when quoting some tweets of AAP leaders, BJP’s Kapil Mishra alleged “conspiracy”.
AAP leaders dismissed it as an attempt to “evade re sponsibility and digress at tention from the terrible trag edy”. “Who is Kapil Mishra,” asked AAP leader Naresh Balyan, claiming that Mishra, who was “kicked out by AAP,” was only trying to “remain politically relevant”.
Meanwhile, sample this… The government hospital at Morbi got a makeover ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the facility to meet those injured in Sun day’s suspension bridge col lapse which claimed 141 lives.
Workers were seen clean ing and painting a portion of the 300-bed hospital, which is a ground plus two-storey structure of three wings, ahead of Modi’s visit on Tuesday. Six of those injured in the bridge collapse were undergoing treatment at the hospital, while four to five other injured are being treat ed at a private hospital, a doc tor said. So far, 56 people have been discharged, he added.
Slamming the BJP for this “eventbaazi”, the Congress people have died but the ruling party is making an event out of this tragedy. “Trasadi ka event (event of tragedy),” it tweeted. The Congress claimed that these arrangements are being made for PM Modi’s photo op in the hospital. “They are not ashamed. So many people died, and they are preparing for an event,” it said. Aam Aadmi Party, which is contesting all the 182 Gujarat Assembly seats, posted a video of the hospital being painted. “Morbi civil hospital is being painted overnight so that the poor condition of the building does not get exposed during PM Modi’s photoshoot,” AAP claimed
In India, every incident is, un fortunately, politicised and in case it is a political year… toh phir kya kehna! When all parties should have actually maintained silence and prayed for the departed souls and left politics to seek (or may be ‘sick’ pun intended!) its own level, the parties have sought this as an opportunity to play politics to create a roof-hitting decibel.
If the ruling BJP (on Mon day) cancelled its itinerary, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s programmes in poll-bound Gujarat, follow ing the Morbi bridge tragedy and PM Modi visited Morbi on Tuesday to take stock of the situation and meet the in jured, there were reports that the “newly-renovated bridge was thrown open without a fit ness certificates” which im mediately led to the Opposi tion pointing fingers at the BJP government, accusing it of negligence.
With elections to the Guja rat Assembly expected soon (dates of which may be an nounced any time), PM Modi’s statement following the col lapse of a flyover in Kolkata way back in 2016 also surfaced to haunt the Saffron might.
Meanwhile, the Congress had demanded a judicial probe into the mishap. “This is no time for politics but is critical to fix responsibility in the matter,” Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said.
However, tweeting on the incident, several Opposition leaders wasted no time and played on the Prime Minis ter’s comment then at a rally while blasting the Chief Min ister Mamata Banerjee’s gov ernment in West Bengal after the Vivekananda Road flyo ver collapsed in Kolkata to question if Morbi was an “act of God or an act of fraud”.
“Modi ji, is the Morbi bridge accident an Act of God or Act of Fraud,” Congress
Brazilians have re jected the far right leader Jair Bol sonaro for a sec ond term as Presi dent of Brazil. In a tightly fought and bitter election Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva emerged victorious by a nar row margin. The popular Leftist leader Lula polled 50.9 percent and Bolsonaro got 49.1 percent of votes to claim victory but Bolsonaro is yet to acknowledge defeat. In a re minder of the American pres idential election, Bolsanaro, like Donald Trump, claimed manipulation, refusing to ac cept defeat and his supporters blockaded roads in protest. There’s apprehension of Bol sonaro following Trump in rejecting the results. Bolsona ro’s politician son earlier called it an “electoral fraud”.
leader Digvijaya Singh ques tioned. Y Sathish Reddy of the TRS and Manoj Singh of the Samajwadi Party also re ferred to the time when PM Modi called the flyover col lapse in Kolkata “act of fraud” and not “an act of God.”
“This is not a natural ac cident, it is a man-made trag edy. The BJP government of Gujarat is directly guilty of this heinous crime,” Con gress MP, Randeep Singh Surjewala, said, also attack ing the PM and Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel over the relief package an nounced for the kin.
There was so much political bickering that even inter-par ty showdown was witnessed
Portions of the entry gate have been painted in yellow, while some areas inside the hospital have got a coat of white paint. The Congress tweeted images that showed repair work going on inside the Morbi hospital, to launch a tirade against the BJP. The photos posted by Congress on Twitter showed overnight re pair work going on inside the Morbi hospital, which in cluded a fresh coat of paint, new tiles on the walls, and minor construction work to beautify the hospital ahead of PM Modi’s visit to the fa cility on Tuesday.

