Rajasthan civil poll results: BJP wrests stronghold seats from Congress
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 23 (IANS) The results of the Rajasthan civic elections have highlighted varying levels of regional influence among Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress Ministers and senior leaders. The BJP retained control in several Assembly constituencies of its Ministers, securing Chairman and Vice-Chairman posts in multiple urban local bodies. In some Assembly constituencies, however, the Congress mounted a challenge and managed to secure key positions. The results have also provided a picture of the regional influence of several Congress leaders who have been active in Rajasthan politics for years. The BJP won 20 seats in the Bharatpur Municipal Corporation, which is the Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma's home city, and relied on the support of Independents to strengthen its position. The BJP also succeeded in electing Mayors in all seven municipal bodies. While the Mayoral election for the Jaipur, Jodhpur and Kota Municipal Corporations is scheduled for September 25. The BJP formed boards in two of the three municipalities in the Assembly constituency. However, the BJP lost the Jhalawar Municipal Council, where both the President and Vice-President posts went to the Congress. In the Dudu Assembly constituency, the BJP failed to form boards in either municipality. In the Phagi and Dudu municipalities, both the President and Vice-President posts went to Congress and Congress-supported candidates. Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Prem Chand Bairwa, however, is also associated with the Sanganer Assembly constituency. In the Jodhpur Lok Sabha constituency, elections were held in the municipalities of Phalodi, Bap, Balesar and Pokaran. The BJP won in Phalodi, Bap and Balesar, while the Congress won in Pokaran. The Jodhpur Municipal Corporation election results are scheduled to be announced on September 25. There are two municipalities in the Srimadhopur Assembly constituency. The BJP won in Srimadhopur, while the Congress won in Ajitgarh. In the Sangod Assembly constituency, BJP candidates won both the President and Vice-President posts in the Sangod municipality. The BJP won both the President and Vice-President posts in the Sawai Madhopur Municipal Council, located in the Sawai Madhopur Assembly constituency. The BJP won both posts in Ramganj Mandi which is constituency of Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar. The BJP captured all four municipalities in the Malpura-Todaraisingh Assembly constituency: Malpura, Diggi, Lambaharisingh and Todaraisingh. The BJP led in nine of the 12 urban local bodies in the Alwar Parliamentary constituency. The BJP also performed successfully in the constituencies associated with Jawahar Singh Bedham, Minister of State for Home Affairs; Sumit Godara, Food Minister; Avinash Gehlot, Social Justice Minister; Suresh Rawat, Water Resources Minister; Jogaram Patel, Parliamentary Affairs Minister; and Gajendra Singh Khimsar, Health Minister. The BJP did not secure the top positions in the constituencies associated with Ministers of State Vijay Singh Chaudhary, Manju Baghmar and Otaram Dewasi, Cooperation Minister Gautam Kumar Dak, Revenue Minister Hemant Meena and Chief Whip Jogeshwar Garg. Of the seven urban local bodies in Bikaner, which falls within Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal's Lok Sabha constituency, the BJP secured the President's post in four, while the Congress won two and the CPI-M one. However, the BJP did not secure the Mayoral post in the Bikaner Municipal Corporation, one of the most prominent urban local bodies in the region. The Congress won the Mayoral post, while the BJP secured the Deputy Mayor's position. Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is the Congress MLA from Sardarpura, which falls within the Jodhpur Municipal Corporation area. Of the 100 wards, the BJP won 45 and the Congress 44. Former Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot is the Congress MLA from Tonk. The Congress secured a majority in the civic body and elected its candidates as Chairman and Deputy Chairman. Elections were held in 59 of the 60 wards, with the Congress winning 32 and the BJP 19. Rajasthan Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra is the Congress MLA from Laxmangarh. Of the 45 wards in the Municipal Council, the Congress won 20, the BJP 15 and Independents 10. The Congress subsequently took control of the municipality. Rajasthan Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully is the Congress MLA from Alwar Rural. In Malakhera Municipality, of the 20 wards, the Congress won nine, the BJP two and independents nine.

