Madan Rathore has been appointed as president of Rajasthan BJP after the resignation of CP Joshi was accepted. BJP has appointed a new president Madan Rathore in Rajasthan. Rajya Sabha MP Madan Rathore (70) is close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The appointment of Madan Rathore is being considered an attempt to woo the original OBC category. Rathore was elected Rajya Sabha MP only about five months ago. He has been MLA from Sumerpur Vis seat twice and was also the Government Deputy Chief Whip in the previous BJP government.
In 2023 Madan Rathore filed the nomination as an independent candidate after the BJP refused to give him the ticket. Later Rathore withdrew the nomination. It was claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had called Rathore to withdraw his nomination. Just two and a half months after the assembly elections, the party honoured him and declared him a Rajya Sabha candidate and he became a Rajya Sabha MP. Moreover, he has also been very active in the Sangh.
CP Joshi had offered to step down from the post of state president after the assembly elections and just before the Lok Sabha elections. After the state elections, since the CM and the State President belong to the same caste. Hence there was a discussion going on for a long time as to who should be appointed to the post of President.
Madan Rathore expressed his gratitude
Newly appointed state president Madan Rathore said that I am very grateful to the party. I have no words to express my gratitude. Party have so much faith in a small person. I will try my best to live up to the expectations of the party’s high command.
BJP national general secretary Radha Mohan Das Agarwal has been appointed as the new in-charge of Rajasthan BJP. The post of in-charge has been lying vacant since the state elections. Aggarwal is also a Rajya Sabha MP and had left his seat in UP for CM Yogi Adityanath. Aggarwal has been MLA from Gorakhpur seat five times. Vijaya Rahatkar will continue in the post of co-in-charge.

Maya OS may now be installed on every computer in India to prevent CrowdStrike and other problems that may arise in future. Cyber experts in the country say that the way Crowdstrike created an outcry in the entire world. Due to this, preparations have started in India to bring the entire industry on their self-made operating system.
What is Maya OS?
Maya OS is an operating system developed specifically for the Indian Defence Ministry. It was implemented in August 2023 and is based on the Ubuntu Linux distribution, which is known for its security features. Here’s a quick rundown of Maya OS:
Developed by: Indian government agencies including DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation), C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) and NIC (National Informatics Centre)
Based on: Ubuntu Linux
Focus: Security and Reliability
Key features:
Designed to be more resistant to cyberattacks compared to Windows or macOS
Uses full disk encryption, intrusion detection and sandboxing for enhanced security
Rigorously tested for stability
Locally developed, reducing dependence on foreign software
Maya OS is currently being used by the Indian Defence Ministry and is planned for adoption by the Army, Navy and Air Force. The user interface is designed to be similar to Windows, making it easier for users to switch over.
Why Maya OS is under consideration
Two days ago, due to a Microsoft Cloud outage, almost 70% of the internet-based systems of the world came to a complete standstill. This happened due to a software update from Microsoft. Due to this crowd strike there was a loss of hundreds of billions of dollars in the entire world. Moreover, everything was stopped in a large part of the entire world. According to IT and cyber experts, 70% of the operating systems in the modern world are still from Microsoft.
In such a situation, the discussion has now started on whether different countries of the world will launch their operating systems. Indigenous operating system Maya OS has already been launched in India. Although it has not yet become fully popular among the people. According to experts, this is the right time to launch our operating system.
Cyber experts opinion
Cyber experts in the country say that the way Crowdstrike created an outcry in the entire world. Due to this, preparations have started in India to bring the entire industry on their self-made operating system.
Himanshu Sharma, a software engineer working in New York, America, says that the maximum dependence in the whole world is still on Microsoft’s operating system. Almost 70% of the computers in the world still have Microsoft operating systems. Whereas about 20% use the iOS or Mac operating system. Whereas countries like China and Russia mostly use their self-made operating systems. Himanshu says that different countries of the world are still completely dependent on the American operating system. If this dependency is switched to indigenous operating systems, a major “digital tsunami” like the Crowdstrike that happened on July 19 can be avoided.
Software engineer and cyber expert Deenbandhu Verma says that India has its own “Maya” operating software. He says that this is a software which has been designed with many types of security layers. It has antimalware and antivirus software, which also creates a strong security layer between netizens and the internet. In such a situation, the possibility of any kind of breach in this operating system or any major cloud outage becomes equal to zero. Cyber experts suggest replacing Microsoft with Maya OS at regular intervals in our country. Following the recent crowd strike incident it would be a significant step towards enhancing cybersecurity in the future.
