Politicial Editor

Ashok Gehlot
thwarts the Oppn’s
claim of his recently
tabled budget being
a ‘Kagzi budget’
I’ll serve Rajasthan till my last breath: Gehlot
 Budgets are of vari-
ous types. At times it
is said the budget is
political, at times it
is said its based on
election, at times it is
said to be budget for
poor or farmer or in
fact at times it is said
to be communal
budget also. Which
category does your
budget fall in because
Opposition is terming
it a ‘Kagzi-budget’.
See, the Opposition had
been asking last time
also as to where will the
money come from? So
jokinglyIsaidthatitwill
comebymagic.Iamreit-
erating again, statistics
speak for themselves re-
garding that budget and
how it got implemented,
is the most surprising
aspect. All the MLAs
would tell you that not
merely announcements
weremade,butworkhas
also been done. Even af-
ter the budget was com-
pletely implemented,
they asked where will
the money come from
and are doing the same
nowtoo.Simultaneously
,
we have started sanc-
tioning of the projects
and announcements. As
soon as the budget gets
passed, the project or
scheme will come to
ground.
 Chiranjeevi scheme
has been a master-
stroke. But is it differ-
ent from Nirogi Ra-
jasthan or are they
the same schemes?
The people who get ad-
mitted to hospitals, who
are serious and have to
undergo operation. For
that we had set a limit of
`10 lakh for treatment,
has now been increased
to `25 lakh. Whether it is
kidney, heart or bone
marrowtransplant,they
used to be under differ-
ent heads. But we said
no, people should have
confidence.Now,thereis
discussion in the homes
of poor people that if
they have to undergo op-
eration, the State gov-
ernment will bear the
expenses.Thishasgiven

TOP TWEETS
MEME FEST
GREETS COW
HUG DAY IDEA,
THE AWBI
WITHDRAWS IT
hile all Hindus ac-
knowledge the reli-
gious importance of
a cow, to hug the ani-
mal as a celebration
of love on Valentine’s Day was
laughable. And that is what it led
to --- a flurry of memes ridicul-
ing the Cow Hug Day idea. The
online backlash and the meme
fest which followed pushed the
Animal Welfare Board of India
on the back foot. The board did
not realise that for all its docility
the humble cow can at times
hate any public display of affec-
tion. At times it can also turn
aggressive without any attempt
at flirtation. After becoming a
butt of jokes, the board with-
drew its appeal following direc-
tions from the government.
Congress general-secretary
Jairam Ramesh pertinently
asked, “Who moo-ted the idea in
the first place.” The idea was
backed by Union minister Par-
shottam Rupala who said that it
will be good if people respond
positively to the call given by the
board to celebrate February 14
as Cow Hug Day
.

ritain’s counter-
terror policy re-
view is of special
interest to India.
In a recent inde-
pendent review of Britain’s
counter-terrorism pro-
gramme “Prevent”, it was rec-
ommended that the country
should refocus on the threat
posed by Islamist militants,
including “non-violent Islam-
istextremism”.Itmadeaclear
distinctionbetweenIslamand
Islamism, which is also called
Islamic fundamentalism. The
review recommended, “Chal-
lenging extremist ideology
should not be limited to pro-
scribed organisations but
should also cover domestic
extremist organisations oper-
ating below the terrorism
threshold who can create an
environment conducive to ter-
rorism.”Thiswasstatedinthe
context of the UK. Britain’s
Indian-originHomeSecretary
Suella Braverman is reported
to have said that Prevent will
now focus on “the key threat
of Islamist terrorism.”

of violence in Kashmir” and
warned that “Prevent should
also be mindful of pro-Khal-
istan elements emerging
from UK’s Sikh communi-
ties”. Both the recommenda-

all the recommendations.