Palestine Embassy questions liberation of Haifa narrative, calls for historical scrutiny
The Embassy of the State of Palestine to India has questioned the description of the 1918 Battle of Haifa as the liberation of Haifa, saying that Indian soldiers who participated in the battle were serving under British command as part of an imperial military campaign that resulted in the occupation of Palestine. In a five-page position paper titled Rewriting of IndiaPalestine history: The battle of Haifa: liberation or occupation?, the Palestinian Embassy said the terminology surrounding the battle required careful and scholarly reflection and argued that the event should be understood within the historical context of British military occupation of Palestine. The Embassy said Palestine, including Haifa, was under Ottoman rule before 1918 and that British forces defeated the Ottoman Empire during the First World War, bringing Palestine under British occupation. Indian soldiers participated in the campaign as part of the British Indian Army, under British command. It argued that describing them retrospectively as having liberated Haifa risked attributing to India a sovereign military decision that the country did not possess in 1918, when it was still under British rule. The paper pointed to contemporary British terminology, saying military and parliamentary records referred to the operations in Palestine using terms such as capture, take, fall and conquer. It also noted that following the British military campaign, Palestine was administered under the Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA) until its replacement by a civil administration in July 1920. The Embassy also cited Indias own historical records, including the 2014 publication Indian War Memorials Around the World, saying it does not describe the event as the liberation of Haifa. According to the paper, the publication records that the fortified town of Haifa fell to a cavalry charge by the Jodhpur Lancers and that the 15th Imperial Service Cavalry Brigade broke through and took the town. It also referred to the Teen Murti Memorial in New Delhi, stating that the memorial was established during British colonial rule to commemorate Indian soldiers who served and died during the First World War, and was not originally intended to commemorate relations between India and Israel. The Embassy said the memorial refers to Palestine and some of its cities among the places associated with the military campaigns in which Indian soldiers served. The paper further cited official Indian records to state that 491 Indian soldiers are recorded at Ramleh War Cemetery, 109 at the Gaza and Deir el Balah War Cemeteries and 47 at the Haifa Indian Cemetery, besides soldiers commemorated at other cemeteries and memorials across historical Palestine. The Embassy questioned why Haifa had become the centre of a commemorative narrative when Indian soldiers had fought across a much wider region, including the Suez Canal, Gaza, Jerusalem, the Jordan Valley, Damascus and Aleppo. It also said the first formal Israeli public ceremony commemorating the Indian soldiers was held in 2010, nearly a century after the battle. The paper argued that Britain, rather than India, was the principal military power behind the campaign, as it financed, armed and commanded the operation. It questioned why the liberation of Haifa narrative centred on Indian soldiers while Britains role was not similarly emphasised. The Embassy also stressed that the soldiers described as Indian soldiers served in the British Indian Army and came from different regions, communities and religions across British India, whose geographical and political boundaries differed from those of the present-day Republic of India. The position paper placed the soldiers participation within the wider history of British colonial rule, noting that Indian troops were deployed in military campaigns far from their homeland. It also referred to the Rowlatt Act and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, arguing that the broader record of British rule should be considered when interpreting the role of Indian soldiers in the First World War. The Embassy cited Mahatma Gandhis opposition to the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine at the expense of its indigenous population, including his statement that Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English. It further pointed out that India voted against UN Resolution 181 in 1947, which proposed partition and allocated Haifa to the proposed Jewish state, and questioned how the 1918 battle could subsequently be presented as a foundation for India-Israel historical ties. The Embassy said describing the 1918 occupation of Haifa as a liberation raises serious questions and concerns in Palestine. It maintained that Haifa should be recognised as a Palestinian city at the time and that the battle took place in the context of the British military occupation of Palestine. At the same time, the Embassy said its position was expressed with full respect for the sacrifice and memory of Indian soldiers and for Indias sovereign right to commemorate its history and fallen soldiers. It called for historical remembrance of the Battle of Haifa to remain grounded in accuracy, balance and respect for the historical experiences of all concerned, while emphasising that the document represented the Palestinian Embassys perspective and was intended to contribute to discussion on the historical and legal questions surrounding the battle.
Remembering valour of Indian soldiers
Every 23rd September, while the worlds attention turns elsewhere, the Indian Army pauses to honour a battle fought over a century ago on distant shores. Haifa Day commemorates one of the last great cavalry charges in military history and one of Indias most overlooked contributions to world history. In the autumn of 1918, as World War I raged across Europe and the Middle East, the Mediterranean port of Haifa stood as a strategic prize. Controlled by the Ottoman Empire, it served as a crucial supply hub for Turkish and German forces retreating northward through Palestine. For British General Edmund Allenby, capturing Haifa was not merely about territory but about severing enemy supply lines and securing dominance of Allied Powers over the Mediterranean coast. The task fell to an unlikely force, the 15th (Imperial Service) Cavalry Brigade composed largely of soldiers from three Indian princely states namely Jodhpur, Mysore and Hyderabad. On the morning of 23rd September 1918, the Mysore Lancers attacked Haifa from the north while the Jodhpur Lancers advanced between Mount Carmel and the Kishon River. Despite facing entrenched Ottoman machine-gun positions and artillery fire, the Indian cavalrymen charged forward with lances and swords. In an age when warfare was rapidly mechanizing, this was a throwback to another era, horse-mounted warriors storming modern defences. The Jodhpur Lancers alone captured approximately 1,350 Ottoman and German prisoners. Haifa fell within hours. The nearby port of Acre followed soon after. Around 44 Indian soldiers paid the ultimate price and their names now inscribed at the Haifa War Cemetery.Major Dalpat Singh Shekhawat lost his life in the battle and was posthumously remembered as the Hero of Haifa for his gallantry and leadership during the Battle of Haifa. Here lies the paradox, while Israeli history textbooks now teach schoolchildren about the Indian soldiers who liberated Haifa, most Indians have never heard of this battle. The Teen Murti Memorial in New Delhi erected in 1922 to honour these soldiers, stands relatively obscure compared to monuments commemorating later wars. This amnesia reflects a broader pattern in how India remembers its military history. The contributions of Indian soldiers in World War I where over 1.3 million served, with more than 74,000 killed, remain unacknowledged in popular consciousness. Haifa is merely one chapter in a much larger untold story. Today, the 61st Cavalry Regiment which was formed after Independence by merging the Jodhpur and Mysore Lancers retains Haifa as a battle honour. Every September, ceremonies are held both in India and at the Haifa War Cemetery, where Indian diplomats and Israeli officials gather to pay tribute. In recent years, the Haifa municipality has worked to ensure that Indian soldiers contributions are included in school curricula and public memory. As Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav noted at one such ceremony, It is being corrected in our history books that Indian soldiers played a significant role in the liberation of our city. In an era when India seeks to strengthen its global partnerships and assert its historical contributions to world affairs, Haifa Day offers more than ceremonial value. It represents a bridge between civilizations, a reminder of Indian valour and a lesson in historical memory. Nations that remember their heroes inspire future generations. By commemorating Haifa Day more prominently, India can instill pride in young Indians about their ancestors global contributions. As we mark another Haifa Day, it is time to move beyond token ceremonies. Schools should include the Battle of Haifa in history curricula. Media should tell these stories more widely. The government could consider elevating Haifa Day commemorations to greater national prominence. The soldiers of Jodhpur, Mysore and Hyderabad did not fight for fame, they fought for duty. But their descendants owe them more than silence. We owe them remembrance. On 23rd September, as wreaths are laid and bugles sound at Teen Murti and Haifa, let us resolve to ensure that this forgotten chapter of Indian history finds its rightful place in our national story.

Rajasthan civic polls: BJP converts narrow vote edge into board control
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 21 (IANS) The Rajasthan urban local body elections have produced a political paradox: the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress remained separated by less than one percentage point in overall vote share, yet the BJP emerged with a substantially larger number of elected councillors and subsequently converted that advantage into control of several urban bodies. The numbers raise a bigger question: was the difference created at the ballot box or after? The answer appears to lie in a mix of electoral arithmetic, organisational mobilisation, the fragmented independent vote, and parties' ability to negotiate support during the crucial process of forming municipal boards. The Congress, meanwhile, faces questions over internal coordination and its ability to retain the support of its own councillors. The BJP and Congress were separated by only around 0.94 percentage points in vote share. The BJP polled about 35.18 per cent of the vote, compared with 34.24 per cent for the Congress. Yet the BJP won 4,179 wards, compared with 3,613 for the Congress, while independents won 2,273 wards. That gap shows how vote distribution across individual wards can produce a very different result from the statewide vote-share comparison. Ward delimitation in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Kota showed that Congress received a slightly higher combined vote count than the BJP in those three corporations but won fewer wards. Analysts attributed this partly to the concentration of Congress votes in fewer wards, while BJP votes were more evenly distributed. Congress leaders, however, alleged that the delimitation process disadvantaged the party. The real political battle began after the ward results. The BJPs advantage became more significant in municipal board formation. In several urban bodies, neither major party secured an outright majority, leaving independent councillors in a pivotal position. The BJP was the largest party in several such bodies, while Congress led in places including Ajmer and Pali but remained short of a majority. This is where post-election political management became central. The contest was no longer simply about how many councillors each party had won. Parties had to secure the support of independents and maintain cohesion among their own councillors before the mayoral and chairperson elections. The outcome in Pali provides perhaps the clearest illustration. In Pali, Congress had 29 councillors, but BJP got the mayor. Pali Municipal Corporation has 65 councillors. Congress emerged as the largest group with 29 seats, followed by the BJP with 21 and independents with 15. The majority mark was 33. Yet in Monday's mayoral election, BJPs Namita Bubakia won with 33 votes. Congresss official candidate Sumitra Jain received only three votes, while Congress rebel Rajbala Hingad, contesting as an independent, received 29 votes. All 65 councillors voted. The result dramatically changed the political picture created by the ward election. The BJP entered the mayoral contest with 21 councillors and needed 12 additional votes to reach a majority. The final tally indicates that the party succeeded in attracting sufficient support from outside its elected bloc. Because the mayoral ballot was secret, however, the result alone cannot establish the individual identity of every councillor who supported each candidate. The Pali result therefore raises a pointed political question for Congress: how did a party with 29 elected councillors end up with its official mayoral candidate receiving just three votes? Across the 309 urban local bodies, independents won 2,273 wards, making them a significant force in board formation. In Bharatpur, independents won 36 of 65 wards and crossed the majority mark on their own. In cities such as Pali, Ajmer, Alwar and Jodhpur, their numbers were crucial to determining who would control the civic administration. This changed the traditional BJP-versus-Congress equation. Where neither party had the numbers, the ability to communicate with, negotiate with and retain the support of independent councillors became decisive. Congress raised allegations that the BJP used government power and resources to influence board formation in some places. Those allegations are political claims and should be distinguished from the confirmed election results. At the same time, Congress leaders pointed to other explanations, including delimitation. Rajasthan PCC president Govind Singh Dotasra argued that the delimitation process contributed to the partys losses, despite the narrow vote-share difference. The available numbers also support another explanation: the BJP was more successful in converting its councillor strength and outside support into control of municipal leadership posts in several closely contested bodies. The sequence of events shows that the political environment surrounding board formation mattered greatly, particularly where independents held the balance. The civic election results expose a distinction between electoral support and organisational conversion. Congress secured 34.24 per cent of the overall vote, almost matching the BJPs 35.18 per cent. Yet the BJP won substantially more wards and subsequently secured key mayoral and chairperson posts in several places. For Congress, therefore, the issue is not simply whether it retains its voter base. It is also whether it can maintain unity among elected councillors, manage competing local factions, prevent internal rebellions, build relationships with independents, and convert ward-level victories into control of municipal boards. Pali demonstrates the scale of that challenge in particularly stark terms. The BJPs success in securing municipal leadership positions gives the party an organisational advantage at the local-government level. But winning the mayoral post is only the beginning of the political test. BJP leader Madan Rathore said, Regarding organisational strength, consider that Dotasras candidate received zero votes in Sadri (Pali), while the official Congress candidate in Pali secured only three votes; how, then, can I possibly match him? We believe in the organisation. The new municipal boards will now be judged on issues that directly affect everyday life: roads, drainage, sanitation, street lighting, water supply, waste management and other civic services. The political story of Rajasthans 2026 urban elections, therefore, is not simply BJP versus Congress. It is a story of three layers of electoral politics, moving from vote share to ward strength to board formation. The first two stages produced a closely contested picture. The third stage demonstrated the importance of alliances, independent councillors, internal cohesion and post-election political management. And that is perhaps the most important lesson from Pali: winning the most wards and controlling the board are not necessarily the same thing.

