Shashi Tharoor Wishes SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Bhagwant Mann On Punjab Aap Victory In Punjab Means Peo- Win, Shares A Trivia ple Are Tired With National Parties Editorial
Agency News:New Delhi
A trait common to all politicians, even the bright young ones, is a penchant for sycophancy.So, when AAP swept its one-state wonder tag out the Delhi window and took Punjab by the“vacuum cleaner”, Delhi AAP leader Raghav Chadha, who ran AAP’s Punjab poll campaign,couldn’t stop himself from blurting out, “Kejriwal will be Prime Minister.”Chadha, to his credit, added that “this shows AAP is the natural and national replacement ofthe Congress.” Maybe the choice of words was not right. The AAP has accomplished aregime change, by not being a natural replacement of the Congress. AAP and Kejriwalwouldn’t want to be another version of the Congress. To be the “national replacement” of theCongress is okay, but to be the “natural replacement” of the Congress? Never.Chadha’s euphoria of the moment, perhaps, made him overreact. But a good thing, too,because the “Kejrilwal for Prime Minister” will keep Kejriwal from butting into Punjab affairsevery now and then. That is a danger. There were reports that Kejriwal would have liked tobe “CM of Punjab” more than he would have wanted to remain “CM of Delhi.”Let us not forget, however, that Arvind Kejriwal in 2014 contested against Narendra Modifrom Varanasi. He lost then, but it was an early sign that Arvind Kejriwal had primeministerial ambitions. Not then in 2014, but later. Then, at the time, AAP hadn’t even madean impact in Delhi, forget about the whole of India.So, has AAP, today, become the “principal challenger of BJP” at the national stage? Theanswer to that is that AAP, after its sweeping Punjab win, perhaps, the only political partywhich can “go to any state in India” and make an impact. This is something that only theCongress and the BJP could lay claim to.The AAP, in fact, has “all-India” written into its very title—there are “aam aadmi” everywherein India, cutting across state boundaries. There are Tamil-speaking “aam aadmi”, Kannada-speaking aam aadmi and Oriya-speaking aam aadmi; also the Bengalispeaking andAssamese-speaking. In fact, the “aam aadmi” in AAP is the binding force that can make AAPa nationwide phenomenon.Come to think of it, the AAP sweep of Punjab shouldn’t surprise anybody. Such sweeps areAAP’s calling card. AAP swept the Delhi assembly polls not once but twice, leavingopposition parties in single digits, and powerful national parties at that, the Congress and theBJP, left in the troughs with no strength to wade into the well of the House!That said, AAP did not do wonders in Uttarakhand or Goa. If it hadn’t swept Punjab, RaghavChadha would not have spoken of the AAP as the “natural and national alternative” to the common cause to remove Narendra Modi from 7, Lok Kalyan Marg that the time has cometo unite under a single party.There are other assemblies which will go to polls in 2022 and 2023. The AAP victory inPunjab is not only a shot in the arm for AAP, but also the sole reason to celebrate for theentire Opposition. The BJP was winning more than just in UP, the opposition won only inPunjab.Challenging and defeating the BJP in Gujarat should be AAP’s focus next. And maybe thosestates which go to polls in 2023. A couple of victories more and it will cement AAP’s nationalstanding, fuelling Kejriwal’s national ambitions. There will also be more stamps of approvalto the AAP’s ‘Delhi model of governance’ from the aam aadmi everywhere, all of India. The Delhi model--which made Punjab voters vote for AAP-if replicated successfully inPunjab could very well be AAP’s winning card in other states. From now on, it’s the Yogi-model versus the Kejriwal-model. Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan also had a similar and unique“ration model” which delivered him a second consecutive term.The good thing for AAP and for the Opposition is that the AAP is an answer to the newgeneration’s aspirations. That was the promise with which it hit Delhi’s streets. There weresome setbacks, but AAP’s Punjab sweep gives millions, who never accepted the BJP, hopefor 2024. The AAP, if Arvind Kejriwal plays AAP’s cards right, can, like Raghav Chadhasaid, emerge as the “national replacement” of not just the Congress, but, more important, “replacement” - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara of the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Uranium surges to highest since Fukushima on Russian war
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor congratulated and wished luck to his “Lok Sabha benchmate” Bhagwant Mann and the Aam Aadmi Party on Friday on their resounding victory in Punjab.

