State CM Eknath

ny. Koshyari, who
served as the Maharash-
tra governor from Sep-
tember 2019, resigned
last week after a contro-
versial tenure.

pointed as the new Gov-
ernor of Maha when

ernor of Tripura.
WHO IS RAMESH BAIS?
Born on August 2, 1947,
Ramesh Bais served as
a minister of state during
the Vajpayee government.
Bais has been a Member
of Parliament seven times.
He started his political
career as an BJP worker and
also served as the MLA of
Madhya Pradesh before the
bifurcation of Chhattisgarh
from Madhya Pradesh. He is
known as a leader who has
not lost a single election.
STARTING FROM RAIPUR
IN CHHATTISGARH
Ramesh Bais has represent-
ed the Raipur constituency
in Chhattisgarh. He was first
elected to Raipur Municipal
Corporation in 1978. After
this, the graph of his political
career went up. He was
a member of the Madhya
Pradesh Legislative Assem-
bly from 1980 to 1984. In
1989, he became a Member
of Parliament for the first
time from the Raipur Lok
Sabha constituency of the
then united Madhya Pradesh
(now Chhattisgarh). After
that he represented the Lok
Sabha for seven consecutive
terms. He is considered
close to LK Advani. For this
reason, his supporters say
that his ticket was denied in
the 2019 elections.

victories, his ticket was cut
in 2019. But as soon as the

First India Bureau
Pune: Evenasshecalled
the Election Commis-
sion’s decision to allot
the Shiv Sena name and
symbol to the faction led
by Eknath Shinde “sur-
prising and disappoint-
ing”, Nationalist Con-
gress Party (NCP) MP
Supriya Sule echoed her
father Sharad Pawar’s
advice to Uddhav Thack-
eray to “start from the
beginning”.
“It is very unfortu-
nate that this decision
has come. This party
was started by Balasa-
heb Thackeray and his
wish was that Uddhav
Thackeray should run
it, so that should have
been the decision,” she
said.
However, she was
also quick to point out
that the EC’s decision
is not likely to have
much effect on voter
sentiments.
“When the NCP was
formed there was no so-
cial media but all the
leaders worked hard.
Within a few weeks the
symbol reached every
home in Maharashtra
and we won and came to
power. So, I am not look-
ing at it as a very big
challenge, even if it is
disappointing,”shesaid.
She pointed to Raj
Thackeray’s Maharash-
tra Navnirman Sena
(MNS) as an example of
how Shinde could have
handled the situation
better.
“When Raj Thacker-
ay left the party, he did
not grab the party. He
started on his own. So,
that was an option eve-
rybody had. But to grab
this party in the way
the whole thing has
happened is very sad,
and disappointing,” she
added.
On Friday, after the
EC announced its deci-
sion, NCP chief Sharad
Pawar had advised his
ally to move on. He re-
called the Congress
having to change its
symbol from two bull-
ocks with a yoke to
hand and said that the
people would accept
Thackeray’s new sym-
bol just as they had ac-
cepted the Congress’s
hand.
“I remember Indira
Gandhi also faced this
situation. Congress
used to have a ‘two bull-
ocks with a yoke’ sym-
bol. Later, when they
lost it and adopted the
‘hand’ as their new
symbol, people accept-
ed it. Similarly, people
will accept (Udhhav
Thackeray’s) new sym-
bol,” he said.
First India Bureau
Mumbai: A day after
sion (EC) recognized
the rival faction led by
Eknath Shinde as the
real Shiv Sena, Uddhav
Thackeray on Satur-
day asked his support-
ers to teach a lesson to
the “thief ” who stole
the party’s “bow and
arrow” symbol.
Addressing party
workers outside the
Thackeray residence
Matoshree in suburban
Bandra from a car with
a sunroof, he said they
should start preparing
for elections.
The EC decision,
which deprived Uddhav
of the control of the
party founded by his fa-
ther late Bal Thackeray
in 1966, came at a time
when elections to the
Brihanmumbai Munic-
ipal Corporation (BMC)
are long due.
Thackeray said the
Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) and Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi
should know that they
will never be able to fin-
ish off the Shiv Sena
despite using the state
machinery which has
become their slave.
“Are you scared? I
have nothing to give
you now,” he asked the
gathering.
His supporters shout-
ed back that they were
not, and asked him to
give directions for the
next move.
“We should not rest
till we teach the thief a
lesson in elections.
Start preparing for elec-
tions immediately,”
said Thackeray who
had to resign as Maha-
rashtra Chief Minister
last June.
Maha Shivratri fell
on Saturday and Shiv
Jayanti or birth anni-
versary of Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj was on
Sunday, and this time
was chosen “to rob the
Shiv Sena’s name and
symbol”, Thackeray
said. Never before the
EC had awarded the
symbol and party name
to one faction in such
disputes and the symbol
was always put under a
freeze in such situa-
tions, Thackeray said.
“But the PM’s slaves
have done it now,” he al-
leged. The present elec-
tion commissioner may
become the governor of
a state after retirement,
Thackeray claimed.
“People will decide to
whom the Shiv Sena be-
longs,” he said.