Powerful symbol of trust, confidence and friendship: Japans Air Chief soars in Tejas
Digital Desk | Jodhpur, Sep 20 (IANS) Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) Chief of Staff General Takehiro Morita said his flight in India's indigenous fighter aircraft, Tejas, is not only a valuable experience but also a powerful symbol of trust, confidence, and friendship. The Air Chief made the remarks at the second edition of the bilateral air exercise between the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the JASDF, Exercise Veer Guardian-2026, which is being conducted at Air Force Station Jodhpur. Indian Air Force Chief Air Marshal A.P. Singh and General Morita flew in the Tejas, showcasing the growing defence and aerial cooperation between the two countries. I will remember it not only as a truly valuable experience, but also as a powerful symbol of trust, confidence, and friendship, General Takehiro Morita said while speaking during the joint press interaction. Our partnership has progressed beyond simply conducting exercises together to refine our tactical capabilities at a practical level. Through increasingly sophisticated training, our two air forces have advanced our cooperation. These efforts strengthen our capability to contribute to peace and stability, and over time help strengthen regional deterrents. Japan and India share that common vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific, he added. He further said that the sophistication of the bilateral exercises reflects both the maturity of the partnership and shared commitment to peace and stability in the region. The range of activities includes exercises, exchanges at every level from senior leadership to subject matter experts and possibly co-operation in the space domain. Air Chief Marshal AP Singh welcomed General Morita and his contingent to India. Speaking about the partnership between the two Air Forces, the CAS said: It is a partnership built on mutual respect, professional trust, and shared commitment to peace and stability; And India and Japan share a vision of a free, open and rule-based Indo-Pacific.

He described it as A bond that grows stronger through shared experiences, mutual respect, and collaboration. While mentioning General Morita's sortie in the Tejas formation, the CAS said: I will say that the defence aviation industry and R&D are now set to hit much higher heights. He further described it as a very clear example of how much faith and trust you have in the homegrown Indian aircraft.

BJPs Prasan Chand Mehta, Congs Rajendra Solanki fielded for mayoral post in Jodhpur
Jodhpur Mayor election: BJP names Mehta; Congress fields Solanki
Digital Desk | Jodhpur, Sep 19 (IANS) The BJP has named Prasan Chand Mehta as its candidate for the Jodhpur Municipal Corporation mayoral election while the Congress has named Rajendra Solanki as its mayoral candidate. Mehta arrived at the Municipal Corporation around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday to file his nomination papers. City MLA Atul Bhansali, Sursagar MLA Devendra Joshi and several other party office-bearers accompanied him during the nomination process. Mehta comes from an RSS background and has held several organisational positions in the BJP, including district president and state vice-president. He is also considered close to Assam Governor Gulabchand Kataria. Mehta won the municipal election from Ward 82, defeating Congress candidate Arvind Parihar. His candidature was finalised after consultations within the BJP. After Mehtas name was announced, BJP Divisional In-charge Bhupendra Saini performed a tilak ceremony. Mehta had left Balotra at around 10:15 a.m. before travelling to Jodhpur for the nomination. Sursagar MLA Devendra Joshi said Mehta had served the organisation for several years and expressed confidence in the BJP's ability to secure the mayoral post. Mehta said his focus would be on addressing key civic issues, including sanitation, street lighting, roads and water supply. The Congress' mayoral candidate Rajendra Solanki is a close associate of former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and, notably, did not contest the recent municipal election as a councillor. Before finalising its candidate, the Congress had collected nomination forms for multiple candidates. Rajendra Solanki had said at that time that the party would support the candidate who emerges through consensus. Congress councillor and mayoral aspirant Naresh Joshi also reached the Municipal Corporation during the nomination process. In a notable moment, Joshi touched the feet of BJP MLA Devendra Joshi after seeing him at the venue. Meanwhile, Congress rebel leader Liyaqat Ali Rangrez rejoined the party ahead of the nomination process. Jodhpur City District Congress President Omkar Verma and former MLA Manisha Panwar were present when Rangrez returned to the party fold. A nomination form was also collected on behalf of the family of Saraswati Prajapat of Ward 51. A family member who collected the form indicated that either Saraswati Prajapat or her father could file the nomination. The Jodhpur Municipal Corporation has 100 wards. Following the result of the Ward 50 re-poll, the BJP has 45 councillors while Congress has 44. The remaining 11 seats are held by independents and the RLP. The majority mark is 51. The closely divided house has made the support of councillors outside the two major parties significant to the formation of the municipal board and the mayoral election. The BJP and Congress have been engaged in efforts to consolidate support ahead of the mayoral contest, with both sides seeking to secure the numbers required to establish control of the corporation.
Sunil Kothari named BJPs Jaipur mayoral candidate
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 19 (IANS) The BJP has named Sunil Kothari as its candidate for the Jaipur Municipal Corporation mayoral election. His candidature was finalised following consultations at the Chief Ministers Residence (CMR). Meanwhile, the Congress has asked Sunita Mawar, councillor from Ward 118, and Bharat Meghwal, councillor from Ward 84, to remain prepared to file their nomination papers. On Friday, BJP councillors were asked to indicate their preferences for the mayoral candidate. Each councillor was asked to submit three names in order of preference. Later in the evening, the councillors were shifted to The Surya Golden Palace hotel in Pushkar. Following the finalisation of his candidature, Sunil Kothari was brought back to Jaipur from the group. Earlier, after the BJP had sought the preferences of its Jaipur councillors before finalising its mayoral candidate, among the names discussed within the party were Sunil Kothari, Puneet Karnawat and Subhash Singhi. Kothari represents Ward 112 and has previously served as the BJP's Jaipur city president. He has also held several organisational responsibilities in the party. Puneet Karnawat, the outgoing deputy mayor, represents Ward 76 and was also among the names under consideration. Subhash Singhi, who won from Ward 98, was another contender. The selection process also involved discussions over the community representation of the mayoral candidate. Party leaders and councillors considered several factors, including the views of elected representatives, seniority and organisational experience. There was also discussion within the party about choosing a candidate from the Vaishya community for Jaipur. Kothari emerged as a prominent contender during these deliberations. Some city MLAs were reportedly supporting Subhash Singhi, while Karnawat's name was also being considered. With the BJP having selected a Jain community candidate in Udaipur, and both contenders in Jodhpur reportedly belonging to the Jain community, there was also discussion about choosing a candidate from a different community for Jaipur. Kothari's candidature was ultimately finalised by the BJP following consultations at the Chief Minister's Residence.

