Sanjay Raut, the head of ‘diaper change’ politics in the Thackeray family, has got a rich reward in the Shiv Sena for his devotion towards the Thackeray family and has also launched a new ‘school’ in politics that a place can be made in politics only by singing praises. It is said that he has played an important role in putting the strain in the relations of Shiv Sena and BJP because he is deeply connected with NCP leader Sharad Pawar. And this is the reason why he started raising the voice that Pawar should be made the next President of the country in June itself. If sources are to be believed, his political ambitions started to shake up so much that there was a time when he felt that he could become the CM of the state, but when his dream was broken, he got hospitalized. Raut, who has made a statement in the untimely death of Sushant Singh Rajput, has suddenly emerged as a villain in the eyes of North Indians. North Indians are so hurt by his personality that his party Shiv Sena on social media came to be known as ‘Shava Sena’, Shava denoting a dead bod. When he started displaying much love towards Aditya Thackeray, junior Thackeray’s words also started to deteriorate and the BJP’s digital army targeted him in a bid to prove Aditya Thackeray as the ‘second Pappu’ after Rahul. He also came to be known as ‘Baby Penguin’ on social media.

Despite the absence of Sushant Singh Rajput, people’s craze for him is increasing, especially in Bihar, a new ‘passion’ for him is seen and this attitude of ‘Khalis Biharipan’ is so deep that the central government of BJP understood this. It was mentioned earlier that Sushant’s untimely death will become a big issue in the Bihar Assembly elections. According to highly placed sources, the Central Government is preparing, posthumously, to award the country’s highest civilian honor Padma Vibhushan to Sushant Singh Rajput. Sushant’s birthday falls on 21 January and civilian honors are announced around 25 January on the occasion of Republic Day. Meanwhile, after approving the recommendation of the Bihar government, the Modi government has handed over the case of Sushant’s death to CBI. Sushant’s case is making new revelations every day, and now a former R&AW intelligence agent NK Sood claims that Sushant’s death has a connection to D Company, from where he was constantly receiving threats, claiming ha he was so scared of these threats that he changed 50 SIM cards in a few days.

Sometimes he parked their car in a secluded place and slept in it. Sood raises the question that Sushant, who wrote the scripts of the two films, also had a habit of writing diaries regularly and if he had an absurd idea of suicide, he would have left some suicide note. Sood suspects Sushant’s filmmaker friend Sandeep Singh alleging that he has done the job by teaming up with Sushant’s servant. Sood also suspects that Sandeep used to share all the information related to Sushant with Karan Johar and Salman Khan. Sood also reveals Salman’s relationship with the underworld. Now that the matter is with the CBI, it would be best to wait before reaching any such conclusion.

Anar Patel, the darling daughter of Anandi Ben Patel – Governor of big states like Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, has always loved to make headlines. If sources are to be believed, she may contest from her mother’s traditional seat Patan or Ghatlodia in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections of 2022. It is said that these days Anar is spending more and more time in working on the grass roots. If sources are to be believed, Chhattisgarh’s Congress Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel was so impressed with Anar’s work that he has invited him to Raipur and asked him to cooperate in building a film city. Years back, Anar, together with Vandana Agarwal, formed the institution of ‘Gramshree’, a period when the state was in the hands of her mother. Anar’s organization strives to keep the local craftsmenship alive and their organization also undertakes to preserve the legacy of traditional crafts and arts. When Anandiben Patel bid goodbye to active politics, she wanted her traditional Ghatlodia seat to be given to Anar. The seat now comes under Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency and in the 2017 assembly elections, this seat was given to Bhupendra Patel, who was elected MLA from there. So, this time Anar may consider Patan seat for herself.

