जैसे ही भारतपे के सीईओ सुहेल समीर ने इस्तीफा दिया, अशनीर ग्रोवर ने ट्वीट की एक कविता

भारतपे के मुख्य कार्यकारी अधिकारी सुहैल समीर ने सोमवार को अपने पद से इस्तीफा दे दिया. बताया जाता है कि इनका पूर्व में कंपनी से हटे सह-संस्थापक अशनीर ग्रोवर के साथ मतभेद था. अब समीर के इस्तीफे के बाद प्रतिक्रिया देते हुए अशनीर ग्रोवर ने मंगलवार को ट्विटर पर एक कविता के साथ कंपनी पर निशाना साधा. 

ग्रोवर ने फर्म के संस्थापक शाश्वत नाकरानी को फटकार लगाई और उनसे "आदमी बनने और व्यवसाय की देखभाल करने" के लिए तंज भरे लहजे मे आह्वान किया. उन्होंने लिखा, "2023 की शुरुआत के लिए कविता: 'चला गया सुहैल समीर - वह एक नल्ला था! शाश्वत - तुम आदमी क्यों नहीं बनते और गल्ला संभालो ?" साथ ही उन्होंने उन लोगों के लिए कुछ हिंदी शब्दों का अंग्रेजी में किए गए प्रयोग का रुपांतर भी दिया ताकि बात लोगों तक पहुंचे. 1) नल्ला (नालायक) अक्षम / अक्षम है और 2) गल्ला है / बिजनेस.

Poem for start of 2023:

‘Chala gaya Suhail Sameer - he was a nalla !
Shashvat - why don't you man up and sambhalo the galla ?!'

For my English speaking friends: 1) Nalla (Nalayak) is incompetent / incapable and 2) Galla is business / helm of affairs.

— Ashneer Grover (@Ashneer_Grover) January 3, 2023

ग्रोवर के ट्वीट को कुछ ही घंटों में पांच हजार से अधिक लाइक्स और तीन लाख से अधिक बार देखा गया है.

इस बीच, BharatPe ने वर्तमान मुख्य वित्तीय अधिकारी (CFO) नलिन नेगी को कंपनी का अंतरिम सीईओ नियुक्त किया है, जब तक कि इसके बोर्ड को सुहैल समीर के लिए कोई अलटरनेटिव नहीं मिल जाता, जो पद से हट गए हैं. कंपनी ने एक बयान में कहा कि समीर 7 जनवरी से प्रभावी रूप से सीईओ से रणनीतिक सलाहकार बनेंगे.

कंपनी ने कहा, "यह (समीर के लिए नई भूमिका) वर्तमान सीएफओ, नलिन नेगी के लिए एक सुचारु परिवर्तन सुनिश्चित करेगा. BharatPe ने यह भी कहा कि इसके निदेशक मंडल ने एक प्रमुख फर्म को अगले सीईओ की नियुक्ति के लिए चयन का काम सौंपा है.

Kamal Nath's Big Promise To Backward Classes If Congress Returns To Power

Aiming to consolidate his party's position among the Other Backward Classes ahead of the Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh, senior Congress leader and former chief minister Kamal Nath said on Thursday his party would amend the Constitution for the benefit of the OBC community if it returns to power at the Centre.

The Madhya Pradesh Congress president accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of cheating the OBCs in the state, where polls are due by the end of 2023.

"I promise that whenever our government comes to power at the Centre, it will amend the Constitution to extend the benefit of reservation to the OBC community," Kamal Nath said at an OBC community rally in Satna town.

Sources close to Kamal Nath said such a constitutional amendment will ensure removal of the 50 per cent cap on quota in jobs and education, and uniformity in implementation of 27 per cent reservation for the OBCs in all states.

"When our government was in power in Madhya Pradesh, it had given 27 per cent reservation to the OBCs in the state (up from 14 per cent earlier), but the BJP cheated them (the community) and dragged the matter to court," he alleged.

The Congress leader sought to know what the BJP had given to the people of the state despite being in power for the last 18 years barring the brief period in 2018-20 when his party governed Madhya Pradesh.

Kamal Nath slammed Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, saying he has made more than 20,000 announcements and accused his government of committing a scam in the name of "smart city" project.

He said, "It is not a smart city (project), but a smart scam. Chouhan himself has said he is a machine of making announcements." Kamal Nath said the Constitution framed by Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar is known the world over and many countries adopted similar statute book and warned India's culture was in danger today.

"It was a challenge for him (Dr Ambedkar) to make a Constitution for such a diverse country but he drafted a great Constitution for the nation based on which leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel took the nation forward," said the former Union minister.

"But today India's culture is in danger and you have to decide whether you want to tread the path of Modi (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) or the path shown by the country's culture," he said.

