विपक्ष के नेता के रूप में, जेटली सरकार का पक्ष सुनते थे: उपराष्ट्रपति धनखड़

उपराष्ट्रपति जगदीप धनखड़ ने बुधवार को कहा कि राज्यसभा में नेता प्रतिपक्ष के रूप में दिवंगत अरुण जेटली सरकार के पक्ष को सुनते थे. दूसरे दृष्टिकोण को भी स्वीकार करते थे. यह नजरिया आज ‘‘100 प्रतिशत'' नदारद है. उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि जेटली की ‘‘सबसे बड़ी विफलताओं'' में से एक यह है कि वह ‘‘कभी एक भी दुश्मन नहीं बना सके.''

उपराष्ट्रपति ने जेटली की पत्नी संगीता जेटली की मौजूदगी में ‘पहली अरुण जेटली स्मृति परिचर्चा' के समापन पर ये टिप्पणियां कीं. धनखड़ ने कहा, ‘‘राज्यसभा के सभापति के रूप में मैं उन्हें हर दिन याद करता हूं. अगर आप राजनीतिक परिदृश्य को देखें, तो आपको दूसरे अरुण जेटली नहीं मिलेंगे.''

उन्होंने कहा कि पश्चिम बंगाल के राज्यपाल के रूप में, उन्हें ‘‘एक सख्त मुख्यमंत्री (ममता बनर्जी) का सामना करना पड़ा था.'' उन्होंने कहा, ‘‘लेकिन वह (बनर्जी) भी जेटली की प्रशंसक थीं. जेटली ने इस तरह की प्रतिष्ठा अर्जित की थी.''

पिछले साल उपराष्ट्रपति चुने जाने से पहले धनखड़ तीन साल तक पश्चिम बंगाल के राज्यपाल रहे थे. धनखड़ ने कहा कि राज्यसभा में विपक्ष के नेता के रूप में जेटली सरकार का पक्ष सुनते थे. उन्होंने कहा कि सरकार हमेशा आश्वस्त रहती थी कि अगर तर्कसंगत बात है, तो उसका समर्थन किया जायेगा.

उन्होंने कहा कि राज्यसभा में सदन के नेता के रूप में, जेटली के लिए उनकी सीट के अलावा कुछ भी नहीं बदला था. उन्होंने कहा कि उनकी विनम्रता और बढ़ गई थी. कार्यक्रम का आयोजन यहां श्रीराम कॉलेज ऑफ कॉमर्स ने किया था.

No Half Measures, Isolated Action In Approach Against Corruption: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said government schemes such as direct benefit transfer (DBT) and power and water connections gave a sense of security to the poor, who were now accelerating the country's growth.

Addressing the Republic Summit here, PM Modi also said some people were angry at him because he had stopped the means for them to do corruption and make money.

He said his government has integrated and institutionalised the approach against corruption and that there were no half measures and isolated action. "Some are bound to abuse me (for this)," he added.

He said schemes such as DBT and those ensuring that the poor get access to electricity, water, toilets have brought a revolution at the ground level and filled even the poorest of the poor with a sense of security and dignity.

"Those who were made to believe that they were a burden on the country's growth are driving the growth story today," the prime minister said.

PM Modi said his government was mocked by many when public welfare schemes were unveiled, but the same initiatives were driving India's growth.

"Poor people now believe they will get their rightful share, it is social justice in true sense," the prime minister said.

PM Modi said the New India's story of transformation was both timeless and futuristic.

Manish Sisodia Likely To Get Bail In Liquor Policy Case Today

A Delhi court is likely to deliver its order on the bail application of AAP leader Manish Sisodia in a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam today.

Special Judge M K Nagpal had reserved the order after hearing arguments on Sisodia's application seeking relief claiming that his custody was no longer required for investigation.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had opposed the application, asserting the investigation was at a "crucial" stage and claiming the former Delhi deputy chief minister had planted fabricated e-mails to show there was public approval for the policy.

The federal anti-money laundering agency had also said it has found fresh evidence of his complicity in the alleged crime.

The court had on March 31 dismissed Sisodia's bail application in the corruption case, being probed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), saying he was "prima facie the architect" in the criminal conspiracy behind alleged payment of advance kickbacks of around Rs 90-100 crore meant for him and his colleagues in the Delhi government.

The court had observed the release of the senior AAP leader, at the moment, will "adversely affect the ongoing investigation".

The CBI and the ED had arrested Sisodia for alleged corruption in the formulation and execution of the now-scrapped Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 and for laundering the money so generated.

"Criminals Begging For Mercy Now": Yogi Adityanath On UP Law And Order

Criminals in Uttar Pradesh walked around with their heads held high but now they hang placards around their necks begging for their lives, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Tuesday while campaigning for the urban local body elections.

