"Today in Politics: PM Modi in Maharashtra, Shah and Rahul Gandhi in Odisha"

Today marks another eventful day in Indian politics as leaders from various parties embark on campaign trails and political engagements across the country.

PM Modi’s Campaign Trail: 

After a powerful show of strength during his nomination in Varanasi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shifts his focus to Maharashtra. Scheduled to address rallies in Dindori, Kalyan, and Ghatkopar within the Mumbai North East Lok Sabha constituencies, Modi’s campaign continues ahead of the fifth phase of polling on May 20. Notably, this comes in the wake of a tragic incident in Ghatkopar, where an illegal hoarding collapse claimed lives and left many injured.

Amit Shah’s Itinerary: 

Union Home Minister Amit Shah begins his day with a rally in Hooghly, West Bengal, before heading to Odisha. Upon reaching Bhubaneswar, Shah will address public meetings in Sorada and Boudh, followed by a roadshow in Cuttack. However, reports suggest that Rourkela and Kantabanji have been omitted from his schedule, raising speculations.

Rahul Gandhi’s Engagement:

 Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi gears up for a bike rally in Odisha’s Bolangir, while party president Mallikarjun Kharge is anticipated to host a joint press conference with Arvind Kejriwal and Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow. The collaborative effort signifies a strategic move towards strengthening alliances and garnering support.

AAP’s Campaign Plans: 

Arvind Kejriwal, the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party, is set to campaign across multiple states, starting with Lucknow on May 15, followed by Jamshedpur and Mumbai. The AAP aims to bolster support for INDIA bloc candidates through targeted campaigns and engagements.

Haryana Cabinet Meeting: 

Amidst the ongoing political turmoil in Haryana, the Nayab Singh Saini-led government has convened a Cabinet meeting. Expected to unveil and approve the excise policy for 2024–25, speculations also arise regarding the recommendation for convening an Assembly session amidst the evolving political landscape.

As the political landscape continues to evolve and electoral fervor intensifies, these developments underscore the significance of strategic campaigns, alliance-building, and governance amidst challenges and opportunities.

Dhamra port

Dhamra port

Dhamra Port is a newly developed port in Bhadrak district. It is located on the coast of the Bay of Bengal, about 7 km from the old port of Dhamra.

History-- BC Dhamra is one of the 12 ports built in Kalinga in the second century. Greek tourist Ptolemy describes it as Adam. According to Shivaprasad Das's book 'Odisha of the Past', the ancient name of the Adham Baitarani Muhan Dhamra was Dham or Dhamma. There was an ancient city and a harbor. It has now been destroyed in the Salandi, Baitarani and Brahmani floods.

New port-- An agreement to develop the port was signed in 1998. As a result, Dhamra Port Company Limited (DPCL) was formed in a 50:50 joint venture between Larson & Toubro and Tata Steel. The first ship arrived at the port on February 8, 2010, and the first merchant ship arrived on April 10, 2011. The port's annual capacity will initially be 25 million tonnes, and will gradually increase to 80 million tonnes per year. Greenpeace has said it will be affected by the recent extinction of the rare Olive Ridley tortoise sanctuary.

Purpose-- A $ 12 million steel plant will be set up by South Korea's Posco, which will pave the way for new jobs and economic growth. The port will import and export metals from iron ore mines. The Odisha government has plans to set up other industries in the area. One of these is the shipbuilding plant and the production of petrochemical gas-based producer Tumb. There are also plans to create housing, health care and other urban-like facilities.