Accusing the BJP of spreading hatred and indulging in divisive politics, he said the country is witnessing a linguistic dispute in Tamil Nadu and pro-Khalistan slogans were raised in Punjab after 35 years.

During his stint as the Chief Minister between December 2018 and March 2020, Nath said his government waived agricultural loans of 27 lakh farmers, provided 100 units of electricity for Rs 100 and raised the pension for the poor.

"But they (BJP) toppled the government by indulging in 'soudebazi' (horse-trading)," he said, referring to the revolt by a section of Congress MLAs loyal to Union minister Jyotiraditya Scindia whose defection to the saffron outfit pulled down the Congress regime.

Talking to reporters earlier, Kamal Nath said his government had allotted Rs 22 crore for developing 'Ram Van Gaman Path' in Chitrakoot (as it is believed Lord Ram resided in this area for most part of his 14-year exile) but the current government has no record of the project.

"This (Satna) area is rich in natural as well as mineral resources but unfortunately industrialisation activities have stopped here. Only cement factories that were established 25-30 years back are existing. No new investment was made here," he said.

Asked about the row over claims of alleged obscene videos of BJP leaders, Kamal Nath said, "When our government was in power, such types of videos and CDs had surfaced but I had directed officials to probe them in a proper manner as I didn't want the state's image to get sullied."

Criticising the ruling party for filing FIRs (first information reports) against Congress MLAs over "trivial" matters, Leader of Opposition Dr Govind Singh recently claimed the Congress was in possession of "obscene CDs and videos of some BJP leaders".

Reacting to the former Chief Minister's comments, Madhya Pradesh home minister and government spokesperson Narottam Mishra said, "It is time for Nath to sit on temple steps and sing devotional songs. Why is he keeping and watching these CDs?"

"The Congress should hand over these CDs to courts, police or a special investigative team (SIT) to probe them. Instead of these CDs, had he (Nath) focused on his MLAs, then his government would have not fallen," Narottam Mishra said.

कंझावला केस : अंजलि की दोस्त निधि पर उसके पड़ोसी ने लगाया धमकी देने का आरोप

कंझावला मामले में अंजलि की सहेली निधि पर धमकी देने का आरोप लगाया गया है. निधि ने कथित रूप से फोन पर पड़ोसी निशांत को धमकी दी है. निधि ने निशांत से कहा कि उसके खिलाफ जो मीडिया में बयान दिया है उसका अंजाम भुगतना होगा. 

निशांत ने मीडिया को बयान दिया था कि निधि ने घर आने के बाद उससे चार्जर मांगा था. उस वक्त वह बाहर बैठा हुआ था, लेकिन उसने दुर्घटना के बारे में नहीं बताया था. निशांत ने सुल्तानपुरी थाने में निधि के खिलाफ शिकायत दी है.

अंजलि सिंह के परिवार ने बुधवार को दावा किया था कि उन्होंने निधि को न तो कभी देखा था और न ही उसके बारे में अंजलि से सुना था. निधि झूठ बोल रही है और उस पर हत्या का आरोप लगाया जाना चाहिए. दुर्घटना वाले दिन के बारे में निधि ने कहा था कि अंजलि नशे में थी और खुद स्कूटी चलाने पर जोर दे रही थी.

अंजलि के परिवार के डॉक्टर ने निधि के इन दावों को भी खारिज कर दिया कि दुर्घटना की रात अंजलि बहुत नशे में थी, यह कहते हुए कि शव परीक्षण रिपोर्ट में उसके पेट में शराब का कोई अंश नहीं मिला. अंजलि की मां ने संवाददाताओं से कहा कि उनकी बेटी ने अपने जीवन में कभी शराब नहीं पी है. रेखा देवी ने कहा, "मैंने निधि को कभी देखा या सुना नहीं है. वह कभी हमारे घर नहीं आई. वह झूठ बोल रही है. मेरी बेटी ने कभी शराब नहीं पी. वह कभी शराब पीकर घर नहीं आई. निधि झूठ बोल रही है."

अंजलि की नए साल के शुरुआती घंटों में मौत हो गई थी. 31 दिसंबर को पार्टी कर घर लौट रही अंजलि की स्कूटी को एक जनवरी को तड़के करीब दो बजे एक कार ने टक्कर मार दी थी और उसे 13 किलोमीटर तक घसीटती चली गई. अंजलि का शव बाहरी दिल्ली के कंझावला में मिला था. कथित तौर पर कार में सवार पांच लोगों पर गैर इरादतन हत्या समेत अन्य धाराओं के तहत मामला दर्ज किया गया है. पांचों आरोपियों को सोमवार को तीन दिन की पुलिस हिरासत में भेज दिया गया.

