Narendra Modi app does not seek blanket permissions for users' data: BJP

NEW DELHI: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was supplying to American companies data on Indians who had signed up for his NAMO app continuing his attack on the saffron camp since the Centre accused him of engaging controversial data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica a charge categorically denied by the opposition party. Setting off another round of political sparring Rahul Gandhi tweeted Hi! My name is Narendra Modi. I am India s PM. When you sign up for my official app I give all your data to my friends in American companies. The tweet tagged a web report which stated that a French cyber expert has claimed that personal data of subscribers to Namo app was automatically sent to a third-party domain without consent. Rahul has been tweeting incessantly since law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad alleged at a press conference that Congress had engaged controversial data mining firm CA. Prasad cited media reports to ask Congress if it would manipulate data to win the 2019 polls. The CA is at the centre of a storm for illegally harvesting Facebook data. While Congress roundly dismissed the allegations and asserted it had never hired the services of CA Rahul called Prasad s allegations as a ploy to divert popular attention from death of 39 Indians in Iraq which triggered off biting criticism of the Modi government. The row took a new turn when the India partner of CA alleged that the company may have tried to infiltrate and sabotage Congress in 2012. Rahul alleged the Congress-CA links were manufactured by BJP to bury the revelation. An angry AICC chief accused minister Prasad of lying for PM Modi as Goebbels did for Hitler. BJP: Rahul has no knowledge of technology In a series of tweets BJP countered Rahul Gandhi s twitter jibe at NaMo app saying it shows that the Congress President and his party colleagues have zero knowledge of technology and even accused the opposition party of taking help of data-mining firm Cambridge Analytica for electoral contests. Rahul Gandhi truly shows why he and his party have zero knowledge of technology. All they can do is scare the masse https://t.co/CwDuZ8ofHW BJP (@BJP4India) 1521963237000 Party said that Gandhi is no match for Narendra Modi and his fright about the NaMo app is very amusing. When his bots tried to trend #DeleteNamoApp day before yesterday (Friday) the popularity and downloads of NaMo app only increased. Today it will be no different! All they can do is scare the masses about technology while they continue to steal data using his Brahmastra of Cambridge Analytica the party said reiterating its allegations that Congress used stolen data from Facebook during the recent polls. Responding to the charges that NaMo app was sharing users data the party said contrary to Gandhi s lies data are being used for only analytics using third party service similar to Google Analytics. Analytics on the user data is done for offering users the most contextual content it said. We all know that Rahul Gandhi is no match for Narendra Modi. But seeing his fright about the Namo App is very amus https://t.co/4ypbU02vDe BJP (@BJP4India) 1521963305000 BJP clarified that this ensures that a user gets the best experience by showing content in his language and interests. A person who looks up agri-related info will get agri-related content easily. A person from TN will get updates in Tamil and get an update about an important initiative about TN. BJP also highlighted Rahul s candid admission during an interaction in Karnataka that he was unaware of NCC. Rahul Gandhi is in sublime form these days. After MRI & NCC today he exposes his great knowledge about technology. He is so rattled by the Cambridge Analyitca expose that he daily tries to divert attention from it yesterday (Saturday) it was the judiciary and today (Sunday) it is Namo App BJP said. BJP said Rahul should download the NaMo App to keep himself abreast with the good things happening in India. NEW DELHI: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of leaking details of his official mobile app users to US firms. Hi! My name is Narendra Modi. I am India s Prime Minister. When you sign up for my official App I give all your data to my friends in American companies Gandhi tweeted. Gandhi was referring to a media report in which a French vigilante hacker in a series of tweets alleged that the personal data including email IDs photos gender and names of the users of Modi s mobile app were being sent to a third party domain without their consent. Hi! My name is Narendra Modi. I am India s Prime Minister. When you sign up for my official App I give all your da https://t.co/tqWIPpRoJF— Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) 1521955478000 The Congress President also accused the mainstream media of burying this critical story as always . Gandhi s remarks came days after the BJP accused the Congress of compromising national security by roping in political data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica to run its 2019 election campaign. The firm is allegedly involved in social media data manipulation. Govt Sources on NaMo App controversy: Narendra Modi App provides a platform for millions of his fans and party cadre to connect directly with the Prime Minister. It is a one of its kind app which enables unprecedented engagement and interactivity. It is way different from the standard one-way flow apps belonging to political leaders and parties posses. It has numerous features which comprise the best of features from social media networks like Twitter Facebook LinkedIn etc.Users can create their own profiles earn points and win special awards for their activity levels. Users can also connect with MPs MLAs of their constituency and interact with them.The app also acts a work-flow management platform for lakhs of party workers. Even a booth worker can connect to the Party President & the PM through the NM App s New India Connect section. Tasks in the party now flow from top to bottom through the App which enables instant results and prompt reporting of status. Narendra Modi App has enabled numerous path-breaking engagements between people across the country and the Prime Minister. There is an exam warriors module where students from across the country are forming a community and also writing to the PM. For the Swachh Bharat Campaign people shared photos of their cleanliness activities. During the Gujarat elections