Gujarat Election: Congress Pact With PAAS in Jeopardy, Hardik Patel Cancels Rally
The Hardik-led group had struck a deal with the Congress on its quota demand and seat allocation on Sunday, but it soon turned sour as only two members of the Patidar committee found their names in the Congress list of 77 candidates SS News | Ahmedabad
Hardik Patel was on Monday supposed to cement his pact with the Congress but cancelled his rally in Rajkot after a split in the ranks. The two sides have been unable to come at a decision on the seat sharing formula for the Gujarat assembly election next month. The Hardik-led Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) had struck a deal with the Congress on its quota demand and seat allocation on Sunday, but it soon turned sour as only two members of the Patidar committee found their names in the Congress list of 77 candidates. The 24-year-old was not
present in the meeting with Congress. Sources said that talks with the Congress are still on and Hardik may hold a press conference on Tuesday. PAAS had demanded 20 seats. Around 18 other Patel candidates, who are not members of the PAAS, found mention in the list. The two who have been given tickets are Lalit Vasoya from Dhoraji and Amit Thummar from Junagadh seat. Members of the group expressed anger and
started protesting in many parts of the state, claiming that they were not given proper representation. They also vandalized Congress offices in two places and clashed with party workers. The division in the Patidar group, however, became evident when Vasoya filed his nomination papers as a Congress candidate despite PAAS convenor Dinesh Bhambania announcing that none of the leaders would do so.
for all government offices. An official said Dasmunsi’s body would be brought to Kolkata on Monday night and would be cremated with state honours if his family permitted. State education minister Partha Chatterjee
said the state assembly would terminate by noon on Tuesday to allow members to pay last respects to the departed leader. “I feel like I have become fatherless once again. He was my friend, philosopher and guide. In political or personal matters, I used to seek his guidance on almost everything,” said Subrata Mukherjee, the senior-most minister in Mamata Banerjee’s cabinet.
ber 11. Voting, if needed, will be held on December 16 and results will be declared on December 19, the party said. Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who chaired the meeting, is likely to step down from the role and could continue as chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party. “Sonia Gandhi is our leader and mentor. She has always guided the Congress party. Her able leadership
and guidance will always be available. Not only to Rahulji, also to the thousands and thousands of party worker,” Surjewala said. The Indian Express first reported on Sunday that party vice-president Rahul Gandhi is expected to be elevated to the role of president within the next few weeks. Last year, Rahul Gandhi was asked by the CWC to take over as president but he preferred to get formally elected. He has been running the party affairs for quite some time owing to the ill-health of Sonia Gandhi, who is Congress’ longest-serving president.

(DIPAM) Secretary Neeraj Gupta said. The ETF saw bids of nearly Rs. 32,000 crore coming in, with FIIs bidding for onethird of the money. The portion reserved for retail investors was subscribed 1.45 times; retirement funds -- 1.50 times and NIIs and QIBs -- 7 times. With this, the government has raised Rs. 52,500 crore through disinvestment in the current fiscal, including listing of insurance PSUs. Last week the portion reserved for anchor investors was
subscribed six times amounting to Rs. 12,000 crore. ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund managed Bharat-22 ETF’s new fund offer (NFO) had an initial issue size of over Rs. 8,000 crore. As much as 25 per cent of the total issue size, or Rs. 2,000 crore, was reserved for anchor investors who put in bids worth about Rs. 12,000 crore. LIC, Bank of India, SBI Pension Fund, EPFO and HDFC Ergo Insurance are among those who have put in bids.
A pall of gloom set in political circles of West Bengal as news of Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi’s death in Delhi reached Kolkata. Most senior leaders of Congress and Trinamool fondly remembered the days when they began their political career under the stewardship of Dasmunsi, who had been bedridden following a cardiac arrest and paralysis on October 12, 2008. “It is a sad day for all of us. I am deeply saddened by the death of Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi. It is a great loss. May his soul rest in peace. He

