The SAD lost the Jalalabad seat, that is on the home turf of party president Sukhbir Badal, to the Congress. Manpreet Ayali of the SAD defeated Congress’ Sandhu in Dakha, polling 66,297 votes against 51,625 by his oppo- nent. AAP, that had won the seat in 2017, was placed fourth. Lok Insaaf Party’s Sukhdev Singh Chak was third with 8,437 votes. The Jalalabad seat, vacated by SAD president Sukhbir Badal after he was elected MP, was won by the Congress after 12 years. Congress’ continued on page 13 BJP retains HP’s D’sala, Pachhad Pratibha Chauhan Tribune News Service Shimla, October 24 The ruling BJP retained both seats — Dharamsala and Pach- had — in Himachal Pradesh. What was most humiliating for the Congress was that its Dharamsala candidate Vijay Inder Karan was placed at the third position, having polled 8,212 votes. Independent Rakesh Kumar polled 16,740 votes, while BJP candidate Vishal Nehria won the seat by a margin of 6,758 votes. The results are a shot in the arm for Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur, for whom retaining both seats was a major challenge. The BJP had got almost 70 per cent votes, the highest in the country in the parliamentary polls, earlier this year. Despite faced with rebellion from its own senior leader Dayal Pyari, a three-time zila parishad member, who jumped into the fray as an continued on page 13 Pradeep Sharma Tribune News Service Chandigarh, October 24 All Haryana ministers, except Anil Vij (Ambala Cantt) and Banwari Lal (Bawal), faced defeat. Party bigwigs, including BJP chief Subhash Barala, Prem Lata, wife of Rajya Sabha member Birender Singh, lost the elec- toral battle. Speaker Kanwar Pal Gujjar (Jagadhri), how- ever, made it. The defeat of almost the entire Cabinet, including Ram Bilas Sharma (Mahen- dragarh), Capt Abhimanyu (Narnaud), OP Dhankar (Badli), Kavita Jain (Sonepat), Krishan Lal Panwar (Israna), Manish Grover (Rohtak), Krishan Bedi (Shahbad) and Karan Dev Kamboj (Radaur), set the alarm bells ringing in the BJP, which had set the tar- get of winning 75 seats. Disconnect with the people, ant-incumbency against min- isters (not BJP) and local issues, such as unemploy- ment, seem to have weaned away voters from the saffron party which chose to built its poll narrative around Article 370 and nationalism. Also, while the party failed to consolidate non-Jat and urban votes, unlike the 2014 Assembly polls, the Jats vot- ed for non-BJP candidates, especially in rural constituen- cies, making it tough for “VIP candidates”. This is why per- haps the three tallest Jat BJP leaders — Capt Abhimanyu, Dhankar and Barala — were defeated at the hustings. A senior BJP functionary conceded that “anti-incum- bency because of ministers’ arrogance” had cost the party dear. “We undertook unprece- dented development across the state, yet ministers failed to redress voters’ grievances, apparently due to arrogance and inaccessibility,” he said. Sushil Manav Tribune News Service Chandigarh, October 24 Two of the three internation- al-level sportspersons fielded by the ruling BJP had to bite the dust with former Indian hockey captain Sandeep Singh emerging as the only saving grace for the party. Sandeep, whose biopic “Soor- ma” was a hit, defeated former Speaker HS Chatha’s son Man- deep Chatha of the Congress by 5,314 votes from Pehowa. However, wrestlers Babita Phogat and Yogeshwar Dutt had to taste defeat from Dadri and Baroda Assembly seats, respectively. Phogat finished a distant third with Sombir, an Inde- pendent, defeating Jannayak Janta Party’s Satpal Sang- wan by 14,272 votes. continued on page 13 Shiv Kumar Tribune News Service Mumbai, October 24 The BJP-Shiv Sena alliance is all set to retain power in Maharashtra with the saffron grouping win- ning 161 seats in the 288- member Assembly. Contesting together, the BJP and the Shiv Sena won 105 and 56 seats, respectively, with smaller ally Rashtriya Samaj Paksha bagging a lone seat. The two parties, which con- tested the 2014 elections sepa- rately, had bagged 122 and 63 seats then. The Congress-NCP alliance, which had been written off before the elections, sprang a surprise and improved its tally. NCP leader Sharad Pawar, who led the campaign from the front, ensured that his party won 54 seats while the Congress bagged 44 seats as against 41 and 42 seats in 2014. Smaller out- fits that allied with the two secu- lar parties also bagged six seats. Even before the results were in, Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray reminded Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis about the agreement to share power equally. “We agreed on the 50:50 formula when (BJP president) Amit Shah came to my house. Now is the time to implement the agree- ment,” Thackeray told medi- apersons here. He refused to say whether the two parties had reached an agreement on the post of CM. “We have given a lot of room to the BJP. We contested fewer seats this time, as requested by them. But we cannot give them concessions every time,” he made it clear. Among the big winners today was Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray who won from Worli in Mumbai by nearly 70,000 votes. continued on page 13 HUNG HOUSE BJP 6 short of majority | Key Congress meeting in Delhi today Sushil Manav Tribune News Service Chandigarh, October 24 With the BJP winning 40 seats in the 90-member Haryana Assembly, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khat- tar seems set to head a minor- ity government in the state with the help of Indepen- dents. Though the BJP failed to cross the halfway mark, PM Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah today left nobody in doubt that Khattar would head the gov- ernment in the state. “The people of Maharash- tra and Haryana have reposed their trust in the CMs of the two states and they will work even harder in the next five years to serve them,” the PM said while addressing workers at the BJP headquarters in Delhi. The BJP Parliamen- tary Board authorised Shah to take all decisions regard- ing government formation in Haryana and Maharash- tra. Sources said the CMs of the two states would not be changed. Earlier in the day, with ear- ly trends indicating a close contest between the BJP and Congress, Shah can- celled his prior engage- ments, including an ITBP event, and summoned Khat- tar to Delhi. Sources said Rania Independent MLA Ranjit Singh and Sirsa MLA Gopal Kanda were already on their way to Delhi, accom- panied by a BJP MP, to meet Shah. They are expected to lend support to the party. While the BJP won 40 seats, the Congress sprung a sur- prise bagging 31 seats. Despite PM’s public signal on the formation of a BJP government in Haryana, the Congress kept hopes of a post-poll coalition in the state alive with top leaders urging Opposition unity to keep the saffron brigade at bay. A key Congress meet under party president Sonia Gandhi will be held in Delhi tomorrow to debate the scale of negotiations with poten- tial allies in Haryana. Signif- icantly, Dushyant Chauta- la’s Jannayak Janata Party (JJP), an offshoot of the INLD, won 10 seats while the INLD won the lone Ellen- abad seat. Eight seats went to Independents. CM Khattar retained his Karnal seat with a comfort- able margin. Former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda won the Garhi Sampla-Kiloi seat in Rohtak district with a huge margin of over 58,312 votes. However, Khattar’s ministers Captain Abhi- manyu, OP Dhankar, Ram Bilas Sharma, Kavita Jain, Krishan Lal Panwar, Manish Grover and Krishan Kumar continued on page 13 Congress’ Raminder Awla after winning SAD bastion Jalalabad.

In a state- ment, Khattar said as soon as the BJP once again formed the gov- ernment in Haryana, public proj- ects would be speeded up through an “honest and account- able government.” Former CM Hooda emerges stronger Chandigarh: Former CM Bhupin- der Singh Hooda has emerged stronger. After his party lost power in Haryana in 2014, the 72-year- old satrap had nothing going in his favour. He was booked for alleged land scam and the BJP made it a poll issue. Also, the Congress veter- an remained at loggerheads with earlier state unit chief Ashok Tanwar. Hooda was made CLP Leader only weeks before the polls. “Had the high command giv- en him charge a few months earli- er, Cong performance would have been even better,” said a leader.

Over 98 per cent of panches and sarpanches par- ticipated in the polls. J&K CEO Shailendra Kumar said of 128 blocks in Kashmir division, the BJP won 18, Congress 1 and Inde- pendents 109. “Of 148 blocks in Jammu, BJP won 52 blocks, BSP 8 and Indepen- dents 88.

Chandigarh October 24The poor performance of theAam Aadmi Party (AAP) inthe four state bypoll todayclearly signals the discon-nect of the party with thepeople Not only was the par-ty unable to retain its Dakhaseat which it conceded tothe SAD itrsquos electoral per-formance in the other seg-ments was also dismal

In Phagwara Mukerianand Dakha the party gotless than 3000 votes mark-ing the worst electoral per-formance of the party eversince it made an impressivedebut on Punjabrsquos politicalspectrum in 2014

The total votes polled in itsfavour are less than 20000The AAP vote share in thegeneral elections was 74 asagainst 237 in 2017 Assem-bly polls At its peak in 2014general elections AAPrsquos voteshare was 244 per cent Thisis quite a telling tale on thestatus of a party which pridesin being the ldquoprinciple oppo-sition partyrdquo of Punjab

Though party leaders admit(in private) that these by-elec-tions were being fought onlyto make their presence feltthey need a complete rejuve-nation of their waning cadres

Todayrsquos results are also adefinite referendum on theperformance of state AAPpresident Bhagwant Mann Itwas he who wanted completeautonomy in the Punjabaffairs and was granted com-plete freedom to chose candi-dates campaign and addressissues in these elections Ifcredit for a win were to be histhe responsibility of a drub-bing too is his Perhaps it isalso time for the party tobecome open to sharing ofresponsibilitiespower thanrestricting these in one hand

Harpal Singh Cheemaleader of Opposition told TheTribune that while they

accept the verdict of the peo-ple they would be introspect-ing on where the party wentwrong ldquoWe did relatively bet-ter in Jalalabad where we gotalmost 11000 votes But indays to come we will be re-strategising our political lineand increase our mass voterconnect One reason why peo-ple of Dakha have rejected usis that they felt betrayed byour former MLA HS PhoolkaInterestingly even the BJPhas been rejected by Pun-jabrsquos votersrdquo he said

Chandigarh October 24The Congress performance inHaryana has upset the BJPrsquoscalculations of seamlesslystepping into a second termunder the leadership ofManohar Lal Khattar and theparty seems to have exceededits own expectations thisAssembly election as it cele-brated its resurgence

While the overconfidence ofthe BJP economic slowdownanti-incumbency as also thepoor selection of candidatesare being blamed for the rul-ing partyrsquos performance thenew Dalit-Jat team of HaryanaCongress chief Kumari Seljaand Congress LegislatureParty leader BhupinderSingh Hooda is beingcredited with turn-ing around the for-tunes of the Con-gress in Haryana inover a month

The tallest of Jatleaders in the stateHooda also consid-ered a farmersrsquo leadersupported by a majority ofthe party MLAs struggled fornearly two years to press forformer Congressman and thenstate chief Ashok Tanwarrsquosouster with little success

Finally Hoodarsquos support-ers restless over beingignored began to push him tofloat his own party soon afterthe Lok Sabha electionresults were declared in Maythis year In a weak positionafter having lost the Lok Sab-ha election from the Sonepatseat Hooda suffered a doubleblow when his son and sittingRohtak MP Deepender Hoo-

da also lost the election As Hooda weighed his

options and talk of an inde-pendent political outfitbeing floated under his lead-ership began to gain groundhe summoned a couple ofmeetings as a show ofstrength for the benefit ofthe party high command

He held a final meeting onAugust 18 in Rohtak to chalkout the future course of actionin the face of an indifferentCongress top brass

With the partyrsquos generalsecretary in charge ofHaryana Ghulam Nabi Azadon his side Hoodarsquos wait borefruit when the Congressreplaced Tanwar with Seljaand he was given the status ofCLP leader on September 4 amonth before the Assemblyelections were announced

The new team inherited anumber of challenges withthe Congress divided intonumerous factions and theparty having no organisation-al structure at grass-roots lev-el while the ruling BJP was ona roll after winning all 10 seats

in the Lok Sabha elections Breathing new life into a fail-

ing Congress a rejuvenatedHooda toured the state exten-sively Hoping to consolidatethe Jats behind him after thesplit in the Indian National LokDal Hooda hit the tarmac run-

ning and went about campaign-ing in pockets where his pres-ence would make a differencewhile always keeping the focuson the Deswali belt where hehas considerable sway

Having held various posi-tions in the party includingthat of the state chief from1996 to 2001 Hooda served asChief Minister of the statefrom 2005 to 2014 Soon afterthe BJP assumed power hewas targeted and the CBIslapped cases against himThough his chips were downhe carried on with his strug-gle against the BJP and kept

the fight against Tanwarrsquosouster alive not giving upand not giving in

Sources close to him main-tain that the Congressrsquos per-formance is the conse-quence of Hoodarsquossustained effort to fightagainst all odds whether itwas the CBI cases or thedirection the party was tak-ing under Tanwar With thisspectacular performance bythe party the Congress is outof the woods in Haryana andHooda has consolidated hisposition as a leader who is acut above the rest

Chandigarh October 24The failure of the ruling BJPto consolidate non-Jat votesand the dominant Jat com-munity hitting back at thesaffron party have accountedfor the ldquobelow parrdquo perform-ance of the BJP in theHaryana Assembly elections

This coupled with a lowvoter turnout in the urbanareas considered to be thestronghold of the BJP its fail-ure to polarise the non-Jaturban voters and the domi-nance of local issues asagainst the partyrsquos nationalnarrative centred aroundabrogation of Article 370 inJammu and Kashmir havecontributed to a ldquohungAssemblyrdquo in the state

However the biggest take-away from the election resultsis that the influential Jatswhich constitute around 25

of the total electorate deliv-ered a big blow to the BJPgovernment led by a non-JatChief Minister Manohar LakKhattar especially in the ruralAssembly segments

Riding high on the ldquoModi

non-Jat vote bank to put itselfin a winning position Sincethe rural Assembly segmentswhich have a sizeable Jat votebank accounted for heavyvoting the BJP remained at adisadvantage as compared to

the Opposition parties in therural segments

In fact two Jat leadersBhupinder Singh Hooda(Congress) and DushyantChautala (JJP) who single-handedly led the electioncampaigns of their respec-tive parties as against anarray of star campaigners ofthe BJP led by Prime Minis-ter Narendra Modi havemanaged to pocket nearlyhalf of the 90 seats

While Hooda is consideredto be the tallest Jat leader inthe state Dushyantrsquos JJPhas made major inroads intothe vote bank of its parentorganisation INLD com-prising rural Jat peasantryIn fact this is being reflect-ed in the election results inthe constituencies whichhave sizeable Jat voters asthe Congress and the JJPhave been able to win amajority of these seats

Chandigarh October 24Even as the Congress has per-formed better than peoplersquosexpectations in HaryanaAssembly elections todaydefeat of AICC Media In-charge Randeep Surjewalafrom Kaithal is being consid-ered a big setback for him per-sonally and the party highcommand as well

Surjewala today lost theKaithal seat to Lila Ram Guj-

jar of the BJP by a margin of567 votes Surjewala like for-mer state Congress presi-dent Ashok Tanwar was con-sidered a confidant of Rahul

Gandhi in particular and theGandhi family in general

While Tanwar has alreadybid adieu to the party afterhe was replaced with Kumari

Selja and ignored in distribu-tion of tickets with Surjew-alarsquos defeat it is like com-plete decimation of TeamRahul in the state Congress

At the personal leveltodayrsquos result is the secondelectoral defeat for Surjewalain the year 2019 as he had lostmiserably in the Jind byelec-tion held in January this year

Many were surprised whenSurjewala chose to contestfrom Jind as it is quiteuncommon for a sitting MLA

to contest from another seatin a byelection

During his campaign in JindSurjewala had to assure peoplethat he would quit Kaithal seatif he won the bypoll Howeverhis statement kept hauntingKaithal where Surjewalarsquosopponent alleged that thoughKaithal voters elected himtwice but he had no attach-ment to them

Accepting his defeat Sur-jewala in a tweet thankedthe people of Kaithal

Kaithal loss big setback for Surjewala Congress DID CONSTITUENCY FEEL BETRAYED

During his campaign for Jind bypoll in January Surjewalahad to assure people that he would quit Kaithal seat ifhe won the bypoll

His statement apparently kept haunting Kaithal whereSurjewalarsquos opponent alleged that though Kaithal voterselected him twice he had no attachment to them as hewas ready to sacrifice the seat for Jind

Chandigarh October 24A month after being replacedas state Congress chief byKumari Selja former Memberof Parliament and partyrsquosDalit face for five years AshokTanwar seems to have lost thepolitical battle as results to theAssembly elections came in

From being the Congresstop brass in the state to beingformer Congress chief RahulGandhirsquos blue-eyed boy andrunning the party on his ownterms Tanwar a former stu-dent leader having quit theparty in haste is now virtuallyout in the cold with few takers

His flip-flop attitude sincehe quit the Congress by offer-ing support to the JJP in the

morning and extending coop-eration to the INLDrsquos AbhayChautala in Ellenabad in theevening also sent mixed sig-nals about the direction hiscareer would take

Sources said his only USPduring the elections was thathe was a former Congresschief and was out to get for-mer Chief Minister BhupinderSingh Hooda His diatribeagainst Hooda was lapped up

by rival political parties whonot only extended support toTanwar but welcomed himwith open arms With elec-tions over and results outTanwarrsquos future continues tohang in the balance since hedoes not have any options ifhe is not willing to join a party

Though it is believed thatTanwarrsquos name for the post ofstate president was initiallyforwarded by former ChiefMinister Bhupinder SinghHooda the two soon fell outand were at daggers drawn asthey went public with theircomplaints against each other

Having declared that he doesnot want to join any politicalparty it remains to be seen howhe intends to keep himself rel-evant on the political scene

NewDelhi October 24Terming the Assembly pollresults in Haryana and Maha-rashtra as an ldquounprecedentedvictoryrdquo for the BJP PrimeMinister Narendra Moditoday virtually endorsed thatincumbent Manohar LalKhattar and Devendra Fad-navis in their respectivestates will have a re-run forthe next five years

Addressing party workershere at the BJP headquartersModi said the CMs wereldquofirst-timersrdquo in the govern-ment as they did not haveany experience in governancebefore getting the chance torun the state in 2014 ldquoButwith their dedication andhard work they could winhearts of people for a repeatmandate I wish them all thebest for their second stintrdquo

On the Haryana results thePM said as he knew people inthe state seldom repeat a gov-

ernment but this timearound the BJP could emergethe largest party in theAssembly which is ldquono meanachievementrdquo particularlywhen the Chief Minister andhis team worked with a slen-der majority of only two seats

ldquoThis is no mean achieve-ment as in the last Assemblyelections the party could get33 per cent of votes but thistime it has increased to 36 per-centrdquo he said

Showing no disappoint-ment for the BJP not going

past the half-way mark inHaryana Modi recalled thatthe party played a distant sec-ond fiddle in the state politicsuntil 2014 ldquoThe BJP used tobe offered seats in single dig-its for which the party didnrsquoteven have any choice We

used to feel happy if the partycould win seats in double dig-its In that context the BJPemerging the single largestparty is laudablerdquo Modi said

The PM also stressed Fad-navis proved himself bybecoming the first Chief Min-ister in past 50 years to havecompleted the full five-yearterm ldquoThere were govern-ments with even two-thirdmajority yet there were noChief Ministers in 50 yearswho could complete the fullfive-year termrdquo he said

Earlier the BJP chief AmitShah stressed both Maha-rashtra and Haryana werenrsquottraditional strongholds of theparty ldquoThis is the first victo-ry in the two states in Modi20 The vote share of the BJPin Haryana has gone up by 3 per cent from the 2014 stateelectionsrdquo said Shah whileasserting that the partywould deliver good gover-nance in the state for thenext five years

Modi Shah and its entireleadership are away from theground realities and theircampaigns did not talk aboutpeoplersquos issues Sharma said

Even after ldquomisuserdquo of offi-cial machinery and stateresources in massive cam-paigns in the two states theBJPrsquos vote share fell signifi-cantly he claimed There is aneed to create a massiveawareness programme thatwill come out in the form of a

IAM again confused Should I trycontributing to the economy ofthe country by buying gifts on

Diwali or stick to the long-taken vowto refrain from this useless andpainfully tiring activity

Buying a gift is a tedious exerciseMore than the money involved youhave to invest time in thinking if thegift would be appropriate for the per-son What would suit his taste or whathis household would love to display

Even in case of gifting on generaloccasions like birthdays and anniver-saries you have to be very careful Avase or a bedcover on a birthday orjust anything lying in the house onan anniversary are absolute disas-

ters It is particularly tricky when youwant to pass off something gifted toyou by someone which you yourselfdonrsquot like It is possible that you aregifting back the same suit length thatwas given by the same friend on yourprevious birthday Such passing offof a gift is a social risk

Though a gift is bestowed voluntar-ily it may have an underlying wishand expectation of return Thatwould be the case where gifting isbeing done as a quid pro quo A giftcan also be a thanks-giving act forthe deed done to you by the otherperson perhaps for a service ren-dered free of cost And Diwali is themost opportune time to express grat-itude in the form of a thoughtful gift

Again weird things may happen

You may be the sixth person giving thesame vase or same cake the other per-son has received since morning If youare in public life you may not evenknow the face hidden behind the hugebox that he carries to your room Thewives are also decked up since morn-ing with a tray of sweets and dry fruitsto be offered to the lsquogiftersrsquo knownpersonally or through business cardsstapled on the top of the gift box

Gifting also has its codes A signifi-cant fraction of gifts are unwanted Attimes the giver pays more for theitem than the recipient values A 2009study in the Journal of ExperimentalSocial Psychology found thatalthough givers tend to think a fanci-er expensive gift will be appreciatedmore receivers are happier with

cheaper more practical presentsNathan Novemsky a professor of

marketing at Yale University cau-tions not to overdo the gift wrapPretty wrapping raises expectationsfor a gift and increases the risk ofthe receiver being disappointed ifthe present doesnrsquot live up to theirexpectations A heavy box contain-ing a fluffy cake may result inimmediate disappointment

It also helps to ask what he or shewants because there comes a pointin everybodyrsquos life when you justdonrsquot want any more uselessthough well-intentioned junk

The best I would say is to stayhome away from the market Thisalso will save fuel and the environ-ment from toxic fumes

AFTER two high-profileAssembly elections it mayseem odd to analyse the per-formance of the loser instead

of finding reasons to praise the winnerWell the story of the Opposition snatch-ing defeat from the jaws of victory isinfinitely more interesting than a lack-lustre down-to-the-wire victory for theruling party Despite being two com-pletely dissimilar states Maharashtraand Haryana have thrown up resultsthat have a lot in common while theBJP dropped more than 10 per centseats thereby losing its sheen of invin-cibility in Maharashtra it has lost evenits majority in Haryana Most Haryanaministers have lost again proving thatthe Modi magic is not enough to tideover anti-incumbency In short theabrogation of Article 370 or Hindutvahyper-nationalism is no counter to thelack of governance administrativesloth and representational politicstermed loosely as caste combinations

Yet the Opposition could not winthese elections And the prime reasonis the brand of politics pursued by Con-gress leader Rahul Gandhi who gets itwrong election after election Herefused to anoint a strong satrap forMaharashtra and his antipathy forBhupinder Singh Hooda has cost hisparty the government in Haryana Thisis a strange situation where the pri-mary Opposition partyrsquos leader landsup to perform during the polls only tovanish later leaving the cadre and itsregional leaders in the lurch There issomething seriously wrong with RahulGandhirsquos leadership particularlywhen he is compared with the 78-year-old Sharad Pawar and 72-year-old Hoo-da Pawar single-handedly cam-paigned all across his strongholds inMaharashtra turning the tide in favour

of his party NCP which emerged as thesingle-largest Opposition party

The Congress has always taken thelarger share of seats in the Maharashtraalliance but this time around the NCPhas proven that though it contested alesser number of seats it is the biggerand stronger partner This despite theBJP trying its best to poach and getNCPrsquos second-rung leaders to defectWhat was missing in the campaign forthe Congress was a tall leader whocould sway the masses or concentrateall the anti-government forces factorsand emotions The results could havebeen different had the alliance workedas one under the leadership of PawarBut then Congress president SoniaGandhi could never trust Pawar or forthat matter any organic mass leaderwho could pose a threat to her son

Hooda was on the verge of splittingthe Congress in Haryana until thefirst week of September Rahul Gand-hirsquos chosen men in Haryana AshokTanwar and Randeep Surjewala hadbeen proven disastrous yet the highcommand did its best to push the par-tyrsquos tallest leader out Somehow Hoo-da managed to hang on and his per-formance is actually a bigger setbackto Rahul than to BJP Chief Minister

ML Khattar because Hooda managedto win 100 per cent more seats thanthe Congress did in 2014 Hoodarsquoscomeback could have been morespectacular had he been in the saddleafter Surjewalarsquos miserable defeat inthe bypolls earlier this year

That brings us to the biggest ques-tion what is essentially wrong withRahulrsquos politics He claims to usherin alternative politics of social trans-formation But this cannot beachieved by frequently flying out forvacations and flying in to abuse ModiTransformative politics happens onthe ground and Rahul as a politicianalways relied on others to even man-age Amethi his family inheritancefinally losing it after he threw out theman who worked hard all these yearsfor him A politician who claims torepresent new ideas in politics had torely on Keralarsquos moth-eaten minoritypolitics to re-enter Lok Sabha

So his great disdain for the old guardis just skin-deep or more precisely abundle of prejudices over personalchoices and has nothing to do with pol-itics of probity or justice Most in hiscoterie are just as feudal opportunisticand corrupt as those he dislikes Theonly difference is that his coterie com-

prises inefficient inheritors who can-not win elections or defeat the SanghParivar The worst aspect of Rahulrsquosleadership is his hypocrisy aboutintegrity inheritance and modernityThe Congress has not had new ideaspurges or leaps of faith under his lead-ership Yet neither Sonia Gandhi norPriyanka Vadra campaigned duringthese elections leaving the field openfor Rahul proving once again his pri-macy in the family-run concern

Now that it has been proven that theBJP is indeed vulnerable to anti-incum-bency be it over flood mismanagementin western Maharashtra or governancedeficit in Haryana the Oppositionought to look beyond the Gandhi fami-ly for leadership Pawar MamataBanerjee Jaganmohan Reddy andmany others have already establishedthe fallacy of the familyrsquos claim to theCongress legacy A grand merger of theCongress and its many splinters couldprove a game-changer particularly pro-viding the Opposition the leadershipthat the country sorely lacks now

It is wrong to compare Modi withVladimir Putin or Recep Erdoganbecause the BJP still needs the mobil-ising muscle of the RSS cadre to winelections In this context an effectiveOpposition could always upstage theincumbent with cunning and effi-ciency But that cannot be the Rahul-led Congress Yet the Congressmenthough the best opportunists in Indi-an politics are still not convinced thatthe family is nothing but the sumtotal of satraps without adding any-thing to the party Once this realisa-tion dawns on them the Congress-men ought to drop the burden ofRahulrsquos personal prejudices lookingwithin for a better leader like CaptainAmarinder Singh who keeps per-forming despite Rahulrsquos apathy

If the Congress does not choose anew leader anti-BJP parties as awhole will be forced to thinkbeyond the Gandhi family for thesake of our democracy Finally evenfor opportunistic power-grabbersthese results prove that power iswithin an armrsquos reach for thosewho think dare and take on Modi atthe Centre and in the states

Hit hard by hubrisSetbacks in Haryana Maharashtra a wake-up call for BJP

THE Assembly elections and the Lok Sabha polls are polesapart even if these are held within months of each otherEuphoric over its emphatic victory in the 2019 General Elec-

tion the BJP had conveniently forgotten this basic truism of elec-toral politics The results of the Haryana and Maharashtra Assem-bly polls have bitterly reminded the saffron party that extrapolatingthe bigger battlersquos outcome to that of the smaller one is a perilousstrategy The ruling partyrsquos tally of seats has dropped significantlyin both states The fall has been harder in Haryana where ChiefMinister Manohar Lal Khattar faces a Herculean task cobblingtogether a coalition government In Maharashtra ageing stalwartSharad Pawar has shown the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance that he is noalso-ran even in the twilight of his career

The BJP which had won all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the northernstate in May this year committed the blunder of writing off the belea-guered Congress and the fledgling Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) Withthe Grand Old Partyrsquos high command lying low it all boiled down tohow hard ex-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former Union MinisterSelja could push themselves And both did a fairly good job as theCongress comfortably emerged as the second-largest party mdash quite aturnaround after its forgettable show in the 2014 Assembly electionsAnother key factor was Khattarrsquos failure to dispel the perception thatthe state government was being remote-controlled from New Delhi

The plank of national security had done the trick for the BJP in thisyearrsquos Lok Sabha polls in the backdrop of the Pulwama terror attackand the Balakot airstrikes The party tried to run a similar tape in theAssembly elections where local issues are of paramount importanceIn the self-congratulatory mode after the abrogation of Article 370 theBJP came a cropper in addressing the concerns of farmers and othermajor vote banks The voters of Haryana and Maharashtra havepricked the partyrsquos bubble of invincibility Accepting the mandatewith humility and recalibrating its policies should be the way forwardThere is no room for complacency any more

core base mdash the aam aadmi mdash Arvind Kejriwalrsquos government hadbeen doling out sops in the form of free electricity water and bus ridesfor women to name a few By announcing the decision to grant own-ership rights to those living in illegal colonies a move expected to ben-efit 40-50 lakh people mostly migrants or those belonging to the low-income groups the Centre has tried to steal AAPrsquos thunder WhileKejriwal had accused the Central government of wanting to demolishthese colonies Union Minister Hardeep Puri returned the barb blam-ing AAP for lsquodelayingrsquo the decision It is also significant that while theCentre initiated the NRC to identify lsquonon-citizensrsquo it has opted to bemore inclusive in Delhi electoral gains perhaps the prime mover

The 1797 unauthorised colonies are spread over all 70 constituen-cies with nearly two lakh voters in each constituency The governmenthas said ownership rights would be given to the residents at extreme-ly low rates and the colonies would be categorised depending on thetype of land they have come up on The process is to begin with thedelineation of boundaries for which there was a proposal to use satel-lite images or even drone mapping The Centre has accused the DelhiGovernment of not doing so and seeking time till 2021 The proposaldoes not apply to 69 affluent colonies a major stumbling block earlier

Regularisation may push up property prices but the challengelies in providing infrastructure in a city already stretched to its limits There is a lesson for both the AAP and BJP after the Maha-rashtra and Haryana elections You canrsquot rest on your laurels andtake voters for granted Constant striving and maintaining connectare the only ways not to yield ground

Mr Norton on Lord SinhaMR Eardley Nortonrsquos ill-tempered attack on Lord Sinha in the pages of arecent issue of the Looker On must have been noticed by many It wasreproduced we have not really been able to understand why by almost allIndian-edited papers perhaps with the solitary exception of ourselves MrNorton brought some definite charges against Lord Sinha We are glad tofind that Mr SR Bomanji writing to the press from England nails to thecounter almost all these charges One of these charges was that Lord Sinhawas elected President of the Bombay Congress in 1915 by officialauthority Mr Bomanji who was one of the Secretaries of the ReceptionCommittee says that he knows it as a matter of fact that it was at theearnest request of Sir Pherozeshah Mehta and Sir Dinshaw Wacha backedby Mr Bhupendranath Basu and other Congress leaders that Lord Sinhaultimately agreed to accept the Presidentship of the Congress As regardsthe other charge that Lord Sinha never subscribed to the Congress fundsMr Bomanji writes ldquoI know he personally paid a considerable sum ofmoney to the Congress and paid off a substantial portion of the debt whichthe Bengal Congress Committee owed to the British Committeerdquo On theother charge brought by Mr Norton that Lord Sinha had submitted thedraft of his Presidential address to Lord Carmichael for approval MrBomanji observes ldquoI know it is not true and I speak on the best authorityhe sent to Lord Carmichael a printed copy of his speech when he wassending other copies to the Pressrdquo Any comment on the above is needlessWe hope that Mr Norton will after this withdraw all that he said That isthe only honourable course left open to him

Gifting the big dilemma

Despite a stunning show the Opposition could not taste victory The prime reason the brand of politics

pursued by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi

NOUS INDICARAJESH RAMACHANDRAN

BJPrsquos cloak of invincibility is off but the Opposition is stuck without a leader

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 25 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED

IN the end regardless of the num-bers and the degree of competitionamong the stakeholders it is thespirit of the mandate emanating

from the Maharashtra and HaryanaAssembly polls that is likely to leave itsimprint not only on the states but alsoon the country Every electoral outcomecarries one or more messages for theplayers and the electorate The latestAssembly elections mdash the first to beheld after the BJPrsquos spectacular show-ing in the Lok Sabha polls in May 2019mdash came with a cautionary tale for theruling party valuable counsel for theCongress and hope and optimism forthe regional parties that have emergedas king-makers or pressure groups inboth Haryana and Maharashtra after along spell of a near-hegemonic holdover the polity by the BJP

Dismissed as lsquotiresomely one-sidedrsquo by political pundits and alsquoBJP-all-the-wayrsquo reading by mostpollsters with one honourableexception the results sprang a sur-prise Doubtless the BJP and its allythe Shiv Sena swung Maharashtrafor a second innings but the resulthad a significant subtext

First the BJPrsquos aspirations to sur-pass the Sena that had not been theamenable of partners in Chief Minis-ter Devendra Fadnavisrsquo first tenurewere dashed The BJP barelyreached the three-digit mark

although objectively speaking itcontested fewer seats this time thanit did in 2014 when it went solo andteamed up with the Sena after theelections The BJP and the Senariled each other on quite a few seatswhile on one the allies were pittedagainst one another although theBJP picked up this contentious seat

The debut of Aaditya Thackeray sonof Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was asource of unease for the BJP Aadityawho is on a serious image makeover fora party that was identified withparochialism minority bashing and awarped sense of what lsquoIndiannessrsquowas largely discarded the Senarsquos lega-cy issues such as disrupting Valen-tinersquos Day celebrations and shuttingdown pubs and spoke a modern lan-guage that facilitated a connect withthe new urban demography Aadityarsquoscheerleaders became his ventriloquistsmid-way through electioneering anddemanded that he should be made theCM in sync with the BJPrsquos old formulaof leaving Maharashtra to the Sena andkeeping the Centre Uddhav half-heartedly squashed the demand whilethe BJP insisted that Fadnavis wouldcontinue to helm the coalition

Fadnavis looks a tad vulnerablebecause the BJP has not secured thenumbers it had hoped for certainlynot achieving a tally that would placeit in a commanding position over theSena Worse for Fadnavis the BJPsuffered its losses in Vidarbha hisbackyard (he won from Nagpur southwest) whose farmers were seriouslyimpacted by successive droughts thatFadnavisrsquo flagship irrigation schemeswere unable to mitigate

Although the 36 seats in Mumbaiwere not affected by poor civic infra-structure the environmental damagecaused by the reclamation of forest

land at the Aarey Milk complex forMetro rail expansion and a massivecooperative bank scam that entailedthe loss of lifetime savings for middle-class pensioners the BJP had to forgoseats in the rural areas reinforcingthe trend of a rural-urban divide thatwas manifest in an earlier slew ofAssembly polls held in December2018 While the Congress beset withfactionalism bereft of credible stateleaders and the absence of the Gand-his for the most part from the cam-paign (Rahul Gandhi addressed occa-sional meetings) proved hopelesslyineffective in taking advantage of theanti-incumbency sentiment againstthe Maharashtra government its allythe Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)took as much advantage as its leaderSharad Pawar could in the twilight ofhis political career

