I used to share the details of where we were going, the direction and the cuts we were taking with the visitors. However, my experience with PM Modi was very different as compared to other leaders. Each time when I would take my map out in order to explain where and in which direction we were headed, Modiji would take out his map from his file. This used to be a detailed map of the region and along side in another page, there would be a long list of places with distances and direc- tions very clearly laid out. This second page would show us if we turned to the right and traveled, say 30 kms, we would reach this zila. In case of an emergen- cy, if our helicopter had to land, then the page would have all the information of the entire local area with complete details. His file contained every single bit of information. Also, whenever Naren- dra Modiji was scheduled to visit the 7 states for an election campaign, we used to receive a request from his office to send manifestos of regional parties for at least the previous 3-4 terms. Not just this, we would also be required to send present manifestos, a list of current issues in the assembly, personal profiles of our candi- dates and also those of the opposition party who were standing for elections in the area, and many other such details. Thus to say, his planning is not just meticu- lous, but is done well in advance. This detailed planning before taking any action defines the quintessen- tial Modiji. TO BE CONTINUED... I No compromise on Safai, Modi’s Cleanliness Drive hen Narendra bhai took over the responsi- bilities of the Sangathan Ma- hamantri of Gujarat, at that time the BJP district office was close to the jail, adjacent to the Junagarh court. Once Narendra bhai and some of the zila kar- yakartas had to hold a meeting and they decided to meet at the party office. It was me who ferried Nar- endra bhai on my scooter to the BJP office. Since it was slightly on the out- skirts of the city , it was not possible for party workers to go there every day . When we reached there, I could see disappointment written all over Narendra bhai’s face. He was unhap- py to see the dirt all over in the house. He turned to me and asked, “Where’s the broom?” Well, I tried to explain to him and dissuade him from doing this, but he just asked me one question “Tell me where’s the broom?” I then said to him “I request you to please stand on one side of the room, I will do the broom- ing.” So today when we wit- ness the Swachh Bharat Mission and its success, people like me go back in time and recollect incidents from years ago when Modiji showed to us how important cleanliness is to him. This is one of the biggest lessons I have learned from him and I remember his penchant for Swachhta from his earlier days. W COMPILED AND EDITED BY SHASHIKANT SHARMA AND SHWETA SHARMA arendra Modiji asked me “How many villages comeunderyou?” I replied “Sir, 70 villages.” He asked me further “So, how many schools and educational institutions are there in this area? I want you to focus on building friendly relations between the public and police. When these educational institutions take their students on tours, do they in- form you?” I said “No, sir! I receive no information.” He then gave me an eye-open- ing suggestion. He said “You must go and approach them and take details from them about the tours being organized, especially the age of the children. And then tell them, since young children will be embarking on the tours, we will have two of our policemen ac- company them for their security .” When I asked sir to elaborate on this suggestion, he said “The public and young kids are scared of the police. If there are 50 kids in a bus and two buses with 100 children are on a trip, then they will develop a deep bond with the two policemen who are accom- panying them. The fear of policemen will vanish from the hearts of children. And the policemen, they will feel as if they are part of a family and they will cher- ish the bond that they develop with these children.” Sir gave us many more suggestions like this one that helped us create a more lov- ing, happy, secure and a united society .

