ADITI NAGAR olitics changes with each passing year and with that the ‘Kathni-Karni’ of self proclaimed ‘leaders’ changes as well. Thus, the people start loosing their faith and trust in such politicians. However, there seldom comes a leader whose politics influences not just the party but an entire region, whose reach is far beyond his own territory, into the hearts of the people of far away regions too and such a leader can only come when one is genuinely an altruistic person. Such leaders are those who stand the test of time, the penultimate measure of a leader’s sincerity and commitment to people. And one such leader is Ra- jasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, who, through his sheer will and grit, has not only become a national leader of Congress party, but also a leader who brings about various sections together and whose policies and schemes pro- vide a soothing balm to each and every human. Today , marks the 72nd year in the life of ‘Marawar’s Gandhi’ Ashok Gehlot, who, it appears, is going to create history by becoming a four-time CM of the desert State! In fact, Gehlot’s recent experiment of organising ‘Mehangai Rahat Camp’ at grassroot level may prove a game changer in his entire ‘comeback exercise’. But reaching this milestone was never easy . A leader has to go through several ups and downs in his life as politician and yet continue on the desired path, without being perturbed by the downs or lows of the political sphere. Starting from his college days, CM Ashok Gehlot has effectively spent 50 years in public life, a no minor feat. As the 3-time Chief Minister of Ra- jasthan, Gehlot has presented a popular Budget to every class and revolutionary announcements were made in the budget.Heimplementedmanyschemesinthe StateamongwhichOPSisoneof themost powerfulplan,which,ironically ,hasbeen followed upon by the BJP government as well! Wherever elections are held, this scheme is included in the Congress manifesto and in the upcoming Karnataka pollstoo,theBJPgovernmenthasformed a committee for this scheme. The ‘simplistic leader’ that Gehlot is, he always celebrates his birthday in a muted tone and this time he has cho- sen to celebrate with the tribals of Rajasthan from Udaipur division. But the underlying question remains. Why does he take such pains for them? Not because he is representing a political party, not merely because he holds a con- stitutional office and definitely not because he wants to earn and make a name for himself; but because there is an underlying zeal for the betterment of the state and to such a large-hearted in- dividual and ‘leader’ of the State, First In- dia says, “Happy Birthday Mr CM!” P ND

Bhupender Yadav @byadavbjp SPIRITUAL SPEAK Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom. —Buddha TOP TWEETS ven as in an Instagram video, To- kyo Olympics bronze medalist Bajrang Punia had accused the DelhiPoliceof cuttingelectricity and ration supplies at the wres- tlersprotestatJantarMantar,the DelhiPolicefiledtwoFIRsagainst Brijbhushan on Friday – one per- tained to allegations of a minor wrestler and was registered under the POCSO Act, and the second on the complaints of the women wrestlers. The wrestlers have, however, promised to keep theirprotestsonuntilheiseither sent to jail or the investigation is completed, leaving the endgame of this stir uncertain. The next court hearing will be on May 5. Earlier, speaking to his followers, Punia claimed that the Del- hi Police have cut off electricity, barricaded the protest site and isn’t allowing food and water and have asked the wrestlers to end their protest after Delhi Po- lice registered two FIRs against Wrestling Federation of India president and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused of sexual harassment and criminal intimida- tion by seven women wrestlers. However,itwasheart-wrench- ing to see how legendary PT Usha had “reacted” or how some of the top names in the country’s sports fraternity who actually matter, chose to remain silent even when the women wrestlers were protesting for the second time in Delhi this year, reiterating their allegations of sexual harassment and intimi- dation by WFI chief Brij Bhush- an Sharan Singh. PT Usha, who is also a Rajya Sabha MP , on Thursday came down heavily on the wrestlers whohadresumedtheirprotest.In astatement,PTUshahadsaidthe wrestlers’protestonthestreetsis “tarnishing” India’s image. She said the protest by the elite wrestlers equates to “indiscipline”. “Wrestlers staging protests on streets amounts to indiscipline. Wrestlers’ protest on streets is tarnishing the image of India,” PT Usha said after the IOA’s Ex- ecutive Committee meeting. It may be recalled that in Feb- ruary this year, Legendary ath- leteandIndianOlympicAssocia- tion (IOA) president P T Usha broke down before the media al- leging that illegal constructions were being carried out at her academy campus in Kozhikode district and strangers were tres- passing into the property posing a security threat to the inmates. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi, she said those at the Usha School of Ath- letics had been facing such harassment and security issues for some time and it has intensified after she became the Rajya Sab- ha Member. Notwithstanding the fact that the sprint-queen may have felt extremely bad on that day after having brought so many laurels for the country, her comments on the protesting wrestlers against alleged sexual harassment had sent shock ripples across the nation. People across walks of life were shocked to see how a former Olympian could make such a statement? But on Friday , the protesting womenwrestlersfoundgoodsup- portfromOlympicgoldmedallist Neeraj Chopra and called for “quick action” from the authori- tiesinordertoensurethatjustice is served. Taking to Twitter, Chopra called the issue, “sensitive”. He went on to say , “It hurts me to see our athletes on the streets demanding justice. They have worked hard to represent our great nation and make us proud.Asanation,wearerespon- sible for safeguarding the integ- rity and dignity of every individ- ual, athlete or not. What’s happening should never happen.” SANIA SUPPORT A BOOST Also, ace tennis player Sania Mirza backed the wrestlers’ protest. “As an athlete but more as a woman this is too difficult to watch… They’ve brought laurels to our country and we have all celebrated them ... if you have done that then it’s time to now stand with them in this difficult time too... This is a highly sensitive matter and serious allegations. I hope whatever the truth is justice is served… soon- er rather than later,” she urged. But till the time this article was written, the biggies of In- dian cricket like Sachin Ten- dulkar, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had not mentioned a word to boost the morale of the protesting women wrestlers. It may be recalled that Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Anil Kumble,SureshRainaweresome of the renowned names from the Indian cricket fraternity who tweeted on farmers’ protest and hence the entire country expected top cricketers to stand with the protesting women wrestlers especially when the matter is a very sensitive one. THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL WRESTLERS’ PROTEST NOW, BRIJ’S TUKDE GANG SHOCKER; PT USHA ON MAT OVER ‘TARNISH IMAGE’ COMMENT I WOULD RESIGN IF PARTY ASKS ME TO..., SAYS BRIJ BHUSHAN E ROBIN ROY The writer is Senior Journalist and former Managing Editor, First India WFI president and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has been accused by female wrestlers of sexual harassment, on Monday said that he would resign ‘if his party asked him to’. “If my party asks me to resign, I will resign...Forces involved in ‘Tukde Tukde gang’, Shaheen Bagh, ‘Kisaan Andolan’ seem to be involved in it (Wrestlers’ protest), I am not their target, party (BJP ) is their target, these athletes are paid. Pro- test is expanding like Shaheen Bagh, they want to divide UP and Haryana”, Singh told. Ear- lier in the day, Brij Bhushan had said that all activity in the sport had come to a standstill in the last four months due to protests by the country’s top wrestlers. AFTER JANUARY, WHY DID THE WRESTLERS RESUME THE DEMONSTRATION IN APRIL? The protesting wrestlers have cited delay from the government in releasing the report of the committee that looked into the allegations (of sexual harassment against Brij Bhushan), loss of faith in the committee, and the absence of action against Brij Bhushan, of which they had been assured in January. The protesting women wrestlers have also expressed unhappiness over the fact that the WFI had resumed its activities in spite of the ongoing probe, and have alleged that Brij Bhushan was still actively calling the shots, evidenced by the fact that the first national tournament since the controversy broke took place in his backyard in Gonda. WHAT ARE THE ACCUSATIONS? The wrestlers have alleged financial mismanagement and arbitrariness in the functioning of the WFI. But the gravest allegation has been that of sexual harassment. The complainants have cited inci- dents that took place as early as in 2012 to as recently as in 2022, and claimed some of them occurred at Brij Bhushan’s official MP’s bun- galow in the national Capital and during tournaments in India and abroad. One of the complainants, it was mentioned in the Supreme Court on Tuesday, is a minor. WHO IS BRIJ BHUSHAN? Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, has been a six-time MP, having won the Gonda Lok Sabha seat in 1991 and 1999, Balram- pur in 2004, and Kaiserganj in 2009, 2014, and 2019. He was a candidate of the BJP in all these elections except in 2009, when he won on an SP ticket. Hailing from Gonda, Brij, 66, according to his 2019 election affidavit, was named in the Babri Masjid demolition case. He has been involved with wrestling in several administrative roles — as president of WFI, vice-president of Asian Wrestling Federation, a member of the government’s Mission Olympic Cell. WHAT ARE THE DEMANDS? They want him to be arrested under the POCSO Act as one of the complainants is a minor. In January, the govt persuaded the protesting wrestlers to call off their protest by forming an Committee, which was tasked with looking into the allegations. The six-member panel led by Mary Kom, was given four weeks to come up with its findings. However, it submitted its report only in the first week of April. Govt declared ongoing process for WFI polls, scheduled for May 7 as null and void, instructed IOA to form an ad hoc committee that would conduct polls in 45 days, and also manage WFI’s day-to-day affairs until new members take charge.

