Amit Shah, CM review ministers' work, party coordination
1 2 Jaipur: In a significant political development Saturday, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma's second visit to Delhi within five days fuelled speculation about imminent changes in the state's political landscape. The chief minister held an hour-long closed-door meeting with Union home minister Amit Shah , following his earlier meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday. While the Chief Minister's Office maintains these visits are routine, party insiders suggest otherwise. "Such back-to-back meetings with both PM Modi and HM Shah are rarely about routine work. They indicate high-level political recalibration," a senior BJP source revealed. The meetings are said to have centred on crucial issues, including potential political appointments, internal party coordination and governance concerns. Sources confirm that performance reports of several state ministers were reviewed during the meeting with Shah, indicating possible administrative changes ahead. Adding to the political intrigue is the growing internal friction within the state BJP, highlighted by former chief minister Vasundhara Raje 's recent criticism of the govt's handling of the Jhalawar school tragedy in which seven children died.

While immediate cabinet changes are not expected, sources suggest potential party organisation restructuring could follow Shah's proposed visit to Rajasthan in the coming months. The party is also considering appointing a new BJP general secretary (organisation) in Rajasthan to better streamline govt-party coordination. "Talks extended to the formation of a new team under BJP state president Madan Rathore and proposed changes in the state organisation," a source said. The developments come amid concerns over the chief minister's leadership style and public image, with party sources noting "growing concern over the CM's grip on governance and lack of political narrative." As Sharma returns to Jaipur Sunday, these high-level meetings have set the stage for what could be significant changes in Rajasthan's political landscape in the coming months.

Chouhan warns of strict action for black marketing of fertilisers
Patna: Union agriculture and farmers' welfare minister on Saturday warned that strict action would be taken against those found selling fertilisers on the black market in Bihar. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "They will be sent to jail," he said. Speaking at an event in Patna held to mark the payment of the 20th instalment of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana by pm Narendra Modi, Chouhan SAID fertilisers must reach farmers without fail. "If someone is found selling fertilisers on the black market, he should be sent to jail immediately. Strict action will be taken against those selling fake seeds and fertilisers," he said. Chouhan also appealed to farmers to embrace indigenous products. "The path to a self-reliant India is possible only by using indigenous products. Make 'Vocal for Local' a mass movement and strengthen the country's economy," he said. Taking a swipe at the opposition, Chouhan said, "Congress and RJD never deposited money in the bank accounts of farmers. Schemes like crop insurance are the gift of the Modi govt." Extending greetings ahead of Rakshabandhan, he said, "I wish all the women farmers a happy Rakshabandhan in advance. Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy, and this scheme is infusing new energy into the lives of farmers." Reflecting on earlier challenges faced by farmers, he said, "Earlier, farmers had to take money on interest. Today, it is being deposited directly into their bank accounts. There is an effort to increase the production per hectare of farmers." Highlighting Bihar's potential, he said, "Most of the makhana is produced in Bihar. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Makhana Board is ready and will be operational soon. Now, research will be done in villages and not in Delhi." "Today, more than 11 crore farmers are getting direct assistance of ₹6,000 per year without any discrimination and middlemen.

State agriculture minister and deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha praised the farming community. "Hardworking farmers not only produce food but also drive the country's progress.

Kishan demands Congress govt to scrap Muslim quota
Hyderabad: Union minister G Kishan Reddy on Saturday demanded the Congress govt to implement 42% quota exclusively for Backward Classes (BCs) in Telangana. He alleged that the Congress govt was discussing the BC reservation only to gain political advantage in the upcoming local body elections. "Now, under the proposed 42% quota, 10% is allocated to Muslims, leaving the actual BCs with only 32%," Kishan Reddy said while speaking at a dharna programme organised by the OBC Morcha of BJP at Indira Park on Saturday. The Union minister also alleged that Congress failed to conduct a proper caste survey, especially in Greater Hyderabad. He questioned why Congress did not conduct a caste census when it was in power at the Centre and in the state. "The Congress had never appointed a BC as either Prime Minister or chief minister. However, the BJP made a BC leader as PM, and chief ministers of several states are from BC communities, and included 27 BC ministers in the Union cabinet," he said.
