" न कालमतिवर्तन्ते महान्तः स्वेषु कर्मसु।" Successful People Never Sit On Their Duties. महान लोग अपने कर्तव्यों में देरी नहीं करते हैं । To Day Is Birthday Of Jhansi Ki Rani INDIA: (GOI, SWARAJYA, VISHWAMITRA, HINDU POST, INDIA TODAY). India-U.S. fuel deal: India will buy nearly 10 percent of its liquefied petroleum gas in 2026 from the United States as part of a new deal, its oil and gas minister said. It is the first fuel deal of its kind for the Indian market and comes as India is looking for a way to reduce U.S. tariffs. Though it would be cheaper for India to buy the oil from Gulf countries, New Delhi said it was diversifying its sources.

BJD FORMED SHADOW CABINET

BJP SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS IN ORISSA

SARASIJ MAJUMDER

 

Mr. Patnaik has assigned various departments to 50 party MLAs to mirror or shadow the positions held by members of the Cabinet to hold the relatively inexperienced Mohan Manjhi-led BJP government accountable. It is the first time that a party has taken such a step at the state level formally.

This  could be seen as a lesson in politics for the rival INDIA opposition bloc in Lok Sabha.

In WESTMINISTER system, The Shadow Cabinet is made up of frontbench MPs and Members of the Lords from the second largest party, or official Opposition party.

 Shadow cabinet will  AUDIT decisions taken, and  work done by the inaugural Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in ORISSA. The opposition BJD assigned 50 of its 51 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) to various departments of the government to form this shadow government, a move akin to Britain’s Westminster system.

Mr. Patnaik is doing the real job of opponent-- missed in Indian polity.

The move by BJD president  came ahead of the budget session of the state assembly, slated to begin on July 22.  Right time. The BJD chief aims to kill two birds with a single shot here: Keeping the party united after being booted out of power for the first time in 24 years and also putting a check on the BJP government of  Mr. Mohan Majhi.

“The Opposition works as a watchdog of public interests in a democracy. By keeping a close watch on the performance of various departments of the state government and actively participating in the discussions related to them in the Assembly, it can help protect the rights of the people of the state as well as voice their concerns. Accordingly, Leader of Opposition (LoP) Naveen Patnaik has given responsibility to 50 elected members of the BJD to monitor various programmes of the departments,” BJD said in a statement.

The shadow cabinet ministers are expected to carefully monitor the work done by comparatively inexperienced new BJP ministers in the state.

For instance, former Finance Minister Prasanna Acharya has been asked to look after the finance department whereas former Energy Minister Pratap Deb will deal with General Administration & Public Grievance. Both of these departments are currently held by the CM himself.

Madhya Pradesh Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Vishwas Sarang launched a scathing attack on Odisha's Chief Minister and BJD leader Naveen Patnaik. Sarang referred to Patnaik as the "shadow" Chief Minister, while describing Mr Majhi as the "real" Chief Minister of the state. I don’t like this disrespectful comment.

However—INDI Alliance should learn the lesson, and instead of disrupting the Democratic process, shall emulate BJD.

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years. Villagers talk about Arvari's rebi...

  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A. The expenses due to direct losses of HARDWARE may be divided into the following items: - 1.0 Fighter Jets: -- May be 10 Numbers. 4-F16 as a combat loss. 2 Nos. Mirage 2000 and 4 Nos. F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN

  UNDERSTANDING WOMEN SARASIJ MAJUMDER   In a poem titled   ‘ বিদায় অভিশাপ ’—(FAREWELL CURSE)--, Tagore wrote: ........ রমণীর   মন   সহস্র বর্ষেরই   সখা সাধনার ধন । । [ ( To understand) Mind of a woman, my dear, ||You need a devotion of thousand years. ]—- Translation is mine. In simple language—‘One Life is not good enough to understand the mind of a Woman’—that is what, Devyani—the heroine of the poem said to Koch, her beloved. And I agree after completing 46 years of married life! However, based on my experience—I wanted to write an article on the subject, sharing my understanding for Romeos of future generations. This BLOG is an attempt towards that. Before I start—I want to share an interesting dialogue I had in an evening, with one of my American friend, ( married, and was living with wife and kids,) at his Ranch at Texas. When the darkness of evening started falling upon us, he told me: “….Mate—I understand Machines, Horses, Dogs…...