Construction-- The Government of Odisha signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the International Seaports in April 1998 on the basis of BOOST (Build-Own-Operate-Share-and-Transfer). It will take 30 years to complete, and it will work on a four-year plan. The work was handed over to Dhamra Port Trust Company Limited in May 1999. (Dhamra Port Company Limited) (DPCL). Construction began in 2005, and by 2006, the land required for rail siding had been completed. The port will have 13 berths and a capacity of 83 million tonnes per year. At the initial stage, two 350-meter berths have been built for the importation of combustible coal, steam coal, thermal coal and limestone, and for the export of mixed iron and steel, which can be successfully transported to transport goods. The initial capacity will be 15.25 million tonnes of coal and limestone imports and 9.75 million tonnes of iron ore and steel exports. For this, there will be a maritime system of 18 km. The 62-kilometer railway line connecting Bhadrak and Ranital was inaugurated on May 8, 2011. This is the first line of Indian Railways aimed at industrial development based on revenue sharing. It is an agreement between the Indian Railways and the port of Dhamra. The first cruise ship arrived in Australia from Australia in September 2010, bringing in 45,000 tonnes of cooking coal for the Tata Steel plant in Jamshedpur.

Natural crisis-- The coast of Odisha is prone to storms. "It simply came to our notice then. In the past, it was protected by a 5 km long forest, but today it has been destroyed due to the construction of dams on the river, etc. The epicenter was reported below the Pacific Ocean floor, however; no tsunami alert was issued. The deep port project is said to be responsible for the destruction of the forest, including the nearby Bhitarkanika Sanctuary. In May 2010, 20 political leaders protested and blocked construction. They commented that this was contrary to the Forest Protection Act of 1980. The port is located north of the Gahirmatha Marine Sanctuary, where 20,00,000 to 50,00,000 female Olive Ridley turtles lay their eggs each year. Environmentalists say the area around the port is not their place to lay their eggs, but environmentalists say it will affect the pollution caused by the port. In July 2007, Greenpeace activists rallied in front of the Tata Group's headquarters in Bombay to demand the closure of the port for the protection of turtles. DCPL. (DPCL) rejected it as baseless. They said the environmental clearance had already been obtained. The tortoise's nesting site is far to the south, and the shipping route will in no way affect the way the tortoises come and go. Tata & Sons has filed a lawsuit against Tata & Sons in the Delhi High Court alleging that the Turtle vs TATA "Green Turtle vs Tata" website had a reputation for defaming Tata and interfering in its trademark.

It's a fight between 3Gs of Congress and BJP: Amit Shah

DHANBAD: BJP president Amit Shah Wednesday claimed that this Lok Sabha election is a fight between '3 Gs' of the Congress represented by the Gandhi family and those of the saffron party exemplified by gaon, goumata and the Ganga. Claiming that there is a wave in favour of the prime minister across the country, Shah also sought to compare between a 'workaholic' Narendra Modi and a 'vacation loving' Congress chief Rahul Gandhi. He also alleged that the opposition parties are not interested in the security of the country for the sake of votebank politics. Both the Congress and the BJP have three Gs, he said. "For the Congress, 3G stands for Sonia (Gandhi), Rahul (Gandhi) and Priyanka (Gandhi). The BJP's 3G are gaon (villages), goumata (cow) and the Ganga," Shah said and asked the people to choose the correct 3G. He said he has visited for poll campaigns almost all the states where people have different tastes and culture, but "what is common everywhere is the chant in favour of Modi". "On the one hand, you have Modi who did not take a single leave in 20 years. On the other, you have Rahul Gandhi who goes on long vacations to places, leaving his mother worried about his whereabouts," he said in rallies in Dhanbad and Jamshedpur. Shah claimed that Gandhi goes on vacations as soon as the temperature starts soaring during summer. "This (opposition) alliance had kept the country's security at stake for their vote bank. For us vote bank is not important. Elections will come and go, but security of the country is the top most priority for us," he said. Bullets of terrorists will be responded with bombs, Shah saidBJP. "What the Modi-led government did for the welfare of the poor in five years, the Congress could not achieve it in 55 years," he claimed. Describinbg infiltrators as termites, the BJP leader said while the implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) will drive out intruders, the Congress seeks to raise the issue of human rights. The BJP president said, "I would like to ask them when innocent jawans were killed and their families suffered, where was their concern?" "From Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Kolkata to Kuch, we will identify infiltrators and throw them out of country, the BJP president leader said. At the time of terror strikes and beheading of Indian soldiers during the 10-year rule of the Congress-led UPA, the then prime minister Manmohan Singh did not say anything, he alleged. "But after the massacre of 40 of our jawans at Pulwama by Pakistani terrorists, our Air Force struck terror camps in Balakot at a time when Pakistan amassed soldiers and tanks on the border," he said. Criticizing Gandhi and JMM working president Hemant Soren for their support to Omar Abdullah, Shah said the National Conference leader had spoken about a separate prime minister for Kashmir. "Should there be two prime ministers in one country?" Shah asked and the crowd roared back: "No". "Article 370 will be scrapped. Modi will definitely come to power again. but in case the BJP is not in power, every BJP worker will see to it that Kashmir remains an integral part of the country," Shah said. The Congress promised abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution in its poll manifesto. The Article grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir and limits Parliament's power to make laws concerning the state. Talking about the NDA dispensation's development initiatives in Jharkhand, the BJP boss said it opened medical colleges in Hazaribag and Dumka, set up a cancer hospital in Ranchi and launched a 4000MW power plant at Patratu. "In the 13th Finance Commission, the UPA government had allotted Rs 55,253 crore for Jharkhand. The Modi government has given over 3 lakh crore to the state in five years," he added. Shah said that Modi opened Sindri Fertilizer Factory in Sindri, converted India School of Mines to an IIT and gave Binod Bihari Mahto Koyalanchal University in Dhanbad. Read the full article