PM Modi had a live video interaction with Mahila Morcha workers across Gujarat through the Narendra Modi App.Narendra Modi App is a unique App which unlike most Apps gives access to users in guest mode without even any permission or data. The permissions required are all contextual and cause-specific. For example a selfie campaign requires access to the camera and/or photo gallery. Contact access is required to connect with friends or fellow party workers on the New India connect module. If a person has entered his email address and date of birth he receives a personalised birthday greeting from the PM. Each function asks for the specific permission when access is required. The app does not ask for blanket permissions when the app is started.The data exposed by the French Twitter user is the data entered by the user on his own device. This is not a security breach. The person does not have access to any data apart from his own data.Data is being used for analytics using third party service similar to Google Analytics. The data in no way is stored or used by the third party services. Analytics and processing on the user data is done for offering users the most contextual content. This ensures that a user gets the best possible experience by show content in his/her own language. It also enables a unique personalized experience according to a person s interests. For example a person who looks up content related to agriculture will get agriculture related content prominently. A person from Tamil Nadu will get notifications in Tamil and get an update when the PM is in Tamil Nadu. Written by Tavleen Singh | Updated: March 25 2018 8:05 pm Instead of learning from the mistakes that brought it to its lowest point the Congress appears to believe that we must allow it one more chance to give us more of the same. The obituary of Narendra Modi is being written in political columns across the land and with uncontained glee in the drawing rooms of Delhi. Everyone agrees that the chances of his becoming Prime Minister again in 2019 have diminished in recent days. So it is important to examine what we could get instead. This is why I paid closer attention than usual to the economic and political resolutions passed by the Congress party s 84th Plenary Session; the first such plenary since Rahul Gandhi became president of the party of India s freedom movement. Reading these two resolutions made me very gloomy about India s future. Instead of learning from the mistakes that brought it to its lowest point the Congress appears to believe that we must allow it one more chance to give us more of the same.Top NewsException makes the ruleLiberal really?Hinduism for Hindutva At the helm naturally will be a member of the Dynasty that turned our oldest political party into a family firm. And there will be no change at all either in its political or economic ideas. Politically what this means is that the Congress will form alliances with any party that is not the BJP and therefore automatically secular . Economically there will be the same old mixed bag of tired platitudes and failed ideas. The economic resolution is a little scarier than the political because the most important political problem in India is the economy and it was its stagnant growth in Sonia-Manmohan s second term that made an aspirational impatient electorate want parivartan and vikas . You would think then that the Congress party s supposedly brilliant economic thinkers would have come up with some new ideas in the past four years. Right? Nothing of the sort. The economic resolution asserts clearly that the economy was managed excellently till 2014 and has been ruined only by bad managers in the past four years. Seriously? Sift through the dreary jargon of the new Congress party that its new president promises to create and you come up with not a single new idea. So the policies that caused millions of Indians to remain mired in poverty illiteracy and misery will continue. Instead of investment in better schools healthcare and rural services that could create millions of new jobs there will be the usual waiving of farmers loans and muddle-headed leaky welfare programmes. It is important to remember exactly what this means. After decades of socialist secular Congress rule in 2014 every other Indian child was malnourished 58 per cent of the population lived on less than 3.10 a day and about 170 million Indians lived below the poverty line of 1.90. Children whose parents were too poor to send them to private schools were forced to go to government schools so awful that if they could count to 100 and write their names by the time they finished school they would be counted as literate. Healthcare standards in nearly all of rural India were abysmal so most Indians were forced to use the services of dodgy private doctors if they wanted to survive an illness. Unsurprisingly when candidate Narendra Modi came along and started talking about how India had no reason to be a poor country and how we should aspire to doing more than just alleviating poverty his words had resonance. He started saying these things in a series of speeches he made in 2013 and because by then television had reached deep into the rural hinterland people were able to both see and hear him and they liked what they saw and heard. That year I remember in particular a tour of rural Rajasthan in which when I asked people who they were going to vote for they said Modi . When I pointed out that he was the chief minister of Gujarat they said they knew this but they wanted to make sure that he became prime minister. When I asked why they said We have seen his speeches on television and we like what he is saying. Let me remind you that not in one of those speeches did he say anything about Hindutva. His message was entirely about change and development and making India a strong and prosperous country and it was this that voters wanted to hear. If he had concentrated on changing India s economic direction as he promised we would have seen jobs being created today in the private sector and in a whole new range of services even in remote rural parts. He chose instead to continue with the statist socialist policies that the Congress followed and had kept India poor. And when this came with cow vigilantes running wild and Muslims and Dalits being killed brutally on suspicion of slaughtering cows it was this violence that came to define Modi s tenure in office. So if his obituary is being written by even those who supported him he has himself to blame.

