“Congress has been busy glorifying one family, nourishing corrupt system : PM Modi

editor September 25, 2023

BHOPAL: In poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a stinging attack on Congress on Monday, claiming the group "has been busy glorifying only one family," fostering "corrupt system," and that if given the chance to win the election, it would be a terrible loss for the state. The Prime Minister attacked Congress in his speech to the Karyakarta Mahakumbh in Bhopal, claiming that the opposition party "neither has the ability to see nor understand the national interest" on a number of different fronts. He claimed that neither Congress nor the nation wanted to change. "Congress cannot comprehend the development work being done in India... They oppose the growth of the nation.They never take pride in the nation's accomplishments because neither they nor the nation desire to evolve or adapt. If Congress is given the chance (to take power here), it will establish a "Bimaru Rajya" in Madhya Pradesh. They opposed digital payments, yet UPI mode is admired around the world, he claimed. Congress has been active in elevating a single family. Congress has been actively supporting India's corrupt system. Congress is like rusty iron—if left out in the rain, it will corrode. The national interest is currently neither visible nor understood by Congress, he continued. The Prime Minister stated that Madhya Pradesh must succeed in the upcoming years."This will be a huge loss for the state if Congress, a dynasty party, a party full of corruption, gets a chance (to come into power)," he remarked. The youth in Madhya Pradesh are fortunate to have "not witnessed the bad governance of the Congress government," the Prime Minister remarked, noting that the BJP government there has been in power for almost 20 years. This implies that the young people, who will cast their first ballots in the upcoming elections, have only ever known the BJP government. The current generation of Madhya Pradesh's youth is fortunate not to have experienced the dysfunctional leadership of the Congress government. The state was transformed into "Bimaru Rajya" by the Congress, but the BJP has made an effort to revitalise the state. The BJP government's development efforts and effective leadership have been seen by the local youth, the prime minister stated. He asserted that the 'Karyakarta Mahakumbh' demonstrates the vigour of BJP members. The phrase "Karyakarta Mahakumbh" conveys a lot. This demonstrates what is on people's minds in this place. This demonstrates the enthusiasm of the BJP workers. Madhya Pradesh is the nation's centre. The state's residents have always backed the BJP, he claimed. 'Garibi Hatao' was a motto Congress proposed fifty years ago, according to PM Modi, but it was never implemented. "Their (Congress) leaders, born with silver spoons in their mouths, do not care about the lives of the poor... They view adventure tourism as the poor's way of life... Poor people's colonies are now a popular venue for video shoots for Congress leaders. They have previously done this as well. According to him, the BJP government is presenting the world with a developed and opulent image of the nation. He said that Droupadi Murmu's election to the presidency was thwarted by Congress and other opposition parties. "These (Congress) are the same individuals who did everything in their power to prevent the nation's first tribal woman president, Droupadi Murmu, from taking office.These are the same individuals that have continually attempted to make her feel ashamed. These are the same people who barred daughters from serving on the front lines of the nation's armed forces, he claimed. Madhya Pradesh is one of five states that will hold elections for their assemblies later this year. [caption id="attachment_3165" align="alignnone"…