The BJP hollowed out to the NCP

spiriting away its local weighty leaderswho controlled the cooperatives andother sources of institutional patron-age to the extent it could Pawar wasnot deterred He soldiered on invokinghis Maratha legacy Perhaps a definingimage of the election was of Pawarcampaigning in heavy rain at Satarawhere the BJP had taken away a stronglocal influencer Udayan Raje Bhosalea descendant of Chhatrapati ShivajiThe combination of sympathy and hispolitical inheritance worked becauseBhosale lost to the NCPrsquos new candi-date The NCP won more seats than theCongress to become the third-largestparty in the new Assembly Howeverthe more significant takeaway from theNCPrsquos showing was that regional lead-ers with a grassroots connect weremore capable of challenging the BJPwhen push came to shove

The BJPrsquos attempts to frame Pawar

and his political confidant PrafulPatel on graft charges and for allegedlinks with the Mumbai underworlddid not upset the NCPrsquos prospectsbecause the allegations were levelledon election eve and smacked of ruth-less cynicism

If the Congress cared to objectivelyanalyse the results of the Maharashtraand Haryana polls two features willnot escape its attention One theyunderscored the indisputable placethat the regional satraps hold irre-spective of how lsquopowerfulrsquo a highcommand might be The performanceput in by Pawar Bhupinder SinghHooda and young Dushyant Chautalaunderscored the importance of identi-fying and nurturing provincial lead-ers Indeed had the Gandhis givenHooda and his son Deepender Hoodaenough political and managerial lati-tude well in advance and not pittedfactions against one another throughrootless players Haryana might haveturned in a different narrative

Second the involvement of theGandhis in these elections was mini-mal Sonia Gandhi and PriyankaGandhi Vadra were absent whileRahul put in a token appearanceWhat did that signify That the Con-gress seriously needed to revisit itscommand structures

For the BJP the takeaways werethat overuse of aggressive national-ism had its limitations economicscannot be decoupled from politicsand the Assembly and parliamen-tary elections are qualitatively dif-ferent Doubtless it has morphed aLok Sabha election into a presiden-tial-style mandate for an individualA state election has its own dynam-ics one of them being that dal-rotiissues take precedence over anoffensive against Pakistan

OLD WARHORSE NCP chief Sharad Pawar with granddaughter Revati Sule He continues to be relevant in Maharashtra politics

The Nationalist CongressParty won more seats than

the Congress to become thethird-largest party in the

new Maharashtra AssemblyHowever the more

significant takeaway fromthe NCPrsquos showing was that

regional leaders with agrassroots connect were

more capable of challengingthe BJP when push

came to shove

THE recent one-on-one talksbetween Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi and Chinese Presi-dent Xi Jinping at Mamallapu-

ram on trade and investment had onetangible outcome There will be a mech-anism in place soon to study the prob-lems pertaining to trade and investmentbetween the two countries It will beimportant to sort out various tradeissues before India accepts the termsand conditions of the mega free tradetreaty the Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership (RCEP) compris-ing 16 countries mdash 10 ASEAN nationsplus China Japan India South KoreaAustralia and New Zealand It will be theworldrsquos biggest economic bloc coveringnearly half of the global economy a littleless than half of the worldrsquos populationand accounting for 39 per cent of theworldrsquos GDP Joining it perhaps willgive India an advantage to negotiate theterms and conditions from within Manymembers of the deal are now quiteimpatient about completing the treatyby November 2019

While it is true that most of the worldtrade is taking place within regionalarrangements and Free Trade Agree-ments (FTAs) India must not be at adisadvantage in opening up to coun-tries that are highly competitive itsmost important competitor is ChinaIndia has to weigh carefully the gainsto be had from signing the treatywhich may mean making itself vul-nerable to having its markets inundat-ed with Chinese goods

The main advantage will be that

India would be able to purchase itsraw material and intermediate goodsat concessional prices from othermembers under the mega FTA On itsown if India has to purchase thesegoods in the international marketsthese would cost much more Interme-diate goods are vital for making Indi-an exports competitive

The other advantage which manyeconomists are pointing out is thatIndia has to integrate itself into theglobal value chains which produceparts of goods in different countriesbut are assembled in a host countrylike China The edge lies in being ableto enter into a chain of global ordersby multinational corporations todeveloping countries to producegoods that are sold internationally

under well-known brand names Mostof the countries to our East are partic-ipating in the global value chains andreaping the benefits of an increase inincome and employment

The treaty may also lead to more FDIinflows from member countries nowthat the government has reduced thecorporate tax rates FDI can create jobsand rev up exports and reverse theeconomic slowdown

In the recent past however accordingto a research paper by Niti AayogIndiarsquos numerous FTAs with regionalpartners have not yielded positiveresults In most cases the FTAs havebeen followed by an increase in importsfrom the partner country India hastrade deficits with 13 member countriesof the RCEP The India-ASEAN FTA

has led to a bigger trade deficit thanbefore With South Korea Japan andThailand too there have been similarresults The surge in imports takesplace as soon as the FTA is concludedbut a similar thrust in exports is miss-ing The auto trigger mechanism ofhigher tariffs proposed by India tocheck the sudden surge in imports maybe ineffective due to lack of monitoringinfrastructure Slack export productionin India is due to lack of competitive-ness in todayrsquos world as shown by theWorld Economic Forumrsquos Global Com-petitiveness Index on which India hasslipped 10 places to the 68th rank

We are losing out to our neighbour-ing countries due to higher logisticscosts and lack of proper port facilitiesthat lead to higher turnaround timefor ships Indian companiesrsquo labourcosts are high because India is notresorting to sweatshop wages On thewhole in terms of quality and pricewe seem to be lagging behind ourneighbours and that is why foreignfirms leaving Chinese shores due tothe US-China trade war and anincrease in tariffs are not coming toIndia Also industrial growth wasonly 11 per cent in August

India has an advantage in servicesexports and has demanded freer move-ment of its service personnel withinthe RCEP and data localisation Thiswill give a boost to our services exportsdespite the language barrier Thisdemand has not been accepted by theRCEP so far All that the treaty wantsIndia to do is to reduce its tariff lines on

80 to 90 per cent of imported goodsReducing tariffs on almost all importswould be like an open invitation to all15 members to flood Indian marketswith their goods India is not able tocompete with China on many itemsand New Zealand in dairy it is this lackof competitiveness which has led togreater unpreparedness for India

First and foremost India has toimprove its industrial growth rapidlywhich may not be easy given our creakyinfrastructure shortage of skilledlabour and complex bureaucracy For allRCEP members except China thedomestic market is small and hencethey need to expand exports and are doing so aggressively China sub-sidises its exports and its financialarchitecture supports export productionmassively Being an authoritarian stateit has a smoother bureaucracy andthere is little scope for disruptions inproduction That is how China hasbecome the worldrsquos biggest exporter

China has to give more access toIndian exports especially of pharma-ceuticals and agricultural productsHopefully the Modi-Xi meeting willlead to addressing the reasons forIndiarsquos ballooning trade deficit of $53billion in 2018-19 There are too manynon-tariff barriers in place in Chinawhich have to be removed whichcould lead to more investment flowsbetween the two countries Otherwiseprogressively low tariff rates whichform the core of the RCEP treaty willseriously hurt our dairy steel MSMEand textile sectors

India must not be at adisadvantage in opening upto countries that are highlycompetitive The countryhas to weigh carefully the

gains to be had fromsigning the treaty under the

Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership

(RCEP) The mainadvantage will be that Indiawould be able to purchase

its raw material andintermediate goods at

concessional prices fromother members

India should tread warily on free trade treaty

FORMIDABLE China subsidises its exports and its financial architecture supports export production massively China is Indiarsquos most important competitor

ldquosupportedrdquo independentsemerged victorious

The BJP even failed to winany seat from the NagrotaAssembly segment which isthe home constituency ofthe sitting Lok Sabha mem-ber Jugal Kishore Sharma

Despite the absence of theopposition candidates theBJP failed to win evenrespectable seats in its bas-tions namely JammuSamba Kathua Udhampurand Reasi districts ExceptKishtwar district the BJPfailed to perform on expect-ed lines in other districts ofthe Jammu province

The Congress which isthe arch-rival of the BJP inthese districts had boy-cotted the elections Despitethis the latter failed to per-form as expected

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

New Delhi October 24In a major setback to tele-com service providers theSupreme Court today ruledthat the Centre was entitledto recover adjusted grossrevenue (AGR) of over Rs92000 crore from them

Allowing the Centrersquosappeal against a TelecomDisputes Settlement andAppellate Tribunalrsquos(TDSAT) order three-judgeBench headed by JusticeArun Mishra upheld thedefinition of AGR formulat-ed by the Department ofTelecom (DoT)

As per the New TelecomPolicy telecom serviceproviders are required toshare a percentage of theirAGR with the governmentas annual licence fee Butthe TDSAT had held thatAGR will include only rev-enue arising from licenceactivities and that capitalassets and receipt from thesale of scrap cannot beincluded in gross revenuefor computation of licencefee The TDSAT had

exempted a large number ofstreams from the definitionof AGR like capitalreceipts bad debt distribu-tion margins to dealersforex fluctuations sale ofscrap and waiver of late fee

Now the top court hasreversed the TDSATrsquos find-ings leading to huge finan-cial burden on telecomservice providers

ldquoWe are of the consideredopinion that interest and

penalty have rightly beenlevied Once an amount ofshortfall has not been paid ithas to carry 50 of the penal-ty on defaulted amount asagreed Thus we find nosubstance in the submissionthat interest penalty andinterest on penalty cannot berealised It is as per theagreementrdquo the top courtsaid adding there was noground to reduce it

Airtel owed Rs 2168213

New Delhi October 24India has jumped 14 places totake the 63rd position on theWorld Bankrsquos ease of doingbusiness ranking released onThursday figuring amongthe top 10 performers on thelist for the third time in a rowmainly due to the successfulimplementation of the Insol-vency and Bankruptcy CodeFinance Minister NirmalaSitharaman today saidefforts will be made to fur-ther simplify the GST whichwould further improveIndiarsquos ranking

Sitharaman also said she ismaking efforts to resolve dif-ferences between the Corpo-rate Affairs Ministry andEnforcement Directorateover the issue of attachmentof property of Bhushan Poweramp Steel Ltd (BPSL) The EDwants to attach the propertyof BPSL under the Preven-tion of Money LaunderingAct (PMLA) while the Min-istry for Corporate Affairs is

opposed to this standJust back from Washing-

ton after meetings withWorld Bank and IMF offi-cials Sitharaman pointedout that India was ranked142nd in 2014 and was at the100thh spot last year Indiais now at the 77th positiondue to reforms in insolven-cy taxation and other areas

However there are appre-hensions that countries tendto game the system becauseof the way in which the rank-ings are compiled Econo-mists have said the legal sys-tems of some countries maylend themselves to higherrates of economic develop-ment but the necessarycausal link between the two

cannot be easily establishedAfter a controversy last year

over higher rankings to Indiaand Chile then World BankChief Economist Paul Romerhad said he did not have ldquocon-fidence in the integrityrdquo of therankings and suggested thatthe data may have been tiltedtowards some countries Buthe later took back his com-ments and resigned

However the rankingsbring some relief to the coun-tryrsquos financial managers whohave to contend with the dis-appointment of RBI WorldBank and IMF slashing eco-nomic growth forecasts

ldquoThis is the third year in arow that India makes to top10 in Doing Business whichis a success which very fewcountries have done over the20 years of the project With-out exception the othercountries that have done thisare very small population-wise and homogeneousrdquoSimeon Djankov WorldBankrsquos Director of Develop-ment Economics said

Chandigarh October 24In a major setback to the BJPambitions for 2022 VidhanSabha polls in Punjab theparty did not win a singleseat out of the two it contest-ed in the bypolls in the state

The result has weakened thepartyrsquos bargaining power vis avis its ally the SAD The devel-opment gains relevance incontext of the state presidentShwait Malik during recenttimes openly underlining theparty demand for a much big-ger party share in the alliance

Partys ex-state chief KamalSharma had recently said theterms for alliance related tothe seat sharing should berevised Another ex-presi-dent Madan Mohan Mittalrecently said the party shouldnot be seen as a junior part-ner in the alliance

The SAD-BJP alliance ratiofor the Vidhan Sabha pollscurrently was 9423 and forthe Lok Sabha 103

The party MLAs electedduring the last Vidhan Sab-ha elections were SomParkash (Phagwara) DineshBabbu (Sujanpur) and ArunNarang (Abohar) The seatheld by Som Parkash wasvacated after he was electedto the Lok Sabha The partynominated Rajesh Bagha for

the byelection ldquoThe party campaign could

not gain ground because theseat was being eyed by SomParkash for his wife and byformer state president and MPVijay Sampla for his sonrdquo a for-mer state party president said

The BJP candidate JangiLal Mahajan did put up atough fight on the Mukerianseat against Congress candi-date Indu Bala However shewon a big public sympathy inname of her husband RajnishBabbi the MLA who expiredrecently

To top it all in strengthen-ing the SAD position Man-preet Ayali won the Dakhaseat against the strong Con-gress candidate of CaptSandeep Sandhu whobelonged to the coterie clos-est to Chief Minister CaptAmarinder Singh

Chandigarh October 24The poor performance of theAam Aadmi Party (AAP) inthe four state bypoll todayclearly signals the discon-nect of the party with thepeople Not only was the par-ty unable to retain its Dakhaseat which it conceded tothe SAD itrsquos electoral per-formance in the other seg-ments was also dismal

In Phagwara Mukerianand Dakha the party gotless than 3000 votes mark-ing the worst electoral per-formance of the party eversince it made an impressivedebut on Punjabrsquos politicalspectrum in 2014

The total votes polled in itsfavour are less than 20000The AAP vote share in thegeneral elections was 74 asagainst 237 in 2017 Assem-bly polls At its peak in 2014general elections AAPrsquos voteshare was 244 per cent Thisis quite a telling tale on thestatus of a party which pridesin being the ldquoprinciple oppo-sition partyrdquo of Punjab

Though party leaders admit(in private) that these by-elec-tions were being fought onlyto make their presence feltthey need a complete rejuve-nation of their waning cadres

Todayrsquos results are also adefinite referendum on theperformance of state AAPpresident Bhagwant Mann Itwas he who wanted completeautonomy in the Punjabaffairs and was granted com-plete freedom to chose candi-dates campaign and addressissues in these elections Ifcredit for a win were to be histhe responsibility of a drub-bing too is his Perhaps it isalso time for the party tobecome open to sharing ofresponsibilitiespower thanrestricting these in one hand

Harpal Singh Cheemaleader of Opposition told TheTribune that while they

accept the verdict of the peo-ple they would be introspect-ing on where the party wentwrong ldquoWe did relatively bet-ter in Jalalabad where we gotalmost 11000 votes But indays to come we will be re-strategising our political lineand increase our mass voterconnect One reason why peo-ple of Dakha have rejected usis that they felt betrayed byour former MLA HS PhoolkaInterestingly even the BJPhas been rejected by Pun-jabrsquos votersrdquo he said

Chandigarh October 24The Congress performance inHaryana has upset the BJPrsquoscalculations of seamlesslystepping into a second termunder the leadership ofManohar Lal Khattar and theparty seems to have exceededits own expectations thisAssembly election as it cele-brated its resurgence

While the overconfidence ofthe BJP economic slowdownanti-incumbency as also thepoor selection of candidatesare being blamed for the rul-ing partyrsquos performance thenew Dalit-Jat team of HaryanaCongress chief Kumari Seljaand Congress LegislatureParty leader BhupinderSingh Hooda is beingcredited with turn-ing around the for-tunes of the Con-gress in Haryana inover a month

The tallest of Jatleaders in the stateHooda also consid-ered a farmersrsquo leadersupported by a majority ofthe party MLAs struggled fornearly two years to press forformer Congressman and thenstate chief Ashok Tanwarrsquosouster with little success

Finally Hoodarsquos support-ers restless over beingignored began to push him tofloat his own party soon afterthe Lok Sabha electionresults were declared in Maythis year In a weak positionafter having lost the Lok Sab-ha election from the Sonepatseat Hooda suffered a doubleblow when his son and sittingRohtak MP Deepender Hoo-

da also lost the election As Hooda weighed his

options and talk of an inde-pendent political outfitbeing floated under his lead-ership began to gain groundhe summoned a couple ofmeetings as a show ofstrength for the benefit ofthe party high command

He held a final meeting onAugust 18 in Rohtak to chalkout the future course of actionin the face of an indifferentCongress top brass

With the partyrsquos generalsecretary in charge ofHaryana Ghulam Nabi Azadon his side Hoodarsquos wait borefruit when the Congressreplaced Tanwar with Seljaand he was given the status ofCLP leader on September 4 amonth before the Assemblyelections were announced

ning and went about campaign-ing in pockets where his pres-ence would make a differencewhile always keeping the focuson the Deswali belt where hehas considerable sway

Having held various posi-tions in the party includingthat of the state chief from1996 to 2001 Hooda served asChief Minister of the statefrom 2005 to 2014 Soon afterthe BJP assumed power hewas targeted and the CBIslapped cases against himThough his chips were downhe carried on with his strug-gle against the BJP and kept

the fight against Tanwarrsquosouster alive not giving upand not giving in

Sources close to him main-tain that the Congressrsquos per-formance is the conse-quence of Hoodarsquossustained effort to fightagainst all odds whether itwas the CBI cases or thedirection the party was tak-ing under Tanwar With thisspectacular performance bythe party the Congress is outof the woods in Haryana andHooda has consolidated hisposition as a leader who is acut above the rest

Chandigarh October 24The failure of the ruling BJPto consolidate non-Jat votesand the dominant Jat com-munity hitting back at thesaffron party have accountedfor the ldquobelow parrdquo perform-ance of the BJP in theHaryana Assembly elections

This coupled with a lowvoter turnout in the urbanareas considered to be thestronghold of the BJP its fail-ure to polarise the non-Jaturban voters and the domi-nance of local issues asagainst the partyrsquos nationalnarrative centred aroundabrogation of Article 370 inJammu and Kashmir havecontributed to a ldquohungAssemblyrdquo in the state

However the biggest take-away from the election resultsis that the influential Jatswhich constitute around 25

of the total electorate deliv-ered a big blow to the BJPgovernment led by a non-JatChief Minister Manohar LakKhattar especially in the ruralAssembly segments

Riding high on the ldquoModi

waverdquo and polarisation ofnon-Jat and urban votes theBJP had formed the firstgovernment in the state inthe 2014 Assembly elections

This time around the partyhas failed to consolidate the

non-Jat vote bank to put itselfin a winning position Sincethe rural Assembly segmentswhich have a sizeable Jat votebank accounted for heavyvoting the BJP remained at adisadvantage as compared to

the Opposition parties in therural segments

In fact two Jat leadersBhupinder Singh Hooda(Congress) and DushyantChautala (JJP) who single-handedly led the electioncampaigns of their respec-tive parties as against anarray of star campaigners ofthe BJP led by Prime Minis-ter Narendra Modi havemanaged to pocket nearlyhalf of the 90 seats

While Hooda is consideredto be the tallest Jat leader inthe state Dushyantrsquos JJPhas made major inroads intothe vote bank of its parentorganisation INLD com-prising rural Jat peasantryIn fact this is being reflect-ed in the election results inthe constituencies whichhave sizeable Jat voters asthe Congress and the JJPhave been able to win amajority of these seats

jar of the BJP by a margin of567 votes Surjewala like for-mer state Congress presi-dent Ashok Tanwar was con-sidered a confidant of Rahul

Gandhi in particular and theGandhi family in general

While Tanwar has alreadybid adieu to the party afterhe was replaced with Kumari

Selja and ignored in distribu-tion of tickets with Surjew-alarsquos defeat it is like com-plete decimation of TeamRahul in the state Congress

At the personal leveltodayrsquos result is the secondelectoral defeat for Surjewalain the year 2019 as he had lostmiserably in the Jind byelec-tion held in January this year

Many were surprised whenSurjewala chose to contestfrom Jind as it is quiteuncommon for a sitting MLA

Chandigarh October 24A month after being replacedas state Congress chief byKumari Selja former Memberof Parliament and partyrsquosDalit face for five years AshokTanwar seems to have lost thepolitical battle as results to theAssembly elections came in

From being the Congresstop brass in the state to beingformer Congress chief RahulGandhirsquos blue-eyed boy andrunning the party on his ownterms Tanwar a former stu-dent leader having quit theparty in haste is now virtuallyout in the cold with few takers

His flip-flop attitude sincehe quit the Congress by offer-ing support to the JJP in the

morning and extending coop-eration to the INLDrsquos AbhayChautala in Ellenabad in theevening also sent mixed sig-nals about the direction hiscareer would take

Sources said his only USPduring the elections was thathe was a former Congresschief and was out to get for-mer Chief Minister BhupinderSingh Hooda His diatribeagainst Hooda was lapped up

by rival political parties whonot only extended support toTanwar but welcomed himwith open arms With elec-tions over and results outTanwarrsquos future continues tohang in the balance since hedoes not have any options ifhe is not willing to join a party

Though it is believed thatTanwarrsquos name for the post ofstate president was initiallyforwarded by former ChiefMinister Bhupinder SinghHooda the two soon fell outand were at daggers drawn asthey went public with theircomplaints against each other

Having declared that he doesnot want to join any politicalparty it remains to be seen howhe intends to keep himself rel-evant on the political scene

NewDelhi October 24Terming the Assembly pollresults in Haryana and Maha-rashtra as an ldquounprecedentedvictoryrdquo for the BJP PrimeMinister Narendra Moditoday virtually endorsed thatincumbent Manohar LalKhattar and Devendra Fad-navis in their respectivestates will have a re-run forthe next five years

Addressing party workershere at the BJP headquartersModi said the CMs wereldquofirst-timersrdquo in the govern-ment as they did not haveany experience in governancebefore getting the chance torun the state in 2014 ldquoButwith their dedication andhard work they could winhearts of people for a repeatmandate I wish them all thebest for their second stintrdquo

On the Haryana results thePM said as he knew people inthe state seldom repeat a gov-

ernment but this timearound the BJP could emergethe largest party in theAssembly which is ldquono meanachievementrdquo particularlywhen the Chief Minister andhis team worked with a slen-der majority of only two seats

ldquoThis is no mean achieve-ment as in the last Assemblyelections the party could get33 per cent of votes but thistime it has increased to 36 per-centrdquo he said

Showing no disappoint-ment for the BJP not going

past the half-way mark inHaryana Modi recalled thatthe party played a distant sec-ond fiddle in the state politicsuntil 2014 ldquoThe BJP used tobe offered seats in single dig-its for which the party didnrsquoteven have any choice We

used to feel happy if the partycould win seats in double dig-its In that context the BJPemerging the single largestparty is laudablerdquo Modi said

The PM also stressed Fad-navis proved himself bybecoming the first Chief Min-ister in past 50 years to havecompleted the full five-yearterm ldquoThere were govern-ments with even two-thirdmajority yet there were noChief Ministers in 50 yearswho could complete the fullfive-year termrdquo he said

Earlier the BJP chief AmitShah stressed both Maha-rashtra and Haryana werenrsquottraditional strongholds of theparty ldquoThis is the first victo-ry in the two states in Modi20 The vote share of the BJPin Haryana has gone up by 3 per cent from the 2014 stateelectionsrdquo said Shah whileasserting that the partywould deliver good gover-nance in the state for thenext five years

Modi Shah and its entireleadership are away from theground realities and theircampaigns did not talk aboutpeoplersquos issues Sharma said

Even after ldquomisuserdquo of offi-cial machinery and stateresources in massive cam-paigns in the two states theBJPrsquos vote share fell signifi-cantly he claimed There is aneed to create a massiveawareness programme thatwill come out in the form of a

IAM again confused Should I trycontributing to the economy ofthe country by buying gifts on

Diwali or stick to the long-taken vowto refrain from this useless andpainfully tiring activity

Buying a gift is a tedious exerciseMore than the money involved youhave to invest time in thinking if thegift would be appropriate for the per-son What would suit his taste or whathis household would love to display

Even in case of gifting on generaloccasions like birthdays and anniver-saries you have to be very careful Avase or a bedcover on a birthday orjust anything lying in the house onan anniversary are absolute disas-

ters It is particularly tricky when youwant to pass off something gifted toyou by someone which you yourselfdonrsquot like It is possible that you aregifting back the same suit length thatwas given by the same friend on yourprevious birthday Such passing offof a gift is a social risk

Though a gift is bestowed voluntar-ily it may have an underlying wishand expectation of return Thatwould be the case where gifting isbeing done as a quid pro quo A giftcan also be a thanks-giving act forthe deed done to you by the otherperson perhaps for a service ren-dered free of cost And Diwali is themost opportune time to express grat-itude in the form of a thoughtful gift

Again weird things may happen

You may be the sixth person giving thesame vase or same cake the other per-son has received since morning If youare in public life you may not evenknow the face hidden behind the hugebox that he carries to your room Thewives are also decked up since morn-ing with a tray of sweets and dry fruitsto be offered to the lsquogiftersrsquo knownpersonally or through business cardsstapled on the top of the gift box

Gifting also has its codes A signifi-cant fraction of gifts are unwanted Attimes the giver pays more for theitem than the recipient values A 2009study in the Journal of ExperimentalSocial Psychology found thatalthough givers tend to think a fanci-er expensive gift will be appreciatedmore receivers are happier with

cheaper more practical presentsNathan Novemsky a professor of

marketing at Yale University cau-tions not to overdo the gift wrapPretty wrapping raises expectationsfor a gift and increases the risk ofthe receiver being disappointed ifthe present doesnrsquot live up to theirexpectations A heavy box contain-ing a fluffy cake may result inimmediate disappointment

It also helps to ask what he or shewants because there comes a pointin everybodyrsquos life when you justdonrsquot want any more uselessthough well-intentioned junk

The best I would say is to stayhome away from the market Thisalso will save fuel and the environ-ment from toxic fumes

AFTER two high-profileAssembly elections it mayseem odd to analyse the per-formance of the loser instead

of finding reasons to praise the winnerWell the story of the Opposition snatch-ing defeat from the jaws of victory isinfinitely more interesting than a lack-lustre down-to-the-wire victory for theruling party Despite being two com-pletely dissimilar states Maharashtraand Haryana have thrown up resultsthat have a lot in common while theBJP dropped more than 10 per centseats thereby losing its sheen of invin-cibility in Maharashtra it has lost evenits majority in Haryana Most Haryanaministers have lost again proving thatthe Modi magic is not enough to tideover anti-incumbency In short theabrogation of Article 370 or Hindutvahyper-nationalism is no counter to thelack of governance administrativesloth and representational politicstermed loosely as caste combinations

Yet the Opposition could not winthese elections And the prime reasonis the brand of politics pursued by Con-gress leader Rahul Gandhi who gets itwrong election after election Herefused to anoint a strong satrap forMaharashtra and his antipathy forBhupinder Singh Hooda has cost hisparty the government in Haryana Thisis a strange situation where the pri-mary Opposition partyrsquos leader landsup to perform during the polls only tovanish later leaving the cadre and itsregional leaders in the lurch There issomething seriously wrong with RahulGandhirsquos leadership particularlywhen he is compared with the 78-year-old Sharad Pawar and 72-year-old Hoo-da Pawar single-handedly cam-paigned all across his strongholds inMaharashtra turning the tide in favour

of his party NCP which emerged as thesingle-largest Opposition party

The Congress has always taken thelarger share of seats in the Maharashtraalliance but this time around the NCPhas proven that though it contested alesser number of seats it is the biggerand stronger partner This despite theBJP trying its best to poach and getNCPrsquos second-rung leaders to defectWhat was missing in the campaign forthe Congress was a tall leader whocould sway the masses or concentrateall the anti-government forces factorsand emotions The results could havebeen different had the alliance workedas one under the leadership of PawarBut then Congress president SoniaGandhi could never trust Pawar or forthat matter any organic mass leaderwho could pose a threat to her son

Hooda was on the verge of splittingthe Congress in Haryana until thefirst week of September Rahul Gand-hirsquos chosen men in Haryana AshokTanwar and Randeep Surjewala hadbeen proven disastrous yet the highcommand did its best to push the par-tyrsquos tallest leader out Somehow Hoo-da managed to hang on and his per-formance is actually a bigger setbackto Rahul than to BJP Chief Minister

ML Khattar because Hooda managedto win 100 per cent more seats thanthe Congress did in 2014 Hoodarsquoscomeback could have been morespectacular had he been in the saddleafter Surjewalarsquos miserable defeat inthe bypolls earlier this year

That brings us to the biggest ques-tion what is essentially wrong withRahulrsquos politics He claims to usherin alternative politics of social trans-formation But this cannot beachieved by frequently flying out forvacations and flying in to abuse ModiTransformative politics happens onthe ground and Rahul as a politicianalways relied on others to even man-age Amethi his family inheritancefinally losing it after he threw out theman who worked hard all these yearsfor him A politician who claims torepresent new ideas in politics had torely on Keralarsquos moth-eaten minoritypolitics to re-enter Lok Sabha

So his great disdain for the old guardis just skin-deep or more precisely abundle of prejudices over personalchoices and has nothing to do with pol-itics of probity or justice Most in hiscoterie are just as feudal opportunisticand corrupt as those he dislikes Theonly difference is that his coterie com-

prises inefficient inheritors who can-not win elections or defeat the SanghParivar The worst aspect of Rahulrsquosleadership is his hypocrisy aboutintegrity inheritance and modernityThe Congress has not had new ideaspurges or leaps of faith under his lead-ership Yet neither Sonia Gandhi norPriyanka Vadra campaigned duringthese elections leaving the field openfor Rahul proving once again his pri-macy in the family-run concern

Now that it has been proven that theBJP is indeed vulnerable to anti-incum-bency be it over flood mismanagementin western Maharashtra or governancedeficit in Haryana the Oppositionought to look beyond the Gandhi fami-ly for leadership Pawar MamataBanerjee Jaganmohan Reddy andmany others have already establishedthe fallacy of the familyrsquos claim to theCongress legacy A grand merger of theCongress and its many splinters couldprove a game-changer particularly pro-viding the Opposition the leadershipthat the country sorely lacks now

It is wrong to compare Modi withVladimir Putin or Recep Erdoganbecause the BJP still needs the mobil-ising muscle of the RSS cadre to winelections In this context an effectiveOpposition could always upstage theincumbent with cunning and effi-ciency But that cannot be the Rahul-led Congress Yet the Congressmenthough the best opportunists in Indi-an politics are still not convinced thatthe family is nothing but the sumtotal of satraps without adding any-thing to the party Once this realisa-tion dawns on them the Congress-men ought to drop the burden ofRahulrsquos personal prejudices lookingwithin for a better leader like CaptainAmarinder Singh who keeps per-forming despite Rahulrsquos apathy

If the Congress does not choose anew leader anti-BJP parties as awhole will be forced to thinkbeyond the Gandhi family for thesake of our democracy Finally evenfor opportunistic power-grabbersthese results prove that power iswithin an armrsquos reach for thosewho think dare and take on Modi atthe Centre and in the states

Hit hard by hubrisSetbacks in Haryana Maharashtra a wake-up call for BJP

THE Assembly elections and the Lok Sabha polls are polesapart even if these are held within months of each otherEuphoric over its emphatic victory in the 2019 General Elec-

tion the BJP had conveniently forgotten this basic truism of elec-toral politics The results of the Haryana and Maharashtra Assem-bly polls have bitterly reminded the saffron party that extrapolatingthe bigger battlersquos outcome to that of the smaller one is a perilousstrategy The ruling partyrsquos tally of seats has dropped significantlyin both states The fall has been harder in Haryana where ChiefMinister Manohar Lal Khattar faces a Herculean task cobblingtogether a coalition government In Maharashtra ageing stalwartSharad Pawar has shown the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance that he is noalso-ran even in the twilight of his career

The BJP which had won all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the northernstate in May this year committed the blunder of writing off the belea-guered Congress and the fledgling Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) Withthe Grand Old Partyrsquos high command lying low it all boiled down tohow hard ex-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former Union MinisterSelja could push themselves And both did a fairly good job as theCongress comfortably emerged as the second-largest party mdash quite aturnaround after its forgettable show in the 2014 Assembly electionsAnother key factor was Khattarrsquos failure to dispel the perception thatthe state government was being remote-controlled from New Delhi

The plank of national security had done the trick for the BJP in thisyearrsquos Lok Sabha polls in the backdrop of the Pulwama terror attackand the Balakot airstrikes The party tried to run a similar tape in theAssembly elections where local issues are of paramount importanceIn the self-congratulatory mode after the abrogation of Article 370 theBJP came a cropper in addressing the concerns of farmers and othermajor vote banks The voters of Haryana and Maharashtra havepricked the partyrsquos bubble of invincibility Accepting the mandatewith humility and recalibrating its policies should be the way forwardThere is no room for complacency any more

Regularising illegal coloniesPopulism apart providing amenities a major challenge

BY approving the proposal to regularise unauthorised colonies inDelhi the Centre has sought to trump the ruling AAP ahead ofthe Assembly elections slated for February 2020 To address its

core base mdash the aam aadmi mdash Arvind Kejriwalrsquos government hadbeen doling out sops in the form of free electricity water and bus ridesfor women to name a few By announcing the decision to grant own-ership rights to those living in illegal colonies a move expected to ben-efit 40-50 lakh people mostly migrants or those belonging to the low-income groups the Centre has tried to steal AAPrsquos thunder WhileKejriwal had accused the Central government of wanting to demolishthese colonies Union Minister Hardeep Puri returned the barb blam-ing AAP for lsquodelayingrsquo the decision It is also significant that while theCentre initiated the NRC to identify lsquonon-citizensrsquo it has opted to bemore inclusive in Delhi electoral gains perhaps the prime mover

The 1797 unauthorised colonies are spread over all 70 constituen-cies with nearly two lakh voters in each constituency The governmenthas said ownership rights would be given to the residents at extreme-ly low rates and the colonies would be categorised depending on thetype of land they have come up on The process is to begin with thedelineation of boundaries for which there was a proposal to use satel-lite images or even drone mapping The Centre has accused the DelhiGovernment of not doing so and seeking time till 2021 The proposaldoes not apply to 69 affluent colonies a major stumbling block earlier

Regularisation may push up property prices but the challengelies in providing infrastructure in a city already stretched to its limits There is a lesson for both the AAP and BJP after the Maha-rashtra and Haryana elections You canrsquot rest on your laurels andtake voters for granted Constant striving and maintaining connectare the only ways not to yield ground

Despite a stunning show the Opposition could not taste victory The prime reason the brand of politics

pursued by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi

NOUS INDICARAJESH RAMACHANDRAN

BJPrsquos cloak of invincibility is off but the Opposition is stuck without a leader

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 25 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED

IN the end regardless of the num-bers and the degree of competitionamong the stakeholders it is thespirit of the mandate emanating

from the Maharashtra and HaryanaAssembly polls that is likely to leave itsimprint not only on the states but alsoon the country Every electoral outcomecarries one or more messages for theplayers and the electorate The latestAssembly elections mdash the first to beheld after the BJPrsquos spectacular show-ing in the Lok Sabha polls in May 2019mdash came with a cautionary tale for theruling party valuable counsel for theCongress and hope and optimism forthe regional parties that have emergedas king-makers or pressure groups inboth Haryana and Maharashtra after along spell of a near-hegemonic holdover the polity by the BJP

