Sunanda K. Datta-Ray | Inequality and democracy: Can it ensure a better life?

A year in which more than 65 entities, including the worlds supposedly largest and oldest democracies, go to the polls might be regarded as the ultimate landmark for the government of the people, for the people and by the people. But through the celebration threads the censorious voice of Nurse Edith Cavell warning: Democracy is not enough! For democracy to be meaningful, people must have food and shelter, access to education, medical care and gainful employment. Above all, the process must inspire hopes of a better life in a future that is free of the tyranny of vote-seeking populism and majoritarianism. Neither would have dented the deep humanitarianism of Cavell, the British nurse who gave her life during the First World War, explaining the sacrifice by famously stressing the need to inject meaning into a slogan. I realise that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone were the last words of the woman whom the Germans occupying Belgium killed for treating wounded Allied soldiers and helping them to escape. When an English chaplain visiting her on her last night said she would always be remembered as a heroine and a martyr, Cavell answered in tones that Mahatma Gandhi might have envied: Dont think of me like that. Think of me only as a nurse who tried to do her duty. What would Cavell have seen as her duty if she had lived in Indias raucous poverty-stricken democracy with 186 billionaires, according to Forbes ? Or if she had to contend with the reality of the Oxfam report claiming that just five per cent of Indians own more than 60 per cent of the countrys wealth, while the bottom 50 per cent possess only three per cent? Or when, with less than a month to go before a crucial general election that Prime Minister Narendra Modis Bharatiya Janata Party is expected to win hands down, the Central governments Enforcement Directorate responsible for investigating large-scale economic offences, arrested Arvind Kejriwal, Delhis feisty chief minister and a leading figure in the main Opposition alliance? As for Oxfams economic figures, it would appear that far from correcting historic anomalies and aberrations, Indias much-vaunted political democracy encourages inequality. The report claimed, for instance, that between 2012 and 2021, 40 per cent of the wealth created in India went to just one per cent of the population while a mere three per cent went to the bottom 50 per cent. The report added that the total number of billionaires in India increased from 102 in 2020 to 166 in 2022, and that the combined wealth of Indias 100 richest individuals touched $660 billion (Rs 54.12 lakh crores), enough to fund the countrys entire Budget for more than 18 months. Amitabh Behar, Oxfams CEO, was quoted as saying: While the country suffers from multiple crises like hunger, unemployment, inflation and health calamities, Indias billionaires are doing extremely well for themselves. Indias poor, meanwhile, are unable to afford even basic necessities to survive. The number of hungry Indians increased to 350 million in 2022 from 190 million in 2018. Widespread hunger accounted for 65 per cent of the deaths among children under the age of five in 2022, according to the Union governments submission to the Supreme Court. No one suggests a link between such strictures and the home ministrys recommendation of a CBI probe against Oxfam. Nor does anyone suggest that the real estate firm DLF smoothed its way of out of a sticky jam by giving Rs 170 crores to the BJPs election kitty. But Indians watched transfixed when the Narendra Modi government transformed Jamnagar airport into an international hub for the benefit of glitterati guests like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Rihanna and Ivanka Trump at the pre-wedding bash of billionaire Mukesh Ambanis younger son. For hundreds of millions of Indians, the lavish festivities demonstrated that the novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald, was right when he wrote, the rich are different from you and me. Ernest Hemingways supposed retort, Yes, they have more money, failed to explain why even the most aggressively democratic government responds so reverentially to them. One reason for supporting democracies is that they are said never to go to war. True perhaps, but todays Indias relations with some of the surrounding democracies are surprisingly prickly. Sri Lankans of various races regularly take turns to malign India. President Mohammed Muizzu of the Maldives seems to be on a permanent anti-India stump. Now, its the turn of Bangladeshs Opposition BNP (Bangladesh Nationalist Party) to boycott all Indian products. As for China, many wonder what exactly President Xi Jinping means by claiming China is not just a democracy, but a much higher-functioning democracy than those in the West. His slogan whole-process peoples democracy, describing Chinas purported democratic style with annual jamborees like the National Peoples Congress held up as an example of participation in collective events, recalls Chinas own rough handling of minority groups like the Muslim Uyghurs and Buddhist Tibetans. Some might not see much of a qualitative difference between this and Israels relentless bombardment of a defenceless Gaza Strip or Myanmars brutal purges of the Rohingyas in its Rakhine province, all aimed at annihilating cultural minorities. Others might fear that the bloodbath that accompanied Russias recent presidential election which was shadowed by Alexei Navalnys mysterious death even before the Islamic State terrorists went on the rampage, is indeed the price of democracy. It is one of the great ironies of contemporary politics that while the Western powers proclaim the virtues of democracy to the rest of the world, Donald Trumps popularity indicates they themselves are losing faith in the legitimacy of popular governments. Even some 10 per cent of Sri Lankans seem to prefer authoritarian to so-called democratic governance, according to a poll by Colombos Centre for Policy Alternatives. As of now, the state of all public facilities in India constantly reminds people that Jesus Christ knew what he was talking about when he was quoted in the Book of Matthew as saying: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Not that the wealthy are worried. Jamnagar airport demonstrated during the Ambani extravaganza that those who are excluded from Gods kingdom may easily saunter into the domains of Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah.