Here the people have made up their mind that the Con- gress government has to be formed,” CM said. Chief Minister Ge- hlot said, “Due to the schemes and works, the Rajasthan government is being discussed in the whole country. We have implemented Chi- ranjeevi scheme of Rs 25 lakh insurance, gas cylinder for 500, 100 units of electricity free, Kamdhenu scheme for livestock, 125 days employment to people in cities and villages, Right to health, old pension scheme in Ra- jasthan. As soon as the government is formed in Karnataka, the schemes of Rajasthan will be implemented in Karnataka as well,” he said. Gehlot said that BJP does not have any model of development. “They have only one model to topple the elected governments through horse trading. There is a government of nationalist forces at the Centre who only wear the crown of democracy but have no faith in democracy and the Constitution,” he said. “As soon as the government was formed, we had made the election manifesto an official document in the first cabinet and till now we have fulfilled 90% of the promises. There is no difference between our words and actions,” he said. First India Bureau Kota: The second winning team of the ‘Sa- majh Sansad Ki’ competition held on the initiative of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla visited the Parliament on Tuesday . Along with this, the children saw the Azadi ke Deewane museum in the Red Fort and also got to know the glori- ous story of the free- dom fighters who sacri- ficed their lives for the country . 102 children from Etawah, Sangod, Khair- abad and Sultanpur blocks of Kota district visited the Parliament Library, Lok Sabha, Ra- jya Sabha and Central Hall in the Parliament House complex. The Central Hall at- tracted the students the most during the excursion. The students also learned about the por- traits of great leaders of the country dis- played here. During the visit, the students also met Birla who congratulated them for getting this op- portunity. He said that in the ‘amrit kaal’ of the country, all the children should set a goal for themselves for the future. “We have to take In- dia to new heights,” he said. The third batch of the winners will leave for New Delhi on May 9. This team will have girls from Etawah, Sul- tanpur, Khairabad and Sangod areas. The team will visit the Parliament and other monuments of national importance in Delhi on May 10. Jaipur: On behalf of the Rajasthan Nurses Asso- ciation, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s birthday will be celebrated today at Birla Audito- rium wherein a blood donation camp will be organised. Organizing Committee Chairman Dr Shashikant Sharma, Convenor Narendra Singh Shekhawat, and Co-convenor Mithlesh Tak informed that nursing officers, employees and students will donate blood in the blood donation camp. In the meanwhile, a mega blood donation camp will be organised at Saket hospital in Jaipur’s Mansarovar area from 9 am to 3 pm today.

Om Birla interacts with the 2nd batch of winners of ‘Samajh Sansad Ki’ competition at the Parliament House on Tuesday. z Your OPS scheme in Rajasthan proved to be a game changer in Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections too. Now this scheme is playing on voters’ minds in other States as well. How do you see that? OPS was an issue there is no two ways about it. Now we have demand- ed from PM Narendra Modi to bring about the Right to Social Securi- ty Act and pass it in the House. Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Nyay scheme’ wherein people would have been provided Rs 6,000 per month, we have asked him to bring that in a law and pass it. Every needy person has the right to live, and to raise a family. That is why I think that the social security is such a thing. We are giving pension to one crore people. Some states are giving it less, some are giving more money in it. My thought is that everyone in India should get Nyay. We brought Right to Health and PM Modi could take a step in this direc- tion since there is immense poverty in the nation. people’s financial status is extremely bad and treatment costs have sky-rocket- ed, the medicines have become expensive and PM should address this issue. z You said that assembly elections should be contested on local issues. But BJP is polarising the situation. What would you like to say about that? See the local issues are of good governance. They (BJP) do not have that neither in Karna- taka or in other states where BJP is in power or in Centre. Why should we go on the issues they are creating. We will follow what we are focussing on. We will make the public trust us that ultimately our thought is for your betterment and for the development of the state and so you should cast vote keeping that aspect in mind. z You have claimed that Congress is winning in Karnataka. Do you think this will be a revival for Con- gress and specially in the general elections, it will have an effect? Definitely. If we win here then there will be effect on states like Ra- jasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and other states. And a message will go in the nation that it is in public interest that Con- gress wins. If we win here then it will teach a lesson to BJP. They will hold a post-mortem for the loss they incur and perhaps they may bring about a positive change and the nation will get benefit of that. That is why, I think the people should vote for Con- gress. z So will this be a game changer in Ra- jasthan? Like I said, there is an immense chance of the government getting repeated in Rajasthan. Wherever I have gone, I have seen this. But specially this time among the youth, in conjunc- tion with the elderly and all sections. There is ex- traordinary enthusiasm in the public.

