Bhairon Singh Shekhawat was an Ajatshatru of modern politics: Gajendra Singh Shekhawat
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 23 (IANS) Union Minister for Culture and Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekhawat paid tribute to former Vice President Bhairon Singh Shekhawat, describing him as an Ajatshatru of modern politics, a leader with no enemies, and an ideal public servant who remained connected to the common people. Speaking to the media on the occasion of his birth anniversary, the Union Minister said Bhairon Singh Shekhawat rose from an ordinary family to the office of Vice President through hard work, perseverance, political acumen and his deep understanding of public concerns. He said Shekhawats political journey, marked by challenges and ups and downs, set an example for leaders across generations. Many politicians in Rajasthan and other parts of North India had benefited from his guidance and experience, learning from his leadership and administrative approach. Describing him as a towering banyan tree of Indian politics, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said the former Vice President maintained close ties with Rajasthan even after assuming the countrys high constitutional office. He continued to nurture relationships with villages, hamlets, known locally as dhanis, and panchayats. Highlighting Shekhawats contribution to public welfare, the Union Minister said the Antyodaya scheme reflected his commitment to improving the lives of poor and disadvantaged communities. During his tenure as Rajasthan Chief Minister, beginning in 1977, initiatives related to food grain distribution and food-for-work programmes were undertaken to support vulnerable sections of society. Shekhawat said these measures demonstrated the importance of inclusive governance and ensuring that public welfare initiatives reached those most in need. He also highlighted the former Chief Ministers role in expanding grassroots political participation through Panchayati Raj institutions. According to the minister, elections to these institutions on party symbols helped the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strengthen its organisational presence in villages, remote settlements and tribal areas across Rajasthan. Referring to the ongoing Panchayati Raj elections, the Union Minister expressed confidence that the BJP would receive public support similar to that witnessed in the local body elections. He claimed that the BJP had secured support in more than 70 per cent of urban local bodies across Rajasthan. In western Rajasthan, he said, the party had formed governing boards in 36 of the 41 local bodies. Shekhawat expressed confidence that this support would translate into a strong performance in the Panchayati Raj elections.

Rajasthan: ACB arrests director, lecturer and teacher of Global BD College in bribery case
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 23 (IANS) Acting on the directions of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Headquarters, the ACB unit in Banswara conducted a trap operation on Friday and caught Bhupendra Jain, a Chemistry teacher at Global BD College, Barodiya, Banswara district, red-handed while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000 from a complainant. The college director, Siddhant Jain, and Political Science lecturer Dr Siddhant Jain were also arrested in connection with the case. The ACB's Banswara unit received a complaint alleging that the director, a lecturer and a teacher of Global BD College, Barodiya, were demanding bribes in exchange for facilitating attendance-related matters for students despite their low attendance throughout the academic year and issuing internship letters. Following the complaint, the ACB verified the alleged demand for a bribe. During verification, the college director, the Political Science lecturer and Bhupendra Jain, a Chemistry teacher, were allegedly found to be demanding Rs 20,000 from each student and agreeing to accept bribes. Under the supervision of the concerned ACB Range Superintendent of Police, Piyush Piyush, a trap operation was conducted on Friday under the leadership of Deputy Superintendent of Police Ratna Singh Rajpurohit of the ACB Banswara unit, along with the team. During the operation, Bhupendra Jain, Chemistry teacher at Global BD College, Barodiya, Banswara, was caught red-handed while allegedly accepting Rs 5,000 from the complainant. The college director and Dr Dominique Jain, Political Science lecturer, were also arrested after their alleged key roles in the bribery demand came to light during the investigation. Further questioning and investigation are underway under the supervision of senior ACB officials, including Additional Superintendent of Police Smita Shri and Inspector General of Police S. Parimala. Further legal action will be taken under the relevant provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, and the investigation will continue.
Bikaner House photo row: Rajasthan BJP questions use of name Rajiv Gandhi with Raihan Vadra
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 23 (IANS) BJP Rajasthan chief Madan Rathore on Friday questioned the use of the name Rajiv Gandhi in reference to Raihan Vadra, as the political dispute surrounding the removal of photographs from his exhibition at Delhis Bikaner House continues to intensify. Raihan Vadra is the son of Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi and businessman Robert Vadra. Perhaps I shouldn't say it; you might end up calling it a controversial statement, but if you look into it, he is being referred to as Rehan Rajiv Gandhi, Rathore said. Questioning the use of the name, he added, Why are you attaching the name Rajiv to him? Is it because they want to further their political interests by leveraging that family name? And what about his father, where has he gone? Why are you using such names? Rathore further remarked that, according to Indian cultural traditions, a person should use the names of their own parents. The controversy comes amid a dispute over Raihan Vadras photography exhibition, No Idea Is Final, at Bikaner House in New Delhi. Raihan alleged that more than 70 photographs documenting recent youth movements and protests were removed shortly before the exhibition opened. The Bikaner House Management Society said certain photographs were inconsistent with its policy and requested their removal. Raihan criticised the decision, arguing that restrictions on artistic expression were wrong. His mother, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, also condemned the move. Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot criticised the removal of the photographs, accusing the BJP-led government of suppressing artistic expression. Bikaner House is a property of the Rajasthan government. This means that, under the watch of the BJP-led state government, the artistic expression of a young artist was stifled. This is highly condemnable, Gehlot said. He also questioned the decision, asking, Why were photographs depicting the truth removed? Gehlot described the incident as an example of censorship and said suppressing artists voices amounted to an attack on democracy. The developments have brought Raihan Vadra into a wider political debate involving the BJP and Congress, with Rathore questioning the use of the Gandhi name and Congress leaders raising concerns over artistic freedom and freedom of expression.

Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan sparked nostalgia among fans after sharing a warm hug at the recent International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) press conference in Mumbai. The two actors, who were among Bollywoods most widely discussed couples in the early 2000s, exchanged smiles and pleasantries at the event, with videos of their interaction subsequently circulating on social media. The moment unfolded as Kareena stepped down from the stage, where she had been sharing the spotlight with Salman Khan and other attendees. Shahid, who was standing nearby, caught her attention, and the two greeted each other with a hug before briefly exchanging pleasantries. Their cordial interaction quickly caught the attention of fans, many of whom associated the reunion with their popular on-screen pairing in Jab We Met. Both actors made distinct fashion choices for the press conference. Kareena arrived in an all-black ensemble featuring a top and a tailored skirt, while Shahid opted for an all-white silhouette. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Hungama (@realbollywoodhungama) This is not the first time their friendly interactions at an IIFA event have generated interest online. In early 2025, the actors also exchanged greetings at an IIFA press event in Jaipur. Responding to the attention their interaction received at the time, Shahid had said that it was nice if people felt happy seeing them together, while adding that they often crossed paths in everyday life. Shahid and Kareenas relationship was widely followed during the early 2000s, when they also appeared together in films such as Fida (2004), 36 China Town (2006) and Chup Chup Ke (2006). Their most celebrated collaboration remains Imtiaz Alis Jab We Met (2007), in which they played Aditya and Geet. The film went on to become a popular romantic drama, and their on-screen chemistry continues to be remembered by audiences. The actors later appeared in Milenge Milenge, which was released in 2010, and were also part of the ensemble cast of Udta Punjab (2016), although they did not share screen time in the latter film. Both have since moved on in their personal lives. Shahid is married to Mira Rajput, while Kareena is married to Saif Ali Khan. Their latest interaction at the IIFA press conference offered a glimpse of their cordial equation at an industry event, bringing renewed attention to a pairing that remains familiar to Hindi film audiences. The press conference was held ahead of the upcoming IIFA awards event in Abu Dhabi.

Drought in Rajasthan: Ashok Gehlot questions government, Kirodi Lal Meena responds
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 23 (IANS) Rajasthan is facing a rainfall deficit this year, with several districts experiencing drought-like conditions. The shortfall has raised concerns in western Rajasthan, particularly in Jodhpur, Barmer, Jaisalmer and Balotra, where shortages of water and fodder are affecting rural communities. The situation has also sparked a political exchange between former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Agriculture Minister Kirodi Lal Meena of the Bhajanlal Sharma-led government. While Gehlot has urged the state government to provide immediate relief to affected farmers, Meena has said that a survey is underway to assess the extent of the damage. Rainfall has reportedly fallen to its lowest level in 17 years, in sharp contrast to last year, when the state recorded its highest rainfall in 108 years. The rainfall deficit has raised concerns among farmers and livestock owners, who are facing difficulties due to the shortage of water and fodder. With Panchayat elections underway in the state, the issue has also become a point of political debate, with the Congress demanding urgent assistance for affected rural communities. Agriculture Minister Meena said that eight to ten districts had received below-normal rainfall. He added that government officials and District Collectors were closely monitoring the situation. According to Meena, the Revenue Department is conducting a survey to determine the extent of the impact. He explained that the government would consider further action based on the survey findings and initiate relief measures once the assessment is complete and drought conditions are officially declared. In early October, Ashok Gehlot raised concerns about the worsening situation in western Rajasthan and shared figures highlighting the number of villages reportedly affected by drought-like conditions. According to the figures cited by Gehlot, approximately 2,000 villages in Jodhpur, 2,460 in Barmer, 1,216 in Balotra and 961 in Jaisalmer were facing drought-like conditions. He urged the Bhajanlal Sharma government to take immediate steps to provide relief to farmers in these areas. Gehlot's concerns centred on the impact of deficient rainfall on agriculture and rural livelihoods, particularly in areas where access to water and animal fodder has become increasingly difficult. The effects of inadequate rainfall extend beyond crop losses. Reduced water availability can affect livestock, drinking water supplies in rural areas and the livelihoods of farming families. Livestock owners are particularly vulnerable when fodder supplies decline and water sources become scarce. The Agriculture and Revenue departments are assessing conditions in the affected regions to determine the extent of the shortfall and its consequences. Meena said the government was receiving reports from officials and that the findings would guide decisions on declaring drought conditions and providing relief. Once the assessment is complete, the government is expected to determine the appropriate measures under established procedures. The timing and scope of relief will depend on the survey findings and the official decision on drought declaration.

Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 23 (IANS) Voting for Sarpanch and Ward Panch posts in the first phase of Rajasthans Panchayat elections will be held on Saturday, across 3,314 gram panchayats in 16 districts. Around 8.5 million voters are expected to exercise their franchise, with polling scheduled from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. A total of 9,886 polling stations have been set up for the first phase of polling. Vote counting will begin after polling concludes, and the results are expected to be declared the same day, although the process could continue late into the night. Unlike previous elections, in which Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) were used for these posts, voting will be conducted using ballot papers this time. Each voter will cast two votes, one for the Sarpanch candidate and another for the Ward Panch candidate. However, the use of ballot papers is expected to make the counting process more time-consuming. Votes for Ward Panch candidates will be counted first, followed by those for Sarpanch candidates. Results are expected to be announced by late evening or night. Recounts in closely contested seats or cases involving disputes could delay the final results further. The elections are not being contested on party symbols, and political parties are not issuing official tickets. However, the contests remain highly competitive, with local political equations and village-level rivalries often playing a decisive role. Barmer has the highest number of candidates in the first phase, with 419 contestants for Sarpanch posts and 3,029 for Ward Panch posts. In Jodhpur districts Balesar Panchayat Samiti, candidates arrived with their supporters on Friday to file their nominations. The election for the post of Deputy Sarpanch will be held on October 25. The elected Ward Panchs will choose the Deputy Sarpanch, and general voters will not participate in this process. Meanwhile, Bikaner District Election Officer, Nishant Jain, has issued notices to 28 employees for remaining absent from their assigned election duties. They have been directed to submit their explanations within three days.

Four killed as car plunges into ditch on Dausa-Manoharpur Highway in Rajasthan
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 23 (IANS) At least four people were killed and two others seriously injured after a car went out of control following a tyre burst and plunged into a deep roadside ditch near Raisar on Rajasthans Dausa-Manoharpur National Highway (NH-148) early Friday morning. According to officials, all six occupants were pilgrims returning to Agra after visiting Khatu Shyamji. The accident occurred at around 6 a.m. when the cars tyre burst while the vehicle was travelling within the jurisdiction of the Raisar police station. The driver lost control, causing the car to plunge into the ditch. After receiving information, police reached the spot and, with the assistance of local residents, rescued those trapped inside the vehicle. The injured were rushed to a hospital by ambulance, while the bodies of the deceased were shifted to the mortuary of a government hospital. Raisar Station House Officer Rajpal Singh said the accident occurred due to a tyre burst. The deceased have been identified as Atul, Mukul, Rupesh and Shiva, all residents of Agra. Two other occupants, Rahul and Arpit, sustained serious injuries and were admitted to a private hospital for treatment. The accident triggered a traffic jam on the Dausa-Manoharpur National Highway. Long queues of vehicles formed on both sides of the road, causing inconvenience to commuters for nearly an hour. After ensuring that the injured were taken to the hospital, police personnel managed traffic movement. The damaged car was subsequently removed from the ditch with the help of a crane. In a separate accident in Rajasthans Dausa district, a loading tempo travelling from Delhi to Kota veered off the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and overturned into a roadside ditch early Friday morning, leaving five people injured. The injured have been identified as Noorjahan, Zyakat Ali, Kunal, Ajay and the driver, Vijaypal. All five are residents of Kota and work in setting up amusement rides at fairs. They were taken to Dausa District Hospital, where they are undergoing treatment. According to police, the accident occurred after the driver reportedly dozed off at the wheel.