BJP counters rebels with I am with you campaign in Gujarat

AHMEDABAD: The internal discord within Gujarats BJP appears to be intensifying with local party leaders openly slamming some of the recently announced Lok Sabha candidates. Criticism is particularly mounting against candidates such as Ranjan Bhatt in Vadodara, Bhikhaji Thakor in Sabar kantha, Dhaval Patel in Valsad, and party leaders like Rekha Chaudhary in Banaskantha. In a move to de-escalate the tension, the party has launched Hun Saathe Chhu(I am with you) campaign on social media to address the dissatisfaction among local leaders regarding the candidates in these four seats. It seems to be an endeavour to underscore that the local leaders are aligned with the candidates. Following the announcement of the candidates for the 22 of the total 26 parliamentary constituencies, the resentment of the partys local leaders against contenders in four seats started to come to the fore. The discord initially emerged in Vadodara where Jyoti Pandya, the vice-president of BJPs Rashtriya Mahila Morcha and former Mayor of Vadodara, tendered her resignation in protest against Bhatts candidature. Another controversy surfaced at the Sabarkantha constituency, with a social media post Bhikhaji Thakors caste going viral. Some of the leaders stated that he might be a Damor and not a Thakor as claimed. There have been reports of opposition against Rekhaben Chaudhary as a female candidate for the Banaskantha constituency in North Gujarat -- perceived as a weak spot for the BJP. Also, the selection of Dhaval Patel from the Valsad (ST) seat in South Gujarat has reportedly sparked discontentment among the local leaders. Many Cong workers switch sides Several hundred Congress functionaries on Friday joined the BJP in Gujarats Jamnagar in the presence of local MP Poonam Maadam who has been renominated by the BJP and is up against Congress J P Marvia, who is an elected member of Jamnagar panchayat. More and more people are now believing in the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modiji and therefore they have joined us, she said.

