Satyendar Jain given additional charge of irrigation and flood control department

Satyender Jain

The Irrigation and Flood Control portfolio has been given to PWD Minister Satyendar Jain from senior AAP minister Gopal Rai, sources said today.

The change in Rai’s portfolio has been made to ensure coordination between the I&FC and the Delhi State Industrial Development Corporation (DSIDC), they said.

The two bodies are mandated to carry out development works in unauthorised colonies.

Rai has the portfolios of labour, employment, general administration and development departments.

In June 2016, Rai was also relieved of the charge of the transport department and it was then given to Jain.

Later, the charge of the transport department was given AAP MLA Kailash Gahlot.

RSS, AIMIM ‘two sides of the same coin’, says Congress

Alleging that the RSS and AIMIM were “two sides of the same coin”, the Congress today accused both the organisations of polarising people.

They are the two sides of the same coin. They do polarisation and run their own agendas,” Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi said.

“They are allowing a certain mentality to grow just for their own advantage,” she added.

Chaturvedi was reacting to AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi’s accusation that Muslims were being neglected under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rule.

He also asked Modi to reveal how many Muslims got government jobs, including central paramilitary forces, under him.

Chaturvedi further said that the Congress president Rahul Gandhi was more Indian than Modi and credited the Gandhi scion for raising people’s voice not only in parliament but outside it as well.

Many objectionable comments are made against him (Gandhi) but he keeps on working, she said.
