  • Tripura goes to polls on 16 February, Meghalaya & Nagaland to vote on 27 February

    Tripura goes to polls on 16 February, Meghalaya & Nagaland to vote on 27 February

    New Delhi (TIP)- The 2023 assembly elections season kicked off on Wednesday, January 18,  as the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the poll schedule for Tripura, Meghalaya and Nagaland next month, setting the stage for a fierce political battle in India’s northeast. Voting for assembly elections in Tripura will be held in a single phase on February 16, and in Nagaland and Meghalaya on February 27. The results will be declared on March 2, chief election commissioner Rajiv Kumar said during a press conference. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is part of the ruling coalition in all three states, which all have 60 seats in the assembly. The Commission, led by CEC Kumar, and election commissioners Anup Chandra Pandey and Arun Goel, appealed to all the voters to participate in the “festival of democracy”. “I urge all the voters to cast their ballot and be a part of this festival of democracy,” Kumar said while announcing the dates at the press conference. “The Commission is making all efforts to conduct an inclusive election.”

    The announcement marks the beginning of a packed assembly elections schedule in 2023, which will see polls in nine states in addition to possible elections in Jammu & Kashmir. The three states that go to the polls in February may be small – with one Lok Sabha and six assembly seats — but are likely to see pitched political contests, especially in Tripura and Meghalaya, where the ruling coalitions appear uneasy.

    January 30 will be the last date for nominations in Tripura, and February 7 for Meghalaya and Nagaland. The terms of Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Tripura assemblies are scheduled to end on March 12, 15, and 22 respectively. Each state has 60 constituencies, with 59 of them reserved for Scheduled Tribes in Nagaland, 55 in Meghalaya, and 20 in Tripura.

    Kumar urged people to vote and be a part of the festival of democracy. ECI has set up 9,125 polling stations in the three states, where over 628,000 people are eligible to vote. Of these, 22,000 are first-time voters. Nearly 82% of the polling stations are in rural areas.

    The poll body will webcast the polling process live from 73% polling stations. Kumar said ECI was committed to conducting free, fair, participative, and ethical elections. “There are only a few states where pre-poll and post-poll violence happens. The commission has spoken to the local authorities and all efforts will be made to ensure peaceful elections.”

    About 100 companies of central paramilitary forces will be deployed in Tripura’s sensitive areas due to fears of an escalation in political violence before the assembly polls. “Based on the assessment of the ground situation, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and State Armed Police (SAP) drawn from other States will be deployed during the elections. The CAPFs shall be deployed well in advance for area domination, route marches in vulnerable pockets, point patrolling and other confidence building measures to re-assure and build faith in the minds of the voters, especially those belonging to the weaker sections, minorities etc,” ECI said in a statement.

    The political contest is likely to be the most heated in Tripura, where the BJP made history in 2018 by defeating the Left Front government after two decades. This time, the ruling alliance of BJP and Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura is facing an alliance of erstwhile rivals Congress and the Communist Party of India-Marxist, and a third key force in the form of the TIPRA Motha party, which is expected to do well in the tribal-dominated regions. The party, founded by former Congress leader Pradyot Bikram Deb Barma, who is also a member of the royal family, has yet not decided on whether he will go it alone, or ally with one of the two major coalitions. Deb Barma has kept his cards close to his chest, and said that he will go with the party that accepts in writing his party’s demand for separate state called Tipraland. The key to the election may be held in the 20 tribal-dominated seats in the state.

    In Meghalaya, too, the ruling coalition of National People’s Party and the BJP appears to be under stress. Both parties have decided to fight the election separately, even as a third player, in the form of the Trinamool Congress, is trying to make inroads. TMC is led in the state by former chief minister Mukul Sangma, who left the Congress last year.               Source: HT

  • The Year 2023 will be a “big year” of activities: Ambassador Jaiswal

    The Indian Panorama Editor Indrajit Saluja interviewed Ambassador Randhir Kumar Jaiswal, Consul General of India at New York. This is the fourth part of the interview.

     Consul General of India at New York Mr. Randhir Kumar Jaiswal, a few days after joining the present position on 19th July 2020  in an interview with The Indian Panorama, had spelt out  in brief  his  priorities which included nourishing and  strengthening the already strong bonds between India and the US, and exploring  new areas of cooperation and relationship in diverse fields of  economy, trade, technology, and   culture etc. Ambassador Jaiswal added  that serving the Indian Diaspora remained the primary focused concern of  the Consulate. The strengthening of multi-stake holders relationship will be another priority, he said. The Indian Panorama interviewed him a couple of times, and each time, Mr. Jaiswal was forthcoming on all issues raised ,and questions asked.