7.8-MAGNITUDE QUAKE
THAT HIT TURKEY, SYRIA
SHATTERED RELIEF
THE FIRST TIME I MET
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF...
The first time I met General Per-
vez Musharraf, when he came to
Delhi as President of Pakistan. He
was staying at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh
and I called on him. When Sonia
introduced me to him, his reply
surprised me, “I know Mr Natwar
Singh. I attended a lecture he gave
at the Pakistan Defence College in
Islamabad.” His family belonged
to Delhi. They left for Karachi in
August 1947. Pervez Musharraf
was four year old. After finishing
his education, he joined the army,
rising rapidly and rose to become
Army Chief. I re-read his autobiog-
raphy after his death in Dubai, early
last week. He was a better Head of
State than an author. The chapter
on Kargil is more fiction than fact.
The photograph below was taken at
his residence in Rawalpindi. Apart
from the President and me, the oth-
ers are Pakistan Foreign Minister,
Kasuri, Foreign Secretary Shyam
Saran and Shivshankar Menon, our
High Commissioner in Pakistan.
He was every inch an army man.
Even his critics would concede that
Pervez Mussarraf had a presence.
arthquakes are sudden, vio-
lent, shaking of the ground
as a result of movements
within the earth’s crust. The
recent, 7.8 degrees earth-
quake in Turkey and Syria
have been devastating. The
death toll could touch 30,000
dead. Double the number in-
jured. In Syria, politics has
intervened to hamper rescue
work. Snow, rain and freez-
ing weather minus 6 centi-
grade at night. India is not
free from earthquakes nor
Pakistan. Before independ-
ence, earthquakes in Quetta
and Bihar were highly de-
structive. Only primitive in-
struments existed then.
On February 16, 1934,
Tagore issued a protest
against Gandhiji remarks of
“divine chastisement” of Bi-
har which appeared in “Har-
jan” of 16 February 1934. “It
has caused me painful sur-
prise to find Mahatma Gan-
dhi accusing those who
blindly follow their own so-
cial custom of untouchabili-
ty of having brought down
God’s vengeance upon cer-
tain parts of Bihar, evidently
specially selected for his des-
olating displeasure. It is all
the more unfortunate view of
things is too readily accepted
by a large section of our
countrymen. I keenly feel the
iniquity of it when I am com-
pelled to utter a truism in as-
serting that physical catas-
trophes have their inevitable
and exclusive origin in cer-
tain combination of physical
facts. Unless we believe in the
inexorableness of the univer-
sal law in the working of
which God himself never in-
terferes, we find it impossible
to justify his ways on occa-
sions like the one which has
surely stricken us in on over-
whelming manner and
scale……” The Poet was no
match for the Mahatma. Gan-
dhiji response was devastat-
ing. I did not in any way ad-
versely affect the affection
and respect each held for the
other. They were born in
same decade 1861- Tagore,
1869- Gandhiji. The two died
in the same decade,
1941-Tagore, 1948-Gandhiji.

“Dear Mahatmaji,
The press reports that you in a recent speech referring to the re-
cent earthquake in Bihar spoke as follows, ‘I want you, to be su-
perstitious enough to believe with me that the earthquakes is a
divine chastisement for the great sin we have committed against
those who we describe as Harjans’. I find it difficult to believe it.
But if this be your real view on the matter, I do not think it should
go unchallenged. Herewith you will find a rejoinder from me. If
you are correctly reported in the press, would you kindly send it
to the press? I have not sent it myself for publication, for I would
be the last person to criticise yours acts.
I am looking forward to meeting you here.
With deep love,
Yours as ever,
Rabindranath Tagore

the verdict of a Family Court giving the custody rights

neglected the child.”.

Rohit’s ton closed the
half-open gates of come-
back for the Aussies
On Saturday, India
won the first test of the
Border-Gavaskar tro-
phy convincingly with
an innings and 132 runs
within three days,
handing Australia an
embarrassing defeat.
The first test was noth-
ing more than a one-
sided affair, where the
hosts completely side-
lined the opponents in
both batting and bowl-
ing departments. India
has taken a confidence
boosting 1-0 lead in the
four-match contest.
After an unforgetta-
ble 36 all-out perfor-
mance by India in the
first test of 2020-21 Bor-
der-Gavaskar Trophy,
the Indian team came
back strongly and
brought the reputed
possession home. Be-
fore the start of the first
test of this edition at
Vidarbha Cricket Sta-
dium in Nagpur on Feb-
ruary 9, the cricket fra-
ternity had split reac-
tions on whether India
will be able to retain the
trophy being the hosts.
While the India’s go-
to bowlers Ravindra
Jadeja and Ravichan-
dran Ashwin broke the
backbone of the Aus-
tralian batting order
with a fifer each in the
first and second inning
respectively, the skip-
per Rohit Sharma led
from the front with a
ton and set the platform
for Jadeja (70 in 185
balls) and Axar Patel
(84 in 174 balls) to chip
in with impressive half-
centuries to take the
team’s first innings to-

