On the day that Tamil Nadu went to the polls, AIADMK chief J Jay-alalithaa had two guests: first, the family of her ad-visor Sheela Balakrishnan to invite her to Sheela’s son’s wedding in early June and then the family of her other advisor Ven-kataraman to invite her home for his grandchild’s

first birthday in the last week of May. Jayalalithaa accepted both invitations “as the swearing in cere-mony would be over by then.” That was how sure she was of victory.

Assam also witnessed establishment of several new universities, medical and engineering colleges during his tenure, apart from seeing a free and fair recruitment of school teachers.

The people’s verdict has been decisive but what remain uncertain is the state’s financial

status—it’s economy has seen the steepest rise in debt, about 92 per cent, according to

various reports, in the last five yearscent, according to var-ious reports, in the last five years. The 2016 poll manifesto of Jayalalithaa raised many eyebrows as part of the state expendi-ture will now go towards unproductive sectors. For instance, one of the major promises that Jayalalithaa made was the 100 unit free power for house-holds, in two month bill cycles. Power experts worry that the sector is already facing an accu-mulated debt of nearly one lakh crores rupees. A

debt of around Rs 12,500 crore will be added every year. To make matters worse, the free 100 units power per household in a six round cycle a year would escalate the gov-ernment’s total expendi-ture –far higher than was expected. Private power purchases further derail the state power sector daily when a regularized power tariff system sug-gested by experts over the years could save at least Rs 4,000 crore per year.

Nadda said that the necessity of promulgat-ing the Ordinance arose as the Supreme Court is presently in vacation while both the Houses of Parliament had been adjourned sine-die.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYNeed for a criminal defamation law is even stronger than it was in

the 19th centuryThe Supreme Court’s recent judgment upholding Sec-tions 499 and 500 of the IPC as constitutionally val-id received wide attention, including visible, vibrant, sometimes even vicious criticism. This is itself a sign that free speech in India is not under any threat. Sec-tions 499 and 500 of the IPC which provide a remedy of criminal defamation have been part of statutory law for over 70 years and have neither diluted our vibrant democracy nor abridged free speech. The argumenta-tive Indian is alive and kicking. Free speech is part of our democratic DNA and not yet subjected to any de-bilitating mutation. The law of defamation is a delicate marriage of an odd couple. Free speech, a fundamental right under 19(1)(a), and the right to reputation, a facet of the right to life and liberty under 21, have learnt to coexist. Marital disputes are inevitable but reciprocal restraint and respect have meant that divorce is rare-ly, if ever, imminent. The marital balance was struck by the framers themselves when Article 19(2) provid-ed that nothing in 19(1) (a) shall “affect the operation of any existing law’’ to impose reasonable restrictions, including for defamation. Sections 499/500 were part of pre-independent India and were thus “existing law”. Ergo, these were already “constitutionally accepted” when India became a republic. Defamation does not partake only of individual interest. It protects reputa-tion which is the person’s ‘’estimation in the eyes of the general public’’. It is necessary for social stability. It is what one lives for, swears by, works his skin off for, fights for and dies for. States make laws times without number to regulate private transactions and inter se indi-vidual rights (for instance, Domestic Violence Act, Child Labour Act, Sexual Harassment Act) and their power to do so is not limited to public issues alone. “Reputation of one cannot be allowed to be crucified at the altar of the other’s right of free speech” is what the court rightly em-phasised. Truly, one man’s diatribe can be another man’s nemesis. Your swing must necessarily stop where my nose begins. And why should not intentional, wanton, mala fide swings, knowing the clear path of the nose and the inexorable consequences when it comes in the way, be not subjected to criminal punishment to satiate the complainant’s righteous indignation. Otherwise, a large collectivity of such unsatiated complainants would cre-ate an unstable and imploding society. The architecture of Section 499 balances these contrapuntal rights quite soberly. Unlike other inflexible provisions of the IPC, Sections 499/500 have four explanations and 10 excep-tions which do both: they add content and context to the offence as also chisel away at it substantially.