अंजलि के चाचा प्रेम ने निधि के बयानों पर सवाल उठाते हुए कहा, "उसने घटना की जानकारी किसी को क्यों नहीं दी? वह झूठ बोल रही है. उसने पुलिस और अपने परिवार को सूचित क्यों नहीं किया? वह पुलिस के पास क्यों नहीं गई? हम पुलिस जांच से संतुष्ट हैं, लेकिन उन्हें कड़ी कार्रवाई करनी चाहिए. यह दुर्घटना नहीं, बल्कि हत्या है. निधि पर धारा 302 लगनी चाहिए."

अंजलि के फैमिली डॉक्टर भूपेश ने कहा कि यह सामान्य हत्या नहीं थी. उन्होंने कहा, "ऑटोप्सी रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, पेट के अंदर खाना था. अगर वह नशे में होती, तो रिपोर्ट में रसायन की मौजूदगी का जिक्र होता. लेकिन रिपोर्ट कहती है कि केवल भोजन (पेट के अंदर) का पता चला है." डॉक्टर ने कहा, "एक हत्या को जघन्य तब माना जाता है, जब पीड़ित को मौत से पहले क्रूरता से प्रताड़ित किया जाता है. पोस्टमॉर्टम रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, उसे 40 चोटें आईं थीं."

निधि ने पहले कहा था कि अंजलि को अपनी कार के नीचे घसीटने के आरोपी पांच लोगों ने उसे "जानबूझकर" मार डाला, क्योंकि वे यह जानने के बावजूद गाड़ी चलाते रहे कि अंजलि वाहन के नीचे फंसी हुई है. उस भयावह रात को याद करते हुए निधि ने कहा कि कार में कोई म्यूजिक नहीं चल रहा था. ड्राइवर को पता था कि अंजलि को पहियों के नीचे घसीटा जा रहा है.

निधि ने कहा था कि अंजलि कार के नीचे फंस गई और उसे कार में घसीटा गया. कार में सवार लोगों ने एक बार भी अंजलि को बचाने की कोशिश नहीं की. उसने कहा था कि उसने दुर्घटना के बारे में किसी को नहीं बताया, क्योंकि वह डरी हुई थी और उसे डर था कि इसके लिए उसे दोषी ठहराया जाएगा.

Centre Checking "Trivial Matters" While Denying Funds: Mamata Banerjee

A Central team's Bengal visit to look into allegations of irregularities in the allotment of houses under Pradhan Matri Awas Yojna (PMAY) on Thursday sparked off a political slugfest with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accusing Delhi of sending officers to check on "trivial matters" while denying the state funds.

The ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) termed the visits by the central teams to Malda and East Midnapore districts as a "political vendetta" by the BJP-led government at the Centre, while the state BJP alleged there had been a scam in the PM's Awas Yojana (Rural housing scheme) and which is why "Centre has sent teams to the state".

The state's political cauldron has been on the boil for the last few days over allegations and counter allegations of irregularities in the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) after it was found applications by several people having multi-storied homes were approved in some districts.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, reacting to the central teams' visit, lashed out stating, "The Centre is sending teams to Bengal for trivial matters - even if there is an incident of cracker being burst, it sends teams." 

Raking up the issue of non-payment of funds for the 100 days work scheme to the state, she said at a function at Gangasagar, "The Centre is not releasing funds under MGNREGS. But it is sending central teams to assess the implementation of PMAY. We have already investigated and cancelled 17 lakh applications by those who own two to three-storied buildings."

She also accused BJP leaders of "taking the money from PMAY despite having two-three storied buildings." "We (Bengal) are not getting funds for the 100 days work scheme. The poor people are working but not getting paid and dues are pending. How many times should I have to ask the Centre for money?" the chief minister asked rhetorically.

The Union Rural Development ministry sent a communication to the state government on January 3 informing it about the visit. Deputy secretary Shakti Kanti Singh and director Shailesh Kumar of the central rural development department are leading the teams in Malda and East Midnapore respectively.

Echoing Ms Banerjee, West Bengal Minister of State for Finance Chandrima Bhattacharya said the state government has already filtered out close to 17 lakh ineligible people from the list.

"In 2018, 56 lakh people were on the allotment list, and the State government set up a system to re-check this number to identify genuine beneficiaries. We have already filtered out close to 17 lakh ineligible people. This has left the pool at 39 lakhs. This makes it clear that the Government of West Bengal has taken proactive measures to create an error-free list," she said.

"Two central teams are visiting the districts of Malda and East Midnapore district for field inspection. They can visit any place they want," state Panchayat and rural development minister Pradip Majumdar told PTI.

Senior BJP leader Rahul Sinha dubbed the allegations as "baseless" and founded on vendetta politics.

"There has been a scam in PMAY, which is why the Centre has sent teams to the state. There has to be accountability for receiving central funds as it is public money. The TMC is involved in this scam and that is why it is so terrified of the visit," he said.

