Assessing PM’s US trip: Modi is the best salesman India has ever had

The Congress criticism of Narendra Modi’s suc-cessful second visit to the US should be seen as an indirect endorsement that he is on the right track. Among other things, Congress spokesman Anand Sharma accused Modi of faking his pover-ty, of insulting his moth-er by ignoring her when he was Gujarat CM, of spending millions on his US public appearances, and for his penchant for dressing well. Regard-less of whether Sharma is right or wrong, he is actually acknowledging something that should be clear to everyone: Modi is the best brand ambas-sador and country sales-

The unrelenting inflation fighter in Raghuram Ra-jan has finally turned into a flexible central bank-er to address the growth worries in the world’s (technically) fastest growing major econo-my. By effecting high-er-than-expected half a percentage point rate cut in his bi-monthly mone-tary policy review, Rajan has passed the ball back to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to do his part. The central bank has shifted its focus to growth from inflation. Nothing else can explain the deep rate cut announced by Rajan on Tuesday that came as a surprise to economists and analysts. Only one of the 52 economists partici-pated in a Bloomberg poll expected a 50 bps rate cut, while 42 were bet-ting on a 25 bps cut and nine forecast status-quo

man India has ever had. He is able to connect not only with the diaspora but also with powerful Americans like no oth-er Indian Prime Minis-ter could - not Nehru, not Indira Gandhi not even erudite Manmohan Singh. America probably sees Modi as more rep-resentative of India than any other Indian leader in the past barring pos-sibly Mahatma Gandhi. Sure, domestic critics will say Modi is doing nothing more than play to the domestic gallery by using the diaspora to appear popular in Amer-ica. However, the fact is this makes a difference to how Americans perceive India. Indian Americans are some of the most suc-cessful businessmen and professionals in the US, and if they can be swayed by Modi, it is tantamount making to a power state-ment to America as well.

Growth boost: With a 50 bps rate cut, Rajan has played his part well; over to Jaitley now

in rates. Cumulatively, now the RBI has reduced its key lending rates by 125 bps so far this year. One bps is one hundredth of a percentage point. The pre-conditions for further rate cuts listed out by Ra-jan in this policy are not really very different from his earlier ones. These include 1) meaningful transmission of already effected rate cuts in the banking system; 2) Wor-ries of a failed monsoon and its impact on food and

vegetable prices; 3) Un-certainties on the possible impact of a rate hike in US financial markets; and 4) Possibility of inflation resurgence when base ef-fect fades beginning Sep-tember. There hasn’t been any notable improvement in any of these factors or the concerns remain even now. Besides, in the re-cent past, Rajan has re-peatedly pointed out that the central bank’s primary objective continues to be inflation management.

Hardik’s lawyer not to make more allegations : HCThe Gujarat High Court on Tuesday asked Patel quota agitation leader Hardik Patel’s lawyer not to make further allegations which may

The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday asked Patel quota agitation leader Har-dik Patel’s lawyer not to make further allegations which may aggravate the situation in the state and sought another shorter affidavit to substantiate Hardik’s claims about alleged abduction. Har-dik’s lawyer BM Mangukia on Tues-day filed a detailed affidavit making more allegations against the state. But the division bench of Justices MR Shah and KJ Thaker said the allegations and counter-allegations were not desirable. Two aides of Hardik had filed a habe-as corpus petition when he had gone missing after a public meeting at Ten-pur village in Bayad tehsil of Aravali

village on September 22. The 22-year-old leader of Patels’ agitation surfaced on September 23 and alleged that he had been abducted by “a person look-ing like cops.” “Petitioners have filed an affidavit-in-rejoinder. It contains further allegations against the state administra-tion. It was suggested to the petitioner’s advocate BM Mangukia to file a short affidavit in the habeas corpus petition and avoid any allegations and counter allegations,” the HC today said. “He (Mangukia) took suggestions in right spirit and he takes back the affidavit and will file a short affidavit to substantiate his claims in the petition,” said the HC order. “It must be ensured that no alle-gations or counter- allegations are made

which might aggravate the situation.” When Hardik appeared before the court following his `abduction’ and release, the judges had expressed doubts about his claims, and asked his lawyer to file an affidavit

to substantiate the allega-tions. Advocate Mangukia on Tuesday said during the arguments that he was ready to withdraw his al-legations and he had never said that the police had ab-ducted Hardik.

