Gwalior: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Sunday advocated Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) in fertiliser subsidies for farmers based on the US pattern and demanded that inflation be factored in while providing financial assistance to agriculturists, like the salaries of legislators and MPs. Addressing faculty members and students of the Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Agriculture University in Gwalior, the vice president said, “The Prime Minister has factored in inflation while revising the salaries of legislators and MPs, so why not when supporting farmers? Assistance provided to farmers must also account for inflation”. Emphasising the need for Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) in fertiliser subsidies, Dhankhar said, “In the United States, all aid provided to farmers is given directly, not through intermediaries. Just like we have the PM-KISAN scheme in India, the Indian government also spends heavily on fertiliser subsidies. “It is now a matter for both reflection and research. If the same money is transferred directly to farmers, then each farmer household in India could receive at least Rs 30,000 per year. This amount must be given directly …

(File Photo/PTI) “The more we learn about the Constitution, the more it will turn us towards nationalism. The Constitution has given us fundamental rights. But these fundamental rights should be nurtured,” Dhankhar remarked at the inauguration event of the Constitution Awareness Year celebrations in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Further, the Vice President asserted that no one, except Parliament, and in some cases, the state assemblies, can amend the Constitution. “No one else has this right, not even the judiciary. If there is need to make a definition, then the Supreme Court can keep its view on it,” he opined.

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The more we learn about the Constitution, which gives us our fundamental rights, the more we will turn towards nationalism, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said here on Saturday. Addressing the inauguration event of the Constitution Awareness Year celebrations, he also said people must think of nationalism as their biggest religion, above politics and personal interests, and perform their duties in the face of challenges. “There is a challenge before the country. By getting funds from outside, the democratic system is being made unholy. The persons of their (donors) choice is made to win polls. This is dangerous and cannot be tolerated,” the VP said in an apparent reference to the recent revelations of alleged USAID funding to raise voter turnout in India. “Awareness of our Constitution is what is of utmost need today. Our Constitution creators were ascetics who fought for the country’s Independence. They wanted to create a Constitution that would meet the expectations of all. They resolved challenges through meaningful dialogue, high level of debate and not through boycotts. They never …

Image Source : PTI Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday questioned the participation of the Chief Justice of India in the selection of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director or any executive appointment. Dhankar was speaking at the National Judicial Academy in Bhopal. “How can in a country like ours or in any democracy, by statutory prescription, Chief Justice of India participates in the selection of the CBI Director! Can there be any legal rationale for it? I can appreciate that the statutory prescription took shape because the Executive of the day has yielded to a judicial verdict. But time has come to revisit,” Dhankhar posted a video clip of his speech on X.  This surely does not merge with democracy, he said asking how can we involve Chief Justice of India with any executive appointment.  Dhankar’s statement comes ahead of a meeting to select the next Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) as current CEC Rajiv Kumar retires on February 18. Access to judiciary has been ‘weaponised’ to promote anti-national sentiments: …
