Reason for less votes in Lok Sabha

Chambal River Dam
The Chambal River, a major tributary of the Yamuna River in India, has several dams and reservoirs constructed along its course for irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control. The most prominent dams on the Chambal River are part of the Chambal Valley Development Project, which was undertaken by the Indian states of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. These include:
1. Gandhisagar Dam
Location: Madhya Pradesh (near Mandsaur)
Purpose: This is the first dam built on the Chambal River, primarily for hydroelectric power generation and irrigation.
Reservoir: Gandhisagar Lake
Height: 62.17 meters
Capacity: Around 7.32 billion cubic meters.
2. Rana Pratap Sagar Dam
Location: Rajasthan (near Rawatbhata)
Purpose: This dam generates hydroelectricity and provides irrigation facilities.
Reservoir: Rana Pratap Sagar Lake
Height: 54 meters

These Chambal River dams have created a chain of reservoirs along the Chambal River. Moreover, they are providing substantial benefits in terms of water resources management for agriculture and power generation. However, they have also affected the river’s ecosystem, especially impacting the habitats of species like the Gharial (a type of crocodile) and freshwater dolphins.
Vikramaditya faced embarrassment imitating the policies and orders of Yogi Adityanath regarding displaying owners’ names in food establishments. A day after a meeting chaired by Himachal Pradesh Urban Development Minister Vikramaditya Singh directed fast food, hawkers and dhaba owners to put up nameplates and display identity outside their shops, the Sukhu government took a U-turn. The government said on Thursday that no decision has been taken so far.
Congress’ Himachal Pradesh in-charge Rajiv Shukla said today, “Yesterday I spoke to Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. A committee has been formed under the chairmanship of Parliamentary Affairs Minister Harsh Vardhan Chauhan to consider the street vendors policy. It says that whoever sets up his cart at different places to sell his goods should be licensed. He should be controlled so that the police cannot chase him away. Whoever has been given a place, should sit there. For this, an Aadhar card will be required as a document. There is nothing like this that he will have to put up a board at his shop for this. The provision in this policy is that the hawkers should only be designated and controlled. This will reduce encroachment. Himachal is a hilly area. This will also prevent traffic jams here.”
Vikramaditya taken u-turn
In response to the question of whether the decision on this issue will remain intact or will be withdrawn. Minister Vikramaditya Singh said that an all-party committee has been formed on this subject, which also includes BJP MLAs. He reiterated that anyone can come to Himachal and get employment. But it is the responsibility of our government to take care of the interests of the people of the state.
Vikramaditya further said that the Himachal Pradesh High Court has directed to form a committee based on the Act. An all-party body has been formed to decide how to proceed on this, which includes people from all parties including Congress, BJP, CPI and CPI(M).
Earlier, Vikramaditya Singh had said that it is our responsibility to maintain peace in Himachal Pradesh. Outsiders are welcome here, but it is our responsibility to maintain the internal security, law and order and cleanliness of the state. For this, identification of food vendors will be done. Furthermore, it has nothing to do with the decision of the Yogi Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh.
Yogi Adityanath ordered to display of names.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has taken a tough stand on the incidents of mixing human waste in food items. Furthermore, he has now made it mandatory to write the name and address of the operator and manager of the food centres in UP. Police verification of every employee of dhabas and restaurants should also be done. Strict action will be taken against those who mix human waste in food items like juice, dal and roti. For this, amendments will also be made to the Food Safety and Standards Act.
During the review meeting of the Food Safety and Drug Administration Department on Tuesday CM Yogi Adityanath took these decisions. The Chief Minister directed that strict action should be taken against those who adulterate food items with dirty things. Moreover, he directed that CCTV arrangements should be made mandatory in food establishments like dhabas, hotels, restaurants etc. Other parts of the establishment including the place where customers sit should also be covered with CCTV cameras. It should be ensured that every establishment operator will keep the CCTV feed safe. Furthermore, they should make it available to the police/local administration if required. Furthermore, there should be cleanliness at food centres. It should be ensured that the concerned person uses a mask/gloves while preparing and serving food items. Moreover, there should be no negligence in this.
Yogi Adityanath said that in recent times, incidents of adulteration of food items like juice, dal and roti with human waste, inedible and dirty things have been seen in various parts of the country. Such incidents will not be tolerated at all. These decisions were imitated by Vikramaditya. Now probably on the instructions of Congress’s high command Vikramaditya has to take a u-turn.
Shubhankar Sarkar is now appointed as the state Congress President of West Bengal after removing Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary. Thus the possibilities of changing the political equation of Congress in the state are also being expressed. Moreover, Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary is a staunch opponent of Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee. Unlike Adhir Choudhary, Subhankar Sarkar has been in favour of allying with the state’s ruling Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Because of this, there are chances of Congress once again getting closer to Trinamool Congress in Bengal.
The Congress high command, including Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, is in favour of building better relations with Mamata Banerjee. It is to maintain the unity of the opposition alliance formed against the BJP at the Centre. But, Adhir Chaudhary continued to oppose Trinamool after the 2011 Bengal Assembly elections. He continued to oppose Trinamool citing the intention of breaking the Congress and marginalizing the Congress in the state politics. Also, in opposition to Trinamool, he once contested the elections in alliance with Congress’ staunch opponent CPI(M) led Left Front, but Congress did not get any political benefit in Bengal.
Shubhankar Sarkar can adopt the 2011 policy
In 2001 and 2011, the Congress got political benefits in Bengal by contesting the assembly elections in alliance with the Trinamool Congress. But Mamata Banerjee broke the Congress and weakened it considerably after 2011. Now Congress is once again attempting to revitalize its party organization in Bengal with the assistance of Mamata Banerjee, following the 2011 policy. It is assumed that the Congress will be benefited by staying with Trinamool.
Shubhankar Sarkar is close to Rahul Gandhi. Moreover, he is one of the two people included in Rahul’s youth brigade from West Bengal. According to sources, Shubhankar has been appointed as the state president to lead the Congress in Bengal based on the policies of Rahul Gandhi.
A senior party leader said that Shubhankar Sarkar was in charge of other northeastern states including Meghalaya and Arunachal. Moreover, he demonstrated better management in Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in the Northeast. While leading Karnataka, he demonstrated superior political skills during the assembly elections there. Furthermore, Rahul Gandhi is seeing more potential in Subhanker Sarkar.

It is believed that Lord Devnarayan arrived in Deomali from the Aravalli mountain range in Vikram Samvat 999. On his arrival, the mountains and stones of the village and the surrounding area bowed to one side and welcomed him. All the mountains and stones of the village appear to be inclined towards the west.
There is a belief among the villagers regarding Lord Devnarayan in Deomali that when Bhagwan Devnarayan visits the temple, it rains saffron in the temple premises as well as in the village. Due to this, yellow spots are often seen on clothes and vehicles.
This is also special in the village
There is a water channel by the name of Beela Beeli located in Deomali village. Furthermore, Villagers say that leprosy can be cured by merely bathing in its water.
The promises and rules made here are strictly followed even today in Deomali Village. The family that does not follow these rules has to suffer huge losses.