RECORD THUMPING WIN
Cuttack (Agencies):
President Droupadi
Murmu said on Satur-
day that rice is the cor-
nerstone of food securi-
ty in the country, and a
keyfactorof thenation’s
economy
. The President
said this while inaugu-
rating the 2nd Indian
Rice Congress at ICAR-
National Rice Research
Institute, in Odisha.
“Though India is the
leading consumer and
exporter of rice today,
the situation was differ-
ent when the nation got
Independence... those
days, we were depend-
ent on imports to meet
our food require-
ments,” she said. Prais-
ing the National Rice
Research Institute, the
President said: “If the
nation could overcome
that dependency and
has become the largest
exporter, a lot of credit
goes to the National
Rice Research Institute.
It has contributed im-
mensely to India’s food
security and also in im-
proving farmers’ lives.”
She also said that in
the last century, as irri-
gation facilities expand-
ed, rice came to be
growninnewplacesand
found new consumers.
Speaking about the
challenges faced for cul-
tivationof rice,shesaid:
“Evenasricehasbroken
new ground, there are
places where traditional
varietiesarefacingchal-
lenges. Thus, the task
before us today is to find
the middle path -- pre-
serving and conserving
traditional varieties on
one hand, and maintain-
ing ecological balance
on the other.”
Another challenge is
to save the soil from ex-
cessive use of chemical
fertilisers, which are
considered necessary
for modern rice cultiva-
tion, she added.

DELHI BJP DEMANDS CBI PROBE INTO
IRREGULARITIES IN DISCOM
New Delhi (Agencies): The Delhi BJP on Saturday
demanded a CBI probe into the alleged irregularities
in the power discom boards. Delhi BJP Working
President Virendra Sachdeva said that his party has
continuously been flagging the nexus between the
Delhi government and private power companies. As
part of this nexus, the Delhi government has allowed
private power companies huge extra income through
payment of subsidies and collect different surcharges.
BJP has been continuously saying that this is a well
planned big scam from which Aam Aadmi Party gets
kick back amount. To suppress this scam, the Arvind
Kejriwal government broke the tradition and appointed
its party workers instead of government officers in the
power discoms board, he said.