Adityanath addressed elections rallies in Unnao and Rae Bareli ahead of the polls, scheduled to take place in two phases on May 4 and May 11.

Addressing an election rally in Rae Bareli, Adityanath said, "BJP ki ek hi yukti, pradesh ko dilai mafia se mukti (The BJP has only one solution which has rid the sate of criminals)'. The mafia are begging for mercy to lead regular lives and earn livelihood by honest means due to zero tolerance against crime." He also took a dig at the previous regimes, saying people associated with a particular party would brandish country-made pistols while the youths now are working on smartphones and tablets.

Adityanath was referring to the Uttar Pradesh government's drive to distribute tablets and smartphones free of cost to one crore undergraduate and postgraduate students as part of a push to the link the state's youths with the Digital India campaign.

Addressing another rally in Unnao, Adityanath said, "Before 2017, traders were exploited and extorted. Today, they are benefitting from the PM SVANidhi scheme. Prior to 2017, there was terror of miscreants while today, cities are being made safe.

"Earlier, there were heaps of garbage but cities are becoming smart today. Now, there is no place for mafia-criminals, crime, corruption and corrupt people in Uttar Pradesh." The BJP defeated the Samajwadi Party to form the government in Uttar Pradesh in 2017. Adityanath became the chief minister for the second consecutive term after assembly polls last year, a feat achieved in India's most populous state after over three decades.

Speaking in Unnao, he said, "This is the new Uttar Pradesh. Government facilities are being given as per eligibility. We consider every citizen of Uttar Pradesh to be a member of our family, so no one can claim that there was caste or religious discrimination." "No extortions or kidnappings for ransom, Uttar Pradesh is no longer anyone's fiefdom," the chief minister said.

He also criticised the previous regimes for creating law and order problems that prevented girls from going to school.

"(Earlier) the youths faced an identity crisis. The nation's reputation suffered and scams became prevalent. The perception of India has changed since 2014. People now look at the youth of India with respect. Today, India is making progress in every field," Adityanath said.

Adityanath said India has transformed in the last nine years and that transformation has become the centre of attraction for the world. The dream of 140 crore people in India is being fulfilled without any discrimination under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Similarly, there has been a change in how Uttar Pradesh is perceived inside India in the last six years, he added.

In the last six years, the "double engine government" has provided a house each to more than 54 lakh poor people in rural and urban areas while toilets have been built for 2.61 crore underprivileged.

Adityanath said the civic elections are not a small matter and are meant to add a "third engine" to the existing "double engine government" of the BJP in the state to accelerate its development.

The prime minister's vision is the mission of Uttar Pradesh, he said. The Ganga Expressway is being constructed to connect western Uttar Pradesh with the state's central and eastern parts and will benefit the people of Unnao, the chief minister said.

The expressway will allow people to travel to Delhi in six hours and Prayagraj in two, he added.

Unnao and Rae Bareli will go to the polls in the first phase on May 4. The votes will be counted on May 13.

The elections are seen as setting the tone for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh, which sends 80 lawmakers to Parliament.

VIDEO: आसमान में दिखा खौफनाक मंजर, प्लेन में अचानक से उठा धुंआ, मच गई अफरा-तफरी

बीते कुछ सालों से बड़ी संख्या में प्लेन क्रैश होने के मामले सामने आए हैं. अकेले पिछले साल ग्लोबल लेवल पर 12 प्लेन क्रैश हुए थे. हाल ही में एक ऐसा ही वीडियो सोशल मीडिया पर तेजी से वायरल हो रहा है, जहां एक प्लेन में धुंआ उठता हुआ नजर आ रहा है. हालांकि, जिस हैंडल ने ये वीडियो शेयर किया है, उसके मुताबिक, पायलट ने इस प्लेन की सुरक्षित लैंडिंग करा दी है, लेकिन वीडियो को देखने से पता चल रहा है कि कैसे इस परिस्थिति में सफर कर रहे लोग खौफजदा हो गए थे.

वायरल हो रहे इस वीडियो में साफ देखा जा सकता है कि, एक प्लेन के अंदर धुआं उठ रहा है और यात्री चिल्ला रहे हैं. इस बीच शायद कुछ यात्रियों की तबियत भी खराब हुई है, क्योंकि धुंए के बीच खांसने की आवाजें भी आ रही हैं. शेयर करने वाले सोशल मीडिया हैंडल के मुताबिक, प्लेन में यह स्थिति इंजन में कुछ कमी के चलते हुई है, लेकिन अच्छी बात यह है कि पायलट ने सूझ-बूझ का परिचय देते हुए प्लेन को सुरक्षित लैंड करवाया और किसी भी यात्री को कोई हानि नहीं हुई.