editor September 25, 2023

JAMMU, Sept 24: Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister in PMO with independent charge of Science and Technology, stated today that the facility will serve the three provinces of J&K, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh, maintaining that it may be a huge benefit for the area. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the opening of Jammu and Kashmir's first-ever state-of-the-art Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) Mumbai affiliated Cancer Care Unit in the new block of Government Medical College Kathua, the Minister stated that the establishment of this state-of-the-art centre is the result of PM Modi's desire to provide people across the nation with affordable and accessible healthcare facilities.On this occasion, he also unveiled GMC Kathua's new Maternal ICU. Dr. Jitendra Singh expressed his pain at the daily calls from various areas of the area from beseeching relatives appealing to arrange for the admission of cancer patients at Tata Hospital Mumbai or to provide for lodging for the attendants. He later made the decision to launch the Tata-affiliated facility in Kathua, and as a result, he shifted the paperwork in the Department of Atomic Energy, which oversees the Tata Memorial Centre in Mumbai. The construction of the Cancer Centre in a convenient location like Kathua, according to the Union Minister, will allow patients from J&K, HP, and Punjab to receive reasonably priced treatment while also saving time and effort.According to Dr. Singh, malignancies of every kind and affecting every organ are occurring worldwide due to factors such as an extended lifespan, altered lifestyles, environmental conditions, etc. Therefore, he said, a Tata Satellite Cancer care facility in Kathua will prove to be a huge benefit for the area. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Tata Memorial Centre satellite hospitals and facilities have opened in numerous locations across the nation. In Guwahati, Onco DM and MCH super speciality courses have been begun, which could one day be considered for Kathua as well.Dr. Jitendra Singh claimed that the Udhampur-Kathua-Doda Parliamentary Constituency, which includes three centrally funded medical colleges, North India's first biotech park in Kathua, the centrally funded Ayurvedic College in Kishtwar, the National Institute of High Altitude Medicine in Bhaderwah, and an upcoming homoeopathy college in Kathua, could be the future "Health Circuit" of the area. Additionally, with the opening of the Day-care Chemotherapy (Onco-care) Unit at GMC Kathua today, the final piece needed for the region to provide accessible and inexpensive cancer care has been added, making cancer treatment more readily available.Onco-care will be upgraded in GMC Kathua in the upcoming years as Onco DM and MCH seats will be provided to it and world-class cancer specialists will be invited here for treatment, lectures, and seminars, Dr. Jitendra Singh told the crowd after officially opening the much-needed Day-care Cancer Chemotherapy Unit. He claimed that training in this area has been given to technicians.The Minister also opened the GMC Kathua's Maternal ICU and donated money to build a 300 LPM oxygen plant. He claimed that because of the COVID pandemic, he realised the need to build an oxygen plant in the hospital to handle future emergencies. According to Dr. Jitendra Singh, India has taken the lead in the production of vaccines for the prevention of cancers like "CERVAVAC" because the country's biotechnology industry is expanding at a rapid rate. By 2025, India is expected to have a $150 billion bioeconomy, up from over $100 billion in 2022.The roadmap for a "Healthy India" under PM Narendra Modi, according to Dr. Jitendra Singh, is affordable, accessible healthcare. This is demonstrated by the fact that more than 260 new medical colleges have been established in the nation, with a 79 percent increase in MBBS seats and a 93 percent increase in PG seats in just 9 years. Additionally, 22 AIIMS have been approved. According to Dr. Singh, India has transitioned from a sectoral and segmented strategy to the delivery of health services to a complete need-based approach, and is now viewed as a role model in crisis management and preventative healthcare.Dr. Jitendra Singh praised PM Narendra Modi for putting "Preventive Health Care" in the country's forefront for the first time because of this, India was able to manufacture two DNA vaccines and one nasal vaccination in just two years. Dr. Jitendra Singh also praised the UT government for providing a location for the opening of the Kathua Cancer Centre. According to Bhupinder Kumar, Secretary of Health and Medical Education for J&K, the opening of the Day-care Chemotherapy Onco-care Unit at GMC Kathua will improve access to and the cost-effectiveness of cancer treatment in the region.Raghunandan Singh Bablu, D C Kathua, Rakesh Minhas, K K Parashar of the Paytem Foundation, Neeraj Goud of the Maha Manav Malviya Mission, and others were present, along with DDC Vice Chairman Kathua.

