EVM glitches in peaceful polls in Noida, Ghaziabad
NEW DELHI: Despite the Opposition flagging malfunctioning of EVMs in certain pockets, voting for the second phase of Lok Sabha elections in Ghaziabad and Gautam Budh Nagar in Uttar Pradesh on Friday was more or less peaceful. Malfunctioning in one of the EVMs at a polling station in Noida Sector 66 briefly affected the poll process. In Greater Noida polling booths, too, a few complaints of malfunction were reported but were addressed. At Mamura, an EVM reportedly broke down. In Ghaziabad, Congress candidate Dolly Sharma tagged the Election Commission on X and claimed that the EVMs at booth number 335 had been shut for two hours. She also alleged that people of the areas dominated by the minority communities were being threatened. The Samajwadi Party also tagged the EC on X and claimed that it had received information about EVM malfunction at booth number 282 of Ghaziabad. Around 2:30 pm, Sharma again complained about an EVM malfunction in Vijay Nagars Sardar Patel School in Ghaziabad. She alleged about fake voting at the booth. In terms of voter turnout, Gautam Budh Nagar fared better than Ghaziabad. While it registered 52.46% voting, Ghaziabad recorded an all-time low voting with only 49.8%, as per the EC. In Ghaziabad, residents admitted fleeing to holiday destinations due to the long weekend and the absence of outreach by the candidates as reasons behind the lack of enthusiasm. Polling stations at high-rise buildings witnessed an impressive footfall of voters. The administration had reportedly set up 100 polling booths at over 60 high-rise societies in Noida and Greater Noida.
LS polls: Gautam Buddh Nagar seat records 53 per cent voter turnout
NEW DELHI: Gautam Buddh Nagar constituency recorded 53.30 per cent peaceful voting in the second phase of Lok Sabha elections on Friday, the Election Commission of India (ECI) data showed. It had recorded a voter turnout of 60.47 per cent in the 2019 general elections. The constituency, with its diverse political landscape, saw a total of 15 candidates vying for the seat. This includes a mix of established politicians and new faces, all hoping to secure the votes of over 26.75 lakh registered voters. The voting started on a peaceful note with nearly 12 per cent voting at 9 am in the seat comprising Dadri, Noida, Jewar, Sikandrabad and Khurja assembly segments. Sikandrabad and Khujra geographically fall in the adjoining Bulandshahr district but are part of Gautam Buddh Nagar constituency. The turnout reached 24 per cent at 11 am, nearly 35 per cent at 1 pm, 44 per cent at 3 pm and 51.60 per cent at 5 pm. According to the reports, one of the EVMs malfunctioned at a polling station in Noida Sector 66, and the Election Commission officials replaced the machine. At Mamura in Greater Noida, an EVM reportedly broke down. Among the prominent figures exercising their franchise were Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) supremo Mayawatis nephew Akash Anand, BJP Rajya Sabha MP Surendra Singh Nagar, BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala and Noida District Magistrate Manish Kumar Verma. The district administration had earlier stated that of the 1,852 polling booths, webcasting will be introduced at 931 to enable real-time monitoring of the electoral process from control rooms. The authorities had identified 330 booths as critical and 204 as vulnerable. Around 10,000 polling officials and 11,000 security personnel were deployed to conduct smooth elections. Among the citys most posh sectors, the residents welfare association (RWA) in Sector 15A arranged electric vehicles to ferry voters to and from the polling booth. The ruling BJP decided to go to the polls with its sitting MP, Mahesh Sharma, while the INDIA bloc allies Samajwadi Party (SP) and Congress fielded Rahul Awana on the SP ticket. The BSP, which is contesting alone, has given the ticket to Rajendra Singh Solanki. The results will be announced on June 4.

