Rahul Gandhi emerging as a Serious Politician with Bharat Jodo Yatra but will Congress gain from it Politically?

The India Saga Saga |

The mega Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi has reached its Punjab leg where RaGa was joined by Sidhu Moose Wala’s father. The Yatra will conclude at Jammu and Kashmir’s Srinagar on January 30th.

 

If you follow Politics or a student of Political Science, then you might agree with the fact that Rahul Gandhi and Congress Party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra is gaining huge tractions across India. It might be a matter of debate whether the Yatra is getting appropriate amount of media coverages from Noida-based media houses or not, however, the fact remains that Rahul has been successful in shedding his image as an ‘Occasional Politician’ and projecting himself as a ‘Leader of the Poors and Masses’. 

 

Rahul is no longer the Congress President and is free from the burden of a sort of Political Accountability which is why he has been successful in creating a new image, if not for the grand old party, definitely for himself. The long nationwide foot padyatra has in true sense transformed Rahul’s image and has sent a positive signal to the Political Pundits who used to weigh him on a lighter note. 

 

Rahul, during this 3750 Km Yatra was seen walking the streets of several cities & towns covering a plethora of states with key like-minded people and key figures from Civil Societies. These people included Rashmi Desai, Swara Bhaskar, Kamal Hassan and several Army Veterans as well. The latest to this includes Balkaur Singh, the father of late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala who walked the streets of Jalandhar in Punjab with RaGa.

 

The Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) despite its reluctance to accept the fact that they are keenly watching Gandhi’s move, the trolling by BJP IT Cell and like-minded Right-Wing handles goes on to prove the fact they are taking this Bharat Jodo Yatra seriously. As per sources, the BJP is also working on strategies to prove that this Yatra was an utter failure and has no connection with the masses. Rahul is gaining momentum across India with the Yatra and could be a danger or an alternative to Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the sense among the Journalists in the Corridors of Power in New Delhi.

 

However, despite Rahul Gandhi transforming his image as a Politician of Masses, the question remains that Will Congress be able to milk this Bharat Jodo Yatra and benefit in the upcoming Legislative Assembly Elections. Yes, India will be witnessing Elections in 10 States this year. These states include Tripura, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Rajasthan, Telangana and likely Jammu and Kashmir. The question is valid in every sense as the Yatra was planned by the Grand Old Party to bring together like-minded people and to give a boost to its party cadres and workers and to a certain extent, they have been successful. Now, it is for time to tell whether this gets translated into votes or not.

 

The Congress, as of now, is on a sticky note in states like Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland as the Saffron Party currently have their Governments in these states, in some-on their own, in others- with their allies. However, the Congress has a good chance in Karnataka where there is a massive anti-incumbency against the Bommai-led BJP Government. Karnataka has always been a strong Congress bastion but the high command in New Delhi needs to stop the infighting between DK Shivakumar (KPCC Chief) and Siddaramiah (Former CM). In Rajasthan, the Congress can script a history by winning the elections if the infighting between Sachin Pilot and Ashok Gehlot stops and they jointly work to ensure the victory.The BJP is in a huddle as it does not want to project Vasundhara Raje as the CM but it will be very difficult for top brass of the Bharatiya Janata Party to ignore Rajmata, as she is popularly called in Rajasthan.

 

Madhya Pradesh is another state where BJP is in a dilemma as to whether to project Shivraj Singh Chauhan as the CM candidate or not. Jyotriaditya Scindia who broke 20 MLAs from Congress leading to the fall of Kamal Nath government is also a contender for the Chief Ministerial post along with Narottam Mishra, the incumbent Home Minister of MP. As per the sources, both Digivijay Singh and Kamal Nath are working together for ensuring a Congress Victory in the upcoming elections. Chhattisgarh, the neighbouring state of Madhya Pradesh will also be witnessing the Elections this year. As of now, the CM- Bhupesh Baghel is on a good pitch as he is gaining huge support from the tribal belt due to a lot of state run initiatives for the Tribals. 

 

Jammu and Kashmir is also to go for the first Assembly Elections after it was declared a Union Territory in 2019 after the Abrogation of Article 370. The Bharat Jodo Yatra will also conclude in Srinagar on January 30th. As per media reports, the Congress President, Mallikarjun Kharge has written to 21 Political parties and invited them to be a part of the concluding programme of the Yatra in Srinagar to mark a sense of unity. 

 

Now, it is to be seen whether Rahul Gandhi’s new image helps the Congress party in fetching electoral dividends or it was just about building RaGa’s image.

Who is RN Ravi-the Governor of Tamil Nadu who walked out of the Legislative Assembly?