Unease in Gujarat BJP amid Congress heavyweights influx

AHMEDABAD: It ensions within the Gujarat BJP have escalated after the announcement of Lok Sabha elections following an influx of Congress leaders into the party, besides internal divisions at the local level. Adding to the turmoil, Ketan Inamdar, a three-term BJP MLA from Gujarat, announced his resignation from the state assembly on Tuesday. He cited his inner conscience for his decision, emphasizing the importance of self-respect amidst perceived inaction. However, following persuasion from the state party chief, he retracted his resignation within hours. Frustrated by the continuous migration of Congress leaders and other party members into the BJP, the Savli MLA emailed his resignation to Assembly Speaker Shankar Chaudhary on March 19. Efforts were made to persuade him to reconsider his decision. The MLA from Jamnagar, along with the Vadodara district in-charge, visited Savli to persuade the MLA. Inamdar was then called to Gandhinagar where he attended a meeting with state party chief CR Patil. He later withdrew his resignation. I shared my grievances and concerns with Patil. I engaged in introspection and spoke from my heart. Our dialogue took place in a constructive environment. It was crucial to honour the dedication of devoted party workers. Each individual has a unique approach to work. Theres no personal animosity. I withdraw my resignation, Inamdar said. The Savli constituency is located in Vadodara district. Earlier in the morning after his resignation, the three-term MLA conveyed to the media: This isnt a tactic to exert pressure. Ive long felt that the party has overlooked the welfare of its grassroots and veteran members. Ive brought this concern to the attention of the leadership. Inamdar has a history of tendering resignations and subsequently withdrawing them. In January 2020, he announced his resignation as an MLA, although the Speaker did not accept it. Congress candidate withdraws Congress candidate from Ahmedabad East Lok Sabha seat Rohan Gupta has said he has withdrawn from the contest due to his fathers serious medical condition. Gupta is the Congress national spokesperson and his name was in the list of candidates declared by the party on March 12. He also posted an image of his handwritten letter to GPCC president Shaktisinh Gohil.

Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel sanctions Rs 240 crore for implementing Nirmal Gujarat 2.0

Gujarat CM Bhupendra Patel sanctions Rs 240 crore for implementing Nirmal Gujarat 2.0 Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has sanctioned Rs 240 crore for various initiatives under 'Nirmal Gujarat 2.0' to effectively strengthen the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on a broader scale in Gujarat. To enhance public awareness of cleanliness in urban areas and position Gujarat as a leading state in cleanliness nationwide, the Chief Minister has decided to allocate incentive grants to municipalities based on their tax collection performance in sanitation. Under this plan, A and B class municipalities will receive a 100 per cent incentive grant for achieving 71 to 80 per cent annual sanitation tax collection, 100 per cent for 81 to 90 per cent collection, and 200 per cent for 91 to 100 per cent collection. Similarly, for C and D class municipalities, the incentive grant standard is set at 50 per cent for tax collection ranging from 60 to 70 per cent, 100 per cent for 71 to 80 per cent collection, 200 per cent for 81 to 90 per cent collection, and 300 per cent for 91 to 100 per cent collection, Information department of Gujarat said. Each municipality will receive a matching grant of cleaning tax equivalent to the amount collected annually by that municipality. As per the resolution issued by the Urban Development and Urban Housing Department of the state for the effective implementation of Nirmal Gujarat 2.0, the Chief Minister has sanctioned assistance for the development of major entry roads to towns and cities, as well as for the enhancement of one road within each town as an iconic road. Municipalities are tasked with intensively cleaning roads up to 5 kilometres from city limits, while municipal corporations must clean roads up to 2 kilometres from city limits.

This initiative aims to ensure cleanliness by permanently removing garbage and maintaining cleanliness at these locations. The state government has allocated Rs 16 crore for this purpose. The Information department said that to foster a competitive spirit among local self-government bodies in terms of cleanliness, a quarterly competition titled Maru Shaher, Swachh Shaher (My City, Clean City) will be conducted, with categories based on the population of the towns. Certificates of recognition will be awarded to the best collector, commissioner, regional commissioner, and chief officer based on their sanitation performance, as assessed through quarterly reports submitted by third-party agencies. Additionally, a total of Rs 16 crore will be allocated for awards to the winning cities. Under this award, a municipality with a population of more than 10 lakhs will receive Rs 5 crores, a municipality with a population of less than 10 lakhs will receive Rs 4 crores, a class A municipality will receive a grant of Rs 3 crores, a class B municipality will receive a grant of Rs 2 crore, and a class C and D municipality will receive Rs 1 crore each. Financial incentives will be provided to sanitation workers, who play a vital role in the cleanliness and sanitation operations of the state's cities, by recognizing them as the best sanitation workers. Each ward in Municipal Corporations will select one best sanitation worker monthly, who will be granted Rs 10,000. Similarly, at the municipal level, one of the best sanitation employees per municipality will also receive Rs 10,000 monthly. The state government will provide a total assistance of Rs 4 crores for the best sanitation workers. As part of Nirmal Gujarat 2.0, the administrative departments of the Secretariat and their head offices will implement an annual cleanliness calendar and conduct sanitation cleaning activities.

