Rohit Shekhar Tiwari, ND Tiwari’s Son, Murdered, Likely With Pillow: Cops
Priyanka Chaturvedi resigns from Congress
New Delhi : Rohit Shekhar Tiwari, the son of former Uttar Pradesh chief ministe r a nd C ong res s stalwart ND Tiwari, did not die a natural death and was most probably killed by being smothered with a pillow, sources in the Delhi Police have said, after a post-mortem was conducted. The post-mortem report reveals “unnatural death”. Rohit Tiwari, 40, was said to have died on Wednesday due to a cardiac arrest. The investigation has been transferred to the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police which has registered a case of murder. Crime Branch officials visited Rohit Tiwari’s house today and questioned his family members and domestic helps. His wife Apoorva is currently not in Delhi. A forensics team too visited
the house. Police sources say there are seven CCTV cameras - of which two don’t work - in Rohit Shekhar Tiwari’s house in Defence Colony, a posh residential area in south Delhi. They say Rohit Tiwari had gone to Uttarakhand to vote on April 12 and returned on the night of April 15. He could be seen on CCTV taking support of the wall while walking in an inebriated state, police sources added. The next day, Rohit’s mother Ujjwala Tiwari was in Max Hospital for her treatment when she received a call from home that he was unwell and bleeding from his nose. She then took an ambulance that brought Rohit to the hospital. At that time of the phone call, Rohit Tiwari’s wife Apoorva, his cousin Siddharth and domestic helps were at home, police sources said.
Hemant Karkare died because of my curse: Pragya Singh Thakur Pragya says she had cursed the former Anti-Terrorist Squad, who died in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, for treating her “very badly” while she was in custody in 2008 Malegaon blast case.
Bhopal : Malegaon blast accused and Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency’s BJP candidate Pragya Singh Thakur on Friday said former Anti-Terrorist Squad chief Hemant Karkare died in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks as she had cursed him for treating her “very badly” while she was in custody in the 2008 Malegaon blast case. “Hemant Karkare falsely implicated me. He died of his karma. I told him, he
will be destroyed. I told him his entire dynasty will be erased. Maine kaha tera [Karkare] sarvanash hoga,” she said. The IPS Association tweeted in response to her comment, “Ashok Chakra awardee late Sri Hemant Karkare, IPS made the supreme sacrifice fighting terrorists. Those of us in uniform condemn the insulting statement made by a candidate and demand that sacrifices of all our martyrs be respected.” Karkare was killed along with two other senior police officers while fighting terrorists during the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai in November 2008. Pragya Singh Thakur is set to have a direct electoral contest with Congress veteran and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh in Bhopal.
Mulayam, Mayawati share stage after decades, praise each other
New Delhi : Ending decades-long rivalry, SP patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mayawati on Friday shared dais at an election rally here with the BSP president describing the SP patron as a “real leader” of the backward class, unlike Prime Minister Narendra Modi whom she dubbed as “farzi.” The BSP leader, who had snapped all ties with the SP after the infamous State guest house incident in 1995, arrived at the Christian College ground to a rousing reception by surging crowds, comprising mainly of Samajwadi Party supporters in the party citadel. As a SP MLA bowed before the BSP president Mayawati touching her feet, the SP patron, who was the first one to speak,