He claimed that
their group had given
proof of “24 lakh mem-
bers”, while the Shin-
de team had shown
“only four lakh” mem-
bers. “Even though
there is a huge strength
in the organisation,
the verdict was given
in favour of the Shinde
faction. We will go to
the court of people and
the verdict will be in

EC’S DECISION AN ACT OF ‘POLITICAL

Mumbai (PTI): Shiv Sena –Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray
faction leader Sanjay Raut on Saturday slammed the
Election Commission (EC) for its move to recognize the
faction led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as the real
Shiv Sena. He termed its decision as a form of political
violence aimed at finishing off the party. He also said
that all political parties need to ask the poll watchdog the
definition of a political party. “The EC order is a form of
political violence to finish off the Shiv Sena and it is an

2018 amendments to Sena
constitution sent to EC: Sawant
First India Bureau
Mumbai: Shiv Sena –
Uddhav Balasaheb
Thackeray leader
Arvind Sawant on Sat-
urday disputed the
Election Commission’s
claim that amendments
to the party constitu-
tion carried out in 2018
were not on its record.
While recognizing
the faction led by
Eknath Shinde as the
real Shiv Sena, the EC
on Friday said the Ud-
dhav Thackeray faction
relied heavily on the
2018 constitution to
stake claim to the poll
symbol and the organi-
zation. It reasoned that
the poll panel had not
been informed about
these amendments.
“Minutes of the meet-
ing and its proceedings
along with a video were
submitted to the com-
mission on April 04,
2018 by party leader
Anil Desai,” Sawant,
MP from Mumbai
South, told reporters.
“How can the poll
body say it was not in-
formed?” he asked.
In its order, the EC,
also noted that the 2018
amendments undid the
democratic norms in-
troduced in the party
constitution of 1999 at
the instance of the
Commission.

HELP MUMBAI BREATHE
First India Bureau
Mumbai: At a time
when Mumbai is sur-
passing New Delhi to
snag the dubious hon-
our of India’s most pol-
luted city
, the civic body
is ramping up meas-
ures to control air pol-
lution. In the city budg-
et for financial year
2023-24 presented on
February 04, the Bri-
hanmumbai Municipal
Corporation has allot-
ted Rs25 to improve air
quality in the city
.
The budget also in-
cludes five proposed
measures to tackle road
dust, which studies
show is one of the ma-
jor contributors to air
pollution here. These
include: Mechanical/ e-
powered sweepers to
settle the dust on roads,
sprinklers to settle the
dust on roads and pave-
ments, vehicle-mounted
misting equipment, ve-
hicle-mounted air-puri-
fication units, and ioni-
zation-based air purifi-
cation system for dust
settlement.
The BMC has ear-
marked Rs10 crore for
five vehicle-mounted
air purification units
at the city’s most
crowded areas by the
end of the fiscal. These
would “filter out Par-
ticulate Matter (PM)
2.5 and 10 and harmful
gases such as carbon
monoxide and nitro-
gen dioxide,” accord-
ing to a report in the
Times of India.
Road dust refers to
solidparticlesgenerated
during the handling and
processing of road con-
structionmaterialssuch
asgravelandconcrete.It
is also generated from
turbulence due to pass-
ing traffic, particularly
inareaswithhightraffic
volume where road sur-
face erosion and tyre
wear and tear is high.
This leads to re-suspen-
sion of loose particles,
which become airborne,
according to a report in
The Indian Express.
Road dust in Mumbai
has doubled over the
past decade, it adds.
With this in mind,
BMC has proposed a few
additional steps—such
as ensuring that vehi-
cles wash their tyres be-
fore leaving a construc-
tion site, and ensuring
that construction debris
in covered when being
transported offsite—
curb road pollution, the
report also says.
In its budget for
2023-2024, civic

measures to
tackle road dust,

Twitter suicide watch: Cops
track at-risk man from thread
First India Bureau
Mumbai: Days after
they foiled a techie’s
plan to take his life after
being alerted to his on-
line search for “pain-
less suicides”, the
Mumbai police tracked
down a debt-ridden
24-year-old man from
Chunabhatti hours af-
ter he tweeted that he
was planning to end his
life, officials said on
Saturday
.
The cops traced the
man to Karjat in Raigad
district, and reached
out to him for counsel-
ling, an official said.
The crime branch
came across the man’s
Twitter thread on Fri-
day evening. In a series
of messages, he said
that he used to sell
‘chikki’, a sweet made
from nuts and jaggery
or sugar, on trains but
had suffered losses and
several setbacks in his
business ventures. He
also said he was deep in
debt and was planning
to take his life.
The crime branch
alerted the cyber team
of Mumbai police that
gathered his contact de-
tails and got in touch
with him.
“Around 5 am today,
we picked him up from
Karjat and brought
him to our cyber de-
partment at BKC for
counselling. We learnt

