Ashok Gehlot defends Gandhis, criticises BJP over ED and issues in Rajasthan

Jaipur, May 24 (IANS) Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has strongly defended Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi against the allegations being raised by the BJP, calling them politically motivated and baseless.

Gehlot said the BJP is deliberately targeting Rahul and Sonia Gandhi, including in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) case related to the National Herald newspaper.

He emphasised that the National Herald was started nearly 90 years ago and was part of Congress’s historical legacy. “There are many newspapers that operate and many that don’t. Congress tried to revive the National Herald. The BJP’s problem is that if this newspaper becomes active again, they can’t tolerate that it’s associated with Congress and religious harmony,” Gehlot said.

He further claimed that false cases have been filed regarding a newspaper that hasn’t even been published recently.

“Where there has been no transaction of even Rs 1, no exchange of money, then what is the justification for ED action?” he asked.

Gehlot added that if the opposition fails to question such misuse of power, the public will start questioning the opposition’s silence.

“Whenever questions are raised, BJP leaders get irritated. But it is our responsibility to question such undemocratic actions,” he added.

Turning to state-level issues, Gehlot criticised the ‘Rising Rajasthan’ investment summit, stating that the initiative is more about claims than results.

“There is no visible investment on the ground. Rajasthan is facing serious issues related to drinking water and electricity. There are power cuts lasting four to five hours in several areas,” he said.

He urged the Chief Minister to address these grassroots problems with urgency and ensure that the public doesn’t suffer.

“The heatwave is making things worse. The administration must act sensitively and ensure basic amenities are provided without disruption,” he said.

Commenting on the ongoing Nautapa (nine hottest days of the year) period, Gehlot urged people to avoid stepping out in extreme heat and take necessary precautions to safeguard their health.

Neha Ulhas Chande from Mumbai shares how ‘Skill India Mission’ changed her life

New Delhi, July 15 (IANS) As India celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Skill India Mission, the remarkable journey of Neha Ulhas Chande from Mumbai stands out as a shining example of how the initiative is transforming lives.

The first Indian to win a Gold medal in Beauty Therapy at the World Skills Olympics, Neha credits the mission for turning her dreams into reality – and for earning heartfelt praise from Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself.

Launched in 2015, the Skill India Mission was Prime Minister Modi’s ambitious vision to equip India’s youth with industry-relevant skills to drive employment, entrepreneurship, and sustainable livelihoods. A decade later, the mission has empowered millions, giving them not only skills but dignity and economic security.

Neha’s story was recently shared by ‘Modi Story’, a popular social media handle on X, which posted a video recounting her journey and emotional meeting with the Prime Minister.

“Today marks the anniversary of the launch of Skill India in 2015, a bold vision by PM Modi to transform skills into strength. Meet Neha Ulhas Chande from Mumbai, the first Indian to win Gold in Beauty Therapy at the World Skills Olympics,” the post said.

It added: “When she met PM Modi to express her gratitude, he replied: ‘It is I who should thank you, for making India proud.’ “I was once called just a beauty parlour girl. Today, I am a recognised cosmetologist – thanks to PM Modi’s vision,” Neha said.

On this World Youth Skills Day, thousands like Neha stand as a testament to how Skill India has empowered youth with dignity, recognition, and self-reliance.”

In the video, Neha described her humble beginnings and the turning point in her career:

“I had decided to do a course on personal grooming. I enrolled on a cosmetology course. During the same time, I participated in the World Skills Olympics, representing India in Beauty Therapy. That’s when I got to know about Skill India.”

Reflecting on her historic win, she said: “Skill India played a big part in my success. When I won, it was the first time India got a gold medal at the international level in skills.”

Neha recalled her moving interaction with the Prime Minister: “I thanked PM Modi, but he said, ‘In a country of millions, you have won this medal. I want to thank you for making India proud.’ That moment meant everything to me.”

She added, “Today, Skill India has grown so much. People respect us now. It’s given us recognition and dignity.”

The celebration of World Youth Skills Day on July 15 adds further significance to these achievements. Declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2014, the day highlights the importance of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship.

This year’s theme – “Youth Empowerment Through AI and Digital Skills” – underscores the need for preparing youth for a technology-driven future.

Through initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana and the Skill India Digital Hub, India is on track to become a global skills hub.

The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has empowered over six crore youth through its schemes. Since 2015, more than 1.6 crore youths have been trained across 38 sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, IT, electronics, and retail.

Of these, 45 per cent are women, and a significant share comes from Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes.

Government efforts have boosted job-readiness among college students from 34 per cent in 2014 to over 51 per cent in 2024. With nearly 65 per cent of India’s population under the age of 35, skilling and youth empowerment remain the keys to unlocking the nation’s future.

India’s purchase of Russian oil helped bring down global prices: Hardeep Puri

New Delhi, July 11 (IANS) Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri said on Friday that India’s purchases of Russian crude oil had helped to bring down global energy prices to stable levels.

In an interview with a foreign news channel, Puri said, “Russia is one of the largest crude producers with over 9 million barrels/day. Imagine the chaos if this oil, amounting to about 10 per cent of the global oil supply of around 97 million, vanished from the market. It would have forced the world to reduce its consumption, and since the consumers would be chasing reduced supplies, the prices would’ve spiralled to over $120-130.”

“India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been a net positive contributor to global energy price stability, while at the same time we successfully navigated the trilemma of energy availability, affordability and sustainability,” the minister said.

He explained that Russian oil was never under global sanctions. “Sensible decision makers around the world were aware of the realities of global oil supply chains and how India was only helping the global markets by buying discounted oil under a price cap from wherever we could,” the minister said.

“Some commentators who do not have an understanding of the dynamics of energy markets pass unnecessary judgments on our policies,” he added.

The minister pointed out that India continues to provide clean cooking gas to 330 million households in the country at the lowest prices in the world, while it provides universal clean cooking to more than 103 million beneficiary families under the PM Ujjwala Scheme at just 0.4 dollars/kg or just 7-8 cents/day.

Meanwhile, the minister also said, in a statement on X, that India plans to explore and drill for oil and gas with a whole new momentum across 2.5 lakh sq km in Round 10 under the Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP).

He highlighted that India’s target is to increase the country’s exploration acreage to 0.5 million sq km by 2025 and 1.0 million sq km by 2030.

Being close to discovering a Guyana-scale oilfield in the Andaman Sea, India is in the midst of one of the most ambitious plans to enhance the efforts to drill for more and further enhance hydrocarbons exploration in the country, he added.
