he Gandhian leader at the pinnacle of his political career in Rajasthan, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, reflecting Gandhi’s ideology in every action to provide able governance while keeping every community in mind and proceeding towards inclusive nation-build- ing, will honour 91st anniversary of the T iconic Dandi March led by Mahatma Gandhi against the British Raj. CM Gehlot will flag off the symbolic Dandhi March in the city on Friday, which will begin from Gandhi Bhavan in Bajaj Nagar and culminate at the Gandhi Circle. The event will be attended by a galaxy of his cabinet colleagues, MLAs, various Gandhian thinkers and Congress leaders. With CM Gehlot at the helm, the 150th Gandhi’s birth anniversary year has been constantly witnessing a plethora of events involving exhibitions of khadi chakra, handicrafts, handlooms, swadeshi arti- facts among others. Gehlot, while shooting barbs at both the opposition in the state and BJP gov- ernment at the Centre, has on numerous occasions reminded netas of the Gandhian philosophy of serving people and quot- ed the Mahatma to im- part socio-political wisdom. With Gehlot treading on the Gan- dhian path, he is certainly setting an example of all-inclusive governance for other chief ministers and leaders in the country to follow.

Very worried... “As we were reaching here for this press conference, we learned that a strict lock- down is being imposed in Nagpur. So, we are reaching a situation where those ap- proaches are being brought back,” Dr Paul said. “We are very worried about Maha- rashtra. This is a serious matter. This has two lessons - don’t take the virus for granted, and if we have to remain Covid- free, then, we need to follow Covid-appro- priate behaviour,” he added. Maharashtra, the worst-hit state in the country, today reported 13,659 daily coro- navirus cases, which is 60 percent of the country’s single-day total.

BJP’s West Bengal unit has demanded a a CBI probe into the alleged attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, saying that it needs to be seen whether the inci- dent was a “well-scripted drama” to gar- ner votes. Speaking to reporters, state party pres- ident Dilip Ghosh said that the people of the state have seen such “drama” earlier as well. “It needs to be probed what actu- ally happened. How come a Z-plus pro- tectee gets attacked is a matter that has to be looked into. The state should order a CBI probe to bring out the truth,” he said and added that “such drama would not yield any results this time.”