Dismissed as lsquotiresomely one-sidedrsquo by political pundits and alsquoBJP-all-the-wayrsquo reading by mostpollsters with one honourableexception the results sprang a sur-prise Doubtless the BJP and its allythe Shiv Sena swung Maharashtrafor a second innings but the resulthad a significant subtext

First the BJPrsquos aspirations to sur-pass the Sena that had not been theamenable of partners in Chief Minis-ter Devendra Fadnavisrsquo first tenurewere dashed The BJP barelyreached the three-digit mark

although objectively speaking itcontested fewer seats this time thanit did in 2014 when it went solo andteamed up with the Sena after theelections The BJP and the Senariled each other on quite a few seatswhile on one the allies were pittedagainst one another although theBJP picked up this contentious seat

The debut of Aaditya Thackeray sonof Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was asource of unease for the BJP Aadityawho is on a serious image makeover fora party that was identified withparochialism minority bashing and awarped sense of what lsquoIndiannessrsquowas largely discarded the Senarsquos lega-cy issues such as disrupting Valen-tinersquos Day celebrations and shuttingdown pubs and spoke a modern lan-guage that facilitated a connect withthe new urban demography Aadityarsquoscheerleaders became his ventriloquistsmid-way through electioneering anddemanded that he should be made theCM in sync with the BJPrsquos old formulaof leaving Maharashtra to the Sena andkeeping the Centre Uddhav half-heartedly squashed the demand whilethe BJP insisted that Fadnavis wouldcontinue to helm the coalition

Fadnavis looks a tad vulnerablebecause the BJP has not secured thenumbers it had hoped for certainlynot achieving a tally that would placeit in a commanding position over theSena Worse for Fadnavis the BJPsuffered its losses in Vidarbha hisbackyard (he won from Nagpur southwest) whose farmers were seriouslyimpacted by successive droughts thatFadnavisrsquo flagship irrigation schemeswere unable to mitigate

Although the 36 seats in Mumbaiwere not affected by poor civic infra-structure the environmental damagecaused by the reclamation of forest

land at the Aarey Milk complex forMetro rail expansion and a massivecooperative bank scam that entailedthe loss of lifetime savings for middle-class pensioners the BJP had to forgoseats in the rural areas reinforcingthe trend of a rural-urban divide thatwas manifest in an earlier slew ofAssembly polls held in December2018 While the Congress beset withfactionalism bereft of credible stateleaders and the absence of the Gand-his for the most part from the cam-paign (Rahul Gandhi addressed occa-sional meetings) proved hopelesslyineffective in taking advantage of theanti-incumbency sentiment againstthe Maharashtra government its allythe Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)took as much advantage as its leaderSharad Pawar could in the twilight ofhis political career

The BJP hollowed out to the NCP

spiriting away its local weighty leaderswho controlled the cooperatives andother sources of institutional patron-age to the extent it could Pawar wasnot deterred He soldiered on invokinghis Maratha legacy Perhaps a definingimage of the election was of Pawarcampaigning in heavy rain at Satarawhere the BJP had taken away a stronglocal influencer Udayan Raje Bhosalea descendant of Chhatrapati ShivajiThe combination of sympathy and hispolitical inheritance worked becauseBhosale lost to the NCPrsquos new candi-date The NCP won more seats than theCongress to become the third-largestparty in the new Assembly Howeverthe more significant takeaway from theNCPrsquos showing was that regional lead-ers with a grassroots connect weremore capable of challenging the BJPwhen push came to shove

The BJPrsquos attempts to frame Pawar

and his political confidant PrafulPatel on graft charges and for allegedlinks with the Mumbai underworlddid not upset the NCPrsquos prospectsbecause the allegations were levelledon election eve and smacked of ruth-less cynicism

If the Congress cared to objectivelyanalyse the results of the Maharashtraand Haryana polls two features willnot escape its attention One theyunderscored the indisputable placethat the regional satraps hold irre-spective of how lsquopowerfulrsquo a highcommand might be The performanceput in by Pawar Bhupinder SinghHooda and young Dushyant Chautalaunderscored the importance of identi-fying and nurturing provincial lead-ers Indeed had the Gandhis givenHooda and his son Deepender Hoodaenough political and managerial lati-tude well in advance and not pittedfactions against one another throughrootless players Haryana might haveturned in a different narrative

Second the involvement of theGandhis in these elections was mini-mal Sonia Gandhi and PriyankaGandhi Vadra were absent whileRahul put in a token appearanceWhat did that signify That the Con-gress seriously needed to revisit itscommand structures

For the BJP the takeaways werethat overuse of aggressive national-ism had its limitations economicscannot be decoupled from politicsand the Assembly and parliamen-tary elections are qualitatively dif-ferent Doubtless it has morphed aLok Sabha election into a presiden-tial-style mandate for an individualA state election has its own dynam-ics one of them being that dal-rotiissues take precedence over anoffensive against Pakistan

THE recent one-on-one talksbetween Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi and Chinese Presi-dent Xi Jinping at Mamallapu-

ram on trade and investment had onetangible outcome There will be a mech-anism in place soon to study the prob-lems pertaining to trade and investmentbetween the two countries It will beimportant to sort out various tradeissues before India accepts the termsand conditions of the mega free tradetreaty the Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership (RCEP) compris-ing 16 countries mdash 10 ASEAN nationsplus China Japan India South KoreaAustralia and New Zealand It will be theworldrsquos biggest economic bloc coveringnearly half of the global economy a littleless than half of the worldrsquos populationand accounting for 39 per cent of theworldrsquos GDP Joining it perhaps willgive India an advantage to negotiate theterms and conditions from within Manymembers of the deal are now quiteimpatient about completing the treatyby November 2019

While it is true that most of the worldtrade is taking place within regionalarrangements and Free Trade Agree-ments (FTAs) India must not be at adisadvantage in opening up to coun-tries that are highly competitive itsmost important competitor is ChinaIndia has to weigh carefully the gainsto be had from signing the treatywhich may mean making itself vul-nerable to having its markets inundat-ed with Chinese goods

The main advantage will be that

India would be able to purchase itsraw material and intermediate goodsat concessional prices from othermembers under the mega FTA On itsown if India has to purchase thesegoods in the international marketsthese would cost much more Interme-diate goods are vital for making Indi-an exports competitive

The other advantage which manyeconomists are pointing out is thatIndia has to integrate itself into theglobal value chains which produceparts of goods in different countriesbut are assembled in a host countrylike China The edge lies in being ableto enter into a chain of global ordersby multinational corporations todeveloping countries to producegoods that are sold internationally

under well-known brand names Mostof the countries to our East are partic-ipating in the global value chains andreaping the benefits of an increase inincome and employment

The treaty may also lead to more FDIinflows from member countries nowthat the government has reduced thecorporate tax rates FDI can create jobsand rev up exports and reverse theeconomic slowdown

In the recent past however accordingto a research paper by Niti AayogIndiarsquos numerous FTAs with regionalpartners have not yielded positiveresults In most cases the FTAs havebeen followed by an increase in importsfrom the partner country India hastrade deficits with 13 member countriesof the RCEP The India-ASEAN FTA

has led to a bigger trade deficit thanbefore With South Korea Japan andThailand too there have been similarresults The surge in imports takesplace as soon as the FTA is concludedbut a similar thrust in exports is miss-ing The auto trigger mechanism ofhigher tariffs proposed by India tocheck the sudden surge in imports maybe ineffective due to lack of monitoringinfrastructure Slack export productionin India is due to lack of competitive-ness in todayrsquos world as shown by theWorld Economic Forumrsquos Global Com-petitiveness Index on which India hasslipped 10 places to the 68th rank

We are losing out to our neighbour-ing countries due to higher logisticscosts and lack of proper port facilitiesthat lead to higher turnaround timefor ships Indian companiesrsquo labourcosts are high because India is notresorting to sweatshop wages On thewhole in terms of quality and pricewe seem to be lagging behind ourneighbours and that is why foreignfirms leaving Chinese shores due tothe US-China trade war and anincrease in tariffs are not coming toIndia Also industrial growth wasonly 11 per cent in August

India has an advantage in servicesexports and has demanded freer move-ment of its service personnel withinthe RCEP and data localisation Thiswill give a boost to our services exportsdespite the language barrier Thisdemand has not been accepted by theRCEP so far All that the treaty wantsIndia to do is to reduce its tariff lines on

80 to 90 per cent of imported goodsReducing tariffs on almost all importswould be like an open invitation to all15 members to flood Indian marketswith their goods India is not able tocompete with China on many itemsand New Zealand in dairy it is this lackof competitiveness which has led togreater unpreparedness for India

First and foremost India has toimprove its industrial growth rapidlywhich may not be easy given our creakyinfrastructure shortage of skilledlabour and complex bureaucracy For allRCEP members except China thedomestic market is small and hencethey need to expand exports and are doing so aggressively China sub-sidises its exports and its financialarchitecture supports export productionmassively Being an authoritarian stateit has a smoother bureaucracy andthere is little scope for disruptions inproduction That is how China hasbecome the worldrsquos biggest exporter

China has to give more access toIndian exports especially of pharma-ceuticals and agricultural productsHopefully the Modi-Xi meeting willlead to addressing the reasons forIndiarsquos ballooning trade deficit of $53billion in 2018-19 There are too manynon-tariff barriers in place in Chinawhich have to be removed whichcould lead to more investment flowsbetween the two countries Otherwiseprogressively low tariff rates whichform the core of the RCEP treaty willseriously hurt our dairy steel MSMEand textile sectors

India must not be at adisadvantage in opening upto countries that are highlycompetitive The countryhas to weigh carefully the

gains to be had fromsigning the treaty under the

Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership

(RCEP) The mainadvantage will be that Indiawould be able to purchase

its raw material andintermediate goods at

concessional prices fromother members

India should tread warily on free trade treaty

FORMIDABLE China subsidises its exports and its financial architecture supports export production massively China is Indiarsquos most important competitor

BJP gets severejolt in BDC polls

Dinesh ManhotraTribune News Service

Jammu October 24 All hopes of the BJP to geta cakewalk in the BlockDevelopment Council(BDC) elections weredashed this evening as theparty performed poorlyeven in its citadels

Despite boycott by theNational Conference (NC)Congress and PDP theBJP managed to get only53 seats out of the total148 in the Hindu-domi-nated Jammu region con-sidered as the strongholdof the party

The party candidates evenlost in the home blocks of allsenior leaders allegedly dueto infighting including thatof state president RavinderRaina where the opposition

ldquosupportedrdquo independentsemerged victorious

The BJP even failed to winany seat from the NagrotaAssembly segment which isthe home constituency ofthe sitting Lok Sabha mem-ber Jugal Kishore Sharma

Despite the absence of theopposition candidates theBJP failed to win evenrespectable seats in its bas-tions namely JammuSamba Kathua Udhampurand Reasi districts ExceptKishtwar district the BJPfailed to perform on expect-ed lines in other districts ofthe Jammu province

The Congress which isthe arch-rival of the BJP inthese districts had boy-cotted the elections Despitethis the latter failed to per-form as expected

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

New Delhi October 24In a major setback to tele-com service providers theSupreme Court today ruledthat the Centre was entitledto recover adjusted grossrevenue (AGR) of over Rs92000 crore from them

Allowing the Centrersquosappeal against a TelecomDisputes Settlement andAppellate Tribunalrsquos(TDSAT) order three-judgeBench headed by JusticeArun Mishra upheld thedefinition of AGR formulat-ed by the Department ofTelecom (DoT)

As per the New TelecomPolicy telecom serviceproviders are required toshare a percentage of theirAGR with the governmentas annual licence fee Butthe TDSAT had held thatAGR will include only rev-enue arising from licenceactivities and that capitalassets and receipt from thesale of scrap cannot beincluded in gross revenuefor computation of licencefee The TDSAT had

exempted a large number ofstreams from the definitionof AGR like capitalreceipts bad debt distribu-tion margins to dealersforex fluctuations sale ofscrap and waiver of late fee

Now the top court hasreversed the TDSATrsquos find-ings leading to huge finan-cial burden on telecomservice providers

ldquoWe are of the consideredopinion that interest and

penalty have rightly beenlevied Once an amount ofshortfall has not been paid ithas to carry 50 of the penal-ty on defaulted amount asagreed Thus we find nosubstance in the submissionthat interest penalty andinterest on penalty cannot berealised It is as per theagreementrdquo the top courtsaid adding there was noground to reduce it

Airtel owed Rs 2168213

crore as licence fee to thegovernment while Voda-fone and Reliance Commu-nications owed Rs 1982371crore and Rs 1645647crore respectively the DoThad said adding the state-owned BSNL owed Rs209872 crore and MTNLowed Rs 253748 crore Thetotal amount to be recov-ered from telecom compa-nies was to the tune of Rs9264161 crore it had said

New Delhi October 24India has jumped 14 places totake the 63rd position on theWorld Bankrsquos ease of doingbusiness ranking released onThursday figuring amongthe top 10 performers on thelist for the third time in a rowmainly due to the successfulimplementation of the Insol-vency and Bankruptcy CodeFinance Minister NirmalaSitharaman today saidefforts will be made to fur-ther simplify the GST whichwould further improveIndiarsquos ranking

Sitharaman also said she ismaking efforts to resolve dif-ferences between the Corpo-rate Affairs Ministry andEnforcement Directorateover the issue of attachmentof property of Bhushan Poweramp Steel Ltd (BPSL) The EDwants to attach the propertyof BPSL under the Preven-tion of Money LaunderingAct (PMLA) while the Min-istry for Corporate Affairs is

opposed to this standJust back from Washing-

ton after meetings withWorld Bank and IMF offi-cials Sitharaman pointedout that India was ranked142nd in 2014 and was at the100thh spot last year Indiais now at the 77th positiondue to reforms in insolven-cy taxation and other areas

However there are appre-hensions that countries tendto game the system becauseof the way in which the rank-ings are compiled Econo-mists have said the legal sys-tems of some countries maylend themselves to higherrates of economic develop-ment but the necessarycausal link between the two

cannot be easily establishedAfter a controversy last year

over higher rankings to Indiaand Chile then World BankChief Economist Paul Romerhad said he did not have ldquocon-fidence in the integrityrdquo of therankings and suggested thatthe data may have been tiltedtowards some countries Buthe later took back his com-ments and resigned

However the rankingsbring some relief to the coun-tryrsquos financial managers whohave to contend with the dis-appointment of RBI WorldBank and IMF slashing eco-nomic growth forecasts

ldquoThis is the third year in arow that India makes to top10 in Doing Business whichis a success which very fewcountries have done over the20 years of the project With-out exception the othercountries that have done thisare very small population-wise and homogeneousrdquoSimeon Djankov WorldBankrsquos Director of Develop-ment Economics said

options and talk of an inde-pendent political outfitbeing floated under his lead-ership began to gain groundhe summoned a couple ofmeetings as a show ofstrength for the benefit ofthe party high command

He held a final meeting onAugust 18 in Rohtak to chalkout the future course of actionin the face of an indifferentCongress top brass

With the partyrsquos generalsecretary in charge ofHaryana Ghulam Nabi Azadon his side Hoodarsquos wait borefruit when the Congressreplaced Tanwar with Seljaand he was given the status ofCLP leader on September 4 amonth before the Assemblyelections were announced

The new team inherited anumber of challenges withthe Congress divided intonumerous factions and theparty having no organisation-al structure at grass-roots lev-el while the ruling BJP was ona roll after winning all 10 seats

in the Lok Sabha elections Breathing new life into a fail-

ing Congress a rejuvenatedHooda toured the state exten-sively Hoping to consolidatethe Jats behind him after thesplit in the Indian National LokDal Hooda hit the tarmac run-

ning and went about campaign-ing in pockets where his pres-ence would make a differencewhile always keeping the focuson the Deswali belt where hehas considerable sway

Having held various posi-tions in the party includingthat of the state chief from1996 to 2001 Hooda served asChief Minister of the statefrom 2005 to 2014 Soon afterthe BJP assumed power hewas targeted and the CBIslapped cases against himThough his chips were downhe carried on with his strug-gle against the BJP and kept

the fight against Tanwarrsquosouster alive not giving upand not giving in

Sources close to him main-tain that the Congressrsquos per-formance is the conse-quence of Hoodarsquossustained effort to fightagainst all odds whether itwas the CBI cases or thedirection the party was tak-ing under Tanwar With thisspectacular performance bythe party the Congress is outof the woods in Haryana andHooda has consolidated hisposition as a leader who is acut above the rest

We are satisfied with theresults The key to power is withthe JJP as both the Congressand BJP have failed to cross 40seats We will take further action

after talking to our MLAs DUSHYANT CHAUTALA JJP LEADER

Chandigarh October 24The failure of the ruling BJPto consolidate non-Jat votesand the dominant Jat com-munity hitting back at thesaffron party have accountedfor the ldquobelow parrdquo perform-ance of the BJP in theHaryana Assembly elections

This coupled with a lowvoter turnout in the urbanareas considered to be thestronghold of the BJP its fail-ure to polarise the non-Jaturban voters and the domi-nance of local issues asagainst the partyrsquos nationalnarrative centred aroundabrogation of Article 370 inJammu and Kashmir havecontributed to a ldquohungAssemblyrdquo in the state

However the biggest take-away from the election resultsis that the influential Jatswhich constitute around 25

of the total electorate deliv-ered a big blow to the BJPgovernment led by a non-JatChief Minister Manohar LakKhattar especially in the ruralAssembly segments

Riding high on the ldquoModi

waverdquo and polarisation ofnon-Jat and urban votes theBJP had formed the firstgovernment in the state inthe 2014 Assembly elections

This time around the partyhas failed to consolidate the

non-Jat vote bank to put itselfin a winning position Sincethe rural Assembly segmentswhich have a sizeable Jat votebank accounted for heavyvoting the BJP remained at adisadvantage as compared to

the Opposition parties in therural segments

In fact two Jat leadersBhupinder Singh Hooda(Congress) and DushyantChautala (JJP) who single-handedly led the electioncampaigns of their respec-tive parties as against anarray of star campaigners ofthe BJP led by Prime Minis-ter Narendra Modi havemanaged to pocket nearlyhalf of the 90 seats

While Hooda is consideredto be the tallest Jat leader inthe state Dushyantrsquos JJPhas made major inroads intothe vote bank of its parentorganisation INLD com-prising rural Jat peasantryIn fact this is being reflect-ed in the election results inthe constituencies whichhave sizeable Jat voters asthe Congress and the JJPhave been able to win amajority of these seats

Surjewala today lost theKaithal seat to Lila Ram Guj-

jar of the BJP by a margin of567 votes Surjewala like for-mer state Congress presi-dent Ashok Tanwar was con-sidered a confidant of Rahul

Gandhi in particular and theGandhi family in general

While Tanwar has alreadybid adieu to the party afterhe was replaced with Kumari

Selja and ignored in distribu-tion of tickets with Surjew-alarsquos defeat it is like com-plete decimation of TeamRahul in the state Congress

At the personal leveltodayrsquos result is the secondelectoral defeat for Surjewalain the year 2019 as he had lostmiserably in the Jind byelec-tion held in January this year

Many were surprised whenSurjewala chose to contestfrom Jind as it is quiteuncommon for a sitting MLA

to contest from another seatin a byelection

During his campaign in JindSurjewala had to assure peoplethat he would quit Kaithal seatif he won the bypoll Howeverhis statement kept hauntingKaithal where Surjewalarsquosopponent alleged that thoughKaithal voters elected himtwice but he had no attach-ment to them

Accepting his defeat Sur-jewala in a tweet thankedthe people of Kaithal

Kaithal loss big setback for Surjewala Congress DID CONSTITUENCY FEEL BETRAYED

During his campaign for Jind bypoll in January Surjewalahad to assure people that he would quit Kaithal seat ifhe won the bypoll

Chandigarh October 24A month after being replacedas state Congress chief byKumari Selja former Memberof Parliament and partyrsquosDalit face for five years AshokTanwar seems to have lost thepolitical battle as results to theAssembly elections came in

From being the Congresstop brass in the state to beingformer Congress chief RahulGandhirsquos blue-eyed boy andrunning the party on his ownterms Tanwar a former stu-dent leader having quit theparty in haste is now virtuallyout in the cold with few takers

His flip-flop attitude sincehe quit the Congress by offer-ing support to the JJP in the

morning and extending coop-eration to the INLDrsquos AbhayChautala in Ellenabad in theevening also sent mixed sig-nals about the direction hiscareer would take

Sources said his only USPduring the elections was thathe was a former Congresschief and was out to get for-mer Chief Minister BhupinderSingh Hooda His diatribeagainst Hooda was lapped up

by rival political parties whonot only extended support toTanwar but welcomed himwith open arms With elec-tions over and results outTanwarrsquos future continues tohang in the balance since hedoes not have any options ifhe is not willing to join a party

Though it is believed thatTanwarrsquos name for the post ofstate president was initiallyforwarded by former ChiefMinister Bhupinder SinghHooda the two soon fell outand were at daggers drawn asthey went public with theircomplaints against each other

Having declared that he doesnot want to join any politicalparty it remains to be seen howhe intends to keep himself rel-evant on the political scene

Showing no disappoint-ment for the BJP not going

Haryana crime rate The NCRB report has ratedHaryana as the third highestcrime state with 1072 murders

SUBER SINGH PARIHAR JALARI

IAM again confused Should I trycontributing to the economy ofthe country by buying gifts on

Diwali or stick to the long-taken vowto refrain from this useless andpainfully tiring activity

Buying a gift is a tedious exerciseMore than the money involved youhave to invest time in thinking if thegift would be appropriate for the per-son What would suit his taste or whathis household would love to display

Even in case of gifting on generaloccasions like birthdays and anniver-saries you have to be very careful Avase or a bedcover on a birthday orjust anything lying in the house onan anniversary are absolute disas-

ters It is particularly tricky when youwant to pass off something gifted toyou by someone which you yourselfdonrsquot like It is possible that you aregifting back the same suit length thatwas given by the same friend on yourprevious birthday Such passing offof a gift is a social risk

Though a gift is bestowed voluntar-ily it may have an underlying wishand expectation of return Thatwould be the case where gifting isbeing done as a quid pro quo A giftcan also be a thanks-giving act forthe deed done to you by the otherperson perhaps for a service ren-dered free of cost And Diwali is themost opportune time to express grat-itude in the form of a thoughtful gift

Again weird things may happen

You may be the sixth person giving thesame vase or same cake the other per-son has received since morning If youare in public life you may not evenknow the face hidden behind the hugebox that he carries to your room Thewives are also decked up since morn-ing with a tray of sweets and dry fruitsto be offered to the lsquogiftersrsquo knownpersonally or through business cardsstapled on the top of the gift box

Gifting also has its codes A signifi-cant fraction of gifts are unwanted Attimes the giver pays more for theitem than the recipient values A 2009study in the Journal of ExperimentalSocial Psychology found thatalthough givers tend to think a fanci-er expensive gift will be appreciatedmore receivers are happier with

cheaper more practical presentsNathan Novemsky a professor of

marketing at Yale University cau-tions not to overdo the gift wrapPretty wrapping raises expectationsfor a gift and increases the risk ofthe receiver being disappointed ifthe present doesnrsquot live up to theirexpectations A heavy box contain-ing a fluffy cake may result inimmediate disappointment

It also helps to ask what he or shewants because there comes a pointin everybodyrsquos life when you justdonrsquot want any more uselessthough well-intentioned junk

The best I would say is to stayhome away from the market Thisalso will save fuel and the environ-ment from toxic fumes

AFTER two high-profileAssembly elections it mayseem odd to analyse the per-formance of the loser instead

of finding reasons to praise the winnerWell the story of the Opposition snatch-ing defeat from the jaws of victory isinfinitely more interesting than a lack-lustre down-to-the-wire victory for theruling party Despite being two com-pletely dissimilar states Maharashtraand Haryana have thrown up resultsthat have a lot in common while theBJP dropped more than 10 per centseats thereby losing its sheen of invin-cibility in Maharashtra it has lost evenits majority in Haryana Most Haryanaministers have lost again proving thatthe Modi magic is not enough to tideover anti-incumbency In short theabrogation of Article 370 or Hindutvahyper-nationalism is no counter to thelack of governance administrativesloth and representational politicstermed loosely as caste combinations

Yet the Opposition could not winthese elections And the prime reasonis the brand of politics pursued by Con-gress leader Rahul Gandhi who gets itwrong election after election Herefused to anoint a strong satrap forMaharashtra and his antipathy forBhupinder Singh Hooda has cost hisparty the government in Haryana Thisis a strange situation where the pri-mary Opposition partyrsquos leader landsup to perform during the polls only tovanish later leaving the cadre and itsregional leaders in the lurch There issomething seriously wrong with RahulGandhirsquos leadership particularlywhen he is compared with the 78-year-old Sharad Pawar and 72-year-old Hoo-da Pawar single-handedly cam-paigned all across his strongholds inMaharashtra turning the tide in favour

of his party NCP which emerged as thesingle-largest Opposition party

The Congress has always taken thelarger share of seats in the Maharashtraalliance but this time around the NCPhas proven that though it contested alesser number of seats it is the biggerand stronger partner This despite theBJP trying its best to poach and getNCPrsquos second-rung leaders to defectWhat was missing in the campaign forthe Congress was a tall leader whocould sway the masses or concentrateall the anti-government forces factorsand emotions The results could havebeen different had the alliance workedas one under the leadership of PawarBut then Congress president SoniaGandhi could never trust Pawar or forthat matter any organic mass leaderwho could pose a threat to her son

Hooda was on the verge of splittingthe Congress in Haryana until thefirst week of September Rahul Gand-hirsquos chosen men in Haryana AshokTanwar and Randeep Surjewala hadbeen proven disastrous yet the highcommand did its best to push the par-tyrsquos tallest leader out Somehow Hoo-da managed to hang on and his per-formance is actually a bigger setbackto Rahul than to BJP Chief Minister

ML Khattar because Hooda managedto win 100 per cent more seats thanthe Congress did in 2014 Hoodarsquoscomeback could have been morespectacular had he been in the saddleafter Surjewalarsquos miserable defeat inthe bypolls earlier this year

That brings us to the biggest ques-tion what is essentially wrong withRahulrsquos politics He claims to usherin alternative politics of social trans-formation But this cannot beachieved by frequently flying out forvacations and flying in to abuse ModiTransformative politics happens onthe ground and Rahul as a politicianalways relied on others to even man-age Amethi his family inheritancefinally losing it after he threw out theman who worked hard all these yearsfor him A politician who claims torepresent new ideas in politics had torely on Keralarsquos moth-eaten minoritypolitics to re-enter Lok Sabha

So his great disdain for the old guardis just skin-deep or more precisely abundle of prejudices over personalchoices and has nothing to do with pol-itics of probity or justice Most in hiscoterie are just as feudal opportunisticand corrupt as those he dislikes Theonly difference is that his coterie com-

prises inefficient inheritors who can-not win elections or defeat the SanghParivar The worst aspect of Rahulrsquosleadership is his hypocrisy aboutintegrity inheritance and modernityThe Congress has not had new ideaspurges or leaps of faith under his lead-ership Yet neither Sonia Gandhi norPriyanka Vadra campaigned duringthese elections leaving the field openfor Rahul proving once again his pri-macy in the family-run concern

Now that it has been proven that theBJP is indeed vulnerable to anti-incum-bency be it over flood mismanagementin western Maharashtra or governancedeficit in Haryana the Oppositionought to look beyond the Gandhi fami-ly for leadership Pawar MamataBanerjee Jaganmohan Reddy andmany others have already establishedthe fallacy of the familyrsquos claim to theCongress legacy A grand merger of theCongress and its many splinters couldprove a game-changer particularly pro-viding the Opposition the leadershipthat the country sorely lacks now

It is wrong to compare Modi withVladimir Putin or Recep Erdoganbecause the BJP still needs the mobil-ising muscle of the RSS cadre to winelections In this context an effectiveOpposition could always upstage theincumbent with cunning and effi-ciency But that cannot be the Rahul-led Congress Yet the Congressmenthough the best opportunists in Indi-an politics are still not convinced thatthe family is nothing but the sumtotal of satraps without adding any-thing to the party Once this realisa-tion dawns on them the Congress-men ought to drop the burden ofRahulrsquos personal prejudices lookingwithin for a better leader like CaptainAmarinder Singh who keeps per-forming despite Rahulrsquos apathy

If the Congress does not choose anew leader anti-BJP parties as awhole will be forced to thinkbeyond the Gandhi family for thesake of our democracy Finally evenfor opportunistic power-grabbersthese results prove that power iswithin an armrsquos reach for thosewho think dare and take on Modi atthe Centre and in the states

IRONY Bhupinder Singh Hoodarsquos performance is a bigger setback to Rahul Gandhithan to BJP Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar

THE TRIBUNEestablished in 1881

Hit hard by hubrisSetbacks in Haryana Maharashtra a wake-up call for BJP

THE Assembly elections and the Lok Sabha polls are polesapart even if these are held within months of each otherEuphoric over its emphatic victory in the 2019 General Elec-

tion the BJP had conveniently forgotten this basic truism of elec-toral politics The results of the Haryana and Maharashtra Assem-bly polls have bitterly reminded the saffron party that extrapolatingthe bigger battlersquos outcome to that of the smaller one is a perilousstrategy The ruling partyrsquos tally of seats has dropped significantlyin both states The fall has been harder in Haryana where ChiefMinister Manohar Lal Khattar faces a Herculean task cobblingtogether a coalition government In Maharashtra ageing stalwartSharad Pawar has shown the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance that he is noalso-ran even in the twilight of his career

The BJP which had won all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the northernstate in May this year committed the blunder of writing off the belea-guered Congress and the fledgling Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) Withthe Grand Old Partyrsquos high command lying low it all boiled down tohow hard ex-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former Union MinisterSelja could push themselves And both did a fairly good job as theCongress comfortably emerged as the second-largest party mdash quite aturnaround after its forgettable show in the 2014 Assembly electionsAnother key factor was Khattarrsquos failure to dispel the perception thatthe state government was being remote-controlled from New Delhi

The plank of national security had done the trick for the BJP in thisyearrsquos Lok Sabha polls in the backdrop of the Pulwama terror attackand the Balakot airstrikes The party tried to run a similar tape in theAssembly elections where local issues are of paramount importanceIn the self-congratulatory mode after the abrogation of Article 370 theBJP came a cropper in addressing the concerns of farmers and othermajor vote banks The voters of Haryana and Maharashtra havepricked the partyrsquos bubble of invincibility Accepting the mandatewith humility and recalibrating its policies should be the way forwardThere is no room for complacency any more

Regularising illegal coloniesPopulism apart providing amenities a major challenge

BY approving the proposal to regularise unauthorised colonies inDelhi the Centre has sought to trump the ruling AAP ahead ofthe Assembly elections slated for February 2020 To address its

core base mdash the aam aadmi mdash Arvind Kejriwalrsquos government hadbeen doling out sops in the form of free electricity water and bus ridesfor women to name a few By announcing the decision to grant own-ership rights to those living in illegal colonies a move expected to ben-efit 40-50 lakh people mostly migrants or those belonging to the low-income groups the Centre has tried to steal AAPrsquos thunder WhileKejriwal had accused the Central government of wanting to demolishthese colonies Union Minister Hardeep Puri returned the barb blam-ing AAP for lsquodelayingrsquo the decision It is also significant that while theCentre initiated the NRC to identify lsquonon-citizensrsquo it has opted to bemore inclusive in Delhi electoral gains perhaps the prime mover

The 1797 unauthorised colonies are spread over all 70 constituen-cies with nearly two lakh voters in each constituency The governmenthas said ownership rights would be given to the residents at extreme-ly low rates and the colonies would be categorised depending on thetype of land they have come up on The process is to begin with thedelineation of boundaries for which there was a proposal to use satel-lite images or even drone mapping The Centre has accused the DelhiGovernment of not doing so and seeking time till 2021 The proposaldoes not apply to 69 affluent colonies a major stumbling block earlier

Regularisation may push up property prices but the challengelies in providing infrastructure in a city already stretched to its limits There is a lesson for both the AAP and BJP after the Maha-rashtra and Haryana elections You canrsquot rest on your laurels andtake voters for granted Constant striving and maintaining connectare the only ways not to yield ground

Gifting the big dilemma

Despite a stunning show the Opposition could not taste victory The prime reason the brand of politics

pursued by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi

NOUS INDICARAJESH RAMACHANDRAN

BJPrsquos cloak of invincibility is off but the Opposition is stuck without a leader

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 25 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED

IN the end regardless of the num-bers and the degree of competitionamong the stakeholders it is thespirit of the mandate emanating

from the Maharashtra and HaryanaAssembly polls that is likely to leave itsimprint not only on the states but alsoon the country Every electoral outcomecarries one or more messages for theplayers and the electorate The latestAssembly elections mdash the first to beheld after the BJPrsquos spectacular show-ing in the Lok Sabha polls in May 2019mdash came with a cautionary tale for theruling party valuable counsel for theCongress and hope and optimism forthe regional parties that have emergedas king-makers or pressure groups inboth Haryana and Maharashtra after along spell of a near-hegemonic holdover the polity by the BJP

Dismissed as lsquotiresomely one-sidedrsquo by political pundits and alsquoBJP-all-the-wayrsquo reading by mostpollsters with one honourableexception the results sprang a sur-prise Doubtless the BJP and its allythe Shiv Sena swung Maharashtrafor a second innings but the resulthad a significant subtext

First the BJPrsquos aspirations to sur-pass the Sena that had not been theamenable of partners in Chief Minis-ter Devendra Fadnavisrsquo first tenurewere dashed The BJP barelyreached the three-digit mark

although objectively speaking itcontested fewer seats this time thanit did in 2014 when it went solo andteamed up with the Sena after theelections The BJP and the Senariled each other on quite a few seatswhile on one the allies were pittedagainst one another although theBJP picked up this contentious seat

The debut of Aaditya Thackeray sonof Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was asource of unease for the BJP Aadityawho is on a serious image makeover fora party that was identified withparochialism minority bashing and awarped sense of what lsquoIndiannessrsquowas largely discarded the Senarsquos lega-cy issues such as disrupting Valen-tinersquos Day celebrations and shuttingdown pubs and spoke a modern lan-guage that facilitated a connect withthe new urban demography Aadityarsquoscheerleaders became his ventriloquistsmid-way through electioneering anddemanded that he should be made theCM in sync with the BJPrsquos old formulaof leaving Maharashtra to the Sena andkeeping the Centre Uddhav half-heartedly squashed the demand whilethe BJP insisted that Fadnavis wouldcontinue to helm the coalition

Fadnavis looks a tad vulnerablebecause the BJP has not secured thenumbers it had hoped for certainlynot achieving a tally that would placeit in a commanding position over theSena Worse for Fadnavis the BJPsuffered its losses in Vidarbha hisbackyard (he won from Nagpur southwest) whose farmers were seriouslyimpacted by successive droughts thatFadnavisrsquo flagship irrigation schemeswere unable to mitigate

Although the 36 seats in Mumbaiwere not affected by poor civic infra-structure the environmental damagecaused by the reclamation of forest

land at the Aarey Milk complex forMetro rail expansion and a massivecooperative bank scam that entailedthe loss of lifetime savings for middle-class pensioners the BJP had to forgoseats in the rural areas reinforcingthe trend of a rural-urban divide thatwas manifest in an earlier slew ofAssembly polls held in December2018 While the Congress beset withfactionalism bereft of credible stateleaders and the absence of the Gand-his for the most part from the cam-paign (Rahul Gandhi addressed occa-sional meetings) proved hopelesslyineffective in taking advantage of theanti-incumbency sentiment againstthe Maharashtra government its allythe Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)took as much advantage as its leaderSharad Pawar could in the twilight ofhis political career

