Senior minister Gopal Rai was relieved of the charge of the Transport Department as sought by by him on health grounds and the portfolio has now been given to his cabinet colleague Satyendar Jain. Last week, Rai requested Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to relieve him from the responsibility of Transport Department on health grounds as he had recently undergone a major surgery. Jain, who is known to be close to Kejriwal, already holds key portfolios of PWD, Health, Power and Home. The departments left with Rai now include Labour, Irrigation and Flood Control, General Ad-

With the progress of the monsoon slowing over Karnataka, the meteoro-logical department has advised farmers in Ma-harashtra to refrain from sowing seeds until the monsoon reaches the re-gion. “The Konkan re-gion is getting pre-mon-soon rains and will soon get monsoon too, but in interior Maharashtra, Marathwada and Vidar-bha, farmers are advised not to begin sowing as the soil is heated and the seeds require rain-fall when sown to grow into good crops,” said

The scourge is back. Or, so it seems. Consum-er food price inflation, at 7.55 per cent year-on-year in May, has hit a 21-month-high. And what’s striking, and prob-ably surprising, is how steep has been the climb – from an average of 2.7 per cent during July-Sep-tember (when the mon-soon rains had failed) to 5.2 per cent in March (when the drought was at its peak) and 7.5 per cent-plus now (when a good monsoon is supposedly round the corner). Nor is the timing of the increase particularly helpful. The Reserve Bank of India, of late, has not been averse

to cutting interest rates. The changed stance has been emboldened no less by the Centre’s “com-mendable commitment to fiscal consolidation” and its recent reform mea-sures, including slashing of small savings rates. Even in his latest June 7 review, the central bank governor Raghuram Ra-jan made it clear that “the stance of monetary policy remains accom-modative”. But with food inflation rising again, the possibility of further rate cuts – since January 2015, the RBI’s key short-term lending or repo rate has been reduced from 8 per cent to 6.5 per cent – is effectively ruled out.

Mallya left the country on 2 March for London on a diplomatic passport, and India’s initial effort get him back went in vain. “He cannot be deported till he is declared a pro-claimed offender,” said an ED official requesting anonymity.

In her first visit to Delhi after winning the elec-tions in Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister Jayala-lithaa on Tuesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at 7, Race Course Road and submitted a 29-point memorandum listing down her demands for the state. Among the list of demands, AIAD-MK chief Jayalalithaa sought permanent ex-emption from NEET exam, resumption of the banned Jallikattu and ac-ceptance of the suggested amendments made by her government to GST Bill. She demanded the resto-ration of water level at Mullaperiyar dam to 152

feet. Interlinking of riv-ers, retrieval of Katcha-theevu island and inclu-sion of fishermen in the Scheduled Tribes list are also listed in the mem-orandum. In the mem-orandum, the state has also urged for the early commissioning of Unit 2 of Kudankulam nuclear power plant. Jayalalithaa, who arrived in the after-noon, met 50 of her party MPs, the largest regional group in Parliament, be-fore she drove to Modi’s residence. Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker Tham-bidurai, Special Advisor Sheela Balakrishnan and Chief Secretary Rama Mohan Rao accompanied her.

to have made a mockery of the Constitution by re-sorting to such sleight of hand to reward his leg-islators. All parties, in-cluding those giving him sermons on propriety, are equally guilty of impro-priety, illegality and hy-pocrisy. In almost every state, there is a long list of parliamentary secre-taries appointed by chief ministers. Kejriwal may be politically right in fol-lowing a precedence es-tablished by various state governments of all par-ties. But, his claim of be-

ing different from them, the boast of standing on a higher moral ground, stands demolished. Why is Kejriwal wrong? The 91st Amendment in the Constitution, which intro-duced Article 164 (1A), limits the number of min-isters in the state cabinets

to 15 percent of the total strength of the Assembly. Since the Delhi Assembly has 70 members, Kejri-wal’s cabinet could not have exceeded 10, a de-cent number considering the size of the state. Ar-ticle 164 (A) was intro-duced in the Constitution

in 2003 with the explic-it purpose of stopping misuse of public money on politicians, who ben-efitted from over-sized cabinets. This was done on the basis of the rec-

ommendations of the National Commission for Review of the Work-ing of the Constitution headed by former chief justice of India, MN Venkatachaliah.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYWhy women want prohibition, Liquor has