VIEWS EXPRESSED BY AUTHOR ARE PERSONALBrazilians have rejected the far right leader Jair Bolsonaro for a second term as President of Brazil. In a tightly fought and bitter election Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva emerged victorious by a narrow margin. The popular Leftist leader Lula polled 50.9 percent and Bolsonaro got 49.1 percent of votes to claim victory but Bolsonaro is yet to acknowledge defeat
Bolsonaro’s leadership came under criticism after his disastrous environmen tal policies which threatened the Amazon rainforest and free speech. Bolsonaro was blamed for causing largescale deforestation to the rain forest. He was also defi ant towards Covid pandemic, another similarity he shared with Trump. In the midst of a campaign urging Brazil ians to get vaccinated, Bol sonaro claimed in a video that the vaccines caused HIV AIDS and asked people to
avoid taking them. His state ments led Facebook and You Tube to remove the contro versial video.
Lula’s victory is stunning as he was imprisoned for cor ruption which prevented him from contesting in 2018. Lula dedicated his victory to the people of Brazil. The rejec tion of far right politics by Brazilians is a continuum of leftist victories in almost all of Latin America with Ar gentina, Mexico, Chile, Co lumbia and Peru having left ist governments.
Astranger filming a video of Virat Kohli’s hotel room in Perth is a definite cause for paranoia not only for the former India captain cur rently representing the country in the T20 World Cup being played in Australia but also for the ICC and the BCCI whose job it is to provide foolproof securi ty to players in view of previous cases of match-fixing. This in trusion in the privacy of a play er, reportedly by an excited fan, has been strongly castigated by Virat and the cricket fraternity.
The hotel has since sacked (“stood down”) the employees who broke into Virat’s room and the hotel has apologized unre servedly to the cricketer who has decided not to pursue the matter.
An angry Kohli said that he was not “okay with this kind of fanaticism and absolute invasion of privacy. Please respect people’s privacy and not treat them as a commodity for entertainment”, Kohli tweeted about the incident.
The traffic from Delhi to Meerut, Bareilly and Moradabad will be smooth and it will further connect to Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve via Ramnagar. This improvement work of 33.724 km length (including flexible pavement) will be completed in a period of 2 years. By connecting Moradabad Bypass Corridor NH-734 i.e. Moradabad-Kashipur highway, the travel time will be significantly reduced.
Himachal has developed due to the government of double engine. Earlier there was no big university, no medical college, no railway facility in Hamirpur parliamentary constituency. I had promised a Central University in Hamirpur and it has been fulfilled with the blessings of Modi ji.

Mangarh: The ‘unique ness’ of understanding and ‘relation’ shared by PM Narendra Modi & CM Ashok Gehlot was evident on Tuesday, when a ‘good chemis try’ between the two, in spite of opposite ideolo gies, was observed by people.
Both kept praising each other’s works pub
licly and a similar sight was seen in Mangarh Dham & the duo kept on chatting. Moreover, sep arate talks between the two leaders also took place behind the stage.
Interestingly, Modi also termed Gehlot as the senior most CM saying, “Gehlot is also the sen ior most Chief Minister among the people sit ting on the stage at this time.”
Modi has praised this tenure of Gehlot many times, specially on Cov id management during CMs’ conference in April, 2020. Then in Sep tember 2021, Gehlot termed Modi as his good friend and said, “Our political ideology may be different, but politics never comes in the way of develop ment.” At first, two duo spoke to each other on

“There should be no conflict between the State & Centre on this issue. It will be declared a national monument, Meena added.”