The BJP hollowed out to the NCP

spiriting away its local weighty leaderswho controlled the cooperatives andother sources of institutional patron-age to the extent it could Pawar wasnot deterred He soldiered on invokinghis Maratha legacy Perhaps a definingimage of the election was of Pawarcampaigning in heavy rain at Satarawhere the BJP had taken away a stronglocal influencer Udayan Raje Bhosalea descendant of Chhatrapati ShivajiThe combination of sympathy and hispolitical inheritance worked becauseBhosale lost to the NCPrsquos new candi-date The NCP won more seats than theCongress to become the third-largestparty in the new Assembly Howeverthe more significant takeaway from theNCPrsquos showing was that regional lead-ers with a grassroots connect weremore capable of challenging the BJPwhen push came to shove

The BJPrsquos attempts to frame Pawar

and his political confidant PrafulPatel on graft charges and for allegedlinks with the Mumbai underworlddid not upset the NCPrsquos prospectsbecause the allegations were levelledon election eve and smacked of ruth-less cynicism

If the Congress cared to objectivelyanalyse the results of the Maharashtraand Haryana polls two features willnot escape its attention One theyunderscored the indisputable placethat the regional satraps hold irre-spective of how lsquopowerfulrsquo a highcommand might be The performanceput in by Pawar Bhupinder SinghHooda and young Dushyant Chautalaunderscored the importance of identi-fying and nurturing provincial lead-ers Indeed had the Gandhis givenHooda and his son Deepender Hoodaenough political and managerial lati-tude well in advance and not pittedfactions against one another throughrootless players Haryana might haveturned in a different narrative

Second the involvement of theGandhis in these elections was mini-mal Sonia Gandhi and PriyankaGandhi Vadra were absent whileRahul put in a token appearanceWhat did that signify That the Con-gress seriously needed to revisit itscommand structures

For the BJP the takeaways werethat overuse of aggressive national-ism had its limitations economicscannot be decoupled from politicsand the Assembly and parliamen-tary elections are qualitatively dif-ferent Doubtless it has morphed aLok Sabha election into a presiden-tial-style mandate for an individualA state election has its own dynam-ics one of them being that dal-rotiissues take precedence over anoffensive against Pakistan

THE recent one-on-one talksbetween Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi and Chinese Presi-dent Xi Jinping at Mamallapu-

ram on trade and investment had onetangible outcome There will be a mech-anism in place soon to study the prob-lems pertaining to trade and investmentbetween the two countries It will beimportant to sort out various tradeissues before India accepts the termsand conditions of the mega free tradetreaty the Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership (RCEP) compris-ing 16 countries mdash 10 ASEAN nationsplus China Japan India South KoreaAustralia and New Zealand It will be theworldrsquos biggest economic bloc coveringnearly half of the global economy a littleless than half of the worldrsquos populationand accounting for 39 per cent of theworldrsquos GDP Joining it perhaps willgive India an advantage to negotiate theterms and conditions from within Manymembers of the deal are now quiteimpatient about completing the treatyby November 2019

While it is true that most of the worldtrade is taking place within regionalarrangements and Free Trade Agree-ments (FTAs) India must not be at adisadvantage in opening up to coun-tries that are highly competitive itsmost important competitor is ChinaIndia has to weigh carefully the gainsto be had from signing the treatywhich may mean making itself vul-nerable to having its markets inundat-ed with Chinese goods

The main advantage will be that

India would be able to purchase itsraw material and intermediate goodsat concessional prices from othermembers under the mega FTA On itsown if India has to purchase thesegoods in the international marketsthese would cost much more Interme-diate goods are vital for making Indi-an exports competitive

The other advantage which manyeconomists are pointing out is thatIndia has to integrate itself into theglobal value chains which produceparts of goods in different countriesbut are assembled in a host countrylike China The edge lies in being ableto enter into a chain of global ordersby multinational corporations todeveloping countries to producegoods that are sold internationally

under well-known brand names Mostof the countries to our East are partic-ipating in the global value chains andreaping the benefits of an increase inincome and employment

The treaty may also lead to more FDIinflows from member countries nowthat the government has reduced thecorporate tax rates FDI can create jobsand rev up exports and reverse theeconomic slowdown

In the recent past however accordingto a research paper by Niti AayogIndiarsquos numerous FTAs with regionalpartners have not yielded positiveresults In most cases the FTAs havebeen followed by an increase in importsfrom the partner country India hastrade deficits with 13 member countriesof the RCEP The India-ASEAN FTA

has led to a bigger trade deficit thanbefore With South Korea Japan andThailand too there have been similarresults The surge in imports takesplace as soon as the FTA is concludedbut a similar thrust in exports is miss-ing The auto trigger mechanism ofhigher tariffs proposed by India tocheck the sudden surge in imports maybe ineffective due to lack of monitoringinfrastructure Slack export productionin India is due to lack of competitive-ness in todayrsquos world as shown by theWorld Economic Forumrsquos Global Com-petitiveness Index on which India hasslipped 10 places to the 68th rank

We are losing out to our neighbour-ing countries due to higher logisticscosts and lack of proper port facilitiesthat lead to higher turnaround timefor ships Indian companiesrsquo labourcosts are high because India is notresorting to sweatshop wages On thewhole in terms of quality and pricewe seem to be lagging behind ourneighbours and that is why foreignfirms leaving Chinese shores due tothe US-China trade war and anincrease in tariffs are not coming toIndia Also industrial growth wasonly 11 per cent in August

India has an advantage in servicesexports and has demanded freer move-ment of its service personnel withinthe RCEP and data localisation Thiswill give a boost to our services exportsdespite the language barrier Thisdemand has not been accepted by theRCEP so far All that the treaty wantsIndia to do is to reduce its tariff lines on

80 to 90 per cent of imported goodsReducing tariffs on almost all importswould be like an open invitation to all15 members to flood Indian marketswith their goods India is not able tocompete with China on many itemsand New Zealand in dairy it is this lackof competitiveness which has led togreater unpreparedness for India

First and foremost India has toimprove its industrial growth rapidlywhich may not be easy given our creakyinfrastructure shortage of skilledlabour and complex bureaucracy For allRCEP members except China thedomestic market is small and hencethey need to expand exports and are doing so aggressively China sub-sidises its exports and its financialarchitecture supports export productionmassively Being an authoritarian stateit has a smoother bureaucracy andthere is little scope for disruptions inproduction That is how China hasbecome the worldrsquos biggest exporter

China has to give more access toIndian exports especially of pharma-ceuticals and agricultural productsHopefully the Modi-Xi meeting willlead to addressing the reasons forIndiarsquos ballooning trade deficit of $53billion in 2018-19 There are too manynon-tariff barriers in place in Chinawhich have to be removed whichcould lead to more investment flowsbetween the two countries Otherwiseprogressively low tariff rates whichform the core of the RCEP treaty willseriously hurt our dairy steel MSMEand textile sectors

Dinesh ManhotraTribune News Service

Jammu October 24 All hopes of the BJP to geta cakewalk in the BlockDevelopment Council(BDC) elections weredashed this evening as theparty performed poorlyeven in its citadels

Despite boycott by theNational Conference (NC)Congress and PDP theBJP managed to get only53 seats out of the total148 in the Hindu-domi-nated Jammu region con-sidered as the strongholdof the party

The party candidates evenlost in the home blocks of allsenior leaders allegedly dueto infighting including thatof state president RavinderRaina where the opposition

ldquosupportedrdquo independentsemerged victorious

The BJP even failed to winany seat from the NagrotaAssembly segment which isthe home constituency ofthe sitting Lok Sabha mem-ber Jugal Kishore Sharma

Despite the absence of theopposition candidates theBJP failed to win evenrespectable seats in its bas-tions namely JammuSamba Kathua Udhampurand Reasi districts ExceptKishtwar district the BJPfailed to perform on expect-ed lines in other districts ofthe Jammu province

The Congress which isthe arch-rival of the BJP inthese districts had boy-cotted the elections Despitethis the latter failed to per-form as expected

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

Ministry of External Affairsspokesperson Raveesh Kumarsaid a few lawmakers at the USCongressional hearing onKashmir on Tuesday displayedlimited understanding ofIndiarsquos history and Constitu-tionally guaranteed fundamen-tal rights His main regret wasthat the hearing should haveascertained facts related tocross-border terrorism Thoughtwo witnesses mdash Arati TikooSingh and Ravi Batra mdash tried tohammer home this pointmembers of the Congressseemed more focused on thesituation as at present

Kumar also termed Pakistanfacilitated visits for diplomats toits part of Kashmir as an eye-wash and felt Islamabad shouldinstead show them proof ofdestroyed terrorist launch padsor proof of their sincerity in tak-ing credible verifiable and irre-versible steps to stop cross-bor-

der terrorism On MalaysiaKumar said India had noted thecomments of its PM Mahathirbin Mohamad on Kashmir andsaid those were ldquounacceptablein keeping with the factsrdquoMahathir had said ldquoWe felt thatthe people of Kashmir had ben-efited from the UN resolutionand all we are saying is that weshould all abide not just Indiaand Pakistan but even the USand other countries We speakout our mind and we donrsquotretract and change Otherwisewhatrsquos the good of having theUNrdquo he had asked

Mahathir had also contradict-ed External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on the issue ofextraditing radical preacherZakir Naik While Jaishankarmaintained that Naikrsquos extradi-tion was discussed between thetwo PMs Mahathir said thatwas not the case As the acri-mony seems to be spilling overinto the trade arena Malaysianleader Anwar Ibrahim insistedon steps to find a way to solvethis amicably

It told Attorney General KKVenugopal and Solicitor Gen-eral Tushar Mehta represent-ing the Centre and the staterespectively that authorities

might impose restrictions innational interest but thecurbs needed to be reviewedfrom time to time

ldquoYou have to come out with

around three months andno petition was filed thenhe added The Bench post-ed all petitions on restric-tions in Kashmir for hear-ing on November 5

As per the New TelecomPolicy telecom serviceproviders are required toshare a percentage of theirAGR with the governmentas annual licence fee Butthe TDSAT had held thatAGR will include only rev-enue arising from licenceactivities and that capitalassets and receipt from thesale of scrap cannot beincluded in gross revenuefor computation of licencefee The TDSAT had

exempted a large number ofstreams from the definitionof AGR like capitalreceipts bad debt distribu-tion margins to dealersforex fluctuations sale ofscrap and waiver of late fee

Now the top court hasreversed the TDSATrsquos find-ings leading to huge finan-cial burden on telecomservice providers

ldquoWe are of the consideredopinion that interest and

penalty have rightly beenlevied Once an amount ofshortfall has not been paid ithas to carry 50 of the penal-ty on defaulted amount asagreed Thus we find nosubstance in the submissionthat interest penalty andinterest on penalty cannot berealised It is as per theagreementrdquo the top courtsaid adding there was noground to reduce it

New Delhi October 24India has jumped 14 places totake the 63rd position on theWorld Bankrsquos ease of doingbusiness ranking released onThursday figuring amongthe top 10 performers on thelist for the third time in a rowmainly due to the successfulimplementation of the Insol-vency and Bankruptcy CodeFinance Minister NirmalaSitharaman today saidefforts will be made to fur-ther simplify the GST whichwould further improveIndiarsquos ranking

Sitharaman also said she ismaking efforts to resolve dif-ferences between the Corpo-rate Affairs Ministry andEnforcement Directorateover the issue of attachmentof property of Bhushan Poweramp Steel Ltd (BPSL) The EDwants to attach the propertyof BPSL under the Preven-tion of Money LaunderingAct (PMLA) while the Min-istry for Corporate Affairs is

ton after meetings withWorld Bank and IMF offi-cials Sitharaman pointedout that India was ranked142nd in 2014 and was at the100thh spot last year Indiais now at the 77th positiondue to reforms in insolven-cy taxation and other areas

However there are appre-hensions that countries tendto game the system becauseof the way in which the rank-ings are compiled Econo-mists have said the legal sys-tems of some countries maylend themselves to higherrates of economic develop-ment but the necessarycausal link between the two

cannot be easily establishedAfter a controversy last year

over higher rankings to Indiaand Chile then World BankChief Economist Paul Romerhad said he did not have ldquocon-fidence in the integrityrdquo of therankings and suggested thatthe data may have been tiltedtowards some countries Buthe later took back his com-ments and resigned

Chandigarh October 24The Congress performance inHaryana has upset the BJPrsquoscalculations of seamlesslystepping into a second termunder the leadership ofManohar Lal Khattar and theparty seems to have exceededits own expectations thisAssembly election as it cele-brated its resurgence

While the overconfidence ofthe BJP economic slowdownanti-incumbency as also thepoor selection of candidatesare being blamed for the rul-ing partyrsquos performance thenew Dalit-Jat team of HaryanaCongress chief Kumari Seljaand Congress LegislatureParty leader BhupinderSingh Hooda is beingcredited with turn-ing around the for-tunes of the Con-gress in Haryana inover a month

The tallest of Jatleaders in the stateHooda also consid-ered a farmersrsquo leadersupported by a majority ofthe party MLAs struggled fornearly two years to press forformer Congressman and thenstate chief Ashok Tanwarrsquosouster with little success

Finally Hoodarsquos support-ers restless over beingignored began to push him tofloat his own party soon afterthe Lok Sabha electionresults were declared in Maythis year In a weak positionafter having lost the Lok Sab-ha election from the Sonepatseat Hooda suffered a doubleblow when his son and sittingRohtak MP Deepender Hoo-

da also lost the election As Hooda weighed his

options and talk of an inde-pendent political outfitbeing floated under his lead-ership began to gain groundhe summoned a couple ofmeetings as a show ofstrength for the benefit ofthe party high command

He held a final meeting onAugust 18 in Rohtak to chalkout the future course of actionin the face of an indifferentCongress top brass

With the partyrsquos generalsecretary in charge ofHaryana Ghulam Nabi Azadon his side Hoodarsquos wait borefruit when the Congressreplaced Tanwar with Seljaand he was given the status ofCLP leader on September 4 amonth before the Assemblyelections were announced

The new team inherited anumber of challenges withthe Congress divided intonumerous factions and theparty having no organisation-al structure at grass-roots lev-el while the ruling BJP was ona roll after winning all 10 seats

in the Lok Sabha elections Breathing new life into a fail-

ing Congress a rejuvenatedHooda toured the state exten-sively Hoping to consolidatethe Jats behind him after thesplit in the Indian National LokDal Hooda hit the tarmac run-

ning and went about campaign-ing in pockets where his pres-ence would make a differencewhile always keeping the focuson the Deswali belt where hehas considerable sway

Having held various posi-tions in the party includingthat of the state chief from1996 to 2001 Hooda served asChief Minister of the statefrom 2005 to 2014 Soon afterthe BJP assumed power hewas targeted and the CBIslapped cases against himThough his chips were downhe carried on with his strug-gle against the BJP and kept

the fight against Tanwarrsquosouster alive not giving upand not giving in

Sources close to him main-tain that the Congressrsquos per-formance is the conse-quence of Hoodarsquossustained effort to fightagainst all odds whether itwas the CBI cases or thedirection the party was tak-ing under Tanwar With thisspectacular performance bythe party the Congress is outof the woods in Haryana andHooda has consolidated hisposition as a leader who is acut above the rest

We are satisfied with theresults The key to power is withthe JJP as both the Congressand BJP have failed to cross 40seats We will take further action

after talking to our MLAs DUSHYANT CHAUTALA JJP LEADER

Hooda returns and howIn few weeks veteran Cong leader turns around fortunes of fading faction-ridden party

We will not support the CongressIt has been behind the conspiracy ofsending our leaders to jail The INLDcannot forgive a party which hatchedsuch a big conspiracy We would

rather sit in the Opposition ABHAY CHAUTALA INLD

This coupled with a lowvoter turnout in the urbanareas considered to be thestronghold of the BJP its fail-ure to polarise the non-Jaturban voters and the domi-nance of local issues asagainst the partyrsquos nationalnarrative centred aroundabrogation of Article 370 inJammu and Kashmir havecontributed to a ldquohungAssemblyrdquo in the state

However the biggest take-away from the election resultsis that the influential Jatswhich constitute around 25

of the total electorate deliv-ered a big blow to the BJPgovernment led by a non-JatChief Minister Manohar LakKhattar especially in the ruralAssembly segments

Riding high on the ldquoModi

waverdquo and polarisation ofnon-Jat and urban votes theBJP had formed the firstgovernment in the state inthe 2014 Assembly elections

This time around the partyhas failed to consolidate the

non-Jat vote bank to put itselfin a winning position Sincethe rural Assembly segmentswhich have a sizeable Jat votebank accounted for heavyvoting the BJP remained at adisadvantage as compared to

the Opposition parties in therural segments

In fact two Jat leadersBhupinder Singh Hooda(Congress) and DushyantChautala (JJP) who single-handedly led the electioncampaigns of their respec-tive parties as against anarray of star campaigners ofthe BJP led by Prime Minis-ter Narendra Modi havemanaged to pocket nearlyhalf of the 90 seats

While Hooda is consideredto be the tallest Jat leader inthe state Dushyantrsquos JJPhas made major inroads intothe vote bank of its parentorganisation INLD com-prising rural Jat peasantryIn fact this is being reflect-ed in the election results inthe constituencies whichhave sizeable Jat voters asthe Congress and the JJPhave been able to win amajority of these seats

Heavy voting in Jat-domi-nated rural areas low vot-ing in non-Jat dominatedurban areas worked out toBJPrsquos disadvantage

Surjewala today lost theKaithal seat to Lila Ram Guj-

jar of the BJP by a margin of567 votes Surjewala like for-mer state Congress presi-dent Ashok Tanwar was con-sidered a confidant of Rahul

Gandhi in particular and theGandhi family in general

While Tanwar has alreadybid adieu to the party afterhe was replaced with Kumari

Selja and ignored in distribu-tion of tickets with Surjew-alarsquos defeat it is like com-plete decimation of TeamRahul in the state Congress

At the personal leveltodayrsquos result is the secondelectoral defeat for Surjewalain the year 2019 as he had lostmiserably in the Jind byelec-tion held in January this year

Many were surprised whenSurjewala chose to contestfrom Jind as it is quiteuncommon for a sitting MLA

to contest from another seatin a byelection

During his campaign in JindSurjewala had to assure peoplethat he would quit Kaithal seatif he won the bypoll Howeverhis statement kept hauntingKaithal where Surjewalarsquosopponent alleged that thoughKaithal voters elected himtwice but he had no attach-ment to them

Accepting his defeat Sur-jewala in a tweet thankedthe people of Kaithal

Kaithal loss big setback for Surjewala Congress DID CONSTITUENCY FEEL BETRAYED

During his campaign for Jind bypoll in January Surjewalahad to assure people that he would quit Kaithal seat ifhe won the bypoll

His statement apparently kept haunting Kaithal whereSurjewalarsquos opponent alleged that though Kaithal voterselected him twice he had no attachment to them as hewas ready to sacrifice the seat for Jind

Chandigarh October 24A month after being replacedas state Congress chief byKumari Selja former Memberof Parliament and partyrsquosDalit face for five years AshokTanwar seems to have lost thepolitical battle as results to theAssembly elections came in

From being the Congresstop brass in the state to beingformer Congress chief RahulGandhirsquos blue-eyed boy andrunning the party on his ownterms Tanwar a former stu-dent leader having quit theparty in haste is now virtuallyout in the cold with few takers

His flip-flop attitude sincehe quit the Congress by offer-ing support to the JJP in the

morning and extending coop-eration to the INLDrsquos AbhayChautala in Ellenabad in theevening also sent mixed sig-nals about the direction hiscareer would take

Sources said his only USPduring the elections was thathe was a former Congresschief and was out to get for-mer Chief Minister BhupinderSingh Hooda His diatribeagainst Hooda was lapped up

by rival political parties whonot only extended support toTanwar but welcomed himwith open arms With elec-tions over and results outTanwarrsquos future continues tohang in the balance since hedoes not have any options ifhe is not willing to join a party

Though it is believed thatTanwarrsquos name for the post ofstate president was initiallyforwarded by former ChiefMinister Bhupinder SinghHooda the two soon fell outand were at daggers drawn asthey went public with theircomplaints against each other

Having declared that he doesnot want to join any politicalparty it remains to be seen howhe intends to keep himself rel-evant on the political scene

Addressing party workershere at the BJP headquartersModi said the CMs wereldquofirst-timersrdquo in the govern-ment as they did not haveany experience in governancebefore getting the chance torun the state in 2014 ldquoButwith their dedication andhard work they could winhearts of people for a repeatmandate I wish them all thebest for their second stintrdquo

On the Haryana results thePM said as he knew people inthe state seldom repeat a gov-

ernment but this timearound the BJP could emergethe largest party in theAssembly which is ldquono meanachievementrdquo particularlywhen the Chief Minister andhis team worked with a slen-der majority of only two seats

ldquoThis is no mean achieve-ment as in the last Assemblyelections the party could get33 per cent of votes but thistime it has increased to 36 per-centrdquo he said

Showing no disappoint-ment for the BJP not going

past the half-way mark inHaryana Modi recalled thatthe party played a distant sec-ond fiddle in the state politicsuntil 2014 ldquoThe BJP used tobe offered seats in single dig-its for which the party didnrsquoteven have any choice We

used to feel happy if the partycould win seats in double dig-its In that context the BJPemerging the single largestparty is laudablerdquo Modi said

The PM also stressed Fad-navis proved himself bybecoming the first Chief Min-ister in past 50 years to havecompleted the full five-yearterm ldquoThere were govern-ments with even two-thirdmajority yet there were noChief Ministers in 50 yearswho could complete the fullfive-year termrdquo he said

Earlier the BJP chief AmitShah stressed both Maha-rashtra and Haryana werenrsquottraditional strongholds of theparty ldquoThis is the first victo-ry in the two states in Modi20 The vote share of the BJPin Haryana has gone up by 3 per cent from the 2014 stateelectionsrdquo said Shah whileasserting that the partywould deliver good gover-nance in the state for thenext five years

Modi Shah and its entireleadership are away from theground realities and theircampaigns did not talk aboutpeoplersquos issues Sharma said

Even after ldquomisuserdquo of offi-cial machinery and stateresources in massive cam-paigns in the two states theBJPrsquos vote share fell signifi-cantly he claimed There is aneed to create a massiveawareness programme thatwill come out in the form of a

lsquojan andolanrsquo ldquoThey cannotterrorise the Indian votersanymorerdquo Sharma said

IAM again confused Should I trycontributing to the economy ofthe country by buying gifts on

Diwali or stick to the long-taken vowto refrain from this useless andpainfully tiring activity

Buying a gift is a tedious exerciseMore than the money involved youhave to invest time in thinking if thegift would be appropriate for the per-son What would suit his taste or whathis household would love to display

Even in case of gifting on generaloccasions like birthdays and anniver-saries you have to be very careful Avase or a bedcover on a birthday orjust anything lying in the house onan anniversary are absolute disas-

ters It is particularly tricky when youwant to pass off something gifted toyou by someone which you yourselfdonrsquot like It is possible that you aregifting back the same suit length thatwas given by the same friend on yourprevious birthday Such passing offof a gift is a social risk

Though a gift is bestowed voluntar-ily it may have an underlying wishand expectation of return Thatwould be the case where gifting isbeing done as a quid pro quo A giftcan also be a thanks-giving act forthe deed done to you by the otherperson perhaps for a service ren-dered free of cost And Diwali is themost opportune time to express grat-itude in the form of a thoughtful gift

Again weird things may happen

You may be the sixth person giving thesame vase or same cake the other per-son has received since morning If youare in public life you may not evenknow the face hidden behind the hugebox that he carries to your room Thewives are also decked up since morn-ing with a tray of sweets and dry fruitsto be offered to the lsquogiftersrsquo knownpersonally or through business cardsstapled on the top of the gift box

Gifting also has its codes A signifi-cant fraction of gifts are unwanted Attimes the giver pays more for theitem than the recipient values A 2009study in the Journal of ExperimentalSocial Psychology found thatalthough givers tend to think a fanci-er expensive gift will be appreciatedmore receivers are happier with

cheaper more practical presentsNathan Novemsky a professor of

marketing at Yale University cau-tions not to overdo the gift wrapPretty wrapping raises expectationsfor a gift and increases the risk ofthe receiver being disappointed ifthe present doesnrsquot live up to theirexpectations A heavy box contain-ing a fluffy cake may result inimmediate disappointment

It also helps to ask what he or shewants because there comes a pointin everybodyrsquos life when you justdonrsquot want any more uselessthough well-intentioned junk

The best I would say is to stayhome away from the market Thisalso will save fuel and the environ-ment from toxic fumes

AFTER two high-profileAssembly elections it mayseem odd to analyse the per-formance of the loser instead

of finding reasons to praise the winnerWell the story of the Opposition snatch-ing defeat from the jaws of victory isinfinitely more interesting than a lack-lustre down-to-the-wire victory for theruling party Despite being two com-pletely dissimilar states Maharashtraand Haryana have thrown up resultsthat have a lot in common while theBJP dropped more than 10 per centseats thereby losing its sheen of invin-cibility in Maharashtra it has lost evenits majority in Haryana Most Haryanaministers have lost again proving thatthe Modi magic is not enough to tideover anti-incumbency In short theabrogation of Article 370 or Hindutvahyper-nationalism is no counter to thelack of governance administrativesloth and representational politicstermed loosely as caste combinations

Yet the Opposition could not winthese elections And the prime reasonis the brand of politics pursued by Con-gress leader Rahul Gandhi who gets itwrong election after election Herefused to anoint a strong satrap forMaharashtra and his antipathy forBhupinder Singh Hooda has cost hisparty the government in Haryana Thisis a strange situation where the pri-mary Opposition partyrsquos leader landsup to perform during the polls only tovanish later leaving the cadre and itsregional leaders in the lurch There issomething seriously wrong with RahulGandhirsquos leadership particularlywhen he is compared with the 78-year-old Sharad Pawar and 72-year-old Hoo-da Pawar single-handedly cam-paigned all across his strongholds inMaharashtra turning the tide in favour

of his party NCP which emerged as thesingle-largest Opposition party

The Congress has always taken thelarger share of seats in the Maharashtraalliance but this time around the NCPhas proven that though it contested alesser number of seats it is the biggerand stronger partner This despite theBJP trying its best to poach and getNCPrsquos second-rung leaders to defectWhat was missing in the campaign forthe Congress was a tall leader whocould sway the masses or concentrateall the anti-government forces factorsand emotions The results could havebeen different had the alliance workedas one under the leadership of PawarBut then Congress president SoniaGandhi could never trust Pawar or forthat matter any organic mass leaderwho could pose a threat to her son

Hooda was on the verge of splittingthe Congress in Haryana until thefirst week of September Rahul Gand-hirsquos chosen men in Haryana AshokTanwar and Randeep Surjewala hadbeen proven disastrous yet the highcommand did its best to push the par-tyrsquos tallest leader out Somehow Hoo-da managed to hang on and his per-formance is actually a bigger setbackto Rahul than to BJP Chief Minister

ML Khattar because Hooda managedto win 100 per cent more seats thanthe Congress did in 2014 Hoodarsquoscomeback could have been morespectacular had he been in the saddleafter Surjewalarsquos miserable defeat inthe bypolls earlier this year

That brings us to the biggest ques-tion what is essentially wrong withRahulrsquos politics He claims to usherin alternative politics of social trans-formation But this cannot beachieved by frequently flying out forvacations and flying in to abuse ModiTransformative politics happens onthe ground and Rahul as a politicianalways relied on others to even man-age Amethi his family inheritancefinally losing it after he threw out theman who worked hard all these yearsfor him A politician who claims torepresent new ideas in politics had torely on Keralarsquos moth-eaten minoritypolitics to re-enter Lok Sabha

So his great disdain for the old guardis just skin-deep or more precisely abundle of prejudices over personalchoices and has nothing to do with pol-itics of probity or justice Most in hiscoterie are just as feudal opportunisticand corrupt as those he dislikes Theonly difference is that his coterie com-

prises inefficient inheritors who can-not win elections or defeat the SanghParivar The worst aspect of Rahulrsquosleadership is his hypocrisy aboutintegrity inheritance and modernityThe Congress has not had new ideaspurges or leaps of faith under his lead-ership Yet neither Sonia Gandhi norPriyanka Vadra campaigned duringthese elections leaving the field openfor Rahul proving once again his pri-macy in the family-run concern

Now that it has been proven that theBJP is indeed vulnerable to anti-incum-bency be it over flood mismanagementin western Maharashtra or governancedeficit in Haryana the Oppositionought to look beyond the Gandhi fami-ly for leadership Pawar MamataBanerjee Jaganmohan Reddy andmany others have already establishedthe fallacy of the familyrsquos claim to theCongress legacy A grand merger of theCongress and its many splinters couldprove a game-changer particularly pro-viding the Opposition the leadershipthat the country sorely lacks now

It is wrong to compare Modi withVladimir Putin or Recep Erdoganbecause the BJP still needs the mobil-ising muscle of the RSS cadre to winelections In this context an effectiveOpposition could always upstage theincumbent with cunning and effi-ciency But that cannot be the Rahul-led Congress Yet the Congressmenthough the best opportunists in Indi-an politics are still not convinced thatthe family is nothing but the sumtotal of satraps without adding any-thing to the party Once this realisa-tion dawns on them the Congress-men ought to drop the burden ofRahulrsquos personal prejudices lookingwithin for a better leader like CaptainAmarinder Singh who keeps per-forming despite Rahulrsquos apathy

If the Congress does not choose anew leader anti-BJP parties as awhole will be forced to thinkbeyond the Gandhi family for thesake of our democracy Finally evenfor opportunistic power-grabbersthese results prove that power iswithin an armrsquos reach for thosewho think dare and take on Modi atthe Centre and in the states

Hit hard by hubrisSetbacks in Haryana Maharashtra a wake-up call for BJP

THE Assembly elections and the Lok Sabha polls are polesapart even if these are held within months of each otherEuphoric over its emphatic victory in the 2019 General Elec-

tion the BJP had conveniently forgotten this basic truism of elec-toral politics The results of the Haryana and Maharashtra Assem-bly polls have bitterly reminded the saffron party that extrapolatingthe bigger battlersquos outcome to that of the smaller one is a perilousstrategy The ruling partyrsquos tally of seats has dropped significantlyin both states The fall has been harder in Haryana where ChiefMinister Manohar Lal Khattar faces a Herculean task cobblingtogether a coalition government In Maharashtra ageing stalwartSharad Pawar has shown the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance that he is noalso-ran even in the twilight of his career

The BJP which had won all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the northernstate in May this year committed the blunder of writing off the belea-guered Congress and the fledgling Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) Withthe Grand Old Partyrsquos high command lying low it all boiled down tohow hard ex-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former Union MinisterSelja could push themselves And both did a fairly good job as theCongress comfortably emerged as the second-largest party mdash quite aturnaround after its forgettable show in the 2014 Assembly electionsAnother key factor was Khattarrsquos failure to dispel the perception thatthe state government was being remote-controlled from New Delhi

The plank of national security had done the trick for the BJP in thisyearrsquos Lok Sabha polls in the backdrop of the Pulwama terror attackand the Balakot airstrikes The party tried to run a similar tape in theAssembly elections where local issues are of paramount importanceIn the self-congratulatory mode after the abrogation of Article 370 theBJP came a cropper in addressing the concerns of farmers and othermajor vote banks The voters of Haryana and Maharashtra havepricked the partyrsquos bubble of invincibility Accepting the mandatewith humility and recalibrating its policies should be the way forwardThere is no room for complacency any more

core base mdash the aam aadmi mdash Arvind Kejriwalrsquos government hadbeen doling out sops in the form of free electricity water and bus ridesfor women to name a few By announcing the decision to grant own-ership rights to those living in illegal colonies a move expected to ben-efit 40-50 lakh people mostly migrants or those belonging to the low-income groups the Centre has tried to steal AAPrsquos thunder WhileKejriwal had accused the Central government of wanting to demolishthese colonies Union Minister Hardeep Puri returned the barb blam-ing AAP for lsquodelayingrsquo the decision It is also significant that while theCentre initiated the NRC to identify lsquonon-citizensrsquo it has opted to bemore inclusive in Delhi electoral gains perhaps the prime mover

The 1797 unauthorised colonies are spread over all 70 constituen-cies with nearly two lakh voters in each constituency The governmenthas said ownership rights would be given to the residents at extreme-ly low rates and the colonies would be categorised depending on thetype of land they have come up on The process is to begin with thedelineation of boundaries for which there was a proposal to use satel-lite images or even drone mapping The Centre has accused the DelhiGovernment of not doing so and seeking time till 2021 The proposaldoes not apply to 69 affluent colonies a major stumbling block earlier

Regularisation may push up property prices but the challengelies in providing infrastructure in a city already stretched to its limits There is a lesson for both the AAP and BJP after the Maha-rashtra and Haryana elections You canrsquot rest on your laurels andtake voters for granted Constant striving and maintaining connectare the only ways not to yield ground

Mr Norton on Lord SinhaMR Eardley Nortonrsquos ill-tempered attack on Lord Sinha in the pages of arecent issue of the Looker On must have been noticed by many It wasreproduced we have not really been able to understand why by almost allIndian-edited papers perhaps with the solitary exception of ourselves MrNorton brought some definite charges against Lord Sinha We are glad tofind that Mr SR Bomanji writing to the press from England nails to thecounter almost all these charges One of these charges was that Lord Sinhawas elected President of the Bombay Congress in 1915 by officialauthority Mr Bomanji who was one of the Secretaries of the ReceptionCommittee says that he knows it as a matter of fact that it was at theearnest request of Sir Pherozeshah Mehta and Sir Dinshaw Wacha backedby Mr Bhupendranath Basu and other Congress leaders that Lord Sinhaultimately agreed to accept the Presidentship of the Congress As regardsthe other charge that Lord Sinha never subscribed to the Congress fundsMr Bomanji writes ldquoI know he personally paid a considerable sum ofmoney to the Congress and paid off a substantial portion of the debt whichthe Bengal Congress Committee owed to the British Committeerdquo On theother charge brought by Mr Norton that Lord Sinha had submitted thedraft of his Presidential address to Lord Carmichael for approval MrBomanji observes ldquoI know it is not true and I speak on the best authorityhe sent to Lord Carmichael a printed copy of his speech when he wassending other copies to the Pressrdquo Any comment on the above is needlessWe hope that Mr Norton will after this withdraw all that he said That isthe only honourable course left open to him

Gifting the big dilemma

Despite a stunning show the Opposition could not taste victory The prime reason the brand of politics

pursued by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi

NOUS INDICARAJESH RAMACHANDRAN

BJPrsquos cloak of invincibility is off but the Opposition is stuck without a leader

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 25 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED

IN the end regardless of the num-bers and the degree of competitionamong the stakeholders it is thespirit of the mandate emanating

from the Maharashtra and HaryanaAssembly polls that is likely to leave itsimprint not only on the states but alsoon the country Every electoral outcomecarries one or more messages for theplayers and the electorate The latestAssembly elections mdash the first to beheld after the BJPrsquos spectacular show-ing in the Lok Sabha polls in May 2019mdash came with a cautionary tale for theruling party valuable counsel for theCongress and hope and optimism forthe regional parties that have emergedas king-makers or pressure groups inboth Haryana and Maharashtra after along spell of a near-hegemonic holdover the polity by the BJP

