The India Saga Saga |

The violent state of Manipur on Sunday replaced Rajesh Kumar, who had been serving a six-month extension since last December, with Vineet Joshi, an IAS officer from the 1992-batch state cadre.

 

A day after the Appointments Committee of the Union Cabinet granted the Manipur government’s proposal to repatriate Joshi to his parent cadre, Joshi, who was working as Director General of the National Testing Agency (NTA) under the Ministry of Education, arrived in Imphal on a special flight on Sunday. 

 

Joshi will hold the additional positions of Principal Resident Commissioner of Manipur Bhawan in New Delhi and Chief Vigilance Commissioner of Manipur, according to the chief secretary’s appointment order.

 

In March 2017, Joshi worked in Manipur for Chief Minister N Biren Singh as his principal secretary. After being named DG of the NTA, which oversees the administration of admission exams including the CUET, JEE Main, and NEET, he was sent to Delhi a year later.

 

Joshi was regarded as an officer with many duties at Shastri Bhavan because he was a second secretary in the Education Ministry. He was in charge of the central universities in addition to the NTA, actively involved in shaping the proposed Higher Education Commission of India, and for a brief period, the interim chairperson of the CBSE. 

 

The NTA, under the direction of Joshi, hosted the initial iterations of the CUET undergraduate and postgraduate. Joshi is well-known for his composed demeanor and is a native speaker of the Manipuri language. He frequently observed conversing with visitors from Manipur in their language at his workplace, having learned it during his prior stays in the state.

 

According to a then-released official statement, in April 2018 at a farewell ceremony for Joshi, who was leaving for Delhi to assume the position of DG, NTA, the Manipur Chief Minister praised him as a “dedicated, hardworking and bright officer whose absence would leave a void in the state’s administrative set-up”.

 

According to the report, the chief minister also expressed the hope that Joshi will stay in touch with the state administration and occasionally give his thoughts and views in integral matters.

 

Joshi, who graduated from IIT-Kanpur with a B.Tech in mechanical engineering and then earned a Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, started his career as a deputy secretary in the Department of Youth Affairs and Sports in Manipur.

PM Modi slams Congress, said its history is about ‘encouraging terrorism and terror’

The India Saga Saga |

On May 2nd, 2023, Tuesday, Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India alleged that Congress’ history is about “appeasing terror and terrorism,” and the party had questioned the defence forces of the country, at the time when the air strikes and surgical strikes were carried out. The Prime Minister said that unlike Congress which had left Karnataka ‘at the mercy of terrorists’ the ruling BJP has ‘broken the back’ of terror and appeasement. 

 

The Prime Minister was addressing an election campaign rally in Chitradurga ahead of the upcoming elections on May 10th. Also accusing the Congress for encouraging terrorism and terror, Narendra Modi said they can never increase investments in Karnataka as well as can not create new opportunities for the youth in the state. “Karnataka’s people should never forget the Congress’ continuous history of terrorism as well as their thought process behind that. Their history is about appeasing terror and terrorists. When the Batla House incident happened in Delhi, there were tears in the eyes of Congress’ topmost leader, hearing about the news of the death of the terrorists,” PM Modi mentioned.  

 

He further added that when the air strikes and surgical strikes took place in India, it was Congress who raised the questions on the capability of the defence forces of the country. In the 2008 Batla House encounter in which two terrorists were gunned down by the police in their rental address in Jamia Nagar, the Prime Minister bashed Sonia Gandhi, the Congress chief and said that she had ‘tears in her eyes’ after hearing the tragic death of the terrorists.   

 

Congress party has lost its faith and warranty, PM Modi quoting that Congress election guarantee without warranty is nothing but lies only. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister tried his hand at playing a traditional drum. The Bharatiya Janata Party election manifesto has a roadmap to make Karnataka the number one state of the country.
