4. PERSPECTIVE JAIPUR | TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2023 04 www.firstindia.co.in I https://firstindia.co.in/epapers/jaipur I twitter.com/thefirstindia I facebook.com/thefirstindia I instagram.com/thefirstindia Promoted by Kedia Real Estate LLP 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 arrived 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 living 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 completely 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 interest 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 whosoever he would stay with, rather 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 person 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 household chores as well. This is how Narendra bhai connected with several families and formed a strong bond of love and affection with all the members of the these families 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 accomplishments. 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 insight 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 everyone 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 interview 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. TO BE CONTINUED...

The department had to take this decision on the di- rection of Finance department, after the finance department conducted examination of the entire tender process and found major lacunae and shortfalls in it. The officials received a huge shock when they found that some tenders were given at forty percent over the rate which would result in a loss of Rs 2,000 crore to the government. 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 increased rates between 12-40 percent. The finance department straight away de- clined the PHED’s ar- gument of increase in GST rates and price escalation and on Jan- uary 2, 2023, the finance department issued orders to PHED asking it to renegotiate in tenders with more than ten percent increased price or undertake the tendering process again. Further- more, the finance de- partmentalsoinstruct- ed to follow the department’s guidelines issued on December 16, 2022tokeeptheidentity of the parties involved in tender anonymous. The finance department also did away with the boundation to interested parties to take certificate from concerned engineer after a visit to the project site. This was done so thatthepartiesfighting forthetenderdonotget a chance at pooling. The finance department has shown such strictness and directed thatsinceJJMistoend in March 2024, hence the work needs to be finished prior to this time. After such strict instructions of the finance department, the PHED is left with no other choice but to cancel the tenders and after a difficult period of 20 days, the PHED had to go on backfoot. Interestingly, the Finance department is headed by Chief Minister Ashok Ge- hlot while the PHED is headed by minister Mahesh Joshi, who is known to be a confi- dante of Gehlot. K n o w l e d g e a b l e sources reveal that now it will take six months to undertake the tendering process and thus it is a major challengeforthePHED to get the work completed on time.