Dismissed as lsquotiresomely one-sidedrsquo by political pundits and alsquoBJP-all-the-wayrsquo reading by mostpollsters with one honourableexception the results sprang a sur-prise Doubtless the BJP and its allythe Shiv Sena swung Maharashtrafor a second innings but the resulthad a significant subtext

First the BJPrsquos aspirations to sur-pass the Sena that had not been theamenable of partners in Chief Minis-ter Devendra Fadnavisrsquo first tenurewere dashed The BJP barelyreached the three-digit mark

although objectively speaking itcontested fewer seats this time thanit did in 2014 when it went solo andteamed up with the Sena after theelections The BJP and the Senariled each other on quite a few seatswhile on one the allies were pittedagainst one another although theBJP picked up this contentious seat

The debut of Aaditya Thackeray sonof Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was asource of unease for the BJP Aadityawho is on a serious image makeover fora party that was identified withparochialism minority bashing and awarped sense of what lsquoIndiannessrsquowas largely discarded the Senarsquos lega-cy issues such as disrupting Valen-tinersquos Day celebrations and shuttingdown pubs and spoke a modern lan-guage that facilitated a connect withthe new urban demography Aadityarsquoscheerleaders became his ventriloquistsmid-way through electioneering anddemanded that he should be made theCM in sync with the BJPrsquos old formulaof leaving Maharashtra to the Sena andkeeping the Centre Uddhav half-heartedly squashed the demand whilethe BJP insisted that Fadnavis wouldcontinue to helm the coalition

Fadnavis looks a tad vulnerablebecause the BJP has not secured thenumbers it had hoped for certainlynot achieving a tally that would placeit in a commanding position over theSena Worse for Fadnavis the BJPsuffered its losses in Vidarbha hisbackyard (he won from Nagpur southwest) whose farmers were seriouslyimpacted by successive droughts thatFadnavisrsquo flagship irrigation schemeswere unable to mitigate

Although the 36 seats in Mumbaiwere not affected by poor civic infra-structure the environmental damagecaused by the reclamation of forest

land at the Aarey Milk complex forMetro rail expansion and a massivecooperative bank scam that entailedthe loss of lifetime savings for middle-class pensioners the BJP had to forgoseats in the rural areas reinforcingthe trend of a rural-urban divide thatwas manifest in an earlier slew ofAssembly polls held in December2018 While the Congress beset withfactionalism bereft of credible stateleaders and the absence of the Gand-his for the most part from the cam-paign (Rahul Gandhi addressed occa-sional meetings) proved hopelesslyineffective in taking advantage of theanti-incumbency sentiment againstthe Maharashtra government its allythe Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)took as much advantage as its leaderSharad Pawar could in the twilight ofhis political career

The BJP hollowed out to the NCP

spiriting away its local weighty leaderswho controlled the cooperatives andother sources of institutional patron-age to the extent it could Pawar wasnot deterred He soldiered on invokinghis Maratha legacy Perhaps a definingimage of the election was of Pawarcampaigning in heavy rain at Satarawhere the BJP had taken away a stronglocal influencer Udayan Raje Bhosalea descendant of Chhatrapati ShivajiThe combination of sympathy and hispolitical inheritance worked becauseBhosale lost to the NCPrsquos new candi-date The NCP won more seats than theCongress to become the third-largestparty in the new Assembly Howeverthe more significant takeaway from theNCPrsquos showing was that regional lead-ers with a grassroots connect weremore capable of challenging the BJPwhen push came to shove

The BJPrsquos attempts to frame Pawar

and his political confidant PrafulPatel on graft charges and for allegedlinks with the Mumbai underworlddid not upset the NCPrsquos prospectsbecause the allegations were levelledon election eve and smacked of ruth-less cynicism

If the Congress cared to objectivelyanalyse the results of the Maharashtraand Haryana polls two features willnot escape its attention One theyunderscored the indisputable placethat the regional satraps hold irre-spective of how lsquopowerfulrsquo a highcommand might be The performanceput in by Pawar Bhupinder SinghHooda and young Dushyant Chautalaunderscored the importance of identi-fying and nurturing provincial lead-ers Indeed had the Gandhis givenHooda and his son Deepender Hoodaenough political and managerial lati-tude well in advance and not pittedfactions against one another throughrootless players Haryana might haveturned in a different narrative

Second the involvement of theGandhis in these elections was mini-mal Sonia Gandhi and PriyankaGandhi Vadra were absent whileRahul put in a token appearanceWhat did that signify That the Con-gress seriously needed to revisit itscommand structures

For the BJP the takeaways werethat overuse of aggressive national-ism had its limitations economicscannot be decoupled from politicsand the Assembly and parliamen-tary elections are qualitatively dif-ferent Doubtless it has morphed aLok Sabha election into a presiden-tial-style mandate for an individualA state election has its own dynam-ics one of them being that dal-rotiissues take precedence over anoffensive against Pakistan

OLD WARHORSE NCP chief Sharad Pawar with granddaughter Revati Sule He continues to be relevant in Maharashtra politics

The Nationalist CongressParty won more seats than

the Congress to become thethird-largest party in the

new Maharashtra AssemblyHowever the more

significant takeaway fromthe NCPrsquos showing was that

regional leaders with agrassroots connect were

more capable of challengingthe BJP when push

came to shove

THE recent one-on-one talksbetween Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi and Chinese Presi-dent Xi Jinping at Mamallapu-

ram on trade and investment had onetangible outcome There will be a mech-anism in place soon to study the prob-lems pertaining to trade and investmentbetween the two countries It will beimportant to sort out various tradeissues before India accepts the termsand conditions of the mega free tradetreaty the Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership (RCEP) compris-ing 16 countries mdash 10 ASEAN nationsplus China Japan India South KoreaAustralia and New Zealand It will be theworldrsquos biggest economic bloc coveringnearly half of the global economy a littleless than half of the worldrsquos populationand accounting for 39 per cent of theworldrsquos GDP Joining it perhaps willgive India an advantage to negotiate theterms and conditions from within Manymembers of the deal are now quiteimpatient about completing the treatyby November 2019

While it is true that most of the worldtrade is taking place within regionalarrangements and Free Trade Agree-ments (FTAs) India must not be at adisadvantage in opening up to coun-tries that are highly competitive itsmost important competitor is ChinaIndia has to weigh carefully the gainsto be had from signing the treatywhich may mean making itself vul-nerable to having its markets inundat-ed with Chinese goods

The main advantage will be that

India would be able to purchase itsraw material and intermediate goodsat concessional prices from othermembers under the mega FTA On itsown if India has to purchase thesegoods in the international marketsthese would cost much more Interme-diate goods are vital for making Indi-an exports competitive

The other advantage which manyeconomists are pointing out is thatIndia has to integrate itself into theglobal value chains which produceparts of goods in different countriesbut are assembled in a host countrylike China The edge lies in being ableto enter into a chain of global ordersby multinational corporations todeveloping countries to producegoods that are sold internationally

under well-known brand names Mostof the countries to our East are partic-ipating in the global value chains andreaping the benefits of an increase inincome and employment

The treaty may also lead to more FDIinflows from member countries nowthat the government has reduced thecorporate tax rates FDI can create jobsand rev up exports and reverse theeconomic slowdown

In the recent past however accordingto a research paper by Niti AayogIndiarsquos numerous FTAs with regionalpartners have not yielded positiveresults In most cases the FTAs havebeen followed by an increase in importsfrom the partner country India hastrade deficits with 13 member countriesof the RCEP The India-ASEAN FTA

has led to a bigger trade deficit thanbefore With South Korea Japan andThailand too there have been similarresults The surge in imports takesplace as soon as the FTA is concludedbut a similar thrust in exports is miss-ing The auto trigger mechanism ofhigher tariffs proposed by India tocheck the sudden surge in imports maybe ineffective due to lack of monitoringinfrastructure Slack export productionin India is due to lack of competitive-ness in todayrsquos world as shown by theWorld Economic Forumrsquos Global Com-petitiveness Index on which India hasslipped 10 places to the 68th rank

We are losing out to our neighbour-ing countries due to higher logisticscosts and lack of proper port facilitiesthat lead to higher turnaround timefor ships Indian companiesrsquo labourcosts are high because India is notresorting to sweatshop wages On thewhole in terms of quality and pricewe seem to be lagging behind ourneighbours and that is why foreignfirms leaving Chinese shores due tothe US-China trade war and anincrease in tariffs are not coming toIndia Also industrial growth wasonly 11 per cent in August

India has an advantage in servicesexports and has demanded freer move-ment of its service personnel withinthe RCEP and data localisation Thiswill give a boost to our services exportsdespite the language barrier Thisdemand has not been accepted by theRCEP so far All that the treaty wantsIndia to do is to reduce its tariff lines on

80 to 90 per cent of imported goodsReducing tariffs on almost all importswould be like an open invitation to all15 members to flood Indian marketswith their goods India is not able tocompete with China on many itemsand New Zealand in dairy it is this lackof competitiveness which has led togreater unpreparedness for India

First and foremost India has toimprove its industrial growth rapidlywhich may not be easy given our creakyinfrastructure shortage of skilledlabour and complex bureaucracy For allRCEP members except China thedomestic market is small and hencethey need to expand exports and are doing so aggressively China sub-sidises its exports and its financialarchitecture supports export productionmassively Being an authoritarian stateit has a smoother bureaucracy andthere is little scope for disruptions inproduction That is how China hasbecome the worldrsquos biggest exporter

China has to give more access toIndian exports especially of pharma-ceuticals and agricultural productsHopefully the Modi-Xi meeting willlead to addressing the reasons forIndiarsquos ballooning trade deficit of $53billion in 2018-19 There are too manynon-tariff barriers in place in Chinawhich have to be removed whichcould lead to more investment flowsbetween the two countries Otherwiseprogressively low tariff rates whichform the core of the RCEP treaty willseriously hurt our dairy steel MSMEand textile sectors

India must not be at adisadvantage in opening upto countries that are highlycompetitive The countryhas to weigh carefully the

gains to be had fromsigning the treaty under the

Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership

(RCEP) The mainadvantage will be that Indiawould be able to purchase

its raw material andintermediate goods at

concessional prices fromother members

India should tread warily on free trade treaty

FORMIDABLE China subsidises its exports and its financial architecture supports export production massively China is Indiarsquos most important competitor

ldquosupportedrdquo independentsemerged victorious

The BJP even failed to winany seat from the NagrotaAssembly segment which isthe home constituency ofthe sitting Lok Sabha mem-ber Jugal Kishore Sharma

Despite the absence of theopposition candidates theBJP failed to win evenrespectable seats in its bas-tions namely JammuSamba Kathua Udhampurand Reasi districts ExceptKishtwar district the BJPfailed to perform on expect-ed lines in other districts ofthe Jammu province

The Congress which isthe arch-rival of the BJP inthese districts had boy-cotted the elections Despitethis the latter failed to per-form as expected

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

New Delhi October 24In a major setback to tele-com service providers theSupreme Court today ruledthat the Centre was entitledto recover adjusted grossrevenue (AGR) of over Rs92000 crore from them

Allowing the Centrersquosappeal against a TelecomDisputes Settlement andAppellate Tribunalrsquos(TDSAT) order three-judgeBench headed by JusticeArun Mishra upheld thedefinition of AGR formulat-ed by the Department ofTelecom (DoT)

As per the New TelecomPolicy telecom serviceproviders are required toshare a percentage of theirAGR with the governmentas annual licence fee Butthe TDSAT had held thatAGR will include only rev-enue arising from licenceactivities and that capitalassets and receipt from thesale of scrap cannot beincluded in gross revenuefor computation of licencefee The TDSAT had

exempted a large number ofstreams from the definitionof AGR like capitalreceipts bad debt distribu-tion margins to dealersforex fluctuations sale ofscrap and waiver of late fee

Now the top court hasreversed the TDSATrsquos find-ings leading to huge finan-cial burden on telecomservice providers

ldquoWe are of the consideredopinion that interest and

penalty have rightly beenlevied Once an amount ofshortfall has not been paid ithas to carry 50 of the penal-ty on defaulted amount asagreed Thus we find nosubstance in the submissionthat interest penalty andinterest on penalty cannot berealised It is as per theagreementrdquo the top courtsaid adding there was noground to reduce it

Airtel owed Rs 2168213

New Delhi October 24India has jumped 14 places totake the 63rd position on theWorld Bankrsquos ease of doingbusiness ranking released onThursday figuring amongthe top 10 performers on thelist for the third time in a rowmainly due to the successfulimplementation of the Insol-vency and Bankruptcy CodeFinance Minister NirmalaSitharaman today saidefforts will be made to fur-ther simplify the GST whichwould further improveIndiarsquos ranking

Sitharaman also said she ismaking efforts to resolve dif-ferences between the Corpo-rate Affairs Ministry andEnforcement Directorateover the issue of attachmentof property of Bhushan Poweramp Steel Ltd (BPSL) The EDwants to attach the propertyof BPSL under the Preven-tion of Money LaunderingAct (PMLA) while the Min-istry for Corporate Affairs is

opposed to this standJust back from Washing-

ton after meetings withWorld Bank and IMF offi-cials Sitharaman pointedout that India was ranked142nd in 2014 and was at the100thh spot last year Indiais now at the 77th positiondue to reforms in insolven-cy taxation and other areas

However there are appre-hensions that countries tendto game the system becauseof the way in which the rank-ings are compiled Econo-mists have said the legal sys-tems of some countries maylend themselves to higherrates of economic develop-ment but the necessarycausal link between the two

cannot be easily establishedAfter a controversy last year

over higher rankings to Indiaand Chile then World BankChief Economist Paul Romerhad said he did not have ldquocon-fidence in the integrityrdquo of therankings and suggested thatthe data may have been tiltedtowards some countries Buthe later took back his com-ments and resigned

However the rankingsbring some relief to the coun-tryrsquos financial managers whohave to contend with the dis-appointment of RBI WorldBank and IMF slashing eco-nomic growth forecasts

ldquoThis is the third year in arow that India makes to top10 in Doing Business whichis a success which very fewcountries have done over the20 years of the project With-out exception the othercountries that have done thisare very small population-wise and homogeneousrdquoSimeon Djankov WorldBankrsquos Director of Develop-ment Economics said

Sources said his only USPduring the elections was thathe was a former Congresschief and was out to get for-mer Chief Minister BhupinderSingh Hooda His diatribeagainst Hooda was lapped up

by rival political parties whonot only extended support toTanwar but welcomed himwith open arms With elec-tions over and results outTanwarrsquos future continues tohang in the balance since hedoes not have any options ifhe is not willing to join a party

Though it is believed thatTanwarrsquos name for the post ofstate president was initiallyforwarded by former ChiefMinister Bhupinder SinghHooda the two soon fell outand were at daggers drawn asthey went public with theircomplaints against each other

Having declared that he doesnot want to join any politicalparty it remains to be seen howhe intends to keep himself rel-evant on the political scene

Addressing party workershere at the BJP headquartersModi said the CMs wereldquofirst-timersrdquo in the govern-ment as they did not haveany experience in governancebefore getting the chance torun the state in 2014 ldquoButwith their dedication andhard work they could winhearts of people for a repeatmandate I wish them all thebest for their second stintrdquo

On the Haryana results thePM said as he knew people inthe state seldom repeat a gov-

ernment but this timearound the BJP could emergethe largest party in theAssembly which is ldquono meanachievementrdquo particularlywhen the Chief Minister andhis team worked with a slen-der majority of only two seats

ldquoThis is no mean achieve-ment as in the last Assemblyelections the party could get33 per cent of votes but thistime it has increased to 36 per-centrdquo he said

Showing no disappoint-ment for the BJP not going

past the half-way mark inHaryana Modi recalled thatthe party played a distant sec-ond fiddle in the state politicsuntil 2014 ldquoThe BJP used tobe offered seats in single dig-its for which the party didnrsquoteven have any choice We

used to feel happy if the partycould win seats in double dig-its In that context the BJPemerging the single largestparty is laudablerdquo Modi said

The PM also stressed Fad-navis proved himself bybecoming the first Chief Min-ister in past 50 years to havecompleted the full five-yearterm ldquoThere were govern-ments with even two-thirdmajority yet there were noChief Ministers in 50 yearswho could complete the fullfive-year termrdquo he said

SUBER SINGH PARIHAR JALARI

IAM again confused Should I trycontributing to the economy ofthe country by buying gifts on

Diwali or stick to the long-taken vowto refrain from this useless andpainfully tiring activity

Buying a gift is a tedious exerciseMore than the money involved youhave to invest time in thinking if thegift would be appropriate for the per-son What would suit his taste or whathis household would love to display

Even in case of gifting on generaloccasions like birthdays and anniver-saries you have to be very careful Avase or a bedcover on a birthday orjust anything lying in the house onan anniversary are absolute disas-

ters It is particularly tricky when youwant to pass off something gifted toyou by someone which you yourselfdonrsquot like It is possible that you aregifting back the same suit length thatwas given by the same friend on yourprevious birthday Such passing offof a gift is a social risk

Though a gift is bestowed voluntar-ily it may have an underlying wishand expectation of return Thatwould be the case where gifting isbeing done as a quid pro quo A giftcan also be a thanks-giving act forthe deed done to you by the otherperson perhaps for a service ren-dered free of cost And Diwali is themost opportune time to express grat-itude in the form of a thoughtful gift

Again weird things may happen

You may be the sixth person giving thesame vase or same cake the other per-son has received since morning If youare in public life you may not evenknow the face hidden behind the hugebox that he carries to your room Thewives are also decked up since morn-ing with a tray of sweets and dry fruitsto be offered to the lsquogiftersrsquo knownpersonally or through business cardsstapled on the top of the gift box

Gifting also has its codes A signifi-cant fraction of gifts are unwanted Attimes the giver pays more for theitem than the recipient values A 2009study in the Journal of ExperimentalSocial Psychology found thatalthough givers tend to think a fanci-er expensive gift will be appreciatedmore receivers are happier with

cheaper more practical presentsNathan Novemsky a professor of

marketing at Yale University cau-tions not to overdo the gift wrapPretty wrapping raises expectationsfor a gift and increases the risk ofthe receiver being disappointed ifthe present doesnrsquot live up to theirexpectations A heavy box contain-ing a fluffy cake may result inimmediate disappointment

It also helps to ask what he or shewants because there comes a pointin everybodyrsquos life when you justdonrsquot want any more uselessthough well-intentioned junk

The best I would say is to stayhome away from the market Thisalso will save fuel and the environ-ment from toxic fumes

AFTER two high-profileAssembly elections it mayseem odd to analyse the per-formance of the loser instead

of finding reasons to praise the winnerWell the story of the Opposition snatch-ing defeat from the jaws of victory isinfinitely more interesting than a lack-lustre down-to-the-wire victory for theruling party Despite being two com-pletely dissimilar states Maharashtraand Haryana have thrown up resultsthat have a lot in common while theBJP dropped more than 10 per centseats thereby losing its sheen of invin-cibility in Maharashtra it has lost evenits majority in Haryana Most Haryanaministers have lost again proving thatthe Modi magic is not enough to tideover anti-incumbency In short theabrogation of Article 370 or Hindutvahyper-nationalism is no counter to thelack of governance administrativesloth and representational politicstermed loosely as caste combinations

Yet the Opposition could not winthese elections And the prime reasonis the brand of politics pursued by Con-gress leader Rahul Gandhi who gets itwrong election after election Herefused to anoint a strong satrap forMaharashtra and his antipathy forBhupinder Singh Hooda has cost hisparty the government in Haryana Thisis a strange situation where the pri-mary Opposition partyrsquos leader landsup to perform during the polls only tovanish later leaving the cadre and itsregional leaders in the lurch There issomething seriously wrong with RahulGandhirsquos leadership particularlywhen he is compared with the 78-year-old Sharad Pawar and 72-year-old Hoo-da Pawar single-handedly cam-paigned all across his strongholds inMaharashtra turning the tide in favour

of his party NCP which emerged as thesingle-largest Opposition party

The Congress has always taken thelarger share of seats in the Maharashtraalliance but this time around the NCPhas proven that though it contested alesser number of seats it is the biggerand stronger partner This despite theBJP trying its best to poach and getNCPrsquos second-rung leaders to defectWhat was missing in the campaign forthe Congress was a tall leader whocould sway the masses or concentrateall the anti-government forces factorsand emotions The results could havebeen different had the alliance workedas one under the leadership of PawarBut then Congress president SoniaGandhi could never trust Pawar or forthat matter any organic mass leaderwho could pose a threat to her son

Hooda was on the verge of splittingthe Congress in Haryana until thefirst week of September Rahul Gand-hirsquos chosen men in Haryana AshokTanwar and Randeep Surjewala hadbeen proven disastrous yet the highcommand did its best to push the par-tyrsquos tallest leader out Somehow Hoo-da managed to hang on and his per-formance is actually a bigger setbackto Rahul than to BJP Chief Minister

ML Khattar because Hooda managedto win 100 per cent more seats thanthe Congress did in 2014 Hoodarsquoscomeback could have been morespectacular had he been in the saddleafter Surjewalarsquos miserable defeat inthe bypolls earlier this year

That brings us to the biggest ques-tion what is essentially wrong withRahulrsquos politics He claims to usherin alternative politics of social trans-formation But this cannot beachieved by frequently flying out forvacations and flying in to abuse ModiTransformative politics happens onthe ground and Rahul as a politicianalways relied on others to even man-age Amethi his family inheritancefinally losing it after he threw out theman who worked hard all these yearsfor him A politician who claims torepresent new ideas in politics had torely on Keralarsquos moth-eaten minoritypolitics to re-enter Lok Sabha

So his great disdain for the old guardis just skin-deep or more precisely abundle of prejudices over personalchoices and has nothing to do with pol-itics of probity or justice Most in hiscoterie are just as feudal opportunisticand corrupt as those he dislikes Theonly difference is that his coterie com-

prises inefficient inheritors who can-not win elections or defeat the SanghParivar The worst aspect of Rahulrsquosleadership is his hypocrisy aboutintegrity inheritance and modernityThe Congress has not had new ideaspurges or leaps of faith under his lead-ership Yet neither Sonia Gandhi norPriyanka Vadra campaigned duringthese elections leaving the field openfor Rahul proving once again his pri-macy in the family-run concern

Now that it has been proven that theBJP is indeed vulnerable to anti-incum-bency be it over flood mismanagementin western Maharashtra or governancedeficit in Haryana the Oppositionought to look beyond the Gandhi fami-ly for leadership Pawar MamataBanerjee Jaganmohan Reddy andmany others have already establishedthe fallacy of the familyrsquos claim to theCongress legacy A grand merger of theCongress and its many splinters couldprove a game-changer particularly pro-viding the Opposition the leadershipthat the country sorely lacks now

It is wrong to compare Modi withVladimir Putin or Recep Erdoganbecause the BJP still needs the mobil-ising muscle of the RSS cadre to winelections In this context an effectiveOpposition could always upstage theincumbent with cunning and effi-ciency But that cannot be the Rahul-led Congress Yet the Congressmenthough the best opportunists in Indi-an politics are still not convinced thatthe family is nothing but the sumtotal of satraps without adding any-thing to the party Once this realisa-tion dawns on them the Congress-men ought to drop the burden ofRahulrsquos personal prejudices lookingwithin for a better leader like CaptainAmarinder Singh who keeps per-forming despite Rahulrsquos apathy

If the Congress does not choose anew leader anti-BJP parties as awhole will be forced to thinkbeyond the Gandhi family for thesake of our democracy Finally evenfor opportunistic power-grabbersthese results prove that power iswithin an armrsquos reach for thosewho think dare and take on Modi atthe Centre and in the states

THE TRIBUNEestablished in 1881

Hit hard by hubrisSetbacks in Haryana Maharashtra a wake-up call for BJP

THE Assembly elections and the Lok Sabha polls are polesapart even if these are held within months of each otherEuphoric over its emphatic victory in the 2019 General Elec-

tion the BJP had conveniently forgotten this basic truism of elec-toral politics The results of the Haryana and Maharashtra Assem-bly polls have bitterly reminded the saffron party that extrapolatingthe bigger battlersquos outcome to that of the smaller one is a perilousstrategy The ruling partyrsquos tally of seats has dropped significantlyin both states The fall has been harder in Haryana where ChiefMinister Manohar Lal Khattar faces a Herculean task cobblingtogether a coalition government In Maharashtra ageing stalwartSharad Pawar has shown the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance that he is noalso-ran even in the twilight of his career

The BJP which had won all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the northernstate in May this year committed the blunder of writing off the belea-guered Congress and the fledgling Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) Withthe Grand Old Partyrsquos high command lying low it all boiled down tohow hard ex-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former Union MinisterSelja could push themselves And both did a fairly good job as theCongress comfortably emerged as the second-largest party mdash quite aturnaround after its forgettable show in the 2014 Assembly electionsAnother key factor was Khattarrsquos failure to dispel the perception thatthe state government was being remote-controlled from New Delhi

The plank of national security had done the trick for the BJP in thisyearrsquos Lok Sabha polls in the backdrop of the Pulwama terror attackand the Balakot airstrikes The party tried to run a similar tape in theAssembly elections where local issues are of paramount importanceIn the self-congratulatory mode after the abrogation of Article 370 theBJP came a cropper in addressing the concerns of farmers and othermajor vote banks The voters of Haryana and Maharashtra havepricked the partyrsquos bubble of invincibility Accepting the mandatewith humility and recalibrating its policies should be the way forwardThere is no room for complacency any more

Regularising illegal coloniesPopulism apart providing amenities a major challenge

BY approving the proposal to regularise unauthorised colonies inDelhi the Centre has sought to trump the ruling AAP ahead ofthe Assembly elections slated for February 2020 To address its

core base mdash the aam aadmi mdash Arvind Kejriwalrsquos government hadbeen doling out sops in the form of free electricity water and bus ridesfor women to name a few By announcing the decision to grant own-ership rights to those living in illegal colonies a move expected to ben-efit 40-50 lakh people mostly migrants or those belonging to the low-income groups the Centre has tried to steal AAPrsquos thunder WhileKejriwal had accused the Central government of wanting to demolishthese colonies Union Minister Hardeep Puri returned the barb blam-ing AAP for lsquodelayingrsquo the decision It is also significant that while theCentre initiated the NRC to identify lsquonon-citizensrsquo it has opted to bemore inclusive in Delhi electoral gains perhaps the prime mover

The 1797 unauthorised colonies are spread over all 70 constituen-cies with nearly two lakh voters in each constituency The governmenthas said ownership rights would be given to the residents at extreme-ly low rates and the colonies would be categorised depending on thetype of land they have come up on The process is to begin with thedelineation of boundaries for which there was a proposal to use satel-lite images or even drone mapping The Centre has accused the DelhiGovernment of not doing so and seeking time till 2021 The proposaldoes not apply to 69 affluent colonies a major stumbling block earlier

Regularisation may push up property prices but the challengelies in providing infrastructure in a city already stretched to its limits There is a lesson for both the AAP and BJP after the Maha-rashtra and Haryana elections You canrsquot rest on your laurels andtake voters for granted Constant striving and maintaining connectare the only ways not to yield ground

Gifting the big dilemma

Despite a stunning show the Opposition could not taste victory The prime reason the brand of politics

pursued by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi

NOUS INDICARAJESH RAMACHANDRAN

BJPrsquos cloak of invincibility is off but the Opposition is stuck without a leader

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 25 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED

IN the end regardless of the num-bers and the degree of competitionamong the stakeholders it is thespirit of the mandate emanating

from the Maharashtra and HaryanaAssembly polls that is likely to leave itsimprint not only on the states but alsoon the country Every electoral outcomecarries one or more messages for theplayers and the electorate The latestAssembly elections mdash the first to beheld after the BJPrsquos spectacular show-ing in the Lok Sabha polls in May 2019mdash came with a cautionary tale for theruling party valuable counsel for theCongress and hope and optimism forthe regional parties that have emergedas king-makers or pressure groups inboth Haryana and Maharashtra after along spell of a near-hegemonic holdover the polity by the BJP

Dismissed as lsquotiresomely one-sidedrsquo by political pundits and alsquoBJP-all-the-wayrsquo reading by mostpollsters with one honourableexception the results sprang a sur-prise Doubtless the BJP and its allythe Shiv Sena swung Maharashtrafor a second innings but the resulthad a significant subtext

First the BJPrsquos aspirations to sur-pass the Sena that had not been theamenable of partners in Chief Minis-ter Devendra Fadnavisrsquo first tenurewere dashed The BJP barelyreached the three-digit mark

although objectively speaking itcontested fewer seats this time thanit did in 2014 when it went solo andteamed up with the Sena after theelections The BJP and the Senariled each other on quite a few seatswhile on one the allies were pittedagainst one another although theBJP picked up this contentious seat

The debut of Aaditya Thackeray sonof Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was asource of unease for the BJP Aadityawho is on a serious image makeover fora party that was identified withparochialism minority bashing and awarped sense of what lsquoIndiannessrsquowas largely discarded the Senarsquos lega-cy issues such as disrupting Valen-tinersquos Day celebrations and shuttingdown pubs and spoke a modern lan-guage that facilitated a connect withthe new urban demography Aadityarsquoscheerleaders became his ventriloquistsmid-way through electioneering anddemanded that he should be made theCM in sync with the BJPrsquos old formulaof leaving Maharashtra to the Sena andkeeping the Centre Uddhav half-heartedly squashed the demand whilethe BJP insisted that Fadnavis wouldcontinue to helm the coalition

Fadnavis looks a tad vulnerablebecause the BJP has not secured thenumbers it had hoped for certainlynot achieving a tally that would placeit in a commanding position over theSena Worse for Fadnavis the BJPsuffered its losses in Vidarbha hisbackyard (he won from Nagpur southwest) whose farmers were seriouslyimpacted by successive droughts thatFadnavisrsquo flagship irrigation schemeswere unable to mitigate

Although the 36 seats in Mumbaiwere not affected by poor civic infra-structure the environmental damagecaused by the reclamation of forest

land at the Aarey Milk complex forMetro rail expansion and a massivecooperative bank scam that entailedthe loss of lifetime savings for middle-class pensioners the BJP had to forgoseats in the rural areas reinforcingthe trend of a rural-urban divide thatwas manifest in an earlier slew ofAssembly polls held in December2018 While the Congress beset withfactionalism bereft of credible stateleaders and the absence of the Gand-his for the most part from the cam-paign (Rahul Gandhi addressed occa-sional meetings) proved hopelesslyineffective in taking advantage of theanti-incumbency sentiment againstthe Maharashtra government its allythe Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)took as much advantage as its leaderSharad Pawar could in the twilight ofhis political career

The BJP hollowed out to the NCP

spiriting away its local weighty leaderswho controlled the cooperatives andother sources of institutional patron-age to the extent it could Pawar wasnot deterred He soldiered on invokinghis Maratha legacy Perhaps a definingimage of the election was of Pawarcampaigning in heavy rain at Satarawhere the BJP had taken away a stronglocal influencer Udayan Raje Bhosalea descendant of Chhatrapati ShivajiThe combination of sympathy and hispolitical inheritance worked becauseBhosale lost to the NCPrsquos new candi-date The NCP won more seats than theCongress to become the third-largestparty in the new Assembly Howeverthe more significant takeaway from theNCPrsquos showing was that regional lead-ers with a grassroots connect weremore capable of challenging the BJPwhen push came to shove

The BJPrsquos attempts to frame Pawar

and his political confidant PrafulPatel on graft charges and for allegedlinks with the Mumbai underworlddid not upset the NCPrsquos prospectsbecause the allegations were levelledon election eve and smacked of ruth-less cynicism

If the Congress cared to objectivelyanalyse the results of the Maharashtraand Haryana polls two features willnot escape its attention One theyunderscored the indisputable placethat the regional satraps hold irre-spective of how lsquopowerfulrsquo a highcommand might be The performanceput in by Pawar Bhupinder SinghHooda and young Dushyant Chautalaunderscored the importance of identi-fying and nurturing provincial lead-ers Indeed had the Gandhis givenHooda and his son Deepender Hoodaenough political and managerial lati-tude well in advance and not pittedfactions against one another throughrootless players Haryana might haveturned in a different narrative

Second the involvement of theGandhis in these elections was mini-mal Sonia Gandhi and PriyankaGandhi Vadra were absent whileRahul put in a token appearanceWhat did that signify That the Con-gress seriously needed to revisit itscommand structures

For the BJP the takeaways werethat overuse of aggressive national-ism had its limitations economicscannot be decoupled from politicsand the Assembly and parliamen-tary elections are qualitatively dif-ferent Doubtless it has morphed aLok Sabha election into a presiden-tial-style mandate for an individualA state election has its own dynam-ics one of them being that dal-rotiissues take precedence over anoffensive against Pakistan

THE recent one-on-one talksbetween Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi and Chinese Presi-dent Xi Jinping at Mamallapu-

ram on trade and investment had onetangible outcome There will be a mech-anism in place soon to study the prob-lems pertaining to trade and investmentbetween the two countries It will beimportant to sort out various tradeissues before India accepts the termsand conditions of the mega free tradetreaty the Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership (RCEP) compris-ing 16 countries mdash 10 ASEAN nationsplus China Japan India South KoreaAustralia and New Zealand It will be theworldrsquos biggest economic bloc coveringnearly half of the global economy a littleless than half of the worldrsquos populationand accounting for 39 per cent of theworldrsquos GDP Joining it perhaps willgive India an advantage to negotiate theterms and conditions from within Manymembers of the deal are now quiteimpatient about completing the treatyby November 2019

While it is true that most of the worldtrade is taking place within regionalarrangements and Free Trade Agree-ments (FTAs) India must not be at adisadvantage in opening up to coun-tries that are highly competitive itsmost important competitor is ChinaIndia has to weigh carefully the gainsto be had from signing the treatywhich may mean making itself vul-nerable to having its markets inundat-ed with Chinese goods

The main advantage will be that

India would be able to purchase itsraw material and intermediate goodsat concessional prices from othermembers under the mega FTA On itsown if India has to purchase thesegoods in the international marketsthese would cost much more Interme-diate goods are vital for making Indi-an exports competitive

The other advantage which manyeconomists are pointing out is thatIndia has to integrate itself into theglobal value chains which produceparts of goods in different countriesbut are assembled in a host countrylike China The edge lies in being ableto enter into a chain of global ordersby multinational corporations todeveloping countries to producegoods that are sold internationally

under well-known brand names Mostof the countries to our East are partic-ipating in the global value chains andreaping the benefits of an increase inincome and employment

The treaty may also lead to more FDIinflows from member countries nowthat the government has reduced thecorporate tax rates FDI can create jobsand rev up exports and reverse theeconomic slowdown

In the recent past however accordingto a research paper by Niti AayogIndiarsquos numerous FTAs with regionalpartners have not yielded positiveresults In most cases the FTAs havebeen followed by an increase in importsfrom the partner country India hastrade deficits with 13 member countriesof the RCEP The India-ASEAN FTA

has led to a bigger trade deficit thanbefore With South Korea Japan andThailand too there have been similarresults The surge in imports takesplace as soon as the FTA is concludedbut a similar thrust in exports is miss-ing The auto trigger mechanism ofhigher tariffs proposed by India tocheck the sudden surge in imports maybe ineffective due to lack of monitoringinfrastructure Slack export productionin India is due to lack of competitive-ness in todayrsquos world as shown by theWorld Economic Forumrsquos Global Com-petitiveness Index on which India hasslipped 10 places to the 68th rank

