ADITI NAGAR
urning 56 today, Amit
Anilchandra Shah has
perhaps been one of the
few politicians in the
Indian history who have
quite literally changed
the way politics is done in the country
while displaying immense tenacity to
mobilize party cadre and resources
towards winning elections, one after
other. His one quote given to a media
prior to the 2014 general election,
“Will anyone go to battle to lose?”,
displays his never say die attitude
and the seriousness with which he
approaches the political game, like a
modern day Chanakya. Shah, who has
never lost an election, is quite literally
the man for all seasons, who has risen
through the ranks of the party and
has been at the epicentre of changes
in the Indian political and social strata
as well. His outstanding contribution
in bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir
through removal of Article 370, CAA
and Ram Mandir movement, under
close supervision of his mentor Nar-
endra Modi, has created the image of
new Sardar Patel for a towering Amit
Shah. Achievements galore for Shah
who, with his low demeanour, toils
hard to ensure success for the party
and for the aspirations of 138 crore In-
dians who all wish him to be hale and
hearty for decades to come. Here’s
wishing the BJP’s master strategist, a
very happy birthday!

Jaipur: The Mina ver-

that rocked Rajasthan a
fewyearsbackrefusesto
die down.
Even after two years
having passed since the
letter by Rajasthan gov-
ernmenttoUnionTribal
Affairs Ministry, there
hasnotbeenanyreplyor

same from the ministry
whereas Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot has
stressed that there is no
controversy on the mat-
ter in Rajasthan.
Putting Rajasthan’s
stand forward, in 2018
the Rajasthan govern-
ment had sought a clari-
fication from the union
ministry. Now, CM Ge-
hlot will write a letter to
theministryaskingfora
clarification to be re-
leased by the ministry
over the matter.
The issue gained mo-
mentum recently after
the Ministry for Corpo-
rate Affairs issued ad-
vertisement for compa-
ny prosecutor wherein
Mina candidates have
been included as Sched-
uled Tribe and given
benefit of reservation,
while those whose sur-
name is Meena, have not
been given the benefit.
It was after this that
Gehlot took to twitter on

Udaipur: Youth Con-
gress took out a protest
march on Wednesday in
Udaipur against the
farm laws enacted by
the centre. Sitting on
more than 50 tractors,
the Youth Congress
members reached the
district collectorate and
held a demonstration.
Addressing the dhar-
na, Youth Congress na-
tional president Srini-
vas BV termed Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi as anti-farmer
and said the laws which
have been enacted by
the central government
are not in the interest
of the farmers. He said
that the Punjab govern-
ment has decided to
bring bills against the
law, which is a welcom-
ing move and will be fol-
lowed by the state gov-
ernments in Rajasthan
and Chhattisgarh.
The youth Congress
leader said that the agi-
tation against the laws
will be intensified in
the country in the com-
ing days.

BURNING ISSUE
BJP in catch 22 situation over nomination gaffePartyleadershavedecidedtosupportindependentcandidatesinthesewardssoastomitigatethevictorychancesoftheCongcandidates
Aishwary Pradhan
Jaipur: The BJP is in a
quandary as nomina-
tions of three-party
candidates for the
Jaipur municipal elec-
tions have been rejected
and in one ward two
party nominees are con-
testing.
The nominations of
Poonam Kanwar from
ward 45, Mahendra Ya-
dav from ward 58, Rag-
hunath Naredi from
Ward 134 were rejected
due to technical rea-
sons. Further, the party
candidates could not
file nominations on
time in ward 6 and 7.
After discussions, the
party leaders have de-
cided to support the in-
dependentcandidatesin
these wards so as to
mitigate the victory
chances of the Congress
candidates. “The party
will support independ-
ent candidates who
share the BJP’s ideolo-
gy,” said a senior leader.
The situation is more
confusing in JMC Herit-
age’s ward 74 where the
party had given a ticket
to Munni Devi but at the
last moment the par-
ty replaced her with Ku-
sum Yadav but before
that Munni Devi had al-
ready filed her nomina-
tion. The symbol sub-
mitted by Yadav was not
accepted as she reached
after the 3 pm deadline
of nomination on the
last day of nomination.
Devi had accused for-
merBJPMLAMohanlal
Gupta of getting her
name dropped from the
candidate’s list. Now,
Gupta faces a dilemma
of sorts whether to sup-
port the candidate con-
testing on the party
symbol – Munni Devi –
or Kusum Yadav who is
not contesting on the
party symbol but was
given a ticket at the last
moment. The leaders
are not discussing to
persuade Munni Devi to
withdraw her nomina-
tion so that way if paved
for Yadav.
“I am a loyal party
worker and will not re-
bel. But Yadav will not
win the election,”
Devi had said after fil-
ing nomination.
Congress and BJP distributed poll campaign material to the candidates on Wednesday.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: In a run-up to
the upcoming munici-
pal corporations, the
leading parties Con-
gress and BJP started
distributing poll cam-
paign material and in-
augurating offices of
the candidates on
Wednesday. The elec-
tions are scheduled in
six municipal corpora-
tions of Jaipur, Jodh-
pur, and Kota on Octo-
ber 29 and November 1.
Pradesh Congress
Committee chief Go-
vind Singh Dotasra re-
leased on Wednes-
day the promotional
material that con-
tained masks printed
with Congress sym-
bol, stickers, badg-
es, and booklets associ-
ated with the state gov-
ernment’s achieve-
ments.
The political leaders
said it was for the first
time that the publicity
material was distributed
in the civic elections by
the Pradesh Congress
Committee as earlier the
candidates used to ar-
range material of their
own.Congresshaslinked
its campaign with Cov-
id-19 awareness.
Chief minister
Ashok Gehlot and Do-
tasra have appealed
to the people to vote
for Congress through
the material.
Congress has created
an aggressive strategy
for campaigning that
would be monitored
through a control room
set up at the PCC head-
quarters.
The BJP also em-
barked on the poll band-
wagon as state presi-
dent Satish Poonia in-
augurated the offices of
various candidates
in his Amber constitu-
ency and Jaipur city.
Poonia was accompa-
nied by Jaipur city MP
Ramcharan Bohra,
Jaipur city president
Raghav Sharma, for-
mer MLA Surendra Pa-
reek, former Jaipur city
president Sunil Kotha-
ri, and other lead-
ers and workers.
“The Congress gov-
ernment is sleep-
ing over the issues of de-
velopment works that
have stuck up due to in-
ner bickering in Con-
gress government. Due
to these common people,
youth, farmers are
all suffering. The people
will give answers in the
civic elections,” he said.