Hardik Patel slapped at poll rally in Gujarat New Delhi : Congress leader Hardik Patel was slapped by a man later identified as Tarun Gajjar while addressing a “Jan Akrosh” (public anger) rally in Surendranagar in Gujarat today. Hardik Patel, who only recently joined the Congress, was stunned by the blow before recovering and confronting his attacker. The video of the assault then shows the man being overpowered and dragged away. He has filed a police complaint against his attacker, who has been admitted to hospital. The attacker explained his actions, saying the Hardik Patel-led agitation in the state had affected the health of his wife and child. He said, “My wife was pregnant when Patidar agitation happened. I had faced problems then, I had decided then, I’ll hit this man. I have to teach him a lesson anyhow”. “Then again during his rally in Ahmedabad when I had gone to get medicine for my child, everything was shut down. He shuts down the
roads, he shuts down Gujarat whenever he wants to, What is he? Gujarat’s hitler?” The young politician joined the Congress, in the presence of Rahul Gandhi, in March, having campaigned for the party during the 2017 state elections. He was keen on contesting the ongoing Lok
Sabha elections from the Jamnagar constituency in Gujarat but was unable to do so because of a conviction in a 2015 rioting case. As a result, he has become a star campaigner for the Congress and, on this occasion, was campaigning for Soma Das, the party candidate from the
‘What is he? Gujarat’s Hitler’: Man who attacked Cong’s Hardik Patel Ag-GNS, Ahmedabad: Likening Congress leader Hardik Patel to Hitler, the man who slapped him at a rally in Gujarat’s Surendranagar on Friday, said he had decided in 2015 that he would hit the Patidar leader. “My wife was pregnant when Patidar agitation happened, she was undergoing treatment at a hospital, I had faced problems then, I had decided then, I’ll hit this man. I have to teach him a lesson anyhow,” the attacker Tarun Gajjar said. “During his rally in Ahmedabad when I had gone to get medicine
for my child, everything was shut down. He shuts down the roads, he shuts down Gujarat whenever he wants to, What is he? Gujarat’s Hitler?” added Gajjar, who was admitted in hospital after being attacked by Congress workers following the slapping incident.
"Ready To Face Polls In Tamil Nadu Whenever They Are Held": Rajinikanth
Ag-GNS, Chennai: Tamil “superstar” Rajinikanth on Friday said his formal political entry will coincide with the next assembly polls in Tamil Nadu. The remarks virtually reiterate his earlier announcement that he will float a party by the next assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, due in 2021, and contest from all the 234 seats. “Whenever the assembly elections are held,” was the actor’s brief response to a question as to when his political entry was expected. Asked if he would take a decision based on the outcome of bypolls to 18 assembly segments held on Thursday along with 38 Lok Sabha seats, Rajinikanth said he will respond after the results are out. To a question if the results may lead to assembly polls in the state and whether he would then
face them, the actor shot back, “Ready to face, whenever they are held.” The outcome of the bypolls to a total of 22 assembly segments in Tamil Nadu could decide the continuance of the AIADMK government in the state. The bypolls to four other seats will be held on May 19. In the 234-member House, the K Palaniswami government has 113 MLAs, excluding the Speaker. It needs a simple majority of 117 to continue. All eyes are on the outcome of the bypolls, as a loss for the AIADMK could well lead to the next assembly polls. In December 2017, the