We are losing out to our neighbour-ing countries due to higher logisticscosts and lack of proper port facilitiesthat lead to higher turnaround timefor ships Indian companiesrsquo labourcosts are high because India is notresorting to sweatshop wages On thewhole in terms of quality and pricewe seem to be lagging behind ourneighbours and that is why foreignfirms leaving Chinese shores due tothe US-China trade war and anincrease in tariffs are not coming toIndia Also industrial growth wasonly 11 per cent in August

India has an advantage in servicesexports and has demanded freer move-ment of its service personnel withinthe RCEP and data localisation Thiswill give a boost to our services exportsdespite the language barrier Thisdemand has not been accepted by theRCEP so far All that the treaty wantsIndia to do is to reduce its tariff lines on

80 to 90 per cent of imported goodsReducing tariffs on almost all importswould be like an open invitation to all15 members to flood Indian marketswith their goods India is not able tocompete with China on many itemsand New Zealand in dairy it is this lackof competitiveness which has led togreater unpreparedness for India

First and foremost India has toimprove its industrial growth rapidlywhich may not be easy given our creakyinfrastructure shortage of skilledlabour and complex bureaucracy For allRCEP members except China thedomestic market is small and hencethey need to expand exports and are doing so aggressively China sub-sidises its exports and its financialarchitecture supports export productionmassively Being an authoritarian stateit has a smoother bureaucracy andthere is little scope for disruptions inproduction That is how China hasbecome the worldrsquos biggest exporter

China has to give more access toIndian exports especially of pharma-ceuticals and agricultural productsHopefully the Modi-Xi meeting willlead to addressing the reasons forIndiarsquos ballooning trade deficit of $53billion in 2018-19 There are too manynon-tariff barriers in place in Chinawhich have to be removed whichcould lead to more investment flowsbetween the two countries Otherwiseprogressively low tariff rates whichform the core of the RCEP treaty willseriously hurt our dairy steel MSMEand textile sectors

The party candidates evenlost in the home blocks of allsenior leaders allegedly dueto infighting including thatof state president RavinderRaina where the opposition

The BJP even failed to winany seat from the NagrotaAssembly segment which isthe home constituency ofthe sitting Lok Sabha mem-ber Jugal Kishore Sharma

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

NewDelhi October 24Terming the Assembly pollresults in Haryana and Maha-rashtra as an ldquounprecedentedvictoryrdquo for the BJP PrimeMinister Narendra Moditoday virtually endorsed thatincumbent Manohar LalKhattar and Devendra Fad-navis in their respectivestates will have a re-run forthe next five years

Addressing party workershere at the BJP headquartersModi said the CMs wereldquofirst-timersrdquo in the govern-ment as they did not haveany experience in governancebefore getting the chance torun the state in 2014 ldquoButwith their dedication andhard work they could winhearts of people for a repeatmandate I wish them all thebest for their second stintrdquo

On the Haryana results thePM said as he knew people inthe state seldom repeat a gov-

ernment but this timearound the BJP could emergethe largest party in theAssembly which is ldquono meanachievementrdquo particularlywhen the Chief Minister andhis team worked with a slen-der majority of only two seats

ldquoThis is no mean achieve-ment as in the last Assemblyelections the party could get33 per cent of votes but thistime it has increased to 36 per-centrdquo he said

Showing no disappoint-ment for the BJP not going

past the half-way mark inHaryana Modi recalled thatthe party played a distant sec-ond fiddle in the state politicsuntil 2014 ldquoThe BJP used tobe offered seats in single dig-its for which the party didnrsquoteven have any choice We

used to feel happy if the partycould win seats in double dig-its In that context the BJPemerging the single largestparty is laudablerdquo Modi said

The PM also stressed Fad-navis proved himself bybecoming the first Chief Min-ister in past 50 years to havecompleted the full five-yearterm ldquoThere were govern-ments with even two-thirdmajority yet there were noChief Ministers in 50 yearswho could complete the fullfive-year termrdquo he said

Earlier the BJP chief AmitShah stressed both Maha-rashtra and Haryana werenrsquottraditional strongholds of theparty ldquoThis is the first victo-ry in the two states in Modi20 The vote share of the BJPin Haryana has gone up by 3 per cent from the 2014 stateelectionsrdquo said Shah whileasserting that the partywould deliver good gover-nance in the state for thenext five years

This verdict is a moral defeatfor the BJP and what theystand forrdquo he told reporters ata press conference

Modi Shah and its entireleadership are away from theground realities and theircampaigns did not talk aboutpeoplersquos issues Sharma said

Even after ldquomisuserdquo of offi-cial machinery and stateresources in massive cam-paigns in the two states theBJPrsquos vote share fell signifi-cantly he claimed There is aneed to create a massiveawareness programme thatwill come out in the form of a

lsquojan andolanrsquo ldquoThey cannotterrorise the Indian votersanymorerdquo Sharma said

IAM again confused Should I trycontributing to the economy ofthe country by buying gifts on

Diwali or stick to the long-taken vowto refrain from this useless andpainfully tiring activity

Buying a gift is a tedious exerciseMore than the money involved youhave to invest time in thinking if thegift would be appropriate for the per-son What would suit his taste or whathis household would love to display

Even in case of gifting on generaloccasions like birthdays and anniver-saries you have to be very careful Avase or a bedcover on a birthday orjust anything lying in the house onan anniversary are absolute disas-

ters It is particularly tricky when youwant to pass off something gifted toyou by someone which you yourselfdonrsquot like It is possible that you aregifting back the same suit length thatwas given by the same friend on yourprevious birthday Such passing offof a gift is a social risk

Though a gift is bestowed voluntar-ily it may have an underlying wishand expectation of return Thatwould be the case where gifting isbeing done as a quid pro quo A giftcan also be a thanks-giving act forthe deed done to you by the otherperson perhaps for a service ren-dered free of cost And Diwali is themost opportune time to express grat-itude in the form of a thoughtful gift

Again weird things may happen

You may be the sixth person giving thesame vase or same cake the other per-son has received since morning If youare in public life you may not evenknow the face hidden behind the hugebox that he carries to your room Thewives are also decked up since morn-ing with a tray of sweets and dry fruitsto be offered to the lsquogiftersrsquo knownpersonally or through business cardsstapled on the top of the gift box

Gifting also has its codes A signifi-cant fraction of gifts are unwanted Attimes the giver pays more for theitem than the recipient values A 2009study in the Journal of ExperimentalSocial Psychology found thatalthough givers tend to think a fanci-er expensive gift will be appreciatedmore receivers are happier with

cheaper more practical presentsNathan Novemsky a professor of

marketing at Yale University cau-tions not to overdo the gift wrapPretty wrapping raises expectationsfor a gift and increases the risk ofthe receiver being disappointed ifthe present doesnrsquot live up to theirexpectations A heavy box contain-ing a fluffy cake may result inimmediate disappointment

It also helps to ask what he or shewants because there comes a pointin everybodyrsquos life when you justdonrsquot want any more uselessthough well-intentioned junk

The best I would say is to stayhome away from the market Thisalso will save fuel and the environ-ment from toxic fumes

AFTER two high-profileAssembly elections it mayseem odd to analyse the per-formance of the loser instead

of finding reasons to praise the winnerWell the story of the Opposition snatch-ing defeat from the jaws of victory isinfinitely more interesting than a lack-lustre down-to-the-wire victory for theruling party Despite being two com-pletely dissimilar states Maharashtraand Haryana have thrown up resultsthat have a lot in common while theBJP dropped more than 10 per centseats thereby losing its sheen of invin-cibility in Maharashtra it has lost evenits majority in Haryana Most Haryanaministers have lost again proving thatthe Modi magic is not enough to tideover anti-incumbency In short theabrogation of Article 370 or Hindutvahyper-nationalism is no counter to thelack of governance administrativesloth and representational politicstermed loosely as caste combinations

Yet the Opposition could not winthese elections And the prime reasonis the brand of politics pursued by Con-gress leader Rahul Gandhi who gets itwrong election after election Herefused to anoint a strong satrap forMaharashtra and his antipathy forBhupinder Singh Hooda has cost hisparty the government in Haryana Thisis a strange situation where the pri-mary Opposition partyrsquos leader landsup to perform during the polls only tovanish later leaving the cadre and itsregional leaders in the lurch There issomething seriously wrong with RahulGandhirsquos leadership particularlywhen he is compared with the 78-year-old Sharad Pawar and 72-year-old Hoo-da Pawar single-handedly cam-paigned all across his strongholds inMaharashtra turning the tide in favour

of his party NCP which emerged as thesingle-largest Opposition party

The Congress has always taken thelarger share of seats in the Maharashtraalliance but this time around the NCPhas proven that though it contested alesser number of seats it is the biggerand stronger partner This despite theBJP trying its best to poach and getNCPrsquos second-rung leaders to defectWhat was missing in the campaign forthe Congress was a tall leader whocould sway the masses or concentrateall the anti-government forces factorsand emotions The results could havebeen different had the alliance workedas one under the leadership of PawarBut then Congress president SoniaGandhi could never trust Pawar or forthat matter any organic mass leaderwho could pose a threat to her son

Hooda was on the verge of splittingthe Congress in Haryana until thefirst week of September Rahul Gand-hirsquos chosen men in Haryana AshokTanwar and Randeep Surjewala hadbeen proven disastrous yet the highcommand did its best to push the par-tyrsquos tallest leader out Somehow Hoo-da managed to hang on and his per-formance is actually a bigger setbackto Rahul than to BJP Chief Minister

ML Khattar because Hooda managedto win 100 per cent more seats thanthe Congress did in 2014 Hoodarsquoscomeback could have been morespectacular had he been in the saddleafter Surjewalarsquos miserable defeat inthe bypolls earlier this year

That brings us to the biggest ques-tion what is essentially wrong withRahulrsquos politics He claims to usherin alternative politics of social trans-formation But this cannot beachieved by frequently flying out forvacations and flying in to abuse ModiTransformative politics happens onthe ground and Rahul as a politicianalways relied on others to even man-age Amethi his family inheritancefinally losing it after he threw out theman who worked hard all these yearsfor him A politician who claims torepresent new ideas in politics had torely on Keralarsquos moth-eaten minoritypolitics to re-enter Lok Sabha

So his great disdain for the old guardis just skin-deep or more precisely abundle of prejudices over personalchoices and has nothing to do with pol-itics of probity or justice Most in hiscoterie are just as feudal opportunisticand corrupt as those he dislikes Theonly difference is that his coterie com-

prises inefficient inheritors who can-not win elections or defeat the SanghParivar The worst aspect of Rahulrsquosleadership is his hypocrisy aboutintegrity inheritance and modernityThe Congress has not had new ideaspurges or leaps of faith under his lead-ership Yet neither Sonia Gandhi norPriyanka Vadra campaigned duringthese elections leaving the field openfor Rahul proving once again his pri-macy in the family-run concern

Now that it has been proven that theBJP is indeed vulnerable to anti-incum-bency be it over flood mismanagementin western Maharashtra or governancedeficit in Haryana the Oppositionought to look beyond the Gandhi fami-ly for leadership Pawar MamataBanerjee Jaganmohan Reddy andmany others have already establishedthe fallacy of the familyrsquos claim to theCongress legacy A grand merger of theCongress and its many splinters couldprove a game-changer particularly pro-viding the Opposition the leadershipthat the country sorely lacks now

It is wrong to compare Modi withVladimir Putin or Recep Erdoganbecause the BJP still needs the mobil-ising muscle of the RSS cadre to winelections In this context an effectiveOpposition could always upstage theincumbent with cunning and effi-ciency But that cannot be the Rahul-led Congress Yet the Congressmenthough the best opportunists in Indi-an politics are still not convinced thatthe family is nothing but the sumtotal of satraps without adding any-thing to the party Once this realisa-tion dawns on them the Congress-men ought to drop the burden ofRahulrsquos personal prejudices lookingwithin for a better leader like CaptainAmarinder Singh who keeps per-forming despite Rahulrsquos apathy

If the Congress does not choose anew leader anti-BJP parties as awhole will be forced to thinkbeyond the Gandhi family for thesake of our democracy Finally evenfor opportunistic power-grabbersthese results prove that power iswithin an armrsquos reach for thosewho think dare and take on Modi atthe Centre and in the states

Hit hard by hubrisSetbacks in Haryana Maharashtra a wake-up call for BJP

THE Assembly elections and the Lok Sabha polls are polesapart even if these are held within months of each otherEuphoric over its emphatic victory in the 2019 General Elec-

tion the BJP had conveniently forgotten this basic truism of elec-toral politics The results of the Haryana and Maharashtra Assem-bly polls have bitterly reminded the saffron party that extrapolatingthe bigger battlersquos outcome to that of the smaller one is a perilousstrategy The ruling partyrsquos tally of seats has dropped significantlyin both states The fall has been harder in Haryana where ChiefMinister Manohar Lal Khattar faces a Herculean task cobblingtogether a coalition government In Maharashtra ageing stalwartSharad Pawar has shown the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance that he is noalso-ran even in the twilight of his career

The BJP which had won all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the northernstate in May this year committed the blunder of writing off the belea-guered Congress and the fledgling Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) Withthe Grand Old Partyrsquos high command lying low it all boiled down tohow hard ex-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former Union MinisterSelja could push themselves And both did a fairly good job as theCongress comfortably emerged as the second-largest party mdash quite aturnaround after its forgettable show in the 2014 Assembly electionsAnother key factor was Khattarrsquos failure to dispel the perception thatthe state government was being remote-controlled from New Delhi

The plank of national security had done the trick for the BJP in thisyearrsquos Lok Sabha polls in the backdrop of the Pulwama terror attackand the Balakot airstrikes The party tried to run a similar tape in theAssembly elections where local issues are of paramount importanceIn the self-congratulatory mode after the abrogation of Article 370 theBJP came a cropper in addressing the concerns of farmers and othermajor vote banks The voters of Haryana and Maharashtra havepricked the partyrsquos bubble of invincibility Accepting the mandatewith humility and recalibrating its policies should be the way forwardThere is no room for complacency any more

Regularising illegal coloniesPopulism apart providing amenities a major challenge

BY approving the proposal to regularise unauthorised colonies inDelhi the Centre has sought to trump the ruling AAP ahead ofthe Assembly elections slated for February 2020 To address its

core base mdash the aam aadmi mdash Arvind Kejriwalrsquos government hadbeen doling out sops in the form of free electricity water and bus ridesfor women to name a few By announcing the decision to grant own-ership rights to those living in illegal colonies a move expected to ben-efit 40-50 lakh people mostly migrants or those belonging to the low-income groups the Centre has tried to steal AAPrsquos thunder WhileKejriwal had accused the Central government of wanting to demolishthese colonies Union Minister Hardeep Puri returned the barb blam-ing AAP for lsquodelayingrsquo the decision It is also significant that while theCentre initiated the NRC to identify lsquonon-citizensrsquo it has opted to bemore inclusive in Delhi electoral gains perhaps the prime mover

The 1797 unauthorised colonies are spread over all 70 constituen-cies with nearly two lakh voters in each constituency The governmenthas said ownership rights would be given to the residents at extreme-ly low rates and the colonies would be categorised depending on thetype of land they have come up on The process is to begin with thedelineation of boundaries for which there was a proposal to use satel-lite images or even drone mapping The Centre has accused the DelhiGovernment of not doing so and seeking time till 2021 The proposaldoes not apply to 69 affluent colonies a major stumbling block earlier

Regularisation may push up property prices but the challengelies in providing infrastructure in a city already stretched to its limits There is a lesson for both the AAP and BJP after the Maha-rashtra and Haryana elections You canrsquot rest on your laurels andtake voters for granted Constant striving and maintaining connectare the only ways not to yield ground

Despite a stunning show the Opposition could not taste victory The prime reason the brand of politics

pursued by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi

NOUS INDICARAJESH RAMACHANDRAN

BJPrsquos cloak of invincibility is off but the Opposition is stuck without a leader

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 25 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED

IN the end regardless of the num-bers and the degree of competitionamong the stakeholders it is thespirit of the mandate emanating

from the Maharashtra and HaryanaAssembly polls that is likely to leave itsimprint not only on the states but alsoon the country Every electoral outcomecarries one or more messages for theplayers and the electorate The latestAssembly elections mdash the first to beheld after the BJPrsquos spectacular show-ing in the Lok Sabha polls in May 2019mdash came with a cautionary tale for theruling party valuable counsel for theCongress and hope and optimism forthe regional parties that have emergedas king-makers or pressure groups inboth Haryana and Maharashtra after along spell of a near-hegemonic holdover the polity by the BJP

Dismissed as lsquotiresomely one-sidedrsquo by political pundits and alsquoBJP-all-the-wayrsquo reading by mostpollsters with one honourableexception the results sprang a sur-prise Doubtless the BJP and its allythe Shiv Sena swung Maharashtrafor a second innings but the resulthad a significant subtext

First the BJPrsquos aspirations to sur-pass the Sena that had not been theamenable of partners in Chief Minis-ter Devendra Fadnavisrsquo first tenurewere dashed The BJP barelyreached the three-digit mark

although objectively speaking itcontested fewer seats this time thanit did in 2014 when it went solo andteamed up with the Sena after theelections The BJP and the Senariled each other on quite a few seatswhile on one the allies were pittedagainst one another although theBJP picked up this contentious seat

The debut of Aaditya Thackeray sonof Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was asource of unease for the BJP Aadityawho is on a serious image makeover fora party that was identified withparochialism minority bashing and awarped sense of what lsquoIndiannessrsquowas largely discarded the Senarsquos lega-cy issues such as disrupting Valen-tinersquos Day celebrations and shuttingdown pubs and spoke a modern lan-guage that facilitated a connect withthe new urban demography Aadityarsquoscheerleaders became his ventriloquistsmid-way through electioneering anddemanded that he should be made theCM in sync with the BJPrsquos old formulaof leaving Maharashtra to the Sena andkeeping the Centre Uddhav half-heartedly squashed the demand whilethe BJP insisted that Fadnavis wouldcontinue to helm the coalition

Fadnavis looks a tad vulnerablebecause the BJP has not secured thenumbers it had hoped for certainlynot achieving a tally that would placeit in a commanding position over theSena Worse for Fadnavis the BJPsuffered its losses in Vidarbha hisbackyard (he won from Nagpur southwest) whose farmers were seriouslyimpacted by successive droughts thatFadnavisrsquo flagship irrigation schemeswere unable to mitigate

Although the 36 seats in Mumbaiwere not affected by poor civic infra-structure the environmental damagecaused by the reclamation of forest

land at the Aarey Milk complex forMetro rail expansion and a massivecooperative bank scam that entailedthe loss of lifetime savings for middle-class pensioners the BJP had to forgoseats in the rural areas reinforcingthe trend of a rural-urban divide thatwas manifest in an earlier slew ofAssembly polls held in December2018 While the Congress beset withfactionalism bereft of credible stateleaders and the absence of the Gand-his for the most part from the cam-paign (Rahul Gandhi addressed occa-sional meetings) proved hopelesslyineffective in taking advantage of theanti-incumbency sentiment againstthe Maharashtra government its allythe Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)took as much advantage as its leaderSharad Pawar could in the twilight ofhis political career

The BJP hollowed out to the NCP

spiriting away its local weighty leaderswho controlled the cooperatives andother sources of institutional patron-age to the extent it could Pawar wasnot deterred He soldiered on invokinghis Maratha legacy Perhaps a definingimage of the election was of Pawarcampaigning in heavy rain at Satarawhere the BJP had taken away a stronglocal influencer Udayan Raje Bhosalea descendant of Chhatrapati ShivajiThe combination of sympathy and hispolitical inheritance worked becauseBhosale lost to the NCPrsquos new candi-date The NCP won more seats than theCongress to become the third-largestparty in the new Assembly Howeverthe more significant takeaway from theNCPrsquos showing was that regional lead-ers with a grassroots connect weremore capable of challenging the BJPwhen push came to shove

The BJPrsquos attempts to frame Pawar

and his political confidant PrafulPatel on graft charges and for allegedlinks with the Mumbai underworlddid not upset the NCPrsquos prospectsbecause the allegations were levelledon election eve and smacked of ruth-less cynicism

If the Congress cared to objectivelyanalyse the results of the Maharashtraand Haryana polls two features willnot escape its attention One theyunderscored the indisputable placethat the regional satraps hold irre-spective of how lsquopowerfulrsquo a highcommand might be The performanceput in by Pawar Bhupinder SinghHooda and young Dushyant Chautalaunderscored the importance of identi-fying and nurturing provincial lead-ers Indeed had the Gandhis givenHooda and his son Deepender Hoodaenough political and managerial lati-tude well in advance and not pittedfactions against one another throughrootless players Haryana might haveturned in a different narrative

Second the involvement of theGandhis in these elections was mini-mal Sonia Gandhi and PriyankaGandhi Vadra were absent whileRahul put in a token appearanceWhat did that signify That the Con-gress seriously needed to revisit itscommand structures

For the BJP the takeaways werethat overuse of aggressive national-ism had its limitations economicscannot be decoupled from politicsand the Assembly and parliamen-tary elections are qualitatively dif-ferent Doubtless it has morphed aLok Sabha election into a presiden-tial-style mandate for an individualA state election has its own dynam-ics one of them being that dal-rotiissues take precedence over anoffensive against Pakistan

THE recent one-on-one talksbetween Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi and Chinese Presi-dent Xi Jinping at Mamallapu-

ram on trade and investment had onetangible outcome There will be a mech-anism in place soon to study the prob-lems pertaining to trade and investmentbetween the two countries It will beimportant to sort out various tradeissues before India accepts the termsand conditions of the mega free tradetreaty the Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership (RCEP) compris-ing 16 countries mdash 10 ASEAN nationsplus China Japan India South KoreaAustralia and New Zealand It will be theworldrsquos biggest economic bloc coveringnearly half of the global economy a littleless than half of the worldrsquos populationand accounting for 39 per cent of theworldrsquos GDP Joining it perhaps willgive India an advantage to negotiate theterms and conditions from within Manymembers of the deal are now quiteimpatient about completing the treatyby November 2019

While it is true that most of the worldtrade is taking place within regionalarrangements and Free Trade Agree-ments (FTAs) India must not be at adisadvantage in opening up to coun-tries that are highly competitive itsmost important competitor is ChinaIndia has to weigh carefully the gainsto be had from signing the treatywhich may mean making itself vul-nerable to having its markets inundat-ed with Chinese goods

The main advantage will be that

India would be able to purchase itsraw material and intermediate goodsat concessional prices from othermembers under the mega FTA On itsown if India has to purchase thesegoods in the international marketsthese would cost much more Interme-diate goods are vital for making Indi-an exports competitive

The other advantage which manyeconomists are pointing out is thatIndia has to integrate itself into theglobal value chains which produceparts of goods in different countriesbut are assembled in a host countrylike China The edge lies in being ableto enter into a chain of global ordersby multinational corporations todeveloping countries to producegoods that are sold internationally

under well-known brand names Mostof the countries to our East are partic-ipating in the global value chains andreaping the benefits of an increase inincome and employment

The treaty may also lead to more FDIinflows from member countries nowthat the government has reduced thecorporate tax rates FDI can create jobsand rev up exports and reverse theeconomic slowdown

In the recent past however accordingto a research paper by Niti AayogIndiarsquos numerous FTAs with regionalpartners have not yielded positiveresults In most cases the FTAs havebeen followed by an increase in importsfrom the partner country India hastrade deficits with 13 member countriesof the RCEP The India-ASEAN FTA

has led to a bigger trade deficit thanbefore With South Korea Japan andThailand too there have been similarresults The surge in imports takesplace as soon as the FTA is concludedbut a similar thrust in exports is miss-ing The auto trigger mechanism ofhigher tariffs proposed by India tocheck the sudden surge in imports maybe ineffective due to lack of monitoringinfrastructure Slack export productionin India is due to lack of competitive-ness in todayrsquos world as shown by theWorld Economic Forumrsquos Global Com-petitiveness Index on which India hasslipped 10 places to the 68th rank

We are losing out to our neighbour-ing countries due to higher logisticscosts and lack of proper port facilitiesthat lead to higher turnaround timefor ships Indian companiesrsquo labourcosts are high because India is notresorting to sweatshop wages On thewhole in terms of quality and pricewe seem to be lagging behind ourneighbours and that is why foreignfirms leaving Chinese shores due tothe US-China trade war and anincrease in tariffs are not coming toIndia Also industrial growth wasonly 11 per cent in August

India has an advantage in servicesexports and has demanded freer move-ment of its service personnel withinthe RCEP and data localisation Thiswill give a boost to our services exportsdespite the language barrier Thisdemand has not been accepted by theRCEP so far All that the treaty wantsIndia to do is to reduce its tariff lines on

80 to 90 per cent of imported goodsReducing tariffs on almost all importswould be like an open invitation to all15 members to flood Indian marketswith their goods India is not able tocompete with China on many itemsand New Zealand in dairy it is this lackof competitiveness which has led togreater unpreparedness for India

First and foremost India has toimprove its industrial growth rapidlywhich may not be easy given our creakyinfrastructure shortage of skilledlabour and complex bureaucracy For allRCEP members except China thedomestic market is small and hencethey need to expand exports and are doing so aggressively China sub-sidises its exports and its financialarchitecture supports export productionmassively Being an authoritarian stateit has a smoother bureaucracy andthere is little scope for disruptions inproduction That is how China hasbecome the worldrsquos biggest exporter

China has to give more access toIndian exports especially of pharma-ceuticals and agricultural productsHopefully the Modi-Xi meeting willlead to addressing the reasons forIndiarsquos ballooning trade deficit of $53billion in 2018-19 There are too manynon-tariff barriers in place in Chinawhich have to be removed whichcould lead to more investment flowsbetween the two countries Otherwiseprogressively low tariff rates whichform the core of the RCEP treaty willseriously hurt our dairy steel MSMEand textile sectors

India must not be at adisadvantage in opening upto countries that are highlycompetitive The countryhas to weigh carefully the

gains to be had fromsigning the treaty under the

Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership

(RCEP) The mainadvantage will be that Indiawould be able to purchase

its raw material andintermediate goods at

concessional prices fromother members

India should tread warily on free trade treaty

FORMIDABLE China subsidises its exports and its financial architecture supports export production massively China is Indiarsquos most important competitor

Despite boycott by theNational Conference (NC)Congress and PDP theBJP managed to get only53 seats out of the total148 in the Hindu-domi-nated Jammu region con-sidered as the strongholdof the party

The party candidates evenlost in the home blocks of allsenior leaders allegedly dueto infighting including thatof state president RavinderRaina where the opposition

ldquosupportedrdquo independentsemerged victorious

The BJP even failed to winany seat from the NagrotaAssembly segment which isthe home constituency ofthe sitting Lok Sabha mem-ber Jugal Kishore Sharma

Despite the absence of theopposition candidates theBJP failed to win evenrespectable seats in its bas-tions namely JammuSamba Kathua Udhampurand Reasi districts ExceptKishtwar district the BJPfailed to perform on expect-ed lines in other districts ofthe Jammu province

The Congress which isthe arch-rival of the BJP inthese districts had boy-cotted the elections Despitethis the latter failed to per-form as expected

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

New Delhi October 24In a major setback to tele-com service providers theSupreme Court today ruledthat the Centre was entitledto recover adjusted grossrevenue (AGR) of over Rs92000 crore from them

Allowing the Centrersquosappeal against a TelecomDisputes Settlement andAppellate Tribunalrsquos(TDSAT) order three-judgeBench headed by JusticeArun Mishra upheld thedefinition of AGR formulat-ed by the Department ofTelecom (DoT)

As per the New TelecomPolicy telecom serviceproviders are required toshare a percentage of theirAGR with the governmentas annual licence fee Butthe TDSAT had held thatAGR will include only rev-enue arising from licenceactivities and that capitalassets and receipt from thesale of scrap cannot beincluded in gross revenuefor computation of licencefee The TDSAT had

exempted a large number ofstreams from the definitionof AGR like capitalreceipts bad debt distribu-tion margins to dealersforex fluctuations sale ofscrap and waiver of late fee

Now the top court hasreversed the TDSATrsquos find-ings leading to huge finan-cial burden on telecomservice providers

ldquoWe are of the consideredopinion that interest and

penalty have rightly beenlevied Once an amount ofshortfall has not been paid ithas to carry 50 of the penal-ty on defaulted amount asagreed Thus we find nosubstance in the submissionthat interest penalty andinterest on penalty cannot berealised It is as per theagreementrdquo the top courtsaid adding there was noground to reduce it

Airtel owed Rs 2168213

crore as licence fee to thegovernment while Voda-fone and Reliance Commu-nications owed Rs 1982371crore and Rs 1645647crore respectively the DoThad said adding the state-owned BSNL owed Rs209872 crore and MTNLowed Rs 253748 crore Thetotal amount to be recov-ered from telecom compa-nies was to the tune of Rs9264161 crore it had said

New Delhi October 24India has jumped 14 places totake the 63rd position on theWorld Bankrsquos ease of doingbusiness ranking released onThursday figuring amongthe top 10 performers on thelist for the third time in a rowmainly due to the successfulimplementation of the Insol-vency and Bankruptcy CodeFinance Minister NirmalaSitharaman today saidefforts will be made to fur-ther simplify the GST whichwould further improveIndiarsquos ranking

Sitharaman also said she ismaking efforts to resolve dif-ferences between the Corpo-rate Affairs Ministry andEnforcement Directorateover the issue of attachmentof property of Bhushan Poweramp Steel Ltd (BPSL) The EDwants to attach the propertyof BPSL under the Preven-tion of Money LaunderingAct (PMLA) while the Min-istry for Corporate Affairs is

opposed to this standJust back from Washing-

ton after meetings withWorld Bank and IMF offi-cials Sitharaman pointedout that India was ranked142nd in 2014 and was at the100thh spot last year Indiais now at the 77th positiondue to reforms in insolven-cy taxation and other areas

However there are appre-hensions that countries tendto game the system becauseof the way in which the rank-ings are compiled Econo-mists have said the legal sys-tems of some countries maylend themselves to higherrates of economic develop-ment but the necessarycausal link between the two

cannot be easily establishedAfter a controversy last year

over higher rankings to Indiaand Chile then World BankChief Economist Paul Romerhad said he did not have ldquocon-fidence in the integrityrdquo of therankings and suggested thatthe data may have been tiltedtowards some countries Buthe later took back his com-ments and resigned

However the rankingsbring some relief to the coun-tryrsquos financial managers whohave to contend with the dis-appointment of RBI WorldBank and IMF slashing eco-nomic growth forecasts

ldquoThis is the third year in arow that India makes to top10 in Doing Business whichis a success which very fewcountries have done over the20 years of the project With-out exception the othercountries that have done thisare very small population-wise and homogeneousrdquoSimeon Djankov WorldBankrsquos Director of Develop-ment Economics said

Addressing party workershere at the BJP headquartersModi said the CMs wereldquofirst-timersrdquo in the govern-ment as they did not haveany experience in governancebefore getting the chance torun the state in 2014 ldquoButwith their dedication andhard work they could winhearts of people for a repeatmandate I wish them all thebest for their second stintrdquo

On the Haryana results thePM said as he knew people inthe state seldom repeat a gov-

ernment but this timearound the BJP could emergethe largest party in theAssembly which is ldquono meanachievementrdquo particularlywhen the Chief Minister andhis team worked with a slen-der majority of only two seats

ldquoThis is no mean achieve-ment as in the last Assemblyelections the party could get33 per cent of votes but thistime it has increased to 36 per-centrdquo he said

Showing no disappoint-ment for the BJP not going

past the half-way mark inHaryana Modi recalled thatthe party played a distant sec-ond fiddle in the state politicsuntil 2014 ldquoThe BJP used tobe offered seats in single dig-its for which the party didnrsquoteven have any choice We

used to feel happy if the partycould win seats in double dig-its In that context the BJPemerging the single largestparty is laudablerdquo Modi said

The PM also stressed Fad-navis proved himself bybecoming the first Chief Min-ister in past 50 years to havecompleted the full five-yearterm ldquoThere were govern-ments with even two-thirdmajority yet there were noChief Ministers in 50 yearswho could complete the fullfive-year termrdquo he said

IAM again confused Should I trycontributing to the economy ofthe country by buying gifts on

Diwali or stick to the long-taken vowto refrain from this useless andpainfully tiring activity

Buying a gift is a tedious exerciseMore than the money involved youhave to invest time in thinking if thegift would be appropriate for the per-son What would suit his taste or whathis household would love to display

Even in case of gifting on generaloccasions like birthdays and anniver-saries you have to be very careful Avase or a bedcover on a birthday orjust anything lying in the house onan anniversary are absolute disas-

ters It is particularly tricky when youwant to pass off something gifted toyou by someone which you yourselfdonrsquot like It is possible that you aregifting back the same suit length thatwas given by the same friend on yourprevious birthday Such passing offof a gift is a social risk

Though a gift is bestowed voluntar-ily it may have an underlying wishand expectation of return Thatwould be the case where gifting isbeing done as a quid pro quo A giftcan also be a thanks-giving act forthe deed done to you by the otherperson perhaps for a service ren-dered free of cost And Diwali is themost opportune time to express grat-itude in the form of a thoughtful gift

Again weird things may happen

You may be the sixth person giving thesame vase or same cake the other per-son has received since morning If youare in public life you may not evenknow the face hidden behind the hugebox that he carries to your room Thewives are also decked up since morn-ing with a tray of sweets and dry fruitsto be offered to the lsquogiftersrsquo knownpersonally or through business cardsstapled on the top of the gift box

Gifting also has its codes A signifi-cant fraction of gifts are unwanted Attimes the giver pays more for theitem than the recipient values A 2009study in the Journal of ExperimentalSocial Psychology found thatalthough givers tend to think a fanci-er expensive gift will be appreciatedmore receivers are happier with

cheaper more practical presentsNathan Novemsky a professor of

marketing at Yale University cau-tions not to overdo the gift wrapPretty wrapping raises expectationsfor a gift and increases the risk ofthe receiver being disappointed ifthe present doesnrsquot live up to theirexpectations A heavy box contain-ing a fluffy cake may result inimmediate disappointment

It also helps to ask what he or shewants because there comes a pointin everybodyrsquos life when you justdonrsquot want any more uselessthough well-intentioned junk

The best I would say is to stayhome away from the market Thisalso will save fuel and the environ-ment from toxic fumes

AFTER two high-profileAssembly elections it mayseem odd to analyse the per-formance of the loser instead

of finding reasons to praise the winnerWell the story of the Opposition snatch-ing defeat from the jaws of victory isinfinitely more interesting than a lack-lustre down-to-the-wire victory for theruling party Despite being two com-pletely dissimilar states Maharashtraand Haryana have thrown up resultsthat have a lot in common while theBJP dropped more than 10 per centseats thereby losing its sheen of invin-cibility in Maharashtra it has lost evenits majority in Haryana Most Haryanaministers have lost again proving thatthe Modi magic is not enough to tideover anti-incumbency In short theabrogation of Article 370 or Hindutvahyper-nationalism is no counter to thelack of governance administrativesloth and representational politicstermed loosely as caste combinations

