एमपी इलेक्शन: सर्वे की कोख से निकली लिस्ट

  Kamal Nath is going out of way to prove he is not anti-Hindu MP Assembly Election Update: 14 October 2023 NK SINGH कमलनाथ के प्लान के मुताबिक काँग्रेस की लिस्ट इस दफा सर्वे-नाथ ने बनाई है। प्रदेश के नेताओं में आम तौर पर सहमति थी कि लिस्ट इस बार सर्वे के आधार पर बनेगी। पर क्या यह महज संयोग है कि यह लिस्ट राहुल गांधी के गेम-प्लान के मुताबिक भी है? वे अपनी पार्टी के क्षत्रपों के कार्टेल को ध्वस्त करना चाहते हैं, जो 10-15 एमएलए के बूते पर प्रदेश की पॉलिटिक्स चलाते हैं। सर्वे की कोख से निकली लिस्ट कमोबेश जीत की संभावना के आधार पर बनी है। एनपी प्रजापति जैसे अपवादों को छोड़कर कोई सप्राइज़ नहीं। बीजेपी की लिस्ट देखते हुए, काँग्रेस इस बार फूँक-फूक कर कदम रख रही थी। भाजपा उम्मीदवारों की पांचों लिस्ट 2018 के मुकाबले काफी बेहतर थी। नाम दिल्ली ने तय किए, प्रदेश के किसी भी नेता के प्रभाव से परे। चयन का आधार गुटबाजी नहीं, जीत की संभावना रही। इसलिए, दोनों तरफ के उम्मीदवारों का लाइन-अप देखकर लगता है, मुकाबला कांटे है। टिकट न मिलने से निराश नेताओं की बगावत का दौर शुरू हो गया है। यह हर चुनाव में होता है।

WHY CITIES IN MP NEED A CRANE BEDI

Roads in MP towns are death traps NK SINGH   Road Transport Ministry’s recently released report analysing road accidents in 2016 did not surprise anyone in Madhya Pradesh. Indore achieved the dubious distinction of being among the top five cities in the country with most dangerous roads. The other cities in that list are metros like Chennai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Kolkata. Kolkata, the smallest of the metros, is two and half times as big as Indore. Bhopal and Jabalpur are vying with Mumbai, six times their size, in accident figures. Roads in MP’s urban areas are virtual death traps. In Bhopal, one of its best planned towns, driving used to be a pleasure. Now it is a pain. Motorists may drive or pedestrians may cross a road only at risk to their lives or limbs. People who suffer most, for no fault of theirs, are the poor pedestrians. They account for 14 per cent of road fatalities in MP, according to a study by National Centre for Human Settlement and Environment. In B

RERA roars in MP, but will it bite?

Light at the end tunnel for home buyers   NK SINGH The project promised to “change the identity” of Bhopal. With 22 floors, Gammon India’s Central Business District in the State capital is the tallest ever high rise of MP. Coming up in downtown Bhopal, the residential-cum-commercial complex is carved out of what once used to be public land. Part of MP Government’s re-densification plan, it was envisaged long before smart city idea came up. Its developers guaranteed “unlimited luxury” and advertised it was not for everyone: “The crème de la crème will be invited to possess it.” Among the people who booked flats are the great and good of the town --- civil servants, doctors, engineers, businessmen. Now 10 years in the making, the project is a towering example of all that is wrong with real estate business in the State. Government allotted land to Gammon in February 2008, a boom period for realty. Under lease conditions, it should have completed by 2013. But slow progres

IS SHIVRAJ'S CHARISMA FADING IN MP?

-
A CM WHO IS 24/7 IN ELECTION MODE NK SINGH Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is known for his ability to garner votes. His vision is transfixed at elections. He eats, drinks and breaths election, say people close to him. His governance is wired to take all decisions from the perspective of popular votes. The Chief Minister is in elections mode, 24/7. He does not take any election, howsoever insignificant, lightly. He is probably the first ever chief minister of MP who has started campaigning even in municipal elections which are often decided by a margin of double digit votes. Most of his predecessors used to consider it below their dignity to campaign in even assembly by-elections. Chouhan goes soliciting votes where even his ministers do not reach. For such a man, a man whose top priority has been winning elections at all costs, the report card that people of Madhya Pradesh handed over to political parties in late August, must have come as a shock t

क्या शिवराज की लोकप्रियता में कमी आ रही है?

-
नरेन्द्र कुमार सिंह मुख्यमंत्री शिवराज सिंह चौहान की ख्याति एक ऐसे नेता के रूप में है जिन्हें वोट बटोरने की कला में महारथ हासिल है. उनकी नजर चौबीसों घंटे चुनावी शतरंज की बिसात पर टिकी रहती है. शिवराज सरकार के हर छोटे बड़े काम का एक ही मक्सद होता है ---- ज्यादा से ज्यादा वोट हासिल करना. कोई भी चुनाव चौहान के लिए छोटा नहीं है. नगर पंचायत के चुनावों तक को वे एक चुनौती के रूप में लेते हैं. प्रतिद्वंदी को कमजोर समझने की गलती आज तक उन्होंने नहीं की है. वे शायद मध्य प्रदेश के पहले मुख्यमंत्री हैं जिन्होंने म्युनिसिपलिटी के चुनाव में भी अपने आप को झोंक दिया है. बड़े नेता ऐसे छोटे इलेक्शन से कतराते हैं क्योंकि अक्सर उनमें फैसला १०० से भी कम वोटों से हो जाता है. उनके पहले के मुख्यमंत्री स्थानीय निकायों के इलेक्शन से इसलिए भी बचते थे क्योंकि ऐसे छोटे मोटे चुनावों में प्रचार करना उनको अपनी तौहीन लगती थी. चौहान तो अक्सर ऐसी जगहों पर वोट मांगते दिख जाते हैं जहाँ उनके मंत्री भी कभी दिखाई नहीं पड़ते थे. इसीका नतीजा है कि वे भाजपा को लगातार दो बार विधान सभा चुनाव में जीत हासिल करवा चुके हैं.

GEMS OF MADHYA PRADESH MINISTRY

Some Ministers dazzle MP with their brilliance NK SINGH Alice was lost in wonderland. Kusum Singh Mahdele is lost in Twitterland. You may not have heard of the lady. She is a senior cabinet minister in Madhya Pradesh Government. Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s advice to use social media, she has taken to twitter like a duck to water. She is a natural. Often irreverent, never boring, she gives as good as she gets. Once the minister informed a polling site that its questions were “idiotic”. After she received flak for mistakenly congratulating fellow politician Kailash Vijaywargiya for getting Nobel Peace Prize, she brazenly tweeted: “What has Kailash Satyarthi done for MP’s children? Even children here do not know.” It is a pity that her twitter handle, @ikusummahdele, has only 855 followers, for she is, frequently, vastly entertaining. Mahdele, BSc, LLB, expresses her opinion on everything under the sun, from politics to diplomacy and from Mother’s Day to vide