FIRST INDIA SUNDAY SPECIAL
BY TRIDIB RAMAN
The author is a journalist and political
commentator and views expressed are his personal
Aflamboyant scion of
the Gandhi fam-
ily, Varun, a poet by
nature and scholar by
hobby, was finalising
the presentation of his
ambitious book ‘The
Indian Metropolis’ on
urbanisation, as Gan-
dhi’s elder brother Rahul
walked 3,600 km to
‘Unite India’. The 824-
page mammoth book hit
the market as soon as it
arrived and went on to
become a ‘best seller’
with much fanfare like
its predecessors. Rupa
Publications, which
published this book for
Rs 1,500, claims that
‘this book broke all sales
records as soon as it
came in the market’.
The book has sold more
than 7,000 copies in the
first two days itself.’ The
publisher claims that
‘their first print run is
of one lakh copies.’ The
publisher also says that
‘they plan to achieve this
target of sales easily as
this book has created
a huge ‘hype’ as soon
as it came out.’ Varun
has discussed in great
detail the various forms
of urbanization and
their challenges in this
ambitious book. In this
research book con-
tained in eight chapters,
important issues like
water and sanitation,
crime in the city, health
system, urban transport,
urban unemployment,
accessible housing for
all have been deeply
investigated.
BJP has already
geared up for
the preparations
for the 2024 Lok
Sabha elections.
Speculations are
rife that ‘these
elections will be
ahead of time,
along with the
state elections.’
After field survey
and much inten-
sive brainstorm-
ing, the BJP strategists have managed
to finalise two lists. Those seats have
been marked in the first list where BJP
may have to face defeat. In this list, such
Lok Sabha seats have also been identi-
fied where there is a fifty-fifty chance
of winning or losing. Those Lok Sabha
seats have been included in the second
list where BJP ‘health’ is fine with the
help of the Sangh and the cadre, but the
record of the BJP MP there is not good.
In the first list, 109 seats have been
included, where BJP needs hard work
and the Sangh and the party are already
working there by
connecting with
the grassroots.
There are 26 seats
in the second list,
where the path to
victory is not easy
for the party just
because of the
MP. Based on this
survey, BJP has
ranked its sitting
MPs in a table of 1
to 10. The current
42 saffron MPs are those who have got
above 8 marks, they have been kept in
the category of ‘excellent’. There are
13 MPs, who have barely been able to
score two points for themselves. But
look at the surprising thing, an MP from
Jharkhand has got only 0.9 marks and
an MP from Jhabua is being told to be at
the bottom of this table. Sources reveal
that he has got the lowest 0.6 marks.
It has become clear from the results of
this survey that ‘125 to 145 sitting BJP
MPs may be denied tickets in the coming
general elections’.
After the completion of the first phase of Bharat
Jodo Yatra, Priyanka Gandhi had outlined 24
women-centric programmes under the ‘Haath Se Haath
Jodo Campaign’. The campaign focused on issues
related to half of the population i.e. women. But Rahul
Gandhi’s office wanted that ‘Rahul should be invited
to programmes, where a crowd of more than 10,000
can gather, otherwise, Priyanka can continue with her
programme.’ There is still confusion regarding this.
This will probably be the last reshuffle of the Modi
Cabinet. Sources reveal that the BJP high command
has finalised the list of
‘which ministers are to be
dropped and which new
faces are to join the Union
Cabinet.’ It is believed that
in the Cabinet meeting
convened on February
22 many new faces can
be seen. All the ministers
have been informed about
why the Cabinet meeting on 22nd is so important and
they have been asked to remain in Delhi on 22nd. Now
Narendra Modi and Amit Shah will decide whether the
reshuffle will be like the ‘Gujarat Model’ or some other
formula will be adopted.
There are discussions everywhere about a female MP,
who has a high influence in the political corridors
of Delhi, who has given leave to all the leaders of Delhi
BJP and has hoisted the flag of her supremacy in
NDMC. The NDMC had
allowed four restaurants
to run on its land opposite
Bhikaji Cama Place in New
Delhi for several years
on a very nominal lease
guarantee. The demand of
some time and some luck
of these restaurant own-
ers paid off that these days the craze among the youth
of these restaurants has increased and every evening
a huge crowd of youth gathers here. It goes without
saying that this made the restaurant owner’s pockets
‘full of silver’. This MP says that ‘these restaurant
owners were making huge profits, but were paying a
very meagre amount to NDMC in the name of lease
guarantee, while the opposing camp says that ‘the MP
hastily got the licenses of the four restaurants cancelled
just because she had to oblige some restaurateurs of
their choice.’ The matter has gained so much momen-
tum that now the BJP top has to intervene in it.
The three-day Pratinidhi Sabha of the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh is being held at Samalkha
in Sonipat district of Haryana from March 12 to 14,
in which about 2,000
important representatives
associated with all the
affiliated organisations of
the Sangh will participate.
This meeting is also con-
sidered important from
the point of view that
‘Assembly elections are
being held in three states of the North-East right now.
After this, assembly elections are to be held in six
other states and the general election of 2024 is also
just knocking at the door. Sangh Chief Mohan Bhag-
wat has been giving statements on many important
issues for the past several times, moving away from
the accepted and traditional ideology of the Sangh.
In this regard, his address to the office bearers of the
union on March 14 is also considered very important.