Her parents have also accused her boyfriend of committing the crime who has been arrested by the police.
Ag-GNS, Bengaluru : A 22-year-old engineering student, who was missing since April 13, was found hanging from a tree in a jungle on April 15 in Karnataka’s Raichur. The police said that they have found a suicide note which says that she committed suicide because of depression. The deceased had left for college on Saturday morning around 11am, but never returned. However, the girl’s family has denied the suicide claim and has alleged that she
was raped, burnt and then hanged. Her parents have also accused her boyfriend of committing the crime who has been arrested by the police. The incident has shaken the region and an online petition, started by a Dharwad native, has taken the internet by storm. The petition on change. org has gained 1.23 lakh signatures already. It says that the young student was brutally raped and burnt to death, then hanged. The police have confirmed that her body was burnt. They are awaiting a post-mortem report to proceed with further investigation.
superstar had announced that he would take the political plunge and contest the next assembly polls in the state whose politics is dominated by Dravidian majors-the DMK and AIADMK. Since he made his announcement on December 31, 2017, speculations had often been rife about the launch of his political party, although “Rajini Makkal Mandram”, a forum seen as a forerunner to his political ambitions, is in vogue. Even in the past, the actor had dropped hints of taking the political plunge, but it was only in 2017 that he made a definitive statement on launching his own political party. To a question on whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi will get a second term, he said it will be known on May 23, the counting day.
Surendranagar seat, when he was assaulted. Hardik Patel rose to prominence in the national political scene after starting a quota stir in Gujarat in 2015, leading the Patidars against the state’s BJP government. The Patidars were, up till then, considered strong BJP supporters. The Patidar leader’s activism led to the
Congress gaining 16 seats in 2017 assembly polls compared to what it won in 2012; 15 of these came from the Saurashtra region of the state, which is also where the Surendranagar seat is located. The district is also where over 50 per cent of all Patel voters in the state are registered and 73 per cent of voters are farmers.
Tripura Congress Chief Slaps Man Inside Police Station for Attacking His Sister’s Convoy, Case Filed
Ag-GNS, Agartala: Police have filed a complaint against state Congress unit chief Pradyot Kishore for slapping a supporter of rival IPFT, who allegedly made an attempt to attack the convoy of his sister and party’s Lok Sabha candidate Pragya Debburman, an officer said. Burman courted controversy on Thursday after he was seen in a CCTV footage slapping a supporter of the IPFT, an ally of the ruling BJP, inside a police station. Police had arrested the IPFT supporter earlier on the charge of trying to attack the convoy of Congress’ Lok Sabha candidate Pragya Dev Burman in Khowai district of Tripura on Thursday. Pragya is the sister of the state Congress president. The accused supporter of the Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura (IPFT) allegedly tried to throw brickbats at the convoy of the candidate but he was captured by the security guards escorting her car, Deputy Inspector General of Police Arindam Nath said. The incident took place while Pragya was on her way back
from a rally at Tulashikhar, a tribal hamlet in Khowai district. Pragya Dev Burman is the Congress candidate for East Tripura (ST) constituency which will go to polls on April 23. “We were returning after attending a public meeting at Tulashikhar area. An IPFT supporter tried to hurl a stone at my car. It seems there were more people with him,” Pragya told reporters. Senior BJP leader and Law Minister Ratan Lal Nath showed the CCTV footage of Tulashikhar police station where the accused was taken and Pradyot Dev Burman slapped him. It showed that the state Congress president took law into his hands and wanted to send the message that he would terrorise and attack his political opponents, Nath claimed.
Now Lalit Modi threatens to sue Rahul Gandhi for ‘Modis are thieves’ jibe
New Delhi : Lalit Modi, the former Indian Premier League chief, has threatened to sue Congress president Rahul Gandhi for his “all Modis are thieves” remark w h i l e t a rg e t i n g P r i m e Minister Narendra Modi in the election rallies. “Rahul Gandhi says ‘All Modis are thieves. Well, he will be taken to court in the UK by me. But reality is that the world knows five decades of daylight looting of India was done by none other than the Gandhi family,” Lalit Modi tweeted on Friday morning tagging PM Modi on the micro-blogging site. He was referring to Gandhi’s attack on PM Modi holding him responsible for the alleged financial irregularities committed by businessman Nirav Modi and the former c r i c k e t a d m i n i s t r a t o r. Gandhi had earlier this week asked how all “thieves” have ‘Modi’ as the common surname. “I have a question. Why all thieves have Modi in their names whether it

is Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi or Narendra Modi? We don’t know how many more such Modis will come out,” Gandhi said at a public rally in Maharashtra. Lalit Modi’s threat to sue Gandhi followed a defamation suit filed by Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi against the Congress president. Sushil Modi has filed a criminal complaint before a Bihar court under Section 500
of IPC (punishment for defamation) against Gandhi for the same comment. In his petition, Sushil Modi said he “felt hurt” by Gandhi’s “sweeping remarks” at the April 13 rally, which was telecast live on TV news channels, as it tarnished the reputation of those who shared the surname. The matter will come up for hearing on April 22. PM Modi, too, has hit back at Gandhi for the remark.

