#Priyanka Gandhi Bag

[votermood]

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra faced criticism from the BJP for using tote bags supporting Palestine and minorities in Bangladesh, labeling it as appeasement. She dismissed the criticism as "typical patriarchy."

Priyanka Gandhi used a pro-Palestine bag in the Parliament on 2 December before showing up with another extending solidarity to the minorities of Bangladesh on 3 December

Congress-ruled states compete to offer Priyanka Gandhi RS seat - india news

Congress-ruled states compete to offer Priyanka Gandhi RS seat - india news

Rajasthan is the latest Congress-ruled state to have offered to send party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra to the Rajya Sabha. Party’s Rajasthan in-charge Avinash Pande said on Wednesday that all leaders and workers in the state wish that Priyanka Gandhi is nominated for one of the two Rajya Sabha seats that Congress is likely to bag in Rajasthan in April this year.

Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh are the other two states said to be interested in nominating Priyanka to the upper house of the parliament.

“Priyanka Ji (Priyanka Gandhi Vadra) is a well-accepted leader in the party, Rajasthan is one of the states which is in a position to send two people to Rajya Sabha. All workers and leaders of party wish to send her to Rajya Sabha,” Pande told ANI.

Pande, however, added that the issue had not been discussed in the party yet. He added another caveat by saying that naming a Rajya Sabha candidate was the prerogative of the Congress president.

“Every Congress worker desires that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra should be a Rajya Sabha member. She is an undisputed leader of the party and any state would want to recommend her name for nomination to the upper house,” PTI quoted Pande as saying.

In Madhya Pradesh, minister Sajjan Singh Verma has already suggested that she be fielded from one of the three RS seats the party is likely to gain from the state.

Talk of Priyanka Gandhi’s possible nomination to the Rajya Sabha has been rife but Congress has called it speculative and refused to say more on the subject.

“We do not answer speculative questions,” Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala was quoted as saying by PTI.

Priyanka Gandhi formally entered politics as Congress party’s in-charge for eastern Uttar Pradesh just before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

She has been party’s leading voice opposing BJP’s Yogi Adityanath government in the Uttar Pradesh since then and has often been described as an “aggressive” by political observers.

51 seats are falling vacant in Rajya Sabha in April and the Congress is likely to corner at least nine seats from party-ruled states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Maharashtra.

The Upper Hand

The Upper Hand

The state Rajya Sabha byelections could see a nervy contest for the third sea.

Hectic lobbying has begun for nominations to the three upcoming vacancies in the Rajya Sabha (RS) from Madhya Pradesh in April. Given their current numbers in the Vidhan Sabha, both the ruling Congress and the BJP will win one seat each. The third seat is likely to see a contest. The Congress has a better chance of bagging it, but the BJP under Amit Shah has made it a norm to not give up in close contests.

Currently, of the 11 RS seats from the state, the BJP has eight and the Congress three. Each candidate needs 58 votes to win a seat. At present, the Congress has 114 MLAs, the BJP 107, the SP one, the BSP two while four seats are with Independents. For the third seat, the Congress needs two more votes, which it expects will come from the ranks of the Independents, BSP and SP legislators that support the Kamal Nath government. The BJP needs nine more votes than the 107 it has to win the third seat. Party sources say a second candidate will be fielded, in the hope that infighting in the Congress will lead to cross-voting in its favour.

The names of Congr­ess probables include Digvij­aya Singh (renominated), Jyotiraditya Scindia and a few other biggies. There is even a demand to give general secretary Priyanka Gandhi a nomina­t­ion from MP. In all likelihood, though, Scindia will be the second candidate to ensure that his flock of upset MLAs they have been demanding the PCC chief’s post for him stay with the party.

As for the BJP candi­d­ates, the sure seat is likely to go to general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya or ex-minister J.S. Pawaiya. For the third seat, state BJP spokesperson Rahul Kothari says they are confident of securing adequate numbers given that other parties and Independents may decide to support our candidates, suggesting that this April, cross-voting is a real possibility.

‘Single-use’ plastic free zone in more than half of India’s Airports

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Tuesday (September 3) declared 20 more airports as ‘single-use’ plastic free zone taking the total number to 55 airports, according to the Hindustan times.