Jaipur: Politics has
started intensifying
ahead the visit of Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi to Dausa today
. All
the Congress leaders in-
cluding Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot have giv-
en indications of dis-
tancing themselves
from the programme.
After this, the BJP has
targeted the CM and the
local leaders of the Con-
gress and said that the
Congress party and its
leaders are also doing
politics regarding the
programme.
It is said that Gover-
nor Kalraj Mishra will
participate in the inau-
gural ceremony of the
Delhi-Mumbai Express-
way Highway
, while CM
Ashok Gehlot has also
been invited, but he has
reportedly refused to at-
tend the programme.
Even during the
budget speech in the
Vidhan Sabha on Fri-
day, CM Gehlot had
made it clear that he
would not participate in
this programme as “the
government pro-
gramme has been
turned into a political
program”. Gehlot had
also said that if he had
gone to the programme,
he would have raised
the issue of the Eastern
Rajasthan Canal Pro-
ject and the BJP and the
people of the Central
government did not
want him to go to this
programme.
Reacting to this, LoP
Gulab Chand Kataria
said that when Gover-
nor Kalraj Mishra will
attend the event, then
what is the objection to
CM. Kataria said that
PM is coming to inau-
gurate Expressway
CM’s job is to inspect it.
Earlier too, CM Gehlot
and all the Congress
leaders had targeted
PM for not mentioning
about the ERCP even in
the Union Budget.

