Pradeep Kurulkar, director of the country’s renowned organization DRDO, has been arrested by the ATS for sharing important information related to the country’s security with a Pakistani girl, and the agency is trying to find out ‘how many more girls’ have been used for this ‘honey trapping’. Kurulkar, 59, was due to retire from his DRDO job in November this year. If sources are to be believed, it was Kurulkar who used to teach the people of his department the tricks to avoid honey trap. Last year, one such program was organized at the DRDO campus in Pune, where Kurulkar, as an expert, threw light on ways to avoid honey traps. When asked what compelled him to share sensitive information about his country with a stranger for a few nude photos, Kurulkar said he was a victim of ‘loneliness’. While Kurulkar and his 4 generations are imbued with patriotism, he and his family have a very old association with the Sangh. One of his interviews is also going viral these days in which he is seen with his wife and saying that ‘for the last 14 years he has been playing the saxophone in various programs of the Sangh.’ DRDO had formed its own ‘Elite Think Tank’ – ‘G-FAST’ in which only 12 scientists out of 6000 scientists were selected to run this think tank, and Kurulkar was one of them.

Many strange decisions remain imprisoned in the womb of destiny. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also got caught in the web woven by the BJP and he had to leave his official residence – 12 Tughlaq Lane – where he was living for the last 19 years, due to an unwanted decision of the Surat court. Therefore, he shifted to his mother’s house at 10 Janpath. Rajkumar Sharma, a well-known astrologer from Mumbai, has circumambulated 12 Tughlaq Lane in the past and has shared many important information regarding Vastudosh there. According to Pandit Sharma, 12 Tughlaq Lane is a south-facing house, which is not good in terms of Vastu, due to which ‘negative energy’ prevails in this house. This was the reason that Congress had to face defeat for the last several years. Rahul too lost from Amethi. Congress seats in the Lok Sabha decreased continuously and many strong leaders of the party left the Congress and went elsewhere. At one point, Rahul’s recognition in the party itself was reduced to a great extent. Pandit Sharma says that ‘the day Rahul left 12 Tughlaq Lane, his rise begun.’ Congress wins Karnataka with thunder and drumbeat and its prospects look better in upcoming 5 state assembly elections. Pandit ji says that ‘Rahul Gandhi’s zodiac sign is Scorpio and the ascendant is Cancer. From December 2022, Rahul’s ‘Chandra Mahadasha’ has started which will continue till 2032. This dasha is indicating towards a positive change. May the days ahead be bright and full of hope for Rahul, his shifting to 10 Janpath during this period is also an auspicious one.

It was known to everyone even before the results of the Karnataka elections that if the Congress government came to power in the state, the crown would be on Siddaramaiah’s head. One, he is the biggest leader of 36 percent OBC castes of the state, the Kuruba caste from which he comes, the percentage of this caste in the state is also more than 7 percent. And perhaps the more important thing is that he is Rahul Gandhi’s first choice as the Chief Minister. But there was also a faction of the Congress which continued to advocate for DK Shivkumar. This group was headed by Rahul’s favourite KC Venugopal and Congress’ Karnataka in-charge Randeep Surjewala. Seeing this, Karnataka Congress MLA G Parameshwara came to the ground with his supporters and started demanding the post of Deputy CM. Sensing all these circumstances, the Congress entrusted its observer Sushil Kumar Shinde with the responsibility to ‘dispose of the matter immediately.’ Shinde hastily submitted his report to the high command and said that ‘if Siddaramaiah’s name as CM is not announced soon, then MLAs can rebel because some leaders of BJP and JDS are in constant touch with them, so they can break away with 96 MLAs out of total 135 of Congress and form their own government with BJP’s support.’ In such a situation, only 32 MLAs were left to count with DK. Along with this, Sushil Kumar Shinde, a Dalit leader from Maharashtra, who had announced his retirement during Rahul’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, has also returned to active Congress politics.