After his groundnut crop reportedly failed due to deficient rainfall, a farmer in Mendapara village of Bhesan taluka in Junagadh district allegedly commit-ted suicide by consuming poison on Tuesday. Police said Manoj Patel (30) was found unconscious on his farm by his cousin brother Vijesh in Mendapara on Tuesday morning. Vijesh

rushed Manoj to government-run community health centre (CHC) in Bhesan town. However, doctors there declared Manoj dead on arrival. “Manoj had gone to his farm last night to guard his crop against wild animals.

However, he consumed poison anytime before 8:15 am. His cousin brother Vijesh found him unconscious when he went to the farm this morning. Manoj died on way to hospital,” Bhagvanji Khambhla, police sub-inspec-

tor of Bhesan said. Fam-ily members of Manoj ascribed his death to crop failure. “In his primary statement, Vijesh has told us that Manoj’s groundnut crop had failed due to de-ficient rainfall and there-fore he committed sui-cide,” the PSI further said. Sarpanch of Mendapara village, Hasam Sama said Manoj owned around 10 bigha of land. “Majori-ty of farmers in our vil-lage grow groundnut and cotton. But rain has been scanty this year. There is no water in the river nor in wells to irrigate our crops. Therefore, ground-nut crop is almost a failure. We fear groundnut yield will be around one quintal per bigha against longterm average of four quintals,” said Sama. Dr Hemat Sa-todia, medical officer of Bhesan CHC confirmed the farmer had died due to poison. “Prima facie,

we have concluded that he consumed aluminium phosphide and died. How-ever, to know the exact cause of his death, we have sent his viscera samples to Forensic Science Labora-tory in Junagadh,” said Dr Satodia. Aluminium phos-phide is a poison used to control menace of rodents. Junagadh is the largest producer of groundnut in Gujarat. However, farmers are facing tough time this year due to a little or no rainfall in late August and early September. Some parts of Junagadh district did receive a good spell of rain last week but that was a little too late, farmers say, with crops already having withered. Khambhla said they will record statements of Manoj’s family mem-bers once his last rites are performed. Bhesan police have filed a case of acci-dental death and started investigation.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYPM Modi made a strong pitch to Silicon Valley

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Silicon Valley, technology capital of the world, home to the likes of Apple and Google, has been widely deemed a resounding success. CEOs of some of the most innovative companies anywhere rolled out the red carpet in welcome, promising new investment in Digital India, the government’s ambitious plan to connect each citizen to the internet and harness its potential to improve public services. Google con-firmed plans to launch free WiFi in 500 railway stations across India; Microsoft pledged its help in bringing low-cost broadband to villages; and Qual-comm promised to invest $150 million in Indian startups. Modi engaged the tech community, many of whom are Indian or of Indian origin, with humour and anecdote. Of course, his reputation as an en-thusiastically tech-savvy, social media-enabled PM had preceded him. At the townhall-style discussion at Facebook HQ, India’s PM spoke disarmingly of how social media was “like a guide” and an “easy textbook” for him, filling in for a “lack of educa-tion” and broadening his perspective. He acknowl-edged, too, its potential to radically transform the compact between governments and citizens — with Twitter and Facebook, with all their limits, acting as instant barometers of the public mood. He spoke of the ways in which social media can inject infor-mality in starchy, protocol-obsessed diplomatic re-lations, describing how a “happy birthday” message for the Chinese prime minister went viral recent-ly. But the heartwarming tableau at Silicon Valley seemed at odds with the increasing parochialism and narrow-mindedness on display back home, be it the meat-ban contagion or ministerial talk of “cleans-ing” cultural areas that have been “Westernised”. Clearly, Modi admires the entrepreneurial spirit and vivacity of Silicon Valley — as he put it, California is “one of the last places in the world to see the sun set. But it is here that new ideas see the first light of day”. But if Silicon Valley exemplifies the virtues of creative disruption, it does so because it tolerates — no, celebrates — diversity and difference. The new ideas Modi praised so effusively are made possible in an environment that nurtures defiance and dissent and individuality. Insubordination is encouraged, not muzzled, and the blunt instrument of an internet block is not used as the knee-jerk retort to every per-ceived security risk. Modi may not be responsible for this strain of illiberalism that seems emboldened in his regime, but he has failed to forcefully distance himself from it, or to subdue it.

“We want to make sure that the words sustainable and growth go together. Both are important. And that’s why we used what room we had. But I don’t think we were excessively aggressive. We were not throwing out a Diwali bonus.”