Rahul Gandhi on Sunday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi s app was leaking data to US companies. In a post on Twitter Gandhi claimed that the Prime Minister was allowing American companies to take away the data of users who signed up for his application. Hi! My name is Narendra Modi. I am India s Prime Minister. When you sign up for my official App I give all your data to my friends in American companies Rahul Gandhi tweeted. To this the BJP countered the charge by saying that Gandhi and his party had zero knowledge of technology. The development comes close on the heels of the Cambridge Analytica scandal causing a political slugfest between the BJP and Congress. Both the parties accused each other of having links with the data company under the scanner for stealing data from Facebook and influencing elections. BJP alleged that Cambridge Analytica was involved in Rahul Gandhi s social media campaigns especially in last year s Gujarat Assembly election. Congress on its part claimed that BJP availed of the company s services in various state Assembly elections -- Bihar Maharashtra Haryana Jharkhand and Delhi -- besides for its Mission 272 plus in the 2014 general elections. Apart from these the two parties also crossed swords several times over the Aadhaar data security. In January when the nodal agency implementing the Aadhaar project Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) filed an FIR against the The Tribune and its reporter Rachna Khaira for an article reportedly exposing the ease with which anybody would steal Aadhaar-related data Congress had accused the NDA government of destroying the Aadhaar programme and called the FIR unfortunate . Here are the top developments in the latest data breach row allegedly involving the Narendra Modi app: 1. Rahul claims Modi s app steals data: Rahul took a jibe at PM Modi on Twitter on Sunday alleging that his Narendra Modi app was leaking data to US companies. Hi! My name is Narendra Modi. I am India s Prime Minister. When you sign up for my official App I give all your data to my friends in American companies. Ps. Thanks mainstream media you re doing a great job of burying this critical story as always.https://t.co/IZYzkuH1ZH Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) March 25 2018 2. BJP counters Rahul s claim: BJP said that Rahul Gandhi and his party had no knowledge about technology. Here is what BJP said in the tweet. Rahul Gandhi truly shows why he and his party have zero knowledge of technology. All they can do is scare the masses about technology while they continue to steal data using his Brahmastra of Cambridge Analytica. BJP (@BJP4India) March 25 2018 3. Union Minister K J Alphons responds: In an apparent response to Rahul Gandhi Alphons said I filled up to 10 pages for a US visa form. We have absolutely no problem giving our fingerprints and being naked before the white man at all. When your own government asks for your name and address there is a massive revolution saying it s intrusion of privacy. 4. Narendra Modi app sending user info to US company : French researcher Elliot Alderson has alleged that information of those who have downloaded the app was being provided to third party US company Clever Tap without users consent. In a series of tweet Anderson had claimed that user s device information as well as personal data was sent to a third-party domain called in.wzrkt.com. when a person creates profile in the app. 5. Latest row after govt issued notice to Cambridge Analytica: The government on Friday issued a notice to UK-based Cambridge Analytica asking it to give a list of clients and the source of data it had collected. The IT Ministry has asked the firm to respond by March 31 on six questions including how the company had collected user data whether consent was taken from the individuals and how the data was used. 6. Cambridge Analytica behind Rahul Gandhi s Gabbar Singh Tax jibe claimed BJP: Stepped up its attack on Rahul Gandhi and the Congress BJP had said that Cambridge Analytica s footprints were visible in the Opposition party s campaign in Gujarat. Further the BJP suggested that Cambridge Analytica had a role in the Congress chief s use of the term Gabbar Singh Tax . Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad also suggested that the firm had a role in Gandhi s social media campaign and the Congress poisonous electioneering in Gujarat. 7. Take action instead of holding press conferences Congress tells BJP: Senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi adviced the BJP that instead of holding press conferences the ruling party should take action over its allegation that the Opposition party is indulging in data theft to influence elections in India. Alleging that the BJP has dished out fake news for long Singhvi said that the spread of false information has been its forte. BJP is the party in power. Rather than holding press conferences why doesn t it take action? he said about Union Law and Information Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad s charge that the Opposition party was using data manipulation and theft to woo voters. 8. Congress called Ravi Shankar Prasad lie minister : Equating Ravi Shankar Prasad to Hitler s Goebbels Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said that now a new fake agenda is being used to stop the proceedings in Parliament. Surjewala added that instead of law minister Prasad should be called a lie minister . One who stole data (Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg) is also Prime Minister Narendra Modi s friend. Still they are shouting so much. Modiji and Prasad must reply to a few questions he added. 9. The battle over Aadhaar: Aadhaar has been another flashpoint between the two parties in their battle over data theft and privacy. Congress has time and again accused the NDA government of destroying the Aadhaar programme. In January Congress had condemned action against the reporter for an article which reportedly exposed the ease with which anybody can steal Aadhaar-related data. Instead of helping the poor it has become a tool of spying and surveillance Congress spokesperson Shobha Oza had said. In reply to Motion of Thanks to the President s address on February 7 prime minister Modi had attacked the Congress party over it s questions on the implementation of Aadhaar saying that Congress was crying foul because we made Aadhaar scheme better. I remember clearly when we won elections you (the Congress) said Modi will finish Aadhaar because it is our scheme (But) When Modi furthered it more scientifically and found new ways to implement it now after it has been implemented and started benefiting the poor you question its implementation the Prime Minister had said.

