Anil Deshmukh cites SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Sachin Vaze’s U-turn in Large Govt Expenditure Transfer To Work- fresh bail plea Editorial
ing People Is Needed For Economic Revival
The Indian economy is currently caught in a vicious spiral of inflation, stagnation, and awidening of the fiscal deficit. And this spiral is set to become even more vicious becauseinter alia of developments in the world economy.Even before the current omicron wave, the rate of GDP growth projected by officialestimates for 2021-22 over the previous year was 9.2 per cent; butte previous year itself hadwitnessed a 7.3 per cent contraction because of the pandemic. Hence even if the officialprojection turns out to be true, the GDP in 2021-22 would be higher than in 2019-20 by only1.22 per cent, i.e., India would barely recapture its2019-20-level GDP in 2021-22; butbecause of the omicron virus, even this would not happen and our current year GDP is likelyto still remain below that of 2019-20.Moreover, whatever recovery of real expenditure over 2019-20 has occurred in the currentyear has not been in the sphere of household and government consumption, which meansthat there have been additions to capacity in the interim, even as consumption has remainedlower than in 2019-20. This must entail a decrease in the degree of capacity utilisation, inwhich case the current tempo of investment will not be sustained. Hence the level of theinvestment itself will decline, which will further accentuate the decline in consumption(because of the multiplier) so that even this level of GDP growth relative to 2019-20 will notbe sustained.Thus, the recovery we are witnessing, apart from being utterly meagre, is not evensustainable. Some call it a K-shaped recovery as opposed to a V-shaped one; but whateverit is called, it is clearly a recovery constricted by reduced purchasing power in the hands ofthe people.There are however two distinct factors operating here. One is pandemic-specific: during thepandemicinduced lockdown when the working people had no incomes but had to survivewithout any help from the government, they got into debt. When some recovery occurs andthey start getting some income, one of their first priorities naturally is to pay back the debt,for which they economise on consumption. The multiplier effect of investment andgovernment expenditure, therefore, becomes much less than is usual, and such restrictedconsumption pulls down investment. This alone would be enough to push the economy intoa stunted recovery unless the government either spends extra amounts to compensate forthis or puts purchasing power in the hands of the people through transfer payments thathave been widely demanded by political parties, academics and civil society organisations.The second factor is quite independent of the pandemic and has to do with the fiscalstrategy of the government that was evident even before the pandemic. This strategyconsists in giving tax concessions to the rich, in the name of stimulating investment, andbalancing such concessions through a rise in indirect taxes on the working people, so thatthe fiscal deficit does not widen any further and international finance capital is kept happy. The Modi government did away with the wealth tax in 2016; admittedly it was not fetchingmuch revenue even then, but doing away with it was a signal. Then, in 2019 thegovernment, through an ordinance reduced the corporate tax rate from 30 per cent to 22 percent. The revenue foregone through such measures was sought to be recovered throughhigher indirect taxes, notably on petro-products. Let us look at the implications of such astrategy.Let us for simplicity assume that the fiscal deficit is zero to start with and that this is thetarget that finance capital wants India to maintain. If the government gives away Rs 100 byway of corporate tax concessions and wants to raise an exactly equal amount throughindirect taxes on a range of goods consumed by the working people, then this immediatelyraises the prices of such goods; i.e., inflation immediately follows. Since the money incomesof the working people have not increased, they will consume less of these goods since theirreal purchasing power has gone down. Because of such reduced consumption, unsoldstocks will pile up, and to liquidate such stocks, the output will be cut. Hence inflationaryrecession will be the immediate fall-out of this fiscal strategy.But with the reduction in output, the tax revenue raised through indirect taxation will be lessthan Rs 100, so there will still remain - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara a fiscal deficit compared.

Former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh has in his fresh bail plea cited the statements given by dismissed Mumbai police officer Sachin Vaze before Justice KU Chandiwal enquiry commission, taking a complete U-Turn and denying that he collected money for the Nationalist Congress Party leader or handed any cash to his office staff.The Enforcement Directorate (ED) registered the money-laundering case against Deshmukh on May 11, 2021, on the basis of an April 21 First Information Report (FIR) of the Central Bureau of Investigation

Agency News: New Delhi Almost five months after Rafa Nadal posted a photograph of himself on crutches after a medical procedure, the 35-yearold Spanish great is within range of his most improbable triumph. Nadal, who will play Daniil Medvedev in the Australian Open final on Sunday, will become the first man to win 21 Grand Slam titles if he defeats the Russian in Melbourne.On the
court alone, it is an immense task. Medvedev is a decade younger. He is a dominant player on hard courts and also won their most recent clash at the ATP Finals in 2020.“If I’m not able to play at my top level, (I) simply will be no chance,” Nadal said.But the fact that he has a chance at all is remarkable when one considers a photograph of Nadal from September on the day Medvedev was booking a spot in the U.S. Open final.Nadal posted.