Serving sumptuous suvai

CHENNAI: For the past two years, there has been a buzz during the Margazhi season. One made by the flavourful thanga thambalam that has had many a foodie throng the sabha canteen where Arusuvai Arasu caterers have set shop. With this offering, the famed catering service from Chennai has been giving potential clients a taste of whats hot on their menu. The fame and appreciation have been building over the past 75 years. Known for its filter coffee and traditional South Indian dishes, Arusuvai Arasu Pvt Ltd has carved a niche for itself, garnering clients from across India. Recently, they were invited by businessman Mukesh Ambani to serve idlis, dosais, and vadais at the pre-wedding function of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. At the grand affair held in Jamnagar, several celebrities from across industries savoured their sumptuous servings. Riding high on the feat, S Kamesh, director of the venture, walks us through 75 years of dealing with luxury and corporate events, big-scale weddings, and sabha canteens by prioritising guests preferences and how they have become experts in crisis management. Crisis management is the biggest challenge in the catering industry. You have to satisfy your customer and their guests. Each guest is different. We have to understand what they want and provide that in the best way possible, says Kamesh, adding that he learnt the skills from his grandfather N Natarajan and father N Sridhar. Creating a legacy The catering services gained its name when former president VV Giri at his daughters wedding bestowed the founder N Natarajan with the title. Describing the origins of the business Kamesh says, Arusuvai Arasu was started by my grandfather, N Natarajan, who is from a small town near Kumbakonam. He moved to Chennai from Kumbakonam and worked at the Geeta Cafe on Mount Road. He met former President VV Giri while working there when he was planning his daughters wedding. His motivation and well wishes prompted the formation of Arusuvai Arasu. When my grandfather started the business, it was a total of just six-eight employees. They were family members, brothers, and cousins coming together to do the business. The industry was unorganised. Now, they have 250-300 employees. Gradually, Natarajans elder son, N Kumar, joined the business and introduced North Indian cuisine to the general catering business and South Indian marriage ceremonies in Tamil Nadu. When Natarajans second son joined the business, they opted for bigger events including destination weddings and in 2016 Kamesh took over the family legacy. Over the years, Kamesh says, Arusuvai evolved as a brand. We have done events in Dubai, France, a sit-down leaf service in Bali for a destination wedding, and so on. We have been catering for the Ambani family for almost six-seven years. We are their official catering brand from south India. The association began when we catered for Mukesh Ambani sirs sister Nina Kotharis daughters wedding, he shares. Keeping up with the game A steaming bowl of rasam, flavoursome sambhar, along with rice, and hot brewed filter coffee are their must-have signature dishes, according to Kamesh. We also experiment with world cuisine and everything is purely vegetarian. To ensure the authenticity of the dishes, we find chefs from the region and assign them the duty of cooking. Thus, authenticity is guaranteed and innovations can also happen through dishes. In large-scale weddings, there is also a huge possibility of food going to waste. Focusing on that, Kamesh and his team consciously brought in a solution to do production every two to three hours according to the guests. We also tie up with orphanages and other organisations to ensure that the food doesnt go to waste, he adds. Though it has just been seven years since Kamesh took over the role as a director, he has been in the industry since childhood as he grew up watching his family serving people good food. Sharing the takeaways from his father and grandfather, he says, I learnt the dedication towards the work and clients from them. They understand their customers and have a good bond with the guests. Explaining the dishes to the guests and understanding their culture helps improve ourselves. We have constantly tried to bring innovations be it in the dishes menu or in the way of presentation while taking feedback from people. Over the years, Kamesh says that the competition in the industry has become stronger while asserting that it is also healthy. I have seen young engineering graduates making it into the catering industry and a lot of people also seek our advice and help on how to better their business. The key is to keep understanding people, experimenting with dishes, and staying authentic to your core, he signs off.