Jodhpur: The BJP in
Jodhpur stepped up its
campaign and efforts to
win the elections for
municipal corpora-
tions. Union Jal Shakti
minister Gajendra Sin-
gh Shekhawat held dis-
cussions about the nom-
inations and election
preparations with key
BJP officials and mem-
bers of the Election
Steering Committee.
In a meeting held in
the presence of state
general secretary
Bhajan Lal Sharma,
who specially came
from Jaipur, district
president Devendra
Joshi, former Mayor
Ghanshyam Ojha and
state vice president
Prasanna Mehta, the
leaders discussed the
status of BJP candi-
dates in the wards of
North and South mu-
nicipal corporations.
As per the instruc-
tionsof DevendraJoshi,
the election office for
JMC South was set up
in the MP Seva Kendra
in Shastri Nagar while

fice for JMC North was
set up near BSNL Of-
fice. The meeting of the
election committee of
JMC North was held in
the BJP’s north office in
the presence of BJP
state vice-president
Prasanna Mehta.
The leaders urged
the workers at the
ward level to connect
voters with BJP candi-
dates. Sharma said
that the Rajasthan gov-
ernment had failed on
every front and there
could not be a better
opportunity to corner
the Chief Minister at
his home turf.

Bikaner: Former min-
ister and Rajput stal-
wart of Bikaner, Devi
Singh Bhati, held a
press conference on
Wednesday and target-
ed the law & order situ-
ation in the district.
Bhati expressed his
concern about the con-
stant rise in the graph
of the crime in the city.
He was particularly
pained at the rising ten-
dency of betting in Bi-
kaner. The veteran lead-
er stressed that the soci-
ety needs to be alert on
its own as the working
of the city police was
under the spotlight.
He said that the crim-
inals are threatening
the police officers and
the police appears to be
helpless. He said he
would try to focus on
the security system
through the residential
societies of the city.
When asked about his
joining BJP or Con-
gress, Bhati sarcastical-
ly said in this era the
political parties are wor-
ried about their own
well-being rather than
the people in general.
First India Bureau
Jaipur: The Cong par-
ty has allocated 50 per-
cent tickets to fe-
male candidates in the
Civil Lines assembly
constituency. The party
has fielded women can-
didates in 12 out of 24
wards of the area, said
transport minister and
area MLA Pratap Singh
Khachariyawas on
Wednesday.
Khachariyawas said
there was a provision of
33 percent reservation
for women candidates
but the party had given
a chance to 50 percent
women from his constit-
uency. Women candi-
dates have been given
opportunities even from
the open category
seats. He said the people
would encourage the
women candidates.
On average, the party
has fielded 39 percent of
women candidates for
the elections of Jaipur
municipalcorporations.
Interestingly, this
time the Mayoral posts
of both Jaipur munici-
pal corporation Herit-
age and Greater are
reserved for women
candidates. The may-
ors would be elected
from among the elected
councilors.
On the issue of re-
bels, Khachariyawas
said that the anger of
the workers, who
have not got tick-
ets, was justified and it
was the responsibili-
ty of the party and sen-
ior leaders to honour
those workers also.