How to Write Like a Bureaucrat

Want to write with the maximum vague, difficult and unintelligible textual content you can come up with? Don’t worry, you do not want to be a legal professional, finance executive or in authorities to do it. Just observe the recommendations underneath and you’ll be properly in your way.

Don’t be polite. There’s nothing well mannered with the bureaucratic tone. Have you ever examine a contract that became well mannered? No. Exert your role of authority always and drop the pleasantries out of your vocabulary. Be direct when you’re rejecting a request. Say no with out an impunity. No one desires to understand your motives. If you offer them, they may mistake for diplomacy and take advantage of you. Just say no and be completely free of any clarification. Don’t suppose. No one wishes purpose in writing. Instead, appearance to coverage and precedence. Why compose a justification while you may really quote from the rulebook? Explanations are a sign of the weak spot. Never provide an explanation for. Just say what you want, no matter whether your reader is familiar with the motive in the back of it. Use passive verbs. They sound extra formal. Be aloof and remote. Never personalize a chunk of writing by the use of personal pronouns. Say phrases like “the company” or “the board of directors,” in no way “we.” When required to explain, start by way of attempting to provide an explanation for, then go off in tangents after the second one sentence. Why? Because explanations are a signal of the weak point. Also, use your grammar corrector to pick out more complex phrases than the ones you’ve got. The more obfuscated and unfamiliar, the better. Good good fortune.

Shattered Illusion

Dear Aunt,

You were born in Gangapur, Bihar, the fifth child in a schedule caste family. You had three elder brothers and an elder sister. Your don't recall your father, he died of tuberculosis shortly after you were born. Your mother was the sole breadwinner, earning daily wages through labor in construction sites. Your brothers squandered their lives and times smoking marijuana and playing cards. Your sister was married off at a barely legal age.

In a place where getting children to go to school was an ordeal, you were the first person in a long time to clear secondary and high school examinations. I have heard mom tell stories of you studying under the street light, just like Ambedkar. You got admitted into a science college and completed your B.Sc Physics. You then found a job at the motor company in Samastipur and became one of the first literate wage earners in our village.

When you had some work experience in the motor company, you felt the need to study further. So you applied and got admitted to an M.Sc Nuclear Physics program in Calcutta, West Bengal. I vaguely recall our family's excitement when we had come to see you off at the Samastipur station. You were the first person from the village who was going to do a master's degree. You were going to be alone by yourself in a different state, hundreds of kilometers away from us. I didn't realize then what a momentous yet scary occasion it was for our family. I recall mom asking me to study and become like you.

