) near the Jorabat area, along the Assam-Meghalaya border. “Two persons have been arrested,” officials said.

Shimla (Agencies): Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur paid a surprise visit to Karsog constituency in his home district Mandi. While such visits may be common in the run-up to polls, the purpose of Thakur’s visit was different.

In December, Gan- dhi’s yatra will pass through Jhalawar, Kota, Baran,SawaiMadhopur, Dausa and Alwar districts of Rajasthan, which are among the 13 districts covered under the ERCP . ERCP is a major issue in these districts. CM Ashok Gehlot has written letters to the PM demanding to declare ERCP a National Pro- ject as promised by him during election rallies in the State. ERCP , conceptualised by the former BJP government, is an ambi- tious project which will provide irrigation and drinking water in 13 districts. The project aims at harvesting surplus water available during the rainy season in the Chambal and its tribu- taries Kunnu, Parvati and Kalisindh, and use it in 13 districts where there is a scarcity of water for drinking and irrigation purposes. Jhalawar, Baran, Kota, Bundi, Sawai Madhopur, Ajmer, Tonk, Jaipur, Karauli, Alwar, Bharatpur, Dausa and Dholpur are the districts that will benefit from the project.

According to the proposal, free hold lease would be provided for residential plots up to 120 square meters at the premium rate of Rs.5 per square meter and four times the premium rate on depositing one- time lease amount for ten years and on depositing building approval fee of Rs.500. These include such colonies whose layout plans have been approved or the layout plans/ survey plans are to be approved by taking action under suo-moto survey and section 90-A. It is noteworthy that before their formation in various municipali- ties or before the implementation of the master plan, various colonies have been settled on agricultural land. In these colonies there are plots of economically weaker income group, low income group and middle income group. With the approval of the Chief Minister, people living in these colonies will be able to get lease easily at conces- sional rates and their dream of getting legal ownership of their plots will be realised.

With the above approval, the waste emitted by various industries will be properly treated and will help in environmental protection. It is noteworthy that a provision has been made by State Govt to provide 20% subsidy on the cost of plant machinery to industrial units for setting up of ETP. The above scheme has been brought to encourage more and more industries to set up ETPs. The installation of ETP helps in the disposal of harmful industrial waste, it also avoids adverse effects on health of general public due to industrial waste.

The State leadership of BJP may replace 14 District Presidents and Presidents of several fronts and cells. The party sources said that many of the District Presidents, who are preparing to contest the elections themselves have offered to leave the post. The issue has been discussed with the Party High Command and the State leadership. By the Assembly elections-2023 and Lok Sab- ha elections-2024, BJP wants to prepare such a team in the State, which can remain ac- tive and fulfill the responsibility of the party organisation only . According to sources, a list of such leaders and workers is being prepared, who do not wish to contest the Assembly or Lok Sab- ha elections, have a strong hold and recog- nition among the workers and can spare full time for the party during the elections for the next two years. Prelim- inary work has also been done on this. The BJP State Presi- dent Dr Satish Poonia will soon make changes in the organisation after talking to the State in-charge Arun Singh.

It is also necessary to ensure quality treatment and providing better health facilities and full benefits of all government schemes to public in these medical colleges. For this purpose, CM Gehlot held a meeting with the principals of func- tional and newly constructed medical colleges of State for the first time. This meeting was also kept open to the public through social media. During this, the medical facilities of the State were re- viewed as well as dis- cussions were held with the principals of medical colleges to further improve the implementation of health related schemes. “We brought the Right to Health Bill, but some private people protested, after which this bill was stopped in the As- sembly. These private hospitals and medical colleges earn a lot of money. These people have looted, but it cannot be discounted. Rs 1cr or 2 cr in PG, do not know how much money is spent,” he said. On the condition of govt hospitals, CM said that the government comes with major schemes for free medicine, yet it does not feel good if it comes to light that medicines are to be brought from outside the State. “Perhaps I suffered from post covid problems so I know the reality of hospitals. When I tour districts, I take feedback from patients. There are complaints of dirty beds in hospital.” CM praised cleanliness in hospitals in MLA OP Hoodla’s area. “Get the work done by surveying hospitals in a month. Don’t have to wait for hospital offer. Get main- tenance work done on priority,” Gehlot instructed Naveen Mahajan of PWD. Health Minister Parsadi Meena expressed concern about the dilapidated condition of a hospital in Kota. 14 BJP DIST PRESIDENTS WHO HAVE OFFERED TO SUBMIT RESIGNATIONS Those who have offered to resign are Jaipur city president Raghav Sharma, Alwar north president Balwan Yadav, Alwar south president Sanjay Naruka, Bikaner district president Tarachand Saraswat, Chru district president Dharmveer Pujari, Tonk district president Rajendra Parana, Sikar district president Indra Chaudhary, Jhunjhunu district president Pawan Kumar, Bharatpur district president Shailesh Singh, Karauli district president- Brijlal Dikolia, Bhilwara district president Ladulal Teli, Ajmer south rural district president Devishankar Bhutda, Jodhpur city president president Devendra Joshi and Barmer district president Aduram Meghwal.