First India Bureau
Mumbai: The Bombay
High Court has grant-
ed an interim stay on
demolition notices is-
sued to over 100 tene-
ments situated around
Kolhapur’s Vishalgarh
Fort.
The court has grant-
ed the stay until March
10 and sought informa-
tion from the govern-
ment on whether there
is a policy dealing with
old settlements within
a protected monument.
The petitioner’s
counsel Pradnya Tale-
kar contended that
some of the tenements
that have received the
notice were even regu-
larized. The bench led
by Justice GS Patel told
the State to justify
these regularizations.
According to the peti-
tioners, they have been
in possession of their
homes for over three to
six decades.
These notices were
issued by the Depart-
ment of Archaeology
under Section 21 (2) of
the Maharashtra An-
cient Monuments and
Archeological Sites Re-
mains Act, 1960 stating
that demolition would
be carried out within
30 days.
On February 05, it
was reported that the
state government allot-
ted the administration
in Kolhapur Rs1 crore
to get these “encroach-
ments” near Vishal-
garh fort removed.
Some petitioners
have even claimed that
some right wing organ-
izations have a part to
play in these sudden
notices being issued.
The Kolhapur Dis-
trict Collector Rahul
Rekhawar had assured
people that the “en-
croachments” would be
removed before Ma-
hashivratri on Febru-
ary 18, it was reported
earlier. The Vishalgarh
Conservation Commit-
tee had issued a warn-
ing to the administra-
tion that if they were
not successful in re-
moving these “en-
croachments” before
Mahashivratri, they
would remove them on
their own.
In his order dated
February 08, Justice
GS Patel had granted a
stay on demolitions to
be carried out by the
Western Railways
stressing upon the need
for rehabilitation of
those displaced.

DISCOURAGING
THE PRACTICE OF
SEALED COVER
JURISPRUDENCE
hile hearing a peti-
tion in the Gautam
Adani-Hindenburg
case, the Supreme
Court declined to ac-
cept Centre’s suggestion for
those who could form part of a
panel to suggest changes to SEBI
for protecting investors. In a
laudable decision the court also
did not accept names put forth
by the petitioners in the case. A
bench headed by the Chief Jus-
tice of India DY Chandrachud
said that the court wanted to
maintain full transparency and
said it will itself choose persons
for the panel. In November 2022
also Justice Chandrachud re-
fused to accept a suggestion in a
sealed envelope. In March last
year even Justice NV Ramana,
the former CJI, had declined to
accept any suggestion from the
government in an envelope.
Encouraged by some CJI’s, the
government resorts to the prac-

W
y allotting the

and ‘bow and ar-

Eknath Shinde
faction on the basis of its ma-
jority as proved in the legisla-
ture the Election Commis-
sion may not have done any
wrong technically but the
decision appears to have
queered the pitch for Uddhav
Thackeray and his team.
Thackeray described the poll
panel’s decision as “danger-
ous for democracy” and said
he will take the battle to the
Supreme Court which is al-
ready hearing a petition
against its 2016 judgment in
the Nabam Rebia case arising
out of a decision by the Ma-
harashtra Assembly Speaker.
The Nationalist Congress
Party(NCP)presidentSharad
Pawar advised Thackeray to
accept the new name and
symbol which EC will now al-
lot. The advice makes sense.
For Thackeray, accepting
“Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena”
(BSS) and “two swords and
shield” as the party’s new
name and symbol may not be
difficult but he will be at a
clear disadvantage when vot-
ers press the button on the
EVM. It may not be as disap-
pointing as it appears be-
cause Balasaheb as prefix
will be a clear differentiator.
Supporters of the original
Shiv Sena should have no
problem in identifying his
party because of Balasaheb
(Thackeray’s) name. All that
Thackeray needs to do is to
undertake a massive cam-
paign to familiarise voters
with the change.
In Maharashtra the legacy
of late Balasaheb Thackeray
is probably still intact and
that should be taken advan-
tage of by the Uddhav camp.
Uddhav should rather focus
on the Rebia case which
Eknath Shinde camp wants
to be heard by a seven-judge.
FOR UDDHAV
ALL IS NOT LOST
By allotting the Shiv Sena
name and ‘bow and arrow’
symbol to the Eknath Shinde
faction on the basis of its
majority as proved in the
legislature the Election
Commission may not have
done any wrong technically but
the decision appears to have
queered the pitch for Uddhav