However, the world champion found a way to pose some problems for his opponent and after Gujrathi’s mistake on move 28, won a rook endgame. But an error by the Norwegian.

The Olympian, who squeezed into the weekend rounds right on the cutline may well have improved his position but for a disappointing finish that saw him drop three bogeys in the last five holes after starting from the tenth.

Since then, she has often taken shared glimpses from her wedding festivities and the after-party. For some reason, this was deemed ‘excessive’ by a certain section of social media users.Speaking to The Indian Express recently, Ankita reacted to the criticism that came her way. “Meri shaadi hai, main nahi dalungi toh kaun
daalega (It was my wedding if I don’t post, who will?),” she said. She added that a few people “are just jealous and negative and can never be happy for others”. The Pavitra Rishta actor also opened up about adjusting to her new married life. Talking about her equation with her husband Vicky, she said, “We have been friends for a very long time. We just got married and are still getting into our ‘husband and wife’ roles. I think it will take time for us to understand how well this car drives ahead.”In a recent interview, Ankita had talked about her reservations about doing bold or intimate scenes as Vicky was uncomfortable with it. “That is me who I am and it has always been my choice. I feel I can’t do such scenes. But of course, after marriage I don’t feel just me, I feel even Vicky has a few reservations, there are things which even he can’t do now.
Ananya Panday, who made her debut with Karan Johar’s production venture, Student of the Year 2, has once again collaborated with him for Gehraiyaan. The film, which has been directed by Shakun Batra, also stars Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Dhairya Karwa. It will release on Amazon Prime Video on February 11. Free Press Journal caught up with the actress for an exclusive conversation. Excerpts:Your role in Gehraiyaan is a mature character compared to other films. Can it be considered a bold role?I don’t think I would like to use the word bold. It is definitely challenging. This is the most emotionally mature and fleshed out character. I was nervous when the script was narrated. I had no doubt at all, but my first thought was I want to do it. But I was just thinking about how I will do it. I have got a chance to have the script. We were very nervous. We did a lot of workshops and also had discussions with Shakun before we got on to it. I was comfortable, thanks to my co-actors.Why was Shakun always on your list of directors to work with?I liked his films like Kapoor & Sons because it is not always about the happy ending; Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu also left it to the audiences to decide. Just like in Kapoor & Sons, so many family problems remained unresolved in real life, and still, he was okay with that. So what I liked was that these films were very relatable as an audience. Shakun’s work is not glossy, nor is it like a fairy tale. In Kapoor & Sons, that plumber’s scene... Such things happen at my place too. While working with Shakun in Gehraiyaan, we had to be natural; there were no heavy dialogues or monologue.

Shava Ni Girdhari Lal review: A snooze fest by Gippy Grewal that is adapted from Raj Kapoor’s classic Mera Naam Joker Agency News: Mumbai Supposed to be the most ambitious film of singer-turned actor-director Gippy Grewal, Shava Ni Girdhari Lal also remains the weakest amongst his three directorial projects to date. Completely relying upon his lead role with no major supporting characters in the script, the film features six actresses of the Punjabi film industry,
namely Neeru Bajwa, Himanshi Khurana, Payal Rajput, Tanu Grewal, Surilie Gautam, and Sara Gurpal, with a sweet cameo of Yami Gautam. The actresses perform well as per the need of the subject, but Gippy’s performance of a simple villager looking for a girl to marry, unfortunately, remains a forced act throughout the two hours of duration One continuously realises he is making a sincere effort with an
accent, which remains the key reason the character is unable to establish any emotional relationship with the viewers. Besides, in his third directorial venture, Gippy yet again comes up with a clever adaptation of a cult Hindi film that also didn’t work in its initial release. Gippy’s first film Ardaas (2016), took its basic story idea from Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Bawarchi, with the servant turned into a teacher
visiting a village. His second, Ardaas Karaan (2019), again took its seed from Mukherjee’s Anand with the lead character suffering from a terminal illness. In the present film, Gippy follows the basic story idea of a simpleton trying to impress multiple girls in desperation to get married, facing continuous rejection for various reasons. In the end, he sends a letter to each one of them, inviting them to a particular.