It provides a unique opportunity to receive messages and emails directly from the Prime Minister. THE BJP S online showcase for Prime Minister Narendra Modi the NaMo App which is under the spotlight in the wake of the debate over data privacy in social media asks users to provide access to as many as 22 personal features on their devices including location photographs and contacts microphone and camera. A comparative analysis by The Indian Express shows that this is more than what the official app of the Prime Minister s Office PMO India App asks users to volunteer access to 14 data points. The Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology s citizen-engagement app MyGov app asks for permission to access nine data points. Amazon India s app needs 17 permissions on various counts from users. PayTM s app demands access to 26 data points and Delhi Police s app asks for access to 25 tracks but they provide a wider range of services. The NaMo app updates users about achievements of the BJP government and provides access to the audio of Prime Minister s Mann Ki Baat . On Saturday the user of Twitter handle @fs0c131y described on the account as a French security expert and who identified himself to The Indian Express as Robert Baptiste said the app may be providing personal user data to a third party without the users consent. He identified the company as US-based Clever Tap.

The information shall not be provided to third parties in any manner whatsoever without your consent. When contacted by The Indian Express for comment the BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya did not respond to a specific question on whether this information was shared with a third party without the users consent. Read | Union Minister Alphons KJ dismisses Narendra Modi app data leak allegations as fake stories Responding to a detailed questionnaire sent Saturday Malviya said Sunday that data from the app is shared with a third party service for analytics similar to Google Analytics. The data in no way is stored or used by the third party services. Analytics and processing on the user data is done for offering users the most contextual content It also enables a unique personalised experience according to a person s interests he said. Described on PlayStore as the Official App of Prime Minister Narendra Modi the NaMo App mentions Bharatiya Janata Party 11 Ashoka Road New Delhi-110001 which used to be BJP headquarters till early last month as the address of the developer. Other political parties too use apps to connect to the electorate. The Congress party s With INC App demands access to ten data tracks. The SP App published by Anil Yadav who describes himself as Media Spokesperson Samajwadi Party on his verified Twitter account requires three data access points. The NaMo App is promoted through official government channels. Exam Warriors Modi s recently launched book aimed at the students preparing for the annual school exams encourages readers to download the NaMo app. The book was launched by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and Minister for Human Resource Development Prakash Javadekar in English and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Hindi. On March 23 The Indian Express reported that personal data of nearly 13 lakh NCC cadets was being collected so that the Prime Minister could interact with them. In a letter sent on February 23 the Director General of NCC told state directorates that the collection of data will facilitate this interaction by downloading Narendra Modi App in the cell phones of the cadets . Read | For chat with PM Modi NCC collects mobile email IDs of 13 lakh cadets According to NaMo App s description it brings to you the latest information instant updates & helps you contribute towards various tasks. It provides a unique opportunity to receive messages and emails directly from the Prime Minister. Under details the app specifies that no permission is compulsory on the NM app and has the facility that the user can disable the access for these permissions in settings. However when it is downloaded most of the permissions are given by default. It also mentions that the app can be accessed without registering with an email address or phone. According to the Supreme Court s ruling on privacy in August 2017 informed consent is important for data protection and data privacy. The fact that permissions for the NaMo app are not compulsory can only be found if one goes through the Read More section of the app users are not informed of it when downloading the app. Malviya said Each function asks for the specific permission when access is required. The app does not ask for blanket permissions when the app is started. When the app is downloaded it asks for access to the media stored on the phone which can be denied. It does allow use of the app without registering but a lot of the app s features do not function in guest mode or without allowing all the permissions sought. Malviya said that unlike most Apps the NaMo app allows users access in guest mode without any permission or data . The permissions required for the app he added are all contextual and cause-specific . On Saturday Baptiste had tweeted: When you create a profile in the official @narendramodi #Android app all your device info (OS network type Carrier .) and personal data (email photo gender name .) are send without your consent to a third-party domain called http://in.wzrkt.com. Baptiste said that wzrkt.com was a property of a company named Clever Tap. Actually Clever Tap is a company owned by Wizrocket which is a data analytics start-up founded in Mumbai in May 2013 and is now headquartered in California. On its website Clever Tap mentions that it helps organisations analyse data for stronger engagement with their users. It helps its clients it says on its website under user segmentation to influence app users behaviour by uncovering key insights across various dimensions. The NaMo App does not have any specific option of users consenting to their data being shared with Clever Tap. Speaking to The Indian Express Baptiste said the main issue is that personal information of users is shared without the consent of the user with a third-party company. These data can be used for a lot of things after that (sic) he said. Like they did for Cambridge Analytica for example. He was referring to the UK-based political consultancy Cambridge Analytica which is at the centre of a worldwide storm over its role in illegally using private information of Facebook users to influence election campaigns. Baptiste said the NaMo App does not share all the data that it has access to on users phones with Clever Tap but only information gathered at the time of registration. It means though the app continues to hold access to photographs location microphone camera identity contacts etc. it only shares information like the mobile operating system telecom carrier email gender name and photograph used for app registration. In his response Malviya said the app provides a platform for millions of his fans and party cadre to connect directly with the Prime Minister . Calling it one of its kind he said the app enables unprecedented engagement and interactivity and is way different from apps of other parties and their leaders which are one-way flow. He mentioned various path-breaking engagement activities including the exam warrior module of the app. Regarding Baptiste s claims Malviya said the user was only sharing his or her own data. This is not a security breach. The person does not have access to any data apart from his own data he said.