9.  But other than estab- lishing a synergy with the Young Gandhis, what other challenges do you see would befall Mallikarjun Kharge? Dr Jagdeesh Chandra: Challenges abound but in Indian politics, the biggest challenge before him is how to take on or counter the be- hemothNarendraModiand Amit Shah. Then there is the challenge of winning elections since before 2024, 11 states will witness elections.Firstlyelectionwould be held in Kharge’s home state Karnataka, then in 2023 the three states of Ra- jasthan, MP and Chat- tishgarh would elect governments, im- mediatelyHimachal and Gujarat will un- dergo election in this year. All these are political challenges, which honestly no one expects Kharge to do miracles in. Thesearethechallengesbut he is not concerned or con- nected with it. If Congress doesnotdowellinHimachal and Gujarat election, then perhaps no one would say that this loss is on Kharge’s leadership. Secondly , the challenge within the party is that now workers have started feeling a divide in the party between North andSouth.Workersfeelthat everything has been given to leaders of the south. Now look at their handling of events. Bhai Dooj was on 26th and that very day everyone was called for cover- age as the new President would formally take over. Who all would come to witness this event and moreover, will people at homes across the North India get time to see this unfold? Had itbeenPongalorotherfesti- val, this formal take over would not have happened. So basically , from day one, a trust deficit has occurred in their leadership that everything has been given to South and North has been differentiated against. So this is another challenge to counter. Moreover, he will also have to sort the gap between the old guards and the young brigade of Con- gress. Although the gap has lessened and issues have been sorted, but still some areas on concern remain. The formation of commit- teesandboardsinpartyhas tobedone,butheappearsto be relaxed and I don’t think he is worried to much.  It is said that Rahul Gandhi wanted the election process to be devoid of any intervention and held in a free and fair manner. But word is that Priyanka Gandhi called up various leaders and asked for votes in Kharge’s favour. How true is that? It sometimes seem that Pri- yanka Gandhi is the ‘real boss’ whether it is anything to do worth Rajasthan or any other state. She han- dles issues, has a different thoughtprocessandmoreo- ver, she is practical while Rahul is more of a rule book leader. It is my firm belief that Rahul Gandhi must have surely thought that the election should be free, fair and independent, but among the loyalists only . He may or may not want Shashi Tharoor to come to helm, nothing can besaidforcertainaboutRa- hul Gandhi. So, he wanted free elections, but that is not what happened. If you try to find out, you will learn that Priyanka definitely called up leaders and calls were made to leaders from state PCC to vote in Kharge’s favour, which basically beats the sentiment of free and fair elections. As such a gap between the votes amassed by Kharge and Tharoor is so great that this sentence has noimportance. Shashi Tha- roor was hard- ly a candidate to challenge Kharge, but the situation could have been different or tough had Digvijaya Singh been at helm. So by and large, it was fair but there were exceptions has people tried to influence the out- come at the level of Priyan- ka Gandhi.  Rahul is a MP from Kerala’s Wayanad, KC Venugopal, the Organi- sational General Secre- tary, too is from Kerala and now the new Presi- dent is from South Indi- an state of Karnataka. Is it a well thought out strategy to give impetus and focus on South India or it is a coincidence? No, this is merely a coincidence and not part of any strategy . Rahul Gandhi thought he would surely win from Kerala so he went there. KC has been a long time standard bearer for him. Ashok Gehlot denied becoming present and if he hadbecomethePartyChief, then the President would have been from North. It was because of his denial that situation developed and Kharge’s name came in front and incidentally he is from South. So, this is merely a coincidence. Al- though this coincidence is hurting Congress, however, that is a separate issue. Ba- sically , Congress is a North Indian political party, but over time, it has gained more prominence in South- ern states.  Rahul has started from Kerala and is still in Karnataka although so much time has passed. Amid this, Kharge be- comes the Party Chief. Do you think, this is a part of Congress think tank’s strategy? Well, the party is working on promoting the South In- dian states and to strength- enitsbasethere.Theythink thatthiswouldbebeneficial for them since there are 52 eats in more than half are from South India. So, this is their strategy that they would first gain some mo- mentum and popularity in southandthenenterNorth- ern states. So, this is a fact that the party would focus more on South and later en- ter North and as such they have less hopes from North primarily because of Nar- endraModiandAmitShah.  It seems that BJP has taken a vow of silence on Kharge’s elevation as Party President. What does this entail? It could be part of their strategy . Normally, they do not do this, but it could be a strategic move. But one thing is there. PM Modi showed large- heartedness. He called up Kharge and congratulated him. So, he behaved as a ‘Statesman’ and he is being praised eve- rywhere for it, in Congress too. It is a fact that BJP did not engage in a large scale attack on this development, rather PM called up and spoke to Kharge con- veying his best wishes.  