Champion Infratech Signs an Exclusive Agreement with Crystal Lagoons in India

Business Wire India Champion Infratech, a Bengaluru-based real estate player and a division of Champions Group, cares about environmentally responsible building practices and developing quality lifestyles for valued customers. The company announced the signing of an exclusivity agreement withCrystal Lagoonsin India to develop freshwater lagoons for public and private use throughout the country. As stated by Subhakar Rao Surapaneni, Chairman and Chief Coach of ChampionInfratech and Champions Group, Champion Infratech has always distinguished itself by its innovative and client-centric approach. It is our goal to bring 100 lagoons to India within the next 20 years (excluding Gujarat and Rajasthan) through various collaborations. Through this exclusive agreement, we are able to ensure the quality and rollout of private and public lagoon developments across the country, further cementing our partnershipwith Crystal Lagoons. Our team is excited about the potential that Crystal Lagoons technology offers to create beach life in every city. This will revolutionize the concept of lifestyle amenities for residential and commercial properties. Through this partnership, Champion Infratech intends to establish a diversified real estate portfolio. This portfolio will include projects designed for Indians who aspire to live surrounded by natural, iconic, and sustainable amenities. With these projects, inhabitants of coastal and inland cities including New Delhi, Pune, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Goa, Chennai, and many more will have the opportunity to experience a tropical paradise on their doorstep. These projects will leverage the sustainable aspect of Crystal Lagoons technology. It works with any type of water and uses four times less water than a golf course. It also consumes only half that of a park of the same size. A significant number of projects will include space for hotels, amusement parks and multi-family areas, stores, restaurants, recreational and entertainment activities, wedding arenas, water sports, and commercial and leisure infrastructure around the crystalline waters. These idyllic beaches with lagoons of crystalline water will transform the real estate landscape into breathtaking destinations that can be enjoyed all year round. Lagoons can be constructed in any type of environment, including inland areas, urban areas, coastal areas, and second-row coastal properties of any shape and size. As a result, developers and landowners collaborating on this project can benefit from the transformation of their otherwise unviable projects into feasible ones with increased property values. With this technology, more than 1000 lagoon projects have been built in 50 countries around the globe and it has become a worldwide phenomenon. In addition, Champion Infratech sees potential demand for lagoons in various Indian cities with the rise in the aspirations of Indian citizens. Added to this Crystal Lagoons technology is sustainable and safe for the environment. It allows limited resources such as energy and water to be used. This is a substantial benefit for a country like India. Indian developers and landowners are already in talks with the company about bringing large man-made lagoons to cities and a few are in advanced stages, and an announcement will be made by early next year.

Misbehavior with Gehlot minister during Rahul's visit, who once said- High command is nothing...

Jaipur: In September this year, when there was a political uproar in Rajasthan, Shanti Dhariwal, a minister considered very special to CM Ashok Gehlot, came out openly against the decision of the party's high command. On September 25, Shanti Dhariwal in Jaipur went against the high command's one-line agenda and did not allow it to pass. . pic.twitter.com/tm1WKyeQp3 Acharya Pramod (@AcharyaPramodk) December 8, 2022 Not only this, but Dhariwal had also called former Deputy CM Sachin Pilot a traitor. The party had also issued a notice against him, but no action was taken. Now Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra has reached Rajasthan, but the pictures of Shanti Dhariwal coming out of this yatra seem to be questioning his political future. Two pictures of Congress Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi's 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' are going viral on social media. In the first picture, CMGehlot's group minister Shanti Dhariwal himself is seen, while in the second picture, Shanti Dhariwal's son Amit Dhariwal is also seen. In both pictures, Rahul's security personnel are seen pushing Shanti Dhariwal and his son Amit Dhariwal. Looking at these two pictures, it seems that Gehlot's minister is not getting any attention in this yatra, while Shanti Dhariwal is considered to be the biggest leader of the Kota Congress. Shanti Dhariwal was also given the responsibility of leading Rahul's visit to Kota, but the demeanor meted out to him during the yatra is in the headlines on social media.