    Three days to the end of the year 2022, Mr. Jaiswal agreed to sit with the editor of The Indian Panorama to share for the readers of the publication his thoughts. It was a long interview in which Ambassador Jaiswal touched upon all the aforementioned areas.

    In the part 1 of the interview published two weeks ago, Ambassador Jaiswal focused on the vibrant Indian American community and its contribution.

    In part 2 of the interview, we brought  to readers Ambassador’s perspective on Indian students as a powerhouse of knowledge, catalysts of  national integration, and promoters  of Indian arts, culture and values.

    In this third part of the interview, Ambassador Jaiswal spoke  about promoting economic relations between the two nations as one of the important functions of the Consulate, besides reiterating what he had said in the first part of the interview that the Consulate is “committed to public service”.

    In this  fourth part of the interview, Ambassador Jaiswal outlines the big events planned in the year 2023.

    Here are some excerpts from the interview.

    TIP: It is wonderful to know  the good things and the great things you have been doing. Hopefully you will  continue with them in 2023. Do  we have any specific events which are worth mentioning that you have planned for 2023?

    Ambassador:There’ll be a big 2023. As far as India is concerned, we will be taking over the presidency of G20. So that’s a big occasion for us. India will be leading the world in a sense. 20 countries of the world, big countries of the world, they account for 85% of the GDP, will have the meetings, which, in fact, have already started.  India will have the summit meeting somewhere in Septemberor  in the middle of the  year or thereabout. So that will be a big occasion for us to welcome leaders from across the world , and show them how it can contribute to inclusive growth, how it can contribute in solving the challenges of the world, how it can contribute to peace and security of the world,  how it can contribute to making the world a more progressive place for one and all, you know issues like inclusive growth, how we have dealt with public digital goods, which is a huge example. India’s  success is a huge example everywhere today. 40% of digital payments worldwide having made in India utilize technology platform and digital economy and digital platforms to pull out public services. And everybody has much to say about it. India’s FinTech platform, UPI is a major success and a global talking point today. The  approach we have on women empowerment, for example, the President of India is  an inspirational figure. Today, India counts for the highest number of women pilots in the world in terms of percentage, 12 and a half percentage. So,  all these good stories we want to tell. Even in a startup ecosystem, large number of them are led by women directors, women founders, very good story to tell. We want to tell  how we can contribute to the  World meeting Sustainable Development goals,  the world meeting climate change challenge, etc. We have much to contribute. We will see all this happening next year, as  India leads the G 20 as its president.

    Then next year we have is International Year of Millets what we call mota anaj in  our country. We piloted a resolution in the United Nations. It was India’s initiative. And thereafter now the United Nations will be celebrating International Year of Millets  across the world. The  Food and Agriculture Organization which is based in Rome will take the lead.  All our embassies and consulates will take lead and of course in India you will have functions throughout the year. The idea behind promoting millet is that millets  are  useful health wise and water wise. So, while it helps you being healthy,  at the same time,  it helps you in  taking climate change action. You know with less water you can produce more. And then of course,  there are several other benefits. There are benefits for farmers also.If you create a market for small and marginal farmers, they will get more income in their hands. So, it helps everybody. Thirty or forty years back everybody in India was given to eating millets, but somehow because of various factors, people moved away from eating them. But millets are back. If  you go to Indian restaurants in  Manhattan, there is something of millet which is available. So, we’ll try to do our best to promote consumption of millets.  In today’s world of sustainability and climate change action everybody is looking for a healthy diet. And, there are so many things that India has to offer, that  will promote trade from India. It will also promote sustainability in general.

    TIP:That  was at the national level. What have you planned here at the Consulate in 2023?

    Ambassador:There are a lot of activities  that we have definitely planned.  26th  January, of course. We will have  the reception after two years of COVID induced routine that we had, for which  we could not hold the reception to celebrate India’s Republic Day. Hopefully we’llhave no problem and we will celebrate India’s Republic Day and we’ll celebrate it with Indian  color,  Indian twist and with Indian millet dishes.