Jaipur youth dies of electrocution at Devdham Jodhpuria Lakkhi Mela, 3 women injured
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 17 (IANS) A 20-year-old youth from Jaipur died after being electrocuted during the ongoing Lakkhi Mela at Devdham Jodhpuria in Tonk district. The incident took place on Wednesday night. Three women were also injured after an electric current reportedly passed through the steel railing near the temples main gate. The incident triggered panic among devotees gathered at the fair. The injured were taken to the Sub-District Hospital in Niwai for treatment. According to the information available, an electric current suddenly surged through the steel railing near the temples main entrance. Piyush Gurjar, 20, came into contact with the electrified railing and suffered a severe electric shock. Despite efforts to save him, Piyush died in the incident. The injured women have been identified as Manju Devi, 33, wife of Puran Gurjar of Dhani Narayanpur Dungri in Kotputli district, and Bina Devi, 34, wife of Badri Prasad Gurjar of Ajpura under Narayanpur police station in Kotputli district. Both women are undergoing treatment at the Sub-District Hospital in Niwai. Police and administrative officials reached the hospital and gathered information about the incident from the injured. A 17-year-old girl, Manish Gurjar, a resident of Mankot under Thanagazi police station, was also injured after coming into contact with the electric current. After receiving first aid, she was referred to Jaipur in view of her critical condition. The deceased, Piyush Gurjar, was the son of Bhanwar Singh Gurjar and a resident of Top Khana, Indira Bazar, Jaipur. After receiving information about the incident, personnel from Sadar police station reached the Sub-District Hospital. Police placed Piyushs body in the mortuary and began efforts to contact his family. A large number of devotees had gathered at Devdham Jodhpuria for the Lakkhi Mela when the incident occurred. The heavy crowd reportedly made it difficult for the ambulance to reach the injured and transport them to the hospital. The incident briefly created panic among devotees at the fair. An investigation is underway to determine how the steel railing became electrified and what caused the current to pass through it. Meanwhile, former CM Ashok Gehlot has expressed his condolences over the accident.