Yet the Opposition could not winthese elections And the prime reasonis the brand of politics pursued by Con-gress leader Rahul Gandhi who gets itwrong election after election Herefused to anoint a strong satrap forMaharashtra and his antipathy forBhupinder Singh Hooda has cost hisparty the government in Haryana Thisis a strange situation where the pri-mary Opposition partyrsquos leader landsup to perform during the polls only tovanish later leaving the cadre and itsregional leaders in the lurch There issomething seriously wrong with RahulGandhirsquos leadership particularlywhen he is compared with the 78-year-old Sharad Pawar and 72-year-old Hoo-da Pawar single-handedly cam-paigned all across his strongholds inMaharashtra turning the tide in favour

of his party NCP which emerged as thesingle-largest Opposition party

The Congress has always taken thelarger share of seats in the Maharashtraalliance but this time around the NCPhas proven that though it contested alesser number of seats it is the biggerand stronger partner This despite theBJP trying its best to poach and getNCPrsquos second-rung leaders to defectWhat was missing in the campaign forthe Congress was a tall leader whocould sway the masses or concentrateall the anti-government forces factorsand emotions The results could havebeen different had the alliance workedas one under the leadership of PawarBut then Congress president SoniaGandhi could never trust Pawar or forthat matter any organic mass leaderwho could pose a threat to her son

Hooda was on the verge of splittingthe Congress in Haryana until thefirst week of September Rahul Gand-hirsquos chosen men in Haryana AshokTanwar and Randeep Surjewala hadbeen proven disastrous yet the highcommand did its best to push the par-tyrsquos tallest leader out Somehow Hoo-da managed to hang on and his per-formance is actually a bigger setbackto Rahul than to BJP Chief Minister

ML Khattar because Hooda managedto win 100 per cent more seats thanthe Congress did in 2014 Hoodarsquoscomeback could have been morespectacular had he been in the saddleafter Surjewalarsquos miserable defeat inthe bypolls earlier this year

That brings us to the biggest ques-tion what is essentially wrong withRahulrsquos politics He claims to usherin alternative politics of social trans-formation But this cannot beachieved by frequently flying out forvacations and flying in to abuse ModiTransformative politics happens onthe ground and Rahul as a politicianalways relied on others to even man-age Amethi his family inheritancefinally losing it after he threw out theman who worked hard all these yearsfor him A politician who claims torepresent new ideas in politics had torely on Keralarsquos moth-eaten minoritypolitics to re-enter Lok Sabha

So his great disdain for the old guardis just skin-deep or more precisely abundle of prejudices over personalchoices and has nothing to do with pol-itics of probity or justice Most in hiscoterie are just as feudal opportunisticand corrupt as those he dislikes Theonly difference is that his coterie com-

prises inefficient inheritors who can-not win elections or defeat the SanghParivar The worst aspect of Rahulrsquosleadership is his hypocrisy aboutintegrity inheritance and modernityThe Congress has not had new ideaspurges or leaps of faith under his lead-ership Yet neither Sonia Gandhi norPriyanka Vadra campaigned duringthese elections leaving the field openfor Rahul proving once again his pri-macy in the family-run concern

Now that it has been proven that theBJP is indeed vulnerable to anti-incum-bency be it over flood mismanagementin western Maharashtra or governancedeficit in Haryana the Oppositionought to look beyond the Gandhi fami-ly for leadership Pawar MamataBanerjee Jaganmohan Reddy andmany others have already establishedthe fallacy of the familyrsquos claim to theCongress legacy A grand merger of theCongress and its many splinters couldprove a game-changer particularly pro-viding the Opposition the leadershipthat the country sorely lacks now

It is wrong to compare Modi withVladimir Putin or Recep Erdoganbecause the BJP still needs the mobil-ising muscle of the RSS cadre to winelections In this context an effectiveOpposition could always upstage theincumbent with cunning and effi-ciency But that cannot be the Rahul-led Congress Yet the Congressmenthough the best opportunists in Indi-an politics are still not convinced thatthe family is nothing but the sumtotal of satraps without adding any-thing to the party Once this realisa-tion dawns on them the Congress-men ought to drop the burden ofRahulrsquos personal prejudices lookingwithin for a better leader like CaptainAmarinder Singh who keeps per-forming despite Rahulrsquos apathy

If the Congress does not choose anew leader anti-BJP parties as awhole will be forced to thinkbeyond the Gandhi family for thesake of our democracy Finally evenfor opportunistic power-grabbersthese results prove that power iswithin an armrsquos reach for thosewho think dare and take on Modi atthe Centre and in the states

THE TRIBUNEestablished in 1881

Hit hard by hubrisSetbacks in Haryana Maharashtra a wake-up call for BJP

THE Assembly elections and the Lok Sabha polls are polesapart even if these are held within months of each otherEuphoric over its emphatic victory in the 2019 General Elec-

tion the BJP had conveniently forgotten this basic truism of elec-toral politics The results of the Haryana and Maharashtra Assem-bly polls have bitterly reminded the saffron party that extrapolatingthe bigger battlersquos outcome to that of the smaller one is a perilousstrategy The ruling partyrsquos tally of seats has dropped significantlyin both states The fall has been harder in Haryana where ChiefMinister Manohar Lal Khattar faces a Herculean task cobblingtogether a coalition government In Maharashtra ageing stalwartSharad Pawar has shown the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance that he is noalso-ran even in the twilight of his career

The BJP which had won all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the northernstate in May this year committed the blunder of writing off the belea-guered Congress and the fledgling Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) Withthe Grand Old Partyrsquos high command lying low it all boiled down tohow hard ex-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former Union MinisterSelja could push themselves And both did a fairly good job as theCongress comfortably emerged as the second-largest party mdash quite aturnaround after its forgettable show in the 2014 Assembly electionsAnother key factor was Khattarrsquos failure to dispel the perception thatthe state government was being remote-controlled from New Delhi

The plank of national security had done the trick for the BJP in thisyearrsquos Lok Sabha polls in the backdrop of the Pulwama terror attackand the Balakot airstrikes The party tried to run a similar tape in theAssembly elections where local issues are of paramount importanceIn the self-congratulatory mode after the abrogation of Article 370 theBJP came a cropper in addressing the concerns of farmers and othermajor vote banks The voters of Haryana and Maharashtra havepricked the partyrsquos bubble of invincibility Accepting the mandatewith humility and recalibrating its policies should be the way forwardThere is no room for complacency any more

Regularising illegal coloniesPopulism apart providing amenities a major challenge

BY approving the proposal to regularise unauthorised colonies inDelhi the Centre has sought to trump the ruling AAP ahead ofthe Assembly elections slated for February 2020 To address its

core base mdash the aam aadmi mdash Arvind Kejriwalrsquos government hadbeen doling out sops in the form of free electricity water and bus ridesfor women to name a few By announcing the decision to grant own-ership rights to those living in illegal colonies a move expected to ben-efit 40-50 lakh people mostly migrants or those belonging to the low-income groups the Centre has tried to steal AAPrsquos thunder WhileKejriwal had accused the Central government of wanting to demolishthese colonies Union Minister Hardeep Puri returned the barb blam-ing AAP for lsquodelayingrsquo the decision It is also significant that while theCentre initiated the NRC to identify lsquonon-citizensrsquo it has opted to bemore inclusive in Delhi electoral gains perhaps the prime mover

The 1797 unauthorised colonies are spread over all 70 constituen-cies with nearly two lakh voters in each constituency The governmenthas said ownership rights would be given to the residents at extreme-ly low rates and the colonies would be categorised depending on thetype of land they have come up on The process is to begin with thedelineation of boundaries for which there was a proposal to use satel-lite images or even drone mapping The Centre has accused the DelhiGovernment of not doing so and seeking time till 2021 The proposaldoes not apply to 69 affluent colonies a major stumbling block earlier

Regularisation may push up property prices but the challengelies in providing infrastructure in a city already stretched to its limits There is a lesson for both the AAP and BJP after the Maha-rashtra and Haryana elections You canrsquot rest on your laurels andtake voters for granted Constant striving and maintaining connectare the only ways not to yield ground

Gifting the big dilemma

Despite a stunning show the Opposition could not taste victory The prime reason the brand of politics

pursued by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi

NOUS INDICARAJESH RAMACHANDRAN

BJPrsquos cloak of invincibility is off but the Opposition is stuck without a leader

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 25 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED

IN the end regardless of the num-bers and the degree of competitionamong the stakeholders it is thespirit of the mandate emanating

from the Maharashtra and HaryanaAssembly polls that is likely to leave itsimprint not only on the states but alsoon the country Every electoral outcomecarries one or more messages for theplayers and the electorate The latestAssembly elections mdash the first to beheld after the BJPrsquos spectacular show-ing in the Lok Sabha polls in May 2019mdash came with a cautionary tale for theruling party valuable counsel for theCongress and hope and optimism forthe regional parties that have emergedas king-makers or pressure groups inboth Haryana and Maharashtra after along spell of a near-hegemonic holdover the polity by the BJP

Dismissed as lsquotiresomely one-sidedrsquo by political pundits and alsquoBJP-all-the-wayrsquo reading by mostpollsters with one honourableexception the results sprang a sur-prise Doubtless the BJP and its allythe Shiv Sena swung Maharashtrafor a second innings but the resulthad a significant subtext

First the BJPrsquos aspirations to sur-pass the Sena that had not been theamenable of partners in Chief Minis-ter Devendra Fadnavisrsquo first tenurewere dashed The BJP barelyreached the three-digit mark

although objectively speaking itcontested fewer seats this time thanit did in 2014 when it went solo andteamed up with the Sena after theelections The BJP and the Senariled each other on quite a few seatswhile on one the allies were pittedagainst one another although theBJP picked up this contentious seat

The debut of Aaditya Thackeray sonof Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was asource of unease for the BJP Aadityawho is on a serious image makeover fora party that was identified withparochialism minority bashing and awarped sense of what lsquoIndiannessrsquowas largely discarded the Senarsquos lega-cy issues such as disrupting Valen-tinersquos Day celebrations and shuttingdown pubs and spoke a modern lan-guage that facilitated a connect withthe new urban demography Aadityarsquoscheerleaders became his ventriloquistsmid-way through electioneering anddemanded that he should be made theCM in sync with the BJPrsquos old formulaof leaving Maharashtra to the Sena andkeeping the Centre Uddhav half-heartedly squashed the demand whilethe BJP insisted that Fadnavis wouldcontinue to helm the coalition

Fadnavis looks a tad vulnerablebecause the BJP has not secured thenumbers it had hoped for certainlynot achieving a tally that would placeit in a commanding position over theSena Worse for Fadnavis the BJPsuffered its losses in Vidarbha hisbackyard (he won from Nagpur southwest) whose farmers were seriouslyimpacted by successive droughts thatFadnavisrsquo flagship irrigation schemeswere unable to mitigate

Although the 36 seats in Mumbaiwere not affected by poor civic infra-structure the environmental damagecaused by the reclamation of forest

land at the Aarey Milk complex forMetro rail expansion and a massivecooperative bank scam that entailedthe loss of lifetime savings for middle-class pensioners the BJP had to forgoseats in the rural areas reinforcingthe trend of a rural-urban divide thatwas manifest in an earlier slew ofAssembly polls held in December2018 While the Congress beset withfactionalism bereft of credible stateleaders and the absence of the Gand-his for the most part from the cam-paign (Rahul Gandhi addressed occa-sional meetings) proved hopelesslyineffective in taking advantage of theanti-incumbency sentiment againstthe Maharashtra government its allythe Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)took as much advantage as its leaderSharad Pawar could in the twilight ofhis political career

The BJP hollowed out to the NCP

spiriting away its local weighty leaderswho controlled the cooperatives andother sources of institutional patron-age to the extent it could Pawar wasnot deterred He soldiered on invokinghis Maratha legacy Perhaps a definingimage of the election was of Pawarcampaigning in heavy rain at Satarawhere the BJP had taken away a stronglocal influencer Udayan Raje Bhosalea descendant of Chhatrapati ShivajiThe combination of sympathy and hispolitical inheritance worked becauseBhosale lost to the NCPrsquos new candi-date The NCP won more seats than theCongress to become the third-largestparty in the new Assembly Howeverthe more significant takeaway from theNCPrsquos showing was that regional lead-ers with a grassroots connect weremore capable of challenging the BJPwhen push came to shove

The BJPrsquos attempts to frame Pawar

and his political confidant PrafulPatel on graft charges and for allegedlinks with the Mumbai underworlddid not upset the NCPrsquos prospectsbecause the allegations were levelledon election eve and smacked of ruth-less cynicism

If the Congress cared to objectivelyanalyse the results of the Maharashtraand Haryana polls two features willnot escape its attention One theyunderscored the indisputable placethat the regional satraps hold irre-spective of how lsquopowerfulrsquo a highcommand might be The performanceput in by Pawar Bhupinder SinghHooda and young Dushyant Chautalaunderscored the importance of identi-fying and nurturing provincial lead-ers Indeed had the Gandhis givenHooda and his son Deepender Hoodaenough political and managerial lati-tude well in advance and not pittedfactions against one another throughrootless players Haryana might haveturned in a different narrative

Second the involvement of theGandhis in these elections was mini-mal Sonia Gandhi and PriyankaGandhi Vadra were absent whileRahul put in a token appearanceWhat did that signify That the Con-gress seriously needed to revisit itscommand structures

For the BJP the takeaways werethat overuse of aggressive national-ism had its limitations economicscannot be decoupled from politicsand the Assembly and parliamen-tary elections are qualitatively dif-ferent Doubtless it has morphed aLok Sabha election into a presiden-tial-style mandate for an individualA state election has its own dynam-ics one of them being that dal-rotiissues take precedence over anoffensive against Pakistan

THE recent one-on-one talksbetween Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi and Chinese Presi-dent Xi Jinping at Mamallapu-

ram on trade and investment had onetangible outcome There will be a mech-anism in place soon to study the prob-lems pertaining to trade and investmentbetween the two countries It will beimportant to sort out various tradeissues before India accepts the termsand conditions of the mega free tradetreaty the Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership (RCEP) compris-ing 16 countries mdash 10 ASEAN nationsplus China Japan India South KoreaAustralia and New Zealand It will be theworldrsquos biggest economic bloc coveringnearly half of the global economy a littleless than half of the worldrsquos populationand accounting for 39 per cent of theworldrsquos GDP Joining it perhaps willgive India an advantage to negotiate theterms and conditions from within Manymembers of the deal are now quiteimpatient about completing the treatyby November 2019

While it is true that most of the worldtrade is taking place within regionalarrangements and Free Trade Agree-ments (FTAs) India must not be at adisadvantage in opening up to coun-tries that are highly competitive itsmost important competitor is ChinaIndia has to weigh carefully the gainsto be had from signing the treatywhich may mean making itself vul-nerable to having its markets inundat-ed with Chinese goods

The main advantage will be that

India would be able to purchase itsraw material and intermediate goodsat concessional prices from othermembers under the mega FTA On itsown if India has to purchase thesegoods in the international marketsthese would cost much more Interme-diate goods are vital for making Indi-an exports competitive

The other advantage which manyeconomists are pointing out is thatIndia has to integrate itself into theglobal value chains which produceparts of goods in different countriesbut are assembled in a host countrylike China The edge lies in being ableto enter into a chain of global ordersby multinational corporations todeveloping countries to producegoods that are sold internationally

under well-known brand names Mostof the countries to our East are partic-ipating in the global value chains andreaping the benefits of an increase inincome and employment

The treaty may also lead to more FDIinflows from member countries nowthat the government has reduced thecorporate tax rates FDI can create jobsand rev up exports and reverse theeconomic slowdown

In the recent past however accordingto a research paper by Niti AayogIndiarsquos numerous FTAs with regionalpartners have not yielded positiveresults In most cases the FTAs havebeen followed by an increase in importsfrom the partner country India hastrade deficits with 13 member countriesof the RCEP The India-ASEAN FTA

has led to a bigger trade deficit thanbefore With South Korea Japan andThailand too there have been similarresults The surge in imports takesplace as soon as the FTA is concludedbut a similar thrust in exports is miss-ing The auto trigger mechanism ofhigher tariffs proposed by India tocheck the sudden surge in imports maybe ineffective due to lack of monitoringinfrastructure Slack export productionin India is due to lack of competitive-ness in todayrsquos world as shown by theWorld Economic Forumrsquos Global Com-petitiveness Index on which India hasslipped 10 places to the 68th rank

We are losing out to our neighbour-ing countries due to higher logisticscosts and lack of proper port facilitiesthat lead to higher turnaround timefor ships Indian companiesrsquo labourcosts are high because India is notresorting to sweatshop wages On thewhole in terms of quality and pricewe seem to be lagging behind ourneighbours and that is why foreignfirms leaving Chinese shores due tothe US-China trade war and anincrease in tariffs are not coming toIndia Also industrial growth wasonly 11 per cent in August

India has an advantage in servicesexports and has demanded freer move-ment of its service personnel withinthe RCEP and data localisation Thiswill give a boost to our services exportsdespite the language barrier Thisdemand has not been accepted by theRCEP so far All that the treaty wantsIndia to do is to reduce its tariff lines on

80 to 90 per cent of imported goodsReducing tariffs on almost all importswould be like an open invitation to all15 members to flood Indian marketswith their goods India is not able tocompete with China on many itemsand New Zealand in dairy it is this lackof competitiveness which has led togreater unpreparedness for India

First and foremost India has toimprove its industrial growth rapidlywhich may not be easy given our creakyinfrastructure shortage of skilledlabour and complex bureaucracy For allRCEP members except China thedomestic market is small and hencethey need to expand exports and are doing so aggressively China sub-sidises its exports and its financialarchitecture supports export productionmassively Being an authoritarian stateit has a smoother bureaucracy andthere is little scope for disruptions inproduction That is how China hasbecome the worldrsquos biggest exporter

China has to give more access toIndian exports especially of pharma-ceuticals and agricultural productsHopefully the Modi-Xi meeting willlead to addressing the reasons forIndiarsquos ballooning trade deficit of $53billion in 2018-19 There are too manynon-tariff barriers in place in Chinawhich have to be removed whichcould lead to more investment flowsbetween the two countries Otherwiseprogressively low tariff rates whichform the core of the RCEP treaty willseriously hurt our dairy steel MSMEand textile sectors

Dinesh ManhotraTribune News Service

Jammu October 24 All hopes of the BJP to geta cakewalk in the BlockDevelopment Council(BDC) elections weredashed this evening as theparty performed poorlyeven in its citadels

Despite boycott by theNational Conference (NC)Congress and PDP theBJP managed to get only53 seats out of the total148 in the Hindu-domi-nated Jammu region con-sidered as the strongholdof the party

The party candidates evenlost in the home blocks of allsenior leaders allegedly dueto infighting including thatof state president RavinderRaina where the opposition

ldquosupportedrdquo independentsemerged victorious

The BJP even failed to winany seat from the NagrotaAssembly segment which isthe home constituency ofthe sitting Lok Sabha mem-ber Jugal Kishore Sharma

Despite the absence of theopposition candidates theBJP failed to win evenrespectable seats in its bas-tions namely JammuSamba Kathua Udhampurand Reasi districts ExceptKishtwar district the BJPfailed to perform on expect-ed lines in other districts ofthe Jammu province

The Congress which isthe arch-rival of the BJP inthese districts had boy-cotted the elections Despitethis the latter failed to per-form as expected

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

IAM again confused Should I trycontributing to the economy ofthe country by buying gifts on

Diwali or stick to the long-taken vowto refrain from this useless andpainfully tiring activity

Buying a gift is a tedious exerciseMore than the money involved youhave to invest time in thinking if thegift would be appropriate for the per-son What would suit his taste or whathis household would love to display

Even in case of gifting on generaloccasions like birthdays and anniver-saries you have to be very careful Avase or a bedcover on a birthday orjust anything lying in the house onan anniversary are absolute disas-

ters It is particularly tricky when youwant to pass off something gifted toyou by someone which you yourselfdonrsquot like It is possible that you aregifting back the same suit length thatwas given by the same friend on yourprevious birthday Such passing offof a gift is a social risk

Though a gift is bestowed voluntar-ily it may have an underlying wishand expectation of return Thatwould be the case where gifting isbeing done as a quid pro quo A giftcan also be a thanks-giving act forthe deed done to you by the otherperson perhaps for a service ren-dered free of cost And Diwali is themost opportune time to express grat-itude in the form of a thoughtful gift

Again weird things may happen

You may be the sixth person giving thesame vase or same cake the other per-son has received since morning If youare in public life you may not evenknow the face hidden behind the hugebox that he carries to your room Thewives are also decked up since morn-ing with a tray of sweets and dry fruitsto be offered to the lsquogiftersrsquo knownpersonally or through business cardsstapled on the top of the gift box

Gifting also has its codes A signifi-cant fraction of gifts are unwanted Attimes the giver pays more for theitem than the recipient values A 2009study in the Journal of ExperimentalSocial Psychology found thatalthough givers tend to think a fanci-er expensive gift will be appreciatedmore receivers are happier with

cheaper more practical presentsNathan Novemsky a professor of

marketing at Yale University cau-tions not to overdo the gift wrapPretty wrapping raises expectationsfor a gift and increases the risk ofthe receiver being disappointed ifthe present doesnrsquot live up to theirexpectations A heavy box contain-ing a fluffy cake may result inimmediate disappointment

It also helps to ask what he or shewants because there comes a pointin everybodyrsquos life when you justdonrsquot want any more uselessthough well-intentioned junk

The best I would say is to stayhome away from the market Thisalso will save fuel and the environ-ment from toxic fumes

AFTER two high-profileAssembly elections it mayseem odd to analyse the per-formance of the loser instead

of finding reasons to praise the winnerWell the story of the Opposition snatch-ing defeat from the jaws of victory isinfinitely more interesting than a lack-lustre down-to-the-wire victory for theruling party Despite being two com-pletely dissimilar states Maharashtraand Haryana have thrown up resultsthat have a lot in common while theBJP dropped more than 10 per centseats thereby losing its sheen of invin-cibility in Maharashtra it has lost evenits majority in Haryana Most Haryanaministers have lost again proving thatthe Modi magic is not enough to tideover anti-incumbency In short theabrogation of Article 370 or Hindutvahyper-nationalism is no counter to thelack of governance administrativesloth and representational politicstermed loosely as caste combinations

Yet the Opposition could not winthese elections And the prime reasonis the brand of politics pursued by Con-gress leader Rahul Gandhi who gets itwrong election after election Herefused to anoint a strong satrap forMaharashtra and his antipathy forBhupinder Singh Hooda has cost hisparty the government in Haryana Thisis a strange situation where the pri-mary Opposition partyrsquos leader landsup to perform during the polls only tovanish later leaving the cadre and itsregional leaders in the lurch There issomething seriously wrong with RahulGandhirsquos leadership particularlywhen he is compared with the 78-year-old Sharad Pawar and 72-year-old Hoo-da Pawar single-handedly cam-paigned all across his strongholds inMaharashtra turning the tide in favour

of his party NCP which emerged as thesingle-largest Opposition party

The Congress has always taken thelarger share of seats in the Maharashtraalliance but this time around the NCPhas proven that though it contested alesser number of seats it is the biggerand stronger partner This despite theBJP trying its best to poach and getNCPrsquos second-rung leaders to defectWhat was missing in the campaign forthe Congress was a tall leader whocould sway the masses or concentrateall the anti-government forces factorsand emotions The results could havebeen different had the alliance workedas one under the leadership of PawarBut then Congress president SoniaGandhi could never trust Pawar or forthat matter any organic mass leaderwho could pose a threat to her son

Hooda was on the verge of splittingthe Congress in Haryana until thefirst week of September Rahul Gand-hirsquos chosen men in Haryana AshokTanwar and Randeep Surjewala hadbeen proven disastrous yet the highcommand did its best to push the par-tyrsquos tallest leader out Somehow Hoo-da managed to hang on and his per-formance is actually a bigger setbackto Rahul than to BJP Chief Minister

ML Khattar because Hooda managedto win 100 per cent more seats thanthe Congress did in 2014 Hoodarsquoscomeback could have been morespectacular had he been in the saddleafter Surjewalarsquos miserable defeat inthe bypolls earlier this year

That brings us to the biggest ques-tion what is essentially wrong withRahulrsquos politics He claims to usherin alternative politics of social trans-formation But this cannot beachieved by frequently flying out forvacations and flying in to abuse ModiTransformative politics happens onthe ground and Rahul as a politicianalways relied on others to even man-age Amethi his family inheritancefinally losing it after he threw out theman who worked hard all these yearsfor him A politician who claims torepresent new ideas in politics had torely on Keralarsquos moth-eaten minoritypolitics to re-enter Lok Sabha

So his great disdain for the old guardis just skin-deep or more precisely abundle of prejudices over personalchoices and has nothing to do with pol-itics of probity or justice Most in hiscoterie are just as feudal opportunisticand corrupt as those he dislikes Theonly difference is that his coterie com-

prises inefficient inheritors who can-not win elections or defeat the SanghParivar The worst aspect of Rahulrsquosleadership is his hypocrisy aboutintegrity inheritance and modernityThe Congress has not had new ideaspurges or leaps of faith under his lead-ership Yet neither Sonia Gandhi norPriyanka Vadra campaigned duringthese elections leaving the field openfor Rahul proving once again his pri-macy in the family-run concern

Now that it has been proven that theBJP is indeed vulnerable to anti-incum-bency be it over flood mismanagementin western Maharashtra or governancedeficit in Haryana the Oppositionought to look beyond the Gandhi fami-ly for leadership Pawar MamataBanerjee Jaganmohan Reddy andmany others have already establishedthe fallacy of the familyrsquos claim to theCongress legacy A grand merger of theCongress and its many splinters couldprove a game-changer particularly pro-viding the Opposition the leadershipthat the country sorely lacks now

It is wrong to compare Modi withVladimir Putin or Recep Erdoganbecause the BJP still needs the mobil-ising muscle of the RSS cadre to winelections In this context an effectiveOpposition could always upstage theincumbent with cunning and effi-ciency But that cannot be the Rahul-led Congress Yet the Congressmenthough the best opportunists in Indi-an politics are still not convinced thatthe family is nothing but the sumtotal of satraps without adding any-thing to the party Once this realisa-tion dawns on them the Congress-men ought to drop the burden ofRahulrsquos personal prejudices lookingwithin for a better leader like CaptainAmarinder Singh who keeps per-forming despite Rahulrsquos apathy

If the Congress does not choose anew leader anti-BJP parties as awhole will be forced to thinkbeyond the Gandhi family for thesake of our democracy Finally evenfor opportunistic power-grabbersthese results prove that power iswithin an armrsquos reach for thosewho think dare and take on Modi atthe Centre and in the states

Hit hard by hubrisSetbacks in Haryana Maharashtra a wake-up call for BJP

THE Assembly elections and the Lok Sabha polls are polesapart even if these are held within months of each otherEuphoric over its emphatic victory in the 2019 General Elec-

tion the BJP had conveniently forgotten this basic truism of elec-toral politics The results of the Haryana and Maharashtra Assem-bly polls have bitterly reminded the saffron party that extrapolatingthe bigger battlersquos outcome to that of the smaller one is a perilousstrategy The ruling partyrsquos tally of seats has dropped significantlyin both states The fall has been harder in Haryana where ChiefMinister Manohar Lal Khattar faces a Herculean task cobblingtogether a coalition government In Maharashtra ageing stalwartSharad Pawar has shown the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance that he is noalso-ran even in the twilight of his career

The BJP which had won all 10 Lok Sabha seats in the northernstate in May this year committed the blunder of writing off the belea-guered Congress and the fledgling Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) Withthe Grand Old Partyrsquos high command lying low it all boiled down tohow hard ex-CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former Union MinisterSelja could push themselves And both did a fairly good job as theCongress comfortably emerged as the second-largest party mdash quite aturnaround after its forgettable show in the 2014 Assembly electionsAnother key factor was Khattarrsquos failure to dispel the perception thatthe state government was being remote-controlled from New Delhi

The plank of national security had done the trick for the BJP in thisyearrsquos Lok Sabha polls in the backdrop of the Pulwama terror attackand the Balakot airstrikes The party tried to run a similar tape in theAssembly elections where local issues are of paramount importanceIn the self-congratulatory mode after the abrogation of Article 370 theBJP came a cropper in addressing the concerns of farmers and othermajor vote banks The voters of Haryana and Maharashtra havepricked the partyrsquos bubble of invincibility Accepting the mandatewith humility and recalibrating its policies should be the way forwardThere is no room for complacency any more

Regularising illegal coloniesPopulism apart providing amenities a major challenge

BY approving the proposal to regularise unauthorised colonies inDelhi the Centre has sought to trump the ruling AAP ahead ofthe Assembly elections slated for February 2020 To address its

core base mdash the aam aadmi mdash Arvind Kejriwalrsquos government hadbeen doling out sops in the form of free electricity water and bus ridesfor women to name a few By announcing the decision to grant own-ership rights to those living in illegal colonies a move expected to ben-efit 40-50 lakh people mostly migrants or those belonging to the low-income groups the Centre has tried to steal AAPrsquos thunder WhileKejriwal had accused the Central government of wanting to demolishthese colonies Union Minister Hardeep Puri returned the barb blam-ing AAP for lsquodelayingrsquo the decision It is also significant that while theCentre initiated the NRC to identify lsquonon-citizensrsquo it has opted to bemore inclusive in Delhi electoral gains perhaps the prime mover

The 1797 unauthorised colonies are spread over all 70 constituen-cies with nearly two lakh voters in each constituency The governmenthas said ownership rights would be given to the residents at extreme-ly low rates and the colonies would be categorised depending on thetype of land they have come up on The process is to begin with thedelineation of boundaries for which there was a proposal to use satel-lite images or even drone mapping The Centre has accused the DelhiGovernment of not doing so and seeking time till 2021 The proposaldoes not apply to 69 affluent colonies a major stumbling block earlier

Regularisation may push up property prices but the challengelies in providing infrastructure in a city already stretched to its limits There is a lesson for both the AAP and BJP after the Maha-rashtra and Haryana elections You canrsquot rest on your laurels andtake voters for granted Constant striving and maintaining connectare the only ways not to yield ground

Despite a stunning show the Opposition could not taste victory The prime reason the brand of politics

pursued by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi

NOUS INDICARAJESH RAMACHANDRAN

BJPrsquos cloak of invincibility is off but the Opposition is stuck without a leader

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 25 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED

IN the end regardless of the num-bers and the degree of competitionamong the stakeholders it is thespirit of the mandate emanating

from the Maharashtra and HaryanaAssembly polls that is likely to leave itsimprint not only on the states but alsoon the country Every electoral outcomecarries one or more messages for theplayers and the electorate The latestAssembly elections mdash the first to beheld after the BJPrsquos spectacular show-ing in the Lok Sabha polls in May 2019mdash came with a cautionary tale for theruling party valuable counsel for theCongress and hope and optimism forthe regional parties that have emergedas king-makers or pressure groups inboth Haryana and Maharashtra after along spell of a near-hegemonic holdover the polity by the BJP

Dismissed as lsquotiresomely one-sidedrsquo by political pundits and alsquoBJP-all-the-wayrsquo reading by mostpollsters with one honourableexception the results sprang a sur-prise Doubtless the BJP and its allythe Shiv Sena swung Maharashtrafor a second innings but the resulthad a significant subtext

First the BJPrsquos aspirations to sur-pass the Sena that had not been theamenable of partners in Chief Minis-ter Devendra Fadnavisrsquo first tenurewere dashed The BJP barelyreached the three-digit mark

although objectively speaking itcontested fewer seats this time thanit did in 2014 when it went solo andteamed up with the Sena after theelections The BJP and the Senariled each other on quite a few seatswhile on one the allies were pittedagainst one another although theBJP picked up this contentious seat

The debut of Aaditya Thackeray sonof Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was asource of unease for the BJP Aadityawho is on a serious image makeover fora party that was identified withparochialism minority bashing and awarped sense of what lsquoIndiannessrsquowas largely discarded the Senarsquos lega-cy issues such as disrupting Valen-tinersquos Day celebrations and shuttingdown pubs and spoke a modern lan-guage that facilitated a connect withthe new urban demography Aadityarsquoscheerleaders became his ventriloquistsmid-way through electioneering anddemanded that he should be made theCM in sync with the BJPrsquos old formulaof leaving Maharashtra to the Sena andkeeping the Centre Uddhav half-heartedly squashed the demand whilethe BJP insisted that Fadnavis wouldcontinue to helm the coalition

Fadnavis looks a tad vulnerablebecause the BJP has not secured thenumbers it had hoped for certainlynot achieving a tally that would placeit in a commanding position over theSena Worse for Fadnavis the BJPsuffered its losses in Vidarbha hisbackyard (he won from Nagpur southwest) whose farmers were seriouslyimpacted by successive droughts thatFadnavisrsquo flagship irrigation schemeswere unable to mitigate

Although the 36 seats in Mumbaiwere not affected by poor civic infra-structure the environmental damagecaused by the reclamation of forest

land at the Aarey Milk complex forMetro rail expansion and a massivecooperative bank scam that entailedthe loss of lifetime savings for middle-class pensioners the BJP had to forgoseats in the rural areas reinforcingthe trend of a rural-urban divide thatwas manifest in an earlier slew ofAssembly polls held in December2018 While the Congress beset withfactionalism bereft of credible stateleaders and the absence of the Gand-his for the most part from the cam-paign (Rahul Gandhi addressed occa-sional meetings) proved hopelesslyineffective in taking advantage of theanti-incumbency sentiment againstthe Maharashtra government its allythe Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)took as much advantage as its leaderSharad Pawar could in the twilight ofhis political career

The BJP hollowed out to the NCP

spiriting away its local weighty leaderswho controlled the cooperatives andother sources of institutional patron-age to the extent it could Pawar wasnot deterred He soldiered on invokinghis Maratha legacy Perhaps a definingimage of the election was of Pawarcampaigning in heavy rain at Satarawhere the BJP had taken away a stronglocal influencer Udayan Raje Bhosalea descendant of Chhatrapati ShivajiThe combination of sympathy and hispolitical inheritance worked becauseBhosale lost to the NCPrsquos new candi-date The NCP won more seats than theCongress to become the third-largestparty in the new Assembly Howeverthe more significant takeaway from theNCPrsquos showing was that regional lead-ers with a grassroots connect weremore capable of challenging the BJPwhen push came to shove

The BJPrsquos attempts to frame Pawar

and his political confidant PrafulPatel on graft charges and for allegedlinks with the Mumbai underworlddid not upset the NCPrsquos prospectsbecause the allegations were levelledon election eve and smacked of ruth-less cynicism

If the Congress cared to objectivelyanalyse the results of the Maharashtraand Haryana polls two features willnot escape its attention One theyunderscored the indisputable placethat the regional satraps hold irre-spective of how lsquopowerfulrsquo a highcommand might be The performanceput in by Pawar Bhupinder SinghHooda and young Dushyant Chautalaunderscored the importance of identi-fying and nurturing provincial lead-ers Indeed had the Gandhis givenHooda and his son Deepender Hoodaenough political and managerial lati-tude well in advance and not pittedfactions against one another throughrootless players Haryana might haveturned in a different narrative

Second the involvement of theGandhis in these elections was mini-mal Sonia Gandhi and PriyankaGandhi Vadra were absent whileRahul put in a token appearanceWhat did that signify That the Con-gress seriously needed to revisit itscommand structures

For the BJP the takeaways werethat overuse of aggressive national-ism had its limitations economicscannot be decoupled from politicsand the Assembly and parliamen-tary elections are qualitatively dif-ferent Doubtless it has morphed aLok Sabha election into a presiden-tial-style mandate for an individualA state election has its own dynam-ics one of them being that dal-rotiissues take precedence over anoffensive against Pakistan