Cong’s 22 months vs BJP’s five years’ development
Rajiv Gaur
Jodhpur: The ruling
Congress and the op-
position BJP are bank-
ing on the development
card in the elections
for Jodhpur municipal
corporations. The Con-
gress is enlisting its
development works
carried out during the
last 22 months despite
the Corona crisis. The
BJP, on the other hand,
is highlighting its
achievements during
the five years of its ten-
ure in the JMC.
The Jodhpur mu-
nicipal elections have
become an issue of
prestige for the Con-
gress as it is the home
town of CM Gehlot
and his son Vaibhav
Gehlot is at the fore-
front of the election
strategy. For Union
minister Gajendra
Singh Shekhawat, the
elections are an oppor-
tunity to prove his
mettle and maintain
his winning streak of
the parliamentary
polls.
Campaigning has
intensified in the city
after nominations are
over for 160 wards – 80
each on JMC North
and South.
Congress is also eye-
ing an opportunity to
make up for losses dur-
ing the parliamentary
polls when it lost the
seat to the BJP. Keep-
ing this in mind, Con-
gress leader and RCA
president Vaibhav Ge-
hlot along with minis-
ter in-charge Mahen-
dra Chaudhary and
Congress election su-
pervisor BP Singh
burnt the midnight oil
for three consecutive
days for discussing
tickets in each ward.
“We have chosen the
candidates on the basis
of winnability and
their dedication for the
party. We are sure of
victory on both the cor-
porations,” said Vaib-
hav. He said in the last
about two years, the
Congress government
had done a lot of work
despite the coronavi-
rus crisis and the pub-
lic knew this.
“Now the public is
eager to connect the
dots f of the civic bod-
ies with the state gov-
ernment for rapid de-
velopment,” he said.
Youth Congress lead-
er Lalit Surana said
that the public had
made up their minds to
give a chance to the
party in the civic bod-
ies. BJP leader Naresh
Surana said that the
BJP carried out sever-
al development works
in the city under the
leadership of the then
Mayor Ghanshyam
Ojha and would surely
repeat its victory.

hether we are
heading for a
future of coop-
eration or of
increasing con-
frontation in the Arctic re-
mains to be seen. But it is
already clear that the re-
gion will command far
more attention than it has
in the past.
The main reason is of
course climate change,
which is accelerating the
rate of ice melt and caus-
ing arctic temperatures to
rise twice as fast as the
global average. Owing to
their pace and scale, these
changes have obvious geo-
graphic, economic, and
strategic implications. As
the vast ice sheet that
spans the region has melt-
ed, new fossil-fuel reserves
and shipping routes have
opened up, including the
Northern Sea Route (NSR)
along Russia’s Siberian
coast and the Northwest
Passage through Canada’s
northern archipelago.
However, the same trend
has also fueled the loss of
permafrost, threatening
billions of dollars’ worth
of infrastructure that may
soon be standing in mud
instead of on firm ground.
Moreover, indigenous
communities that have
lived in the Arctic for mil-
lennia are increasingly
voicing concerns about the
growing threat to their live-
lihoods. Nearly half of the
Arctic’s land area is in Rus-
sia, as are around 70% of
the four million people who
live in the region. Most live
in the Kola Peninsula area
near Norway and Finland,
which is also home to Rus-
sia’s Northern Fleet and
most of its sea-based nu-
clear deterrent. But other
parts of the region are no
less important, strategi-
cally and demographically.
Approximately two-thirds
of the inhabitants of Cana-
da’s arctic areas are indig-
enous people, as are the
vast majority of the 56,000
people living on Greenland
(which itself is the size of
a small continent).
This summer, a century-
old sailing ship, the Sedov,
traversed the NSR without
seeing any ice at all. Such
journeys still are possible
only during the warmest
months, whereas transit
throughout the rest of the
year requires special ships,
often escorted by powerful
icebreakers. Nonetheless,
the sea traffic has been
steadily increasing, driven
so far by the large energy
projects that Russia is de-
veloping in Siberia. Chi-
neseandFrenchcompanies
each have a 20% stake in
liquid natural gas extrac-
tion from the Russian-con-
trolled Yamal gas fields,
and South Korean-built
tankers are shipping this
LNG to Europe – and soon
will be supplying East Asia.
Needless to say, many more
projects are in the works.
Since 1996, the eight arc-
tic countries – Russia, Nor-
way, Finland, Sweden, Den-
mark (Greenland), Iceland,
Canada, and the United
States – have cooperated
through the Arctic Coun-
cil, mostly to address envi-
ronmental issues. But now
that the Arctic is becoming
an increasingly important
global theater, other coun-
tries are taking an interest.
In 2013, China, India, Sin-
gapore, South Korea, and
Japan were granted observ-
er status within the Coun-
cil, in recognition of their
scientific research commit-
ments and interest in fu-
ture shipping opportuni-
ties. The potential for trade
could be massive: the arctic
sea route from Yokohama,
Japan, to Hamburg, Ger-
many, is 40% shorter than
the current one that runs
through the Suez Canal.