2 / Dt. 21-11-2017, Tuesday Editors’ Picks tuesday, 21 november, 2017 The journey of Hardik Patel: How he left cricket to captain quota agitation team
Spending most of his time outside home is not new to Patidar leader Hardik Patel. Through most of his teenage and early 20s, he would not be home for a single meal. But this never worried his parents. They knew that an open ground in the middle of Gujarat’s Viramgam town, some 60km from Ahmedabad, is where he would be. Having failed to fulfil a long-nurtured dream of making it big on the cricket pitch, Hardik, then a fresh college graduate, would spend endless hours coaching younger enthusiasts. Things, however, changed in the summer of 2015 as Hardik plunged along with thousands of his community’s youth into violent protests for quotas in jobs and education — a movement that catapulted him into national spotligSunvilla News overnigSunvilla News and made him a political leader. “Earlier too, Hardik would be out of home for most part of the day. But we were never worried for him. Things have, however, changed drastically over the last two years,” said his father Bharatbhai Patel, who has a business of submersible pumps. A good orator, 24-year-old Hardik was active in student politics during his college days and it didn’t surprise many when he joined the Sardar Patel Group (SPG) — a popular Patidar community organisation — where he was put in charge of social media. Hardik started spending more and more time organising Patidar youth and rising through the ranks. His time away from home jumped from hours to days after he launched the Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) and became the face of the Patidar agitation for OBC status in July 2015. Tens of thousands of Patidar youth took out marches, clashed with police and torched vehicles to press the state and central government to give in to the politically influential community. Hailing from the Kadva Patel community, a sub-caste of Patidars who are mostly farmers and small businessmen, Hardik led the movement from the front and was charged with sedition. Two years later, he is back in Gujarat with the Congress wooing him ahead of assembly polls in December. His strength stems from his apparent clout in the Patidar community, who form 12% of the state’s population and can influence the outcome in 60-odd seats of the 182-member assembly. The community has traditionally voted for the BJP but is disgruntled this time over the denial of quota benefits. Amid controversy over an alleged sex clip this week, Hardik could not find time from a hectic campaign drive to visit home. “His last visit home was on Diwali,” said close aide Dinesh Bambania, who is co-accused in two sedition cases against Hardik. When in January this year Hardik returned to Ahmedabad after spending nine months in Surat jail and six months in exile in Udaipur, he moved out of his Viramgam home to devote more time to public meetings. His lifestyle graduated from a motorbike to a swanky, sponsored chauffeur-driven Toyota Fortuner and iPhone. A brief stay with relatives in Ahmedabad ended when he found a sponsor for a 4BHK flat in the city’s plush Shilaj area, which is located hardly half a kilometre from the residence of former CM Anandiben Patel. Trezure Enclave-I, inspired by European architecture with huge French windows, was promoted as a unique low-rise scheme with a market price of around 1.5 crore. Though the housing society has been ready for possession for quite some time, Hardik and his aides are the only occupants. “The government did not issue building use permission to this housing scheme when they came to know that I have moved in here,” Hardik had told Sunvilla News earlier. Making this his base, the quota crusader has addressed over 325 rallies across Gujarat since January, according to Bambania. “Homemade bhakri (a Gujarati bread) and tea is my favourite breakfast. I miss it a lot and have to eat whatever I get amid campaign,” Hardik had told Sunvilla News.

Hollywood-Bollywood Benafsha Soonawalla: I won’t Malaika Arora to Katrina Kaif: Who wore what at Farah call Varun my boyfriend, Priyank and I are good friends Khan’s Ed Sheeran party Agency | New Delhi
On Saturday, filmmaker Farah Khan threw a star-studded house party for English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, a night before his Mumbai concert. One of the many superstars in attendance was none other than Shah Rukh Khan himself. With a guest list including Bollywood’s who’s who, the glamorous bash was guaranteed to have few standout styles. Reality television judge Malaika Arora, who has been practising party fashion for years, is obviously the girl we all want to look like when it comes to dressing up; but there were a few oth-
er names to add to your Pinterest board from the party- consider the elegant originality of actor Kriti Sanon, and the glitter glamour of actor Bhumi Pednekar. The evening’s fashion ranged from subdued and sophisticated (actor Janhvi Kapoor and Karisma Kapoor) to sheer and sexy (we’re looking at you, Katrina Kaif). We found nine killer party outfit ideas from the most stylish guests at Farah’s Ed Sheeran bash that
you can copy with ease. Malaika Arora is one former VJ who nails party dressing time and time again. Whether it’s a super mini dress (showing off her enviable figure) or a dressed down bralette-pant ensemble like this, jazzed up with an edgy leather biker jacket with all over studs. A woman of sublime sexiness, actor Bhumi Pednekar looked on point in her classic black flared pants worn with high heels.

