UP Deputy Chief Minister Confident Of Walkover, Dares Akhilesh Yadav
Editorial
How does one characterize the budget 2022-23 of the Narendra Modi government presentedby the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1 in Parliament? The budget waspresented when the third wave of the pandemic is not yet over, but certainly the intensity ison decline throughout the country. The distress of the pandemic affected people continuesand all studies so far have indicated that inequality in the Indian society has widened as theincome level of the poor and the middle class has drastically gone down.At political level, the assembly elections are being held in five states in the country betweenFebruary 10 and March 7, the results will be declared on March 10. It is natural that thevoters in these five states have taken into account the impact of the budget on theirlivelihood which is certainly not positive. There is nothing concrete for the people at thevulnerable end of the Indian population. The budget certainly can not be termed populistwhich is generally the trend offering some sops in the election year.Then how is it that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi with his impeccable political instinct ,allowed a budget to be presented which is not going to have any direct impact on themillions of poor people in the five poll bound states. It seems that the Prime Minister and hisadvisers are overconfident in remaining in power and they can plan for the future spanningthe Amrita Kaal of 25 years ignoring the distress of the present. It is like building a swankymulti-storeyed apartment on the base of a ground floor which has many leaks. Our PrimeMinister is looking at the top floor with hope that India is joining the big league.Prime Minister has every right to be futuristic but he could act as a visionary if he would havetaken care of some of the basics including the ways to pep up public consumption in theimmediate future to boost the economy on a short and medium term basis. Suggestionswere given by leading economists for introducing a minimum basic income for the poor andsimultaneously of imposing a sort of inequality tax on the super rich. Instead, theMGNREGA, the pivot of livelihood for rural poor and the public distribution system whichensures food security to the vulnerable, have been treated in a step motherly manner as ifexpansion of programmes for the poor is anti growth. Instead, the corporate taxes have beencut.The Oxfam inequality report on India released a week before the 20222-23 budget hasexposed in a candid manner how the two year pandemic has widened the inequality in theGlobe including India. Specifically for India, the situation is grimmer as the presentGovernment lacks the social security system to protect the poor and the distressed resultingin further deterioration in the livelihood of the poor. Still, the budget has effectively broughtdown the allocation for MGNREGA to only Rs. 73,000 crore in 2022-23 budget which ismuch less than the revised estimate of Rs. 98,000 crore in the current fiscal. But the fact isthat all recent studies have shown how this MGNREGA programme which was the brainchildof the Congress president Sonia Gandhi, has been of big relief to the distressed in the rural areas during the last two years of pandemic. The Modi government knew it but then takingcare of poor is not the priority in Modi’s list.The PDS which is a bulwark against hunger and malnutrition in rural India, has also beengiven lower allocation from the revised allocation of Rs. 2,10,929 crore in 2021-22 toRs.1,45,920 crore in 2022-23.The big hike in the investments for infrastructure is certainlywelcome but the bigger half in India have to maintain their livelihood and their improvementin living conditions will lead to hike in public consumption leading to the economic growth. The Modi Government, is thus aspiring for a new economy of global dimension withouttaking care of the minimum essentials of the livelihood of the vulnerables.In the last eight years, the NDA government led by Narendra Modi pursued the growth paththat has only widened the inequalities and every economic crisis was taken advantage bythe rich to make gains at the cost of the poor and the lower segments of the Indian society.This process intensified in the last two years of pandemic despite continuous governmentannouncements on the so called sops to the distressed by the Modi Government.Starting with the sudden declaration of lock down on - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara March 24, 2020 in the first wave.

Dr Parekh says, “The treatment is called TACE in medical terms which is Trans Arterial Hepatic Chemoombilization. In this treatment chemotherapy is administered directly in the artery of the liver, rather than giving from the vein of the upper limb (hand), which is routinely done IV chemotherapy. Then she was shifted to oral medicines.” But, she had intense side effects of this medicine and thus Dr Parekh gave her option of another medicine. But, this medicine is very expensive and thus not all patients opt for it. She opted for this medicine that targeted liver cancer specifically. When her CT Scan was done recently it was found that tumour had disappeared completely.