    We have SwamiVivekananda birthday on 12 January coming up. We’ll have a program on Swami Vivekananda’s birth anniversary. He visited United States in 1893.  American people’s attitude towards India changed the way he spoke about Indian philosophy and thought. People in America were able to better appreciate his thoughts because he  spoke their  language- the language which is universal. So the universality of India, the universalism of Indian thought was brought to the audience here. What he was also able to make an impact on is  the way modernity was defined here. He brought spirituality,  spiritual understanding to be part of  modernity.  I think his legacy and his wisdom and his guidance will help us go forward. The first Vedanta society he established was  here in New York, even before it was established in India. So, he has a huge imprint on the city. So,  we have a busy calendar.  We have Republic Day. We have the international year of millets. We will have several food festivals during the food festival year.

    TIP:Is there a date?

    Ambassador:No. It is  the whole year.  We will have top shows on millets we’ll be giving gifts  made of millets-biscuits for example, and such stuff. Then, we want to promote Indian coffee here. Indian coffee exports have seen a significant jump. We want to promote coffee coming from Karnataka. Coffee has a big  market.. We have  had programs to promote  Indian coffee before but we will have several new programs. We want to promote our superfoods. We also promote Indian wellness products. Wellness products are doing very well internationally. We also have a plan to promote tiles, tile exports from India. There are three or  four countries which are our major competitors-  Spain, Italy, China, etc. We have a presence here in the United States. But we can compete with the best. Indian tiles are doing very well in the Middle East and other markets. We have a presence here but we want to expand the presence. We also want to strengthen collaboration between startup ecosystem here in the US and in India.

    TIP:So,  apart from what you have said just now there are so many more. One question about the celebration of days of various States and their language and culture. Have  you drawn up a plan for 2023?

    Ambassador: Yes. We have several programs lined up as part of the languages series.We also have  the states that we celebrate here -Gujarat Day,  Maharashtra Day, Punjab Day,  Bihar Day etc.

                                                                                       (To be Concluded…)

  • World plagued by perfect storm on multiple fronts, we can work together to control damage: Guterres

    World plagued by perfect storm on multiple fronts, we can work together to control damage: Guterres

    Now more than ever, it is time to forge the pathways to cooperation in our fragmented world, he said

    DAVOS (TIP): The world is facing a perfect storm on multiple fronts and all that can be done now is working together to control the damage and seize the opportunities, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday, January 18. In a special address at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2023 here, he also called for ending the addiction to fossil fuels, and stopping “our self-defeating war on nature.” “There are no perfect solutions in a perfect storm. But we can work to control the damage and seize opportunities,” he added.

    Now more than ever, it is time to forge the pathways to cooperation in our fragmented world, he said.

    “I am not here to sugarcoat the scale of that challenge, or the sorry state of our world. We can’t confront problems unless we look them squarely in the eye. And we are looking into the eye of a Category 5 hurricane,” he said.

    “Our world is plagued by a perfect storm on a number of fronts. Start with the short-term, a global economic crisis. The outlook is bleak. Many parts of the world face recession. The entire world faces a slowdown,” Guterres warned.

    He further said COVID-19 is still straining economies while the world’s failure to prepare for future pandemics is straining credulity. “Somehow, after all we have endured, we have not learned the global public health lessons of the pandemic. We are nowhere near ready for pandemics to come,” he said.

    In addition to that, there is an existential challenge with the world flirting with climate disaster, he said.

    “Every week brings a new climate horror story. Greenhouse gas emissions are at record levels. The commitment to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees is going up in smoke. Without further action, we are headed to a 2.8 degree increase,” he added. “The consequences will be devastating. Several parts of our planet will be uninhabitable. And for many, this is a death sentence,” he cautioned.

    “But it is not a surprise. The science has been clear for decades… We learned last week that certain fossil fuel producers were fully aware in the 1970s that their core product was baking our planet,” he said.

    “Just like the tobacco industry, they rode rough-shod over their own science. Big Oil peddled the big lie. And like the tobacco industry, those responsible must be held to account. Today, fossil fuel producers and their enablers are still racing to expand production, knowing full well that their business model is inconsistent with human survival,” he said. Guterres said all these challenges, including violence and war, are inter-linked and they are piling up like cars in a chain reaction crash.

    “It would be difficult to find solutions to these global problems in the best of times — if the world was united. But these are far from the best of times, and the world is far from united,” he said.