B
LETTERS EXCHANGED
BETWEEN NEHRU PATEL...
New Delhi
3 February 1948
My dear Vallabhbhai,
When Bapu was alive we had hoped to meet him together and discuss various
matters that had troubled us somewhat. You will remember our correspondence.
In my last letter I had expressed the hope that, inspite of certain differences of
opinion and temperament, we should continue to pull together as we had done for
so long. This was, I was glad to find, Bapu’s final opinion also.
Now, with Bapu’s death everything is changed and we have to face a differ-
ent and more difficult world. The old controversies have ceased to have much
significance and it seems to me that the urgent need of the hour is for all of us to
function as closely and co-operatively as possible. Indeed, there is no other way.
I have been greatly distressed by the persistence of whispers and rumours
about you and me, magnifying out of all proportions any differences we may have.
This has spread to foreign ambassadors and foreign correspondents; mischief-
makers take advantage of this and add to it. Even the Services are affected and
this is bad. We must put an end to this mischief.
It is over a quarter of a century since we have been closely associated with
one another and we have faced many storms and perils together. I can say with
full honesty that during this period my affection and regard for you have grown,
and I do not think my affection can happen to lessen this. Even our differences
have brought out the far greater points of agreement between us and the respect
we bear to each other. We have even learnt to agree to differ and yet carry on
together.
Anyway, in the crisis that we have to [face] now after Bapu’s death I think it
is my duty and, if I may venture to say, yours also for us to face it together as
friends and colleagues. Not merely superficially, but in full loyalty to one another
and with confidence in each other. I can assure you that you will have that from
me. If I have any doubt or difficulty I shall put it frankly to you, and I hope you will
do the same to me.
I had hoped to have a long talk with you, but we are so terribly pressed for time
that we can hardly see each other in private for long. Some time or other, soon
I hope, we shall have this talk and remove any misunderstandings or misappre-
hensions that may have arisen. Such talks are necessary from time to time. But
meanwhile I do not want to wait for this talk and hence this letter, which carries
with it my affection and friendship for you.
Yours affectionately
Jawaharlal
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
New Delhi
5 February 1948
My dear Jawaharlal,
I am deeply touched, indeed overwhelmed, by the affection and warmth of your
letter of 3 February. I fully and heartily reciprocate the sentiments you have so
feelingly expressed.
We both have been lifelong comrades in a common cause. The paramount
interests of our country and our mutual love and regard, transcending such dif-
ferences of outlook and temperament as existed, have held us together. Both of
us have stuck passionately to our respective points of view or methods of work;
still we have always sustained a unity of heart which has stood many a stress and
strains and which had enabled us to function jointly both in the Congress and in
the Government.
Recent events had made me very unhappy and I had written to Bapu when I
was going to Bombay appealing to him to relieve me, but his death changes eve-
rything and the crisis that has overtaken us must awaken in us a fresh realisation
of how much we have achieved together and the need for further joint efforts in
our grief-stricken country’s interest.
I had the good fortune to have a last talk with him for over an hour just before
his death and he communicated to me what had passed between you and him as
well as his talk with HE [Lord Mountbatten]. He had also fixed an appointment to
meet both of us the next day. His opinion also binds us both and I can assure you
that I am fully resolved to approach my responsibilities and obligations in this
spirit.
I agree with you that we must find more time for mutual consultations so that
we can keep each other informed of, and in touch with, what is happening and we
can thus resolve any points of difference that might arise.
We should also find an early opportunity to have a long talk and clear our
minds of any doubts and difficulties that may be there. Continued harping on
our differences in public or in private is bad for us, bad for the Services and Bad
for the country. The sooner we set this at rest once for all and clear the murky
atmosphere the better.
Yours
Vallabhbhai

INDIA
Washington (PTI):
The relationship be-
tween India and the US
is the “defining part-
nership” for the 21st
century, America’s for-
mer Ambassador to
the country Richard
Verma has told law-
makers and urged the
Senate to confirm the
next envoy to New Del-
hi at the earliest.
A strong advocate of
deepening Indo-US ties,
Verma played a key role
in the Congressional
passage of the civil nu-
clear deal. He was
sworn in as the US Am-
bassador to India in
2014, becoming the first
ever Indian-American
to hold the post. He
served as the US Am-
bassador to India from
2014 to 2017.
“I continue to believe
this is the defining
partnership for this
century. The relation-
ship is so consequen-
tial in so many ways,
and having a senior of-
ficial on the ground
that represents the
president makes a big
difference,” Verma told
members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Com-
mittee during his con-
firmation hearing for
Deputy Secretary of
State for Management
and Resources.