With that more than half of India’s airports have become single-use plastic free zone as there are about 100 operational airports in the country, an AAI official said.

Six private airports are also working towards eliminating use of plastic and are expected to achieve it by the end of this year.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his 2019 Independence Day speech urged citizens to avoid using plastic bags and rid themselves of the habit of using ‘single-use’ plastic bags by October 2 this year.

“Proactively acting on the PM’s clarion call and as per the directions issued by the ministry of environment, forest and climate change to beat plastic pollution, 35 AAI Airports had been declared ‘single-use’ plastic free airport terminals in Phase I,” said a spokesperson for AAI.

Subsequently, 20 more airports were declared ‘single-use’ plastic free, he added.

Airports in Agartala, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Bhopal, Goa, Guwahati, Jammu, Lucknow, Vadodara, Varanasi and Visakhapatnam were declared plastic free zone in Phase 1.

In the second phase, Allahabad, Aurangabad, Gaya, Gorakhpur, Jodhpur, Khajuraho, Leh, Silchar, Surat and Tuticorin were declared plastic free airports among others.

The AAI has undertaken various measures to eliminate the single-use plastic items at passenger terminals including banning of single-use plastic items like straws, plastic cutlery and plastic plates.

AAI is also enhancing its waste management systems and is promoting the use of eco-friendly sustainable alternatives like use of biodegradable garbage bags in bins and installation of plastic bottle crushing machine at airports.

National carrier Air India has also imposed a ban on ‘single-use’ plastic products like bags, cups and straws on all its flights from October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport too has decided to do away with plastic usage by the end of 2019. Delhi airport has started the process of not using plastic as grocery bags, food packaging, bottles, straws, containers, cups and cutlery. The Bengaluru International Airport is also targeting the same.

Single-use plastics, often referred to as disposable plastics, are commonly used in packaging and include items intended to be used only once before they are thrown away or recycled.

Private airlines like Vistara and IndiGo have also taken initiatives to reduce the use of plastic.

Aparajita Sarangi gifts ‘1984’ Sikh-riot bag to Priyanka Gandhi in Parliament

Can India’s political prince unseat the PM?

Image caption Rahul Gandhi (centre) received a tumultuous welcome during his road show in Amethi

India’s main opposition leader Rahul Gandhi was all but written off after his crushing defeat in the last elections. But he has energised a struggling Congress party and increasingly set the agenda with a combative campaign. The BBC’s Geeta Pandey visits his constituency to assess whether he can unseat the prime minister this time.

The main roads in the small town of Amethi were choked with supporters when Rahul Gandhi turned up to file his nomination papers last week.

Mr Gandhi – smiling and waving on an open truck, accompanied by his sister Priyanka – was greeted all along the 3km route to the district collector’s office by party workers. Many waved flags, others carried their photographs and town residents showered them with rose petals.

A man in a horse costume danced to drum beats, a brass band played welcoming tunes and groups of supporters ran alongside the convoy shouting slogans in his support.

“Mr Modi’s days are numbered,” says Mustaqim Ahmed, who has travelled 125km (78 miles) from his village with his 12-year-old son to see the Congress chief.

Anokhelal Tiwari, a resident of Amethi, adds: “Wait and see, once the votes are counted on 23 May, Mr Modi will known as the ex-prime minister of India. The Congress will form the next government and ‘Rahul bhaiya [brother]’ will become the prime minister.”

Image caption Mustaqim Ahmed (left) and Anokhelal Tiwari (second from left) are loyal Congress party supporters

It’s a dream Mr Gandhi’s supporters in Amethi have had for a long time. In fact, ever since he made his political debut 15 years ago.

The 48-year-old is a three-term MP from this town in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. He is now seeking a fourth term. This time though, he’s also standing in Wayanad in the southern state of Kerala – leading to the BJP alleging he’s scared of losing Amethi to their candidate Smriti Irani, who put up a tough fight in 2014. Congress leaders have defended the move, saying it will help widen their base in the south.

