Caste census is ‘X-ray’ of country, Congress will conduct it: Rahul at Rajasthan poll rally

editor November 21, 2023

RAJASTHAN: Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, promoted the caste census on Tuesday, calling it a national "X-ray." "How will we talk about participation if it is unknown whose population is how much?" he asked at an election rally in Vallabhnagar, Udaipur. Gandhi stated that if the Congress wins power, it will carry out a caste census in Rajasthan and nationwide if it forms the federal government. On the matter, he attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming that while in the past the PM had claimed to be an OBC, on the day Gandhi brought up the demand for a caste census, Modi began asserting that there is only one caste in India: the poor. "Modi claimed that there was only one caste in the nation—the poor—but he made no mention of the existence of a second caste, which consists of billionaires. That's the caste of Adani, Ambani. They belong to a unique caste," he remarked. The former head of the Congress accused Modi of using his position to distract the public while Adani commits pickpocketing, saying that "they are a team".

Former Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu Gets Regular Bail | Skill Development Scam Case

editor November 20, 2023

Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh), Nov 20: In the skill development case, the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday granted bail to former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. According to Andhra Pradesh High Court lawyer Sunkara Krishnamurthy, Chandrababu Naidu was granted temporary bail until November 28. In this case, regular bail has been granted by the Andhra Pradesh High Court. Siddarth Luthra, an advocate for the TDP legal team, presented arguments in support of Chandrababu Naidu. TDP leaders and supporters expressed satisfaction with the court's ruling. The TDP chieftain left Rajahmundry jail earlier this month on October 31, following his issuance of temporary bail by the Andhra Pradesh High Court regarding an alleged skill development case.Naidu was placed in judicial custody for 53 days, with a four-week interim bond issued. The arrest of the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on September 9 in relation to the multi-crore skill development scam case caused political unrest in the state, with multiple TDP leaders claiming that Naidu was detained on the basis of false accusations and that the arrest was nothing more than a political "witch-hunt." In addition to the skill development case, Naidu is accused in two other graft cases: the Inner Ring Road scam and the Fibernet scam.The FiberNet case concerns purported tender manipulation in which a favoured company was given a work order under Phase-1 of the Andhra Pradesh FiberNet Project, which involves Rs. 330 crore. The Andhra Pradesh police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has accused the project of having irregularities from the time the tender was awarded until the work was finished, costing the state exchequer a significant amount of money.

editor November 20, 2023

KATRA:The "Gyanodaya Express - College on Wheels" train was launched on Sunday by Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha from Katra Railway Station in the Reasi district. For educational purposes, the Gyanodaya Express, carrying seven hundred female students from Union Territory universities, will pass through several states. "For the students, it will be a pilgrimage of education. Through immersive, cooperative, and project-based learning opportunities, the journey aims to blur the lines between classrooms and educational streams and advance the field of education, according to the Lieutenant Governor. As per Sinha, the idea behind the trip was influenced by the life of Mahatma Gandhi, who conducted a train-based "epic tour" across the nation, interacting with people from diverse backgrounds and bringing awareness to the values of "truth and non-violence."The LG stated that in addition to providing students with an opportunity to experience various places and cultures, the trip will help them better understand who they are. "Train journeys will support interdisciplinary education and offer chances for hands-on learning. Travelling by train is regarded as an expedition to change the current state of knowledge. "The journey of students along with mentors to centres of excellence such as Indian Navy, ISRO and Sabarmati Ashram will provide them with new ideas, insight and hands-on knowledge for new research," he stated.
