, he
said that the BJP doesn’t
want to listen. “In the
Governor’s address,
there was information
about the works of the
govt. So far the govt has
done many important
works and the schemes
arebeingruninthestate
in a better way than the
previous government,
but the opposition peo-
ple are busy wasting the
time of the House by ar-
guing beyond all these
things,” Gehlot said.

Jaipur/Tonk: Former
Dy CM Sachin Pilot
was on a tour of Chak-
su and Tonk on Mon-
day
. He laid the founda-
tion stone of Govern-
ment College near
Shitla village of Chak-
su and attended the
Mahila Sangam pro-
gram in the Govern-
ment College campus
as the chief guest.
On this occasion, Pi-
lot said that due to res-
ervation in the country
,
women are holding
various posts including
Sarpanch, Panch, Prad-
han, but they need to be
given more power. “In
today’s era, there is a
need to bring youth for-
ward,” he said. Pilot
also inaugurated a pri-
vate hospital in Civil
Lines of Tonk.
Speaking on the Right to Health Bill,
Min Pratap S Khachariawas said that
the Bill is in the interest of the people.
“We respect doctors and will listen to
them. If the doctors have any sugges-
tions, we will fulfill them,” he said. The
minister said that there is Cong govt and
in the the last 4 years there has been
development in every field. “Be it govt or
pvt hospital, treatment is being provided
free of cost. Rajasthan’s law and order is
100 times better than that of MP and UP.
Strict action is being taken against those
involved in paper leak,” he said. He said
that Cong govt is a public welfare and
development government and BJP used
to lie outside to mislead the public.
MP Kirodi Lal Meena held a public
dialogue with people in Vatika
village. He said that papers are being
leaked in the Rajasthan government and
called upon the youth to protest outside
the Vidhan Sabha on 24 January and
demand the government to conduct
a independent probe from the Central
agency CBI into the paper leak case.
He appealed to the youth to come in
maximum numbers and participate in
the protest outside the Vidhan Sabha.
Kirodi went to the temple in Charbhuja
Nath and wished for the happiness
and prosperity of the state. Hundreds
of people including Karan Singh were
present on this occasion.