I followed Mr Gandhi’s campaigns closely in 2004, 2009 and 2014 – and each time I was told by supporters they were electing the PM, not an MP. That sentiment is now being echoed in Wayanad too, says my BBC Hindi colleague Imran Qureshi, who’s covering the election there.

India votes 2019

Media captionIndia’s elections: Why you should care

That’s because Rahul Gandhi has the right pedigree: he is the scion of India’s political royalty.

His great-grandfather, Jawaharlal Nehru, was the first prime minister of independent India, his grandmother and father also served as prime ministers, while his mother, Italian-born Sonia Gandhi, was the Congress chief until poor health forced her to hand over the reins to her son 16 months ago.

Even before that, there never was any doubt that he was being groomed for the top job. In 2013, he was elevated to the second most senior position in the party and campaigned extensively in the 2014 general election.

Image caption Young men played drums to welcome Mr Gandhi to Amethi

So when Congress suffered its most humiliating defeat that year, winning just 44 seats in the 545-member parliament, his political career hit rock bottom.

For a while after that, nothing seemed to be going right for him or the Congress.

The party faced electoral setbacks in several state elections; he was seen as “remote and inaccessible” and critics and rivals ridiculed him on social media as a bumbling, clueless leader prone to gaffes. Narendra Modi, who comes from a humble background, repeatedly criticised him for rising to the top not on merit, but because of belonging to the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty.

But then things began to change: Mr Gandhi started to emerge from the shadows, his social media campaigns became smarter and he began arguing convincingly about the government’s controversial currency ban, a lack of employment opportunities, growing intolerance in the country and the slowdown in the economy.

And now, as he traverses the length and breadth of the country, addressing up to five rallies daily, his campaign is beginning to get some traction.

Senior journalist Aarthi Ramachandran, author of a 2012 book on Mr Gandhi, says he’s displayed leadership potential on the campaign trail by consistently taking a stand against Mr Modi, demanding answers from the government on alleged corruption in the Rafale fighter jet deal and arguing forcefully that the currency ban hit people’s lives hard.

“The political acumen he’s displaying now was largely absent from his politics earlier,” she says, adding that his ability to speak too is “vastly improved”.

“He does these meetings in colleges and universities with young people, he tells them, ‘ask me whatever you want’. He connects very well with them. In the parliament too, rather than reading out prepared speeches, he speaks extempore, with confidence.

“He’s come into his own, worked hard over a period of time on acquiring skills.”

Image caption The Congress party has promised to give cash handouts to 50 million poor families if elected to power

In recent weeks, there’s also been a lot of chatter about the party’s minimum income guarantee scheme that promises to give cash handouts to 50 million poor families if the Congress is elected to power. One analyst described it as a “perfect disrupter” which could help the party improve their election tally.

It was certainly well-timed – the scheme was announced just as pollsters began suggesting that India’s air strikes in Pakistan may help the BJP to victory. The announcement brought the conversation back to poverty and lack of jobs and made the BJP fairly uncomfortable.

But it’s not going to be a game-changer in 2019, says Prof Sanjay Kumar of research organisation CSDS (Centre for the Study of Developing Societies).

Why does PM Modi follow trolls on Twitter?

“It’s come a bit too late. Also, the party doesn’t have the communication skills or the resources to take it to the people.”

The Congress party, Prof Kumar says, faces multiple disadvantages.

“Their leaders don’t have the language skills, they are carrying huge baggage because many in the majority community believe that Congress follows the policy of minority appeasement and when they question the government’s honesty and accuse it of corruption, not many are ready to buy that because the Congress have had so many corruption allegations against them in the past.”

Image caption Many of Mr Gandhi’s supporters in Amethi believe that they are electing the PM, not an MP

The biggest disadvantage though, he says, is that it’s not just their support base that’s eroded – they also lack the party workers required during an election.

“So I won’t put my money on the Congress now,” he says. “But that doesn’t mean that there is no future for the Congress. Losing one or two elections doesn’t mean a party has no future. Remember the 1984 elections when the BJP was reduced to two seats? And it bounced back to 282 in the last election.”

Several Congress leaders, too, have hinted that 2019 is really not a “do-or-die” battle for the party and that 2024 is perhaps a much more realistic goal.

