Gehlot: Govt committed to increase industrial units & jobs in pvt sector

Naresh Sharma

Recently, the important representative meeting of the Sangh has ended in Samalkha, Haryana, and there was a round of intense brainstorming about the functioning of the BJP governments in the meeting. But on the other hand, one or two big leaders of the party in Delhi have complained about the work of Union Ministers and Chief Ministers, claiming that they are constantly being accused of corruption and administrative failure. Two Chief Ministers of the states and more than half a dozen Union Ministers have been suggested to be replaced, which may have been the reason why Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami was summoned to Delhi in the middle of the Assembly Session. Similarly, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, who has almost completed his two terms, came to Delhi and met the top leadership. Some people have said to consider several other options including Subodh Uniyal to replace Dhami and Karnal MP Sanjay Bhatia to replace Manohar

Lal Khattar. Sources say that Acharya Devvrat, the current Governor of Gujarat, is also being floated as an alternative to Manohar Lal. He has been associated with the Sangh for a long time and is one of the senior leaders of the Arya Samaj in Haryana. It is believed that there may be a change of leadership in both these states sometime before March 31. On the other hand, knowledgeable sources have denied the change of leadership in Haryana because Manohar Lal is in the ‘good book’ of the High Command and now the state elections are also round the corner.

At least, he is not accused of corruption. Similarly in Uttarakhand too, no other name is emerging as a strong alternative to Pushkar Singh Dhami. So according to sources, status quo will remain in Haryana and Uttarakhand between these conflicting reports. In addition to this, there are preparations to send about 8 Union Ministers to the BJP organisation and this work can also be done sometime before May 15.

VASUNDHARA RAJE SCINDIA STARTS HER PREPARATION!

Recently, Vasundhara Raje Scindia called an important meeting of her core group. If sources are to be believed, in that meeting it was decided that the process of selecting candidates for all 200 assembly seats of Rajasthan should start from now on. First of all, a list of strong contenders should be prepared seatwise and on this 5-7 names may be considered on a seat. After this, a ‘ground survey’ should be conducted for each seat and the name of the most suitable candidate should be brought forth.

Then, a final list of candidates for 200 seats should be prepared and sent to Delhi High Command. And after this, the final decision on the list should be taken by the Delhi High Command. On the other hand, the High Command has also kept the Vasundhara factor in full consideration. In this connection, Vasundhara Raje may soon meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP President JP Nadda.

WHAT WAS ‘NETAJI’ THINKING?

The General Secretary (GS) of the BJP has a lot of power. Recently, a woman MP from Madhya Pradesh reached the house of the BJP GS to meet him on some work, however ‘Netaji’ was in a detached mood. He looked at that female MP and said, ‘I have always seen you in Sarees, why don’t you try some modern dresses?” Hearing this, the woman MP became furious and told the General Secretary bluntly that ‘his bad behaviour will be reported to the top leadership.’ Meanwhile, realising that the matter could turn sour for him, the ‘Netaji’ went directly to the Party President JP Nadda and complained to the Party President about the woman MP saying that ‘she was being rude to me, hence I scolded her.’ Interestingly, Netaji also requested Nadda to handle the matter saying, “ Please see that the matter does not reach till ‘top’.”

PRIYANKA WILL GET BIG RESPONSIBILITIES

Priyanka Gandhi may get more important responsibilities in the Congress organisation in days to come. It seems that in Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s new team, Priyanka Gandhi can be retained as General Secretary. Apart from this, she can also be made the election in-charge of an important state like Madhya Pradesh. Along with this, she can also be entrusted with the coordination of Himachal Pradesh. In fact, Kharge wants ‘Priyanka to be made more effective in the organisation by making her the ‘General Secretary’, but Sonia and Rahul fear that this will give the BJP an opportunity to attack them that ‘Congress has merely changed the face of its topmost leader, otherwise, all the important decisions are still being taken by the Gandhi family’.

There has been controversy over Rahul Gandhi’s speech in London, while Rahul met his Party President Mallikarjun Kharge before going to London. Kharge told Rahul that ‘when he returns from London to Delhi after three-four days, then he will send a few leaders, from states where elections are to be held, to meet Rahul.’ However, Rahul’s response stunned Kharge as the Gandhi scion said, “I will come back later. You know that even a good car has to be sent for servicing after 3 months.’’

Jaipur: Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Saturday, said that the state government has implemented many important decisions and programmes to increase investment in the state in the last four years. Investors are being provided facilities with MSME Policy, Rajasthan Investment Promotion Scheme, Rajasthan Industrial Development Policy and One Stop Shop System. The recently introduced RIPS 2022 has been well received by investors. Due to these policies, the state government is continuously getting proposals from international companies. This would further strengthen industrial development in the state.

WHY DID VARUN SAY ‘NO’ TO OXFORD?

Unlike his cousin Rahul Gandhi, BJP leader Varun Gandhi is being a little more careful in projecting the new face of India at international forums. On the one hand, while Rahul Gandhi, on three other occasions, including at the University of Cambridge in London, spoke about the threat to democracy in India, Varun turned down the invitation to the Oxford Union in which he had to debate how successful India is under Modi’s leadership.

This invitation was sent to Varun from the office of Oxford Union President Matthew Dick. Varun first received the invitation through an e-mail, after which Mathew’s assistant Sultan Khokhar contacted him over the phone. At a time, when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is going to London and living there with the idea that democracy in India is under threat, Varun’s refusal to speak against the Oxford Union proposal can be dismissed for many political reasons.

As Varun also said in his reply to the Oxford Union, “I believe that such issues should be raised within the periphery of the country and between the policy makers here. Foreign forums are not the appropriate place for it.”

In fact, Varun reiterated in his private conversation that ‘it is a form of treason to say such negative and misleading things about India on a foreign soil.’’ And this ‘thing’ pleased his party ‘top’ too.

COMPLAINTS ABOUT SEVERAL UNION MINISTERS AND CMs OF BJP! ...AND FINALLY

He was addressing the fourth meeting of the Board of Investment at the CMR on Saturday. The government approved customised packages for 5 projects to attract investment worth Rs 6,994 crore in the State. With the approval of proposals, employment opportunities will be created for 5,415 people.

“The State government is committed to setting up new industrial units and increase employment opportunities in the private sector. The time-bound starting of projects should be ensured by removing all obstacles in the investment,” Gehlot said.

He directed the CS to hold a meeting with departmental officers for a detailed study of proposals received. Along with this, officers were instructed to explore possibilities of setting up new industrial units. Industries Minister Shakuntala Rawat said that the department is organising a meeting on first Thursday of every month to discuss the proposals of investors and to implement them on the ground.

Jaipur: ‘Magician’ Gehlot’s ‘political engineering’ was at forefront in constituting new districts as he took decision without any political discrimination. Gehlot made the district from constituencies of 5 BJP MLAs -Anupgarh, Beawar, Phalodi, Salumbar and Shahpura were made districts. He also gave ‘gift’ to 3 independents who saved the government - Dudu, Gangapur City and Behror. He also made Raghu Sharma, Rajendra Yadav and Sukhram Vishnoi happy while PCC Chief Govind Dotasra’s stature increased by making Sikar, a division. Meanwhile, Suresh Modi’s Neem Ka Thana was also made a district and CM Gehlot shocked Khairthal and Dudu locals by making them a district as no such demands were being raised.