Anand Kumar of Bihar, famous for his ‘Super Thirty’, based on which a movie was made which was extremely successful, is now exploring his new role in the Bihar assembly elections. At one time Anand used to be in close proximity of BJP-Sangh, and in 2018, BJP also promised to give him Rajya Sabha seat, but by then there was a big controversy about Super Thirty. It is said that Anand claimed that 26 out of the thirty students selected in the IIT, were his but, later it was found that the number of correct students coming to the IITs was only 3. Hrithik Roshan, the hero of that film, had also tweeted and called the 26 successful children to Mumbai to give them a party, but when the situation got complicated, the actor also had to delete that tweet. Seeing the contradiction, the BJP backed away from its promise, and that is when Anand became close to Nitish Kumar. Nitish proposed to make Anand a MLC, but Anand did not agree to anything other than Rajya Sabha, so disputes started between the two. Now Anand wants his younger brother Pranab Kumar to contest the upcoming assembly elections from Aurangabad or Alwar on RJD ticket. Anand Kumar is a Chandravanshi Kahar by caste which has a large vote bank in both these constituencies. According to sources, recently, Anand Kumar has approached a major Hollywood director to make a film on his life in Hollywood too and he is willing to invest some money in this film.

Uma Bharti, who had given herself wholeheartedly to the Ram temple movement, was waiting for a sacred date like August 5, for a long time. But when that auspicious moment came, she was left waiting for the call, so a miffed Bharti declared that she will remain on the banks of Saryu River of Ayodhya i.e. at Ram Ki Paidi till time when PM Modi leaves the Ram Janmabhoomi temple after laying the foundation stone. This was because by then she was not sent an invitation to the foundation stone program. Only ANI and Doordarshan were allowed to go to the venue, while the rest of the media was stationed at Ram Ki Paidi, some 30 km from the venue. Uma also has an old relationship with the media, so ‘Champat Rai’ felt that the media should not ask her anything else, and therefore Uma was invited in a hurry and was given a place to sit in the foundation stone laying program. Interestingly, question were raised on those who sat in the front row. The questions were asked about what they had to do with the temple movement, for example, nobody knew anything about the contribution of Baba Ramdev, sitting in the first line, Mahamandaleshwar Awadheshananda Giri or Swami Chidananda. Mahendra Pandey, the only minister in the Modi government who was also involved in ‘Karseva’, also went to jail because of the temple movement, but he was not even invited. Vinay Katiyar’s age has not yet crossed 75, he too was not called. Acharya Dharmendra, who would create a charged atmosphere with his oratory skills, much like Sadvi Ritambhara, was also seen sitting in the 5th or 6th row. Sri-Sri Ravi Shankar, who spoke of mediation on the Ram temple, was out of the picture, so those individuals occupied the stage, backstage and ceremony, who had nothing to do with the Ram temple in the past.

Sheila Kaul’s bungalow in Lucknow is being renovated for Priyanka Gandhi ever since she received official notice to vacate her Delhi’s Lodhi road government bungalow. However, Sheela Kaul’s daughter Deepa is not confirming that Priyanka is going to stay at her mother’s bungalow. Deepa Kaul lives in Ghaziabad and keeps visiting Lucknow. Sheila Kaul was Indira Gandhi’s maternal uncle’s wife and her husband -Kailashnath Kaul – has been the founder of the ‘National Botanical Research Institute’ at Lucknow, while he is considered as one of the fathers of the Green Revolution. Sheela and Kailash Kaul have three children – Deepa Kaul, Vikram Kaul and Gautam Kaul. So, the owner of this bungalow in Lucknow is Deepa Kaul. But sources reveal that when Priyanka was staying in this bungalow in Lucknow during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, she took permission from Deepa’s son Ashish, who lives in Mumbai, however, Deepa, probably was not even aware of this.