Preparation to launch Maya OS
Now it is estimated that after the “digital tsunami” that occurred on July 19, readiness will be shown to advance its indigenous operating system, Maya. If officials associated with the Central Government are to be believed, discussions have taken place on a large scale in this direction. It is believed that if everything progresses in an orderly manner, it will be taken forward in the coming days. Besides, there is also talk of starting work on a large scale towards developing some other operating systems.
Cyber expert Devesh Dhawan says that the only country that has survived completely in this entire devastation is Russia. Dhawan says that due to various restrictions, neither Russians can use Microsoft cloud services nor can Russian commercial and intelligence equipment be accessed through American operating systems. Furthermore, in such circumstances, Russia saved itself from such a big digital tsunami by developing its operating system. Moreover, Devesh Dhawan believes that it can create bad situations like an epidemic of major cyber attacks in the coming days. Therefore, it is better that we have to strengthen our systems from now on to avoid any such major cyber attack.
Ashish Singh, a cyber expert working in a multinational company in Bengaluru, says that there is a need to replace traditional operating systems. Maya OS is the best option. He says that Maya OS has not yet been taken forward that much. He believes that there may be some technical level problems in the initial phase. But when it is started in a phased manner, it will be able to replace the Microsoft operating system.
India has already Indigenous operating systems
We already have the operating system ready. There is only a need to implement it rapidly and systematically in the country. Cyber expert Anand Sachan says that India not only has the Maya OS. But earlier BOSS (Bharat Operating System Solution) was also developed. This operating system developed in 2021 was implemented in the initial phase, but then it could not be taken forward. But launched with the new Maya OS in mid-2023. According to cyber experts, its results have also been positive.
Devesh Dhawan states that if the central government takes this matter seriously, any future cyber attacks can be avoided. He says that not only did Russia save itself from this big attack on July 19, but China also saved its existing systems by using its operating system. He believes that after this incident, all those capable countries will move forward. They will implement their operating systems. Countries will implement those that have their operating systems. Those countries that are on the verge of developing their systems may consider.

The Chief Minister said that the state government will provide free land for the development and expansion of Udaipur Airport. Moreover, the govt. will provide the permanent civil enclave and approach road at Uttarlai (Barmer) Airport.
Kota Junction will soon be a stoppage for the Vande Bharat train as the Vande Bharat from Udaipur to Agra will make a stop here. From September 1, the Udaipur-Jaipur-Udaipur Vande Bharat train will now come to Jaipur only three days a week. The reason is that now it will be operated between Udaipur and Agra Fort for the remaining three days. The reason for reducing days is said to be less passenger load between Udaipur and Jaipur.
Actually, in September last year, Railways gifted the third Vande Bharat train to Rajasthan between Udaipur and Jaipur, but the passenger load in it was less. Hence, Vande Bharat will run only three days on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday from the 1st of September. Now it is operating six days a week between Jaipur and Udaipur.
When will Vande Bharat stop at Kota Junction?
Vande Bharat will start operating from the 1st of September between Udaipur and Agra Fort. Vande Bharat will be operated from Udaipur to Agra Fort via Rana Pratapnagar, Mavli Junction, Chanderiya, Kota Junction, Sawai Madhopur, Gangapur City, Bayana for three days on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.
According to the officials, the route and timetable of this train have been decided. Soon the fare list will also be released and ticket booking will also be started. The special thing is that it will operate from different numbers on both routes. According to the proposed timetable, this train will depart from Udaipur at 5:45 am and reach Agra at 2:30 pm. After stopping at Agra for half an hour, it will leave at 3 pm and reach Udaipur at 11:45 pm. The stoppage time of Vande Bharat at Kota junction is still not known. Approximately it will be around 10 Am towards Agra and in between 7-8 Pm towards Udaipur.
Proposed Kota – Delhi Vande Bharat train
Vande Bharat train from Kota Junction will also run soon. After the completion of the redevelopment work, passengers will get the best rail facilities at Kota and Dakania stations. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said this while inaugurating the new train service from Kota Junction to Ahmedabad on Friday evening on the 3rd of March 2023. He said we are also making efforts for the Vande Bharat train from Kota Junction to Delhi. Hope it may start soon.

Aviation Minister Shri Kinjrapu Rammohan Naidu has announced the implementation of a uniform IGST rate of 5% on all aircraft and aircraft engine parts. This will be effective from today,15th July 2024. This decision represents a major milestone for the domestic Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) industry. It intends to establish India as a global aviation hub.