Uranium spot prices soared to the highest level since the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster on concern potential sanctions aimed at Russia are poised to roil an already tight market.The price for benchmark Ux U3O8 uranium jumped to $59.75 per pound on Thursday, according to data compiled by UxC LLC. That’s the highest since March 2011, when meltdowns at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi facility shut Japan’s fleet of nuclear plants, sent a shock-wave across the atomic industry and dashed demand for uranium -- the fuel
used in reactors.The White House is considering sanctions on Russia’s state-owned atomic energy company, Rosatom Corp., intensifying concerns over disruptions to uranium exports from Russia. Rosatom is a delicate target because the company and its subsidiaries account for more than 35% of global uranium enrichment. Russia accounted for 16.5% of the uranium imported into the U.S. in 2020.“The fear of Russian nuclear fuel supplies being cut off in the West (especially the US and European Union) has led buyers to enter the spot uranium market.

“Will Remain In BJP”: MP Who Campaigned For Father, A Samajwadi PartyCandidate
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ensure that civic polls in the national capital are not deferred and stressed that postponing elections weakens democracy. The Delhi State Election Commission has said that the centre plans to bring a Bill in the Budget Session to unify three civic bodies and since the poll panel is examining the communication from Lt Governor Anil Baijal, it has decided to defer announcement of the election schedule. The panel has said that it has sufficient time to conduct the polls before the expiry of term
on May 18. The three municipal corporations - South Delhi Municipal Corporation, North Delhi Municipal Corporation and East Delhi Municipal Corporation - are currently in BJP’s control. ”People are questioning the move. It has been seven-eight years since the BJP is at the Centre, why didn’t they do it (unification) earlier,” Mr Kejriwal asked. “The BJP knows that there is an AAP wave in Delhi and they would lose elections,” he said.Questioning the rationale behind the move, he asked, “If tomorrow, three municipal corporations are clubbed, they will sit out of one office. The employees will do as needed, but why defer elections for this? Tomorrow if India.

When asked how he can say that being the Congress president, he asserted that the people have chosen change and they are never wrong. “The voice of the people is the voice of God. We should understand with humility and bow
to it,” he added. Showing no signs of distress, he said the upliftment of Punjab is his mission and he never strayed from it and never will. “When a Yogi is on a crusade, they cut all ties and are free of all bounds. They don’t even fear death. I am here in Punjab and will remain here. When someone has a higher objective and is in love with Punjab then he doesn’t care about win or loss,” he said. “My connection with the people is not limited, it’s spiritual and of the heart. My relationship with the people is not limited to poll wins and losses.
The BJP’s Sanghamitra Maurya, who campaigned for her father Swami Prasad Maurya - a Samajwadi Party candidate in the Uttar Pradesh polls, has defended her decision to back her father in the election. The decision to back her father was taken after he was “attacked” by BJP workers, Sanghamitra Maurya said, asserting that she will remain in the BJP“I am saying again that I was and will remain in BJP. My father was attacked so I came forward. I did not speak against the BJP, but its workers who riot. How

After Paytm Flop Show, India Tightens IPO Valuation Scrutiny Agency News: New Delhi India has tightened scrutiny of IPO-bound firms by questioning how key internal business metrics are used to arrive at valuations, unsettling bankers and companies which fear delays in listing plans, sources with direct knowledge told Reuters.India’s push comes after the flop listing of SoftBank-backed payments firm Paytm’s $2.5 billion IPO in November which sparked criticism of lax oversight of how loss-making companies price issues at what some
say are lofty valuations.The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) last month flagged concerns in proposing stricter disclosures, saying more and more new-age tech firms which “generally remain loss making for a longer period” were filing for IPOs, and traditional financial disclosures “may not aid investors.”But even before the proposal is finalised, SEBI has in recent weeks asked many companies to get their nonfinancial metrics -- KPIs, or key performance indicators -audited, and then explain how they were used to arrive.

