Jaipur, Dec 15: Twelve days after the BJP defeated the Congress in the assembly elections, Bhajan Lal Sharma, a first-time MLA, took the oath of office as chief minister of Rajasthan on Friday. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the top BJP officials were present at the ceremony. On his 57th birthday, Sharma, a BJP state general secretary, assumed leadership of the state. Governor Kalraj Mishra also swore in Diya Kumari and Prem Chand Bairwa as his deputy chief ministers. The oath was taken in Hindi by all three.Ashok Gehlot, the departing chief minister, was present at the event in front of this location's historic Albert Hall. It was witnessed by a sizable contingent of BJP MLAs and employees from all over the state. On December 12, Sharma, a leader backed by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, was named leader of the BJP legislature party. PM Modi, President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, and a number of other senior party leaders were present at the swearing-in ceremony.Attendees included the recently appointed chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav; the chief ministers of Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Goa; and the deputy chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Keshav Prasad Maurya. Mahants and seers from various locations also attended the ceremony. "Jai Shri Ram" and "Modi-Modi" were yelled by BJP supporters as Sharma, Diya Kumari, and Bairwa took the oath. One of the leaders who arrived early for the programme was Ashok Gehlot, who was seated next to “rival” Gajendra Singh Shekhwat and was observed conversing with him. Gehlot has been smearing Union minister Shekhawat with accusations of his involvement in the "scam" involving the Sanjivani Credit Co-operative Society on a regular basis. In response, Shekhawat has brought a defamation lawsuit in Delhi against Gehlot. There was a brief disturbance at the Ramniwas Garden entry point just before the oath ceremony, where people were being forced into the venue. Before the police could stop them, a number of people leaped over the barricades.After winning the assembly elections, the BJP chose Bhajan Lal Sharma, a first-time MLA, to be Rajasthan's new chief minister on December 12, putting an end to days of speculation. After BJP MLAs convened here and chose the 56-year-old Sanganer legislator to lead their legislature party, the unexpected selection was made public. Prior to the legislature party meeting, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Vasundhara Raje were also considered the front-runners for the position of chief minister. With a margin of 48,081 votes, Sharma, the party's Brahmin face, emerged victorious in the Bharatpur district of Jaipur's Sanganer constituency. He graduated with a master's in political science.Following the recent assembly elections, the BJP promoted a number of lesser-known MLAs to the position of chief minister, and he is the third in line. The other two are Mohan Yadav, who was recently sworn in as the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, and Vishnu Deo Sai, the chief minister of Chhattisgarh. In the November 25 assembly elections, the Congress received 69 seats in Rajasthan, while the BJP secured 115 seats. In the state, 199 out of 200 seats had polling.

CHANDIGARH, Dec 15: As part of a money laundering investigation against a pharmaceutical company based in Chandigarh and its promoters connected to a purported bank fraud, the Enforcement Directorate carried out additional searches at approximately twelve locations in the Delhi-NCR and Punjab on Friday, according to official sources. October saw the completion of the initial round of searches in this case against the business, Parabolic Drugs. Under the terms of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the central agency had previously detained Vineet Gupta (54), Pranav Gupta (56), who is also a co-founder of Ashoka University in Sonepat, and CA Surjeet Kumar Bansal (74).Following the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filing a case against them and the company in 2021 for their suspected involvement in a bank loan fraud of ₹1,626 crore, the Guptas resigned from their positions at Ashoka University in 2022. In January of last year, the ED brought a money laundering charge against them. The two company directors who were detained were "actively involved in defrauding the banks by availing loans or financial facilities based upon forged and fabricated documents," the agency informed the court in October.By means of convoluted transactions utilising the platforms of their group companies that they controlled, it was claimed that the two "intentionally changed the colour of the loan funds from liabilities to assets and layered, diverted, and syphoned off the said funds." According to the agency, the two "illegally inflated the value of primary security against which drawings were allowed by the bank" and used "shell companies" as their services. The agency asserted that Parabolic Drugs Ltd. "raised fake and unrelated goods invoices and illegally received entries from shell companies" while operating under their direction and control. According to the report, Bansal gave “false certificates to Parabolic Drugs Ltd. which were used for availing loans from consortium of banks” through his chartered accountancy firm, S.K. Bansal and Company.The ED told the court that the Central Bank of India and other consortium banks suffered an unjust loss of ₹1,626.7 crore due to their illicit activities and misappropriation of loan funds, as per the CBI FIR. The ED was requesting the remand of the three. [caption id="attachment_7252" align="alignnone" width="300"] ED Conducts Searches In Delhi-NCR, Punjab Against Chandigarh-Based Pharma Company[/caption]

NEW DELHI: Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri stated on Friday that India intends to land a man on the moon by 2040 and that Chandrayaan 3 is just the beginning. "We are transparent and clear today; support will be provided to the sector. India promises to land a man on the moon by 2040; Chandrayaan 3 is just the beginning of the journey. In a similar vein, India's Amrit Kaal plans to see a developed nation by 2047. At a press conference on Friday, Hardeep Singh Puri stated, "Gaganyaan projects aim to demonstrate human space flight capability and India promises man on the moon by 2040." The goal of the Gaganyaan project is to demonstrate the capability of human spaceflight by sending a crew of three people into a 400 km orbit for a three-day mission, and then safely returning them to Earth by landing in Indian waters. India will become the fourth country, after the US, Russia, and China, to launch a manned space mission with the help of this programme. The Indian Space and Research Organisation (ISRO) was commended earlier by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for reaching yet another technological milestone in space. The Propulsion Module of Chandrayaan-3 made a successful diversion. The Propulsion Module is transferred from lunar orbit to Earth orbit in an additional novel experiment. The Prime Minister commented on X, "Congratulations @isro," in response to ISRO's post on X regarding this accomplishment."We have reached a significant technological milestone in our future space endeavours by sending an Indian astronaut to the Moon by 2040." The Propulsion Module (PM) of Chandrayaan-3 was moved from an orbit around the Moon to an orbit around Earth in another novel experiment, similar to the hop experiment on the Vikram Lander, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The Propulsion Module (PM) of Chandrarayaan-3 successfully makes a diversion! A different kind of experiment involves moving PM from lunar orbit to Earth orbit. PM was put into an Earth-bound orbit via an orbit-raising manoeuvre and a Trans-Earth injection manoeuvre, according to a post made by ISRO on X. The main goals of the Chandrayaan-3 mission were to use the instruments on Vikram and Pragyaan to conduct experiments and demonstrate a soft landing close to the lunar south polar region. On July 14, 2023, the spacecraft was launched from SDSC, SHAR, aboard an LVM3-M4 vehicle. The historic landing of Vikram Lander on August 23 was followed by the deployment of the Pragyan rover. In accordance with the mission life, the scientific instruments on board Lander and Rover were run nonstop for a single lunar day. The Chandrayaan-3 mission objectives have been fully accomplished.