Raj civic polls: Re-Polling ordered at 10 polling stations in Jaipur, Kota and Suket
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 15 (IANS) The Rajasthan State Election Commission on Tuesday ordered re-polling at 10 polling stations across Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota and Suket after technical malfunctions in Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) were detected during the counting process for the recent civic body polls in the state. The re-poll has been ordered after the Commission found that the number of votes not recorded due to the technical glitches was greater than the margin separating the leading candidate from the runner-up at the affected polling stations. Re-polling will be conducted on Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., with counting of the fresh votes scheduled for September 17 from 8 a.m. at the designated counting centres. The State Election Commission has identified the following polling stations for re-polling: Jaipur Municipal Corporation: Ward 9, Booth 111; Ward 18, Booth 235; Ward 25, Booth 343; Ward 34, Booths 477 and 484. Jodhpur Municipal Corporation: Ward 50, Booth 338. Kota Municipal Corporation: Ward 87, Booth 99; Ward 44, Booth 448; Ward 11, Booth 576. Suket Municipality: Ward 4, Booth 5. The Commission said complaints regarding EVM malfunctions were received during the counting process. Reports submitted by the concerned District Election Officers and Returning Officers were subsequently examined. Following the assessment, the Commission concluded that the votes affected by the technical problems could potentially alter the poll outcome in the concerned political contests. Since the number of unrecorded votes exceeded the victory margin, the Commission decided that a fresh poll was necessary. Voting at the affected polling stations will take place on Wednesday between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. The counting of votes cast during the re-poll will be conducted on Thursday from 8 a.m. at the designated locations. The Commission has directed election officials to inform all contesting candidates and their election agents in writing about the re-poll date, timing and polling station. Public announcements and notices will also be issued to ensure that eligible voters are aware of the revised polling arrangements. Notices will be displayed at the concerned municipality offices, polling stations and other prominent locations within the respective constituencies. The Commission has clarified that only voters who were authorised to vote in the original poll will be permitted to participate in the re-poll. The indelible ink mark applied during the original polling will not be considered for the purpose of the re-poll. A fresh indelible ink mark will be applied to the middle finger of the left hand, extending from the base of the nail to the first joint. The Commission has also directed that fresh ballot papers and tendered ballot papers, wherever required for use alongside the EVM process, be prepared. Following the re-poll, the EVMs used during the original polling will be sealed and kept in safe custody, as directed by the State Election Commission. The Commission has instructed all concerned officials to complete the necessary logistical, security and administrative arrangements in advance to ensure that the re-poll is conducted smoothly and in accordance with the prescribed procedures. With the re-poll scheduled just a day after the Commission's order, the results from these 10 polling stations could prove significant in determining the final outcome of the affected ward contests.
Rajasthan civic poll results offer grassroots reality check for political heavyweights
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 15 (IANS) The results of Rajasthans 309 urban local bodies have delivered more than a verdict on municipal boards. They present a grassroots audit of the states political heavyweights, from Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and former CM Vasundhara Raje to Congress veterans Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot. The BJP emerged ahead in the overall civic contest, winning more wards and securing clear majorities in more urban local bodies. And the Congress party remained second, but within striking distance. The BJP polled 35.30 per cent, compared with 34.36 per cent for the Congress, a difference of just 0.94 percentage points. That narrow vote-share gap makes the ward-level results particularly significant. For some leaders, their traditional political turf held firm. For others, their parties stumbled in their own wards or at their own polling booths. And in several cases, the results revealed an important distinction: a leaders personal political influence does not always translate into uniform party performance across the surrounding area. With the 2028 Assembly elections still ahead, these municipal results offer an early and unusually granular report card. Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma can take comfort from the BJPs performance. For the Chief Minister, the results broadly indicate that the BJPs organisational machinery remains strong around his core political territory. The narrow overall vote-share gap, however, suggests that the BJPs advantage cannot simply be attributed to a uniform wave across urban Rajasthan. For Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Colonel Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, the result was uncomfortable. The BJP lost Ward 28 of the Jhotwara constituency, with the Congress candidate emerging victorious. Forest Minister Sanjay Sharma also faced a more difficult outcome. Former Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje remains one of the most consequential political figures in Rajasthan, and the results from Jhalawar therefore carry particular weight. The BJP candidate won Ward 5 of the Jhalawar Municipal Council unopposed. Yet the larger council result was far less comfortable for the party. The Congress won 29 seats, surprising the BJP in a council where the party had previously held the board. The contrast is revealing: a BJP victory in Rajes immediate ward coexisted with a significant Congress' performance across the municipal council. That makes Jhalawar one of the more interesting indicators of how much of Rajes traditional political influence continues to translate into broader BJP dominance. Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari voted at the booth located at the City Palace in Ward 141, where the BJP candidate won. In the Vidyadhar Nagar Assembly constituency, the BJP secured 12 of the 22 seats, with results for two seats pending. The numbers point towards a strong BJP position in the constituency, although the local-body verdict is not necessarily a direct measure of Assembly-level voting behaviour. Rural Development Minister Dr Kirodi Lal Meena also has reason to claim a favourable result. The BJP secured an absolute majority in the Sawai Madhopur Council. Meena campaigned for two days during the election period despite being unwell. His own vote, however, is registered in a panchayat area, making the municipal result a measure of the partys organisational performance rather than a direct test of his personal vote. Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani saw the BJP win his own Ward 37, including the booth where he voted. But the broader Ajmer picture was less favourable. The BJP failed to secure a majority in the Ajmer Municipal Corporation, while the Congress emerged successful. The contrast between a BJP victory in Devnanis own ward and the absence of a clear majority for the party in the corporation underscores one of the central themes of these elections: individual strongholds do not necessarily translate into citywide control. Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot faced an embarrassing local setback when the BJP defeated Congress in his home Ward 88. Yet the larger Jodhpur picture remains far more balanced. With the BJP and Congress locked in an even contest in the Jodhpur Municipal Corporation, Gehlots local defeat cannot be read as a wholesale collapse of Congress influence in the city. Instead, Jodhpur offers a more complicated political picture: the Congress lost in Gehlots own ward but remains competitive across the corporation. Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasra votes in a panchayat area, so his own booth does not provide a direct municipal test. But the Congress' performance in his residential area of Sikar was strong. The partys victory in Sikar provides Dotasra with an important political counterpoint to the BJPs broader urban gains and indicates that the Congress still retains pockets of organisational strength. Congress MLA Pramod Jain Bhaya faced an uncomfortable result in his residential Ward 34 in Baran. The party finished third, while an AAP candidate won the seat. Bhayas own vote is registered in a rural area, so the ward result should not be treated as a direct referendum on his Assembly constituency. Nevertheless, the Congress third-place finish in the area where he resides is a politically significant warning sign. Former Minister B.D. Kalla saw a more favourable result. The Congress led at the Mahesh Sadan polling booth, and its candidate Sarita Vyas won the ward. The result offers some evidence of continued Congress strength in Kallas traditional political territory. The most revealing aspect of Rajasthans civic verdict may not be the number of wards won by either party. It is the mismatch between personal strongholds and wider party performance. A BJP minister can lose his own ward while the party performs strongly across the surrounding area. A former chief minister can lose his home ward while his party remains competitive across the city. A leader can retain his own booth even as his party struggles to secure a majority in the larger municipal corporation. That is the political story emerging from these results. The elections show that Rajasthans urban electorate is not moving in a single direction. The BJP has the numerical advantage, but Congress remains close enough in vote share to keep the contest alive. For the BJP, the challenge is to turn its seat advantage into durable political control. For Congress, the opportunity lies in converting its near-parity in votes into victories in closely fought local contests. And for Rajasthans political heavyweights, the message is even more immediate: A stronghold may still be a stronghold, but voters are increasingly distinguishing between the leader, the party and the local candidate. That distinction could matter enormously when Rajasthan returns to the larger political battlefield in 2028.
Raj civic poll results: BJP retains top spot; lesser vote share gap with Cong sends notice
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 15 (IANS) The BJP may have emerged as the larger winner in Rajasthans urban local body elections, but the numbers tell a more complicated political story. With the BJP securing 35.30 per cent of the vote against 34.36 per cent for Congress, the gap between the two principal parties is just 0.94 percentage points, a margin too narrow to ignore ahead of the 2028 Assembly elections. On the surface, the Rajasthan civic election results appear to favour the BJP. It has won more seats and secured clear majorities in more urban local bodies than Congress. But beneath that headline result lies a political contest that is far tighter than the seat tally suggests. The narrow gap in voting percentage is perhaps the most politically significant number to emerge from the elections. The results were expected to provide an early indication of Rajasthans urban political mood ahead of the 2028 Assembly elections. Instead, they have produced a mixed verdict: the BJP has the organisational and seat advantage, but the Congress remains firmly in the contest in terms of popular support. And then there is the third force, the Independents. Independent candidates collectively secured 27.47 per cent of the vote, underlining the extent to which local political equations remain fragmented and candidate-driven. The RLP secured 0.95 per cent, AAP 0.47 per cent, CPI(M) 0.32 per cent, BSP 0.29 per cent, and BAP 0.13 per cent vote share. The numbers suggest that Rajasthans urban electorate has not consolidated completely behind either of the two major parties. The BJP secured a clear majority in 85 civic bodies, compared with 45 for the Congress party. Independents and other parties crossed the majority mark in another 34 bodies. That leaves 145 of Rajasthans 309 urban local bodies without a clear majority. This is where the election moves from a simple winner-loser contest into a political bargaining exercise. In these 145 bodies, Independents could determine who controls the municipal boards. The BJP and Congress now face the same challenge: turning electoral leads into political majorities. For both parties, the scramble for Independents is not merely about municipal boards. It is also about demonstrating political momentum. For the BJP, the task is to ensure that its advantage in seats translates into control on the ground. For Congress, the opportunity is to convert its narrow vote-share deficit into political gains wherever the BJP lacks the numbers to govern on its own. The battle after the election could therefore prove almost as important as the battle during it. The contest becomes particularly significant in the municipal corporations. Of Rajasthans 10 municipal corporations, the BJP has secured clear majorities in Jaipur, Kota, Udaipur and Bhilwara, while Congress has a majority in Bikaner. But five corporations remain politically unsettled: Bharatpur, Pali, Alwar, Ajmer and Jodhpur. Jodhpur is the clearest example of the new political arithmetic. The BJP and Congress have 44 councillors each, leaving Independents in a potentially decisive position. The message from Jodhpur is stark: neither major party can take control for granted. Bharatpur presents another test, with Independents positioned to influence the formation of the board. In Alwar, the BJP has the advantage but falls short of a majority. In Ajmer and Pali, Congress is ahead but still needs additional support. These contests could become early laboratories for the political strategies the two parties take for the 2028 Assembly election. The political significance of the results extends well beyond the municipal corporations. There is no clear BJP or Congress majority in 18 municipal councils and 122 municipalities. That means the Independent councillor has emerged as one of the most important political actors in Rajasthans post-election landscape. For the BJP, winning over Independents will be critical to consolidating its seat advantage. For the Congress, these same councillors offer an opportunity to challenge the BJP dominance in closely fought bodies. The coming days could therefore see intense negotiations, outreach and realignment at the local level. The question is not simply who won the most seats. It is who can assemble the numbers to govern. These civic elections were conducted against the backdrop of the One State-One Election concept, but their political implications go far beyond municipal administration. The BJP can point to its larger seat tally and stronger performance across several major urban centres. Congress, however, can point to a vote share of only 0.94 percentage points behind the ruling party. If the BJP succeeds in converting its leads into stable civic administrations, it will strengthen its claim that its organisational machinery remains dominant in Rajasthans urban centres. If the Congress manages to capture boards in a significant number of hung bodies by bringing Independents into its camp, it could present the results as evidence that the BJPs electoral advantage is narrower than the seat count suggests. The Independent councillor, meanwhile, could become the unlikely protagonist of this political contest. For now, the Rajasthan civic verdict has delivered neither a decisive BJP sweep nor a Congress revival. It has produced something more politically interesting: a BJP advantage, a closely trailing Congress, and 145 civic bodies where the final winner is yet to be determined. And with 2028 on the horizon, Rajasthans municipal arithmetic may prove to be an early warning -- or an early opportunity -- for both sides.
Raj civic polls: Re-polling today at polling stations in Jaipur, Kota and Suket
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 15 (IANS) The Rajasthan State Election Commission has ordered re-polling at select polling stations in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota and Suket following technical malfunctions in electronic voting machines (EVMs) during the concluded urban body polls in the state.