Wheat sowing up 25 pc so far this rabi season

Wheat acreage has increased by 25 per cent so far in the ongoing rabi season at 255.76 lakh hectares mainly on higher sowing area in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, the government data showed. The area under coverage for wheat, which is the major crop in rabi (winter-sown) season, stood at 203.91 lakh hectares in the same period last year. Sowing of rabi crops starts from October. Higher area has been reported from Uttar Pradesh (20.09 lakh hectares), Madhya Pradesh (13.48 lakh hectares), Rajasthan (5.32 lakh hectares), Gujarat (2.61 lakh hectares), Maharashtra (2.43 lakh hectares), Bihar (2.24 lakh hectares), Punjab (1.32 lakh hectares) and Haryana (1.28 lakh hectares). Increase in wheat sowing area augurs well for the country as the domestic production had fallen to 106.84 million tonnes in the 2021-22 crop year (July-June) from 106.84 million tonnes in the previous year. In May this year, the government banned exports of wheat to boost domestic supplies and control prices. Wheat procurement by state-owned FCI fell to 187.92 lakh tonnes in 2022-23 marketing year from 434.44 lakh tonnes due to fall in domestic output and aggressive purchase by private parties. According to data as on December 9, paddy acreage has increased to 11.86 lakh hectares so far from 10.42 lakh hectares. Pulses have been sown in 127.07 lakh hectares so far as against 123.77 lakh hectare, with area under gram rising to 89.42 lakh hectares from 87.28 lakh hectares. Area under coverage for coarse cereals has risen to 36.39 lakh hectares from 32.05 lakh hectares. In non-foodgrain category, area under coverage for oilseeds has increased to 95.19 lakh hectares from 87.65 lakh hectares. Mustard, the main oilseeds crop in rabi season, rose to 87.95 lakh hectares from 80.78 lakh hectares. India imports about 60 per cent of its edible oils requirement. Therefore, the increase in the mustard seeds acreage will boost domestic output of mustard oil. Total sowing area under rabi crops has increased to 526.27 lakh hectares so far from 457.80 lakh hectares in the corresponding period of the last year.

RJD leader demands Nitish Kumar's resignation, asked to make this leader CM

Patna: The Bharatiya Janata Party has won the by-election in Bihar's Kudhani assembly seat. In this election, Bharatiya Janata Party's Kedar Gupta defeated Janata Dal United's candidate Manoj Kushwaha fighting on behalf of Grand Alliance. Lalu Yadav's party Rashtriya Janata Dal has blamed Nitish Kumar for the defeat in the Kudni by-election. Even the former MLA of the party demanded Nitish Kumar to resign from the post of Chief Minister and hand over the post to Tejashwi Yadav. Former MLA of Rashtriya Janata Dal from Kudhani, Anil Sahni said that this defeat is not of the Grand Alliance. This defeat is of Nitish Kumar. We lost this election because of the stubbornness of Nitish Kumar. He did not even go to campaign in Gopaganj and Mokama. He said that the way Tejashwi Yadav sacrificed the party symbol in the by-election. Similarly, Nitish Kumar should also resign from the post of Chief Minister and Tejashwi Yadav should be made the Chief Minister to strengthen the Grand Alliance. Voting was held for the Kudhani by-election in Bihar on 5 December. BJP's Kedar Prasad Gupta has won from here in the results that came on Thursday. BJP has defeated Janata Dal-United by around 3,645 votes. Here BJP got 76,653 votes and Janata Dal-United got 73,008 votes. Before the Lok Sabha elections, the Kudhani assembly by-election was being considered a semi-final in the politics of Bihar. These by-elections were held after the disqualification of the Rashtriya Janata Dal MLA from the Kudhani assembly seat, Anil Sahni by the MP-MLA court. On this seat, instead of Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal-United fielded its candidate. Rashtriya Janata Dal's Kedar Gupta was in the fray in the 2020 elections, who lost by just 712 votes.

How did Sonia Gandhi become Cong president after removing Sitaram Kesri?