In 2004, just as Mr Gandhi had embarked on his political career, I caught up with him during his campaign in Amethi and asked him to assess his chances.

“You win some, you lose some. Maybe I’ll win this, maybe I won’t,” he’d said.

I then asked him what he would do if he lost.

“Just because you lose one battle doesn’t mean you turn around and close shop and say, ‘I can’t do anything.’ If I lose the election, would I say let’s pack our bags and go home? No, no, no.”

So in his own words, he’s in it for the long haul. Don’t write him off yet.

India Today-Axis Opinion Poll: Captain Amarinder Singh likely to lift Punjab trophy

Captain Amarinder Singh seems set to assume the mantle of the chief minister of Punjab once again. The latest opinion poll by Axis My India for India Today TV suggests that the Grand Old Party may end up very close to the majority mark in next month's elections.

READ: Captain Amarinder wants more star power, invites Priyanka Gandhi to campaign in Punjab

The survey projects that the Congress could bag between 56 and 62 seats in the 117-seat state assembly. If this opinion poll result holds on counting day then it will come as great relief for the beleaguered party that has lost state after state since a humiliating defeat in the 2014 parliamentary elections. Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party is projected to finish second with a tally in the range of 36-41. The opinion poll suggests that the tally the ruling Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP combine could crash to around 18-22 seats.

The previous opinion poll for Punjab had been put out by Axis My India in October. When the results of the two surveys are compared, it emerges that the Congress' campaign in the state has been gaining momentum. The party's expected tally has gone up by seven seats over the past three months. On the other hand, AAP's campaign, which had peaked at the beginning of 2016, has been on the wane. The party is projected to have lost six seats in the past three months. AAP was hit by a series of local-level controversies and high-profile exits and the party does not seem to have recovered fully from those blows.

Poll race

"People in Punjab aren't going to cast their votes for cyclical replacement, said AAP's national spokesperson Ashish Khetan. "People want systematic change. They want a party which is new, which is fresh."

READ: Ahead of Punjab polls, SIT to reopen 286 anti-Sikh riot cases

Akalis recover to some extent

The Akalis were down and out in October, but they seem to have recovered to some extent. The SAD-BJP vote share in December (24 per cent) is 2 per cent more than the alliance's projected vote share in October.

"I think Akalis are going to go even further down. And this survey has been done before the election process started," said Partap Singh Bajwa, Rajya Sabha MP and former Punjab Congress chief. "Once you have this survey, you see that the Congress is going up and the Akalis are going down."

Captain is top choice to be state's next chief minister

Congress' Amarinder Singh is by far the top choice to be the state's next chief minister with 34 per cent of the respondents indicating that he's their preferred pick. The incumbent, Parkash Singh Badal, comes in second with 22 per cent support. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, who has not indicated whether he is willing to move to Chandigarh, comes in third in the popularity sweepstakes, with 16 per cent support.

Drugs still a major problem in Punjab

READ: Narendra Modi to assess performance of ministries ahead of polls

Despite the loud protestations of deputy chief minister Sukhbir Badal and others in the Akali leadership, 70 per cent of the respondents in the survey felt that drugs were a major problem in Punjab. Roughly the same number of respondents (69 per cent) blame politicians of the ruling Akali-BJP government for the menace. However, when asked which issue would determine their voting preference, the majority of respondents put employment (41 per cent) and development (33 per cent) well ahead of drug control (8 per cent).

SAD unhappy with opinion poll results

SAD was, understandably, not happy with the opinion poll results. "I think there is something fundamentally wrong with your survey," said Jangveer Singh, Sukhbir Badal's media advisor. "I don't know what kind of questions you asked and how you came up with this kind of result."

Punjab inconvenienced by demonetisation

Respondents in Punjab seemed more inconvenienced by demonetisation than voters in Uttar Pradesh. In UP, 58 per cent of the respondents said they were facing problems because of the PM's move. In comparison, a whopping 82 per cent of the respondents in Punjab said they were facing problems because of note ban. Despite the problems that are being faced, 72 per cent of the respondents said they supported demonetisation.