Robust Voter Turnout Marks Second Phase of Indian Parliamentary Elections
Robust Voter Turnout Marks Second Phase of Indian Parliamentary Elections Over 63 per cent polling was reported in the second phase of Lok Sabha elections covering 88 seats across 13 states amid few complaints of EVM glitches and bogus voting in some states. Voters in some villages of Uttar Pradesh's Mathura, Rajasthan's Banswara and Maharashtra's Parbhani were boycotting the polls over various issues but were later persuaded by authorities to cast their franchise. Polling for the second stage of the seven-phase elections started at 7 am and ended at 6 pm. Several states experienced intense heat conditions. The first phase of polling was held on April 19 in 102 seats across 21 states and Union territories. The Election Commission (EC) said polling remained largely peaceful. The tentative figure at 8 pm of voter turnout was 63.50 per cent. It is likely to go upwards when reports from all polling stations are obtained, the EC said, adding voters reaching polling stations till the end of polling hour are allowed to cast their vote. The National Democratic alliance (NDA) under Prime Minister Modi is seeking a stronger majority for a third consecutive term, while the constituents of the opposition INDIA bloc are hoping for a rebound after facing reverses in the 2014 and 2019 elections. Election Commission data showed the highest voting percentage was recorded in Tripura which registered 79.46 per cent polling, followed by Manipur at 77.32 while the turnout was in Uttar Pradesh at 54.85 per cent and Bihar 55.08 per cent. Polling was held in all 20 seats of Kerala, 14 of the 28 seats in Karnataka, 13 seats in Rajasthan, 8 seats each in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, 6 seats in Madhya Pradesh, 5 seats each in Assam and Bihar, 3 seats each in Chhattisgarh and West Bengal, and 1 seat each in Manipur, Tripura and Jammu and Kashmir. Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar and actor-turned-politician Arun Govil, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar's brother DK Suresh (Cong), and former Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy (JDS) are among the key candidates while BJP's Hema Malini, Om Birla and Gajendra Singh Shekhawat seeking a hat-trick of wins from their respective constituencies. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the morning urged people to cast their votes in record numbers and said a high voter turnout strengthens democracy. Stressing on the importance of each vote, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and party leader Rahul Gandhi issued impassioned appeals asking people to step out and exercise their franchise in the second phase of the Lok Sabha election. After the end of polling, Modi in a tweet said, ''Phase Two has been too good! Gratitude to the people across India who have voted today. The unparalleled support for NDA is going to disappoint the Opposition even more. Voters want NDA's good governance. Youth and women voters are powering the strong NDA support.'' In Kerala, the turnout was 65.91 per cent. The election process, held amid tight security arrangements, was primarily incident free except for instances of bogus voting and breakdowns of electronic voting machines (EVMs) being reported in some booths of the state. Such incidents resulted in delaying the polling process in the affected booths. One person each reportedly died at Palakkad, Alappuzha and Malappuram after casting their vote and a polling agent died after collapsing at a booth in Kozhikode. Tripura East Lok Sabha constituency recorded a turnout of 79.46 per cent. Election officials said there were some complaints from a few booths but those were ''promptly addressed''. A jawan of the Madhya Pradesh Special Armed Force deployed on poll duty allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with his service rifle at a government school where he was stationed in Gariaband district under the Mahasamund seat in Chhattisgarh, where a voter turnout of 73.62 per cent was recorded. A polling booth at Sivni village in Balod district (Kanker seat) was decorated like a wedding 'mandap', with a display of rituals of traditional weddings. Several brides and grooms, dressed in their wedding finery, cast their votes at several polling booths. The EC said people from 46 villages in Bastar and Kanker seats cast their votes in a polling booth set up in their own village for the first time in a Lok Sabha election. In neighbouring Madhya Pradesh, there was a turnout of 57.88 per cent. An estimated 71.11 per cent of the 77,26,668 voters exercised their franchise in the five parliamentary constituencies of Assam that went to polls in this phase. In restive Manipur, where polling is being held under high presence of security personnel, the turnout was a significantly high 77.32 per cent. There were reports of intimidation by suspected militants, altercation between Congress workers and NPF supporters and damage of EVM at a polling station in the Tangkhul Naga-dominated