One of my fondest memories from childhood is at the Samastipur railway station. While we waited for the train to Calcutta to arrive, you would play Snake and Ladders and Ludo with me. I was so happy once when the train was 12 hours late. You asked me to study English well, you said it was important. You bought me English comic books from the bookstore in the Samastipur station. I was hooked. There was nothing I looked forward to more than being at the railway station, first to receive you and then to send you off just so I could read English comics and play games with you.

I recall the orange pen-pencil with the metal clip that you gifted me when you visited us one vacation. I was in the fourth standard then. All I wanted to do was write until the lead was exhausted. And so I came back from school and started writing, though I don't think I learned anything from the process. I finished half the pencil leads you had given in two days. When the pen-pencil was stolen the next day, I was shattered. Not for the beating that mom would give, but because I loved the pen-pencil, especially because it came from you.

After your post-graduation, you went on to do your Ph.D. By then you had become a legend in our village. Later, you found a job with the department of atomic energy in the role of a junior scientist. That was the first time I heard the word 'scientist'. Science became my favorite subject and I started paying more attention to it in school. I remember you talk to me about rockets and satellites launched by India. I was blown away by the idea of going to the moon and distant stars. Any time after that, whenever I was asked what I wanted to become in life, there was only once answer. For the first time, I became consciously aware of the importance of studying. I wanted to study well and grow up to be like you, a scientist.

When they diagnosed the defective valve in your heart, I was shattered along with the rest of our family. I recall borrowing a biology book from my senior and reading about the anatomy of the heart. I didn't understand much. The doctors were going to perform a surgery to save you. The whole family left for Calcutta together for the first time for your surgery. I was excited and sad at the same time. Sad because I was afraid you might die on the operating table. Excited because I was going to a city I had always heard about but never visited. It was my first time traveling beyond Samastipur. Thankfully, the surgery went well. You came out healthy. You went back to work, became a scientist and then a senior scientist. You were a tour de force.

Then you got married. Your husband was a scientist too. You were my favorite couple. I wanted to live with you. You told me to study well and you promised to take me to Calcutta if I did well in my secondary school exams. So I studied hard and tried to follow in your footsteps. I topped my class in every exam. Mom was proud of me. You said you were too.

You then visited us on a long break. You had a baby boy, my first brother. He was so adorable. I took care of him like he was my own child. I looked forward to waking up in the morning just to cuddle with him while he was sleeping. I looked forward to playing with him when I got back from school. He was going to be my best friend. Then one day, you both were back in Calcutta and life became less than ordinary.

Eventually, all my uncles got married, and they all had their sons. But your son held a special place for me. Years flew past quickly. I never came to Calcutta for an education. Instead, I ended up in Jamshedpur for my high school. I stayed in the school hostel. I still wanted to become a scientist.

And then I heard you were a mother again. This time you had a daughter. I came to visit you during my vacation. Your daughter was the most beautiful thing I had ever laid my eyes on. One day, I hoped I would also have a daughter like yours. She was so cute, I wanted to steal her for myself and take her back to Jamshedpur. Silly me. I was very happy. She was my first sister, the first daughter of the generation in our family. She was going to be like her mother and make us all proud. I couldn't wait to see what life had in store for her. I didn't want to go back to Jamshedpur at the end of the vacation.

Life went by quickly. I completed my high school and went on to do my engineering, again in Jamshedpur. Another vacation I visited you in Calcutta, you had arranged an internship for me in your office. You were writing C++ code that operated medical imaging instruments. I finally got to see you at your best. I had so much to learn from you. Meanwhile, at home, your daughter and I were forming a special bond. She doted on me. She was young and she was already wise beyond her years. I saw you in her. When the internship ended, once again, I didn't want to go back to Jamshedpur.