Implementation of the project is likely to create an opportunity for direct and indirect employment to the tune of 50,000 persons during the execution phase and an opportunity of employment of over 20,000 persons during its operational phase ushering in huge socio-economic benefits in the region. The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for Ekta Malls in two states; Gujarat and Maharashtra worth around Rs 400 crores.

Ahmedabad Diary | Congress suspends Modhvadias brother

The Gujarat Congress suspended Ram Dev Modhvadia for six years on Friday. He is the brother of Arjun Modhwadia, former Gujarat Congress President and Porbandar MLA, who has since left the party. Sources reveal that Ram Devs intention to later join the BJP was thwarted by his suspension. Consequently, a controversy has arisen in Porbandar regarding the Congress office. An anonymous Congress leader mentioned that Some leaders demanded the office bearer to vacate and hand over keys, following Ram Devs suspension. The dispute is expected to escalate. Three-time MLA Arjun Modhwadia joined BJP on Tuesday, stating that it was with the sole aim of strengthening the resolve of PM. PM intervenes, saves tickets of three MPs The BJP has unveiled its preliminary list of 15 candidates for the 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat. Sources indicate that the tickets of three Gujarat MPs initially dropped from this list were saved by PM Modi. Mansukh Vasava, a six-term MP from South Gujarat Bharuch, MP Bharat Dabhi from Patan, and Poonam Madam from Jamnagar were among those whose tickets were at risk initially, but the Prime Minister intervened to spare them. Additionally, it is reported that during a late-night meeting in Delhi, new strong candidates from the Gujarat BJP were proposed as replacements for these three MPs. However, sources suggest that PM Modi provided a lifeline to the current MPs. New faces expected in 11 Gujarat Lok Sabha seats After the release of candidates for 15 out of Gujarats 26 Lok Sabha seats, announcements for the remaining 11 seats are imminent, with discussions already held at the Delhi Parliamentary Board meeting. Sources suggest that new BJP candidates may secure tickets for four to five of these seats, potentially replacing current women MPs. Names like Shardaben Patel of Mehsana, Bhartiben Shayal of Bhavnagar, Ranjanben Bhatt of Vadodara, Gitaben Rathwa of Chhotaudepur, and Darshanaben Zardosh of Surat are under consideration for replacement. Additionally, there has been speculation that new female candidates may be given more priority for the remaining seats in the party.

How much did Mukesh Ambani spend on pre-wedding event at Jamnagar

The Ambanis spared no expense in celebrating the pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, with a staggering expenditure of 120 million (approximately Rs 1259 crore), as reported by Daily Mail. While this sum may seem exorbitant to the average person, it barely makes a dent in the fortune of Asias richest man, with a real-time net worth of $117.7 billion (approximately Rs 9.7 lakh crore). According to Daily Mail, the catering contract alone amounted to a towering 20 million (approximately Rs 210 crore). Pop sensation Rihanna, who graced the occasion with an electrifying performance, commanded a fee ranging from $8-9 million (approximately Rs 66-74 crore), as per India Today. The lavish three-day festivities were attended by illustrious guests including Shah Rukh Khan, Sachin Tendulkar, Mark Zuckerberg, and more, who were not only flown in on private jets but also chauffeured to and from the airport in luxury cars like Rolls-Royce. Every detail was meticulously planned, with extravagant themes such as An Evening in Everland and A Walk on the Wildside brought to life. The Ambani family adorned themselves in creations from both international and domestic fashion labels, including Manish Malhotra, Tarun Tahiliani, Raghavendra Rathore, Ashish Gupta, Versace, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and more. Comparisons have been drawn between the pre-wedding extravagance of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant and the grandeur of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal's wedding in 2018, which reportedly cost a colossal $100 million (approximately Rs 828 crore). Regarded as one of the most lavish weddings globally, Isha and Anand's Mumbai nuptials featured a show-stopping performance by pop icon Beyonc, who commanded a fee between $4-6 million (approximately Rs 33-49 crore). As the opulent pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant come to a close, all eyes are now eagerly awaiting their forthcoming grand Indian wedding, slated for July this year.