Director Chimbu Deven says the biggest advan-tage of making fantasy films is that they don’t have a language barrier and can easily appeal to everybody across all age groups. “With great vi-suals, fantasy films can appeal to everybody. I strongly believe that lan-guage is never a barrier when it comes to such films. ‘Puli’ is not just for Vijay fans but it’s targeted at everybody, from kids to older folks,”

Deven. “Puli”, which features Vijay, Shruti Haasan, Sridevi and Han-sika Motwani in the lead roles, is tipped to be a high budget fantasy dra-ma set against the back-drop of an ancient king-dom. The film releases in cinemas on Thursday in Telugu and Hindi as well. Deven wonders why fantasy films are rarely made nowadays. “Tamil cinema was known for some of the best fantasy films. I don’t understand why we’ve stopped mak-ing them. In the last few

years, Telugu filmdom explored this genre quite well. I hope ‘Puli’ gives Tamil filmmakers the confidence to make more such films,” he said. A cartoonist by profession, the director says the expe-rience helped him in the making of “Puli”. “Even before I wrote the script, I visualised key scenes in sketches. This helped me in explaining to my art director and VFX su-pervisor what exactly I was looking from them. It made all our work much easier,” he said.

Raksha Shakti University (RSU) on Monday became the first institute in India to receive the brain finger-printing technology de-veloped by Farwell for brain fingerprinting. It was the same system on the basis of which Indi-an system of BEOS was developed. The Institute of Research and Devel-opment (IR&D) of RSU has got two systems from Brainwave Technology, a US-based firm holding the patent, as part of their

MoU with the university. A five-day workshop for forensic scientists and re-searchers started at RSU on Monday with the team of brainwave technology where trainers included former FBI profilers. The system includes comput-er software and specially designed headgear and costs over Rs1 crore. Ex-perts said that the system scores over the current one as it does not require elaborate set-up and read-ings are quicker. Dr S L Vaya, director of IR&D who is considered one of the pioneers in forensic psychology in India, said that their primary agenda is validation of the system in Indian context. “We have two PhD candidates who will be working on forensic and clinical as-pect of the system and its applications. I am hope-ful that the installation of these systems will not only help the research-ers, but also investigating agencies from the state.”


Green seems to be the new mantra for develop-ers in Gujarat, especially in Ahmedabad. As many as 150 buildings across the state are in the process of getting green building certification and around 27 buildings have already received it from Indian Green Building Coun-cil (IGBC), a part of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). A green building is one which uses less water, saves on energy consumption, con-serves natural resources, generates less waste and provides healthier spac-es for occupants than a conventional building. “Of 150, Ahmedabad has nearly 70-80 green buildings at various stag-es of certification. These include residential, com-mercial complexes and offices. With awareness of the concept, the num-ber is going to increase in the days to come,” said Sameer Sinha, chairman of the Ahmed-


The swine flu claimed one life each in Ahmed-abad and Rajkot, respec-tively, on Monday. While swine flu claimed one life in Ahmedabad Monday, 55 new cases of dengue were reported in last one week. This has ended up in four total deaths due to swine flu in the city since August 1 and 186 den-gue cases in the month of September (till Septem-ber 26) alone against 87 cases in the same month, previous year. A wom-an (53) resident of Paldi died at Sterling hospital where she was admitted on September 14. This records total 27 swine flu


The religious organiza-tions of Patidars had so far distanced themselves from reservation stir lead by Patidar Anamat An-dolan Samiti (PAAS) and Sardar Patel Group (SPG) for inclusion of Kadva and Leuva Patels in state government’s OBC quo-ta. Now, these religious trusts, six of them led by the Umiya Mata Sans-than-Unjha, on Sunday came out in the open and put forth their demand for quota. But there is a major deviation from the origi-nal demand made by Pa-tidar reservation stir lead-ers like Hardik Patel and Lalji Patel. Instead these organizations have asked for reservation on the ground of financial con-dition of a family for the Economically Backward Class. Experts believe that Patidars would be least benefited, if EBC quota demand is approved on

line with what Rajasthan government has accept-ed. Interestingly , it was Umiya Mata Sansthan only which had sought reservation benefits from the Centre by pitching the Kadva Patidars as so-cially and educationally backward community in 1998. The commission then concluded that the Patidars were not poor. In its findings, it wrote, “The town Kanbis are skilled weavers of silk and cot-ton, dealers in cloth and grant and some have risen to high positions in gov-ernment service or made money in trade or as mon-ey lenders, but the bulk of them are husbandmen. Many of them are village headmen either ughrat-dars that is revenue head-men or mukhia that is po-lice headmen, and enjoy allowances in cash and land They are also chosen as officiators to sign vil-lage papers.”