There were already speculations that Rs 2,000 note would be hit by demonetisation, because the government’s press had stopped printing these notes a long time ago, and its circulation was also limited to large transactions. But as soon as the results of the Karnataka elections came and the saffron fort collapsed there, the government took this big decision in a hurry. These notes are to be deposited in banks by 30 September 2023 and just two months after that, assembly elections are to be held in five states i.e. Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana and Mizoram. Look carefully, except one Madhya Pradesh, there are opposition governments in all the other four states. So, it is certain that once the Rs 2,000 note is banned, the fund management of the opposition parties may collapse, as for the BJP, it has the biggest stock of ‘Electoral Bonds’. When demonetisation was announced for the first time in November 2016, assembly elections were to be held in the five states of UP, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Goa and Manipur in the very next year i.e. 2017. Now only after a year i.e. in 2024, general elections are also to be held in the country.

Due to a mistake of the Congress in the recent civic elections in Uttar Pradesh, Congress could not make its mayor in the municipal corporations. In fact, on April 16, Congress state president Brijlal Khabri gave Form 7A to Shyam Sundar Upadhyay Bittu along with giving the party symbol for the election and Bittu got involved in the preparations for the election. Meanwhile, Rajkumar Rawat left the BSP and joined the Congress. Khabri then asked Bittu to return the symbol as he now wanted Rawat to be the candidate. But Bittu went to the court, the court upheld his election symbol, so the Congress had to field Rawat as an independent. At the same time, Congress got Rawat complete support from SP and RLD as well. Rawat’s main contest was against Sunil Bansal’s relative and BJP candidate Vinod Agarwal. When the results of the election were declared, the BJP won the election with a record 1,45,720 votes, the BSP came second with 35,191 votes, and Shyam Sundar, an independent, got 35,173 votes, while Rawat came fourth with 30,247 votes.

Delhi is going to be far away for the BJP maharathis of Delhi. Important sources related to the Sangh reveal that in Delhi BJP will replace all its seven winning MPs and new faces will be fielded. If sources are to be believed, the tickets of Gautam Gambhir from East Delhi and Hansraj Hans from North West Delhi will be cut. The case of Chandni Chowk MP Harshvardhan is also said to be in limbo. On the other hand, Manoj Tiwari, MP from North-East Delhi, can be sent to Bihar to contest the Lok Sabha elections. Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva can be fielded in place of Meenakshi Lekhi from New Delhi. West Delhi MP Pravesh Verma can be fielded from a Jat dominated seat in Haryana or western UP and Ramesh Vidhuri from South Delhi can also be replaced.

Ultimately, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju had to pay the price for his immaturity as he has been sent to the Ministry of Earth Sciences as the top leadership tries to persuade him to ‘stay grounded’. Just two qualities of taker Arjun Ram Meghwal have brought him here, one he is one of the ministers very close to the top leadership. And second he speaks and does as much as he is told. Rijuju’s sudden departure was scripted when in an important meeting of the Prime Minister, Chief Justice of India and Leader of the Opposition Adhir Ranjan Chowdhary was called to select the new CBI chief. In the initial trends, the request of the top leadership showed that ‘why not give an extension to the current CBI director Subodh Jaiswal.’ So many questions have been raised on the extension of the director’s service, how can the CBI director be different from it?’ Then the name of 1987 batch Dinkar Gupta, who is currently the NIA chief, came up for discussion. But the Chief Justice was of the clear opinion that ‘seniority should always be taken into account in such appointments’, thus Praveen Sood of the 1986 batch was the senior-most and his name was sealed. After this, there was a mention of mutual harmony between the judiciary and the legislature in the top leadership and CJI during tea. And when the matter did ‘come out’, it went far away. The Chief Justice drew the attention of the top leadership to the statements of the Minister of the Government, where he has been degrading the collegium system. Rijuju’s statement was also very sensitive for the judiciary, in which he called some retired judges ‘Anti India’. He termed them to be involved in activities and also said that ‘these retired judges are trying to ‘play the role’ of the opposition.’ Apparently such a big and sensitive statement would not have flourished in Rijuju’s mind only? So, in the run-up to the 2024 elections, hymns of mutual cooperation were recited. Adani got a clean chit from the Supreme Court-appointed committee, SEBI got three months’ time and in return, Rijuju was sacked from the law ministry.