Kejriwal, Bhagwant Mann launch AAP's LS poll campaign in Delhi

NEW DELHI: AAP convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal along with his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann launched the party's Lok Sabha poll campaign here on Friday with the slogan 'Sansad mein bhi Kejriwal, to Dilli hogi aur khush haal'. General elections are due in April-May. The campaign was launched in the presence of other party leaders and workers from the Aam Aadmi Party headquarters on DDU Marg. I have made all efforts to serve the people of Delhi who are my family, Kejriwal said. Our slogan is 'Sansad mein bhi Kejriwal, to Dilli hogi aur khush haal' (Delhi will be more prosperous with Kejriwal in Parliament), he said. Delhi and Punjab are ruled by AAP and these are the only two states that have free electricity supply, he said. Kejriwal said the BJP-led central government through the Delhi Lt Governor stalls every project launched by the AAP government and urged the people to strengthen him by sending all seven opposition candidates to Parliament. They hate you because you elected and brought an ordinary man to power in Delhi. They demolished Mohalla Clinics with bulldozers, they stopped door-to-door ration delivery scheme, tests and medicines in hospitals, he alleged. AAP workers will distribute pamphlets describing work done by the party's governments during campaigning for the elections, he said. Punjab chief minister Mann said his state is going to have a 13-0 result in the Lok Sabha polls in favour of AAP. He also accused the Centre of obstructing the work of the Kejriwal government in Delhi and withholding Punjab's funds. No one will dare to stop Punjab's funds and work in Delhi if the AAP has a good number of MPs in Lok Sabha, he said. The AAP will fight the general election in collaboration with INDIA bloc partner Congress under a seat-sharing arrangement it has struck with it in Delhi, Gujarat, and Haryana. In Punjab, however, both parties have decided to contest the Lok Sabha polls independently. The AAP will contest four of the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi and Congress will field its candidates on the remaining three. The party has also received two constituencies - Bharuch, Jamnagar in Gujarat and Kurukshetra in Haryana under the seat-sharing deal with Congress. Separately, AAP has also declared its candidates from Guwahati, Dibrugarh and Sonitpur Lok Sabha constituencies in Assam.

Maria Goretti shared Ivanka's picture on her Instagram Stories and wrote in note: 'I'm appalled at this picture of the Ambani celebration.

SRK's disrespectful comments on Ram Charan go viral

The accusation of disrespect towards Telugu star Ram Charan by actor Shah Rukh Khan at the Ambanis' Jamnagar event has sparked controversy. Ram Charan's makeup artist, Zeba Hassan, claimed that she walked out after SRK's alleged 'idli vada' remark, sharing a video on Instagram as evidence. However, some argue that SRK's remarks mirrored his playful dialogues from 'One 2 Ka 4' and were not meant to offend. During the grand pre-wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, SRK, along with Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, performed on stage, attempting the 'Naatu Naatu' step. He called upon Ram Charan to join them, but the makeup artist accused SRK of disrespect for addressing him as 'idli vada', prompting her exit from the event. While criticism surfaced over SRK's alleged disrespect, others defended him, citing a clip from 'One 2 Ka 4' where similar dialogues were used. Additionally, supporters highlighted SRK's respectful gesture of bowing to Ram Charan upon his arrival on stage. Despite the controversy, Shah Rukh Khan and Ram Charan maintain a cordial relationship. Ram Charan's recent appearance in Salman Khan's film 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' further solidifies his ties with the Bollywood fraternity.