First quarter was a washout, people didn’t pay taxes, the second quarter was also not good, third was better and fourth was best. So we don’t anticipate the same growth as much as it happened in the earlier quarters.
A Vote For Congress An “Indirect Vote For BJP”: Arvind Kejriwal Agency News:New Delhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had said in parliament the gap between the “rich India” and “poor India” is widening.
Law Minister Kiren Rijiju today hit out at Rahul Gandhi, claiming that the Congress leader earlier used to behave like ‘Yuvraj’ and now thinks he is the ‘King’ of India. Continuing the attack on the former Congress President for alleging that the BJP government had created two Indias, Mr Rijiju took a dig at Gandhi’s frequent foreign visits.

Pallavi Patel is from the Apna Dal (Kamerawadi) of her mother Krishna Patel but will contest under the Samajwadi party symbol. Sirathu falls in the Phulpur Lok Sabha constituency, from where the father of the Patel sisters, Sonelal Patel, had once won.But now there is uncertainty about the Samajwadi candidate as Pallavi Patel reportedly does not want to contest the election opposite Keshav Prasad Maurya. Mr Maurya says he is a cinch to win the Sirathu seat, even if his Samajwadi rival is its chief Akhilesh Yadav himself.
People live simple life in India, remain with the needy people all the time, think Indian and follow Indian traditions,” the Law Minister said on Twitter. Participating in the discussion in the Lok Sabha over the Motion of Thanks on President’s Address, Mr Gandhi had said the Centre had created two Indias -- one for the rich and other for the poor. He had also said the BJP government’s vision for the country was more of a “king, who uses a stick to rule” and not of “negotiation and conversation”.
Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal today took a swipe at the Congress, saying a vote for it in Goa will mean an “indirect vote” for the BJP, given the trend of Congressmen joining the ruling party. The battle in Goa, therefore, is between the AAP and the BJP, he added, urging people to vote for his party to see the BJP out.“The people of Goa have a choice between AAP and BJP. If you want a clean, honest government, you can vote for AAP. The other option is to vote for the BJP directly or indirectly. Indirect voting is when you vote for the Congress, that Congress man will win and go to the BJP,” Mr Kejriwal said reference was to the situation since the 2017 elections in the coastal state. The Congress, which emerged as the single largest party in the election with 17 MLAs, now has just two.

India Under-19 skipper Yash Dhull says it was a conscious decision to steady the ship by batting till the 40th over alongside Shaik Rasheed without taking much risk, which helped them notch a 96run win against Australia in the semifinals.Off to a shaky start after opting to bat, India were struggling at 37 for 2 when Dhull walked in. The skipper struck a sublime run a ball 110 and stitched a game-changing 204-run partnership with his deputy Rasheed (94 off 108 balls) to post a formidable 290 for five. The target ended up being too steep for Australia as they were the bowled out
for 194 in 41.5 overs. With the 96-run victory four-time champions India cruised to their fourth consecutive final“The plan from me and Rasheed was to bat till the end, and it worked. The idea was to bat steadily, not to try too many shots, and to bat past the 40th over,” Dhull said at the post match presentation. Dhull and Rashid were eventually dismissed off successive balls in the 46th over.“Myself and Rasheed bat well together, we combine well and it showed.

Beijing was awarded the 2008 Summer Olympics, largely under the assumption that the Games would improve civil liberties in the country. There is no such talk now. The Olympics open Friday under heavy security and warnings from officials that athletes or others could face legal action if they speak out on human rights or other touchy issues. The Games are a reminder of both China’s rise and its disregard for civil liberties, which has prompted a diplomatic boycott led by the United States. Rights groups have documented forced labor, mass detentions and torture, and the U.S. has called China’s internment of at least 1 million Uyghurs genocide. China has also come under criticism

Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, the web series will begin streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from February 4 onwards in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Bengali. It is an adaptation of Vikas Swarup’s famous novel, Six Suspects and is produced by Ajay Devgn and Priti Vinay Sinha under their banner Ajay Devgn FFilms and RLE Media.