9. An occasional backward glance, reposes and refreshes us for the journey ahead and moving on. —Dr Jagdeesh Chandra, CEO Editor-in-Chief, First India JAIPUR | FRIDAY, MAY 19, 2023 www.firstindia.co.in I https://firstindia.co.in/epapers/jaipur I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia 08 2NDFRONT POSTAL REG NO. JPC/004/2022-24 z Three days passed and then the Chief Minister of Karnata- ka was selected. How do you visualise this entire episode? Dr Jagdeesh Chandra: The entire chain of events is under normal process. When ever CM is selected in any State, except under BJP rule, where a chit is pulled out and the name is announced without delay, it takes time. And now the CM name has been announced and Siddar- amaiah will be CM. They have taken time to solve the issue sur- rounding DK Shivaku- mar, but still the good part is that the names have been decided upon in a reasonable time. z What, according to you, will be the challenges before the new Chief Minister? Do you think that even after all the under- standings and deals, will this government function for five years? See, this is an important question as to what are the challenges. The biggest challenge before the new Chief Min- ister is Gandhi family, where there are three ‘Power Centres,’ and to strike a balance between the three and to work with them, to keep himself equidis- tant from all the Gan- dhis and to fit himself in the internal politics of 10, Janpath while keeping in mind the DK factor. The second challenge is the ‘power sharing formula’ with DK Shivakumar. It is being said that about a dozen men would be sworn in as ministers and of these, three would be Siddaramai- ah’s and remaining would be DK’s of which, one would be Parmeshwaran and even Congress Chief Kharge’s son can be sworn-in, it is being said. So overall, this ‘power sharing formula’ is a challenge in itself. And even if this is decided, then the issue of total ministers in the Cabinet would arise. Then there would be the issue of distribution of departments. Then there will be the issue of transfer list of IAS, IPS, the State bu- reaucracy . That is a major issue, which seems small, but is actually an extremely sensitive issue. Then the issue of appointment of individuals to Corpora- tions, Boards etc. And on top of that, the biggest challenge is that to fulfil the guarantees and promises made by Congress like OPS etc, the State needs a budget of Rs 62,000 crore, and where will this money come from? These are the basic challenges. Secondly, you asked if this government will be able to complete a full-term. That in itself is the prime challenge and the biggest challenge, because it is seldom that someone com- pletes five year term in Karnataka. Siddara- maiah completed one term of five years, but after that, who ever comes, like Yediyurap- pa had to go within six days, then Kumaraswa- my came and he went in about thirteen months’ time and when Yedi- yurappa returned, he had to drop out after two years. So, this ‘up and down’ keeps happening in Karnataka politics and political instability is a common feature. So, we will have to wait and see how the ‘power sharing formula’ plays up and what happening in two and a half years from now. z What was the reason for this unfath- omable loss of BJP in Karnataka? It is all part of luck and destiny . Reasons can be only for namesake and I can list a few. First reason was the ‘anti-estab- lishment’ factor. Then second is the ‘perception on corruption’ that kind of created a wave. Pay CM or the 40 percent commission type of lingo resonated with people. Corruption is nothing new. Manmo- han Singh government went out of power due to this and over the past eight years, corruption is hardly an issue. Rath- er ‘Hindutva’ ‘Nation- alism’ is an issue, but in Karnataka, it became an issue with slogans like pay CM and 40 percent. A narrative was spun around it and there were columns in papers and complaints were also made in the Election Commission but till then, a lot of time had passed and the contractor, who had claimed that 40 % were demanded from him, he committed suicide and thus, he couldn’t reveal what the truth and false of the case were. The State govt removed the minister, who allegedly demanded the 40 percent commission and that Minister was not given the ticket because it had caused a major damage. So, overall an atmosphere had been created in Karnataka on corruption. Thirdly, ‘Yediyurappa factor’ as it appears that he could not come out openly in support and fourthly, the ‘ticket distribution’ was also faulted. See there are groups every- where and the internal strife, even though the High Command tried to handle that, but the internal strife was too much. Then, several leaders left the party, which generally does not happen in BJP . They tried to pacify the dis- gruntled lot, which too generally does not happen in BJP, and the dis- gruntled lot did not pay heed. So, overall, it was a conspiracy of circum- stances due to which BJP had to face such a loss wherein, no factor worked, which is sur- prising. This result can not be analysed scien- tifically, because it be- trays all logic. It is a game played by destiny . z Do you think Gov- ernment of India’s feedback system had gone ‘One-way’? I personally believe that Narendra Modi’s system, the feedback system in PMO, or in IB or in Ministries is ‘fool- proof,’ broadly . PM never stays in the dark as he gets exact feedback. And at many times, he has retracted his steps too keeping in mind, the public sentiment, for example, what happened in the farmers’ agitation. But we don’t know what happened this time around as it seems the system has collapsed. Either they knew that they were going to lose, but it seems that somewhere the system has failed and I feel that somewhere Naren- dra Modi must be feeling wronged. He has such a major system and perhaps he was always told in the feedback that BJP is win- ning. Although it does not matter what feedback is being given but while forming an overall strategy, it plays a role. This time, for the first time, it felt like the feedback system of government of India or the Prime Minister has not been that effective, or that they could not touch the nerve of the people or could not ob- serve the ground reali- ties. So, it can be said that this was a failure of intelligence system and due to this, it was a ‘Yes man briefing.’ So perhaps one needs to take a call on the people, who report to PM or the agencies that report to government, they will have to be vigilant and give the Prime Minister the authentic details and facts so that a deba- cle doesn’t happen on the policy level. z How did Congress manage to reach the majority figure of 135 after 40 years? What were the reasons by which Con- gress won such a major victory? See, like I said earlier, the reasons for their (BJP) loss, became the reason for Congress’ victory. The biggest thing is destiny. Con- gress’ revival had to happen from Karnata- ka, in a way, so that happened. Apart from the negative points of the BJP, like the anti-estab- lishments feeling, the corruption charges, the failure of input system etc, the biggest factor was that the two groups in Congress stood united, which actually hap- pens with great difficulty in states. And they contested the elections as one unit and when Rahul Gandhi had carried out his ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ from that state and his interac- tions with these leaders, became a differ- ence. So, these leaders did not fight among themselves publicly, even though they may have differences. Sec- ondly, the guarantees and the populist promises that have been made. Everyone makes promises but from where will you get those 62,000 crore rupees? The way of these promises was shown by Ashok Gehlot through OPS, which played a role in Himachal too. Then they gave assur- ances like free electricity, and pension to the female head of the family or free travel or cheap gas cylinder or interest free loan to fishermen, or increasing the reservation limit. So overall, a package was made of freebies. And what is more important is the fact that ‘Muslim po- larisation’ of votes happened for the first time. So, there is no perfect reason for failure, but if we jot down, then these appear to be some of the reasons. z Why couldn’t JDS become a ‘Kingmak- er’ in these elections? And will there be a two-party system in Karnataka now? People did not give it the chance of playing that role. Although pri- or to the elections and after the exit polls, they kept on saying that we will be the ‘Kingmak- ers.’ They had complete faith and people did not give them that chance thus, they didn’t become ‘Kingmakers. Re- garding the two-party system, well you can say so, since the smaller parties and even JDS has been cleared out now. Now, there is a two-party system in Karnataka i.e. BJP and Congress and in fact, several think tanks and politicians and the people in power too believe that there should be two party in polity since regional parties play the game of ‘spoilers.’ It may therefore, be the beginning of two party system in Karnataka. z So will Congress include JDS in its government now also? They are self- sufficient, they have clear majority, but sometimes in politics, there is cama- raderie, like how Nar- endra Modi shows brotherhood in Govern- ment of India, where even though they had 303 seats, but Modi asked all the parties to move along. Perhaps they may have had such a thought. Thus, it could be so that going ahead, Congress shows large-heartedness and takes them along. And if it does not, then in 2024, BJP may ask them. z About 73 percent vot- ing was conducted in Karnataka this time. What are its implica- tions? Also, how right were the exit polls? See, this result means that the people want to give a decisive mandate, whosoever it gives that mandate to. So the day, we found that 73 percent votes have been cast, I realised it was a decisive mandate. And going by the way Naren- dra Modi carried out his rally on the last day and the huge turnout of people, it seemed that the election would be ‘One way .’ But although that huge voter turnout was for Congress, but its implication is that people want to give decisive mandate. Second- ly , exit polls have turned to be correct in the case of Karnataka. In 2018, eight exit polls were conducted of which, seven turned out to be correct. This time around, seven major exit polls were conducted of which, five said that Congress will lead. India Today had said that Congress will form government. So this time around, you can say that the credibility of exit polls have been restored in Karnataka. Managing Gandhis, handling the ‘power sharing’ bringing annual `62k cr for Rahul’s five guarantee freebies, a challenge before Siddaramaiah: Dr Chandra During the show #JConKarnatakaCM trended top All-India on Twitter Dr Jagdeesh Chandra in conversation with Parineeta Bakshi, Khushi Gupta, Amit Mishra, Aditi Nagar Poornima Mishra during The JC Show.

Dr Chandra also reveals how Congress’ CM Siddaramaiah will have a tough time owing to various challenges before him, how it was sheer luck and destiny that brought Congress to helm in the State and how it was a divided BJP that resulted in Congress’ victory more than a united Congress.