New Delhi: Congress president Sonia Gandhi is celebrating her 69th birthday today. At present, even though Mallikarjun Kharge is Congress's national president today, it cannot be denied that Kharge could have sat on the chair by defeating Shashi Tharoor in the elections without Sonia Gandhi's consent. However, this is not the first time that Sonia Gandhi has worked behind the scenes to keep the reins of the party in her hands. Former Prime Minister Narasimha Rao and former Congress President Sitaram Kesri have also been victims of this. Sonia Gandhi was so angry with Narasimha Rao that the former PrimeMinister of the country was not even given a place in Delhi for his funeral. Even after being a veteran Congressman, Sonia Gandhi did not allow his body to enter the Congress headquarters. Later, seeing Sitaram Kesari's stature increasing, Sonia Gandhi also expelled him from the party. Sitaram Kesri's departure was worse than Narasimha Rao's. Veteran Gandhian and freedom fighter Sitaram Kesri was actually thrown on the road by Sonia Gandhi loyalists after the 12th Lok Sabha (1998) election. In this election, Sonia Gandhi held more than 130 rallies. But, even after this, the Congress was reduced to 142 seats. Even the Congress lost its traditional stronghold of Amethi in Uttar Pradesh. A pro-Sonia faction of the Congress blamed Kesari for the defeat. However, Kesari did not hold a single rally in this election. However, it was argued that the Congress did not benefit from Sonia Gandhi's charisma due to Kesari's weak leadership. In fact, the political ground was being prepared by leaders loyal to Congress to increase Sonia Gandhi's stature. Sonia Gandhi loyalists alleged that Kesari failed to hold talks with south Indian leaders as he did not know English. Even Kesari, a freedom fighter, was labeled anti-Savarna. Kesari belonged to the OBC caste. He was accused of conspiring with socialists like Mulayam Singh and Lalu Prasad Yadav. Sitaram Kesari resigned from the post of President on March 9, 1998. However, shortly after this, he immediately took a U-turn and withdrew his resignation. Kesari had decided to step down from the post in the open session of the AICC and on the day of his choice. However, on March 14, 1998, a meeting of the Congress Working Committee was held at 24, Akbar Road. Kesari also attended this meeting. But Kesari was unaware that he had already been stabbed in the back. Sonia Gandhi's supporters had earlier decided to present two proposals at a meeting at Pranab Mukherjee's residence. The first proposal was to remove Sitaram Kesri and the second was to make Sonia Gandhi sit on the chair of national president. Sitaram Kesari also got to know the truth in a short time. At the meeting, only Tariq Anwar stood up to greet him. Pranab Mukherjee thanked Kesari for his service to the party, in a way, this thank you was a sign of Kesari's journey to end soon. After this, Kesari got up from the meeting and left. Tariq Anwar walked back and forth to his room. A group of leaders led by Manmohan Singh went to convince him, but Kesari flatly refused to come back. Political pundits also say that after this Kesari imprisoned himself in a room. After this, the room was opened and Kesari was forced to sign the resignation paper. After this, Sonia Gandhi reached the Congress headquarters. While Sitaram Kesari was going to sit in his car at that timeyouth Congress workers also tried to pull his dhoti. By the time Kesari came out of 24 Akbar Road, the nameplate bearing his name had also been torn and thrown into the dustbin and a new printout had been put up at the spot that read: 'Congress President Sonia Gandhi'.

2 Thars & a V-Cross go on a 1500 km road trip to the dunes of Rajasthan

BHPian abhikb recently shared this with other enthusiasts.1500 km road trip with 2 Thars and 1 IsuzuDid a 1500 Kms road trip to the dunes of Rajasthan over the weekend, started on a Friday night post completion of work, had a company of a Thar 2020 and an Isuzu V cross. This being the first overnight road trip for our little one, had to take care of our sleeping arrangements on priority. We put the bags in the floor space at the rear, then placed a pair of pillows at a couple of places to support and on top of that a mattress, bedsheet and a pillow to complete the sleeping arrangement. We started from Ahmedabad around 10pm and drove through the night to reach our destination. Ayona slept peacefully through the journey and was rather fascinated with the arrangement made for her. While going got a decent mileage of 14 kmpl with consistent speeds of around 100 kmph, on the dunes had a hard time initially but later on, understood that momentum is the key. Most of the obstacles were accomplished in 4H, 2nd or 3rd gear, where stuck use 4L. Although it's better to use 3rd gear as much as possible since the 2nd gear is too weak to hold on. During the return journey, we took the Sam-Munabao route, followed by the Bharatmala road from Gadra till Bakhasar. This route is absolutely a driver's delight as the Bharat mala road is freshly laid and there's rarely any traffic on this route, you can easily cruise at 90+ kmph speeds all day long without any hurdles. For those who wish to explore the uncharted route and take sight of unexplored surroundings, this route is best. Although this was our second time on this route and the first one in a 4X4, couldn't have expected more out of this trip. Next up, from Bakhasar one route would take us through Nadabet but the same needed permission to move, however, the GPS showed one more route through Mavsari. We enquired with the locals who confirmed that we can take this route provided we drive 4X4s. It was around 10pm, when we entered this route and started driving on the GMaps route. The road then ended abruptly due to an incomplete bridge over the Luni river, it was pitch dark around and the safest bet would have been to go back and take a 100 Kms detour. Anyhow using flashlights we could spot a trail with tyre tracks over the river bed, listening to our instincts we drove down the river bed following the tyre tracks. It was pitch dark and only the area being covered by the headlights was visible, we kept following the tyre tracks and were out of the river bed in the next 45 minutes. The best part was the night sky which gave a perfect star gazing experience, staying the in the urban cities we rarely get to experience such a beautiful sight. From Mavsari we drive towards Tharad, had dinner and reached home around 3 am in the night. It was a long day but each and every moment was worth spending. Ayona (our little one) slept like a small bunny at the rear bed arrangement made for her. For reference the route on the return leg was: Sam-Khuri-Munabao-Gadra Road-Bakhasar-Mavsari-Tharad-Ahmedabad Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.