But the formula he laid out does not cover comprehensive cost (C2) that a section of farmers has been demanding. Instead the government will go for the A2 FL formula that covers cost and imputed value of unpaid family labour. It has been decided that the MSP of notified crops will be fixed at least one and a half times of their cost. If I may elaborate on this the MSP will include labour cost of other workers employed expenses incurred on own animals and cost of animals and machinery taken on rent cost of seeds cost of each type of fertilizer used irrigation cost land revenue paid to the state government interest paid on working capital ground rent in case of leased land Modi said. Not only this but also the cost of labour of the farmer himself or any other person of his family who contributes his or her labour in agricultural work will be added to the cost of production he added. All the cost and imputed value of unpaid family labour enlisted by Modi is referred as A2 FL formula. A section of farmers organisations has however been demanding use of comprehensive cost (C2) formula which takes into account rental value of owned land and interest on fixed capital apart from A2 FL. PM Modi s remarks on Sunday gave a clear signal that the government won t go for C2 formula while fixing MSPs of Kharif (summer sown) crops which will be marketed from October. Efforts are on to connect local village mandis to wholesale market and then on with the global market. Twenty-two thousand rural haats in the country will be upgraded by creating the necessary infrastructure and these will be integrated with APMC and e-NAM platform so that the farmers would not have to go to distant places for selling their produce said Modi. After going round several mandis (agri markets) across five states during March 14-22 the group led by Yogendra Yadav of Swaraj Abhiyan on Saturday claimed that farmers were not able to sell any crop at MSP at any of these mandis and urged the government to open up a sufficient number of procurement centres so that farmers are not forced into situation of distress sale. The Prime Minister in his radio address also hailed the role of leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi Lal Bahadur Shastri Ram Manohar Lohia Charan Singh and Devi Lal for recognising agriculture and the farmer as vital aspects of the nation s economy. Referring to Bhimrao Ambedkar he said Many people mocked Baba Saheb Ambedkar tried to pull him back and made every possible effort to ensure that the son of an impoverished and backward family would not progress in life be something and succeed in life. But the picture of New India is altogether different . NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today lamented that many people mocked Bhimrao Ambedkar and made efforts to ensure that the son of a backward family does not progress but noted that today s new India is altogether different as it belongs to the poor and the backward. In his monthly Mann ki Baat radio address the prime minister also hailed the role of leader such as Mahatma Gandhi Lal Bahadur Shastri Ram Manohar Lohia Charan Singh and Devi Lal for recognising agriculture and the farmer as vital aspects of the nation s economy. The prime minister said Ambedkar showed us that to succeed it is not necessary for a person to be born in an illustrious or rich family but even those who are born in poor families in India can dare to dream their dreams and realise those dreams by achieving success. The prime minister said he himself is an example of Ambedkar s philosophy. ...many people mocked Ambedkar tried to pull him back and made every possible effort to ensure that the son of an impoverished and backward family does not progress in life be something and succeed in life. But the picture of new India is altogether different. It is an India which is Ambedkar s India of the poor and the backward Modi said. He said on the occasion Ambedkar s birth anniversary from April 14 to May 5 Gram-Swaraj Abhiyan is being organised. As part of the campaign separate programmes on village development poverty amelioration and social justice will be held throughout India. I urge you all to be a part of this campaign he said. Years ago Modi said Ambedkar spoke of India s industrialisation as a means to generate new jobs and push development. Today the campaign of Make in India is progressing successfully in consonance with Ambedkar s dream of India as an industrial super power -- that vision of his has become our inspiration today the PM said. That the development of industries could only be possible in the cities was the kernel of the idea of Ambedkar and that was the reason he banked upon urbanisation of India he said. Baba Sahib had strong faith in self-reliance. He did not want anybody to languish in poverty forever. He also believed that poverty cannot be ameliorated by mere distribution of capital...Today our monetary policy Start Up India Stand Up India initiative have become seedbed for our young innovators and young entrepreneurs Modi pointed out. He also hailed the role of Ambedkar in propagating the idea of having ports and waterways to boost economy. He said when India was discussing Partition the World War II and the Cold War Ambedkar in a way laid the foundation of Team India s spirit. He had talked about the importance of federalism federal system and stressed on the Centre and states working together for uplift of the country. Today we have adopted in all aspects of governance the mantra of co-operative federalism and going a step further we have adopted competitive cooperative federalism Modi said. Referring to the agriculture sector the PM said from Mahatma Gandhi to Lal Bahadur Shastri Ram Manohar Lohia Charan Singh and Devi Lal --all recognised agriculture and the farmer as vital aspects of the nation s economy and also for the common man s life. He recalled Mahatma Gandhi s words that to forget how to dig earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves. He said Shastri insisted improvised agricultural infrastructure while Lohia talked of creating a mass awakening about necessary measures to ensure a better income for farmers. He recalled that Charan Singh in his speech in 1979 had urged farmers to use new technology and to adopt new innovations and underlined their vital significance. In his Man Ki Baat programme on Sunday Prime Minister Narendra Modi cited the example of a rickshaw puller from Karimganj district in Assam who built nine schools for poor children. That he said gave him a glimpse into the nation s willpower. But did he get a glimpse into the determination of state governments cutting across party lines to kill initiatives like this using the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (better known as the Right to Education or RTE Act)? Representational images. Reuters Maharashtra where the government is headed by his protégé Devendra Fadnis has sent closure notices to 7 000 schools. The state is currently in the thick of a row over delayed reimbursements for admitting children under a 25 percent quota for