Axis My India survey criteria

READ: India Today-Axis My India opinion poll: Punjab poll big takeaways

The opinion poll was done using the face-to-face interview method from December 12-22. A team of 26 surveyors did the poll with a sample size of 3,081 respondents.

The data for age-wise vote share in the survey make for interesting reading. Among all age categories, the Aam Aadmi Party's popularity is highest among youngsters with 32 per cent of the youth backing it. This is 3 per cent more than the party's overall vote share of 29 per cent. Despite not having a prominent Sikh face, AAP seems to have penetrated the upper caste Sikh vote bank as well. 30 per cent of the upper caste Sikhs said they would vote for Kejriwal's party. This is the same as the number of upper caste Sikhs who said they would vote for the Congress. The Congress's popularity seems highest among upper caste Hindus and Hindu OBCs. Despite its image as a saviour of the Sikh faith, the Akalis have lost favour with upper caste, OBC and SC Sikhs.

While the general impression around AAP is that Kejriwal's party is an urban phenomenon with limited appeal in the villages, the opinion poll suggests that the party's popularity is actually higher in rural areas than it is in urban pockets. The Congress' popularity peaks in urban areas while the Akalis fairly poorly both in the cities and the backwoods.

Axis My India will put out its final opinion poll for Punjab in the last week of January, just ahead of the crucial elections scheduled for February 4 with the results to be announced on March 11.

Cong’s Digvijaya, JDU’s Harivansh, BJP’s former SC Morcha Chief get Rajya Sabha tickets

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/congs-digvijaya-jdus-harivansh-bjps-former-sc-morcha-chief-get-rajya-sabha-tickets/

Cong’s Digvijaya, JDU’s Harivansh, BJP’s former SC Morcha Chief get Rajya Sabha tickets

New Delhi |Mumbai: With the deadline for filing nominations to Rajya Sabha ending on Friday, several parties have declared their candidates.

BJP declared its second list of Rajya Sabha candidates, comprising five names, on Thursday. It fielded its former Scheduled Caste Morcha chief Dushyant Gautam from Haryana while RSS worker Sumer Singh Solanki pipped other contenders from Madhya Pradesh for a seat in the Upper House. Ramchandra Jhangra, an OBC leader from BJP, was also given the ticket from Haryana. The party fielded its former Himachal Pradesh Mahila Morcha chief Indu Goswami for the lone Rajya Sabha seat from the state. Bhagwat Karad, a former mayor of Aurangabad, was nominated by BJP from Maharashtra.

Meanwhile, Congress fielded Digvijaya Singh and Phool Singh Baraiya from Madhya Pradesh while party leader Rahul Gandhi’s handpicked general secretary (org) K C Venugopal was named from Rajasthan. Neeraj Dangi got the second Congress’ ticket from Rajasthan. From Gujarat, the party named Shaktisinh Gohil and Bharat Solanki. Rajeev Satav was nominated from Maharashtra. The Congress seat from Haryana went to former CM B S Hooda’s son Deepender Hooda after the senior Hooda blocked the renomination of Kumari Selja and efforts of Randeep Surjewala to bag the seat. The Congress list thus ended without Priyanka Gandhi being named for Rajya Sabha. Congress named KTS Tulsi and Phulo Devi Netam from Chhattisgarh, Shahzada Anwar from Jharkhand and Kennedy C Khyriem from Meghalaya. JDU announced the names of Harivansh and Ram Nath Thakur from Bihar. Both are outgoing members of the Upper House. Thakur is considered JDU’s MBC face in the state. The Congress list thus ended the talk of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra entering the Rajya Sabha, for now.

RJD fielded Prem Chand Gupta, a close aide of RJD chief Lalu Prasad and Amarendra Dhari Singh, Patna-based entrepreneur, for the two of the five Rajya Sabha seats that will go to poll. Shiv Sena nominated Priyanka Chaturvedi from Maharashtra. Although the last date to file nominations is Friday, candidates for only six of the seven seats in the state have been finalised. There is no clarity on who will be nominated for the lone seat.

The NCP, which has already filed a nomination for party chief Sharad Pawar, wants to send one more party leader to the Rajya Sabha.