went to the Maninagar
Ahmedabad Gujarat State
Sangh Karyalaya in
Ahmedabad. At that time we
had late Vakil Saheb there
and I went to meet him. He
was in a meeting when I ar-
rived at the office. We had
heard a lot about him as the
emergency had just been lift-
ed and all those who had been
underground were gradually
coming out in the open. Sev-
eral Sangh pracharaks were
connecting with us and pass-
ing on messages incognito.
One of these pracharaks liv-
ing in disguise was Narendra
bhai and he was very popular.
Sometime a sardar, sometime
a sadhu - Narendra bhai had
been travelling throughout
Gujarat with the messages of
the Sangh. But we had only
heard about him, never met
him. Well, I will always re-
member my visit to the Sangh
Karyalaya that day as it was
the first time I got to meet
Narendra bhai. A very sim-
ple, young guy — I was com-
pletely taken in by his mag-
netic persona. I introduced
myself to him and he knew all
about my father, his work and
everything. In 1993 when he
visited USA the first time,
wherever we travelled, we
rode in the subway
, the buses
or the metro. What I observed
about him was that he was
always reading something.
Whatever instructions would
be posted on the walls, he
would make sure to not pass
by without reading them and
he would continue to talk to
you at the same time. His in-
terest was Central Park,
Brooklyn Museum and his
goal was to grab as much ex-
perience as he could in his
short visit. Not just this, Nar-
endra bhai has a penchant for
photography. Even today he
has a big library in Gandhi-
nagar dedicated to the photo-
graphs he has clicked and the
memories he has created over
the years.
One great quality about
Narendra bhai is that whoso-
ever he would stay with, rath-
er than becoming a burden
on the household, he would
turn into an asset, in fact he
would live like he belonged to
the family itself! As a Sangh
pracharak, he would not just
connect with the main per-
son of the house but would
interact with each and every
member of the family and
endeared himself to all of
them. He would enter the
kitchen and offer his help in
cooking if needed. “Bhabhi-
ji, Mataji, let me know how I
may help you today”, he
would say. And with his
smiles and jovial nature, he
won everyone over. Well, he
is a fantastic cook himself !
Not just this, he was willing
to contribute to other house-
hold chores as well. This is
how Narendra bhai connect-
ed with several families and
formed a strong bond of love
and affection with all the
members of the these fami-
lies where he would put up as
Sangh pracharak.
He carried a diary with the
details about thousands of
volunteers or karyakartas of
the Jan Sangh, of the BJP and
he would know their sons and
daughters too living in the
USA. He would try and call up
as many people as he could
during his visit. As to me,
Narendra bhai is the one who
understood from day one the
strength of the NRI. All NRIs
have a strong connect in their
native villages and if they
spread good word about you,
thousands of people know
everything about your accom-
plishments. Even today very
few people understand the
strength of the NRI. But Nar-
endra bhai was the best and
remains the best Statesman
we could ever have!
In 1997, we visited the
States once again. At that
time he was the National Gen-
eral Secretary of the BJP and
incharge of Punjab, Haryana
and Himachal Pradesh. He
always wanted to meet the
community so we organised a
community gathering at
Bombay Plaza. One of our
Gujarat MLAs, a young guy
elected for the first time, Pan-
kaj Desai was there too. To-
day he is a senior and sea-
soned BJP member. Narendra
bhai said to him “Pankaj
bhai, tell me about your con-
stituency!” And that is how
Narendra bhai gathered com-
plete information about the
people, their problems and
the way ahead. The point here
is that at that time Narendra
bhai was not looking after Gu-
jarat, but the urge to know as
much as possible about the
people from those he meets
comes naturally to him. Nar-
endra bhai gains a lot of in-
sight and perspective from
his general interactions with
people. Any karyakarta he
would meet, he would ask
questions to test the level of
his or her connect with the
Sangh. “So what is Bharat
Mata? How many shakhas are
there? Who is your Zila
Pracharak?” — these are the
sort of questions he would
ask the volunteers and such
discussions would help every-
one stay current and augment
their knowledge. This is the
reason why people love him
and he has a strong hold over
them. His power to communi-
cate with people with diverse
backgrounds is terrific.
Post this interaction, we
took him for an interview
with TV Asia. You know, the
tunnel that connects New
York to New Jersey is always
over crowded. Mostly there is
a bumper to bumper traffic
jam there. And he was dis-
cussing with us what the
other venues for the inter-
view could be besides this! So
Narendra bhai has always
been a visionary
. He is always
thinking out of the box and
trying to look for alternatives
that improve the efficiency of
governance.

Judges don’t
have to face
scrutiny: Rijiju
New Delhi: Law Minis-
ter Kiren Rijiju on Mon-
day said that judges do
not have to contest elec-
tions or face scrutiny by
the public. Rijiju was
speaking at an event of
the Delhi Bar Associa-
tion. The law minister
stated that even though
judges are not elected by
people, but still public is
judging them from the
orders they passed and
their actions.
“After becoming judg-
es, they don’t have to
face elections or scruti-
ny by the public...Public
is watching the judges,
their judgements and
the way they deliver
justice, and make their
assessments...In this
era of social media,
nothing can be hidden,”
Rijiju stated.
“RSS Netaji’s goals
similar for the Nation”
Kolkata (PTI): RSS
Chief Mohan Bhagwat
on Monday said the
goals of RSS and that of
Netaji Subhas Chandra
Bose are similar — mak-
ing India a great nation.
Hiscommentcameamid
the criticism that the
ideologies of the RSS
and Netaji were not the
same. Critics pointed
out that Netaji believed
in secularism which is
“against the ideology of
RSS”. Lauding Netaji’s
contribution to India’s
freedom struggle, Bhag-
wat urged everyone to
imbibe the qualities and
teachings of Bose and
work towards making
the country “vishwa
guru” (world leader).

Bose recall his unpar-
alleled contribution to
India’s history. He will
be remembered for his
fierce resistance to colo-
nial rule. We are work-
ing to realise his vision
for India,” PM Modi
wrote in his tweet. The
Government had de-
clared January 23 as
Parakram Diwas in

the birth anniversary
of Netaji Subhas Chan-
dra Bose.
Born on January 23,
1897, Netaji played a
crucial role in India’s
freedom movement.

Gandhi said he spoke
to a cross section of
people from JK during
his yatra and they
raised their issues. He
said they told him that
their voices are not be-
ing heard by the admin-
istration. “The entire
trade is being run by
outsiders and people of
JK watch them sitting
haplessly,” he said.
Gandhi said Jammu

ployment in the country
.