economically weaker sections (EWS). It has not given refunds for five years now. When the schools said that they will not admit students under the EWS category till their dues were settled the state government threatened to cancel their registration. Some schools went to the court and got an interim stay. The state government has now said that the stay will apply only to schools that have gone to the court while administrators will be appointed in others. But reimbursement is not the only issue troubling budget private schools (which is probably what the rickshaw puller s schools are) across the country. Saying that schools are not conforming to the various infrastructure and input norms stipulated by the RTE Act as a condition for recognition many of these are being slapped with closure notices. Kerala and Delhi have sent notices to 2 500 and 300 schools respectively with a deadline of 30 March. Haryana too has sent notices to 1 300 schools. According to data put out by the National Independent Schools Alliance (NISA) as of May 2016 (the latest available consolidated data) a little over 4 000 schools have been closed since 2013 under the RTE Act while closure notices have been issued to around 7 700. The RTE Act does not make a distinction between posh private schools charging around Rs 6 000 a month and budget private school that charges Rs 500-600 a month. Both are required to pay their teachers according to the latest Pay Commission award. The area requirement for both is same even though budget private schools operate out of congested low-income localities where the required space may not be available. Unfortunately much of the lament-laden commentary about private schools fail to make this distinction. At the risk of being accused of injecting a communal element into this important issue one point needs to be made. The rickshaw puller in Assam may not face many of these issues. His name is Ahmed Ali and it is possible that the schools he has set up will be categorised as minority-run institutions which are exempt from these stipulations. The answer to this however is not to bring minority institutions within the Act s fold. It is to insist on the scrapping of the Act itself. Because this is not the only discrimination built into the RTE Act. Many government schools too do not have proper classrooms or conform to the prescribed pupil-teacher ratio. This is confirmed by both data from the District Information System for Education (DISE) as well the last Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report on the implementation of the RTE Act. Government schools however do not face the threat of de-recognition. Worse the RTE Act has only opened up avenues for corruption. The CAG report talks about excessive and irregular reimbursements schools not meeting the required norms as well as those functioning without recognition. Could Ahmed Ali have set up nine schools if he did not enjoy exemption from the sundry conditions of the RTE Act and thus get freedom from paying bribes or spending time in compliance-related paperwork? The working of the RTE Act has proved what critics warned when it was being debated and legislated that it will do more harm than good. Even the good is questionable. The CAG report had pointed out using the Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) that the net enrolment ratio (NER) in primary education (Class 1-5) has declined steadily from 96 percent in 2012-13 to 87.3 percent in 2015-16. The demand for education among low-income groups is growing there is a realisation that this is the only way out of poverty. But government schools alone cannot cater to this demand. Budget private schools are chipping in big time. If Modi wants more initiatives like that of Ahmed Ali s he has to bring in a drastic overhaul of the RTE Act if not a complete junking of it. The BJP now has a majority in the Rajya Sabha and is in power in 19 states. There can be no excuse to dither on this vital issue. The writer is a senior journalist. She tweets at @soorpanakha

The Modi authorities converted it into vast gauge. All over the place the authorities has transformed 900 km of tracks to extensive gauge. It also launched a Rajdhani Express and the Tripura Sundari Express between Agartala and Delhi.

Roads and highways Modi has branded his policy to construct infrastructure in northeast as Transformation with the aid of Transportation . Lack of connectivity has been a major roadblock inside the financial progress on the location. Modi s promise of connectivity resonates with the masses. More than three 800 km of country wide highways with an funding of Rs. 32 000 crore had been sanctioned inside the location within the beyond three years while almost 1 2 hundred km of roads have been built in keeping with the authorities. In a public declaration in December final yr Modi stated the centre would make investments another Rs. 60 000 crore below the Special Accelerated Road Development Programme in the northeast and Rs. 30 000 crore below the Bharatmala project over 3 years. Modi additionally dedicated to the country a 271-km -lane countrywide dual carriageway connecting Tura in western Meghalaya to the nation capital Shillong closing year. Air connectivity The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has allocated Rs 3 400 crore for the upgradation of airports within the North East vicinity. According to the government initiatives really worth Rs 934 crore have already been finished at the same time as the relaxation might be over in the subsequent two or three years. The aviation tasks in the northeast consist of re-carpeting of the runway at Silchar and Lilabari airport and an aviation manpower training institute; development of Rupsi airport; a brand new included airport and an engineering workshop at Agartala; growth and revamp of present terminal building and runway at Dimapur; installation of an instrument touchdown system (ILS) at the Shillong airport; and operationalisation and development of the Tura airport. Other initiatives and regulations Last year Modi devoted the 60-MW Tuirial hydropower energy project which made Mizoram the 0.33 strength-surplus nation within the northeast to Sikkim and Tripura. The undertaking is anticipated to produce 251 million devices of electricity annually. Announced in 1998 with the aid of the then Atal Bihari Vajpayee government it became the primary most important critical authorities challenge to be correctly commissioned in Mizoram. Recently the government determined to fully fund numerous Central projects being implemented in the northeast instead of the previous practice of sharing 90 per cent of the cost. The Modi authorities has also made the 1360-km lengthy India-Myanmar-Thailand trilateral toll road that is to be finished in 2020 a centerpiece of its Act East policy. Opening the northeast to the ASEAN international locations the dual carriageway will improve the nearby economic system. In Budget 2018-19 the authorities re-categorized bamboo from tree to grass which could enable simpler cultivation for business purposes.

