RAJENG/2019/77764 l Vol 1 l Issue No. 226 JP Nadda, Old Party Warhorse & Trusted Modi- Shah Lieutenant, is New BJP President Aditi Nagar New Delhi: After a historic and impressive tenure of almost six years, the mastermind strategist of the saffron party and Narendra Modi’s new Sardar, Amit Shah on Monday paved the way for an unanimous Modi- Shah-Bhagwat choice by passing on the baton to a low profile and soft- spoken JP Nadda, an old party warhorse and trusted Modi-Shah lieutenant. A galaxy of top BJP leadership, including Lal Krishna Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Rajnath Singh and others witnessed this historic moment of Nadda’s political career, who is now the new ‘hope’ of Modi and Shah at BJP headquarters. Nadda has his hands full with the upcoming Delhi and Bihar elections. Nadda is likely to follow a growth template set by Amit Shah but will certainly have a different working style. On the face value, Amit Shah’s presidential tenure has come to an end, but knowl- edgeable sources indicate that Shah, who happened to be the youngest president of the saffron party, will continue to call the shots.

The IMF said global growth would reach 3.3 per cent in 2020, compared to 2.9 per cent in 2019, which was the slowest pace since the financial crisis a decade ago. Estimates for both years were cut by 0.1 percentage point from forecasts made in October. Turn on P5 Growth will improve slightly to 3.4 per cent in 2021, but that estimate, too, was cut by 0.2 percentage point from October, the Washington-based international crisis lender said. The reductions reflect the IMF’s reassessment of economic prospects for a number of major emerging markets, notably India, where domestic demand has slowed more sharply than expected amid a contraction of credit and stress in the non-bank sector. The IMF also said it marked down growth forecasts for Chile due to social unrest and for Mexi- co, due to a continued weakness in investment. FACT NOT FICTION The slight downward revision of 0.1 per cent for two years and 0.2 per cent for the year after that in the global growth is largely due to downward revision for India estimates, she said THE INDIAN STORY z The International Monetary Fund has slashed its estimate on India’s 2019 economic growth to 4.8% from the 6.1% expansion it projected in October, citing a sharper-than-expected slowdown in local demand and stress in the non-bank financial sector. Sensex tumbles 416 pts, Nifty below 12,300 Equity markets slumped nearly a per cent as investors booked profit and sold equities across the board. The benchmark S&P BSE Sensex declined 760 points from record high level of 42,273.87 to hit an intra-day low of 41,503.37. On the NSE, the Nifty50 slipped below the crucial 12,250 mark in the intra-day trade. z The steep cut in India’s growth rate has weighed on IMF’s projection on the world economy, which it now expects to have expanded 2.9% in 2019 compared with the previous forecast of 3.0%. ‘After poll defeat, parties spreading lies, confusion’ 5 For the newly formed national president for BJP, JP Nadda, these will be the most formidable challenges... WHEN SUPREME COURT ‘PITCHED’ IN WITH MAJOR DECISIONS Pawan’s juvenility plea rejected Govt to handle Unitech management It said the Board will appoint a retired apex court judge to monitor the prepa- ration of resolution framework by the Board. The Centre had on Satur- day told the apex court that it is agreeable to revisit its 2017 proposal to take over the management control of Unitech Ltd and complete its stalled projects for providing relief to around 12,000 hassled homebuyers. New Delhi: The Supreme Court Monday accepted the proposal of the Centre to take over the management control of embattled realty firm Unitech Limited. A bench headed by Jus- tice D Y Chandrachud gave two months to the new board of Unitech to prepare the resolution framework of the company and sought its report. The bench, also compris- ing Justice M R Shah, New Delhi: Prime Min- ister Narendra Modi on Monday hit out at opposition saying those rejected by people in elections have been left with few weapons and were spreading confusion and lies. Without naming his rivals, Modi also targeted the “echo system” backing them, and said it has always been against the BJP . Asserting that despite attempts by the Opposi- tion to spread confusion and lies, people’s faith in the BJP and his government have remained “unshaken”, he said the party returned to power with a bigger mandate in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls despite its rivals fighting with their full strength. He was addressing the BJP leaders and workers at a ceremony to fe- licitate newly elected party president J P Nadda. CHALLENGES FOR JP NADDA New Delhi: The Supreme Court Monday rejected the plea of a death row convict in the Nirbhaya gang rape and murder case challenging the Delhi High Court order which had dismissed his claim of being a juvenile at the time of commission of offence. A bench com- prising Justices R B a n u m a t h i , Ashok Bushan and A S Bopanna dismissed the plea of the death row convict, Pawan Kumar Gupta, and upheld the Delhi High Court verdict. The apex court said there was no ground to interfere with the high court order that rejected Pawan’s plea and his claim was rightly rejected by the trial court as also the high court. Advocate A P Singh, appearing for Pawan, said that as per his school leaving certificate he was a minor at the time of the offence and none of the courts, including trial court and high court, ever considered his documents. parties, granted 2-month moratori- um to the new board from any legal against the company’s management. proceedings The crucial Delhi Assembly elections will be held on February 8, 2020 to elect 70 members.