IN-DEPTH
BONUS FOR GOVT. STAFF,
FILLIP FOR ECONOMY
he Central government has opened its
purse strings for 30.67 lakh of its em-
ployees. To bring smiles on their faces it
has announced the payment of bonus to
them. The government has decided to
disburse Rs 3,737 crore in bonus to its employees
expecting them to go on a spending spree during
the festival season and boost consumer demand.
The amount includes productivity linked and non-
productivity linked bonus and will be disbursed in
a week’s time, ahead of Dussehra and Diwali fes-
tivals. The employees form a part of the great In-
dian middle class and through bonus distribution,
the government expects them to do the festival
shopping with precautions but also after putting
the Covid blues behind them.
Consumer demand is an important market senti-
mentforpushingthewheelsof theeconomy.During
months’longlockdownsmarketsremainedshutand
consumers were forced to remain indoors for fear
of the pandemic. Consumer demand nosedived and
with it, production too came to a halt. The vicious
cyclehittheeconomy hard withtheGrossDomestic
Product falling by a record 23 percent. The gradual
lifting of lockdowns marginally improved the situ-
ationbuttheturnaroundhas not beengoodenough.
Thegovernmentwouldliketheemployeestoplough
their bonus earnings back into the economy while
hoping that the demand boost will get reflected
across all sectors, including real estate.
Economists had been urging the government to
pump in more liquidity into the system for an
early and sustained economic revival. After loans
to MSMEs and street vendors, employees’ bonus is
a step in that direction.
T
020 is the year of Corona. The
pandemic has spread across
the globe and its fear psychosis
has dwarfed all other medical
problems, at present. Mostly,
the Corona fatalities are higher
in patients with some other co-
morbidity. Yet other ailments
are relegated in priority, on the
fear of Corona. Corona and
Cancer, which appear to be
deadly twins, with great simi-
larities need a special mention.
Both have larger than life im-
age and draw a larger fear fac-
tor than their actual potential.
Our generation is witnessing
the onslaught of these two em-
perors of maladies. I am God’s
selected one to try out both and
conquer them. My personal ex-
periences bring out some un-
canny similarities between
these two maladies.
BREAKING NEWS
Arrival of Cancer and Corona
both make breaking news in
life. Both create an impression
of near fatality in the minds, at
the very first diagnosis. It’s
taken as the beginning of the
end. The breaking news of my
first cancer diagnosis was dis-
closed to me by my oncologist,
Brig A K Dhar in 2008. As I
walked out of his office, the
world looked different. Driving
back home, the echo of ‘I have
cancer’ got louder and louder.
Allotherproblemsof lifewhich
were major concerns till an
hour ago now appeared too
mundane. Cancer had dwarfed
them all. Similarly, in 2020 I
found that corona is also re-
ceived with some shock and
awe as cancer. The fear of the
unknown, lack of confirmed
medication, and nonavailabili-
ty of vaccines to date have add-
ed to the aura of this disease.
SOCIAL DISTANCING
AND ISOLATION
Social distancing and isolation
are again common threads be-
tween Corona and Cancer. In
both cases, the patient is treat-
ed with such a stigma that peo-
ple avoid him in the name of
social distancing. These are
testing times for patients and
families. Initially, Corona pa-
tients were also dumped by so-
ciety as ‘untouchables’. The
isolation during prolonged
chemotherapy seasons is simi-
lar to the lockdown experienc-
es of Corona. Both the diseases
and more so Corona has torn
the fragile social fabric and un-
fortunately, it’s going to be the
new norm.
DON’T DIE BEFORE
THE DEATH COMES
Life and death are two certain
events that God has kept with
him. Since it’s not in our hands,
why should we worry about it?
The moment patient is diag-
nosed with Cancer or Corona,
the whole family goes into
mourning and the patient
starts counting backward.
Let’s not live in the fear of
death and live life king size till
the destined date of meeting
with death. I am fully in agree-
ment to be careful and take all
precautions to check the
spread, but my request to all
humans is not rpt NOT to stop
living. “Let’s not die before
death comes.”
POSITIVITY HELPS
Let’s all get inspiration from
World cycling champion, Lance
Armstrong who survived stage
4 cancer with only 03% chances
of survival and became world
champion again Similarly, my
chances of survival were only
20%, yet I was not so scared as
much as I find general public,
who have not yet been contact-
ed by the COVID 19 disease hav-
ing a whopping 98% survival
rate. Positivity always helps in
the recovery of cancer and Co-
rona alike. After all, winning
and losing is all in the minds.
If you feel you will be cured!
You certainly will be!!
TREATING CANCER
IN CORONA TIMES
The world was taken by sur-
prise when it was hit by the
corona monster. Not knowing
how to tackle it, the countries
went into lockdown hurriedly.
Most of the hospitals also shut
themselves, fearing the COV-
ID19 spread and delayed treat-
ment of routine patients. Slow-
ly after six months, it has now
dawned on everyone that coro-
na is going to stay for long. De-
lays in cancer diagnosis and
treatment due to corona lock-
downs may turn out to be fatal.
Cancer hospitals and caregiv-
ers have to find ways and
means to treat cancer patients
in Corona times. Neglecting
one for the sake of another may
prove to be fatal for the same
person, whom you are trying to
save from one disease.
I am certain humanity will
survive but corona should not
adversely affect our lives. I am
more worried about those who
will survive the Corona but
succumb to other diseases like
cancer because diagnosis and
treatment were delayed due to
Corona’s panic. Methodologies
have to be devised for the safety
of caregivers and fellow pa-
tients while continuing the
functioning of hospitals. The
medical fraternity is waking
up to this new reality and
Let’s all join hands to fight it
together, because…. it’s SAB-
KI LADAI.