Fresh indelible ink will be applied during the re-poll after removing the ink mark placed on the voter's left-hand middle finger during the original poll. The new ink mark will be applied so that it remains visible from the base of the nail to the first joint of the finger. If required, ballot papers and tendered ballot papers to be used with the EVMs will be prepared afresh. The Commission has also directed that the EVMs used during the original poll be sealed and kept in safe custody following the re-poll. The State Election Commission has instructed the concerned officials to ensure that all necessary arrangements for the re-poll are completed in a timely manner.

Sikar civic poll: Clash erupts after Congress victory; stone-pelting reported in Ward 17
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 14 (IANS) Tensions erupted in Sikar shortly after the municipal election results were announced, with supporters of the Congress and an Independent candidate clashing in Ward 17. The Congress emerged as the largest party in the Sikar municipal elections, winning 38 of the 65 wards and securing a clear majority. The BJP won 22 wards, while Independents secured 4 seats and the RLP won 1 ward. The result in Ward 17 was particularly significant as Congress candidate Tasleem defeated Independent candidate Arshin to win the ward. However, a confrontation ensued soon after the results were announced, with stone-pelting between the two groups, leaving several people injured. Police reached the spot after receiving information about the clash and detained several people in connection with the incident. The situation was brought under control, and further action is being taken. The Congress' strong performance gives it a clear advantage in the formation of the municipal board. However, the post-result violence in Ward 17 has raised concerns over tensions between rival groups following the election. Police are monitoring the situation in the area to prevent any further escalation. Meanwhile, in Jodhpur, vote counting for a seat in Ward No. 50 was halted after a technical glitch was reported in an EVM at a polling booth. Following the issue, the Returning Officer sought guidance from the State Election Commission. A decision on the next course of action will be taken after receiving the Commission's directions. A re-poll at the affected booth is likely. For now, counting for the seat has been put on hold by election officials. District Election Officer and District Collector Sandesh Nayak said vote counting in Jaipur was conducted across 2,254 polling booths covering 150 wards. More than 5,000 candidate agents were present during the counting process, which was completed in 302 rounds. So far, the BJP has secured 66 seats, Congress 43, while Independent candidates have won 13 seats.

Rajasthan civic polls: Polling staffer touches Ashok Gehlots feet; BJP files complaint
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 11 (IANS) A controversy erupted during the second phase of Rajasthans civic elections on Friday after a member of the polling staff allegedly touched the feet of former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot at a voting booth in Jodhpur. Gehlot had arrived at Vardhaman Jain School in Mahamandir to cast his vote in Ward No. 82 when the incident reportedly took place. A video of the incident later surfaced, prompting a political dispute over the conduct of the polling staff. The BJP has objected to the incident and raised questions over the impartiality of the polling staff. Saurabh Saraswat, state convenor of the BJP Rajasthan legal cell, submitted a complaint to the District Election Officer in Jodhpur and the State Election Commission, seeking action against the polling staffer concerned. The BJP argued that election officials and polling personnel are expected to maintain political neutrality while performing election duties. According to the party, such conduct towards a prominent political leader could raise questions about the fairness and impartiality of the electoral process. The BJP said that the incident could create doubts among voters regarding the neutrality of the polling process. The party has demanded that authorities examine the matter and take appropriate action if any election rules have been violated. Election personnel are required to perform their duties impartially and without displaying political preference. The conduct of polling staff is therefore particularly important during the voting process, officials said. The incident triggered a debate over whether the polling staffer's conduct amounts to a violation of election rules. The election code is intended to ensure a free, fair and peaceful electoral process. Political parties and candidates are prohibited from using improper means to influence voters, while government and election machinery is expected to remain neutral, the BJP said. However, whether the polling employee's act of touching Gehlot's feet constitutes an actual violation of the applicable election rules will have to be determined by the competent election authorities after examining the incident and the circumstances in which it occurred. The controversy comes as Rajasthan's civic elections enter the crucial voting phase, with political parties closely monitoring polling-related incidents across the state.
Value of every vote is high: Leaders urge strong turnout in Rajasthan civic polls
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 11 (IANS) With polling underway across 147 urban local bodies in Rajasthan on Friday in the second phase of elections and more than 87 lakh voters eligible to exercise their franchise, political leaders are calling for greater voter participation. Polling began at 7 a.m. and will continue until 6 p.m. across six municipal corporations, 24 municipal councils and 117 municipalities. The elections are being closely watched as voters choose representatives for local bodies, with issues such as cleanliness, electricity, civic infrastructure and ward-level development emerging as key concerns among residents. Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, after casting his vote, said voting was not merely a constitutional right but also a responsibility essential for a healthy democratic process. Voting is not just a right; it is also a duty. For the maturity of democracy, having a healthy and free voting process is absolutely essential, Shekhawat said. He said he came to vote along with his family and expressed confidence after observing the initial response from voters. Shekhawat also highlighted the role of young voters, saying Indias large youth population makes their participation particularly important in the democratic process. India is a country of youth. Being a nation of youth, the role of young people in this grand festival of democracy is extremely important, he said. The Union Minister said the participation of young people in elections has increased over the years and that they are getting increasingly aware of the importance of choosing candidates who can contribute to the development of their city, state and country. State Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore also stressed the importance of voter awareness and turnout. He said a voter gets the opportunity to decide the direction of governance only once every five years in local body elections and urged citizens to exercise their franchise. It is a very good thing if the voting percentage is high and voters have become aware. The value of a vote is very high, Rathore said. Education Minister Madan Dilawar said enthusiasm among voters was encouraging, pointing to long queues at polling stations. He said voter awareness was crucial to strengthening democracy and noted that people were participating in the elections with enthusiasm. There is an atmosphere of excitement, joy and passion, Dilawar said, referring to the voter turnout. BJP MLA Anita Bhadel, after casting her vote, said she thanked the polling personnel for ensuring voting began on time at 7 a.m. She appealed to voters to keep aside other engagements and prioritise voting. Rajasthan Assembly Speaker Vasudev Devnani also cast his vote at a polling station in Ward No. 4 in Ajmer. He linked the elections to the broader debate over conducting elections simultaneously. Devnani backed the concept of One State, One Election, saying simultaneous elections could reduce the repeated imposition of the Model Code of Conduct, which he said sometimes affected the pace of development work. He also urged residents to participate in the urban festival of democracy and cast their votes. Meanwhile, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot criticised the BJP-led state government over its performance. Speaking in Jodhpur, Gehlot alleged that the government machinery was not functioning properly and claimed that development work had suffered over the past two-and-a-half years. Gehlot said the situation was serious and called upon people to play an active role in addressing issues affecting the state. While political leaders traded views over governance and the significance of the polls, voters focused largely on immediate civic concerns affecting their neighbourhoods. One voter said residents wanted whoever was elected to pay attention to the development of their colony and ward, particularly cleanliness and other basic amenities. The voter said elected representatives should remain accessible throughout their term rather than returning to seek votes only after five years. Another voter, casting a vote in a municipal council election for the first time, said she was excited to participate and wanted a candidate with a clean image who could address issues related to cleanliness, electricity and overall development of the ward. Bharatpur District Election Officer Kamar Chaudhary also appealed to voters to turn out in large numbers. She said past experience showed that people often participated enthusiastically in municipal and panchayat elections because candidates personally reached out to voters. Chaudhary said citizens frequently complain about civic issues but must also fulfil their own responsibility by voting and choosing their representatives.