    “We risk what I have called a Great Fracture — the decoupling of the world’s two largest economies,” he said, adding that it would result in a tectonic rift that would create two different sets of trade rules, two dominant currencies, two internets and two conflicting strategies on artificial intelligence. There are many aspects in which US-China relations diverge — particularly on questions of human rights and regional security. But it is possible and essential for the two countries to have meaningful engagement on climate, trade and technology to avoid the decoupling of economies or even the possibility of future confrontation, Guterres said.

    He also said that a “morally bankrupt financial system” is amplifying systemic inequalities and called for a new debt architecture that would provide liquidity, debt relief and long-term lending to enable developing countries to invest in sustainable development. According to him, the multilateral development banks must also change their business models and must concentrate on systematically directing private finance towards developing countries, providing guarantees and being first risk takers.

  • New Zealand PM quits ahead of Oct elections: Feb 7 last day in office

    New Zealand PM quits ahead of Oct elections: Feb 7 last day in office

    NEW DELHI (TIP): New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who became a global icon of the left after being elected the world’s youngest female head of state five and a half years ago, on Thursday, January 19,  announced her decision to quit her job due to vicious attacks and dwindling prospects of her party winning the next elections, according to a TNS report.

    A teary-eyed Ardern said in Napier that February 7 would be her last day as PM. “I know what this job takes, and I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice. It’s that simple,” she said.

    “The pressures on PMs are always great, but in this era of social media, clickbait and 24/7 media cycles, Jacinda has faced a level of hatred and vitriol which in my experience is unprecedented in our country,” said former New Zealand PM Helen Clark in a statement. In 2018, she became the second world leader to give birth while holding office (after Pakistan’s Benazir Bhutto) and in September of that year, she had brought her infant daughter to the floor of the UN General Assembly in New York.

    In 2019, Arden was lauded for handling the killing of 51 worshippers in two Christchurch mosques by a white supremacist. She also wanted tertiary education partially free, was focused on child poverty and decriminalized abortion besides calling out sexism in politics.

    She also said the next General Election would be held on October 14 but her Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson too has said he won’t contest the leadership of the Labour Party.

    Ardern’s popularity had declined due to rising living costs, growing crime and concern about social issues.

    We count a lot on India’s G-20 leadership: IMF MD Kristalina Georgieva

    WASHINGTON, D.C. (TIP): At a time when the world is faced with continued economic slowdown and social distress, the international community counts a lot on India’s leadership of G-20, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund Kristalina Georgieva said on Thursday, January 12.

    “India, which is the president of G-20 countries, remains among the countries that perform better than global average and by a good percentage,” IMF Managing Director told reporters during a media roundtable.

    India formally assumed the G20 (Group of 20) Presidency on December 1. The next G20 Leaders’ Summit at the level of Heads of State/Government is scheduled to be held on September 9 and 10 in New Delhi.

    “We count a lot on India’s leadership of the G-20. Because it is such a critical time for the world to protect its own wellbeing by protecting the integrated global economy. I hope that India will do that huge global service keeping us together,” she said.

    Georgieva lauded India for embracing digitization. “What we see as working extremely well for India is how the country has taken digitization that was accelerated by covid-19 to be a strong comparative advantage, both for public policy and for private sector growth,” the IMF Managing Director said in response to a question.

  • George Santos Faces Calls to Resign

    George Santos Faces Calls to Resign

    WESTBURY, N.Y. (TIP): Dozens of Republican officials in New York State, including four recently elected congressmen, urged Representative George Santos, on Wednesday, January 11, to resign in a fracturing of local party support for Mr. Santos. Their call represented a sharp break from congressional Republican leaders, who insisted they would not push the embattled congressman to resign. Even as Mr. Santos’s former allies in New York insisted that his fabrications on the campaign trail had significantly violated the public trust, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that he not only would resist calls to push Mr. Santos out, but that he planned to seat him on a congressional committee.

    “The voters elected him to serve,” Mr. McCarthy told reporters in Washington, adding that Mr. Santos “has to answer to the voters and the voters can make another decision in two years.”

    Mr. Santos, who was elected to represent New York’s Third Congressional District, a consequential swing district in Queens and Long Island, emphatically resisted calls to leave office, saying on Twitter that he remained committed to serving the people of his district.

    The Nassau County party chairman, Joseph G. Cairo Jr., said that Mr. Santos, a first-term Republican, had lost the support of Republicans in his district, saying that Mr. Santos’s campaign was one of “deceit, lies, fabrication.”