CENTRE, STATE FACEOFF
OVER FARM BILLS
ith Punjab Assembly clearing the state’s
own farm laws, overriding the Central
laws promulgated last month, a Centre
versus state scenario is in the making.
The row was started by the Centre which
passed three Bills on agriculture marketing re-
forms despite agriculture being a state subject. The
Central laws were seen as an assault on the federal
structure. The state list in the seventh schedule of
the Constitution of India mentions agriculture as
a state subject. Centre’s move also drew flak for its
alleged intent of leaving farmers at the mercy of
corporate houses. The Central legislation, there-
fore, did not go down well with farmers in Punjab
who are up in arms. Sensing the mood of agricul-
turists, the Amarinder Singh government passed
its own laws barring the sale and purchase of
wheat and paddy below the MSP. Legislators of all
the political parties, barring the BJP’s two mem-
bers, voted in favour of the state’s four legislations.
The passing of four amendment bills on Tues-
day has set the stage for a confrontation between
the Centre and Punjab. The bills have to clear the
hurdle of Presidential assent. If the President does
not give his nod to the Bills passed unanimously
by the House, the state government will take the
legal recourse and the issue will get entangled in
court battles for some years. Farmers may not be
the gainers in the Centre-state showdown but the
BJP will certainly end up earning antipathy in
Punjab. To avoid losing whatever goodwill it has,
the Centre has agreed to review the bills and take
suitable action.

Kolkata: One of West
Bengal’s most wanted
men, Darjeeling’s
Gorkha Janmukti Mor-
cha (GJM) leader Bimal
Gurung surfaced in
Kolkata on Wednesday
evening three years af-
ter he went under-
ground and swore to
help chief minister
Mamata Banerjee win
the assembly polls due
in another six months.
Charged by the state
government under anti-
terror law for violence
in the Darjeelng hills,
Gurung had been in
hiding since 2017.
“I am no longer an
ally of the Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP). The
Central government, be
it the Prime Minister or
the Union home minis-
ter, did not keep the
commitment made to
us. I was in the National
Democratic Alliance
(NDA) for our cause but
they did nothing.
Mamata Banerjee, on
the other hand, does
what she says. In 2021
we will go all out to help
her win the seats in the
Darjeeling hill region,”
Gurung told the media
at a hurriedly called
press conference at a
hotel in central Kolka-
ta. Gurung’s followers
have supported the BJP
in back to back Lok Sab-
ha elections. The BJP
won the Darjeeling Lok
Sabha seat thrice since
2009 by forging an alli-
ance with the GJM. In
2019, the BJP had an al-
liance with the GJM’s
Gurung faction, the
Gorkha National Lib-
eration Front (GNLF)
and other smaller hill
parties. BJP’s Raju Bi-
sta won the seat.
“I proudly say that to-
dayIwanttobreakaway
from the NDA and in the
coming assembly polls
we want to have an alli-
ance with Mamata Ba-
nerjee and give a reply
to the BJP. In politics,
there are no foes and
friends. Our demand is
Gorkhaland and a per-
manent political solu-
tion, said Gurung.

UP farmers forced to sell crops at
less than MSP even now: PriyankaNew Delhi: In her lat-
est swipe at the Central
government over the
recently enacted farm
laws, Congress leader
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra
on Wednesday said that
farmers across UP are
forced to sell their pad-
dy crops at prices less
than the Minimum Sup-
port Price (MSP).
The Congress leader,
taking to Twitter, ac-
cused, “The BJP gov-
ernment is holding a
government Khat Sam-
melan on the bills,
which are against the
interest of the farmers,
but is not listening to
the pain of the farmers.
In almost all places in
UP, farmers are forced
to sell their paddy at Rs
1,000 to 1,100 per quintal
Rs 800 less than the Rs
1,868 per quintal MSP.”
Inthefollowingtweet,
she said, “This is when
the MSP is guaranteed.
Imagine what will hap-
pen when the MSP guar-
antee is removed.”
This comes amid the
protests against the re-
cently enacted farm
laws by opposition par-
ties and farmers’ organ-
isations at several plac-
es across the country.
The opposition has al-
leged that the new farm
laws do not guarantee
MSP for the farmers.
The BJP, on the other
hand, has said that it is
committed to continu-
ing the MSP.
Notably, PM Naren-
dra Modi had last week
termed the recent agri-
culture sector reforms
“A very important step
in improving the agri-
culture sector of the
country and increasing
income of farmers” and
assured that Minimum

would continue. —ANI

Owing to the COV-
ID-19 pandemic, can-
didates have taken to
reaching out to the
voters through differ-
ent mediums such as
door-to-door cam-
paigns, social media,
among others.
The bypoll cam-
paign planned by
the opposition par-
ty is according to
the taluka seat.
Meetings at the mu-
nicipal level will be
addressed by the
party for all the
eight constituen-
cies up for by-elec-
tions on October
31.
Notably, it is for
the first time that the
party has appointed
senior leaders as in-
charges for each seat.
Several meetings
will be conducted by
senior party leaders
that will determine
the issues each can-
didate will base their