Modifying the Nyuntam Aay Yojana to make it workable
When a manifesto presents a game changing idea, like the Nyuntam Aay Yojana (NYAY), or the Congress’s minimum income guarantee scheme, it is likely that whoever wins the elections will adopt it in some form because of its immense political potential, going forward. Recall Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Gurantee Act. It is, therefore, important to seriously examine NYAY and consider possible revisions to make it more effective. Apart from the politics of it, two distinct aspects need to be considered: Administrative feasibility and the fiscal arithmetic. Let’s start with the first. NYAY proposes a cash transfer of 6,000 per month, or 72,000 per year, to the poorest 20% of households. That sounds like a neat target on paper. But how do you actually identify the households who would qualify as among the poorest 20%? As Jean Drèze points out in a compelling but positive critique, in its present form, NYAY is not implementabl. Several national surveys have been conducted to identify and issue cards to persons “below the poverty line” (BPL), but the results have been embarrassing. Nearly half the poor households that should have had BPL cards were excluded, while households above the poverty line were included. Because of these large errors of inclusion and exclusion, leakages and the huge cost of maintaining an administrative machinery for targeting, economists have often argued that it would be easier and cheaper to provide a minimum income to everybody. However, whatever the fiscal arithmetic, a universal basic income goes against the grain of conventional wisdom. The idea that even the rich should be entitled to a basic income appears absurd, even abhorrent, in the popular imagination. So, some form of targeting seems unavoidable. But the least costly way of doing this is not to construct a positive list of who should be included, but a negative list of who should be excluded, and provide income support to all those not explicitly excluded. Some states have adopted this approach in implementing the food subsidy programme. Local functionaries implementing the criteria will always try to game them to get a cut of the dole received by misclassified beneficiaries. Hence, the exclusion criteria should be as simple and transparent as possible. The NYAY variant Drèze suggests is to include all the elderly, single women, and the disabled. However, that is an inclusion list, not an exclusion list, and perhaps not that difficult to game. What proportion of local functionaries would not be prepared to give a false certificate for a cut? Ghost “elderly persons”, “disabled persons” and alleged single women would line up for the benefits. My preferred alternative is the first step of excluding all males. Even the most ingenious functionary would find it difficult to game that exclusion criterion with a false certificate. Further, it would help rebalance gender power in our patriarchal society. The exclusion criteria should also exclude all women who are income tax payees or persons with cement-brick homes, power connections, telephone connections, and so on, at the addresses recorded on their voter ID cards. Further, women from a household that already has a listed beneficiary should be excluded. However, the existing list of male recipients of old age or disability allowances should be added as beneficiaries. These lists are unlikely to be significantly gamed because the current benefits are so paltry even by Indian standards. Subsequently, males not excluded by other criteria, but heading households with no women, should be included as beneficiaries on grounds of equity. There is potential for some gaming here. This targeting framework is not ideal, but likely to minimize - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara errors of exclusion/inEditor clusion.

New Delhi : Actord i r e c t o r- c h o r e o g r a p h e r Raghava Lawrence is gearing up for the release of his next film in the Muni franchise, Kanchana 3. Other than the love and support from fans and friends, he has received a unique gesture from none other than superstar Chiranjeevi. The south superstar has donated Rs 10 lakh to a charitable trust run by Lawrence. During the prerelease event of Kanchana 3, Telugu film producer Allu Aravind presented the cheque from Chiranjeevi to Lawrence’s charitable trust for underprivileged children. Since they are establishing a new branch of the trust in Hyderabad, Chiranjeevi decided to do his bit through this philanthropic gesture. Chiranjeevi connected with the team of Kanchana 3 in Hyderabad through a video message and conveyed his wishes to Lawrence at the
event. While presenting the cheque, Allu Aravind said, “Our family has known Lawrence right when he was a dancer. He became a dance master with Hitler. Over the years, Lawrence has become a brand. People wait for his movies. Chiranjeevi garu has decided to donate Rs 10 lakh to the charitable trust run by him. I am here today to present the cheque.” Hitler was a blockbuster, starring Chiranjeevi, that
released in 1997 and is known for many cult dance movements. Lawrence expressed his gratitude and attributed his rising career to him. “I wouldn’t have become a dance master but for Chiranjeevi annayya. Had I not become a dance master, I wouldn’t have got a chance to direct Nagarjuna garu (for Mass). Without all this, I wouldn’t have been able to fund the heart surgeries of 150 children,” Lawrence said.

Reduce Break Between Innings to Maintain ‘Good Habits’: AB de Villiers
New Delhi : Royal Challengers Bangalore’s AB de Villiers has proposed a reduction in the turnover time between innings’ to ensure that IPL games finish within the stipulated three and a half hours. This season’s IPL has seen matches run well beyond four hours as teams strategise and plot every move of theirs on the field, and de Villiers believes that the IPL needs to ensure that it sticks to “good habits” to keep the tournament “in shape”. “One easy fix could be to reduce the break between innings from the current 20 minutes to a manageable 10 minutes,” de Villiers wrote in his column for Times of India. “The umpires might have to drink their cups of tea a little more quickly, but that would save ten minutes without pain. When a super over had been completed to decide the match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders, it felt as if it was time for breakfast. “There is
a system in place whereby the captain is penalised if his team fails to maintain the required over rate while bowling. This involves a fine for the first offence followed by suspension, but the impact of these measures appears minimal, roughly equivalent to the weight loss of an obese gentleman who orders to giant hamburgers and a diet Coke!” Already this season, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma have been fined for their teams’ inability to maintain the over-rate, and stricter
punishments like deduction from net run-rate, larger fines and point deductions have been proposed as well. But de Villiers has said that “the competition should not be distorted”, and that a “less draconian approach may be more effective.” “Just as an individual needs to eat a little less and exercise a little more to stay in shape, so everybody involved in the IPL needs to accept collective responsibility for the problem and embrace steps to keep the game moving. We’re all in this together.