    “He’s disgraced the House of Representatives, and we do not consider him one of our congresspeople,” Mr. Cairo said at the news conference. “Today, on behalf of the Nassau County Republican Committee, I am calling for his immediate resignation.”

    Indian American IMPACT Fund celebrates Biden’s nomination of Richard Verma for Deputy Secretary of State

    WASHINGTON, D.C. (TIP): An Indian American body has welcomed the nomination of lawyer diplomat Richard Verma for Deputy Secretary of State, a top diplomatic position in the State Department.

Verma’s historic opportunity to join the State Department is the culmination of his long and illustrious career in public service.

    “We at Indian American Impact are thrilled to witness and potentially welcome the historic confirmation of yet another visionary South Asian leader,” said Neil Makhija, executive director of Indian American Impact Fund.

  • Modi arrives in Washington, DC to a warm welcome by the Indian American community

    Modi arrives in Washington, DC to a warm welcome by the Indian American community

    Sept 23 engagements include meeting with US Vice President Kamala Harris and bilateral with Japanese and Australian PMs

    TIP Special Correspondent

    WASHINGTON, DC (TIP): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, September 23, a day after his arrival here, is scheduled to have as many as eight meetings, including one with Vice President Kamala Harris, on the first working day of his current US trip. Apart from meeting Harris at the White House, the Prime minister will have two bilateral meetings with his Australian and Japanese counterparts — Scott Morrison and Yoshihide Suga.

    Prime Minister Modi was received on arrival at the Andrews airbase by Mr. T. H. Brian McKeon, Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources on behalf of the government of the USA and India’s Ambassador to the US Taranjit Singh Sandhu. A large number of Indian Americans had gathered at the airport, despite rain, to welcome Mr. Modi. Touched by the love and warmth of the Indian American community, Modi later tweeted:

    Narendra Modi

    @narendramodi

    Grateful to the Indian community in Washington DC for the warm welcome. Our diaspora is our strength. It is commendable how the Indian diaspora has distinguished itself across the world.

    7:58 PM · Sep 22, 2021·Twitter for iPhone

    Modi would kick off his day’s engagements with a series of one-on-one meetings with five top American CEOs representing diverse areas from technology, the IT sector to finance, defense and renewable energy.

    These CEO’s include Shantanu Narayen from Adobe and Vivek Lall from General Atomics, Cristiano E Amon from Qualcomm, Mark Widmar from First Solar and Stephen A Schwarzman from Blackstone.

    According to sources, these CEOs represent fairly large corporate interests, companies that have particular expertise, have invested in India and have the potential to invest significantly there.

    In the afternoon, Modi is scheduled to have a bilateral with Prime Minister Morrison of Australia. The two leaders have met in the past on a number of occasions on the sidelines of various international conferences.

    Morrison had recently called Modi to brief him about planning to go ahead with the AUKUS alliance.

    The US, Britain and Australia last week announced the AUKUS alliance for the Indo-Pacific to take on the threats of the 21st century and allow for greater sharing of defense capabilities, including help Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines, in a bid to counter China’s growing power in the strategically vital region. Morrison was to visit India in January last year which he had to postpone because of a massive fire in Australia. Another trip to India in May had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 situation. After meeting with Morrison, Modi would drive down to the White House for a meeting with Indian-origin US Vice President Kamala Harris at her ceremonial office. The maiden meeting between the two leaders has been scheduled for an hour. The two leaders are likely to talk to the press. According to sources, they are expected to talk on a range of issues that interest both sides — from the management of COVID-19 to issues like cooperation in the high tech and space sectors. Prime Minister Modi is looking forward to his first meeting with Vice President Harris, sources said. The two leaders have earlier spoken to each other over the phone during the COVID-19 crisis in June. Later in the day, the prime minister is scheduled to meet prime minister Suga of Japan. The two leaders have been speaking to each other quite frequently. On Friday, the Prime Minister would spend most of his time at the White House, first a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office with President Biden. This would be followed by the first-ever in-person Quad summit.

    In November 2017, India, Japan, the US and Australia gave shape to the long-pending proposal of setting up the Quad to develop a new strategy to keep the critical sea routes in the Indo-Pacific free of any influence.

    The prime minister will then leave for New York. He is the first speaker scheduled to address the UN General Assembly on September 25.