hill district. At KK Leishi Phanit polling station in Ukhrul, irate voters destroyed an EVM and other items after alleged disturbances by armed miscreants. The overall voting percentage in Karnataka was 68.30. A case was booked against BJP MP and Bangalore South Candidate Tejasvi Surya for allegedly posting a video on a social media platform and soliciting votes on the grounds of religion, the Election Commission said. Another BJP leader CT Ravi was booked for allegedly promoting hatred and enmity between citizens through his social media post. Various restaurants in Bangalore were offering free dosas, laddu, coffee and other food items at discounted rates to customers who cast their vote. A private hospital assisted 41 inpatients cast their vote with the help of city civic body Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP). Green corridors were created for the ambulances across constituencies to ensure easy, hassle-free voting. Some EVMs were destroyed at a polling station in Indiganatha village in Chamarajanagara district of Karnataka during a clash between two groups of people over whether to vote or not. Officials said an FIR is being filed the Election Commission will take a call after getting a detailed report. A voter turnout of 57.83 per cent was recorded in eight constituencies in Maharashtra, while in Rajasthan, the turnout was 64.07 per cent. Incidents of confrontation between the supporters of the Congress candidate and an independent candidate were reported at a couple of places during polling in Barmer-Jaisalmer Lok Sabha constituency of Rajasthan. Police said they were looking into the complaints besides some about fake voting from some places. The by-election for the Bagidora assembly constituency in Banswara district was also held simultaneously on Friday and 76.66 per cent voting took place. A voter turnout of 54.85 per cent was recorded in the eight parliamentary constituencies of Uttar Pradesh. Senior citizens dominated the early hours of voting in Noida in the Gautam Buddh Nagar constituency. Some residents' welfare associations made arrangements for electric vehicles to ferry voters to and from the polling booths. In Bihar, the turnout was 55.08 per cent, 71.84 per cent in in West Bengal and 71.91 per cent in Jammu and Kashmir. The Lok Sabha polls are the first major electoral battle in Jammu and Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 and the bifurcation of the erstwhile state into Union territories -- Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh -- on August 5, 2019. The Election Commission registered nearly 300 complaints in West Bengal, mostly related to EVM malfunctioning. After Friday's phase, polling is over in Kerala, Rajasthan and Tripura. In the first phase on April 19, polling was completed in all seats of Tamil Nadu (39), Uttarakhand (5), Arunachal Pradesh (2), Meghalaya (2), Andaman and Nicobar Islands (1), Mizoram (1), Nagaland (1), Puducherry (1), Sikkim (1) and Lakshadweep (1).

Mera naam Priya hai aur mai van me rehti hu (My name is Priya and I live in a van). Every video by Priya Sharma, an Indian-origin Australian travel influencer, begins with the phrase as she and her partner journey across Australia in their home on wheels. But did you know, there is an Indian version of this unique lifestyle? Meet Ajay Tomar, a 62-year-old retired person from Greater Noida, and his wife Sunita Tomar, 58, who have transformed their Ford EcoSport into a chalta firrta ghar (a mobile home). They use it to travel across India, experiencing the beauty of the country at their own pace. Post-retirement mobility I worked with the department of food and civil supplies, and thanks to the perks of the job, we often used the leave travel concession (LTC) to explore various places. However, these trips were often rushed, and we felt as if we have never truly experienced the places we visited. Thats why, after my retirement, we decided to travel in our car, on our terms, and truly savour every moment, he says. After Ajay retired in January 2022, their plans hit a snag when Sunita developed a severe spinal condition, confining her to bed rest for a month. However, this setback became an opportunity for Sunita to delve into her dream of travelling in their car. She spent her time researching and watching videos of other vloggers, especially those who were undertaking similar journeys in India. One such inspiration was Kapil Sharma, a travel vlogger from Ajmer, known as Ghumkkad Bugz on social media. Goa, January 2024 Making a campervan I used to watch videos of influencers abroad who were living this life, but it was Kapil Sharmas videos that struck a chord with us because he was doing this in India, she says. Encouraged by what they saw, Ajay began customising their car the very next day. The most important thing while travelling is to have your own kitchen, points out Ajay, and this became their first modification. He converted the car trunk into a functional kitchen. The design focused on having all the essentials without compromising on space or