If Modi’s nationwide invincible image is being challenged by someone, if someone is constantly asking him questions on Corona and China, it is the pair of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi. In such a situation, the Muslims of Uttar Pradesh have started feeling that only Congress can challenge Modi and Yogi. So, knowingly and unknowingly, UP’s Muslims are returning to the Congress fold, while Mayawati’s inaction in the state and her ‘pro-BJP’ tone is also benefiting the Congress. Mayawati’s Dalit vote bank is rapidly shifting to the BJP and Congress. The Dalits are not willing to go with the Yadavs, as has been observed by SP through its alliance with the BSP in the last election. Priyanka Gandhi has put a lot of effort to revive the Congress in UP and has set up committees in almost every district of UP. Lucknow is the most suitable place for her to control these efforts to revive UP Congress, so Priyanka now wants to set up her camp in Lucknow itself. At the same time, Priyanka’s eyes are also on the Brahmin votes of the state, about whom she believes that they are feeling cheated in Yogi Raj, the Brahmins feel that since the Thakurs are in the government in the state, that is why criminals like Raja Bhaiya are also untouched. In order to draw Brahmin votes from the Congress, Priyanka has put forward the face of Jitin Prasad in UP.

The ‘fire’ of UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has been revived ever since gangster Vikas Dubey was killed in a police encounter. Yogi’s was reportedly severely miffed when Vikas Dubey and his henchmen killed 8 policemen and soon after the incident when UP Police DGP HC Awasthi sought time to meet the Chief Minister, the DGP was sent a message by the CM, “What is the need to meet now? Why are coming to me empty-handed? Do something and show me.” The DGP had understood the message very well, and the events after that are in front of everyone. Now an attempt is being made to probe the political connections of Vikas Dubey, but it is a bitter fact that Dubey had travelled from BJP to SP to BSP, and this time around he was fighting to contest assembly elections on BJP ticket. It is worth mentioning that in 2001, Vikas Dubey publicly murdered Santosh Shukla, Minister of State for the BJP Government, after which Mayawati’s government was formed with the help of BJP in the state, but Dubey was not touched. After this, the Mulayam Singh ousted Mayawati’s government in the state, but still, there was no decrease in Dubey’s political clout, rather he emerged stronger, which was not possible without any political patronage. In Yogi Raj, Dubey’s clout continued for 3 years and it is said that Dubey also had close relations with many officials and ministers of the Yogi government. Allegations are also being levelled against Yogi government’s Law Minister Brajesh Pathak, who used to be close to gangster Harishankar Tiwari and there was a time ‘Tada’ was imposed on Pathak. However, the Hindi saying, “Jab saiyan bhaye Kotwal, tab darr kaahe ka” seems apt here.

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval has emerged as a major troubleshooter for the Modi government when the two-and-a-half-month-long negotiations with China could not be resolved even at the level of defence minister, the foreign minister, and even the general level talks were inconclusive, so it was then low-profile NSA Doval spoke with the Chinese side and lo and behold, the issue was sorted. Doval spoke to the Chinese side in a blunt manner and is believed to have told them that both India and China wants development. “You want to progress and we are also determined for this, we have to move forward on those things where there is no scope for any dispute. You are facing the US and when we do not give the market, how will you be able to compete with the US, war is not good for both the countries.”The Chinese understood this and agreed to withdraw their army. China is okay with its policy of stepping one step back to take two steps forward later. Even before this, when the Modi government was going through a period of turbulence whether it was a case of the removal of Article 370 from Kashmir or the growing heat of the Delhi riots, Doval has always played the role of a troubleshooter.

The rate at which corona cases are increasing in Delhi, a tussle has been witnessed for beds for the patients. The Delhi government had information that those private hospitals authorized to treat Corona, are undertaking their money-making venture with it. They are shifting more and more patients to their private wards and when asked by the government, they give an incorrect number of beds, while also making a mistake in stating the number of ventilators. When the matter was reported to the Delhi government, the government found a unique way to deal with this situation. In 114 such private hospitals, the Delhi government has put its people at the rate of 2 nursing staff per hospital and they were named as the Liaison Officer. The task of these liaison officers was to find out the ground reality of these private hospitals, so that they know the exact number of empty beds, and how many ventilators are available. They were also to find the amount charged from patients from the time they are admitted till their discharge and to see whether or not they are in line with the Supreme Court’s directions. On Wednesday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia spoke to all their Liaison Officers through the Zoom App and heard about their issues.