J&K tops the country in e-Governance Service Delivery

editor September 25, 2023

JAMMU: By offering more than 1028 services for residents, institutions, and commercial organisations online, Jammu and Kashmir has accomplished a huge milestone and outstanding feat in e-governance. The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir took first place in the National e-services Delivery Assessment (NeSDA) report published today by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), Government of India, with an impressive 1028 e-services, beating out Madhya Pradesh with 1010 e-services and Kerala with 911 e-services. With this significant accomplishment, Jammu and Kashmir now leads all other states and UTs in the delivery of e-services.While praising the efforts of all Departments, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said that the success is in line with the J&K administration's commitment and resolve to make services simple, convenient, and accessible to the general public, ushering in a new era of digital governance. This outstanding accomplishment is transforming the social landscape, raising levels of citizen happiness, assuring openness and accountability, and empowering the region's gifted and aspirational youth. This digital revolution, according to him, "represents a significant step towards a governance system that is transparent, accountable, and highly efficient, driven by a 'citizens-first' approach and a steadfast commitment to empowering the public."The number of online services under the Digital J & K initiative has expanded dramatically from 35 services in 2019 to 1028 services as of this writing. The programme was launched in mission mode last year. It is exceptional that J&K has made such a tremendous transition from a backwards state in terms of e-governance to a leader in such a short period of time. This has caused a paradigm shift that has boosted efficiency, accountability, and transparency across the board. A citizen feedback tool is used to continuously assess the tangible decline in corruption and rise in citizen happiness. With an 86% approval rating, over 61 lakh communications have been rented to the public for feedback assessment. Similarly, 73 services have been connected with Digilocker. The Public Services Guarantee Act (PSGA), 2011, has been updated to include online services, demonstrating the seriousness of the government's commitment. To ensure time-bound service delivery and penalties for service delivery delays, almost 300 services have been added to the auto-escalation system. While thanking all Departments on their accomplishment, Chief Secretary Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta stated that it was possible because of their dedication to honest and corruption-free governance.E-service usage and volume have increased dramatically in Jammu and Kashmir, changing the relationship between the government and its citizens like never before. "The Government of Jammu and Kashmir has adopted a robust model of e-Governance and a citizen-centric approach, which has resulted in an exponential rise in the number of online services and the availability of services 24 hours a day, seven days a week," he said. By eliminating the need to attend government offices, integration with systems like Digilocker, Aadhaar, and e-payment/SMS Gateways has further improved the comfort of life and convenience of citizens. He also expressed his gratitude to the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) for their steadfast assistance throughout this incredible trip, during which our online services multiplied. V Srinivas, the DARPG union secretary, praised the UT administration for accomplishing this remarkable task. He said that the NeSDA framework, created by DARPG, has been instrumental in boosting e-service adoption, volume, and quality. The UT Government's determination and DARPG's persistent dedication to transforming governance via technology are demonstrated by this accomplishment. DARPG has established a standard for states and UTs across the country through the NeSDA framework. He pledged his full support for the UT Administration's transition to the digital age.

Congress strong in all 90 assembly seats of J&K

editor September 24, 2023

SRINAGAR: In Jammu and Kashmir's 90 assembly seats, the Congress asserted on Sunday that it is unbeatable, while the National Conference, BJP, and PDP have relatively minor sway. "All 90 Jammu and Kashmir constituencies accept the Congress. According to Pradesh Congress Committee President Vikar Rasool, after elections are held, the Congress party will be the only major player because the influence of other parties like the NC, BJP, and PDP is quite little. On Sunday, Rasool welcomed a sizable number of political activists into the party and noted that many activists from other parties had joined Congress over the previous year. "Nearly 80% of Aam Aadmi Party members in Jammu have joined Congress. The AAP has shut down its Jammu office. Nearly 80% of DPAP employees are now members of Congress. People from other parties have also joined us, he said. The PCC president praised the BJP leaders for trying to claim credit for the release of religious leaders in Jammu and Kashmir, but he also welcomed their release. "Arresting religious leaders like Mirwaiz, Veeri, and Dawoodi was wrong. Veeri and Dawoodi were held under the PSA, and a court ultimately released them on bond. After four years, Mirwaiz received his release. We appreciate it. No religious leader, of any religion, should be imprisoned, according to Rasool. "At the moment, some leaders are taking selfies with these religious leaders in order to gain attention. Then you won't feel guilty about snapping selfies with them," he said. "First you jail them. When asked about the tension in relations between India and Canada, Rasool responded, "It is the failure of the government's foreign policy the way we have friction in relations with some countries." He claimed that the purpose of the "one nation, one election" panel was to deflect attention from the important concerns. "BJP aims to deflect people's focus from important issues. The 'one nation, one election' committee is made up exclusively of BJP members, he continued.