The India Saga Saga |

RN Ravi, the Governor of Tamil Nadu is seen being in a confrontation with the MK Stalin led DMK government. It all started with Ravi walking out of the Legislative Assembly after skipping some parts of speeches during the Governor’s Address. 

 

It seems that confirmation between the Governors and the State Government across India has become a new norm. Be it Kerala, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and now Tamil Nadu, Raj Bhawans are seen giving a tough time to the state governments. Recently, the same was witnessed down the south, in Tamil Nadu. It all started when Governor Ravindra Narayana Ravi, a retired IPS officer of the Kerala cadre, started to read out the Governor’s Address to the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly.

 

As convention goes, the speech was written by the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and Ravi, as governor, was duty bound to read it to the assembly. The problem commenced after Ravi omitted portions of the speech. This angered CM M K Stalin and other DMK leaders who felt this gubernatorial breach of convention was not correct. Ravi began the omissions with the 12th point of the speech where the state government stated, ‘This Government accords highest priority to maintenance of law and order in the State and is taking all necessary measures to ensure that the State continues to be a haven of peace and tranquillity, free from any form of violence.

 

‘With utmost concern for the future of our youth, the Hon’ble Chief Minister is determined to crack down on the distribution and consumption of drugs and narcotic substances with an iron hand. This Government is continuously taking measures to prevent drug smuggling including stringent enforcement of law and awareness creation among people.’

 

Ravi also omitted point 64 which stated: ‘Since this Government took office … In 2021, the State was severely affected by heavy flooding and rains, and normal life was disrupted. Based on the learnings of that disaster, this Government has effectively managed the recent cyclone and rains.

 

‘The State’s economy was in doldrums due to several reasons including Covid. Within the last year and a half, due to the economic reforms, welfare schemes and development works carried out by this Government, the economy has been revived and the State has been marching ahead in the path of development.

 

‘Because of stellar management of law and order, Tamil Nadu continues to be a haven of peace. As a result, the State is attracting numerous foreign investments and is becoming a forerunner in all sectors.’ Point 65, which Ravi ignored, stated: ‘This Government is founded on the ideals of social justice, self-respect, inclusive growth, equality, women empowerment, secularism and compassion towards all.

 

‘Following the principles and ideals of stalwarts like Thanthai Periyar, Annal Ambedkar, Perunthalaivar Kamarajar, Perarignar Anna and Muthamizh Arignar, Kalaignar, this Government has been delivering the much-acclaimed Dravidian model of governance to its people.’

 

After Chief Minister Stalin moved a resolution, even as Ravi was speaking, that the speech was read, the governor walked out of the assembly.

Delhi government’s DIP issues notice against AAP in violation of guidelines

The India Saga Saga |

The Delhi government DIP (Directorate of Information & Publicity) issued a notice to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to recover Rs. 163.62 crores that were spent on advertisements allegedly in violation of guidelines set by the Supreme Court in the year 2015. It also warned that the AAP headquarters might be sealed if the party fails to deposit the money in 10 days. The notice talks about all the money spent on advertisements published outside the national capital. It was issued on Wednesday, days after Vinai Kumar Saxena, Delhi’s lieutenant governor directed Naresh Kumar, Delhi’s chief secretary to recover Rs.97 crore that AAP spent on advertisements in violation of the guidelines. 

 

An official who gave a statement on the condition of anonymity said that legal action that might involve attachment of party properties would be taken as per Saxena’s order. The total amount of Rs 163.62 crore includes the principal amount of Rs 99.31 crore till march 2017 and interest of Rs. 64.31 crores. Saxena’s order further cited the findings of a Union government-appointed panel that had three members who in September 2016 concluded that the Government of Delhi was guilty of misusing taxpayers’ money on their personal advertisements. The panel stated that AAP should reimburse the funds. 

 

If AAP does not make the required deposit, Saxena ordered legal measures, including the attachment of properties. He also commanded that advertisements published after 2019 need to be examined. The animosity between Saxena and the AAP government is expected to worsen due to this notice. They have clashed over a number of investigations into the AAP government, among other things. However, the AAP did not immediately respond to the warning yet. On the other hand, according to AAP’s top spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj, Saxena’s decision from December about advertisements was unlawful, and the lieutenant governor lacked the authority to recoup the money.

Here’s what you need to know about the Joshimath Sinking crisis

The India Saga Saga |

The local government has designated the holy town of Joshimath in Uttarakhand, which has a population of about 20,000, as disaster-prone. Joshimath, a hill town in Uttarakhand, has raised concerns due to its sinking ground, which has resulted in fractures emerging in more than 700 houses and endangering communities throughout much of the town.

 

The local government has deemed the sacred town, which has 20,000 residents, to be disaster-prone. The region around Joshimath has been declared disaster-prone. Joshimath and the surrounding areas have been declared construction-free zones, according to the Chamoli DM.