The Supreme Court on Monday extended stay on the Gujarat local body elections till the next hearing on November 24, even as the state gov-ernment sought 10 days to file reply to an earli-er notice questioning the multi-councillor ward system. The development further increased the pos-sibility of administra-tor rule in six municipal corporations of Ahmed-abad, Vadodara, Rajkot, Bhavnagar and Jamna-gar. Nearly 300 local bodies — corporations, district panchayats, talu-


Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel today said that despite attempts to introduce Maoism in Gujarat, left-inspired vi-olence had not covered much ground because of “pro-active steps for all-round development of tribals in our state”. “The spread of influence of extremist elements is a matter of common concern. Gujarat has remained unaffected despite attempts to in-troduce Maoism in the


Maruti Suzuki is expect-ed to sign a re-worked state support agreement with the Gujarat gov-ernment after an await-ed nod from its minority shareholders that will allow Japanese parent Suzuki Motor Corpora-tion to run the upcom-ing plant in Hansalpur. India’s largest passenger carmaker plans to hold roadshows next month to win over investors to the decision to transfer the Gujarat project to Suzu-ki, according to sourc-es. Besides, the plant may be commissioned a few months earlier than schedule. This is the sec-ond time Maruti Suzuki will approach investors through roadshows af-ter a round last year to allay fears regarding contract manufactur-

ka panchayats and nag-arpalikas — were to go for polls from October. District and taluka pan-chayats, however, follow the one ward, one mem-ber system. “The Gujarat government did not file reply to notice within 15 days after it was issued on September 4. The final hearing now has been set for November 24 . The government has asked for further time to file a

reply,” said Narendra Ra-vat, Congress leader from Vadodara. Four residents of Vadodara, includ-ing Samantsinh Parmar on behalf of Ravat, had moved the SC question-ing the multi-member system in corporations and nagarpalikas. “The hearing now will be on November 24,” said a top official from the legal de-partment. Additional So-licitor General Hemantika

Wahi refused to comment when asked whether the government has sought 10 days to file reply and submit other documents. Gujarat, so far, has fol-lowed the three-member per ward system. Howev-er, it was changed to the one ward, four council-lors system to implement 50 per cent reservation for women in the local bodies. The petitioners have argued in the court that the multi-member system, unique to the state, was a violation of fundamental rights of reservation and represen-tation. By the last week of October, the five-year term of elected body at Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation would end. By December, term for the rest of the municipal cor-porations would also end.

38 deaths and 323 cases in the state since August 1. Out of these 172 has been cured and another 113 are still under treat-ment. On Monday, 8 new cases were reported from Surat (3), Rajkot (2) and one each from Ahmedabad, Mehsana and Banaskantha.

which has high literacy rate, was a worrying sign, she noted. “The leaders who express the country’s hopes and dreams at Sil-icon Valley, forgets these realities of the country, ” she said. There has been a collective effort to re-verse the achievement gained by the women in the past. The digital world is actively indulged in anti-women campaign. Increasing trend of home-based work of women will snatch all labour rights from them, she added. Citing that more than one crore ‘scheme workers’ (ICDS, Asha) are not been considered as government workers, Ms. Agnihotri said that the system was exploiting them by not even paying them basic

pay. Barring of woman translator from the book publishing function re-cently at the Kerala Sahi-tya Akademi Hall was the latest example of discrim-ination against women, said CPI(M) leader K.K. Shailaja. It was an attack on women’s rights by cul-tural fascists, she added. Congress leader Shanimol Usman said all main po-litical parties were reluc-tant to share power with women. T.K. Rajalaksh-mi, journalist, noted that neo-liberal policies along with the so-called auster-ity measures of the gov-ernment such as cutting of various subsidies and wel-fare schemes have encour-aged intolerance against women and marginalised sessions in society.

According to sources close to the development here in Gujarat, the re-worked state support agreement will be signed only after minor-ity shareholder approval comes through. “It does not make sense for the company to sign a reworked contract be-fore it receives share-

holder approval. Maru-ti Suzuki had run into trouble with institutional investors last year over transferring the plant to its parent,” pointed out a Gujarat government official. A mail sent to Maruti Suzuki remained unanswered. Maruti Chairman RC Bhargava, however, said, “We are waiting for shareholder approval. As of now, we have not heard from the Gujarat government on the fresh state support agreement.”
