एमपी इलेक्शन: सर्वे की कोख से निकली लिस्ट

Image
  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...

Farmers get Rs 2 as crop insurance in MP

Why every five hours a farmer commits suicide in MP? NK SINGH Madhya Pradesh was the first State in the country to implement NDA Government’s much-touted Prime Minister Crop Insurance Scheme. At the time of its launch last year, farmers were promised the moon. Politicians made them feel that if they buy this insurance, it will be panacea to all their problems. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself came to MP to launch the scheme at a massive function organised in Sehore, the home district of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Explaining salient features of the scheme to farmers Modi declared at Sehore: “It is a historic decision; Even if he happens to be the only farmer who has suffered losses (in that village), he will still get benefit of the insurance scheme.” It turned out to be just another jumlebazi. Buoyed by the Prime Minister’s promise, 36.40 lakh farmers bought insurance for their kharif crop last year. Their heightened expectations were crushed to gro...

Jumlebazi on crop insurance backfires

TOO MUCH PUBLICITY CAN BECOME NEGATIVE PUBLICITY NK SINGH   Companies engaged in c rop insurance business just made a killing in Madhya Pradesh, earning a profit of nearly Rs 1,200 crore in a single season.  They collected premium of Rs 3,000 crore from farmers and government and paid 1,800 crore as insurance benefit to those who suffered kharif damages last year. “The scheme seems beneficial to insurance companies,” says former Chief Secretary of MP, Nirmala Buch, who is passionate about a farm that she cultivates at outskirts of Bhopal.    No one will grudge the profit that the companies made – profit and loss are legitimate business for underwriters – even if it comes out of taxpayers’ money. Farmers are required to pay only one-fifth of premium. Remaining share comes from your and my pockets. The crop insurance scheme is in news because the government walked extra miles for it. The mai-baap sarkar tried to turn something as routine as insurance...