STRENGTHENING TIES
Sydney (PTI): Exter-
nal Affairs Minister S
Jaishankar, who is in
Australia, on Saturday
emphasised the need
for vigilance against
“radical activities” tar-
geting the Indian com-
munity in Australia
in the wake of vandal-
ism of Hindu temples
in the country by Khal-
istani supporters.
The External Affairs
Minister’s remarks
came during his meet-
ing with his Australian
counterpart Penny
Wong during which
they exchanged views
on a number of issues.
“Noted the forward
movement on our bilat-
eral agenda. Empha-
sized the need for vigi-
lance against radical
activities targeting the
Indian community,”
Jaishankar tweeted af-
ter the meeting.
The External Affairs
Minister’s comments
came in reference to the
recent vandalisation
of three Hindu temples
in the country
.
On January 23, the
management of the In-
ternational Society for
Krishna Consciousness
(ISKCON) temple also
known as the Hare
Krishna Temple in Mel-
bourne’s Albert Park
found the walls of the
revered temple vandal-
ised with graffiti “Hin-
dustan Murdabad”.
On January 16, the
historic Shri Shiva
Vishnu Temple in Car-
rum Downs, Victoria,
was vandalised in a
similar manner.
On January 12, the
Swaminarayan temple
in Melbourne was
defaced by ‘anti-social
elements’ with anti-In-
dia graffiti.
A prominent Hindu
temple in Australia this
week received threaten-
ing calls in which it was
asked to raise pro-Khal-
istani slogans if it
wanted to observe
Maha Shivratri peace-
fully which falls on Feb-
ruary 18.
India has already
asked the Australian
government to curb the
anti-India activities of
the Khalistani separa-
tists and also attacks on
the Hindu temples in
the country
.

Speaking at the 11th
general convention of

gress party to take a

contest the 2024 elec-
tion together.

Congress party, the
event was attended by
Congress leader Sal-
man Khurshid.
Speaking at the event
Congress leader Sal-
man Khurshid said, “I

Mumbai: Bharatiya Ja-
nata Party (BJP) leader
Subramanian Swamy
has filed a plea in the
Bombay High Court
challenging the Pand-
harpur Temples Act
(PTA) of 1973 after the
Maharashtra govern-
ment arbitrarily took
over the administration
of Pandharpur temple.
The plea claimed that
the Act violates funda-
mental rights under Ar-
ticle 14 of the Indian
Constitution.
“Even if the manage-
ment of a temple is tak-
en over to remedy the
evil, the management
must be handed over to
the person concerned
immediately after the
evil stands are reme-
died. Continuation of
take over after the evil
is remedied would be
tantamount to usurpa-
tion of proprietary
rights or violation of
fundamental rights
guaranteed by the Con-
stitution,” it stated.
The plea further said,
“By taking control over
the Pandharpur temple,
the state government
has ousted the rights of
Hindus to profess, prac-
tice, and propagate their
religion. (This has been
done) to manage Hindu
religious endowments
and their own affairs in
matters of religion.
The Act has negated
the freedom or autono-
my within the religious
community to manage
the temple, he asserted.
He, therefore, sought
striking down of the
Act.
He had also written
to the Governor of Ma-
harashtra praying that
the PTA be repealed.
After no action was tak-
en, he moved the court.
The PIL sought an
interim relief of con-
stituting a committee

Student death: IIT-B forms
panel for ‘parallel’ inquiry
First India Bureau
Mumbai: The Indian
Institute of Technology
Bombay (IIT-B) has
formed a panel to con-
duct a “parallel” in-
quiry into the death of
Darshan Solanki (18),
the first-year B. Tech
student who allegedly
jumped off the seventh
floor of a hostel build-
ing on the Powai cam-
pus to his death on
February 12.
Themovecomesamid
allegationsof castebias,
which the institute
staunchly denied in a
statement earlier. IIT-B
has now asked students
to come forward if they
have “relevant” infor-
mation on the alleged
suicide of the Sched-
uled-Caste student.
The panel is headed
by Professor Nand
Kishore and also has
SC/ST Students Cell
members, including
faculty and students, a
few student mentor co-
ordinators and the in-
charge chief medical
officer of IIT-B hospi-
tal, institute Director
Subhasis Chaudhuri
said in a statement on
Saturday
.
The Powai police are
already investigating
the issue, and have also
visited Solanki’s home
in Ahmedabad.
Highlighting that
Prof. Nand Kishore was
the chief vigilance of-
ficer of IIT-B until re-
cently and is experi-
enced “in these mat-
ters”, Chaudhari said
that the committee is
actively meeting every-
one who might have rel-
evant information.
IIT-B and the police
are actively investigat-
ing the “environment,
incidents, and reasons
behind Darshan’s trag-
ic death”, Chaudhari
said in the statement.
The police have inter-
viewed a large number
of people, and also tak-
en Solanki’s phone and
laptop for forensic anal-
ysis, he said.
Calling some media
reports about the stu-
dent's death “prema-
ture”, Chaudhari also
said that “as the matter
is sub-judice so we can-
not comment on the
causes until either the
police report or our in-
quiry committee report
is ready”.
Solanki’s family on
Wednesday had claimed
that he faced discrimi-
nation at the IIT-B for
belonging to an SC com-
munity and maintained
that there was a strong
possibility that he was
“murdered”. Gujarat
Congress MLA and
Dalit leader Jignesh
Mevani has demanded a
probe by a Special In-
vestigation Team into
Solanki’s death.

If you have any information that you
believe may be relevant, please reach

any of the committee members, or by emailing
Prof. Nand Kishore or to the Powai Police.