India and Japan hold joint exercise Veer Guardian 2026 in Jodhpur
Indian and Japanese fighter jets are training together this month in Exercise Veer Guardian 2026, running at Air Force Station Jodhpur from September 9-22. India is fielding its Tejas, Su-30 MKI and Rafale, while Japan brings its F-2A, a fighter derived from the F-16 and nicknamed Viper Zero. Over fourteen days, pilots and engineers from both sides will fly joint missions and hold technical exchanges on safety, mission planning and tactics. The exercise matters because fighter drills demand real-time coordination, shared procedures for identification, intelligence sharing and deconfliction, something far harder to build than routine military exchanges. For Japan, operating far from home in Indian airspace offers valuable experience as it strengthens its self-defense forces. For India, it's a chance to understand JASDF's operating style firsthand.#VeerGuardian2026 #VeerGuardian #IndiaJapan #IAF #JASDF #IndianAirForce #JapanAirForce #Tejas #Su30MKI #Rafale #F2A #ViperZero #FighterJets #AirForce #MilitaryExercise #DefenceNews #IndiaDefence #JapanDefence #IndoPacific #IndiaJapanRelations #MilitaryCooperation #AerialWarfare #DefenceUpdate #IndianDefence #Japan #India #Jodhpur

Freed Rajasthan from 'Love Jihad', says CM Bhajan Lal Sharma (Ld)
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Sep 9 (IANS) Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma said on Wednesday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led state government had worked to get rid of the problem of love jihad in the state, including Jaipur, and highlighted the state government's measures against forced religious conversions. He also noted that the state government had brought the Disturbed Area Bill to prevent what he described as forced migration and assured people that there was no need to fear. Chief Minister Sharma made the remarks while conducting a grand roadshow from Sanganeri Gate to Tripolia Gate in Jaipur in support of BJP candidates on the last day of campaigning for the Municipal Corporation elections. The Chief Minister said that incidents that he described as love jihad had taken place during the previous Ashok Gehlot-led state government and claimed that the present BJP government had brought legislation against religious conversions. Referring to the Disturbed Area Bill, Chief Minister Sharma said it had been brought to prevent forced migration in areas within the walled city and to protect residents. He added that the people should not be afraid and warned that anyone causing trouble to the common people would face legal action and could be sent to jail. The Chief Minister said the previous Ashok Gehlot-led state government had created two municipal corporations each in Jaipur, Jodhpur and Kota, which he alleged was done on the basis of appeasement. He said the present BJP government had restored the one city-one corporation system in all three cities. Taking a jibe at Congress leaders, Chief Minister Sharma said they (Congress leaders) had earlier claimed that the BJP would not be able to implement One State, One Election. He added that the ongoing local body elections showed that the state government was successfully carrying forward the electoral process. Chief Minister Sharma said that Rajasthan had been progressing continuously over the past two-and-a-half years under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He added that several projects that had remained pending for decades were now being taken forward. Highlighting water projects, the Chief Minister said the state government had taken steps to strengthen water availability across the state through the Ramjal Setu Link Project and the Yamuna Water Agreement. He noted that Rs 5,500 crore had been provided for the Indira Gandhi Canal and Ganganahar projects. He also highlighted the Rs 10,500-crore Dewas Project, Rs 4,500-crore Som-Kamla-Amba project, Rs 4,500-crore Mahi Dam Project and Rs 2,500-crore Brahmani River Project. The Chief Minister said that Rajasthan was moving towards becoming a power-surplus state. He claimed that electricity generation had increased from 3,900 MW during the previous Congress government to 12,000 MW during the first two-and-a-half years of the present BJP government. Commenting on employment, Chief Minister Sharma said that 1,89,000 appointment letters had been issued during the current BJP government's tenure, recruitment for 1,22,000 posts was underway and vacancies for another 70,000 posts had been created. He alleged that paper leaks had taken place during the previous Congress government and said more than 600 people allegedly linked to paper-leak cases had been sent to jail after the BJP government came to power in Rajasthan. He claimed that around 450 examinations had been conducted during the present BJP government's tenure without a single paper leak. The Chief Minister also accused the Congress of repeatedly misleading people over the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP) and the Yamuna water agreement. Referring to the Jaipur Metro, Chief Minister Sharma said the previous Congress government had developed around five km of Metro connectivity, while the present BJP government had taken the network beyond 41 km. He norted that further expansion would strengthen Jaipur's traffic and public transport system. The Chief Minister assured party workers and public representatives that issues raised by them would be addressed, saying the current BJP government remained connected with the people and regularly listened to their concerns. He said that with BJP-led civic bodies and panchayats forming the riple-engine government alongside the state and Central governments, local governance would be strengthened and development would accelerate. Chief Minister Sharma added that this would help realise the vision of a developed Jaipur, a developed Rajasthan and a developed India. He appealed to voters to support BJP candidates in the urban local body elections across Rajasthan. The Chief Minister began the roadshow after offering prayers at the Hanuman Ji Temple at Sanganeri Gate. Officials of the Jaipur Trade Board welcomed him during the programme.

Jodhpur High Court building case: 7 arrested, 1 detained after SIT probe into construction defects
Digital Desk | Jodhpur, Sep 9 (IANS) Jodhpur Police have arrested seven people and detained an eighth in connection with an investigation into alleged irregularities and serious construction defects in the new Rajasthan High Court building in Jodhpur. Police Commissioner Anshuman Bhomia outlined the investigation and arrests at a Press conference. According to police, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) found the roles of the construction company, firms and individuals associated with the fire-safety system, and officials responsible for supervising the project to be suspicious. Construction of the new High Court building began in 2011 and the structure was handed over in 2019, according to the police. Various defects were reported after the handover, including the collapse of false ceilings, a fire in Courtroom No. 2, cracks in the central dome and damage to pillars. Several institutions, including IIT Jodhpur, IIT Bombay and PTMES, subsequently conducted audits and surveys to assess the condition of the building. Following the findings, police constituted an SIT to conduct a detailed investigation. Samples were collected from the building and sent for forensic examination, while expert opinions were also sought. Police said the investigation raised questions about the role of companies supplying construction materials, agencies involved in executing the work, and individuals responsible for installing the fire-safety system. The role of officials of the Rajasthan State Road Development and Construction Corporation (RSRDC), who were responsible for overseeing and supervising the project, also came under scrutiny. According to the Police Commissioner, the investigation found evidence pointing to alleged criminal breach of trust involving officials. Police formed 12 special teams and four cyber teams to trace the suspects. Raids were conducted at multiple locations in Rajasthan, including Jodhpur, Jaipur, Kota, Bundi and Ajmer, as well as in Alwar, Delhi-NCR, Gurugram, Noida, Patiala and Kapurthala in Punjab, and Haridwar in Uttarakhand. Police said Varendra Garg, owner of VCL Group/Varendra Construction Company, the primary construction firm associated with the project, was detained in Haridwar late on Monday night. According to police, Garg had been changing locations to evade arrest. He was traced with the help of technical surveillance and coordination with police in other states. Jodhpur Police had announced a reward of 50,000 for information leading to his arrest. Police said eight individuals have been located in connection with the case. Seven have been arrested, while the process of arresting the eighth suspect was underway. Those arrested include Jitendra Sharma, then Assistant Engineer with RSRDC; Naveen Rai, then Project Manager with RSRDC; Rameshwar Dayal and Gopal Lal, who were associated with the installation of the fire-safety system; Deepak Mittal, formerly with RSRDC and currently an Executive Engineer in Jaipur; and Ajay Kishan Mutha, then Assistant Engineer with RSRDC. Police said the arrested accused have been taken on remand and are being questioned. Investigators said further action could follow if the enquiry establishes the involvement of additional individuals, officials or companies.