YOUR DAY Horoscope by Saurabbh Sachdeva astroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux, is a condition where the stomach's acid and digestive enzymes flow back into the oesophagus, causing irritation and inflammation. GERD is a common condition affecting millions of people worldwide, and if left untreated, it can lead to serious health complications. SYMPTOMS OF GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE Symptoms of GERD include heartburn, regurgitation of food or sour liquid, difficulty swallowing, chest pain, and a chronic cough. These symptoms can be mild or severe and can occur intermittently or regularly, depending on the severity of the condition. If left untreated, GERD can lead to serious health complications such as oesophagal stricture, Barrett's oesophagus, and oesophagal cancer. Oesophagal stricture is a nar- rowing of the oesophagus caused by scar tissue from acid reflux, which can make it dif- ficult to swallow and can cause food to get stuck in the oesophagus. Barrett's oesophagus is a condition where the cells lin- ing the oesophagus change, which can increase the risk of developing oesophagal cancer. TREATMENT OF GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE Treatment for GERD includes lifestyle changes such as weight loss, avoiding certain foods and drinks, and elevat- ing the head of the bed. Med- ications such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine-2 blockers, and antacids can also be used to reduce the amount of acid in the stomach. In severe cases, surgery may be required to strengthen the LES and prevent acid reflux. The most common sur- gical procedure for GERD is fundoplication, where the upper part of the stomach is wrapped around the LES to create a new valve and prevent acid reflux. Five Best Ways to Reduce Gastroesophageal Re- flux Disease Symptoms Adhering to specific diet and lifestyle guidelines can reduce more than one-third of the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms in women. In conclusion, GERD is a common condition that can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. If you experience symptoms of acid reflux, it is important to seek medical attention and get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan to prevent long-term damage to the oesophagus. With proper treatment, most people with GERD can m a n a g e their symptoms and prevent serious health complications. G Source: Medindia Elderly With Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease at Risk for Aero- digestive Cancers Elderly individuals with gastroesophageal reflux disease have an increased risk for cancers of the upper respiratory and digestive tract. DR TRUPTI SHIROLE cityfirst@firstindia.co.in HIGHLIGHTS n GERD, or acid reflux disease, occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing irritation and discomfort n If left untreated, GERD can lead to more severe health problems such as Barrett's esophagus, oesophagal cancer, and respiratory issues n Lifestyle changes, medication, and surgery are some of the treatment options available for managing GERD and preventing long-term complications CAUSES OF GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE GERD is caused by the weakening of the lower oesophagal sphincter (LES), a muscular ring that acts as a valve between the stomach and the oesophagus. When the LES is weakened or relaxed, it allows stomach acid to flow back into the oesophagus, causing irritation and inflammation. Acid Reflux DON'T LET IT burn you out

12. R adhika Madan starrer Kacchey Limbu's trailer has been released recently. The Shubham Yogi di- rectorial also stars Rajat Barme- cha and Ayush Mehra. The trailer shows Radhika assembling a team and playing gully cricket opposite his brother's team. The movie will release on a digital streaming platform on 19th May. The trailer of Kacchey Limbu gives the audience a sneak peek of Radhika Madan's cricket style and many think that her bowling style looks similar to the Indian cricketer Jasprit Bumrah. He said When we started prepping for the cricket, I wanted to see what comes natu- rally to the actors. Radhika had grown up playing underarm with her older brother and she was super excited to show us what she knew. But she was even more eager to explore and invent a bowling action that could be an identifier for the character. Our research spanned from attending underarm tournaments in the suburbs of Mumbai to watching cricket highlights together.” S ara Ali Khan has been making quite a fashion statement at the Cannes Film Festival 2023. On Day 2 of Cannes, Sara Ali Khan sizzled in a black-and-white hued fusion saree, and her retro hairstyle perfectly complemented her ensemble.

R ashmika Mandanna is very close to her ru- moured boyfriend Vijay Deverakonda's brother Anand. She recently attended an event for his upcoming film Baby and launched a song titled Premisthunna. During the event, while she was speaking on the stage, fans began shouting 'Vadina', which means Bhabhi in Hindi and Sister-in-law in English. As Rashmika Mandanna took the stage to talk, fans teased her indi- rectly with Vijay Deverakonda's name as they kept chanting Vadina Vadina. Rashmika was forced to stop her speech for a brief moment as she noticed that the crowd was trying to chant something. When she heard that they were saying Va- dina Vadina, she blushed and spurned it off with a laugh.