Pune: City police have
registered a first inci-
dent report (FIR)
against former state
minister for social jus-
tice Uttam Prakash
Khandare (65) after a
37-year-old woman filed
a complaint accusing
him of raping her at
knifepoint.
The woman told the
police that Khandare
had allegedly entered
into a relationship with
her in 2012 by promis-
ing to marry her. She
also said that Khandare
raped her at knife point,
and claimed that she
gave birth to a son after
the incident.
She further alleged
that Khandare and his
aides threatened to kill
her.
Based on her com-
plaint, police have
booked Khandare along
with his aides Mahadev
Bhosale, Dashrath Ga-
wali and a woman, un-
der sections 376, 377,
406, 420, 506 (2), 34 of the
Indian Penal Code.
Khandare was a Shiv
Sena MLA during 1994-
1999 from Solapur. He
was the minister for so-
cial justice and minis-
ter of state for sports in
the Sena-Bharatiya Ja-
nata Party government,
which was in power in
Maharashtra during
this period.
Rape case against

‘Why were Wadhawans not
arrested in Patra Chawl case?’
Mumbai (PTI): The
Bombay High Court on
Saturday asked the En-
forcement Directorate
(ED) why it never arrest-
ed the main accused in
the Patra Chawl redevel-
opment case while seek-
ing cancellation of bail
granted to Shiv Sena MP
Sanjay Raut.
Sanjay Raut and co-
accused Pravin Raut
were granted bail by a
special court for money
laundering cases on No-
vember 09, 2022, more
than a hundred days af-
ter they were arrested.
The ED moved the
HC against the bail the
same day and sought an
interim stay, but the HC
then refused to pass any
interim order.
On Saturday, Justice
NR Borkar held a spe-
cial sitting to hear the
ED’s plea.
The judge asked why
the central agency had
not arrested Sarang and
Rakesh Wadhawan, pro-
moters of the Housing
Development and Infra-
structure Ltd (HDIL)
whohavebeennamedas
the main accused.
Additional Solicitor
General Anil Singh, ap-
pearing for the ED, ar-
gued that the special
court took into consid-
eration irrelevant mate-
rial while grating bail.
“The judge has ex-
ceeded jurisdiction and
rendered a finding
against the predicate of-
fence. There are certain
observations which
were not required and
no one had even argued
that. Those are uncalled
for and not required,”
he said.
When Singh was
reading out charges
against Sarang and
Rakesh Wadhawan, the
court asked if the ED
had arrested the duo in
the present case.
AfterSinghsaidithad
not, the court stated,
“They are the main ac-
cused...If they are re-
leased on bail in sched-
uled offence, then what
happens?”
The court hearing will continue
on March 02.