Pragyan Ojha posts cryptic tweet on Ambati Rayudu’s exclusion from World Cup squad New Delhi : Former Indian left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha has added more fuel to the ongoing debate about middle-order batsman Ambati Rayudu’s exclusion from the 15-member World Cup squad announced on Monday with a cryptic tweet. Rayudu posted a tweet after being left out of the squad which was a direct dig at chief selector MSK Prasad’s comment about all-rounder Vijay Shankar being picked in the squad as a choice for the number 4 slot, which many expected Rayudu to fill. The 3D reference came a day after chairman of selectors MSK Prasad cited Shankar ’s “threedimensional qualities” to justify his selection. The BCCI brass has taken a note but since it wasn’t a direct criticism of the selection policy, the parent body wants to let it go. Pragyan Ojha has now responded to that tweet by writing, “Curious
case of some Hyderabadi cricketers... been in a similar situation... understand the wink.” Ojha’s remark is another dig at the selection panel as he too represented Hyderabad in domestic cricket. The left-arm spinner was at the peak of his Test career before he was unceremoniously dumped from the national team. Not many would know, Ojha was the Man of the match in Sachin Tendulkar’s farewell Test in Mumbai where he picked 10 wickets against West Indies. Ojha’s case is curious as he picked up 113 wickets in 24 Tests. He has also represented India in 18 one-day internationals and 6 T20 internationals.

Only one fund house had exposure to Jet Airways as of March 2019
New Delhi : With crisis-ridden Jet Airways tottering over the past one year before it finally careened to a halt, most fund houses had decided to exit the stock. But data shows that as of March 2019, the most recent quarterly release, only fund house, Aditya Birla Sun Life (ABSL) AMC, still had Jet stock in their portfolio, with as many as six schemes having exposure. In terms of value, as on March-end Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund held Jet Airways shares worth Rs 109 crore. Moneycontrol has learnt from sources, however, that ABSL has since exited Jet. Data further showed that even ICICI Prudential S&P BSE 500 ETF had a miniscule (0.01 percent) holding in Jet as of March 2019, but that holding is also a function of an ETF having to follow an index. Founded by Naresh Goyal in 1992, Jet Airways has a debt of over
Rs 8,000 crore. With a complete shutdown, Jet Airways faces a turbulent flight back to recovery while lenders are staring at higher provisions and deeper haircut since it is no longer a “going concern”. Since the shutdown announcement, the stock has fallen sharply, falling over 28 percent intraday on April 18. Before that, the stock had been fairly resilient, trading well above its 52-week lows amid hope that lenders who had recently taken control of the airline, would infuse fresh funds.

All is well with Modi’s Mudra loans; NPAs within RBI limits, says finance ministry official
Ag-GNS, New Delhi : The non-performing assets (NPAs) under Modi g o v e r n m e n t ’s f l a g s h i p scheme Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana (PMMY) for promoting small businesses are within the Reserve Bank of India’s permissible limits, but there are a few PSU banks which may have breached the RBI threshold, a senior finance ministry official said. The RBI had flagged the issue of rising NPAs under Mudra scheme with the government early this year. The finance ministry had received a letter from the central bank about the burgeoning stress levels under the scheme. “The overall NPA level in Mudra scheme is around 5%, which is less than the Basel
norms. But there are a few PSU banks which may have crossed the RBI’s threshold which is little worrisome,” the official told Financial Express Online, seeking anonymity. He declined to comment about the quantum of latest NPA level. However, according to the other media reports, the NPA level in Mudra loans had crossed Rs 11,000 crore in January.