Unlike you, my achievements were nothing to write home about. I had much more to do. After graduation, I got a job in IT in Bangalore, Karnataka. I couldn't become a scientist. But I loved computers, so no regret there. Mom wasn't too happy about me going that far and working. It was hard for me to convince her but I did. She couldn't believe the salary I was being offered. As long as I wrote to her often and visited her every six months, she was happy.

You continued to scale greater heights. You went on to become a chief scientist, divisional manager and finally the managing director. You reached the pinnacle of your career. I would talk proudly to my friends and colleagues about my scientist aunt. They too were impressed with your story. No one I knew had met a scientist in real life.

Years went by and I got busy at work. I enjoyed every moment of it. I loved solving problems using computers. I was being paid well. I got to travel a lot as a part of my job, so I went to the US, Europe, and Japan. Here I met different kinds of people and got exposure to different cultures. I fell in love with travel. I made it a point to travel every year for at least a month. My manager was a very agreeable person. So long as I met my deliverables, he was happy to let me take a month off every year. One time, I spent an entire month backpacking Rajasthan, Punjab, and Kashmir. Another month I split between Ladakh and Andaman. Another year, I took an unpaid vacation with paid leaves altogether for three months and backpacked seven countries in South East Asia. I was now experiencing a life more than ordinary, one conceived improbable for someone from Gangapur.

Meanwhile, I had graduated from comic books to fiction and non-fiction. I read biographies of historical figures, scientists, musicians and social activists. I read about social issues and dystopian societies. I read philosophy and religion. I read world history and Indian history. I even got back into comic books. They call it graphic novels these days. When I wasn't traveling the world, I was living vicariously through books. I read for that exhilarating feeling of magically being transported to another place and time, into the shoes of someone I would never be, to earn an experience I could never feel otherwise. Reading exposed me to the realities of the world we live in. I traveled the world through books. It was a replacement for real experiences, yet it drove me to travel more and seek new adventures. I was quenching my thirst for knowledge.

Through travel and books, I became more aware. I learned about women's rights and LGBT rights. I thought we were poor, then I got to know about Sudan. I learned about environmental exploitation and destruction, yet I found beauty in this world. I learned of oligarchies, dictatorships, and failed political constructs, but I also learned about panchayats and grass root development. I joined anti-corruption and cleanliness campaigns wherever I could. I wanted to deeply connect with this world. I wanted to make a difference.

From you, I learned the importance of education. From education, I learned about protecting humanity and the world we live in. I managed to gather moss from the stone that you had set rolling.

Then you changed.

When you shifted your daughter to a convent, you told me it was because you wanted her to have a better education. She said she hated the idea of losing all her friends from school.

A few years later, when she created a second Facebook account and sent me a friend request, I asked her why. She said she wanted a platform where she could express herself freely and wouldn't be judged by you. She said you were going through her Facebook Friends List and asking about every boy in it.

Once when she visited me on a vacation, I took her out shopping. She only bought slightly less than knee-length skirts and shorts. She said you would never buy such clothes for her, nor permit her to wear them. She asked me not to tell you. She would stock them at her friend's house so she could wear them when going out, without your oversight.

Meanwhile, your son completed his high school and wanted to do automobile engineering. He relocated to Delhi for this. You bought him a bike and supported his stay in a rented house with his classmates. You asked him to prepare for his GRE so he could do his masters in the US.

By now you had become the go-to person for advice for everyone in the village. When one of my distant cousins was about to complete her engineering with top honors, you advised her mother to get her married. You even selected a Bihari boy from the same caste for her to be married to. While she was waiting for her final results, she was fighting with her parents to be left alone so she could make a career. She hated you for it.

Two years later, when you daughter completed her high school, she wanted to study fashion design in Bombay. You were dead set against it. You didn't permit her to leave Calcutta. Your reason was the increasing prevalence of rape in society.

She called me yesterday. She cried to me about her fate.

Once a symbol of woman's emancipation, you are now the symbol of your daughter's oppression. I feel like I don't know you anymore. What have you become, a metaphor for the difference between literacy and education?

Sincerely,

your once loving nephew