“There was another

First India Bureau
Jaipur: The state gov-

farmers to install solar
pumps in their fields at
60 percent subsidy so
that they do not have to
depend on the availabil-
ity of electricity for irri-

energy is being encour-
aged in the state. Due to
the facility in irriga-
tion, the yield in the
fields has increased and
the electricity expendi-
ture of the farmers has
also reduced. This has
led to an increase in the
income of farmers.

Jaipur: The PHED has
to come on backfoot in
the issue pertaining

, it
was decided to cancel
the tenders. The de-
partment had to take
this decision on the di-
rection of Finance de-
partment, after the fi-
nance department con-
ducted examination of
the entire tender pro-
cess and found major
lacunae and shortfalls
in it. The officials re-
ceived a huge shock
when they found that
some tenders were giv-
en at forty percent over
the rate which would
result in a loss of Rs
2,000 crore to the gov-
ernment.
Notably, the Centre
and State share project
cost by 50 percent each
in the Jal Jeevan Mis-
sion (JJM). A total of
10 tenders were issued
for work related to the
Mission in thirteen
districts. Among these,
eight tenders have
been approved at in-
creased rates between
12-40 percent.
The finance depart-
ment straight away de-
clined the PHED’s ar-
gument of increase in
GST rates and price
escalation and on Jan-
uary 2, 2023, the fi-
nance department is-
sued orders to PHED
asking it to renegotiate
in tenders with more
than ten percent in-
creased price or under-
take the tendering pro-

BJP RESOLVES TO OUST CONG FROM RAJ,
BRING PARTY’s DOUBLE-ENGINE GOVT
Aishwary Pradhan
Jaipur: Union Minis-
ter and BJP MP Kailash
Choudhary on Monday,
said the party has
adopted a resolution to
ensure a ‘double-en-
gine’ government in
Rajasthan after oust-
ing the Congress from
power.
He said the BJP will
work to resolve the
problems of the com-
mon people that have
surfaced during its ‘Jan
Aakrosh Yatra’. If need-
ed, the party will agi-
tate to get them re-
solved, Choudhary said.
“A resolution has been
taken to stand with the
people to solve their
problems that were
raised during the ‘Jan
Aakrosh Yatra’ and also
to uproot the Congress
government from Ra-
jasthan. Definitely, a
‘double-engine’ govern-
ment will be formed,”
he said at a press con-
ference after a BJP of-
fice bearers’ meeting
here.
The Minister claimed
that top officials and
MLAs seem to be in-
volved in the paper leak
cases as without their
support, it would not
have been possible for
such gangs to play with
the future of the youth.
Rajasthan is on top in
crime against women
and the Congress gov-
ernment has made it a
state of riots, he added.
The Union Minister
of State for Agriculture
said the Rajasthan gov-
ernment has left the
people at God’s mercy
due to infighting within
the ruling Congress
party
.

taken to encourage in-
vestment. Tourism has
been given the status of
an industry for invest-
ment in the tourism sec-
tor as well,” CM said.

projects related to in-
dustry
, energy and tour-
ism were signed.
Around 17,000 people
will get employment
from these projects
which are going on in
different districts of the
State. “The State gov-
ernment’s policies have
eased the process of set-
ting up region’s mango
industry
. The condition
of law order, road in-
frastructure, electricity
etc. in State is quite
good. Due to public wel-
fare policies of State
govt, there is no such
situation as labor un-
rest in the region,” said.
The Chief Minister
said that in the Invest
Rajasthan Summit or-
ganised in October last
year, MoUs worth about
Rs 11 lakh cr were
signed, of which 49% of
the MoUs are being im-
plemented. Representa-
tives of various compa-
nies signed MoU with

aipur Litera-

2023 includes
opportunities
to meet your fa-
vourite authors
and brush up
on your writing skills (aid-

to foster a true love of
reading, most of the festi-

other fun activities for

adults.
With the rise in
the digital age, it
has been tough

ing. The biggest
testimony to the
revival of books is the
large swathe of literary
festivals mushrooming up
in every part of the world.
The 16th edition of Jaipur
Literature Festival at-
tracted huge numbers of
people from all back-
grounds together-
readers, writers,
playwrights,
and publish-
ers who come
to spend a week
or week-
end exchanging ideas
with like-minded people
on Day 5 on Monday at Ho-
tel Clarks Amer, Jaipur.
Jaipur Literature Festi-
val brings people of all
backgrounds together. Ba-
sically, everyone loves
what reading repre-
sents: the stirring of