Commenting on this development, Shri Naidu said, “The introduction of a uniform 5% IGST rate on MRO items is a major boost for the aviation sector.” Previously, the varied GST rates of 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28% on aircraft components created challenges. The varied taxes include an inverted duty structure and GST accumulation in MRO accounts. This new policy removes inequalities, simplifies the tax system, and promotes growth in the MRO industry.
The Union Minister emphasized Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s visionary leadership in making the Atma Nirbhar Bharat initiative possible. PM’s support has been crucial in driving forward the policy to transform India into a leading aviation hub.
The Union Minister praised the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Ministry of Finance, and other stakeholders for their diligent work. This helped in achieving the policy change recommended by the GST Council during its 53rd meeting on June 22, 2024. The new uniform 5% IGST rate is designed to lower operational costs, address tax credit issues, and attract investment.
Target for the Aviation Industry
Shri Rammohan Naidu highlighted the prospects, saying, “Our vision is to turn India into a leading aviation hub.” Moreover, the Indian MRO industry is projected to reach a value of $4 billion by the year 2030. Furthermore, this policy change is a crucial step toward establishing a robust MRO services ecosystem, fostering innovation, and ensuring sustainable growth.
The ministry is confident that this action will greatly improve the competitiveness of the Indian MRO sector. It will also encourage innovation and efficiency, and establish a strong and effective aviation industry.

Trump survives an assassination attempt during an election campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Former US President Donald Trump was shot at an election rally. The possible assassination attempt came just a day before the Republican Party was to begin its convention to declare him its candidate for the White House formally.
Trump touched the right side of his face after the first two shots and fell to the ground. Secret Service agents pounce on them to save him. When he woke up, the agents took him inside to protect his body.
Blood flowing on the face of Trump
Blood was seen flowing from the right side of the former President’s face. When he was led away, he raised his fist in the air. Afterwards, he was taken to a local medical facility for treatment. Former President Trump said in a post on Truth Social after being kicked off Twitter: “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.” Truth Social is a media platform owned by Trump Media & Technology Group.
He wrote, I immediately knew that something was wrong. I heard a loud noise and a shot was fired, and immediately felt the bullet go through the skin. There was a lot of bleeding, so I realized what was happening.
The assailant was killed
Local officials said the assailant had been armed with a rifle and had fired from an elevated structure a few hundred metres away outside the rally site. The suspect was shot dead at the scene by US Secret Service officers. One person in the audience also died. Another person was seriously injured. The Secret Service said in a statement: At approximately 6:15 p.m. on July 13, during former President Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a suspected shooter fired multiple shots toward the stage from an elevated position outside the rally site. US Secret Service personnel killed the shooter, who is now dead. Moreover, the FBI statement mentioned that the incident is currently under “active and ongoing investigation”.
The FBI has identified the suspect who shot at former US President Donald Trump as Thomas Matthew Crooks. He is a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
Government companies will not be sold to private companies and industrialists (privatization). Instead of selling PSU, the central government will take measures to improve their profits and earn revenue from these companies.
According to media reports, the central government is now preparing to put the privatization program on hold. Previously, the Modi government had made an ambitious plan to privatise government companies. It was believed that the government could forward rapidly privatisation in the third term. But now the government has indicated to withdraw from this scheme.
Plan for government companies
As per the report from government sources, the government is working on a plan to improve the profits of more than 200 government companies. According to sources, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman may announce a new scheme in the general budget to be presented on July 23. This includes selling a large portion of unused land held by companies and monetization of other assets.
Its objective is to raise $24 billion i.e. about Rs 2 lakh crore in the current financial year 2024-24. Moreover, this amount will be re-invested in PSU. Under the new scheme, instead of short-term targets, 5-year performance and production targets can be set for each government company. An official said the government is now shifting its focus from indiscriminate asset sales to enhancing the intrinsic value of PSU.
According to the plan announced in the year 2021, two banks, an insurance company and a PSU in the steel, energy and pharmaceutical sectors were to be sold. Also, loss-making companies were to be closed. However, the government was successful in selling only debt-ridden Air India to the Tata Group. Therefore, the government had to withdraw plans to sell some other companies. Only 3.5% of LIC’s stake has been sold. Moreover, shares of some other companies have been sold. Now the central government also wants to start a succession plan in its majority-owned companies. Besides, there is also a proposal to provide training to 2.30 lakh managers. Moreover, these managers will be prepared for senior roles in these companies.