VJ Benafsha Soonawalla, who has been evicted from the Bigg Boss house, wants to clarify is that she and co-contestant Priyank Sharma are very good friends. According to her, a lot of people have misunderstood their relationship and it’s affecting her now that she’s out of the house. “I am someone who cracks a lot of jokes and does
masti, and doesn’t think before I speak. People who know me are aware of this quality of mine. But I think the way it got conveyed outside isn’t right. Priyank and I are real good friends. I have this dark sense of humour and when I told Priyank to say that he likes me, I was joking because after sometime we both laughed over the fact that I got him tense. I have no intention
of spoiling anyone’s relationship [Priyank and Divya Agarwal]. I even joked about Varun [Sood; her alleged boyfriend] with him,” says Benafsha, adding that she is also a ‘little disappointed’ with her fans for misunderstanding her. Benafsha shares that she is someone who is very sorted and honest. “I stayed away from all the fights and negativity inside the house.

SS News | Surat
Surat mehnat se nahi darta hai (People of Surat don’t shirk hard work). These were the words of Nitin bhai, who owns a fabric shop along the Ring Road in the heart of central Surat. The district is a permanent home to countless packets of silk, synthetic, cotton, viscose, nylon in blue, white, green, red, black with paintings and glitters on them. The smell of cloth thickens the air as one enters a space where hundreds of buyers and sellers inhabit at once. Ask Nitin about the impact of the Goods & Services Tax (GST) on his industry and life and he says Surtis can turn the tide of misery by rowing harder. But this time, they feel let down by the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre. The workers here may be flawlessly skilled in various segments of textile production but haven’t finished
middle-school. He gives the example of Surti artisans like Karan bhai lace wala and Vimal bhai embroidery wala from Varachha (NorthEast Surat); Raseeq bhai from Katargam (North Surat) who applies sequins and lace on clothes and Guddu bhai who is a handiwork artisan. None of them know how to fill out basic forms. “A saree is made after a 17-part process and manufacturers, traders and artists are dependent on each other. Do these people have the time or the money to hire accountants, and can they operate computers and smart phones? The people of Gujarat understand the basics of business but they’re not economic experts. This strange and complicated tax is certainly pressuring us at the moment and will impact the percentage of votes,” says Nitin bhai who has been in the business of synthetic fabrics for the past 16 years.

FOGSI launches ‘Manyata’ - a nationwide movement to address quality of maternal care in India Agency | Mumbai
FOGSI (The Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India) in partnership with MSD for Mothers, MacArthur Foundation and Jhpiego (an affiliate of Johns Hopkins University), today launched Manyata–a nationwide movementurging the need for quality care for mothers during and immediately after childbirthwhen risks of life-threatening complications are the highest. The movement was
flagged off byBollywood actor Shilpa Shettyand PankajaMunde, Minister of Rural Development, Women and Child Welfare, Government of Maharashtra. Nearly 45,000 women die in India every year during childbirth due to reasons entirely preventable. The movement is based on the premise that culturally in India, pregnancies tend to be focused more about babies than about mothers. A mother’s health is critical and equally precious as her child’s health
and her well-being, our collective responsibility. Manyata calls for bringing all stakeholders together and raising awareness about the fact that mothers are as important as their babies. She need tools that empower her to make informed choices about where

The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed another plea to stay the release of the controversial movie Padmavati and initiate criminal prosecution against its director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It made it clear that it wants the Censor Board to come to an independent and considered decision on certifying the movie.

Can this court injunct a statutory board from doing its duty,” Chief Justice Misra asked the petitioner-advocate M.L. Sharma. Referring to the repeated pleas filed before it for stay of the movie even before the CBFC has certified it, he said, “All this happens because people do not read the Cinematograph Act and rules.”