Skill for admission: Indian students must have these skills for admission to top IIMs in India, read this article for more...

Top business schools in India look for many important qualities in an MBA candidate, such as the candidate's aptitude for the demanding and demanding MBA program. If you are also a student who wants to take admitted to top business schools in India, there are two aspects of management education skills required for MBA aspirants to get admission in any MBA program and skills required during the MBA program What will be the study course of the students? If Indian students have a clear knowledge about both these aspects, then such students will be greatly helped in making future career plans. Professor Rajeev Kumar, Faculty - Operations Management Groups, IIM Calcutta has discussed both these aspects in detail for Indian students in an interview and we are presenting the key excerpts of this interview in this article for your convenience. Let's read this article further: Interview Highlights What to do to crack MBA Admission Interviews? Generally, how do MBA candidates present themselves in an interview? ......... are often influenced by the feedback they get about this from their peers, coaching centers, and other such sources. But, despite thorough preparation, interview panels often find MBA candidates lacking in genuineness and originality. Especially when a candidate has to tell about his/her strengths and weaknesses, it will be better for the candidates if they try to be truthful and precise in their approach. No member of the interview panel expects that the candidate will have an understanding and knowledge of every topic. So, being clear and honest during an MBA interview can help you impress the interview panel better. The panel does not pay much attention to how the candidate is dressed or how he presents himself. Since it is natural for any candidate to be a little nervous and jittery during the interview, therefore, generally, the panel does not consider it as a disadvantage against the candidate. But, during the interview itself, the interviewers also check your academic skills and professional experience. On the academic front, the panel will try to judge how well you have performed in your studies?.....and whether you are capable of handling the pressure that an MBA student goes through during an MBA program. Similarly, the interview panel will also ask questions related to your work experience so that they can know how much professional life experience you have. Candidates are expected to share with the panel specific experiences of their professional life such as, what challenges they faced and what strategies they adopted to overcome those challenges. Apart from this, the panel will also try to find out how much knowledge you have about the organization and industry in which you worked. RELATED STORIES An important part of this definition is that as a well-rounded professional, you should not only take care of your career interest and job interest but also pay full attention to the happenings around you. If you do not demonstrate this attitude in the interview, then it seems that you are missing a bit in your approach. Top Indian business schools look for these skills in their MBA candidates The most important quality that business schools look for in an MBA candidate is the candidate's ability and talent to complete the rigorous and demanding MBA program. In this regard, they first check the academic capability of the candidate. Students who have a strong academic track record, their academic track records let the business school's selection committee know that the student can complete the pace and pressure of an MBA program, both in terms of curricular and extra-curricular aspects. have the ability to do. Similarly, business schools try to check other aspects of the students other than academics in which the candidates have achieved some mastery or achievement. It can be any hobby of the candidates or information about special events happening around the candidates or general information etc. Showing mastery and interest in an extra-curricular area show that you are not just a 'bookworm' but also deeply interested in life around you. Similarly, if you have work experience, the business school tries to find out how interested you are in your job, the company you worked in, and the industry you worked in. The business school will also try to find out how aware you are of serious economic or business trends in the field you worked in. Indian students learn these skills in their MBA program During an MBA program, a student acquires skills in 2 broad categories. The first category is technical or functional skills. These skills are related to core business fundamentals such as finance, accounting, operations, and marketing. In a business school, you will get complete information or review related information about all these business fundamentals and also understand the practical importance of these fundamentals while doing business. Another aspect of an MBA program that is often overlooked by MBA students is the behavioral aspects of the program. They are also known colloquially as soft skills. Behavioral skills are very important for business managers. These skills enhance your ability to work with many people who may not necessarily share your views. Soft skills help managers to resolve conflicts and these skills teach managers to effectively interact with people, especially in situations where people and their work depend on each other.

