Rajasthan governor hails 'unity in diversity' at foundation day celebration of 4 states
Jaipur, Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra on Friday emphasised the "spirit of unity in diversity" as the Raj Bhavan hosted a cultural celebration to mark the foundation day of Goa, Sikkim, Telangana and West Bengal. Rajasthan governor hails 'unity in diversity' at foundation day celebration of 4 states The event, held at the Raj Bhavan in Jaipur, saw participation of people from the four states currently living in Rajasthan. Governor Mishra extended his greetings and held a warm interaction with the attendees, highlighting the cultural and historical significance of each state. The foundation days of the four states are observed on separate days, all in the last two months. "Celebrating foundation days of various states under the spirit of Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat helps us stay connected with the cultural threads that bind this nation together," the governor said. Mishra recalled Goa's liberation from the Portuguese rule through peaceful satyagraha movements supported by people from Maharashtra and Karnataka, including noted leaders like Jagannath Joshi and Sudhir Phadke. "Goa is not just a scenic tourist destination but also a symbol of resistance and rich folk culture," he added. Referring to Telangana, he praised the formation of the state and acknowledged the unique identity of both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, with Hyderabad serving as a common capital. He also underlined the importance of the region's language and cultural heritage. Describing Sikkim as a "gift of nature," the governor called it a small but spiritually rich state, often referred to as "mini-Tibet" due to its strong religious and cultural ethos. On West Bengal, he recalled its pivotal role in India's freedom struggle, remembering icons like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. "Bengal remains a powerhouse of art, literature, and culture," he said. Governor Mishra urged the audience, especially the youth, to work together to strengthen national unity and integrity. "Let us all work together to enhance the intellectual and physical capacity of the next generation in the interest of a strong and united India," he added.

One Nation One Election will open new avenues, speed up country's development: Kalraj Mishra
New Delhi [India] June 14, (ANI): Endorsing the One Nation One Election (ONOE) initiative, senior BJP leader and former Rajasthan Governor Kalraj Mishra has said it will not only reduce election-related expenses but also speed up the country's development by opening new avenues. Addressing an event at the Constitution Club in the national capital on Friday evening, Mishra said Lok Sabha and assembly polls were done simultaneously without any hiccup till 1967, since the first polls in independent India in 1952, as everyone was in support of simultaneous polls, be it the then ruling Congress or Communist parties. 'Everyone supported it, beyond political affiliations, be it then Prime Minister Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru or, Communist leaders...,' the former union minister said. He said the trend was 'broken' due to many reasons. 'It was broken as some new states were formed, and their assembly elections were held... then ruling Congress dismissed the opposition ruled state governments by misusing Article 356; general elections were preponed in 1972... term of Lok Sabha was also increased by an year to 6 years during Emergency...,' said Mishra said, who was the Governor of Rajasthan from 2019 to 2024. Simultaneous polls across the country will significantly reduce poll expenditure and manpower. This is not about any political party, ONOE is 'essential for the country's development,' he stressed. Mishra said it is fully 'according to the Constitution' and said the opposition parties should be asked which schedule of the Constitution forbids the ONOE. The senior leader recalled that even in 1983, the Election Commission felt the need to rethink on the simultaneous polls and said it was essential for the country. He said NITI Aayog in 2016, and other government commissions have also endorsed the ONOE. The 129th Constitutional Amendment Bill for simultaneous national and assembly polls was tabled in the Lok Sabha in December last. It was later referred to the Joint Parliamentary Committee. The Modi government had formed a High-level Committee on simultaneous Elections, under the chairmanship of former President Ram Nath Kovind, who submitted over 18,000-page report to President Droupadi Murmu in March last year. Earlier, the former governor condoled the loss of lives in the deadly crash of London-bound Air India plane in Ahmedabad on Thursday. He also remembered the former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani who also died in the deadly crash. The Boeing 787-8 aircraft was carrying 242 passengers and crew members, including 169 Indian nationals, 53 British nationals, seven Portuguese nationals, and one Canadian national. (ANI)
