G20

As India assumes the presidency of the G20 next month, the government has called a meeting of heads of all political parties in the Rashtrapati Bhavan on December 5

New Delhi: As India assumes the presidency of the G20 next month, the government has called a meeting of heads of all political parties in the Rashtrapati Bhavan on December 5.
Sources told ANI that this meeting is going to take place at 5 pm on December 5 during which the government will brief political parties about India assuming the presidency of the G20. A letter of invitation has been sent to the presidents of all political parties to attend this particular meeting.

Sources further said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Leader of House in Rajya Sabha Piyush Goyal, and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi will be attending this meeting on behalf of the government. G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant is also expected to attend the meeting.
During this meeting, a detailed presentation will be made for the political parties for the lead-up to the G20 presidency for India and what it means for the coming year, the sources confirmed.

India will assume the presidency of the G20 for one year from December 1. With the objective of securing global economic growth and prosperity, the country will chair over 200 meetings.
As one of the biggest multilateral platforms commanding 85 percent of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and two-thirds of its population, the G20 wields significant influence, especially among the developed countries in North America and Europe. The Global South refers to the developing and less developed countries in Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

As India took over G20 Presidency for the year 2023 from Indonesia, all eyes are set on India as New Delhi would set the agenda that would create an environment of better cooperation between the global south and advanced nations as it stands non-partisan and enjoys the trust of both.

The agenda will likely be cooperation for sustainable and equitable development for shared global peace and prosperity and capacity building to face emerging global challenges.

Rajasthan CM Slammed For His Remarks Over Pilot By Congress MLA

Ashok Gehlot

Congress MLA from Rajasthan’s Baseri Assembly constituency, Khiladi Lal Bairwa, on Friday spoke out against Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot over his remark against his former deputy-turned-foe Sachin Pilot, saying his statement had hurt the sentiments of fellow Congressmen.

Jaipur (Rajasthan): Congress MLA from Rajasthan’s Baseri Assembly constituency, Khiladi Lal Bairwa, on Friday spoke out against Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot over his remark against his former deputy-turned-foe Sachin Pilot, saying his statement had hurt the sentiments of fellow Congressmen.

In an interview, the Rajasthan CM had called Pilot a ‘traitor’, adding that he can never become chief minister. Pilot, a former Union minister, later hit back at Gehlot saying that all Congress members should come together and make Rahul Gandhi’s ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ a success, instead of resorting to unfounded allegations.

Speaking to ANI on Friday, Bairwa said, “Gehlot Ji’s statement has hurt the sentiments of Congressmen. Our high command gives us the positions that we hold. Such remarks are not befitting of a chief minister.”
Gehlot, who was initially seen as the frontrunner in the race for the Congress president, withdrew from the contest after refusing to give up their chief ministership of Rajasthan.

The same was seen as a departure from the high command’s line of ‘one person, one post’ and defiance of the top leadership’s efforts to install Pilot as the next CM.
Invoking the sequence of events leading up to the polls to elect the Congress president, Bairwa added, “Sachin Pilot has never challenged the high command. Everyone needs to work together.”
Octogenarian Dalit leader Mallikarjun Kharge was eventually elected as the Congress national president after trouncing his challenger and fellow MP Shashi Tharoor in the polls.

Also responding to Gehlot’s remark, state minister Rajendra Singh Gudha claimed 80 percent of the MLAs were with Sachin Pilot and “there was no better politician than him”.
The state minister also demanded a meeting of Congress MLAs to prove his claim.
CM Gehlot and Pilot have had several run-ins since a rebellion by the latter, with the support of his loyalist MLAs, was thwarted.

The Rajasthan CM had previously gone on record to label his former deputy as ‘nikamma’ and ‘nakara’ (useless).

Responding to his latest statement, Pilott told ANI, “Ashok Gehlot is a senior and experienced leader and I don’t know who is advising him to level such false, baseless allegations against me. The need of the hour is to strengthen the party instead of resorting to name-calling against one another.”
In a dig at the Rajasthan CM, Pilot further said Congress had suffered heavy defeats in Rajasthan when Gehlot was the party’s state chief.

“The BJP was soundly defeated in Rajasthan when I was the Congress state president. Still, the high command kept faith in Gehlot ji and gave him another chance to be CM. The priority, now, should be to put up a united front and do whatever we can to help the Congress win the next Assembly elections in Rajasthan,” Pilot said.

Congress general secretary in charge of Communications, Jairam Ramesh, also condemned CM Gehlot’s remark, saying all the differences should be resolved in a manner that strengthens the Congress.
“Ashok Gehlot is a senior and experienced political leader. Whatever differences he has expressed with his young Rer colleague Sachin Pilot should be resolved in a manner that strengthens the Congress,” Ramesh said.