Work in Rajasthan
Administrative
Tribunal (RAT) is being
carried out at a great
pace. After the work
completely stopped
from March to July, now
regular court is being
organised since August
and in the past two-and-
a-half months, around
1,000 cases have been
disposed off and the
pendency has reduced
from 8,000 to 7,000.
A 1985 batch IAS and
currently RAT Chair-
man Ravi Shankar Sriv-
astava, who is well
known for his grasp on
law and legal matters,
has been holding rou-
tine hearings on his
bench. He has repre-
sented himself in long
legal battles in High
Court and CAT and
therefore he knows and
understands the dis-
putes for which civil
servants approach
courts. In service mat-
ters, RAT is akin to High
Court and therefore
Srivastava is trying
hard to take the system
and working of RAT to
the level of HC and is
taking special interest
in the tribunal’s work.
Now a days, merely
dates are no being given
on cases, rather an at-
tempt is being made to
dispose them. System
has now been rational-
ized in grant of arbi-
trary stay. Now, stay is
granted only for limited
period of 2 or 4 weeks so
practice of misuse of
stay by not serving the
respondents has disap-
peared. Now, govern-
ment is to be made a
necessary party and not
just the head of the de-
partment.
All decisions and
cause list is to be up-
loaded daily while the
system of listing as fol-
lowedintheHighCourt,
is being followed in
RAT. The Officer In-
charge (OIC) and Advo-
cates representing the
government are being
asked to refrain from
the habit of taking a fu-
ture date for hearing.
Srivastava is of clear
thought that applicants
should get justice soon
in cases related to pen-
sion, gratuity and pro-
motion. Notably, most
of the cases pertain to
lower category of em-
ployee from police, edu-
cation, revenue and ru-
ral development depart-
ments and these cause
the biggest troubles.
Although a minimum
strength of 1 chairman
and 2 members are re-
quired for RAT, howev-
er, since the beginning 1
chairman and 4 mem-
bers have been posted
here. As of now, 2 posts
of members is lying va-
cant wherein 1 member
each from judiciary and
administration is to be
appointed. Srivastava
wants that not only va-
cant posts be filled soon
but even number of
members be increased
from 4 to 6 so that pen-
dency from 2005 can be
ended. As of now Jas-
saram (Administrative)
& Shubha Mehta (Judi-
cial) are RAT members.
POWER NOT FOR
PUBLIC, BUT FOR
SELF!
They say a legislator has
immense power to bring
about a revolutionary change
in their constituency.
But this also means
that they have this
‘revolutionary’ power to
bring about a change to their
own lives as well! Take for
example this legislator from
Bharatpur division who
literally has his hands
in all the ‘activities’ in
the district. Such is the
situation that illegal sand mining
is occuring under the MLA’s
‘blessings’. Several individuals
close to the MLA are involved in
this game and there have been
times when the MLA himself, in
his scorpio car, is seen taking
stock of the ‘business’ right from
the site. Even he has a huge
hand in the tenders of Nagar
Parishad and an extremely close
contractor of the legislator is
getting almost all the tenders.
Moreover, a government PTI
is handling all these ‘hidden’
activities for the MLA and such is
the infamy of this group that even
district level officials are troubled
with them. Now it remains to be
seen if the ‘watch dogs’ of the
state government take stock of
stiuation of these developments
in the ‘jungle district’.

REBELS CHANGING
COLORS?
The rebellion that rocked
Rajasthan politics recently may
be over and the rebel camp may
have come back to the party fold,
but the ‘lashback’ of the rebellion
is being now felt by the rebels.
For example, two honorable MLAs
from Tonk district are feeling
the heat since neither officials
nor employees are paying any
attention to the MLAs’ demands.
Such is their situation that they
are not able to get transfers done
of even constables let alone CI
and other officials. Facing flak,
one MLA has even decided to
change sides and is trying to
woo the senior polity in power
to make his transition ‘smooth’.
Interestingly, the MLA has been
part of the state police holding
important positions on senior
level as well. —Ziyauddin