FIRST INDIA SUNDAY SPECIAL
BY TRIDIB RAMAN
The author is a journalist and political
commentator and views expressed are his personal
BJP leader Mukhtar
Abbas Naqvi may
have lost his Rajya Sabha
membership, may have
lost his ministerial post,
but his spirits continue
to soar. When there is an
uproar over Ramcharit
Manas across the coun-
try, especially in states
like UP-Bihar, Naqvi has
decided to organise a
grand staging of ‘Jai
Shri Ram Ramayana’ in
Muslim-dominated areas,
especially in Rampur’s
Rathonda Kisan Mela.
On March 3, this grand
three-hour performance
based on Ramcharit
Manas will take place.
Many famous faces
from Ramanand Sagar’s
famous TV serial will be a
part of this staging, which
include actors like Puneet
Issar and Bindu Dara
Singh. In this Ramayana
staging, modern technol-
ogy and various contexts
of Shri Ramcharit Manas
are being powerfully
woven into one thread.
It should be noted that
in the same fair last
year, Naqvi staged the
Mahabharata as well. The
historic Shiva temple is
also situated here where
lakhs of people gather
for Jalabhishek on the
occasion of Mahashiv-
aratri. In fact, Naqvi also
performed Jalabhishek by
going to the Shiva temple
during the inauguration of
this fair on Thursday.
Ever since the country’s new President,
Droupadi Murmu stepped into the
Rashtrapati Bhavan, the atmosphere
there has changed. For the officers and
staff of Rashtrapati Bhavan, it is like a
cool breeze, as unlike her predecessors,
President Murmu has broken many
declared myths as soon as she came.
The staff of Rashtrapati Bhavan does
not remember if ever any President has
sent Diwali sweets for them and their
children at his or her own expense.
Sources reveal that ‘the President’s
expenditure on sweet boxes
and gifts alone was about Rs
two to two and a half lakh,
which she himself bore.’ The
staff of Rashtrapati Bhavan
has become convinced of her
simplicity, decency, and ease
of living. She also wakes up at
three in the morning, then
does an hour-long yoga
and meditation rou-
tine, then leaves for
her morning walk
at four, which lasts about a quarter of an
hour. Now only vegetarian food is cooked
in the kitchen of Rashtrapati Bhavan
without onion and garlic. The practice
of non-vegetarian food has stopped.
The kitchen of Rashtrapati Bhavan has
also been asked to be closed by 10 pm.
Earlier, the employees who went home
after finishing duty late at night did not
even get any travelling allowance, now
they have started getting it. The President
is well aware of the fact that the face of
the new India is mostly formed by
meeting the youth of the country,
so to connect with the youth and
understand their expectations
properly, she is also using the
social media platform ‘Facebook’
a lot. She takes time, and makes
short notes for her speeches,
which are included in her main
speech. If the top
changes, surely its
fragrance will
be felt across
the country.
Ever since SP supremo
Mayawati announced
that ‘she will not forge
an electoral alliance with
any party in UP in the
2024 general elections’,
Chandrasekhar Rao has
new stress on his face.
Telangana Chief Minister
Rao wants to emerge as
the new Leader of the
Opposition unit. How-
ever, he has not given up
on his dream. Recently,
he held a long talk with
Mayawati over the phone
and invited her to be the
chief guest at a grand
‘Holi Milan function’ held
in Hyderabad. Rao plans
to meet Mayawati there
and a scholarship will be
distributed to 1,000 Dalit
girls and on the same
pretext, Mayawati will
be persuaded to make a
coalition with Akhilesh.
The BJP has already com-
pletely entered the ‘Elec-
tion Mode’ for the Lok Sabha
elections. If sources are to be
believed, many
Congress
stalwarts are
stepping at the
doors of BJP
to become
‘saffronised’.
The party has identified such
leaders and prepared a list of
them. The matter is stuck on
just timing. Amit Shah is un-
derstood to have asked these
leaders to wait till September,
while Modi wants nothing to
happen before December.
With the success of the ‘UP Investor Summit’, UP
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has received a
new message from Delhi asking him to ‘ensure the
dates of civic elections in the state as soon as pos-
sible.’ It has been said that ‘his long-pending cabinet
reshuffle may remain stuck
until the civic elections in the
state are over.’ Yogi has been
engaged in a major reshuf-
fle exercise in his Cabinet
for some time now, where
many of his old ministers
have to leave and many new
faces have to get a place in
the Cabinet. In fact, the UP local body elections are
stuck in a dilemma that the reservation formula has
not been finalised yet. This reservation formula is
to be decided for mayors of 17 Municipal Corpora-
tions, Presidents of 200 Municipal Corporations, and
Chairman of 546 city panchayats. It should be noted
that the deadline for municipal elections has ended
on January 5. At present, Yogi has sent a tip to Delhi
that ‘election procedures are being finalised’. It seems
Yogi is also waiting for the right time for himself.
The shadow of uncertainty is hovering over the
Raipur session of Congress. Earlier this 85th
session of Congress was called in Raipur for three
days i.e. from February 24-26. Now it is believed that
instead of 24, the session will start on 25 and end
on 26. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on this conference
because after 26 years the elections of the Congress
Working Committee were to be held. But now, it is
believed that this CWC election will be postponed and
Party President Mallikarjun
Kharge will be authorised to
elect a representative for the
working committee by show
of hands, which he will de-
cide after returning to Delhi.
Of the 23 members of the
Congress Working Commit-
tee, 12 were to be elected by
the AICC delegates, and 11 were to be nominated by
the President. But it seems that there will be no elec-
tion now because there are indications of irregularities
in the AICC list as well. Differences have been found
in the list of about 1300 AICC representatives from 29
states and UTs the list provided by the PCC, raising
questions about the role of Madhusudan Mistry VP
Singh of the election committee, who have included
the names of their favorite people in the list. More or
less similar errors were seen in list of delegates dur-
ing election of the party President as well.
WHEN WILL THE CIVIC ELECTIONS IN
UTTAR PRADESH BE HELD?
CONGRESS’s 85TH SESSION IN
RAIPUR WILL END PREMATURELY

MUMBAI | SUNDAY,
FEBRUARY 19, 2023
One high-shine item, toned down with
other essentials or more muted items, is
possibly the simplest way to add a touch
of silver to your ensembles in 2023. City
First highlights the trending silver fashion
that’ll help you shine out of crowd!
tyles come and go, but
the glow of Silver can
not leave the fashion
world. Silver is a run-
way trend for the
summer and these
looks are clearly reso-
nating with fashion followers.
There are some rhythms and
colour patterns that repeat
year after year for example,
one unofficial rule is that me-
tallics and silvers are saved for
the holiday season, but don’t
receive much airtime until
New Year’s Day. In 2023, that
notion is being flipped on its
head, as silver was a motif
that dominated the spring col-
lections of Gucci, Versace, and
Chanel. This is perhaps the
season’s most noticeable col-
our trend and it feels refresh-
ing following, seasons of rain-
bow brights and saturated
colours. Silver is also a univer-
sal shade that chan-
nels futuristic
intricacy
.
The extravagant party
dresses are on the horizon
for 2023, with silver taking
its usual disco-ball form with
bold sequins and lames. Gu-
cci’s knotted-sleeved midi
dress with white boots was
very eye-catching. There are,
however, lots of less apparent
ways to wear metallics, such
as foil pants or tiny skirts that
look great with plain T-shirts
or knits in white, black, or
navy, and boots or even sneak-
ers. The silver craze is also
having an influence on the
world of accessories. Several
of the famous designs we
know and love, such as Le
MondeBeryl’sMaryJanes
and Gucci’s classic Jackie
bag, appear to have been
dipped in aluminium.
This is also trickling
down to the tiniest de-
tails on an outfit, as af-
ter years of gold hoop
earrings and chain
necklaces dominating,
silver is regaining
appeal in daily
jewellery
. Silver
shoes are an-
other great
option in
shiny hue.