History Unfold: Know the story of Fairy Queen, the world's oldest steam engine...

The world's oldest steam engine Fairy Queen is present in India. After completing its final journey from Delhi Cantt to Rewari, the engine is now a tourist attraction at Rewari Loco Shed. Learn the story of Fairy Queen, the world's oldest steam engine The engines which pull the train are the center of attraction during the train journey. With the changing times, the appearance of old engines is also changing, but do you know that the world's oldest steam-powered rail engine Fairy Queen still exists? This engine had completed its last journey from Delhi to Rewari. Since then it is present in the heritage loco shed of Rewari, where it remains a center of attraction among the people. Today we will tell you about the story of the world's oldest engine through this article. The locomotive Fairy Queen engine was built in 1855 by Kitson, Thompson, and Hewitson in Leeds, England. After its construction, it reached Kolkata known as Calcutta in India in the same year. On arrival in India, it was given the fleet number 22 by its owner, the East Indian Railway Company. The special thing is that the world's oldest engine did not get a name until 1895. Initially, the locomotive was used to haul light mail trains between Howrah and Raniganj in West Bengal. At the same time, during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, army vehicles were pulled by it. Later it was handed over for line construction work in Bihar. This engine was declared damaged in 1905. At that time, foreign engineers had tried to make this engine seven times. Later in 1971, it was established as a model railway at Chandausi Zonal Training School. When the engine was back on track from the rail museum This engine from Chandausi Zonal Training School was preserved in the Indian Railway Museum at Chanakyapuri, Delhi. This museum was opened on February 1, 1977, after which people reached to see this engine. However, this engine was yet to complete the journey ahead from here. This was the reason that once again in the year 1997, it came down on the tracks from July 18 for commercial activities. In 1998, a year after it was put back on track, the engine was certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's oldest steam locomotive in regular operation. The following year, the Fairy Queen train received the National Tourism Award for Most Innovative and Unique Tourism Project from the then Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee. In 2011, the wheels stopped again due to a boiler explosion During its journey in the year 2011, the wheels of this engine stopped once again due to the explosion of its boiler. It was difficult to get back on track after a boiler explosion, but railway engineers prepared a new boiler at Trichurapalli, followed by a boiler replacement at Shakur Basti and the repair of other engine parts. Earlier the speed of this engine used to be 10 km per hour. Later it was increased to 90 kmph. The steam engine has also traveled between Delhi to Alwar The heritage train with the Fairy Queen engine was brought back on track in 2004 with the efforts of the Rajasthan government. This train, which gives a feel of the royal style of Rajasthan, used to run between Delhi and Alwar. It used to run from Delhi to Alwar on Saturdays and from Alwar to Delhi on Sundays. Travelers used to get a chance to see Bala Fort, Silisedh Lake, Sariska National Park, etc. with the help of the Rajasthan Tourism Department.