Some of the counties that BCCI is talking to include Leicestershire, Essex, Nottinghamshire. “During the last Test series in England, the BCCI has had
discussions with the CEOs of all major counties so that our top Test players can play there in summers,” said the official. Ideally, the BCCI is looking at three to maximum four first class games for its players before the West Indies series. “The conditions are completely different save that they will playing with red Dukes which will also be used in the West Indies. It’s just that they will get game time. We are hopeful that all our seven Test players will be playing either Division 1 or 2 of the English county,” he said. India skipper Virat Kohli was supposed to play for Surrey last year but could not do so due to an injury.

New-age communal violence gains ground in rural Gujarat
Ahmedabadt : Polarization, a concept earlier seen only in cities of Gujarat, has now found its way to small towns and villages. A report on “Deepening roots of communalism in Gujarat – A report on communal violence in 2018”, by Buniyaad, anorganisation working to promote conflict transformation processes among marginalised communities in Gujarat has found that communal violence has spread to newer areas. The report was based on data collected by Alp Sankhyak Adhikar Manch, a human rights organisation, through direct interactions with survivors, the accused, political parties and the administration, and then corroborated with FIR copies. The report analyzed incidents of communal violence in 2018 and found that now, religious festivals are used for competitive mobilisation. Hozefa Ujjaini, who leads Buniyaad, said, “Ghettoisation was seen in cities earlier but it is affecting villages now. Attempts are being made to end all sorts
Ahmedabad : Why can’t the state grant a citizen the status of an atheist? The Gujarat high court on Thursday posed the question to the state government following a plea by Rajveer Upadhyay, a 35-year-old auto rickshaw driver. Upadhyay moved HC in July 2018 after the Ahmedabad district collector declined his request to change his religion from Hinduism to atheism under the anti-conversion laws. After deliberating over it for over two years, the district collector on May 16, 2017, refused him permission for such conversion holding that under the state’s anticonversion law, “any citizen can change his religion from one religion to other religion, but there is no provision to change the religion as secular (Atheist)”. An HC bench of acting Chief Justice
A S Dave and Justice Biren Vaishnav issued notice to the state government and Ahmedabad district collector in response to Upadhyay’s petition. Upadhyay submitted that he was born a Hindu in a Garoda Brahmin family which falls in the scheduled caste. He claims to have battled caste discrimination all his life which has prompted him to relinquish his religion. Upadhyay has also requested the HC to direct the state government to make amendments to its
Freedom of Religion Act, which makes it mandatory for a citizen to obtain permission from district collector if he/ she wants to change his or her religion. In 2003, Gujarat government brought a legislation which mandated permission from state authorities as precondition for any citizen to convert from one religion to the other. The HC has also asked the legal services authority to assist the petitioner to prosecute the case. It was submitted that Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution grant freedom to citizens to propagate any religion or faith. The state government’s anticonversion law is in violation of constitutional provisions if it restricts a citizen from relinquishing his faith and assuming the identity of a secular or an atheist, Upadhyay submitted.
Vadodara : It was supposed to be the most memorable day in the life of Asmita Bhil, but residents of her village Jambughoda in Chhota Udepur district will also remember her wedding, albeit for a different reason. The entire village travelled across the area in search of water to meet the requirements during marriage function. In fact, the haldiclad bride too joined the procession to get whatever little water they could to serve the guests. It is not just Jambughoda village that is facing acute water crisis, but the entire tribal-dominated district is staring at a droughtlike situation. The local authorities are contemplating curtailing water supply. “We have more than a dozen bore wells in our village, but only one provides us with water. We have made many representations to sarpanch and taluka panchayat but nothing has happened so far,” said Himmat Bhil, a farmer
from Jambughoda. Residents of several villages in Bodeli taluka are also reeling under severe water scarcity. Locals believe that if this situation persists in every summer, they will have to migrate in coming years. “Wells have completely dried up due to which we have to bring water tankers from outside. If not today, after five years we will have to move to some other place,” said Navnit Patel, who lives in Mankani village. People also blame rampant sand mining in Orsang River for the current situation. “Due
to sand mining, river bed is now full of large rocks that cannot hold water during summer. As the river has dried up, the water table has also gone down,” said Kartik Shah, deputy sarpanch of Bodeli gram panchayat. He added that May onwards the gram panchayat may be able to supply water only alternate days. Citizens of Chhota Udepur town have threatened of boycotting the Lok Sabha poll if sand mining is not stopped. Members of Chhota Udepur municipality have also joined the protest.