Tata Tele also moved the apex court seeking an extension of the deadline according to TV reports. The latest development comes after the Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a review petition by the telcos, in a massive blow to the telecom industry, facing severe financial stress. The Supreme Court, in its order on October 24 last year, had asked telcos to pay up their AGR dues within 90 days. Sources at telecom firms had earlier said it wouldn’t be possible to cough up the entire AGR dues in a week, and that they were looking at the government’s approval to a staggered payment. Vodafone Idea and Bharti, the worst hit, have to pay Rs 53,038 crore and Rs 35,586 crore, respectively, towards their AGR dues. West Bengal goes to polls in 2021. It will be an acid test for the BJP leadership in general. It may be recalled that the Saffron Party had won 18 out of 42 Lok Sabha seats. Now, the party will try its best to re-enact the same feat. The CAA issue in West Bengal has already polarised the state and it is left to be seen how well JP Nadda uses the pitch to stump TMC which is still on a strong wicket. Kerala will also go to polls in 2021. On January 17, soon after Amit Shah announced at a rally in Bihar’s Vaishali district that the National Demo- cratic Alliance will contest the upcoming state poll under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, both the BJP and the JD(U) have started working on a seat sharing formula. Sources claim that both parties can agree to contest the poll on 50-50 (equal number of) seats on the lines of the Lok Sabha elections. 2 3 Turn on P5 7 killed, 1 hurt in Churu SUV-truck collision Seven people were killed and another injured when a speeding SUV rammed into trailer truck in Churu district, police said on Monday .

The department has ordered that whether it is a pas- senger vehicle or a goods vehicle, their fitness will be conducted only at the private check centres as there will be no such facility at the transport offices. Ironically, there are more than half of the districts in the state, which do not have fitness centres.

The ‘Tigress’ had recently attended a Sangh programme which raised quite a few eye brows.

The reason: Rupendra, fondly addressed by his followers as Ruby, is a face seen more than that of his father in the constituency. When posters of the MLA are pasted, they always have Ruby’s picture too. The growing ‘clout’ of the son can be gauged from the fact that the people even hand memorandum to him and only after a ‘Ruby stamp’ that any work happens in the constituency.