become a political issue..?Nitish Kumar’s support for prohibition as a gim-mick to woo the women vote bank without bother-ing to ask why women demand prohibition in the first place. women demand prohibition as a politi-cal solution because liquor has become a political issue. States like Maharashtra dislike any interfer-ence in the assured, ever-increasing sale of liquor partly because of the revenue that it brings, and even more because of the close linkage between liquor and politics. Bigwig politicians in the state either own breweries or are closely linked to one. Licenses are handed out to party karyakartas, many of whom get tickets as well. There are no popu-lation norms or area norms to restrict the issue of licenses — tiny hamlets of populations less than 500 persons can land up with four liquor shops and bars. The bottomline — politicians whose po-litical and/or business interests are served through increase in liquor sales would rather use their pow-er to increase such sales rather than think about regulation. In this situation, the very talk of self-care, counselling and de-addiction as alternatives to prohibition ends up depoliticising the issue and directly helps the liquor lobby’s agenda. Regula-tionists add to the cacophony that asks women and families to “handle” their drunken men and resolve their personal health issues rather than demand any kind of accountability regarding the over-supply of alcohol in their communities. Regulationists fear that banning good legal liquor will drive people towards the obnoxious illegal hooch. However, as the hooch tragedy of Mumbai which killed more than a hundred people shows, hooch and licensed liquor thrive side by side. In fact, licensed liquor is sold illegally as much as hooch and kills just as many people. The legal/illegal binary is blurred as licensed liquor shops set up well-knit networks to smuggle liquor outside their premises in blatant contravention of the law. They do not adhere to timings or dry day restrictions; they regularly sell to under-age persons and use minors for smuggling activities. The excise department has neither the will nor the way to act effectively against erring license holders. Apart from other things like a se-vere lack of humanpower and resources, the ex-cise department has been drilled over decades to increase revenue by meeting sales targets. Police have been ordered not to act without first bringing erring license holders to the notice of the excise de-partment. It is an explicit policy of the Maharashtra government that license-holders should be treated leniently and let off with a (minor) fine under the legal euphemism called “compounding of offenc-es”. Therefore, if the politician-business-criminal triad can come together to protect their vested in-terests, why should the women not form a vote bank to break this nexus? Liquor is not a moral is-sue but a political one and therefore, more power to the women of Bihar who have shown the way, and hopefully, more politicians will take the cue from Nitish Kumar.

“Virtually all states have supported the idea of GST today barring Tamil nadu which has expressed some reservations. Tamil nadu has offered a few suggestions which have been noted by the committee.”

We hope the change comes soon and it does not become a censor-ing board from a certifica-tion board,” he said.

Virat Kohli is arguably the fittest Indian cricketer around but that is not good enough for the champion batsman as he wants to become the best athlete in the world, reveals In-dia and RCB fitness coach Shanker Basu. Kohli has worked immensely on his fitness, especially strength, and the results of that are quite visible. He now hits sixes with as much ease as he pierces the field for boundaries. “Virat has de-cided to become the best

athlete in the world and sky is the limit. There a lot of role models ahead of him in terms of sheer athletic abilities and he will never shy away from competition. He will grab it with both hands,” Basu told ‘bcci.tv’. Basu, who has worked with Kohli at RCB and in the national team, feels the supremely fit batsman is set to raise the bar. “A lot of athletes will say that they are very lucky to find a coach, but I will instead say that Vi-rat Kohli is an exceptional

person, so I was very lucky to have an athlete like him. My association with him dates back to eight years through IPL,” Basu said. He gave an insight to how Kohli approach-es his fitness. “Virat will never challenge you once he is convinced about your methods. I found an athlete who was ready to go through the grind and work hard consistently whenever the need arose. He is very good with his nutrition plans and disci-pline factors.

The state health depart-ment has re-scheduled the launch of menstrual hygiene project, this time from across the state. Now, the revamped proj-ect will cover over 40 lakh women, including secondary school girls. This project will be in-ter-linked with recently launched ‘mission shak-ti’ programme, a senior health department official said. The environmental implications red-flagged by environmentalists predominantly over ‘dis-

posal issues’ of sanitary napkins has led to a delay in launching the menstru-al hygiene project from selected high priority districts scheduled last year, the official added. However, the health de-partment claims to have taken the delay into their stride as the focus of the health project that also covers education sector by aiming to bring down the drop-out rate among secondary school girls has been widened from a few lakh to 40 lakh wom-en and also linked with ‘mission shakti’ project.