Defeat in Gujarat, victory in Himachal: Bittersweet day for Congress

Politics While Congress seems to wrest Himachal from BJP, it suffered a crushing defeat in Gujarat where its likely to get just 10 percent of the seats in the 182-member assembly with the AAP getting over 12 percent of the vote share. PTI The Congress on Thursday suffered its worst-ever defeat in Gujarat but appeared headed for a close win in Himachal Pradesh, a mixed bag result for the party that not only faces a rampaging BJP but an ambitious AAP vying for the leadership of the Opposition going forward on the road to the 2024 general elections. While the grand old party seemed likely to wrest Himachal Pradesh from the BJP and keep the ivaj (tradition) of alternate governments in the hill state alive, it suffered a crushing defeat in Gujarat where it was likely to get just 10 per cent of the seats in the 182-member assembly with the AAP getting over 12 per cent of the vote share. In Himachal Pradesh, the Congress found itself in a better position leading on 40 seats with a vote share of over 40 per cent with the AAP at a dismal third with about one per cent vote share. However, a dismal showing in the Gujarat polls comes as a big jolt for the party as it risks ceding the space of opposition in the state to the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP in a state which has been bi-party over the years. It would also impact its bargaining power vis-a-vis other Opposition parties. Also, losing Gujarat badly could also add to the exodus of leaders that the party has been facing. Asked about the results coming in, former Congress leader Sanjay Jha, who had also been a party spokesperson, said the Congress is paying a spectacular price for its self-inflicted mammoth Punjab disaster where it gave away the state on a silver platter with golden ribbons to its nemesis, the AAP.Naturally an emboldened AAP sees Congress as a low-hanging fruit. That explains the dismal withering away in Gujarat and Delhi, he told PTI. The decimation in Gujarat would not only have a bearing on the morale of the Congress and its workers that has been running high on the back a successful rollout of the Bharat Jodo Yatra, but also impact the party's ability to mobilise support and resources for future electoral battles. Manindra Nath Thakur, who teaches political science at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, termed the Gujarat loss a disaster for the Congress and said it could lend credence to the argument that the AAP may replace or challenge the grand old party in bi-party states.The Congress faces more danger from the AAP going towards 2024. The BJP is in a comfortable position and the AAP could swing the anti-BJP vote towards it if Congress does not rework its strategy. The AAP can put up a challenge for the Congress next in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh also, he told PTI. However, the prospect of a Himachal Pradesh win had given the leaders of the party something to cheer about. The party, currently in power on its own only in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, is likely to add one more state, albeit a small one, to its kitty. The likely victory will also be significant for the party especially because its electoral clout in the north has been on a decline for more than a decade now. The Himachal Pradesh comeback is a huge morale booster because it has been able to reclaim the state despite a massive BJP election machinery, Jha said. This should give the Congress hope for both 2023 and 2024 albeit a lot will depend upon how it recharges the party after the Bharat Jodo Yatra concludes, he told PTI. The results come a day after the Congress suffered yet another setback when results of civic body elections in Delhi came in on Wednesday, with the party finishing a distant third, winning only nine of the 250 wards in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). The AAP unseated the BJP in the MCD, winning 134 wards. The BJP won in 104 wards. The MCD and Gujarat defeats and a confidence boosting Himachal Pradesh performance had left the party with more questions than answers on the road to the 2024 general elections. Its Opposition leadership still remains challenged by parties such as the AAP and the TMC, and the jury is still out whether the Bharat Jodo Yatra would pay electoral dividends or not. A sterner test awaits the party with a slew of assembly polls next year including in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Karnataka. The road to 2024 is long and the journey appears to be getting difficult for the grand old party that has pinned its hopes on the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra for a revival. Whether that will happen, only time will tell.

Vasundhara Raje slams Congress govt over Rahul Gandhi 'Bharat Jodo Yatra'

Jaipur: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra entered the fourth day in Rajasthan, where Rahul Gandhi has completed his tour of two districts in 4 days. Amid the Congress' yatra, the BJP is taking out a Jan Akrosh Yatra in the state and the party leaders are constantly attacking Rahul Gandhi. Meanwhile, former Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje has given a statement on Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra for the first time. Addressing the BJP's Jan Aakrosh rally in Jhalawar virtually on Wednesday, Vasundhara Raje said that the government is neglecting Jhalawar because I have been an MP from there and now Dushyant Singh is an MP. Vasundhara Raje said that after 4 years, 2-4 days ago, the roads here have definitely been made shiny, but not for the common people, but for the special guests, who are passing through here, development is happening fast there. Targeting the Gehlot government, Vasundhara Raje said that domestic electricity used to come into the villages sometimes, sometimes not, today there is electricity for 24 hours because of a special guest. Raje said that it is four days of moonlight and then a dark night, guests have gone and development is missing. The former CM said that you should not worry, the darkness will end, the sun will rise and the lotus will bloom. Vasundhara Raje further said that the Congress government has only cared for itself in the last 4 years and has forgotten the people. She said that the Gehlot government worked for itself and not for the people and instead of saving people, they were engaged in protecting themselves. Raje said that at present this public anger against the state government is not visible among the BJP and the people but among the Congress leaders, ministers, and MLAs themselves.