It takes hard work, determination and a story worth telling to truly capture the heart of the judges and au- dience alike. One such beauty who has been mak- ing waves with her journey is the stunning Sana Yadav. When asked about her inspiration for entering the beauty pageant industry, Sana shared that her moth- er was the driving force behind her decision to compete. She explained, “It’s her will and my hard work which has brought me here, and she is my motivation.” The diva also noted that while she has been modeling for two years and has made a name for herself in the Marathi industry, MTD was her first national pageant. As we delved deeper into the qualities necessary for a successful beauty pageant contestant, the gorgeous Sana emphasized the importance of being “fearless” and “unstop- pable.” She shared, “Being a part of such a prestigious platform will surely have many challenges coming with the commitment of being people’s queen, and she surely needs to be fearless to face every chal- lenge and make her country proud.” Maintaining a healthy mindset and self-esteem is crucial for any pageant contestant, and the ravishing diva shared that she balances the physical demands of pageant preparation, such as diet and exercise, with a positive mindset. “I know the importance of being fit, thus I never miss my workouts. With that, I thor- oughly take care of my diet, which not only is healthy but provides me with energy ,” she explained. One of the most impressive aspects of Sana’s work is her dedication to promoting diversity and inclusivity . She noted, “The true beauty of pageants lies in the diversity .” As a model, she always strives to represent these values in her work. She added, “I always tend to create a positive change through my work, be it acting or modeling.” When asked about her goals in the industry and how she plans to use her platform to make a positive impact on so- ciety, the gorgeous lady expressed a desire to inspire young girls to be fearless and pursue their dreams. She shared, “I want them to say as they look up to me, ‘if she can do it, I can do it too.’” Sana plans to use her platform to motivate each and every girl to be herself and follow her dreams. Criticism is an inevitable part of life, and Yadav shared that she handles it with resil- ience and confidence. She said, “Life is about learning. No matter if I fail or lose or get any sort of criticism, I gather back all my energy, I get up, and I fight and I succeed.” The diva expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Nikhil Anand and Jagdeesh Chandra for supporting her in her journey . With her unwavering dedication to her craft and her commitment to promoting inclusivity and diversity , Sana is a force to be reckoned with in the beauty pageant industry, and we can’t wait to see what she a c c o m - plishes next.

YOUR DAY Horoscope by Saurabbh Sachdeva R a i n b o w s form when sun- light from behind you hits millions of tiny round water droplets in front of you and bounces back to your eyes. As a sunbeam hits a droplet at an angle, it bends into the water and separatesoutintoaspec- trum of colors. Scien- tists call the bending of light “refracting.” The colors separate because each“color”of lighttrav- els with a different speed in water, or, for that matter, any trans- parent material that light can travel through, like glass in a prism. When the colors hit the back wall of the water droplet, the angle is now too shallow for themtobendoutintothe air, so they reflect back into the water droplet and return to its en- trance wall. From there, the colors can bend out again into air and reach your eye. As you look at these droplets, the different colors happen to bunch up at a slightly different angles, and each color formsthecircularrimof a cone with your eye at the tip of the cone. And, voila, you have your own personal rainbow. The droplets that send the colors to your eye cannotsendthemtoany- one else, so even though everyone near you sees the same rainbow at a distance, each person really sees their own slightly different rainbow. It’s all in the eye of the beholder. For rainbows to form, the shape of the water droplets has to be very close to a sphere for all of them to bend and reflect the colors in har- mony . This happens for verysmalldroplets,such as a fine mist, or just after a rain shower when the air is just moist. As the droplets get larger, gravity distorts their shape and the rainbow vanishes. A rainbow is not phys- ically present where it appears to be, similar to your image in a mirror. So, I’m sorry to say that you can never actually reach your rainbow. And, alas, nobody can ever find that pot of gold. But you can create your own rainbow. O ne experiment you can try in summer is to turn on a sprinkler hose using the “mist” setting. Remember to have the sun behind you. If you create a fine mist screen in front of you and look at your shadow, you might see a rainbow. It is not difficult to see colors, but to see a full circle, you will needsomepatienceandpractice, just like scientists. So next time you are on an airplane, grab the window seat. If you are flying a little above the cloud cover, keep a lookout for the small shadow of your plane on the clouds. That means the sun is behind you. The clouds are tiny water droplets, so chances are you may see a small circle of color around the shadow of the aeroplane. This phenomenon is nicknamed “pilot’s glory,” because pilots who fly all the time and have a good view from the cockpit have a better chance of seeing it. he legend goes that there is a pot of gold hidden at the end of every rainbow. But is there really an “end” to a rainbow, and can we ever get to it? Most us go through life seeing rainbows only as arches of color in the sky, but that’s only half of what is really a circle of color. Normally, when you look at a rainbow, the Earth’s ho- rizon in front of you hides the bottom half of the circle. But if you are standing on a mountain where you can see both above and below you, and the sun is behind you and it is misty or has just rained, chances are good that you will see more of the rainbow’s circle. To see the full circle, however, you will have to be in an airplane, literally above the clouds. Or you could create your own rainbow. I am a physicist, and I’ll explain how to do that in a minute. How to create and see a circular rainbow One experiment you can try in summer is to turn on a sprinkler hose using the “mist” setting. Remember to have the sun behind you.