convenience. Many of their vlogs feature the couple cooking or making tea in their car kitchen. Sunita pulls out a drawer from the trunk that doubles as a stove, while she arranges the plates for their meal on a foldable table. Their second customisation focused on the bed. Travelling at our own pace means we can stop anytime and rest, so the bed was a key part of our campervan, Ajay explains. Initially, they had pull-down beds created on top of the car seats, but this design lacked headspace and storage underneath. To address this, he redesigned the beds. He made the car seats detachable and replaced them with storage boxes. Additionally, he lowered the beds height to allow headspace for the time when someone sits on the bed. Home on wheels It took me about four to five days to complete this customisation. We made these bed modifications after a test trip to Rajasthan at the end of February 2022, to see what works and what doesnt, he says. Next, they explored Uttarakhand and started making videos to share their adventures with their children. When we told our kids about our plans, they were very supportive. They would watch our videos and offer suggestions to improve our shooting, the couple adds. Dharmshala, October 2023 However, it was not until April 2023 that they uploaded their first vlog on their YouTube channel called Ghoomna Firnaa, which now has 4.3K subscribers. Their journey of travel and documentation took off when they visited Chittorgarh in August that year; the video they shot there explained the history of the place and garnered over 40K views. In October, they fulfilled a dream by camping with Ghumakkad Bugz, their favourite travel vlogger, in Dharmshala. We were fans of his, and now we were camping with him and his family, it was a dream come true, says Sunita. Their 24-day-long trip to Maharashtra this January marked a turning point. They actively started uploading videos on Instagram, and one of their reels documenting their journey to Maharashtra went viral and got over 200K views. This led to their channel getting monetised, which now has 106K followers, and is managed by the couple. Ajay primarily shoots and edits the videos, while Sunita handles scripting and content. Their itinerary is based on their bucket list and major destination goals, with careful consideration of the best routes and input from fellow travellers. Always prepared Up next, the couple are going to Ladakh in May, with special preparations for the high altitudes. An oxygen cylinder, enough drinking water, and adequate rest are a must, they emphasise. Always prepared, they even carry their own toilet camp. But why choose to stay in a campervan over a hotel in the first place? Sunita has the answer. When you are in a hotel, your interaction is limited. You go sightseeing and come back. But in our campervan, every time we pull out our kitchen drawer to make tea, people gather around us. Sometimes we share a cup of tea and sometimes we share life experiences. This kind of interaction is what keeps us going.
Minor girl gets boyfriend killed at India Gate
NEW DELHI: A 25-year-old ice cream vendor was stabbed to death near the highly secured zone of the national capital -- India Gate -- by a man on the instructions of a minor girl, a senior police officer said on Thursday. The deceased, identified as 25-year-old Prabhat, a resident of Sangam Vihar in Delhi, and a native of Etawah in Uttar Pradesh. Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) DK Mahla said information regarding a quarrel near India Gate was received at Kartavya Path police station on Wednesday around 9 pm, following which a police team rushed to the spot. Upon reaching the spot, the injured (identified as Prabhat) was found injured and was taken to Lady Hardinge Hospital for treatment where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital, the DCP said. It was found that Prabhat was an ice cream vendor at C-Hexagon India Gate who had come just on that day as a vendor. One person in his twenties came to his ice cream cart and stabbed him multiple times. Blood and slippers were found at the spot, which were seized by the police team. But the mobile phone of the deceased was missing. Family members of the deceased were questioned at length, and it came on record that Prabhat was in a relationship with one minor girl, said the DCP. Further to crack the case, the police team started electronic surveillance of mobile numbers of the alleged girl and her relatives and conducted joint raids in different places of NCR. The accused, identified as Ajay was nabbed from Noida while the alleged mastermind of the crime, a minor girl, was apprehended on late Thursday. On interrogation of the accused duo, it was revealed that the minor girl was in a relationship with both the accused and the victim and just to get rid of Prabhat, she conspired with Ajay and induced him to eliminate her boyfriend. The accused Ajay was working as a labourer and driver with a tent house at Village Shahpura in Noida, the official said, adding further investigation is underway.