Ahmedabad: The Cov-
id-19 crisis has put a
damper on the Navratri
festivities, but Diwali
may bring a glimmer of
hope with demand for
property in Gujarat’s
top city Ahmedabad
showing a remarkable
recovery.
The latest report of
the July-September
quarter by leading prop-
erty tracker, Magic-
bricks, says property
searches during this
period, as compared to
the previous 3 months,
grew by an astronomi-
cal144%inAhmedabad.
The agency’s PropIn-
dex report adds that the
average prices in the
city moved up by 0.6%
driven by demand in the
affordable localities. In
an evidence of how peo-
ple’s finances have been
hit, the report reveals
that the “2 BHK configu-
ration and price below
Rs 4,000 per sqft domi-
nated the property
search criterion.”
Simultaneously, the 3
BHK configurations
had a share of 36% in
the demand pie, which
increased from 31%
during the April-June
quarter. But even in
this, a greater traction
has been observed in
the affordable housing.
“It is interesting to
note that while lower
priced properties wit-
nessed price increase,
properties costlier than
Rs 5,000 per sq ft ob-
served a price decline,”
the report states.
Both, demand and
supply had maximum
concentration towards
northern and western
areas, especially across
areas such as Chand-
kheda, Vaishnodevi,
Gota, SG Highway, Sat-
ellite, South Bopal and
Thaltej, given that they
are connected via SG
Highway and Sardar Pa-
tel Ring Road.
Sudhir Pai, CEO,
Magicbricks, said, “To-
day, the shift is towards
affordability as home
buyers have reduced
their budget but they
haven’t changed their
preference in terms of
BHK or size.”
He claims the Gujarat
Government’s nod to
multi-storey buildings
(70 or more floors) and
redevelopment of old
urban buildings are ex-
pected to help, besides
the government’s new
affordable rental hous-
ing policy.

Jaipur: With the ever
changing scenario of
real estate and infra-
structure landscape and
in view of the require-
ments and demands of
the coming time, multi-
storeyed buildings to be
constructed by Ra-
jasthan Housing Board
(RHB) in future will be
built on the green build-
ingconcept.Elaborating
on the same, RHB Com-

on Wednesday, a presen-
tation was made by the
Chairman of CII-IGBC
(Indian Green Building
Council) Jamini Oberoi,
in connection with the
Green Building Concept
in the Board Room at Di-
visional Headquarters.
He explained the bene-
fits of green building,
that building the con-
cept will help prevent
climate change and con-
sumers will get afforda-
ble housing at a lower
cost. Along with this,
due to energy and water
conservation, the ex-
penditure on water and
electricity will also be
reduced in future. After
thepresentation,Oberoi
presented a copy of the
Green Building Manual
to the Commissioner.
Rajasthan is counted
amongtheleadingstates
in the country where ad-
ditional FAR (BAR) is
given to encourage
green building. There is
a provision to give addi-
tional FAR to encourage
green building in the
new building bylaws
created by the state gov-
ernment. In addition,
among the new building
bylaws that are being
formed, buildings with
a built up area of more
than 20 thousand square
feet are being required
to be built on the green
building concept.

Jaipur: Wednesday
marked hundred days
when a major shift was
observed in politics of
Rajasthan and specially
of the Congress party,
for it was a hundred
days back when Sachin
Pilot was removed from
the position of PCC
Chief and Govind Sin-
gh Dotasra was appoint-
ed to the coveted posi-
tion. Dotasra’s appoint-
ment came as a surprise
to all and though over
three months have
passed since he took
over the reins of the
PCC, little is known
still about his team.
Removal of PCC
Chief was a shocker
to everyone and it
was the first of its
kind development in
the state. The AICC,
then had to take major
steps to save the gov-
ernment and therefore,
Dotasra was made the
PCC Chief and in these
past 100 days, Dotasra
has been vocal on sev-
eral issues but more
importantly on farmer
related issues viz the
farm bills by the cen-
tral government.
It was not merely his
‘pro-farmer Jat leader’
image that worked for
him rather the fact that
he was extremely de-
voted to the party, with
experience of running
the organization and
never being part pf any
group, that made him
the favourable choice
for the party’s state
chief. Dotasra has also
been able to strike a
chord with new state
incharge Ajay Maken
with whom he toured
eleven districts to
take feedback from
ground level party
workers. The PCC
Chief, in consultation
with CM Ashok Ge-
hlot and state in-
charge Ajay Maken,
will breathe fresh air
into the organization.

hen Meena Kumari,
decadent and glam-
orous, sang this for
a stone faced Re-
hman, none of us
could understand
why did he leave?
Any man would have stayed
for the sake of the beautiful,
gorgeous and sexy ‘Chhoti
Bahu’. Sahib Bibi aur Ghu-
lam was about the Bibi- The
Sahib- Rehman and the Ghu-
lam -Guru Dutt were, for me,
just supportive roles.
It was a movie beyond it’s
time. It was a movie of the
fight of a woman for her
rightful place as a wife, as a
woman. She is punished for
breaching the invisible Lak-
shman Rekha which
binds us all. The
two women in
SBG are a
contrast
to each
other,
each
one
lovable in her own way. But
I fell in love with the despair
of Chhoti Bahu rather than
the Chirpiness sarcasm of
Waheeda Rehman. Waheeda
was complicated, educated
and independent she still
tows the line in marriage
while the uneducated Chho-
ti Bahu throws away the
norms.
The men, Rehman and
Sapru, who waste time and
money on needless pursuits,
the debauchery in the back-
drop of the rise of Brahmo
Samaj – all set under the
towering haveli- it’s crum-
bling walls a metaphor for
the crumbling feudal system
and hollow male egos! The
haunting chilling cinema-
tography remains etched on
the mind as do the song pic-
turizations and brilliant per-
formances.
Meena Kumari is valiant,
courageous and beautiful as
she attempts to become
the woman she thinks her
husband will desire; some-
one who is comfortable with
her sexuality, can drink and
sing to woo him… be more to
him than a commodity. She
fails though she is all that
and more but he wants a ta-
waif to satisfy him, a wife’s
job is to uphold the honour
of the family and provide a
male heir. Piya aiso jiya mein
samay gaye re… the sensual
song where Meena Kumari
dresses up to woo Rehman
putting on the magical sin-
door brought by the naïve
Guru Dutt to keep her hus-
band at her side is heart
stoppingly beautiful in the
sheer seductive physical
beauty of Meena Kumari
with Geeta Dutt’s voice.
Each song tugs at the heart-
strings, Geeta gave more
than just a voice- she echoed
the despair and love of Mee-
na Kumari on screen… Meri
baat rahi mere man
mein to Koi door se awaaz
de… each song is beautiful!
Chhoti Bahu would just be
an alcoholic maudlin wife
rejected by her amorous
husband but Meena Ku-
mari’s performance, her
submergence into the
character made it an ex-
ploration of sexuality of
womanhood, despair of
love, the pain of rejec-
tion... the plea for ac-
ceptance- we all bond
because we all have
a Chhoti Bahu re-
siding somewhere
deep within us!