Panel on simultaneous polls holds first meeting

editor September 23, 2023

NEW DELHI: The high-level committee established by former president Ram Nath Kovind to examine the viability of simultaneous elections met here on Saturday to decide on its course of action and talk on how to hold stakeholder consultations. The eight-member "high-level" group was notified by the government on September 2 to look into the subject of holding simultaneous elections for the Lok Sabha, state assemblies, municipalities, and panchayats and to give suggestions as soon as possible. People with knowledge of the situation described the meeting as introductory in nature and said it was called to talk about the plan for carrying out the panel's mandate. The meeting's agenda included the creation of working papers, the process for consulting with stakeholders, and research on the topic in preparation for an in-depth discussion. The group includes the Home Minister Amit Shah, the former opposition leader in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad, and the former chairman of the Finance Commission N K Singh. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, was a participant. He did, however, deny Shah's invitation to join the panel in a letter. "I am adamantly refusing to serve on the committee whose terms of reference have been crafted to ensure the accuracy of its findings. It is a complete eyewash, I'm afraid," Chowdhury had written in the letter. The government statement stated that the panel will start working right away and offer recommendations "as soon as possible," but it did not give a deadline for the submission of the report. The opposition group INDIA, which held its conclave in Mumbai on September 1, was taken aback by the decision to form a committee under the former president Kovind, which inflamed the political climate even more. The decision had been denounced by the opposition alliance as a "threat" to the federal government of the nation. Subhash C. Kashyap, a prominent attorney, Harish Salve, and Sanjay Kothari, a former chief vigilance commissioner, are also members of the committee. Arjun Ram Meghwal, the law minister, will be a special invitee to the committee meetings, while Niten Chandra, the law secretary, will serve as the panel's secretary. The committee will review and make recommendations for specific revisions to the Representation of the People Act, the Constitution, and any other laws and regulations that would need to be changed in order to hold simultaneous elections.Additionally, it has been asked to "specifically suggest the phases and time-frame within which simultaneous elections may be held if they cannot be held in one go" and to suggest a framework for synchronising elections. Additionally, it will assess whether state ratification of constitutional amendments is necessary and make a recommendation. Certain Constitutional modifications must be ratified by state assembly in a majority of the states. The committee will also examine and make recommendations for potential responses to events like a hung house, the adoption of a motion of no confidence, defections, or any other similar occurrence in the case of concurrent elections. Additionally, "necessary safeguards for ensuring the continuity of the cycle of simultaneous elections" as well as "necessary amendments to the Constitution so that the cycle of simultaneous elections is not disturbed" are requested of the panel. The panel will also discuss logistics since the extensive election will require more electronic voting machines (EVMs), paper-trail machines, polling places, and security personnel. The adoption of a single electoral roll and electoral identity cards for voter identification in elections for the Lok Sabha, state legislative assemblies, municipalities, and panchayats will also be examined. A shared electoral roll will help cut costs and avoid people from being deployed for work that another agency is already engaged on, according to a recent report from a legislative committee. State election commissioners (SECs) conduct local body elections, whereas the Election Commission (EC) is required to conduct parliamentary and assembly elections. According to the Constitution, the EC and the SECs are different organisations with a set mission. Elections for the Lok Sabha (543 MPs), Vidhan Sabha (4,120 MLAs), and panchayats and municipalities (30 lakh members) were initially proposed to be held concurrently.The notification noted that from 1951–1952 to 1967, when the cycle was broken, elections for the Lok Sabha and legislative assemblies were generally held at the same time. Today, elections are held nearly every year and several times within a year, requiring significant expenditures from the government and other stakeholders. Additionally, it causes the security forces and other election officials to be diverted from their main responsibilities for noticeably longer periods of time. It said that frequent polls interfere with developmental efforts because the Model Code of Conduct is applied too strictly. Kovind had recently received a briefing on the panel's terms of reference from top law ministry officials. Following the panel's notification, Kovind had also met with Shah and Meghwal. Their encounter with Kovind was referred to as a "courtesy call" by sources. [caption id="attachment_3108" align="alignnone"…