Multiple niggles on my Scorpio-N: Mahindra's QC frustrates me
BHPian wooka recently shared this with other enthusiasts. This is the second time I've had the issue of the 4xplore Knob simply failing to be lit up or engage no matter what's pressed. Rebooting the car doesn't help. There seems to be a recurring assembly / harness failure point. Today I drove from Noida to Dehradun with a slightly increased transmission noise, zero acceleration/movement when making a three point turn despite being in drive, and general lethargy. Also the tyres skidded doing 1 kmph while turning on gravel near my destination. And then I just knew. I flipped the fuses for the 4Xplore actuation and the knob, both. No dice. I phoned up MnM and got the COTEK to, very kindly, give me a video of opening the center console 30 minutes later. By then I'd already done so myself and attached the harness. It clicked reassuringly into place. How in the world can this come loose by itself? Video of the 4x4 switch not working Now this is strange. This happened once months ago, previously, and the service guys said it's fixed and that the harness was 'loose'. How? Doesn't it click into place? I had last given the car for a silver box replacement (which has indeed fixed my wireless android disconnection issues), then how did the harness come apart again? Was it engaged by someone, and then physically disconnected? Cause nothing else adds up - why would the car be in 4x4 mode if the module was disconnected? What has been damaged as a result? Driving 300 kms on hard tarmac in a part time transfer case 4x4 at over 100 Kmph? This could have happened to someone else. Once previously my Thar had a broken 4x4 switch on the lever and I got stuck in the sand when I had given the car for a gear shifter boot replacement. And just three days back my Thar refused to crank despite a charged battery after stopping for tea near Udaipur. I flipped every fuse and relay only to disconnect and reconnect the battery, at which point the car cranked. It was simply ignoring the cranking position of the key before that (no reaction from the instrument cluster.) What this makes me worry about is why so frequently, when will things improve, and what QC is performed. Forgot to add, my cruise control is also broken. As is my TPMS. It's beyond me when they'll shore up their act. Their customer service is really good but their QC leaves much on the table. Good engineering marred by a lax overall approach. Video of the cruise control not working Read BHPian comments for more insights and information.

Under the scarlet gulmohar tree at the bend of Sector 50 in Noida, sits Kishore and next to him is his cart that churns out glasses after glasses of chilled sugarcane juice for people who are looking for some cold respite in this unforgiving summer heat. This is a common sight in Delhi these days the carts selling different types of thirst quenchers and the crowd of people around them. On an evening spent in the crowded lanes of Matia Mahal in Old Delhi, one could see the shops selling mohabbat ka sharbat, made with cold milk, roohafza and watermelon. The beverage was much in demand as people broke their Ramzan fast. Interestingly I also noticed a new entrant in the market called nafrat ka sharbat, which my friend Anubhav Sapra of Delhi Food Walks told me, is made of cold milk and apples and is less sweeter than the former. I wonder why there would be a dish named after hatred though! Gimmick? Maybe. The other day as I was out and about in the city for some chores, I stopped at Barakhamba Road for a glass of bel ka sharbat. Manoj Chauhan, the man behind this stall churns out almost 100 glasses a day from the months of March to June, which are priced at Rs 20 each. Bel is the Hindi name for the fruit - wood apple. One of the offerings of the summer months, bel goes by many names like Bengal quince, golden apple, holy fruit and stone apple. It is musky, funky, sweetish with a tinge of tang the complexity of its flavours can play tricks with ones senses. My mother would ensure that this is one sharbat that was always available at our home. She would extract the pulp, add some sugar to it, along with a generous squeeze of lemon juice and then mix it with cold water and serve it to us in late summer afternoons. My friend Sneha Patra shares about a similar beverage - the bela pana that is made in the households of Odisha, where the pulp is mixed with lemon juice, pepper, mint leaves and ice and then served mixed with water. If you happen to find yourself at Chandni Chowk, then you cannot miss the serpentine line outside Shri Shyam Kanji corner, near Haldiram. A little hole in the wall shop, with earthen pots covered with a red muslin cloth, where Anil, serves glass after glass of chilled fermented kanji vada. Strategically located near multiple chaat stalls, this shop does great business as the fermented kanji helps as a great digestive drink and also as a traditional cooler that many crave for, after consuming spicy chaats. But this is not the only favourite in Old Delhi Ram Kishan Sharma, whose family runs a rabri and lassi stall for almost seven decades, sells the most luscious lassi topped with rabri. The lassi is priced at Rs 70 per kulhad. But if you are a true Delhi-ite, then your love for the banta soda and masala shikanji would top all of this. Banta, travelled to Delhi from Punjab and was then adopted by the locals very fondly. Banta in Punjabi means a marble ball. Often served with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of rock salt, this tangy fizzy drink will perk you up immediately. Indian summers are a kaleidoscope of long holidays, afternoon siestas, time spent with cousins over copious amounts of summer beverages and all of these hark back to a simpler time of our childhood that finds a special place in our hearts. While the markets are abuzz with exotic smoothies and shakes, what one cannot replace is the place that these beverages hold in our memories and to top it all, these are traditional drinks that are enjoyed by varied generations.