It has cut back its 2020 global growth forecasts due to the slowdown in India and other world markets. There is a silver lining to this dark cloud, though. It said a US-China trade deal is a signal that trade and manufacturing activity will bounce from its low soon. The IMF predicts global growth would reach 3.3 percent in 2020, compared to 2.9 percent in 2019, which was the slowest pace since the financial crisis a decade ago. Estimates for both years were cut by 0.1 percentage point from forecasts made in October. Growth will improve slightly to 3.4 percent in 2021, but that estimate, too, was cut by 0.2 percentage point from October, the Washington-based international crisis lender said. What does this imply for the world? One, we should all brace for a period of low income, fewer jobs and more competition between countries as they vie for more income. Two, it means the world is moving towards a period of uncertainty around traditional business models. The growth forecasts sug- gest technology is slowly hitting traditional ways of doing business. Though it is not vis- ible at the moment, historians would note one day that this slowdown was part of a process that upended businesses through technology Three, the message for India is that it is now a high stakes player in the growth game. What happens here has a global impact. Though this is something to feel great about, India should also note it has to address issues that plague its growth. It has to find ways to put more money into infrastructure projects and generate more jobs. The economy is going through a cycli- cal slowdown. In a few months, it is bound to bottom out and start an upward cycle. India can’t afford to remain a lag- gard for long. Once the trend reverses, it would be embarrassing for India if growth here remains sluggish. A few days from now, the Indian finance minister will present the budget for the next fiscal. The government is trying to turn India into a dollar 5 trillion economy by 2024. But, the bigger challenge is to take the country back to the high growth rates from the past decade. Not just India, but the world awaits. The strategy of lowering taxes for corpo- rations has not worked. It has not led to more investments and jobs. The onus now is on the government to revive the economy and, thus, the global sentiment. W e are aware that in the past years, in urban areas of the country , number of illegal constructions have been raised and even today are being raised speedily, not only be encroach- ing upon government lands but, by the private persons also on their buildings either by raising multi-story constructions or changing the nature and use of building from dwelling house to commercial use, etc. Every day, the news is appearing in the newspapers regarding illegal constructions in big cities. The officers of the concerned State Governments are summoned in the courts and directions are given to them.In this regard, we should abreast ourselves with the latest law laid down by the Su- preme Court of India. In AIR 2013, Supreme Court 1861, Esha Ekta Apartments Co-operative Housing Society Ltd. And Ors. V. Municipal Corporation of Mumbai and Ors., the Supreme Court has delivered a land- mark judgment on the point “whether illegal construction done by the builders by en- croaching upon government land as well as on private land also against bye-laws and by private persons also on their private buildings against bye- laws should be regularized or not” and the Supreme Court had categorically held that the illegal constructions could not be regularized by any authority in any manner and nor could be compounded. The Supreme Court has also observed that in the last five decades, the provisions contained in various municipal laws of planned development of the areas to which such laws are applica- ble have been violated with impunity in all the cities, big or small, and those entrusted with the task of en- suring implementation of the master plan, etc., have miserably failed to perform their duties. Supreme Court has further held that the flat buyers had consciously occupied the flats illegally constructed by the developers/builders and the only remedy available to them is to sue the lessee and the developer/builder for return of the money and/or for damages and they cannot seek a direction for regularization of the illegal and unauthorized made by the developers/ builders. It has also been held that no authority administering municipal laws and other similar laws can encourage the violation of the sanctioned plan. The Supreme Court further held that the Courts are also expected to refrain from exercising equitable jurisdiction for regularization of illegal and unauthorized constructions, else it would encourage violators of the planning laws and destroy the very idea and concept of the planned development of urban as well as rural areas. The ratio of above discus- sions of judgments of the Su- preme Court is that the illegal constructions cannot be regularized or compounded. THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY THE AUTHOR ARE PERSONAL In the case of Friends Colo- ny Development Committee v. State of Orissa (2004) 8 SCC 733, the Supreme Court observed that the builders violate with impunity the sanctioned building plans and indulge in devia- tions much to the prejudice of the planned development of the city and at the peril of the occupants of the premises constructed or of the inhabitants of the city at large. A serious threat is posed to ecology and environment and, at the same time, the infrastructure consisting of water supply, sewage, and traffic movement facilities suffer unbearable burden and are often thrown out of gear.It was further observed in the judgment that unwary purchasers in search of a roof over their heads and purchasing flats/apartments from builders, find themselves having fallen prey and become victims to the de- signs of unscrupulous builders. The builder conveniently walks away having pocketed the money, leaving behind the unfortunate occupants to face the music in the event of unauthorized const ructions being detected or exposed and threat- ened with demolition.In Royal Paradise Hotel (P) Ltd. V . State Supreme Court had categorically held that the illegal constructions could not be regularized by any authority in any manner and nor could be compounded Supreme Court further held that the Courts are also expected to refrain from exercising equitable jurisdiction for regularization of illegal and unauthorized constructions, else it would encourage violators of the planning laws and destroy the very idea and concept of the planned development of urban as well as rural areas construction of Haryana and Ors. (2006) 7 SCC 597, the Supreme Court noted that the construction had been made in the teeth of no- tices issued for stopping the unauthorized construction and held that no authority administering municipal laws can regu- larize the constructions made in violation of the Act.

