War Of Attrition Between Narendra Modi And Rss Intensifies The political spectre looming over the country points to bad days. The recent political actioof Narendra Modi without any ambiguity underline the threat of India turning into anauthoritarian state. Modi has turned so self-aggrandizer that he is reluctant to stand to hiscritics belonging to his own party.He is on the drive to weed out such elements, though done behind the veneer of revitalisingthe party and honouring the stalwarts. What made Modi to suddenly realise the importanceof rehabilitation of the old leaders whom he had removed from the scene is really intriguing.The fact cannot be obliterated that Nitish Kumar’s jolt has unnerved Modi and he has beenusing all kind of machinations to boost his image and position.Claims by his friends that in his speech from the Red Fort he has unveiled a new vision is aninstance. But these people could not cite even one tangible instance. Even his friendscannot deny that Modi is in the prevailing political situation is held in low esteem. Obviously,the reply lies in the wisdom that he has failed to fulfil the popular expectation of the peoplethat he would come up to their expectations and provide good governance and maintainpersonal integrity.He has come to nurture the feeling that he is even superior to the RSS and he instead oftaking calls from the RSS leaders could dictate them. Modi who already nursed egotismbecome more arrogant. He did not like to have any adversary even in his dreams. The latestmove of dropping efficient union minister Nitin Gadkari and MP chief minister Shivraj SinghChauhan from the Parliamentary Board of the party is a candid example.In a major reshuffle ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP on Wednesdayreconstituted its two top decision-making bodies, 11-member Parliamentary Board and 15-member Central Election Committee dropping Nitin Gadkari and Shivraj Singh Chauhan,indicating their diminishing stock in the party. Undeniably omission of Gadkari from thepowerful board signals a major generational and political shift in the highest echelons of theBJP in the Narendra Modi-Amit Shah era. Modi has sent a clear message that he was notwilling to tolerate any kind criticism to his leadership.Gadkari is also a former BJP chief and by virtue of this he should have find a place in theboard. The party keeps former presidents in the decision-making process. Gadkari is alsoknown for his proximity to RSS, closer than Modi. The party made six new entries, includingPunjab cadre IPS officer Iqbal Singh Lalpura and Haryana leader Sudha Yadav, in the Parliamentary Board. Headed by President JP Nadda, the two panels include who’s who of the BJP — Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence MinisterRajnath Singh and general secretary (organisation) BL Santhosh.Significantly former Karnataka chief minister B S Yediyurappa and union ministerSarbananda Sonowal have found place in the new committees. Yediyurappa was forced toresign as the Chief Minister on the allegation of his being involved in corruption. Though hisinduction points to Modi’s desire to expand in South India, it also aims at countering thedomination of RSS.Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, who led the BJP to an unprecedented second term in thestate, has not been “rewarded”. He is not on good terms with ModiShah. It implied that hehas no role to play in the decision-making process.Modi was working on the design to combine the RSS’s traditional sense of organization withthe populist nature of politics. Initially he succeeded to a large extent but now in theprevailing situation he is finding himself in a bind. Precisely this is te reason that he is tryingto present his image larger than the image of the RSS. Modi had helped the party to winmunicipal elections. But these utterly lacked the economic issues. It was purely based oncaste equations. In a way Modi has mastered the art of using caste and communalism. Andthis has doing in the prevailing situation too. Using his skill, he strengthened the party’selectoral base in Gujarat.Modi has been blue eyed boy of RSS, but his desperation to outgrow has of late strained hisrelationship with the RSS. The most recent example is his call “Har Ghar Tiranga”. Thismove of Modi had actually put the RSS is an embarrassing situation. Just ahead of the finalday, August 15, some of the RSS leaders put flags on the houses. This ambivalence of theRSS leaders had prompted the - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara Congress leader Jairam Ramesh.

Krishna Janmashtami 2022: When is Dahi Handi? Know all about its date, history, celebrations and significance Agency News:Mumbai The Hindu festival of Krishna Janmashtami is celebrated with much pomp around the country. It marks the birth of Lord Krishna, believed to be the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. This year it is being celebrated today, August 18. The auspicious occasion is marked by praying to Lord Krishna, visiting temples to seek his blessings, wearing new clothes, observing fasts, decorating homes and places of worship, making sweet dishes made of milk products, and more. However, among the many rituals, the Dahi Handi festival, also called Gopalakala or Utlotsavam, holds great significance and is celebrated with much fanfare every year. Dahi Handi is marked a day after Janmashtami. According to Drik Panchang, this year, Dahi Handi falls on Friday, August 19, 2022. The Ashtami Tithi will begin at 09:20 pm on August 18, 2022, and end at 10:59 pm on August 19, 2022 According to Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna was fond of curd and butter in his childhood. As he grew up, his fondness for curd and butter increased, and he would find mischievous ways to steal it from neighbours and villagers. When Yashoda maa found out about the makhan chor’s deeds, she asked villagers to hide the freshly churned butter and dahi in earthen pots and tie them high up in the air. She also tied Lord Krishna to prevent him from stealing more butter and curd. However, Lord Krishna’s friends created a human pyramid to help him reach the earthen pots to steal the butter. Translated literally, Dahi means curd, and Handi is an earthen pot used to process and store milk products. The celebration of Dahi Handi is a sweet reminder of the endearing and notorious ways of makhan chor Lord Krishna. The Dahi Handi festival is popularly celebrated in Maharashtra and Gujarat. Each year, Dahi Handi celebrations witness large gatherings of people re-enacting his stories and feasting. Additionally, a Handi containing dahi (curd), makhan (butter), ghee, sweets and nuts is suspended at a height of 30 ft. Then, groups of people called mandals compete against each other to form a human pyramid and break the Handi. The person on top of the human pyramid is referred to as Govinda. Whoever breaks the Handi first gets a prize. The celebrations are worth watching every year.The celebrations of Krishna Janmashtami witness great pomp and show throughout the country. Born in a dungeon in present-day Mathura, Lord Krishna is hailed as the god of love, compassion, and tenderness. He is also known for his mischief as he would prank others but also extend help using his supreme powers.The day of Krishna Janmashtami celebrates the love, warmth, and beauty that Lord Krishna represents.
As Lord Krishna is believed to have been born at midnight, the Janmashtami puja is conducted around that time