Gujarat based dairy major Amul is keen on setting up a Rs 400 crore project in drought-hit Vidarbha re-gion of Maharashtra where farmers are committing suicides, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said today. “We have requested Amul to set up dairy projects in Vidarbha where farmers are committing suicide. They have shown interest in Rs 400 crore project. With their cooperation we will increase milk produc-

tion by four to five times. Farmers will get much relief,” Gadkari, who is an MP from Nagpur that is in the Vidarbha region, told agency. Vidarbha which houses 75 per cent of forests of Maharashtra has so far not been able to be successful in dairy business and west Maha-rashtra’s Kolhapur district has much better produc-tion, the Road, Transport, Highways and Shipping Minister said.

in 1919 by Gandhiji him-self, has sold around 10,500 online versions of around 170 of their books, converted into e-books, which according to Desai, is the key motivating fac-tor for the trust to venture into the territory of an ex-clusive tablet parallel to online conglomerate Am-azon’s “Kindle” e-book reader. “During last two years, around 10,500 e-books of 170 different titles published by them, mostly on Gandhiji, have been sold in the online

market. Our English ver-sion e-books are sold on Amazon, while Gujarati e-books are sold through “e-Shabda” portal” said Desai. “We are seeing a paradigm shift in peo-ple’s reading habits, as a small tablet allows peo-ple to carry hundreds of books in it. Thus, we have decided to come up with our own tablet, like Ama-zon’s Kindle, so that more people can read Navjivan publications, mostly on Gandhiji, through our tablet,” said Desai.

ing Federation (GCMMF) markets the Amul brand of milk and dairy prod-ucts and the Amul Model of dairy development is a three-tiered structure. Gadkari said Amul recent-ly revived a dairy in Jalga-on and now it has evinced interest in Vidarbha. “They are ready to buy milk. Their rate is better than the mar-ket. Dairy has not been suc-cessful in Vidarbha now. …There are plans for Rs 400 crore projects,” he said and added that the Maharashtra government under a pact may transfer existing as-sets to them. Addressing a seminar on ‘Liberating the Farmers from Debt Trap’ earlier, the Minister said that he had recently been to Gujarat and talked to Amul, the biggest dairy coopera-tive in the country to come to Vidarbha.

implemented by Energy Efficiency Services Lim-ited (EESL), a joint ven-ture of leading PSUs un-der the administration of Ministry of Power, Gov-ernment of India. Under this scheme EESL aims to distribute 12 crore 9 W LED bulbs in Gujarat and is presently distribut-ing an average of 1.5 lakh LED bulbs daily in the state, which is yet another milestone for the UJALA scheme in India. The Gu-jarat Government is con-tributing Rs. 10 per LED bulb on behalf of every

domestic consumer for the purchase of first 10 bulbs. Post this contribu-tion by the Government, the scheme allows resi-dential consumers to avail up to 10 LED bulbs at an upfront price of Rs. 80 per bulb or they can choose to pay in EMI without any upfront payment. Con-sumers choosing to pay through EMI will have to pay Rs. 85 in total, where an amount of nearly Rs. 20 per LED bulb will be added to their Bi-monthly electricity bill for a period of 4 billing cycles.

AAP attacks Anandiben govt over ‘deteriorating’ quality of education’Hardik offers to leave state for 6 months, if granted bail

as education minister. At a press meet, Kalsaria said, “The foundation of the education sector in the state is rocky and exem-plifies the deteriorating quality of government schools here. The ruin-ation of education began under Anandiben’s stint as an education minister and I have been witness to that. I am sad that at that time I could not do much about it (Kalsaria was BJP MLA from Mahuva-Kalsaria). Today it is imperative and the responsibility of AAP to raise its voice.” He said the root of the Patidar ag-itation could be traced to

youngsters being disheart-ened with the poor state of education in Gujarat. He said many MPs and MLAS from BJP and Con-gress had entered politics, only to run huge academic institutions as businesses. Kalsaria echoed the views of Delhi CM Arvind Ke-jriwal who recently called sedition charge against jailed PAAS leader Hardik Patel ‘unfair’ and said that party was making efforts to meet with Hardik. The AAP leader also said Ke-jriwal is expected to visit Surat on July 10 to address a gathering of industrial-ists from the city.

dik, lodged in jail since October last year, after both prosecution and de-fence concluded their arguments. The public prosecutor, however, did not give any immediate

reply to Hardik’s latest of-fer, saying that he would seek instruction from the Gujarat government. Ear-lier, public prosecutor Mitesh Amin concluded his argument, opposing

the bail petition mainly on the ground that if enlarged on bail Hardik may repeat the offence. He narrated the entire sequence of vi-olence that had engulfed various parts of the state last year in August. Har-dik is facing two sedition cases, lodged by Surat De-tection of Crime Branch (DCB) and Ahmed-abad DCB. He has been chargesheeted in both cas-es and lower courts have rejected his bail pleas. In the HC, the Patidar leader

filed bail plea in March. During the arguments, he had also given an un-dertaking, saying that if granted bail he would not disturb law and order, and continue agitation in a peaceful and democrat-ic manner. However, the state opposed the under-taking, citing the conduct of the accused. In the past, the government accepted undertaking of co-accused and also core members of Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti.