 

The sacred town of Joshimath is said to have been constructed on the site of a long-ago landslide. This small Himalayan town was under increased strain due to increasing urbanisation. Researchers asserted that because urbanisation interferes with natural water drainage, undermines slopes, and causes an uncontrolled release of water, it has historically gotten the city’s condition worse.

 

One of the main causes of widespread landslides in the area is excessive building. According to DP Kanungo, head scientist of the CSIR, as many as 128 landslides were reported in the Chamoli-Joshimath area between 2009 and 2012. 

 

A prior independent group to survey the area was established in June 2021 at the request of nearby citizens. The committee also suggested an elaborate plan, stating that “additional excavation efforts will submerge Joshimath,” survey by multi-institutional experts. 

 

Initiatives by the Government 

 

A top official announced on Wednesday that buildings, such as homes and hotels, that have developed wide fissures and are in danger of collapsing would be razed within a week.

 

Every afflicted family would receive Rs 1.5 lakh immediately as compensation for losing their home, the government declared. “For impacted households, the Chief Minister has offered interim assistance of Rs. 150,000. Along with this, individuals in need would also receive Rs 50,000 in supplementary aid,” R. Meenakshi Sundaram, the CM of Uttarakhand’s secretary, stated.

 

The locals who were impacted by the landslide will get market-based compensation. The Office of CM Pushkar Singh Dhami stated that the market rate would be determined after considering ideas from the interested parties.

India’s Leading Radiation Oncologist Dr Sridhar PS on Prostate Cancer – Symptoms and Treatment

The India Saga Saga |

The incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) is rapidly increasing globally. It is the second most striking cancer and the sixth most fatal cancer among men. Also, studies reveal a higher incidence in African, Caucasian and African-American men than Asian men. Nevertheless, awareness and early screening is the right way to prevent prostate cancer and live a healthy life.

 

Dr Sridhar P S, a noted radiation oncologist in India, states, ‘With regular screenings and proactive management, individuals can help ensure they receive the best possible outcomes when dealing with prostate cancer. Also, the treatment of prostate cancer has improved greatly with a range of treatment options such as surgery, radiation, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy; patients have a better survival rate than other cancers.’

 

Dr Sridhar PS narrates a decade old case of 71 YO prostate cancer patient who recovered through performed 5 Cyberknife sessions, and his PSA of 21 was reduced to less than 1 with no side effects. After a decade, the patient’s PSA levels had risen along with the size. He sought Dr Sridhar PS treatment for prostate cancer who then performed a Cyberknife session and the size decreased. Hence, Cyberknife is effective at local, post operative, recurrence after radiotherapy.

 

Symptoms of prostate cancer include difficulty urinating, frequent night time urination, pain or burning feeling during urination, and blood in the urine or semen. It is important to monitor for these symptoms, especially as a person ages. Men after 45 with a family history of cancer should seek early and regular screening, while men above 50 should opt for annual screening for prostate and other cancers. Additionally, routine screening, such as a digital rectal exam and blood testing for prostate-specific antigen (PSA), can help detect early warning signs of this disease. Unfortunately, most men shield away or delay their examination, which does not work out in their favour as late detection does complicate and delay the recovery process.

 

Though cancerous, prostrate tumors grow slowly and when detected in early stages, patients respond better. In addition, patients have lived up to ten years post-diagnosis. Therefore, the treatment of prostate cancer is quite comprehensive. The stage of cancer and the patient’s condition are the two critical factors considered before developing a multi-disciplinary treatment protocol.

 

Prostate cancer is curable in stages 1 to 3 and, to a certain extent, in stage 4A. Patients are treated with radiation and/or androgen deprivation therapy. Regarding cancer at Stage 4B, doctors prescribe treatment to slow down tumour growth.

 

Hormone therapy involves blocking the production of testosterone to impair the growth of tumors and also introducing newer drugs such as abiraterone & enzlamide to help treat cancer resistant to hormonal therapy.

 

Advancements in radiation therapy help precisely deliver radiation to prostate cancer cells. The three types of radiation therapy used to treat prostate cancer are External beam radiation, Brachytherapy (internal radiation) and radiopharmaceuticals.

 

External beam radiation therapies (EBRT) are useful in treating early-stage cancers or relieving bone pain if cancer has affected the bone. Also, this is a painless therapy and takes very little time. However, setting up the patient to receive the treatment is a long process. The advantage of EBRT is accuracy in delivery and reduced radiation exposure to healthy tissues surrounding the tumor.

 

Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) seeks the help of special computers to locate the prostate for a multi-directional approach of radiation beams. This therapy is equally precise in delivery while causing minimal damage to healthy organs and tissues.