Kharge was asked about his take on Shashi Tharoor contesting against him and he said that the party and nation would be strengthened through this election. Is it really so? Kharge is a decent and simplified individual. He knows its the same party, same family . So, its alright that he has given this statement for media’s consump- tion and for this, he should be commended.  What are the similar- ities and differences between Kharge and Tharoor’s personal- ities? See, the similarity is that both are well e x p e r i e n c e d . Kharge is 80 yearsold,Tha- roor is 62. Both have been Cen- tral Ministers, both have had good connect with general public. Kharge was in politics, while Tharoor was in the Foreign Services and UN for almost three dec- ades. Speaking of differences, Kharge is a Gandhi- an leader, while Tharoor is the new age leader. Tha- roor’s look is inspired with today’s fashion, while Kharge’s is of the age gone by . Kharge is a little senior to him but basically there is no comparison between the two, but broadly speaking both are senior, been former ministers and are well experienced. But the only difference is that Tharoor is a ‘man of change’ and Kharge would maintain ‘statue-quo.’  Tharoor garnered nearly a thousand votes. Is it a picture of the internal democracy of the party or a de- cline in Gandhi family’s popularity within party, considering that Kharge was the informal choice of Gandhi family? On face value, it may be termed as internal party politics, but in reality, this is a warning bell. Without any support or anything, he was voted for, by 1,072 voters, which is more than the combined vote share of the previous two leaders. So this is a new start. Moreover, there was heightened monitoring and vigilance by Priyanka Gandhi to ensure that no voter goes to the other side. And those who sided with Tharoor, on them an enquiry was called and they literally had to give an apology . Even under an in- direct control, against the theory of free and fair polls, 1,072 individuals went to the other camp. So this is a beginning. People thought nothing is going to happen as such even Shashi Tharoor hasn’t been punished for his past acts and is still working in the party . So, this is a start to end the Gandhis’ hold over Congress. Tharoor’s agenda was different and he said that he is a representative of change. So when there is a vision doc- ument for change, it is al- ways against the establishment. So, this is the start of raising voice against the establishment in Congress. Like in movies, one man stands against the mafia and either the people back that man or the mafia re- moves the person. Simi- larly, Tharoor garnering 1,072 votes against Gan- dhi family’s nominee is a major development in itself. I read in some newspaper where the writer sus- pected that it might come to this that the entire 8,000 votes roll to the other side. So, it is a word of caution for Gandhis. And if there is internal democracy in the party, the Sonia, Rahul and everyone deserves a vote of thanks.  But there surely is a dissatisfied camp of G-23. Was Tharoor a candidate of that camp? But an even more important question is who backed him? He follows his own mind. I am sure he wasn’t a candidate of G-23. I know that when Gehlot denied, everyone in G-23 thought that Tharoor is contesting and hasn’t consulted anyone. So, they too wanted that Ge- hlot should contest and thus, they kept aside their differences also and sup- ported Gehlot initially. Moreover, Hooda, Manish Tewari and others said that theycannotcontestagainst Gehlot due to their personal relations with him, so no candidate was left. So, his contesting the election was incidental and he was not a candidate of G-23.  Why didn’t Kamal Nath or DK Shivaku- mar contest the Presi- dential election? The same reason applies here too. Since Ashok Ge- hlot was contesting, so these and other leaders did not think of standing for the election, but when Ge- hlot declined at the elev- enth hour, then the groups started taking action. It is said for Kamal Nath that he was given this offer once in the not so distant past, and perhaps the high command did not wanted to disturb Rajasthan at that time. Nath also, infor- mally told the high command, as to how will he handle three bosses. More- over he also reportedly said that he feels at home in Bhopal. The point is no one was ready to let go of the chair of the Chief Min- ister and in Rajasthan, the situation became such that Gehlot himself backed out. Had the Rajasthan crisis not occurred, it would have been Gehlot as Con- gress President. Similarly, Shivakumar is happy and content in Karnataka. So, all leaders are happy and satisfied in their concerned state capital and no one wants to come to Cen- tre. Now you can imagine that the Congress’ honour is at stake since none of your own leader wants to come to the centre, leaving the state. Dr Jagdeesh Chandra, CEO and Editor-in-Chief, Bharat24-Vision of New India and First India; CMD, First India News takes a decisive look at Congress’ ‘self proclaimed free and fair’ presidential elections, how Tharoor’s challenge highlights the underlying problem of faith in Gandhi leadership among Congmen, how Kharge has a mountain of challenges before him apart from managing the ‘Young Gandhis’, and if he will be able to revive Congress in southern states from where the party has maximum seats at present.
