Kejriwal arrives in Gujarat on 2-day visit, Mann accompanies him
Kejriwal and Mann, who arrived in Vadodara on Tuesday evening, received a grand welcome at the airport by AAP leaders, including party's Gujarat chief Isudan Gadhvi, Visavadar MLA Gopal Italia, Vadodara unit leaders Ashok Ojha and Viren Rami.
Speaking to media persons upon arriving in the state for a two-day visit, Kejriwal trained guns at the BJP for 'suppressing and repressing' the milk producers in the state as well as the tribals. Referring to the July 14 incident of violent clashes between cattle rearers and the police outside Sabar Dairy in Sabarkantha district, Kejriwal said, 'The BJP has been in power in Gujarat for 30 years and their heightened arrogance and corruption have led to such incidents where innocent cattle rearers protesting for their rights were lathicharged and oppressed, resulting in the death of one farmer in the violence.'
Kejriwal also spoke about the recent arrest of AAP MLA Chaitar Vasava, who has been lodged in the Vadodara Central Jail since July 6 in an alleged case of attempt to murder of a local BJP leader in Dediapada, who is the complainant in the case. Kejriwal said, 'Chaitar has been fighting for the cause of the tribals and therefore, the BJP continues to file cases against him and find reasons to keep him behind the bars… Both Bhagwant Mann and I will visit Modasa to speak to farmers and then to Dediapada to speak to tribals about their issues,'
Mann and Kejriwal will stay in Vadodara on Tuesday night before heading to Modasa on Wednesday to participate in a Kisan Sammelan. On Thursday, they will address a tribal gathering in Dediapada in Narmada district.
AAP leaders, meanwhile, said that Kejriwal and Mann might also try to meet Vasava in the prison later on Thursday.

MCD holds elections for 25 committees after hiatus
New Delhi: A special meeting of Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) was convened on Thursday afternoon to elect candidates for 25 committees — 12 special and 11 ad hoc and the 2 committees of education and rural areas. This is the first such election after over two-and-a-half years. Since the number of nominations matched the required number of members, mayor Raja Iqbal Singh declared all nominations valid. He further announced that nominations for the posts of chairman and deputy chairman in each committee can be filed until July 31. Elections for these positions are scheduled for Aug 6 and 7. Additionally, leader of the house Pravesh Wahi authorised the mayor to nominate three expert members each to the education committee and the ad hoc committee on Scheduled Caste welfare and reservation implementation, respectively.

Responding to the allegations, Singh asserted that the issue was not new and had been raised in earlier House sessions too. "AAP had every opportunity to engage in constructive discussion and put forth its views but chose not to," he said. Former AAP member Mukesh Goel said: "If AAP is so concerned about Dalit councillors, it should have got their Dalit councillors nominated to the committees."

Shah unveils new national policy to further strengthen cooperative movement
Unveiling the 'National Cooperation Policy – 2025', Shah — who is helming the home as well as cooperation ministries — asserted that cooperatives are at par with the corporate sector in all aspects, including taxation. The latest announcement comes 23 years after a similar policy for cooperatives was brought way back in 2002 when Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led National Democratic Alliance was in power. New Delhi, Jul 24 (PTI) Union Minister Amit Shah on Thursday announced a new national policy to boost the cooperatives sector, with the vision to have more professionally-managed and financially-independent cooperative organisations in every village. He urged states to start implementing the new policy at the earliest and emphasised that the cooperative sector has the potential to bring development for India, which aims to be a developed nation by 2047. The mission is to make cooperative organisations professional, transparent, equipped with technology, and financially independent as well as successful, he added. 'The target is to have at least one cooperative organisation in every village of the country,' said Shah. Besides, the aim is to bring in at least 50 crore people under the ambit of cooperatives. 'The policy is far-sighted, practical and result-oriented,' the minister said. He further said the Modi government has set a target to make India the world's third-largest economy by 2027. 'I have full confidence that we will definitely achieve this goal.' Shah said over the past 4 years, Ministry of Cooperation has achieved many accomplishments, but its greatest achievement is that today, the member of even the smallest cooperative unit in the country stands with pride. The minister exuded confidence that the latest policy will be instrumental in helping India become a developed nation by 2047. He also urged state governments to start implementing the new policy. Shah recalled that it was a BJP-led government at the Centre which had brought the first national policy for the cooperative sectors in 2002, and next policy too has been introduced by the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The policy has been prepared by a 48-member national-level committee headed by former Union Minister Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu. The panel received about 750 suggestions from stakeholders, and also held extensive discussions with the RBI and NABARD. The new cooperative policy will prove to be a milestone in the cooperative movement of India for the next two decades from 2025-45, the ministry had earlier said. It has been framed to make cooperative institutions 'more active and useful in the current economic scenario' and enhance the sector's role in achieving the goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047. The policy would also strive to make cooperative institutions job creating centres. PTI LUX MJH NKD NKD ANU ANU This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