 

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) are recently advanced therapies that deliver radiation with higher degrees of precision; hence, the patient faces minimal side effects.

 

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is yet another technique that delivers larger doses of radiation with the help of advanced image-guided techniques. This therapy administers larger radiation doses, and hence few days are required to complete the full course of treatment. SBRT is synonymous with X-Knife, CyberKnife, and Clinic, the names of machines that deliver radiation.

 

This technique uses advanced image-guided techniques to deliver large doses of radiation to a precise area, such as the prostate. Because there are large doses of radiation in each dose, the entire course of treatment is given over just a few days.

 

Brachytherapy or seed implantation, or interstitial radiation therapy involves the use of small-sized seeds or pellets in the prostate. It is recommended for men with slow-growing early-stage prostate cancer. In addition, the combination of Brachytherapy and external radiation is recommended for men who have a considerable risk of cancer growing external to the prostate.

 

Radiopharmaceuticals, as the name suggests, are drugs with radioactive elements. These drugs are injected through a vein and emit radiation to destroy the cancer cells. These drugs are capable of reaching cancer spread anywhere in the body.

 

It is important to remember that prostate cancer is treatable and managed successfully. Many men can lead normal, healthy lives after diagnosis and treatment. More individuals are living longer with this disease with increased awareness and early detection. The patients need to speak up and get the required help to maximize their quality of life. With proper care and support, there is hope for a successful outcome.

Dr. B.S. Tomar’s work on Indian childhood cirrhosis Saved many Lives

The India Saga Saga |

Dr. Balvir S. Tomar has made a significant contribution to the medical community with his efforts to combat Indian Childhood Cirrhosis, a virus with a 100% fatality rate in young children. Indian Childhood Cirrhosis, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the liver and bile ducts, leading to severe liver damage and scarring. It was a particularly dangerous virus for young children, with a 100% mortality in those under the age of 5.

 

After returning from abroad, Dr. Tomar established India’s first pediatric gastroenterology institute at SMS Medical College in Jaipur to address common childhood diseases such as diarrhea and malnutrition, which were the leading causes of death at the time. This institute was fully funded through public donations and has played a crucial role in addressing these diseases and improving children’s health in India.

 

Dr. B S Tomar is a highly skilled and accomplished medical professional with a wealth of experience in the field of paediatric nutrition as well. He obtained his MD and MBBS degrees from Gajra Raja Medical College and later pursued further studies at Harvard University and Oxford University before specializing in paediatric liver disease at Kings College in London.

 

Despite the challenges and obstacles faced in finding a cure, Dr. Tomar remained committed to finding a way to combat this deadly virus. Through his hard work and doing lots of research, he found a treatment that ultimately saved countless lives and made a significant impact on the healthcare industry. Today, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Tomar and others, Indian Childhood Cirrhosis is no longer the major threat it once was, and families can receive the care and support they need to navigate and get over this difficult experience.

 

In addition to his work in the medical field, Dr. Tomar is also highly involved in the education sector. He currently serves as the Chairman of the Niflux group of enterprises, the Chairman of NIMS Hospital, and the Chancellor of NIMS University, all of which are dedicated to providing quality healthcare and education to the public.

 

Also, during the Covid-19 havoc Dr. B.S. Tomar with his understanding of the severity of the virus and what impact it had on people, he converted the NIMS Hospital into a quarantine centre. Leading to this, people who were infected with the virus had a place to get their treatments and nourishment done. During this time, he did research on ashwagandha commonly known as Indian Winter cherry or Indian Ginseng, ginger, black pepper, basil leaves, and honey. Prof. (Dr.) Balvir S. Tomar found out that these herbs are able to increase the immunity of patients and realized that where the patients were getting corona-negative in 10 to 12 days, now they were recovering in 5-7 days with improved immunity.

 

Dr. Tomar is a firm believer in the importance of helping others and has always encouraged others to be kind and compassionate toward those in need. He attributes his success to his values and principles and is committed to using his medical expertise to benefit society.

 

He has also decided to use his skills and resources to address social issues and create positive change in India. He has chosen to become a social entrepreneur, which means he is using his clinical acumen and enthusiasm to tackle problems related to health and make India a healthier place. One of Dr. Tomar’s main goals as a social entrepreneur is to serve the masses of India, particularly those who are most marginalized and disadvantaged. This involves working with communities to provide access to education, healthcare, and other basic necessities.

 

Born on 28 August, 1950 in a poor, yet noble family in Varanasi, Dr. Tomar always had ambitions to serve society in different ways. He is an exceptional individual who has dedicated his life to positively impacting the world. His legacy in the world will be felt for centuries to come as a result of his work as a social entrepreneur and philanthropist, which has enhanced the quality of life for countless people and still does.