“All private institutions and medical colleges will come under the ambit of NEET. The state governments will get an option to either conduct their own exam or go for NEET to fill UG seats. However, for PG courses, the exam will be held under NEET for 2017-18 session, in December this year.” - Health Minister J P Nadda today said after an Ordinance to

keep the state boards out of it for a year was signed by President Pranab Mukherjee.

All was fun and merry, and everyone seemed to be enjoying the humour by Krushna Abhishek, Bharti Singh and other stand-up comics on the show. While most lines penned by the script-ing team were genuinely funny, some seemed to be low-brow. To be fair, the format of the show is somewhere on the lines of AIB Roast and insults keep flying between the cast regularly. However, some of the lines, espe-cially directed towards the actresses of the film, were derogatory.

Royal Challengers Ban-galore’s former owner Vijay Mallya was known to make some of the most expensive purchases at the IPL auctions. There was something about the team in the initial four years of the tournament and the results showed — RCB twice became runners-up and once played the semifinals.

Initially, RCB had spent over R6 crore on Jacques Kallis and a whopping R10 crore on Kevin Pi-etersen the next year. They did not perform that well but the team did. But 2012 onwards, the team’s fortunes be-gan going south. It was around the same time that Mallya’s Kingfisher airlines were forced to go off operations. But that did not stop Mallya from

splurging at the auc-tions. Buy an arguably spent Yuvraj Singh for R14 crore in 2014 is still talked about. The team’s fortunes again began to swing upwards from the last edition when RCB made it to the playoffs.

Senior Congress leader Shankersinh Vaghela on Tuesday alleged that Gu-jarat had become “bank-rupt” during the 25 years of BJP rule. People want-ed to know what concrete steps Government took in the last 25 years and not just during the tenure of Chief Minister Anandi-ben Patel who completed two years in the office on May 22, he said. “BJP is ruling the state for almost

25 years. So it has no right to hold the past Congress Governments responsible to cover up its own fail-ures. It is time BJP Gov-ernment explained what they have done in these 25 years because people will not be satisfied with the false claims of devel-opment,” said Vaghela, the Leader of Opposition in the Gujarat Assembly. “Gujarat and its people have become bankrupt, as crores of rupees were


Gujarat Congress today termed Chief Minister Anandiben Patel’s two-year tenure as a ‘total failure’, claiming that not a single promise made by the BJP government has been fulfilled. Accord-ing to Gujarat Congress president Bharatsinh So-lanki, Patel has failed to execute any major project during the period. “Peo-ple gave mandate to BJP in 2012 Assembly polls because the party lead-ers have made numerous promises. However, look-ing at the performance of Anandiben Patel’s two years in power, it is now clear that this government has failed to keep any of their promises,” Solanki said here. “All the major projects, such as dams and education institutes, were set up during Con-

gress rule (between 1960 to 1995). It was Congress which built the Narmada dam. On the other side, Patel-led government fo-cused on only those proj-ects where there was huge scope of corruption and kick-backs,” he alleged. Patel completed two years in the office as the Gujarat CM yesterday. She was sworn in as the first ever women CM of Gujarat on May 22, 2014, after Na-rendra Modi vacated the post of Gujarat CM to as-sume the charge of Prime Minister. The Congress leader also took a dig at ‘model state’ tag of Guja-rat, claiming that people are “misguided” by BJP government’s publicity. “Massive publicity cam-paigns were carried out to establish that Gujarat is number one in India and it is a model state.

spent on publicity drives instead of developing the state....state debt crossed Rs 2,00,000 crore and the people of Gujarat are paying Rs 3,200 crore to-wards interest on this debt every year,” said the for-mer Chief Minister. The much-hyped ‘Vibrant Gujarat Summits’ were nothing but an attempt by the then Chief Minister Narendra Modi to “white-wash” his image, he said. “Our former CM (Modi) spent crores on Vibrant Gujarat Summits not for the development but to improve his tarnished image. Vibrant Gujarat was meant for only his publicity.” More than 60 lakh educated youths in Gujarat were unemployed while 60,000 small and medium industries closed down during the 25 years of BJP rule, he claimed. “People of Gujarat want to know how many new dams, power plants, government hospitals, schools, colleges and dairies were built in the last 25 years....people’s sufferings have only in-creased,” Vaghela said.