From P1…
S
econdly, the Niro-
gi Rajasthan
scheme was start-
ed right after we came
to power, so that the en-
tire state stays healthy
and soon after Corona
pandemic hit us. The
Nirogi Rajasthan
scheme is only in gov-
ernmenthospitalssince
private hospitals do not
allow OPD, while Chi-
ranjeevi scheme is pro-
vided in 800 private hos-
pitals and it is already
there in government
hospitals. Three and a
half crore people have
been treated in govern-
ment hospitals so far.
Medicines are free, tests
are free, MRI free, CT
Scan free, everything is
free. A scheme like ours
wouldn’t be there any-
where else in the world.
Moreover, Chiranjeevi
Scheme has accidental
insurance also, which
was of five lakh rupees
earlier. We observed
that if a family meets
with an accident, two or
three people may suc-
cumb and if one person
from another family
dies in the same acci-
dent, he or she gets five
lakh whereas the family
also gets the same
amount. So we decided
to increase the acciden-
tal insurance to ten
lakh rupees. This is
how we keep everything
under consideration.
Another aspect is that
the people who are get-
ting admitted, their
medical expenses from
five days before being
admitted to fifteen days
after they are dis-
charged will be born by
the state government.
We have looked at eve-
rything minutely. No
one can think of these
things. Unfortunately
neither do people study,
nor do they seek infor-
mation about it.
z Perhaps what hap-
pens is that when a
person goes to hospi-
tals they face hur-
dles and perhaps
you have removed
those hurdles in this
budget?
See hurdles would be
there as some people
engage in ‘badmashi’,
some people help, some
try to realise more and
claim the operation to
be wrong. These com-
plaint will come. But
what needs to be under-
stood is that for exam-
ple there is Ayushman
Bharat, which is limit-
ed to those who are un-
der the socio-economic
census carried out in
UPA government. Peo-
ple don’t understand
this. I have seen that in
other states its cover-
age is 20 percent or 30
percent, in Gujarat it is
42 percent. But in Ra-
jasthan, our scheme is
for all the Rajasthanis.
This is a huge thing. It
is not limited be it rich
or poor or middle class.
About ninety percent
people have been regis-
tered. And remaining
are those who don’t
know about it yet or are
extremely poor, for
them we try as to why
haven’t we reached till
there. You will be sur-
prised to know that I
have directed that if
someone has not got the
card made of Chiran-
jeevi Yojna and the per-
son falls ill and gets
admitted to hospital,
the information about
this will immediately
be given to the Collec-
tor and the Collectors,
even if the form hasn’t
been filled and the said
person isn’t under cov-
erage, even then the
Collector would put
them under coverage
and their treatment
will start. So even if no
one is covered under
this scheme, then too
we will provide treat-
ment to them.
z A similar master-
stroke has been
played as regards to
free electricity to
farmers upto 2,100
units to households.
How important and
impactful is this
step?
See, after covid-19 and
owing to the inflation,
we cant even fathom
what the poor have to
go through. People’s
backs have broken, the
ache din have left peo-
ple with no jobs, they
have become unem-
ployed, the situation is
grim. So we made so-
cial security our theme.
Education, medical ser-
vices and social secu-
rity. We are giving pen-
sion to one crore indi-
viduals. I requested
Prime Minister that the
way Dr. Manmohan
Singh ji and Sonia Gan-
dhi ji made laws in the
Parliament like RTI,
MNREGA, RTE and
Food Security, similar-
ly you should also make
a law that everyone
across the nation
should get the same
pension. As of now eve-
ry state government
does it according to its
situation. You will be
surprised to know that
the government of In-
dia gives 200-300 rupees
to about two million
people. The Union govt
is spending three hun-
dred crores, we are
spending nine thou-
sand crores on pen-
sions. We want that a
scheme should be made
and law should be
passed in Parliament
which will give relief
to everyone forever.
If the allowance
increases, then the
pension can also
increase and a sys-
tem can be made
for that. Who
are these peo-
ple getting pen-
sions? They
are elderly,
differently-
abled and
w i n d o w s
who are get-
ting this
benefit. It is
our duty to give
them relief in
old age. So this
facility we
provided and
the Govern-
ment of India should
also come forward.
z How do you see the
Right to Health Bill
issue, specially since
doctors appear to be
a little wary of it?
Well, it seems that
some people have been
troubled since free
treatment is being pro-
vided to people. But the
private doctors are on
package and they
should cooperate and
we will remove their
apprehensions. They
are apprehensive that
we have made a rule
that every patient
in emergency
will be treat-
ed. Our idea
was that if
any accident
has hap-
pened in Rajasthan and
the victim may be from
anywhere in the na-
tion, they will be given
treatment immediately
at the nearest hospital
for minimum 72 hours
and later the person
would be shifted to gov-
ernment hospital and
by then the person’s
family members will
come to know, but at
least treatment should
be started to save the
person’s life. They said
that if someone comes
to emergency
that they
h a v e
stomach
a c h e ,
how will
t h e y
t r e a t
such a
person in
e m e r -
gency. So we assured
them that their con-
cerns are relevant and
we will rectify. We will
mention that if an ac-
cidental case comes
then they will have to.
We will honour their
emotions and they too
should cooperate and
honour government’s
wishes. This initiative,
I would say, is non ex-
istent not only in any
other state of the na-
tion, but I would say it
is not there anywhere
in the world. No nation
in the world would
have a scheme where
everything would be
free. Obama care start-
ed by then President
Obama of United
States has not been en-
tirely successful. Ra-
jasthanis should feel
proud that their gov-
ernment has given
them this scheme. If
anyone in a family
comes down with cold
and flu, on average 400-
5-- rupees are spent for
treatment, and we are
treating people even if
it costs lakhs of rupees.
So private sector needs
to change its viewpoint
and come forward to
support the govern-
ment.
z In the budget, you
announced gas cylin-
ders for merely Rs
500. When Ujjawala
Scheme was started it
was said that women
will not have to re-
vert to old ways of
cooking, but then the
price of cylinders un-
der this scheme were
increased and women
went back to the
same old way of
cooking on chool-
ah. Do you think
your announce-
ment will be a
boon for such
women?
PM Narendra
Modi should be
grateful to Ra-
jasthan gov-
e r n m e n t
that the scheme
started by him, where
cylinders were being
given for 400 rupees
with one free cylinder
but that has now
reached 1040 rupees
per cylinder, and as a
result those cooking
gas were not being
used, so we have now
started those same
choolhas. The scheme
was of union govern-
ment and now we are
supplementing it by
giving cylinders in 500
rupees to BPL and oth-
ers, then he should be
happy and come for-
ward to support the
state government. In
fact, he should say that
in all the states, the
government of India
will provide gas cylin-
ders to the poor con-
sumers of Ujjawala Yo-
jna in just five hundred
rupees.
z Have you taken
over another agenda
of BJP by announc-
ing Rs 40,000 grant
for bovine rearers
who lost their cattle
to lumpy skin dis-
ease?
No it is not about hi-
jacking anyone’s agen-
da. If a farmer’s milch
animal dies due to
lumpy, you can imag-
ine how it would play
on them. We asked the
Union government to
declare lumpy skin dis-
ease as a calamity like
Covid. The central gov-
ernment would have
given the money, but
they are not doing it.
So we said that we will
give money. We will
give forty thousand ru-
pees so that the farmer
has at least some relief.
Moreover the animal
insurance that we have
announced is far more
impactful than this
compensation. The
government will get
the animal insured. We
have said that two
milch animals per fam-
ily will be insured by
the state government
so that farmers and
cattle rearers can get
forty thousand rupees
per cattle. Also, we are
giving five rupee per
litre for milk to cattle
rearers, how many
states are giving this?
We are looking after
farmers and those en-
gaged in husbandry.
z What benefit will
the employees of
Boards and Corpora-
tions get from OPS
since now you have
increased its ambit?
This is also a security.
An employee works for
thirty five years and
they would naturally
think what will happen
to them after retire-
ment. The money being
deposited in New Pen-
sion Scheme (NPS) all
gets invested in the
share market and mu-
tual funds. No one
knows what will be the
situation of mutual
funds and the market
in the future and based
on that the person will
get their pension. So
how will the person’s
future be secured? I re-
member thirty five
years ago, I deposited
twenty thousand ru-
pees in SBI’s mutual
fund, but I received a
paltry sum because the
fund went down. This
investment depends on
market and my experi-
ence in this field is also
helping me now. So why
should I make the em-
ployees get dependent
on NPS when the fu-
ture is uncertain and
no one knows what will
happen to them. And
when people have some
insecurity, then some
people engage in cor-
ruption too. Secondly,
there is OPS in Army
but not in BSF. Recent-
ly Delhi High Court
said that OPS will have
to be given to all para
military forces. How
can there be differ-
ence? CAG has said
that so many years
have passed but its
rules and regulations
have not been formed.
Thirdly judicial com-
mission has said that
they will not accept it.
High court judges
would get OPS and oth-
er would get NPS.
There are critics of my
scheme and they are
honourable citizens of
the nation, I respect
them but I would like to
ask them that if such is
the situation then an-
swer them what will
happen.
WHATEVER I LEARNED IN MY 50 YEARS OF POLITICAL
CAREER, I HAVE APPLIED IN THIS BUDGET, SAYS CM
EDUCATION, MEDICAL AND SOCIAL SECURITY AMONG
OTHERS, HAVE BEEN OUR MAIN FOCUS AREAS: CM
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in conversation with Aditi Nagar at
the Chief Minister’s Residence in Jaipur on Saturday.