But Meghalaya threw up a hung Assembly with the incumbent Congress emerging as the single-biggest birthday party. With the BJP s improved performance within the Northeast it now runs governments in Manipur and Assam as properly the Narendra Modi authorities will now want to face the undertaking of delivering on the contentious Naga Accord. In Nagaland the BJP had contested the polls with the Neiphiu Rio-led Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP). On its personal the BJP gained a creditable 11 seats and 14.6 in keeping with cent if the votes. With its best https://www.zintro.com/profile/zi8313ec08?ref=Zi8313ec08 friend NDPP prevailing 15 seats the alliance fell brief of the halfway mark. However Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said his birthday celebration would form a coalition authorities with the Naga Peoples Front which gained 27 seats 4 quick of a majority inside the 60-member Assembly. In Meghalaya the incumbent Congress won 21 seats. The National People s Party a BJP ally won 19 and the BJP won 2. The BJP improved its vote share to nine.6 per cent. However Congress leaders Kamal Nath and Ahmed Patel landed in Shillong to attain out to smaller parties to discover the opportunity of forming the authorities and prevent a repeat of Goa and Manipur in which the party had emerged the single-biggest party however changed into crushed by means of a fleet-footed BJP in government formation. Until 2016 the BJP never had a central authority in any of the northeastern states. Efficient election control and electoral tie-u.S.Made the BJP win the Assam Assembly polls in 2016. By the end of that 12 months in the back of-the-scenes paintings helped it form the authorities in Arunachal Pradesh. While the Congress emerged the single-largest birthday celebration in Manipur in the 2017 Assembly polls the BJP had reached out to smaller parties to form the government in that country. As the consequences trickled in on Saturday the Tripura verdict introduced lots cheer to the BJP management. It had defeated its ideological enemy the CPI (M) which has gained elections successively in the kingdom seeing that 1993. The Congress vote percentage collapsed from 36.Fifty three in step with cent in 2013 to one.Eight consistent with cent. The alliance of the BJP and Indigenous People s Front of Tripura (IPFT) was on path to win 43 of the 60 seats. The BJP along side its allies will now have governments in 21 states. But a jubilant birthday celebration leader Amit Shah said the BJP s golden technology might be whilst its wrested West Bengal Odisha and Karnataka from rival events. The Karnataka Assembly polls are scheduled for April-May. Aware that the BJP and its ally the National People s Party would possibly struggle to cobble a coalition Shah dominated out the possibility of his birthday celebration conducting horse-buying and selling in Meghalaya. Where is the question of tod-phod (horse-buying and selling). The Congress does no longer have a majority there he said. Shah stated the wins had been an endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi s leadership. Assam minister and BJP chief Himanta Biswa Sarma said Tripura s outgoing chief minister Manik Sarkar should take safe haven in West Bengal Kerala or neighbouring Bangladesh. In a statement the CPI (M) stated the BJP utilised large deployment of cash and different resources to steer the elections . It said the BJP changed into able to consolidate all the anti-Left votes and virtually appropriated the erstwhile essential competition party the Congress. The CPI (M) politburo thanked the 45 in line with cent of Tripura voters who voted for the Left parties. The defeat for the CPI (M) comes at a time of an internal battle among former birthday party chief Prakash Karat and current chief Sitaram Yechury. The birthday party conclave in Hyderabad inside the later part of April is set to discuss the birthday celebration s mind-set in the direction of electoral understandings with other secular democratic events for the Lok Sabha polls. The BJP s wins in the Northeast tie nicely with its plans to compensate any losses it might suffer in northern India by winning seats in a number of its electorally weaker areas. 19:28 (IST) BJP-IPFT alliance scripts records with Tripura Assembly ballot victory The BJP-IPFT combine scripted records on Saturday through triumphing the Tripura Assembly polls finishing 25 years of uninterrupted rule of the CPM-led Left Front within the kingdom. The birthday celebration captured 23 seats on its personal while its alliance companion the Indigenous People s Front of Tripura (IPFT) bagged 7 seats giving the integrate a majority within the House in step with Election Commision (EC) sources. The saffron birthday celebration inflicted a humiliating defeat at the Left Front which had never confronted this sort of scenario even if it had lost electricity in 1988 to the Congress-Tripura Upajati Juba Samity combine. The BJP s strong showing came as a surprise for many because the birthday party did no longer actually have a councillor in Tripura. It had secured much less than two in step with cent votes within the 2013 Assembly election inside the nation. PTI By Amulya Ganguli An indication as to how tough it's far going to be for the competition on the country wide stage to get its act collectively become to be had after K. Chandrashekar Rao met Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata to lay the inspiration for a federal the front. However even earlier than the proposed alliance could get off the ground the differences approximately its framework have been seen. While the Telangana Chief Minister wanted it to be a non-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) non-Congress group his West Bengal counterpart kept her options open about including the Congress. A characteristic of these alliances is that each in their materials is guided by using