At BJP chief ministers’ conclave in the Capital, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma received special praise from seniors as well fellow CMs for his government’s programme to provide one lakh jobs in the state.
The initiative drew the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as it did not trigger any controversy or resentment among any sections. Sarma was asked to make a presentation at the CM’s conclave and the PM had instructed Central government officials to take all the details from the state officials.
The Assam team had also been asked to make a presentation to their counterparts in other BJP-ruled states. This direction assumes significance in the backdrop of unemployment becoming a key election issue across states.
Back & Forth
The Lok Sabha elections may have ended for most, but the Election Commission’s grievance cell is still engaged in poll-related works. Recently, some of those who complained about poll code violations received emails from the grievance cell asking for additional information. One such complainant was Jagdeep S Chhokar, a co-founder of the Association of Democratic Reforms, it is learnt.
He had complained to the EC on April 22 against PM Narendra Modi’s speech in Rajasthan’s Banswara. The speech had led to the EC issuing a notice to BJP chief J P Nadda on April 25. On July 15, Chhokar got an email from the cell seeking more details. After he replied, the cell sent another email on July 21 informing him that his complaint had been forwarded to the officer concerned for “quick response”.
Sharing Gifts
On the lines of PM Narendra Modi auctioning the mementos received by him, President Droupadi Murmu will also hold an auction for selected gift items presented to her and former Presidents on various occasions.
The first auction of 250 gifts will start early next month through a portal. While the proceeds from the PM’s gifts’ auction went to the Namami Gange programme, the proceeds from the Rashtrapati Bhavan auction will be donated to help children in need.