Jaipur: For the first
time in the history of
Jaipur Development
Authority (JDA, the
preparation for review
of cadre strength is be-
ing made comprehen-
sively. The proposal for
review was prepared on
the instructions of JDC
Ravi Jain.
UDH Minister
Shanti Dhariwal gave
green signal to the pro-
posal and the proposal
has been sent for ap-
proval to the Finance
Department. Total
number of posts are to
be increased from 1,961
to 2,306 and re-determi-
nationof cadrestrength
is proposed in all cad-
res. The unemployed
youth will get opportu-
nities for recruitment
in JDA and there will be
shortage of man power
in development work
and various works.
The JDA was estab-
lished on August 5, 1982
and after that the as-
sessment has not been
done so widely. The
cadre of all cadres of
JDA has not been re-
scheduled. The biggest
reason for rescheduling
is the rapidly growing
size of the city
.
The committee was
formed under the chair-
manship of JDA secre-
tary Ujjwal Rathore and
the proposal was made
according to the recom-
mendations of the com-
mittee.
Various development
works related to JDA
will not get stuck due to
lack of manpower after
cadre strength review.
New recruitment will
be possible on the in-
creased posts of JDA
service and more op-
portunities will be
available on ex-cadre
posts. The personnel
coming on deputation
will get more opportu-
nities.