The company has so far completed four housing projects comprising 3,200 units, while two residential projects are under construction totalling 1,800 units.

Noida residents prioritise local over national issues
NEW DELHI: The residents of Gautam Buddh Nagar and Ghaziabad districts of western Uttar Pradesh claim they will vote for better civic facilities instead of national issues. The BJP, which has held the reins of Gautam Buddha Nagar and Ghaziabad for a decade, has failed to address the pressing development issues. Whether in urban or rural areas, the situation is dire. The BJPs focus on national issues is a ploy to divert attention from the failures of its MPs. However, the ground reality is that people are yearning for efficient service delivery, a dream that remains distant. The plight of farmers, a significant concern, has also been neglected, voiced Dushyant Nagar, a farmers rights activist, on Tuesday. Despite the rapid urbanisation characterised by the emergence of high-rise societies, commercial complexes, malls, metros, and educational institutes, the need for more basic civic infrastructure is glaring. Pothole-ridden roads, inadequate public transport, inefficient waste disposal mechanisms, and erratic water and power supply are the stark realities. There is a poor bus facility between Noida and Ghaziabad and last-mile connectivity. Our representatives make big promises before elections but forget them after winning, said Noida-based social activist Manoj Kumar. Though the metro has reached Noida and Ghaziabad, several areas still need to be within reach, and commuters have to rely on private transport to commute from one place to another. I reside in Greater Noida (West) and commute to my office in Delhi, a distance of 12 kilometres. I rely on a shared auto to reach the metro station, but often, I struggle to find one, leading to delays. Moreover, the auto drivers exploit the situation, charging exorbitant fares, shared Saurav, a resident of one of the societies. Since urban residents are gradually expanding, people complain about poor health and education facilities. The problem is that facilities are not expanding accordingly. Neither government hospitals nor schools and colleges are coming into newly developed pockets. In many areas, people are fully dependent on private hospitals, schools and colleges, said Neeraj Singh, an RTI activist from Gautam Buddha Nagar. Both the districts are going to polls on April 26 in the second phase of Lok Sabha elections.

PM Modi doesn't do politics on religion basis: Rajnath Singh
Noida: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has never done politics on the basis of religion or by dividing the society and stressed that his predecessor Dr Manmohan Singh had in 2006 talked about extending reservation for the Muslims.The defence minister made the remarks at an election rally in Greater Noida in support of BJP's Gautam Buddh Nagar Lok Sabha candidate Mahesh Sharma. Prime Minister Modi on Sunday suggested that if the Congress comes to power, it would redistribute wealth of people to the Muslims and cited Dr Singh's remark that the minority community had the first claim on the country's resources. Addressing a rally in Rajasthan's Banswara, Modi also alleged the Congress plans to give people's hard-earned money and valuables to infiltrators and hose who have more children. Addressing a gathering at Bisahda village in Greater Noida, the defence minister attacked the opposition for creating a ruckus at this time and trying to put a question mark on Prime Minister Modi. Sisters and brothers, it's not that I know the prime minister from today. We have had very good relations for a long time. He has never done politics of Hindu, Muslim and Christian. Our prime minister never thought of doing politics by dividing the society, Singh said. He (Modi) said at one place that Congress has said in its manifesto that we will get the properties surveyed. If it is said in the manifesto then why should people have any objection to it. What do you want to do by getting the properties surveyed? Do you want to distribute the country's resources equally? What do you want to do? he asked. The veteran BJP leader also asked the Congress to clear its position on the matter. Dr Manmohan Singh ji was the prime minister of India. I respect Dr Manmohan Singh ji even today, I have respect for him, brothers and sisters. Dr Manmohan Singh himself in the meeting of the National Defence Council at the Vigyan Bhawan on December 9, 2006, had said that if anyone has the first right on the property of this country, it is the minority and especially he had said that it belongs to the Muslims, Singh said. Sisters and brothers, whatever property and whatever resources there are in this country, everyone should have equal rights, he had said this, we did not say this. Now when the prime minister said this, these people created an uproar over it, he added. Singh said the Congress-led government had in the past formed several commissions, which