Crossing party lines, rebels and rows: Rajasthan civic polls take a dramatic turn
Jaipur, Sep 7 (IANS) Rajasthan's urban local body elections are producing scenes that go far beyond the usual Bharatiya Janata Party-versus-Congress contest. In the final days before voting, party lines appear blurred in some wards, political friendships are taking centre stage in others, while rebellion, protests and unusual campaign tactics are adding drama to the electoral battle. From Nathdwara to Sikar, Kota to Jodhpur and Dungarpur to Jaipur, the campaign trail has witnessed everything from a BJP candidate openly supporting a Congress rival to a Congress candidate blessing a JP contestant and even dogs being released outside the office of a BJP rebel. One of the most striking developments has emerged from Nathdwara in Rajsamand district, where BJP candidate Dinesh Prajapat announced his support for Congress nominee Ajay Gurjar in Ward 23, just days before polling. Prajapat, however, made it clear that his political identity remains with the BJP and that he would continue to remain associated with the party. The episode has added an unexpected twist to what would ordinarily be a straightforward BJP-Congress contest. It also highlights the importance of personal equations and local-level dynamics in municipal elections, where candidates often face voters with whom they have long-standing social and personal relationships. An equally unusual scene unfolded in Sikar's Ward 15, where former Municipal Council chairman and Congress candidate Jeevan Khan was seen blessing BJP candidate Simran during campaigning. Khan placed his hand on Simran's head in a gesture of goodwill, creating a striking image of political rivals sharing a moment of warmth during an otherwise fiercely contested election. The incident underlines how local elections can sometimes produce relationships that do not fit neatly into conventional party politics. Kota provided another example of political civility. In Ward 54, BJP candidate Vivek Rajvanshi and Congress candidate Manish Sharma reportedly shook hands when they came face-to-face during campaigning. Elsewhere in Kota, candidates adopted more unconventional campaign styles. BJP candidate Pratibha Suman was seen roasting peanuts on a roadside pushcart in Ward 64, while BJP candidate Soma Ahluwalia reportedly bowed before elderly residents during her campaign in Ward 56. Not every story from the campaign trail has been about political drama. Residents of Royal Suncity Colony in Kota's Ward 33 have announced a boycott of voting, alleging inadequate development work in their area. The protest puts local civic issues at the heart of the election debate and signals that candidates must answer not only for party politics but also for visible work or the lack of it on the ground. Kota also witnessed an unusual voter-list error in Ward 29. In Part 12, the details of a voter named Jagdish, including his name, father's name and house number, were reportedly correct, but the photograph displayed against the entry was that of Lord Hanuman. The unusual error has raised questions about the accuracy of electoral rolls and the verification process. The election battle took a particularly unusual turn in Dungarpur's Ward 31. On Friday, a Municipal Council shelter-home vehicle reportedly released around 15 dogs outside the office of Sunil Jain, a BJP rebel contesting as an independent. Jain alleged that the incident was an abuse of official machinery intended to weaken his campaign. The allegation has added another layer to the growing tensions between official party candidates and rebels contesting independently. Political tensions also surfaced in Jaipur's Ward 149, where residents reportedly surrounded the vehicle of Amer MLA Prashant Sahdev Sharma during his campaign visit in support of Congress candidate Anjali Brahmbhatt. The protesters allegedly waved black flags as the MLA arrived in the Handipura area, turning the campaign visit into a moment of confrontation. Amid the local-level turbulence, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma continued the BJP's campaign pitch. Addressing a gathering in Bikaner, he said people were moving from a double-engine government towards a riple-engine government, referring to coordination between governments at different levels. He in fact has organised roadshows in Bikaner, Udaipur and Ajmer. However, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, verbally attacking the BJP government in the state, said, It is the first time a Chief Minister feels compelled to conduct a roadshow for local self-government elections, including municipal corporations, municipal councils, and municipalities. This isn't a positive sign; it is their biggest drawback. They have effectively proved that the government has been non-functional for the past two and a half years, leading to widespread public anger. The Rajasthan civic elections are increasingly looking less like a simple BJP-versus-Congress contest and more like a collection of local political dramas. Candidates are crossing traditional lines, rivals are exchanging gestures of goodwill, rebels are challenging party establishments, residents are threatening boycotts, and campaign events are producing unexpected confrontations. Ultimately, however, the decisive actor remains the voter. Behind the headlines, the real question is whether these unusual campaign moments translate into votes on polling day or remain memorable episodes from one of Rajasthan's most colourful municipal election campaigns.
Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal sworn in as 44th Chief Justice of Rajasthan HC
Jaipur, Sep 7 (IANS) Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal, formerly a judge of the Chhattisgarh High Court, was sworn in as the 44th Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court at a ceremony held at Raj Bhavan here on Monday.

The appointment of Justice Agrawal comes at a significant time for the Rajasthan High Court, following developments surrounding the office of the Acting Chief Justice. With his formal assumption of office, Justice Agrawal will now oversee the judicial and administrative functioning of the Rajasthan High Court. As Chief Justice, he will have a key role in the allocation of judicial responsibilities, administrative supervision and ensuring the smooth functioning of the court. The swearing-in ceremony brought together the state's top political, judicial and administrative leadership, underlining the importance of the change at the helm of the High Court. Justice Agrawal's appointment is expected to usher in a new phase for the Rajasthan High Court, with the new Chief Justice taking charge of the institution's judicial administration and day-to-day functioning. The formal ceremony at Raj Bhavan marked the beginning of Justice Agrawal's tenure as the 44th Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court. His appointment assumes added significance as the court moves forward following the recent controversy involving its previous acting leadership. Supreme Court Justice Sandeep Mehta had recently written to the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant seeking Justice Sharma's transfer out of Rajasthan and appointment of a regular Chief Justice from another High Court. Justice Mehta had raised allegations concerning Justice Sharma's exercise of administrative powers and the listing of cases. The controversy also triggered protests by lawyers at both the Jaipur and Jodhpur benches of the Rajasthan High Court, with lawyers demanding that Justice Sharma be divested of his charge as Acting Chief Justice. Justice Sharma, who is set to retire later this month, has denied the allegations against him.