In the last five years, 3 lakh 50 thousand crore rupees debt relief was given only to the 15 businessmen. And when farmers are asking for a loan, then the government says they don’t have money,” said the AICC president. He added that before the state election in 2017, he had promised to farmers that their loans would be waived off in ten days. However, the result was different. But in
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, they have done what was promised before election. Gandhi further said that he had asked his think tank for a figure on how much amount they can give to people who are needy. And they came to conclusion that Rs 72,000 to 20% of the poor is a realistic target and the Congress would do that. “The fishermen told me that they are facing many problems and that many times, they have been detained by the Pakistan government. I promise, we will have a separate minister for fishermen,” remarked Gandhi.

The data showed that recent incidents have taken place in areas unaffected by riots of 2002.” The report states that in 2018, 33 persons were injured in communal violence, of whom 24 were Muslim and nine were Hindus. One Muslim person and two Hindus were killed. In most cases, the Muslim community bore the brunt ofproperty losses. In fact, of 13 incidents, only in one case in Sanjeli village, Dahod, both communities suffer equal losses. The causal analysis of the incidents revealed that religious festivals, processions, rallies, inter-religious relationships, derogatory/controversial songs, eve-teasing and hate speeches were trigger-points for communal riots.
Gujarat: Seeking re-election, Bardoli’s BJP MP faces tribal voters’ ire
Earlier, a BJP man who questioned Valsad MP K C Patel was attacked at a rally
Surat : After BJP candidate of Valsad K C Patel, Bardoli BJP candidate Prabhu Vasava had to face anger of tribals of Tapi district, whose farming lands are being acquired by the government for the Tapi-Par river linking project. A video of angry farmers confronting Vasava at a public meeting on Wednesday went viral. In it, the MP is seen trying to defend himself but then had to cut short his speech and leave. Earlier K C Patel

had to face the anger of the villagers of Tumbi village of Dharampur taluka in Valsad district where a BJP worker himself, Manilal Gavli, complained about the lack of development work in the village and the fact that the MP was visiting them for the first time in five years. Patel, along with other BJP leaders left the place hurriedly without responding. In
Vasava’s meeting in Lakhali village of Vyara taluka which falls in Bardoli Lok Sabha constituency of which Vasava is the sitting MP, several farmers came with copies of government circulars, even as one farmer identified as Mahendrabhai asked why tribals were displaced to erect the Statue of Unity of “Sardar Saheb” to which Vasava said, “It has been done after tribals
willingly gave their land for the project.” One BJP leader, Jagdishbhai, also tried to intervene but Vasava told him to remain quiet so that he could answer all the questions of the tribal farmers. Vasava is also heard telling the farmers that the Tapi project had been “scrapped”, in order to calm them down. Bardoli is where independence leader Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel had launched the farmers’ agitation which earned him the title of Sardar. Vasava was accompanied by Tapi district BJP general secretary Rajendra Punwar and other local BJP leaders. He told the crowd that he would certainly win the election and stay an MP for another five years. “If you have any
problems or issues, you should come to me. Even if you need my presence in your village, you can contact me and I will definitely come to your village to sort out the issues,” he said. To this, a tribal farmer identified as Nileshbhai Gamit, supported by other farmer, said, “There is no development work done in our village and after five years you have come to our village for first time requesting for votes. There are many issues we tribals are facing and the topmost issue is that the government has begun the procedure to acquire farming land for TapiPar river linking projects. Our lands and our residences will be snatched away and we will be displaced.”
Surat: ‘Question Una victims remain political untouchables in Gujarat paper full of mistakes’
Una : The scheduled caste victims of Una, who were beaten up and paraded in full public view for skinning a dead cow by the self-proclaimed cow vigilantes from the upper caste, are “politically untouchable” even after almost three years of the incident. 53-year-old Balubhai Sarvaiya, a resident of Mota Samadhiyala village in Una taluka of GirSomnath district, who was beaten up along with his family members on July 11, 2016 said: “We are irrelevant for both the Congress and the BJP. No one has come to this village for any election campaigning. The Congress Lok Sabha candidate Punjabhai Vanash did visit us in Una town where we are staging protest for over a month but he hasn’t come to our village. It seems that we are untouchables politically.” A group of 45 had allegedly assaulted Balubhai and his wife Kunwarben, their sons Vasram and Ramesh and their relatives Ashok and Bechar. The mob had tied Ramesh, Vasram, Ashok and