Day after quitting Congress, Gujarat leaders Modhwadia, Der join BJP ahead of LS polls

GANDHINAGAR: Former Gujarat Congress chief and ex-MLA Arjun Modhwadia along with the party's former working president Ambarish Der joined the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday, a day after they quit the grand old party. The two leaders joined the saffron party at its state headquarters 'Kamalam' here along with several others. State BJP chief C R Paatil inducted them into the party by offering them saffron caps and scarves. Modhwadia and Der resigned on Monday, expressing anguish over the party's decision to oycott Lord Ram temple consecration ceremony held in Ayodhya in January. Interestingly, both leaders announced their decision to quit Congress just three days ahead of the scheduled entry of Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Gujarat. One of the senior-most and most influential opposition leaders in Gujarat, Modhwadia, 67, was associated with the Congress for nearly 40 years. He had also served as the leader of the opposition and as the state unit president. ' ' @CRPaatil . @rajnipatel_mla , pic.twitter.com/IY1iErFadE BJP Gujarat (@BJP4Gujarat) March 5, 2024 Addressing media after joining the BJP, Modhwadia said that he wanted to contribute towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts to fulfil Mahatma Gandhi's dream of achieving social and economic independence for the country. Even after India gained political independence in 1947, Gandhi's dream of social and economic freedom for the country remains far from being realised. Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah, the two sons of Gujarat, are leading the country and working hard with the dream of making India developed. Modi is working to achieve the dream of social and economic changes that were left unfulfilled, he said. The former veteran Congress leader said that he entered politics to bring about social and economic changes, and this did not appear possible in the Congress. All efforts made there remained unsuccessful. I can today see the dream I envisioned for Porbandar being realised under Modi's leadership, he said. Modhwadia emphasised that he was not joining the BJP due to any coercion or allurement as claimed by the Congress. I am joining the party to bring about a change in the country, he added. Der said the BJP worked to resolve issues in the country that were pending for years. He accused the Congress leaders of misguiding people and making shocking statements regarding the Ayodhya Ram temple. I am here in politics to deliver. I have joined the BJP to get the political platform of a party which is working effectively, he said. In his address after inducting them, Paatil said that India will become the world's topmost nation under the leadership of PM Modi, and leaders were joining the BJP to contribute to this effort. Congress leader from Jamnagar, Mulu Kandoriya who had unsuccessfully contested the 2019 Lok Sabha election in 2019, was also among the leaders who joined the BJP along with Modhwadia and Der. You have worked to join the BJP because you want to contribute to Modi's efforts to develop Gujarat, and with it the country. It is your desire to work for the people and help them. You have joined the BJP to find the right platform for this. Let us work together for the same, he said. Days before Der and Modhwadia quit Congress, the party's Rajya Sabha member and former Union Minister Naran Rathwa had joined the ruling BJP along with his son and a large number of supporters. Modhwadia, who represented the Porbandar seat, submitted his resignation as a legislator to Gujarat assembly Speaker Shankar Chaudhary in Gandhinagar on Monday evening. The speaker's office confirmed that the resignation has been accepted. He defeated BJP heavyweight Babu Bokhiria in the 2022 assembly elections. With Modhwadia's resignation, the Congress' effective strength in the 182-member assembly has come down to 14. Modhwadia is the third MLA of the Congress to resign in the last four months after Chirag Patel and C J Chavda, who quit in December and January, respectively. Der represented the Rajula assembly seat in Amreli district from 2017 to 2022 as a Congress MLA. He had defeated BJP heavyweight Hira Solanki, the younger brother of state minister Parshottam Solanki, in the 2017 elections. Ahead of the 2022 Gujarat assembly polls, Der was assigned the charge of Congress working president. He remained on the post despite losing to arch-rival Hira Solanki in the elections.