Similarly, Chattisgarh CM Raman Singh is another leader who could be ‘called’ at the centre, in a ministerial role. With Shivraj Singh already on the board, the possibility of either Raje or Ra- man being inducted in the board remains slim.

However, knowledgea- ble sources reveal that two women politicians will be also be made part of the board. After Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley’s demise the positions are vacant now. Interestingly, it is also being said that two time Rajasthan Chief Minister and BJP national Vice President Vasundhara Raje’s ‘stars’ could also change as in the new political scenario, could be given a major role in the centre, pri- fact that BJP’s parliamentary board is the all-approving institu- tion, which means that although Modi Shah might be running the ‘show’ making decisions of the party, it is the board whose approval brings those decisions to ‘life’, and thus the sanctity of the board.

She was in the Capital to promote her upcoming film ‘Panga’, directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. “There was no ‘panga’. The director left the film (and) I completed it. It was just that.

From Left: KC Maloo, Gaurav Jain, Ravindra Upadhyaya, Mukesh Kumar and Anshu Harsh The Hidden Beauty of Rajasthani Cinema KARISHMA GWALANI cityfirst@firstindia.co.in B ollywood lyricist Kunal Ver- ma shared his journey in an exclusive interview with City First during his visit to the Pink City. On being asked about his visit to Jaipur, the lyricist of ‘Hasi Ban Gaye’ said, “I love the life of Mumbai but I keep coming back to Jaipur because my roots are here.” Kunal has given many super hit songs not just in Bollywood but in Rajasthan too. He has worked with Rapperiya Baalam and Mohit Gaur for many Rajasthani songs. “When I was young, I used to write poetry while listening to the music and eventually, I started growing in- terest in music. Later I realised that poetry is a lot more different than music.”, said the Star Screen Award nominee. The popular song ‘Tum Hi Aana’ from the film ‘Marjaavaan’ is written by Kunal Verma along with many other songs from the movies like ‘Malang’, ‘Street Dancer 3D’, ‘Race 3’, to name a few. On being asked about his music journey in Bollywood, the singer said, “I have always been the best at whatever the work I do, be it a xerox shop employee or a musician. After the success of ‘Hasi Ban Gaye’ song, I came back to Jaipur and suddenly Pritam Da called for a song. I recorded the song on the phone and the very next day, it got selected for the film ‘1920 London’ and that’s when I decided to go back to Mumbai to build my career in the industry.’’ Gaurav Jain also took up the concern and said, “We are lacking behind because we do not appreciate our language. We need to make sure that even our children are aware of the language in- stead of getting startled when they hear someone talking in Rajasthani. It should be in a way that even if we hear someone talking in Rajasthani when we travel abroad, it should be so im- pactful that we get goose- bumps while listening to it.” According Raizada’s point of view, he said, “Our language is not being able to flourish because of the apathy of the government. We have immense talent in Rajasthan but we lack resources.” Adding to the conversation, Mansoor Ali said, “Working under limited resources has also been a reason of hampering the growth of Ra- jasthani cinema and even the government does not pay the much- needed attention to the budget of films.” VANSHIKHA GOUR vanshikha.gour@firstindia.co.in T Cinepolis, World Trade Park.