Meanwhile, members of the central team who went to Bhagabanpur under Purba Medinipur district's Kanthi subdivision faced a demonstration by a section of villagers who blocked their cars demanding the release of their wages under the 100-day job guarantee scheme.

"We have not got paid for work under the 100-day job guarantee scheme. We are facing financial difficulty," Malati Baidya, an agitating local woman said.

The team went ahead with their scheduled visit after accompanying policemen managed to convince them to move away.

A district BJP leader accused TMC of engineering the protest in a bid to overshadow disquiet among people in the villages with regard to irregularities in PMAY.

Denying the allegation, a TMC leader said it was a spontaneous demonstration by aggrieved locals, claiming that the Narendra Modi government has squeezed MGNREGS (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme) fund allocation for Bengal.

बेरोजगारी के कारण युवाओं को शादी के लिए लड़की नहीं मिल रहीं : एनसीपी नेता शरद पवार

बेरोजगारी को लेकर केंद्र और महाराष्ट्र की भारतीय जनता पार्टी (भाजपा) के नेतृत्व वाली सरकारों की आलोचना करते हुए राष्ट्रवादी कांग्रेस पार्टी (राकांपा) के प्रमुख शरद पवार ने बुधवार को कहा कि इससे सामाजिक समस्याएं पैदा हो रही हैं क्योंकि विवाह योग्य युवकों की शादी नहीं हो रही. यहां राकांपा के जन जागरण अभियान को हरी झंडी दिखाने से पहले पवार ने कहा कि समुदायों के बीच दरार पैदा की जा रही है और महंगाई तथा बेरोजगारी जैसे वास्तविक मुद्दों से ध्यान हटाने की कोशिश की जा रही है.

पवार ने कहा, ‘‘देश में भुखमरी के मुद्दे का समाधान संभव है क्योंकि हमारे किसानों ने उत्पादन बढ़ाया है, लेकिन सत्ता में बैठे लोग किसानों को उचित पारिश्रमिक देने के लिए तैयार नहीं हैं, बल्कि वे बिचौलियों के हितों की रक्षा कर रहे हैं और आम लोगों को महंगाई की खाई में धकेल रहे हैं.''

पूर्व केंद्रीय कृषि मंत्री ने कहा कि आज का युवा शिक्षित है और उसे नौकरी मांगने का अधिकार है. उन्होंने कहा कि उद्योग महाराष्ट्र से बाहर जा रहे हैं, मौजूदा उद्योगों को कोई प्रोत्साहन नहीं दिया जा रहा है तथा नए व्यवसाय स्थापित करने के लिए कोई अवसर नहीं दिया जा रहा है, जिससे बेरोजगारी बढ़ रही है.

"Before It's Too Late": President Murmu's Call To Combat Climate Change

Expressing concern over climate change, President Droupadi Murmu said the impact of increasing temperatures and uncertainty of weather is visible and corrective measures should be taken before it is too late.

Addressing the inaugural function of the 18th National Jamboree of Scouts and Guides in Rajasthan's Pali district, President Murmu asked the volunteers to play a role in creating awareness for biodiversity protection, ecological balance and promotion of responsible tourism practices.

She said the menace of climate change is more serious and the impact of increasing temperatures and uncertainty of weather is visible and before it's too late, corrective measures will have to be taken.

President Murmu said the scouts and guides can play an important role in creating awareness of adopting green energy, decreasing the carbon footprint and promoting sustainable development practices.

"You are the makers of the future. Your responsibility is to give a beautiful shape to the future of India. You all should move ahead in facing future challenges. The world is changing at a fast pace and you have to be future-ready," she said.

The President appreciated the scouts and guides for their work and contribution in Covid management during the pandemic.

About 35,000 scouts, guides and adult leaders of the Scouts and Guides organisation from different corners of the country and SAARC countries are participating in the 18th National Jamboree from January 4-10.

Governor Mishra said the organisation associated with discipline, service and dedication is basically reflection of the Indian culture of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'.

He called upon the scouts and guides organisation to give priority to the welfare of all and work considering human service as its goal.

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said being a scout-guide is a matter of pride. "Here one learns to be disciplined, do social service and follow the great culture of the country," he said.

Ashok Gehlot said there are more than 12 lakh scouts and guides in the state.

During the programme, guests, participants and the crowd were enthralled by various formations and an aerial show by the Suryakiran Aerobatic Team of the Indian Air Force.

Education Minister B D Kalla, Agriculture Minister Lalchand Kataria, Minister of State for Education Zahida Khan, Chairman of Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation Dharmendra Rathore, National President of Bharat Scouts and Guides Anil Kumar Jain, Chief National Commissioner K K Khandelwal, State Chief Commissioner Niranjan Arya were also present on the occasion, according to a release.