To Receive the Most Exclusive News from
the Power Corridors of Mumbai
outh Asia, of
which India is a
dominant entity,
is the poster child
for climate
change. It is be-
cause the amount
of rain falling in India
has declined by 6 per cent
between 1951 and 2015.
What has been observed
is a repetition of wide-
spread unexpected
droughts and massive
downpours of water in
different parts of the
country. Thunderstorms,
lightning and very heavy
rainfall have become a
cause of concern for
weather scientists. They
are trying to understand
the underlying phenome-
na but their success has
been limited.
The reasons that not
much is clearly predicted
about weather conditions
in India are many but two
of them are well known.
Firstly, South Asian mon-
soons are one of the hard-
est natural processes to
understand. Secondly, al-
most all the methods and
mechanisms to predict
weather are based on
Western models. There is
no indigenous method for
India. As a result of this,
most Indian weather fore-
casts are based more on
experience than science.
Some progress has been
made but still, a lot of
work has to be done.
Since India’s lifeline is
monsoon, it is always ben-
eficial to understand its
basic phenomenon. The
northern hemisphere tilts
closer to the sun during
May. As a result, the land
heats and the air above
this hot land rises up. Be-
cause of this rise of air
upwards, trade winds
change their course and
flow in from the South
Arabian sea pushing
moisture-laden rain
clouds up towards the
Western Ghats. This phe-
nomenon brings rains to
Kerala and parts of South
India. It is because of this
phenomenon that every
Indian start enquiring
about the arrival of rain
in Kerala after the middle
of June every year.
Now curiosity may
arise as to how the rain
from Kerala spreads all
over India. Winds find
gaps in the Western
Ghats. As these gaps are
filled by wind currents,
the air power spreads wa-
ter-filled clouds across the
Indian subcontinent. It is
for this reason that envi-
ronmentalists cry foul
whenever government
starts disturbing the eco-
system of these Ghats.
Such people are saviours
of the future, not an anti-
nationalist crowd as is
claimed by greedy money-
bags.
Monsoons have become
erratic over the last seven
decades. This has hap-
pened because of the su-
percharged Indian Ocean
which has warmed more
than any other ocean.
Since 1870, the Indian
Ocean has warmed by 1.4
degrees Celsius. As a re-
sult of the hot ocean, the
trade winds have weak-
ened resulting in wide-
spread droughts or exces-
sive rains in the subconti-
nent. Some people on so-
cial media are seen to be
over joyous about the
plight of Pakistani people
begging for flour bags but
they forget that similar
can happen to the whole
subcontinent if mon-
soons fail even for one sin-
gle year. We all are sitting
on the edge of a danger-
ous cliff.
One painful thing about
South Asia including In-
dia is that it is not pre-
pared for sudden disas-
ters. In Kerala, it is the
local population that has
created a system of watch-
ing the levels of rivers
and rain with the help of
village volunteers. These
people keep a keen look on
certain marked levels
whenever it rains and
warn people on What-
sApp to save themselves
are their belongings. As
far as the government is
concerned, neither the
Central nor the state has
done anything worth-
while to mention. In In-
dia, the future of a politi-
cal party has become
more important than the
lives of people hence, it is
the blame game which ap-
pears more in the public
domain than any concrete
action plan.
Not many countries are
taking global warming se-
riously except for super-
fluous talks by political
leaders because the ma-
jority of the global popu-
lation has become God-
obsessed. People are fight-
ing verbal wars to save
the all-powerful, omnipo-
tent gods of their own
creation rather than do-
ing something to cool the
warming planet. There
would be extreme weath-
er events in the not-so-
distant future because of
huge changes in the oce-
anic atmosphere. Remem-
ber that oceans are a res-
ervoir of continuous heat
that supports all weather
events including drought,
cyclones and downpours
across the globe. Scien-
tists know this but they
don’t fully understand
these changes and their
effects on monsoons.
South Asia is home to
60 per cent of the global
population where people
depend on rain for their
survival including food
and other resources of
life. The majority of these
people, including the ur-
ban well-off population,
have no reserve food stock
at home. This makes this
part of the world highly
vulnerable to climatic
changes. With political
bosses deeply engrossed
in power games, it is the
duty of every thinking
citizen to start taking ac-
tion at the community
level.