had recommended in their report that out of the 27 per cent reservation for the OBCs, 6 per cent should be for the Muslims and 2 per cent should be for the minorities. We did not make this commission, he added. Escalating his attack on the Congress, Singh said, It did not stop at this. If someone from the Scheduled Caste converts, he should be given reservation despite the change of religion. Not only this, they (Congress) also ended the reservation of SC-ST in Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University. These people have formed the government by dividing the country equally on the basis of Hindu and Muslim, he alleged. The senior BJP leader stressed that his party does not want to make the country by dividing it on the basis of caste, creed, religion, Hindu, Muslim or Christian, but wants to make India a great country of the world by keeping everyone together. Singh also slammed the opposition parties for their critical comments over the victory of a BJP Lok Sabha candidate in Surat, Gujarat, after he was elected unopposed. One of our candidates has won unopposed in Surat, Gujarat, the process of BJP's victory has started. But people of Congress and other political parties are saying that this is a threat to democracy. I want to ask this, I want to say to the friends of the Congress, I want to say to the people of the other party -- do not do politics by throwing dust in the eyes of the public, do politics by looking the public in the eye if you have the courage, Singh said. You also had your governments. Many times the MPs were elected unopposed. If your MP wins unopposed, democracy becomes stronger and if one of our MPs wins, democracy becomes weaker, he added. The BJP leader reminded that Samajwadi Party leader Dimple Yadav had won unopposed in the by-election in Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh, in 2012. At that the time the Congress or the BSP did not see democracy in danger. Where do these people want to take the country? Singh asked. I say this often that don't do politics by misleading the public, instead look them in the eyes and do politics. They have made a 'tamasha' of everything. They want to seek public support by misleading them, he said. Also I urge the friends from the press, if I say something wrong, print it in newspapers and run it in on the television. I am someone who would acknowledge if I make a mistake. I am saying this because I have never engaged in politics by deceiving the public, he added.

Masala recall again exposes failing quality control
There is understandable heat over the recent bans by Hong Kong and Singapore on a slew of spices and condiments exported from India. The Hong Kong food regulator, on a random inspection, discovered high levels of a cancer-causing pesticide in several mixes of well-known brands MDH and Everest. It told distributors to recall those products and stop further imports. Subsequently, the Singapore Food Agency directed a local distributor to recall Everests fish curry masala. Following these embarrassing bans, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has rushed to close the barn door after the horse has bolted. It commissioned quality checks on MDH and Everest spice mixes to determine whether they have carcinogen traces above permissible levels. Unfortunately, the damage has been done. Checks to enforce quality and safety must be done before and not after products are distributed. After the tragic death of more than a hundred children in Gambia, Uzbekistan and Cameroon from consuming contaminated cough syrup imported from India, one would have expected more stringent quality control. In September 2022, there was fury in Gambia after 70 kids under five died from injuries caused to their kidneys from cough syrup exported by Maiden Pharma. The World Health Organization said the medicine contained unacceptable amounts of ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol, poisonous in certain quantities. The tragedy was repeated in Uzbekistan between December 2022 and January 2023, when 68 kids lost their lives after ingesting cough syrup exported by a Noida-based pharmaceutical company. On the spices ban, one can now expect some buck-passing. The FSSAI, which is in charge of domestic food and beverage quality standards, is saying it cannot monitor export consignments. But before things slip back to normal, one should consider some important takeaways. First, despite red flags on quality standards, our regulators seem to turn a Nelsons eye once the heat dies down. Quite recently, in 2023, the US Food and Drug Administration recalled Everests sambhar masala consignments when samples were detected with salmonella. Second, when the country is pushing to increase exports to new markets, allowing a dangerous quality lapse is a huge credibility dent. Finally, if banned substances are being found in exported products, one dreads to think what is being dumped in the domestic market. Undeniably, there is a crying need to ramp up our quality control systems.