the ground realities in their personal states which may be at variance with the political circumstance in some different kingdom. For example the Congress can be a greater bold adversary for Chandrashekhar Rao in his country however it isn t so for Mamata Banerjee. So while the Telangana Chief Minister wants to preserve the 133-year-vintage Grand Old Party at arm s duration Mamata Banerjee a former Congress character is extra accommodative. Similar conflicting perceptions are known even within one party together with the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) where the Kerala comrades are towards any proximity to the Congress obviously due to the fact the latter is a force to reckon with in the southern country but the Marxists in West Bengal are keen on a tie-up with the Congress towards the BJP seeing that they not face any primary chance from their antique opponent inside the kingdom. Rahul Gandhi s wish therefore of forming a achievable anti-BJP alliance with other events faces sizeable roadblocks. Yet the BJP s cutting-edge vulnerability is obvious to its political enemies. At the equal time the non-BJP events realize that none of them is succesful on its own of supplying a extreme assignment to the ruling party at the Centre. Banding them together is the only alternative. The egos of character leaders also are a problem for none of them might be inclined to concede the role of a pacesetter to every other. Difficulties of this nature have plagued in advance such formations. In the Janata Party (1977-80) the duel was between Morarji Desai Charan Singh and Jagjivan Ram. In the Janata Dal (1989-ninety one) it changed into between V.P. Singh Devi Lal and Chandrashekhar. It become to triumph over comparable confrontations in the careworn put up-1996 scene that the name of then West Bengal Chief Minister Jyoti Basu was proposed with the aid of United Front leaders like H.D. Deve Gowda Mulayam Singh Yadav and others however became rejected through the CPI-M. The BJP on the other hand has been fortunate in having an unchallenged chief like Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 1996 and in Narendra Modi now. Who may be the unchallenged leader within the non-BJP camp at gift? Although the leaders in a federal front are fairly influential in their home provinces none of them measures up to the popular photograph of a Prime Minister who's a sober sophisticated nicely-knowledgeable widely respected truthful and independent character with a truely identifiable vision. To start with Sharad Pawar who is among those who've shown an interest in main the fee against the BJP there has been a query mark over his reliability ever for the reason that his birthday party was seemingly seemed with the aid of the BJP as a prop against the Shiv Sena s machinations in Maharashtra. He is typically visible as too smart with the aid of half and too much of a deal-maker to be relied on as the guiding mild for the state. His age -- Pawar is 78 -- is likewise against him. India appears to be coming around to accepting Modi s view as articulated by using senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha that a flesh presser is mind lifeless after seventy five. Rahul Gandhi at 48 is secure on this regard as is Mamata Banerjee (63) whose case is being energetically pushed by using one in all her lieutenants in Delhi. But at the same time as the Congress president continues to be taken into consideration no longer grown-up sufficient the West Bengal Chief Minister is just too immersed in her very own province to be seen as a national leader. Akhilesh Yadav (forty five) and Mayawati (62) have the same disadvantage of being rooted in the Hindi belt with its concomitant of casteism. Though additionally from the identical vicinity sixty seven-year-old Nitish Kumar was once taken into consideration a likely Prime Minister cloth earlier than he shot himself inside the foot together with his politics of perambulation all the time searching out inexperienced pastures. The naked cabinet of PM hopefuls leaves most effective 72-yr-old Sonia Gandhi who has been engaged in dinner international relations to cobble together an anti-BJP formation as a likely candidate. But her minus factors are apparent. For one she does not look like within the crimson of health. For any other any whiff about her aspirations will make the Hindu Right revive the foreigner debate with brilliant gusto with Sushma Swaraj perhaps once more threatening to shave her head as in 2004. For a third she may not be fascinated as she is outwardly rationale on paving the way for her son s elevation. Yet the former Congress president is probable the handiest one with a far wider acceptability in the non-BJP camp than everyone else and also some of the Dalits backward castes and minorities in addition to a segment of the traditional Congress supporters in the higher caste even though now not a number of the middle magnificence. In a manner she offers the excellent of a horrific bargain with the consequent turmoil proving to be one of the worst in current years. (Amulya Ganguli is a political analyst.

State BJP President Dilip Ghosh who was visible brandishing a sword at a rally in West Midnapore district s Kharagpur said rallies with fingers might be taken out in the vicinity inside the night and claimed that such a lot of human beings s participation suggests the usa is moving toward Ram Rajya . There could be armed rally in Kharagpur. I will carry guns myself. This has been an vintage tradition here to behavior armed rallies. It might preserve. It appears we are coming near closer to Ram Rajya. Those who did not want it also are wanting it now. I am certain Ram Mandir could additionally be constructed in Ayodhya Ghosh claimed. BJP chief Mukul Roy who defected from the TMC remaining 12 months was also visible main a rally in north 24 Parganas district s Newtown place. Arms are nothing but symbols.