THE recent one-on-one talksbetween Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi and Chinese Presi-dent Xi Jinping at Mamallapu-

ram on trade and investment had onetangible outcome There will be a mech-anism in place soon to study the prob-lems pertaining to trade and investmentbetween the two countries It will beimportant to sort out various tradeissues before India accepts the termsand conditions of the mega free tradetreaty the Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership (RCEP) compris-ing 16 countries mdash 10 ASEAN nationsplus China Japan India South KoreaAustralia and New Zealand It will be theworldrsquos biggest economic bloc coveringnearly half of the global economy a littleless than half of the worldrsquos populationand accounting for 39 per cent of theworldrsquos GDP Joining it perhaps willgive India an advantage to negotiate theterms and conditions from within Manymembers of the deal are now quiteimpatient about completing the treatyby November 2019

While it is true that most of the worldtrade is taking place within regionalarrangements and Free Trade Agree-ments (FTAs) India must not be at adisadvantage in opening up to coun-tries that are highly competitive itsmost important competitor is ChinaIndia has to weigh carefully the gainsto be had from signing the treatywhich may mean making itself vul-nerable to having its markets inundat-ed with Chinese goods

The main advantage will be that

India would be able to purchase itsraw material and intermediate goodsat concessional prices from othermembers under the mega FTA On itsown if India has to purchase thesegoods in the international marketsthese would cost much more Interme-diate goods are vital for making Indi-an exports competitive

The other advantage which manyeconomists are pointing out is thatIndia has to integrate itself into theglobal value chains which produceparts of goods in different countriesbut are assembled in a host countrylike China The edge lies in being ableto enter into a chain of global ordersby multinational corporations todeveloping countries to producegoods that are sold internationally

under well-known brand names Mostof the countries to our East are partic-ipating in the global value chains andreaping the benefits of an increase inincome and employment

The treaty may also lead to more FDIinflows from member countries nowthat the government has reduced thecorporate tax rates FDI can create jobsand rev up exports and reverse theeconomic slowdown

In the recent past however accordingto a research paper by Niti AayogIndiarsquos numerous FTAs with regionalpartners have not yielded positiveresults In most cases the FTAs havebeen followed by an increase in importsfrom the partner country India hastrade deficits with 13 member countriesof the RCEP The India-ASEAN FTA

has led to a bigger trade deficit thanbefore With South Korea Japan andThailand too there have been similarresults The surge in imports takesplace as soon as the FTA is concludedbut a similar thrust in exports is miss-ing The auto trigger mechanism ofhigher tariffs proposed by India tocheck the sudden surge in imports maybe ineffective due to lack of monitoringinfrastructure Slack export productionin India is due to lack of competitive-ness in todayrsquos world as shown by theWorld Economic Forumrsquos Global Com-petitiveness Index on which India hasslipped 10 places to the 68th rank

We are losing out to our neighbour-ing countries due to higher logisticscosts and lack of proper port facilitiesthat lead to higher turnaround timefor ships Indian companiesrsquo labourcosts are high because India is notresorting to sweatshop wages On thewhole in terms of quality and pricewe seem to be lagging behind ourneighbours and that is why foreignfirms leaving Chinese shores due tothe US-China trade war and anincrease in tariffs are not coming toIndia Also industrial growth wasonly 11 per cent in August

India has an advantage in servicesexports and has demanded freer move-ment of its service personnel withinthe RCEP and data localisation Thiswill give a boost to our services exportsdespite the language barrier Thisdemand has not been accepted by theRCEP so far All that the treaty wantsIndia to do is to reduce its tariff lines on

80 to 90 per cent of imported goodsReducing tariffs on almost all importswould be like an open invitation to all15 members to flood Indian marketswith their goods India is not able tocompete with China on many itemsand New Zealand in dairy it is this lackof competitiveness which has led togreater unpreparedness for India

First and foremost India has toimprove its industrial growth rapidlywhich may not be easy given our creakyinfrastructure shortage of skilledlabour and complex bureaucracy For allRCEP members except China thedomestic market is small and hencethey need to expand exports and are doing so aggressively China sub-sidises its exports and its financialarchitecture supports export productionmassively Being an authoritarian stateit has a smoother bureaucracy andthere is little scope for disruptions inproduction That is how China hasbecome the worldrsquos biggest exporter

China has to give more access toIndian exports especially of pharma-ceuticals and agricultural productsHopefully the Modi-Xi meeting willlead to addressing the reasons forIndiarsquos ballooning trade deficit of $53billion in 2018-19 There are too manynon-tariff barriers in place in Chinawhich have to be removed whichcould lead to more investment flowsbetween the two countries Otherwiseprogressively low tariff rates whichform the core of the RCEP treaty willseriously hurt our dairy steel MSMEand textile sectors

India must not be at adisadvantage in opening upto countries that are highlycompetitive The countryhas to weigh carefully the

gains to be had fromsigning the treaty under the

Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership

(RCEP) The mainadvantage will be that Indiawould be able to purchase

its raw material andintermediate goods at

concessional prices fromother members

India should tread warily on free trade treaty

FORMIDABLE China subsidises its exports and its financial architecture supports export production massively China is Indiarsquos most important competitor

Despite boycott by theNational Conference (NC)Congress and PDP theBJP managed to get only53 seats out of the total148 in the Hindu-domi-nated Jammu region con-sidered as the strongholdof the party

The party candidates evenlost in the home blocks of allsenior leaders allegedly dueto infighting including thatof state president RavinderRaina where the opposition

ldquosupportedrdquo independentsemerged victorious

The BJP even failed to winany seat from the NagrotaAssembly segment which isthe home constituency ofthe sitting Lok Sabha mem-ber Jugal Kishore Sharma

Despite the absence of theopposition candidates theBJP failed to win evenrespectable seats in its bas-tions namely JammuSamba Kathua Udhampurand Reasi districts ExceptKishtwar district the BJPfailed to perform on expect-ed lines in other districts ofthe Jammu province

The Congress which isthe arch-rival of the BJP inthese districts had boy-cotted the elections Despitethis the latter failed to per-form as expected

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

ldquoWe are of the consideredopinion that interest and

New Delhi October 24India has jumped 14 places totake the 63rd position on theWorld Bankrsquos ease of doingbusiness ranking released onThursday figuring amongthe top 10 performers on thelist for the third time in a rowmainly due to the successfulimplementation of the Insol-vency and Bankruptcy CodeFinance Minister NirmalaSitharaman today saidefforts will be made to fur-ther simplify the GST whichwould further improveIndiarsquos ranking

Sitharaman also said she ismaking efforts to resolve dif-ferences between the Corpo-rate Affairs Ministry andEnforcement Directorateover the issue of attachmentof property of Bhushan Poweramp Steel Ltd (BPSL) The EDwants to attach the propertyof BPSL under the Preven-tion of Money LaunderingAct (PMLA) while the Min-istry for Corporate Affairs is

opposed to this standJust back from Washing-

ton after meetings withWorld Bank and IMF offi-cials Sitharaman pointedout that India was ranked142nd in 2014 and was at the100thh spot last year Indiais now at the 77th positiondue to reforms in insolven-cy taxation and other areas

However there are appre-hensions that countries tendto game the system becauseof the way in which the rank-ings are compiled Econo-mists have said the legal sys-tems of some countries maylend themselves to higherrates of economic develop-ment but the necessarycausal link between the two

cannot be easily establishedAfter a controversy last year

over higher rankings to Indiaand Chile then World BankChief Economist Paul Romerhad said he did not have ldquocon-fidence in the integrityrdquo of therankings and suggested thatthe data may have been tiltedtowards some countries Buthe later took back his com-ments and resigned

However the rankingsbring some relief to the coun-tryrsquos financial managers whohave to contend with the dis-appointment of RBI WorldBank and IMF slashing eco-nomic growth forecasts

ldquoThis is the third year in arow that India makes to top10 in Doing Business whichis a success which very fewcountries have done over the20 years of the project With-out exception the othercountries that have done thisare very small population-wise and homogeneousrdquoSimeon Djankov WorldBankrsquos Director of Develop-ment Economics said

THE TRIBUNECHANDIGARH | FRIDAY | 25 OCTOBER 2019 09OPED

IN the end regardless of the num-bers and the degree of competitionamong the stakeholders it is thespirit of the mandate emanating

from the Maharashtra and HaryanaAssembly polls that is likely to leave itsimprint not only on the states but alsoon the country Every electoral outcomecarries one or more messages for theplayers and the electorate The latestAssembly elections mdash the first to beheld after the BJPrsquos spectacular show-ing in the Lok Sabha polls in May 2019mdash came with a cautionary tale for theruling party valuable counsel for theCongress and hope and optimism forthe regional parties that have emergedas king-makers or pressure groups inboth Haryana and Maharashtra after along spell of a near-hegemonic holdover the polity by the BJP

Dismissed as lsquotiresomely one-sidedrsquo by political pundits and alsquoBJP-all-the-wayrsquo reading by mostpollsters with one honourableexception the results sprang a sur-prise Doubtless the BJP and its allythe Shiv Sena swung Maharashtrafor a second innings but the resulthad a significant subtext

First the BJPrsquos aspirations to sur-pass the Sena that had not been theamenable of partners in Chief Minis-ter Devendra Fadnavisrsquo first tenurewere dashed The BJP barelyreached the three-digit mark

although objectively speaking itcontested fewer seats this time thanit did in 2014 when it went solo andteamed up with the Sena after theelections The BJP and the Senariled each other on quite a few seatswhile on one the allies were pittedagainst one another although theBJP picked up this contentious seat

The debut of Aaditya Thackeray sonof Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was asource of unease for the BJP Aadityawho is on a serious image makeover fora party that was identified withparochialism minority bashing and awarped sense of what lsquoIndiannessrsquowas largely discarded the Senarsquos lega-cy issues such as disrupting Valen-tinersquos Day celebrations and shuttingdown pubs and spoke a modern lan-guage that facilitated a connect withthe new urban demography Aadityarsquoscheerleaders became his ventriloquistsmid-way through electioneering anddemanded that he should be made theCM in sync with the BJPrsquos old formulaof leaving Maharashtra to the Sena andkeeping the Centre Uddhav half-heartedly squashed the demand whilethe BJP insisted that Fadnavis wouldcontinue to helm the coalition

Fadnavis looks a tad vulnerablebecause the BJP has not secured thenumbers it had hoped for certainlynot achieving a tally that would placeit in a commanding position over theSena Worse for Fadnavis the BJPsuffered its losses in Vidarbha hisbackyard (he won from Nagpur southwest) whose farmers were seriouslyimpacted by successive droughts thatFadnavisrsquo flagship irrigation schemeswere unable to mitigate

Although the 36 seats in Mumbaiwere not affected by poor civic infra-structure the environmental damagecaused by the reclamation of forest

land at the Aarey Milk complex forMetro rail expansion and a massivecooperative bank scam that entailedthe loss of lifetime savings for middle-class pensioners the BJP had to forgoseats in the rural areas reinforcingthe trend of a rural-urban divide thatwas manifest in an earlier slew ofAssembly polls held in December2018 While the Congress beset withfactionalism bereft of credible stateleaders and the absence of the Gand-his for the most part from the cam-paign (Rahul Gandhi addressed occa-sional meetings) proved hopelesslyineffective in taking advantage of theanti-incumbency sentiment againstthe Maharashtra government its allythe Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)took as much advantage as its leaderSharad Pawar could in the twilight ofhis political career

The BJP hollowed out to the NCP

spiriting away its local weighty leaderswho controlled the cooperatives andother sources of institutional patron-age to the extent it could Pawar wasnot deterred He soldiered on invokinghis Maratha legacy Perhaps a definingimage of the election was of Pawarcampaigning in heavy rain at Satarawhere the BJP had taken away a stronglocal influencer Udayan Raje Bhosalea descendant of Chhatrapati ShivajiThe combination of sympathy and hispolitical inheritance worked becauseBhosale lost to the NCPrsquos new candi-date The NCP won more seats than theCongress to become the third-largestparty in the new Assembly Howeverthe more significant takeaway from theNCPrsquos showing was that regional lead-ers with a grassroots connect weremore capable of challenging the BJPwhen push came to shove

The BJPrsquos attempts to frame Pawar

and his political confidant PrafulPatel on graft charges and for allegedlinks with the Mumbai underworlddid not upset the NCPrsquos prospectsbecause the allegations were levelledon election eve and smacked of ruth-less cynicism

If the Congress cared to objectivelyanalyse the results of the Maharashtraand Haryana polls two features willnot escape its attention One theyunderscored the indisputable placethat the regional satraps hold irre-spective of how lsquopowerfulrsquo a highcommand might be The performanceput in by Pawar Bhupinder SinghHooda and young Dushyant Chautalaunderscored the importance of identi-fying and nurturing provincial lead-ers Indeed had the Gandhis givenHooda and his son Deepender Hoodaenough political and managerial lati-tude well in advance and not pittedfactions against one another throughrootless players Haryana might haveturned in a different narrative

Second the involvement of theGandhis in these elections was mini-mal Sonia Gandhi and PriyankaGandhi Vadra were absent whileRahul put in a token appearanceWhat did that signify That the Con-gress seriously needed to revisit itscommand structures

For the BJP the takeaways werethat overuse of aggressive national-ism had its limitations economicscannot be decoupled from politicsand the Assembly and parliamen-tary elections are qualitatively dif-ferent Doubtless it has morphed aLok Sabha election into a presiden-tial-style mandate for an individualA state election has its own dynam-ics one of them being that dal-rotiissues take precedence over anoffensive against Pakistan

THE recent one-on-one talksbetween Prime Minister Naren-dra Modi and Chinese Presi-dent Xi Jinping at Mamallapu-

ram on trade and investment had onetangible outcome There will be a mech-anism in place soon to study the prob-lems pertaining to trade and investmentbetween the two countries It will beimportant to sort out various tradeissues before India accepts the termsand conditions of the mega free tradetreaty the Regional ComprehensiveEconomic Partnership (RCEP) compris-ing 16 countries mdash 10 ASEAN nationsplus China Japan India South KoreaAustralia and New Zealand It will be theworldrsquos biggest economic bloc coveringnearly half of the global economy a littleless than half of the worldrsquos populationand accounting for 39 per cent of theworldrsquos GDP Joining it perhaps willgive India an advantage to negotiate theterms and conditions from within Manymembers of the deal are now quiteimpatient about completing the treatyby November 2019

While it is true that most of the worldtrade is taking place within regionalarrangements and Free Trade Agree-ments (FTAs) India must not be at adisadvantage in opening up to coun-tries that are highly competitive itsmost important competitor is ChinaIndia has to weigh carefully the gainsto be had from signing the treatywhich may mean making itself vul-nerable to having its markets inundat-ed with Chinese goods

The main advantage will be that

India would be able to purchase itsraw material and intermediate goodsat concessional prices from othermembers under the mega FTA On itsown if India has to purchase thesegoods in the international marketsthese would cost much more Interme-diate goods are vital for making Indi-an exports competitive

The other advantage which manyeconomists are pointing out is thatIndia has to integrate itself into theglobal value chains which produceparts of goods in different countriesbut are assembled in a host countrylike China The edge lies in being ableto enter into a chain of global ordersby multinational corporations todeveloping countries to producegoods that are sold internationally

under well-known brand names Mostof the countries to our East are partic-ipating in the global value chains andreaping the benefits of an increase inincome and employment

The treaty may also lead to more FDIinflows from member countries nowthat the government has reduced thecorporate tax rates FDI can create jobsand rev up exports and reverse theeconomic slowdown

In the recent past however accordingto a research paper by Niti AayogIndiarsquos numerous FTAs with regionalpartners have not yielded positiveresults In most cases the FTAs havebeen followed by an increase in importsfrom the partner country India hastrade deficits with 13 member countriesof the RCEP The India-ASEAN FTA

has led to a bigger trade deficit thanbefore With South Korea Japan andThailand too there have been similarresults The surge in imports takesplace as soon as the FTA is concludedbut a similar thrust in exports is miss-ing The auto trigger mechanism ofhigher tariffs proposed by India tocheck the sudden surge in imports maybe ineffective due to lack of monitoringinfrastructure Slack export productionin India is due to lack of competitive-ness in todayrsquos world as shown by theWorld Economic Forumrsquos Global Com-petitiveness Index on which India hasslipped 10 places to the 68th rank

We are losing out to our neighbour-ing countries due to higher logisticscosts and lack of proper port facilitiesthat lead to higher turnaround timefor ships Indian companiesrsquo labourcosts are high because India is notresorting to sweatshop wages On thewhole in terms of quality and pricewe seem to be lagging behind ourneighbours and that is why foreignfirms leaving Chinese shores due tothe US-China trade war and anincrease in tariffs are not coming toIndia Also industrial growth wasonly 11 per cent in August

India has an advantage in servicesexports and has demanded freer move-ment of its service personnel withinthe RCEP and data localisation Thiswill give a boost to our services exportsdespite the language barrier Thisdemand has not been accepted by theRCEP so far All that the treaty wantsIndia to do is to reduce its tariff lines on

80 to 90 per cent of imported goodsReducing tariffs on almost all importswould be like an open invitation to all15 members to flood Indian marketswith their goods India is not able tocompete with China on many itemsand New Zealand in dairy it is this lackof competitiveness which has led togreater unpreparedness for India

First and foremost India has toimprove its industrial growth rapidlywhich may not be easy given our creakyinfrastructure shortage of skilledlabour and complex bureaucracy For allRCEP members except China thedomestic market is small and hencethey need to expand exports and are doing so aggressively China sub-sidises its exports and its financialarchitecture supports export productionmassively Being an authoritarian stateit has a smoother bureaucracy andthere is little scope for disruptions inproduction That is how China hasbecome the worldrsquos biggest exporter

China has to give more access toIndian exports especially of pharma-ceuticals and agricultural productsHopefully the Modi-Xi meeting willlead to addressing the reasons forIndiarsquos ballooning trade deficit of $53billion in 2018-19 There are too manynon-tariff barriers in place in Chinawhich have to be removed whichcould lead to more investment flowsbetween the two countries Otherwiseprogressively low tariff rates whichform the core of the RCEP treaty willseriously hurt our dairy steel MSMEand textile sectors

Dinesh ManhotraTribune News Service

Jammu October 24 All hopes of the BJP to geta cakewalk in the BlockDevelopment Council(BDC) elections weredashed this evening as theparty performed poorlyeven in its citadels

Despite boycott by theNational Conference (NC)Congress and PDP theBJP managed to get only53 seats out of the total148 in the Hindu-domi-nated Jammu region con-sidered as the strongholdof the party

The party candidates evenlost in the home blocks of allsenior leaders allegedly dueto infighting including thatof state president RavinderRaina where the opposition

ldquosupportedrdquo independentsemerged victorious

The BJP even failed to winany seat from the NagrotaAssembly segment which isthe home constituency ofthe sitting Lok Sabha mem-ber Jugal Kishore Sharma

Despite the absence of theopposition candidates theBJP failed to win evenrespectable seats in its bas-tions namely JammuSamba Kathua Udhampurand Reasi districts ExceptKishtwar district the BJPfailed to perform on expect-ed lines in other districts ofthe Jammu province

The Congress which isthe arch-rival of the BJP inthese districts had boy-cotted the elections Despitethis the latter failed to per-form as expected

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

As per the New TelecomPolicy telecom serviceproviders are required toshare a percentage of theirAGR with the governmentas annual licence fee Butthe TDSAT had held thatAGR will include only rev-enue arising from licenceactivities and that capitalassets and receipt from thesale of scrap cannot beincluded in gross revenuefor computation of licencefee The TDSAT had

exempted a large number ofstreams from the definitionof AGR like capitalreceipts bad debt distribu-tion margins to dealersforex fluctuations sale ofscrap and waiver of late fee

Now the top court hasreversed the TDSATrsquos find-ings leading to huge finan-cial burden on telecomservice providers

New Delhi October 24India has jumped 14 places totake the 63rd position on theWorld Bankrsquos ease of doingbusiness ranking released onThursday figuring amongthe top 10 performers on thelist for the third time in a rowmainly due to the successfulimplementation of the Insol-vency and Bankruptcy CodeFinance Minister NirmalaSitharaman today saidefforts will be made to fur-ther simplify the GST whichwould further improveIndiarsquos ranking

Sitharaman also said she ismaking efforts to resolve dif-ferences between the Corpo-rate Affairs Ministry andEnforcement Directorateover the issue of attachmentof property of Bhushan Poweramp Steel Ltd (BPSL) The EDwants to attach the propertyof BPSL under the Preven-tion of Money LaunderingAct (PMLA) while the Min-istry for Corporate Affairs is

ton after meetings withWorld Bank and IMF offi-cials Sitharaman pointedout that India was ranked142nd in 2014 and was at the100thh spot last year Indiais now at the 77th positiondue to reforms in insolven-cy taxation and other areas

However there are appre-hensions that countries tendto game the system becauseof the way in which the rank-ings are compiled Econo-mists have said the legal sys-tems of some countries maylend themselves to higherrates of economic develop-ment but the necessarycausal link between the two

cannot be easily establishedAfter a controversy last year

over higher rankings to Indiaand Chile then World BankChief Economist Paul Romerhad said he did not have ldquocon-fidence in the integrityrdquo of therankings and suggested thatthe data may have been tiltedtowards some countries Buthe later took back his com-ments and resigned

Despite boycott by theNational Conference (NC)Congress and PDP theBJP managed to get only53 seats out of the total148 in the Hindu-domi-nated Jammu region con-sidered as the strongholdof the party

The party candidates evenlost in the home blocks of allsenior leaders allegedly dueto infighting including thatof state president RavinderRaina where the opposition

ldquosupportedrdquo independentsemerged victorious

The BJP even failed to winany seat from the NagrotaAssembly segment which isthe home constituency ofthe sitting Lok Sabha mem-ber Jugal Kishore Sharma

Despite the absence of theopposition candidates theBJP failed to win evenrespectable seats in its bas-tions namely JammuSamba Kathua Udhampurand Reasi districts ExceptKishtwar district the BJPfailed to perform on expect-ed lines in other districts ofthe Jammu province

The Congress which isthe arch-rival of the BJP inthese districts had boy-cotted the elections Despitethis the latter failed to per-form as expected

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

New Delhi October 24In a major setback to tele-com service providers theSupreme Court today ruledthat the Centre was entitledto recover adjusted grossrevenue (AGR) of over Rs92000 crore from them

Allowing the Centrersquosappeal against a TelecomDisputes Settlement andAppellate Tribunalrsquos(TDSAT) order three-judgeBench headed by JusticeArun Mishra upheld thedefinition of AGR formulat-ed by the Department ofTelecom (DoT)

As per the New TelecomPolicy telecom serviceproviders are required toshare a percentage of theirAGR with the governmentas annual licence fee Butthe TDSAT had held thatAGR will include only rev-enue arising from licenceactivities and that capitalassets and receipt from thesale of scrap cannot beincluded in gross revenuefor computation of licencefee The TDSAT had

exempted a large number ofstreams from the definitionof AGR like capitalreceipts bad debt distribu-tion margins to dealersforex fluctuations sale ofscrap and waiver of late fee

Now the top court hasreversed the TDSATrsquos find-ings leading to huge finan-cial burden on telecomservice providers

ldquoWe are of the consideredopinion that interest and

penalty have rightly beenlevied Once an amount ofshortfall has not been paid ithas to carry 50 of the penal-ty on defaulted amount asagreed Thus we find nosubstance in the submissionthat interest penalty andinterest on penalty cannot berealised It is as per theagreementrdquo the top courtsaid adding there was noground to reduce it

New Delhi October 24India has jumped 14 places totake the 63rd position on theWorld Bankrsquos ease of doingbusiness ranking released onThursday figuring amongthe top 10 performers on thelist for the third time in a rowmainly due to the successfulimplementation of the Insol-vency and Bankruptcy CodeFinance Minister NirmalaSitharaman today saidefforts will be made to fur-ther simplify the GST whichwould further improveIndiarsquos ranking

Sitharaman also said she ismaking efforts to resolve dif-ferences between the Corpo-rate Affairs Ministry andEnforcement Directorateover the issue of attachmentof property of Bhushan Poweramp Steel Ltd (BPSL) The EDwants to attach the propertyof BPSL under the Preven-tion of Money LaunderingAct (PMLA) while the Min-istry for Corporate Affairs is

opposed to this standJust back from Washing-

ton after meetings withWorld Bank and IMF offi-cials Sitharaman pointedout that India was ranked142nd in 2014 and was at the100thh spot last year Indiais now at the 77th positiondue to reforms in insolven-cy taxation and other areas

However there are appre-hensions that countries tendto game the system becauseof the way in which the rank-ings are compiled Econo-mists have said the legal sys-tems of some countries maylend themselves to higherrates of economic develop-ment but the necessarycausal link between the two

cannot be easily establishedAfter a controversy last year

over higher rankings to Indiaand Chile then World BankChief Economist Paul Romerhad said he did not have ldquocon-fidence in the integrityrdquo of therankings and suggested thatthe data may have been tiltedtowards some countries Buthe later took back his com-ments and resigned

However the rankingsbring some relief to the coun-tryrsquos financial managers whohave to contend with the dis-appointment of RBI WorldBank and IMF slashing eco-nomic growth forecasts

ldquoThis is the third year in arow that India makes to top10 in Doing Business whichis a success which very fewcountries have done over the20 years of the project With-out exception the othercountries that have done thisare very small population-wise and homogeneousrdquoSimeon Djankov WorldBankrsquos Director of Develop-ment Economics said

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

New Delhi October 24In a major setback to tele-com service providers theSupreme Court today ruledthat the Centre was entitledto recover adjusted grossrevenue (AGR) of over Rs92000 crore from them

Allowing the Centrersquosappeal against a TelecomDisputes Settlement andAppellate Tribunalrsquos(TDSAT) order three-judgeBench headed by JusticeArun Mishra upheld thedefinition of AGR formulat-ed by the Department ofTelecom (DoT)

As per the New TelecomPolicy telecom serviceproviders are required toshare a percentage of theirAGR with the governmentas annual licence fee Butthe TDSAT had held thatAGR will include only rev-enue arising from licenceactivities and that capitalassets and receipt from thesale of scrap cannot beincluded in gross revenuefor computation of licencefee The TDSAT had

exempted a large number ofstreams from the definitionof AGR like capitalreceipts bad debt distribu-tion margins to dealersforex fluctuations sale ofscrap and waiver of late fee

Now the top court hasreversed the TDSATrsquos find-ings leading to huge finan-cial burden on telecomservice providers

ldquoWe are of the consideredopinion that interest and

penalty have rightly beenlevied Once an amount ofshortfall has not been paid ithas to carry 50 of the penal-ty on defaulted amount asagreed Thus we find nosubstance in the submissionthat interest penalty andinterest on penalty cannot berealised It is as per theagreementrdquo the top courtsaid adding there was noground to reduce it

Airtel owed Rs 2168213

crore as licence fee to thegovernment while Voda-fone and Reliance Commu-nications owed Rs 1982371crore and Rs 1645647crore respectively the DoThad said adding the state-owned BSNL owed Rs209872 crore and MTNLowed Rs 253748 crore Thetotal amount to be recov-ered from telecom compa-nies was to the tune of Rs9264161 crore it had said

New Delhi October 24India has jumped 14 places totake the 63rd position on theWorld Bankrsquos ease of doingbusiness ranking released onThursday figuring amongthe top 10 performers on thelist for the third time in a rowmainly due to the successfulimplementation of the Insol-vency and Bankruptcy CodeFinance Minister NirmalaSitharaman today saidefforts will be made to fur-ther simplify the GST whichwould further improveIndiarsquos ranking

Sitharaman also said she ismaking efforts to resolve dif-ferences between the Corpo-rate Affairs Ministry andEnforcement Directorateover the issue of attachmentof property of Bhushan Poweramp Steel Ltd (BPSL) The EDwants to attach the propertyof BPSL under the Preven-tion of Money LaunderingAct (PMLA) while the Min-istry for Corporate Affairs is

opposed to this standJust back from Washing-

ton after meetings withWorld Bank and IMF offi-cials Sitharaman pointedout that India was ranked142nd in 2014 and was at the100thh spot last year Indiais now at the 77th positiondue to reforms in insolven-cy taxation and other areas

However there are appre-hensions that countries tendto game the system becauseof the way in which the rank-ings are compiled Econo-mists have said the legal sys-tems of some countries maylend themselves to higherrates of economic develop-ment but the necessarycausal link between the two

cannot be easily establishedAfter a controversy last year

over higher rankings to Indiaand Chile then World BankChief Economist Paul Romerhad said he did not have ldquocon-fidence in the integrityrdquo of therankings and suggested thatthe data may have been tiltedtowards some countries Buthe later took back his com-ments and resigned

However the rankingsbring some relief to the coun-tryrsquos financial managers whohave to contend with the dis-appointment of RBI WorldBank and IMF slashing eco-nomic growth forecasts

ldquoThis is the third year in arow that India makes to top10 in Doing Business whichis a success which very fewcountries have done over the20 years of the project With-out exception the othercountries that have done thisare very small population-wise and homogeneousrdquoSimeon Djankov WorldBankrsquos Director of Develop-ment Economics said

New Delhi October 24 A Delhi court today sent for-mer finance minister P Chi-dambaram to custodialinterrogation by theEnforcement Directorate tillOctober 30 in the INX Mediamoney laundering case

Special judge Ajay KumarKuhar allowed the ED toquiz Chidambaram in cus-tody while also directing itthat he be taken to AIIMSimmediately in case of anymedical complication

The court said the otherconditions of his custodywill be the same includingproviding him home-cooked food

The probe agency hadsought seven-day custodialinterrogation of the 74-year-old senior Congress leaderSenior advocate KapilSibal appearing for Chi-dambaram said the formerminister is very ill andsought two-day interim bailfor treatment in Hyderabad

Solicitor General TusharMehta appearing for the EDopposed the plea and said itwould be a serious miscar-riage of justice if the agencyrsquosinvestigation is curtailed

Mehta told the court thatdocumentary evidence hascome to light which showsChidambaramrsquos connec-tion to money laundering

ldquoThree kind of evidence

has come forwardmdashe-mailsexchanged between familymembers and co-conspira-tors details of benami prop-erties beneficially owned bythe family members and co-conspirators and statementsof witnesses and others whoowned or were associatedwith the benami propertiesThe arrestee needs to be con-fronted with the new evi-dencerdquo he claimed

The law officer said Chi-

dambaram has answered 65questions and after that hispace decreased while answer-ing specific queries support-ed by ldquoclinchingrdquo documentsand ldquoincriminatingrdquo materi-als during interrogation

ldquoGiven the volume of thematerials and his pace hisinterrogation could not be com-pletedrdquo Mehta said and soughtmore time from the court

He told the court thatthere were ldquoglaring discrep-

anciesrdquo between statementsof witnesses co-conspira-tors and Chidambaram andtherefore he needs to beconfronted with witnessesand new evidence that hascome forward

Sibal however said thereis no basis for furtherremand and the agencycould have easily confront-ed Chidambaram with thewitnesses all these days

ldquoWhy did the agency notconfront him with witness-es in the past seven daysOnly his statement wasrecordedrdquo he said

The court then asked theSolicitor General as to whyChidambaram was not con-fronted with any witness sofar To this Mehta said theED wanted to record hisstatement and there was atime limit The judge lookedat the remand applicationand said that at this paceeven 50 days will be less

ldquoThis was your groundlast time too for seekingcustodial interrogation thathe needed to be confrontedwith witnesses You record-ed his statement for fivedays Did not confront himwith any witness Now youare saying he needs to beconfronted with more ques-tions At this pace even 50days will be lessrdquo the judgesaid mdash PTI

New Delhi October 24In a major setback to tele-com service providers theSupreme Court today ruledthat the Centre was entitledto recover adjusted grossrevenue (AGR) of over Rs92000 crore from them

Allowing the Centrersquosappeal against a TelecomDisputes Settlement andAppellate Tribunalrsquos(TDSAT) order three-judgeBench headed by JusticeArun Mishra upheld thedefinition of AGR formulat-ed by the Department ofTelecom (DoT)

As per the New TelecomPolicy telecom serviceproviders are required toshare a percentage of theirAGR with the governmentas annual licence fee Butthe TDSAT had held thatAGR will include only rev-enue arising from licenceactivities and that capitalassets and receipt from thesale of scrap cannot beincluded in gross revenuefor computation of licencefee The TDSAT had

exempted a large number ofstreams from the definitionof AGR like capitalreceipts bad debt distribu-tion margins to dealersforex fluctuations sale ofscrap and waiver of late fee

Now the top court hasreversed the TDSATrsquos find-ings leading to huge finan-cial burden on telecomservice providers

ldquoWe are of the consideredopinion that interest and

penalty have rightly beenlevied Once an amount ofshortfall has not been paid ithas to carry 50 of the penal-ty on defaulted amount asagreed Thus we find nosubstance in the submissionthat interest penalty andinterest on penalty cannot berealised It is as per theagreementrdquo the top courtsaid adding there was noground to reduce it

Airtel owed Rs 2168213

crore as licence fee to thegovernment while Voda-fone and Reliance Commu-nications owed Rs 1982371crore and Rs 1645647crore respectively the DoThad said adding the state-owned BSNL owed Rs209872 crore and MTNLowed Rs 253748 crore Thetotal amount to be recov-ered from telecom compa-nies was to the tune of Rs9264161 crore it had said

New Delhi October 24India has jumped 14 places totake the 63rd position on theWorld Bankrsquos ease of doingbusiness ranking released onThursday figuring amongthe top 10 performers on thelist for the third time in a rowmainly due to the successfulimplementation of the Insol-vency and Bankruptcy CodeFinance Minister NirmalaSitharaman today saidefforts will be made to fur-ther simplify the GST whichwould further improveIndiarsquos ranking

Sitharaman also said she ismaking efforts to resolve dif-ferences between the Corpo-rate Affairs Ministry andEnforcement Directorateover the issue of attachmentof property of Bhushan Poweramp Steel Ltd (BPSL) The EDwants to attach the propertyof BPSL under the Preven-tion of Money LaunderingAct (PMLA) while the Min-istry for Corporate Affairs is

opposed to this standJust back from Washing-

ton after meetings withWorld Bank and IMF offi-cials Sitharaman pointedout that India was ranked142nd in 2014 and was at the100thh spot last year Indiais now at the 77th positiondue to reforms in insolven-cy taxation and other areas

However there are appre-hensions that countries tendto game the system becauseof the way in which the rank-ings are compiled Econo-mists have said the legal sys-tems of some countries maylend themselves to higherrates of economic develop-ment but the necessarycausal link between the two

cannot be easily establishedAfter a controversy last year

over higher rankings to Indiaand Chile then World BankChief Economist Paul Romerhad said he did not have ldquocon-fidence in the integrityrdquo of therankings and suggested thatthe data may have been tiltedtowards some countries Buthe later took back his com-ments and resigned

However the rankingsbring some relief to the coun-tryrsquos financial managers whohave to contend with the dis-appointment of RBI WorldBank and IMF slashing eco-nomic growth forecasts

ldquoThis is the third year in arow that India makes to top10 in Doing Business whichis a success which very fewcountries have done over the20 years of the project With-out exception the othercountries that have done thisare very small population-wise and homogeneousrdquoSimeon Djankov WorldBankrsquos Director of Develop-ment Economics said

As per the New TelecomPolicy telecom serviceproviders are required toshare a percentage of theirAGR with the governmentas annual licence fee Butthe TDSAT had held thatAGR will include only rev-enue arising from licenceactivities and that capitalassets and receipt from thesale of scrap cannot beincluded in gross revenuefor computation of licencefee The TDSAT had

exempted a large number ofstreams from the definitionof AGR like capitalreceipts bad debt distribu-tion margins to dealersforex fluctuations sale ofscrap and waiver of late fee