SPORTS - BUSINESS Gavaskar wants Rohit Sharma to stop playing pull shots until set Agency News: New Delhi The pull is one of Rohit Sharma’s signature shots but it is also something that cost him his wicket a few times, one of which was in India’s first Test against Sri Lanka. Rohit, who was making his debut as India’s Test captain, hit back-to-back fours off the first two balls of Lahiru Kumara’s over with the shot but he only ended up hitting the fourth ball of the over straight into the hands of long on. Batting great Sunil Gavaskar said that
Rohit may have to use the shot more sparingly in the early stages of an innings in a Test match. “He has got to think about it. You can argue that it is a productive shot but that is not the only shot.
He has got so many others. Now every bowler who has a little bit of pace will fancy his chances against him saying, ‘I don’t mind going for a couple of sixes or boundaries but there will be an

Agency News: New Delhi It may have been over three days since Pakistan and Australia played out a dull draw in the first Test in Rawalpindi. However, the criticism over the pitch at the Pindi Cricket Stadium has continued with many former Pakistan
cricketers lashing out at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The Test saw only 14 wickets falling throughout the five days, with Australia managing to take only four.

insisting that the cricket in the country won’t grow with such “rotten” mindset. During the same video, Butt also reacted to Ramiz Raja’s statement following the end of the Test where the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman had said that they cannot play to Australia’s strength by making fast, bouncy pitches.

Rohit was dismissed on 29 off 28 balls, marking the first time he couldn’t score at least a half century in an innings in four Test matches. “So he has got to work the percentages out. If he still thinks that that the percentages are working in his favour, then go on playing but at the moment, they aren’t working in his favour. So maybe he should put it in cold storage till he gets to 80,90, 100,” said Gavaskar.

4 LOCAL NEWS Colliers strengthens its Office Services capabilities in Former ISRO scientist’s Mumbai with senior industry hir Press Release startup to make low-altitude, high-resolution radars I never really thought that I would contribute to Sunvilla News: Ahmedabad Tapan Misra, a retired scientist of the Indian Space Research Organisation, has founded a startup to make synthetic aperture radars (SAR) that will operate at low altitudes and can be fitted on drones to get more accurate images that can be used for military and civilian purposes.“Initially we are developing a dronebased SAR. It will be a very high-resolution SAR which can provide very clear pictures even from low altitudes. I do not think there is anyone who is offering a drone-based SAR, because in the low atmosphere there is a lot of disturbance that interferes with the quality of the image. Usually, SARs are mounted on moving platforms like a reconnaissance aircraft or on satellites,” said Misra, who is chairman of the startup SISIR Radar, named after Sisir K Mitra, founder of the radio physics department of Calcutta University. “If I make the same SAR that the ISRO is making,
why will people come to me? We are trying to develop an SAR that can provide continuous imaging at a very high resolution. This is not possible for a normal SAR. We expect our product to be ready within the next two years,” said Misra, who was moved out as director of Ahmedabad’s Space Applications Centre in July 2018 and appointed an adviser to the ISRO chairman—a post from which he retired in January 2021.The new startup is based out of temporary premises in Kolkata. “Though registered in Ahmedabad, we are currently based in Kolkata. The city has provided us with angel investors and it also has a number of microwave engineers, which is hard to find in Gujarat. My son and daughter-in-law have given up well-paying jobs to help me start this venture. My son is a graduate from IIT-Kanpur and has experience with startups,” Misra said, declining to name the investors or the funds invested in the startup.