For you mother is your mother is

the world. You give hundred percent
attention to your health which is a
very good thing.
harad-Ritu’ or au-
tumn is upon us!
Its that time of
year when we get
to enjoy clear
skies, fruit laden
trees, festive fer-
vor and a cosmic celebra-
tion of life. However, this
splendor is often disrupted
by an imbalance of energy
causing seasonal allergies,
drying of hair and skin,
joint pain, slow digestion
and a state of mental un-
rest; this disturbance is
caused by ‘Vata’ aggrava-
tion in the body.
Ayurveda has 3 energy
principles Vata (ether +
air), Pitta (air + fire) and
Kapha (water + earth). An
imbalance in these ener-
gies causes a lack of prop-
er cellular function lead-
ing to diseases and ail-
ments. Autumn is the sea-
son of Vata – an energy
that is highly mobile and
active. When balanced it
brings the blessing of
alertness, flexibility and
creativity. When imbal-
anced Vata brings the
curse of stress, anxiety,
mental fatigue and a physi-
cal feeling of being run
down and fragile. Sound
familiar?
Ayurveda suggests ‘Din-
charya’ and ‘Ritucharya’
(daily and seasonal rou-
tines) to balance all three
energy principles. Tradi-
tional ayurvedic routines
are not only time consum-
ing but also unsustainable
in modern living. So in-
stead of over-hauling your
entire lifestyle, choose the
most effective and easy
modifications that you are
most likely to follow con-
sistently. Consistency is
key as it provides your
body rhythm at a cellular
level that helps it ease into
relaxation and normalcy.
1
Routine, the most po-
tent Vata balancing
medicine - Vata energy
loves consistency and pre-
dictability however, this in
no way means you need to
chalk out every moment of
your day, but to simply eat
three regular meals at the
same time and aiming to
get seven hours of restora-
tive sleep by hitting the
sack as close to 10pm as
possible.
Tip – The deepest and most
regenerative sleep occurs
between 10pm and 2am.
2
TLC is truly your
BFF. The Ayurvedic
practice of ‘Abhyan-
ga’ or self-massage with
warm sesame oil has a
calming, rejuvenating and
stabilizing effect. Ideally
practiced in the morning
before bathing but can also
be done at an alternate
time that suits your sched-
ule. If you can’t oil your
entire body make sure you
massage your ears, hands
and the soles of your feet
before going to bed.
Tip – Long and firm strokes
help create movement in the
lymphatic system that drain
out toxins.
3
Energy Yin and Yang.
The overactive Vata
energy must be coun-
tered with low impact ac-
tivities like Pranayama
specifically ‘Nadi Shodha-
na’ bringing great calm-
ness and concentration.
Vata pacifying yoga poses,
cycling, tai chi, chi gong
and swimming are all great
rhythmic exercises with
fluid movements.
Tip – Kapha predominant
hours are the best time to
exercise (6am-10am and 6pm
to 10pm)
4
When it comes to food
– Indulge! Vata is
cool, dry, rough and
light so it must be balanced
by food that is warm, oily
and nourishing. Is it just a
coincidence that Vata is ag-
gravated at a time when
every Indian household is
brimming with fresh, rich,
warm and nourishing
Navratri food? Probably
not. This is the time you
need to eat dry fruits, nuts,
yoghurt, buttermilk, tu-
bers, millets and ghee. Pro-
cessed and frozen foods,
leftovers and raw salads
are best avoided.
Tip – Including millets in your
diet will provide a wider nutri-
tional profile and improved gut
health.
5
Moments of mindful-
ness. Be mindful of
your wellness jour-
ney by avoiding stimulants
like caffeine, nicotine and
hard liquor. While you eat,
offer your complete atten-
tion to being nourished.
Recognize your attempts to
live a holistic life and be
forgiving of minor set-
backs.
Tip – self-appreciation and
self-inquiry are the foundation
of ayurvedic self-healing.
