This week, once again, there are reports on Rahul Gandhi taking over the Congress leadership. He is 45 and has been in ac-tive politics for a decade. It is natural that his sup-porters in the party should want him to take over of-ficially. What is less clear is why his mother Sonia Gandhi should make way for him. There are two things that are thought to be the reason for seeking the change. First, that it is inevitable that at some point the older must make way for the younger.

The much-awaited south-west monsoon is expect-ed to hit the Kerala coast in next two days. How-ever, there is going to be “no significant” change in the temperatures in northwest India for the next five days, which is reeling under intense heat. “Conditions contin-ue to remain favourable for the onset of southwest monsoon over Kerala in next 48 hours,” the India Meteorological Depart-ment (IMD) said today. The weather department had earlier said that mon-soon should hit the Ker-ala coast on June 7, with an error margin of plus

makes sense for her heir to be anointed, which he has been, and then for him to take over. The second, less transparent reason, is that she has been keeping indifferent health. It has been reported in the past that Sonia has required

some sort of medical treat-ment abroad. The details have not been revealed but the condition was seri-ous enough for her to seek advanced help. Could this be the reason for the fresh move to elevate her son? Probably not, because the

last time she was treated abroad was not recent and current pictures show her to be in reasonably good health. Why then the rush to elevate Rahul? One rea-son could be internal pres-sure. Congressmen who are alarmed at the rapid decay of the party want to see some change in di-rection. Unless something drastic and dramatic is not done, the party will die very soon. The Congress has fallen from about 200 seats to about 45. The 150 Congressmen and women who are not in the Lok Sabha will each have spent a few crores in a los-ing election.

last breath. As arguments over the quantum of sen-tence that lasted for over two-and-a-half hours re-mained inconclusive, the special SIT court judge P B Desai adjourned fur-ther hearing in the case to Thursday. The court had on Friday convicted 24

and acquitted 36 others, while dropping conspira-cy charges in the killings of 69 persons including former Congress MP Esh-an Jafri in Gulberg hous-ing society on February 29, 2002 in post-Godhra riots when Narendra Modi was Gujarat Chief

Minister. The massacre shook the nation when a mob of 400 people set about attacking the hous-ing society in the heart of Ahmedabad and killed the residents. It was one of the nine cases of the 2002 Gu-jarat riots probed by the Supreme Court-appointed

SIT. Out of the total 66 ac-cused, six died during the trial. Of the 24 convict-ed, 11 have been charged with murder, while 13 oth-ers including VHP leader Atul Vaidya have been convicted for lesser of-fences. Public prosecutor representing the Supreme Court- appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT), R C Kodekar in his ar-guments before the court said as per section 149 IPC all those who are convict-

ed should be given maxi-mum punishment which is capital punishment. “If capital punishment is not considered, they should be sent to jail till they live,” he said. Section 149 of the IPC reads, “If an offence is committed by any member of an un-lawful assembly in pros-ecution of the common object of that assembly, or such as the members of that assembly knew to be likely to be committed

in prosecution of that ob-ject, every person who, at the time of the committing of that offence, is a mem-ber of the same assembly, is guilty of that offence.” “The manner of crime was cruel, barbaric and inhuman. Victims’ bod-ies were roasted alive, in the crime for which there was no provocation, much less in case of women and children who were de-fenceless,” Kodekar told the court.

QUOTE OF THE

DAYEknath Khadse’s fall, it inflicts political damage on the party too..?

In resigning from the Maharashtra cabinet, Eknath Khadse has done the honourable thing. Now the onus is on the state government to probe the allegations against Khadse and indict or exonerate him, based on the findings. Over the past few weeks, Khadse, once a chief ministerial aspirant, and then the de-facto No.2 in the Maharashtra government, has witnessed a pre-cipitous fall in his fortunes. An ethical hacker who ac-cessed Pakistani telecom servers alleged that Khadse’s phone number figured multiple times in the call detail records of gangster Dawood Ibrahim’s wife. Khadse claimed that he was not using that number. Then an aide, Gajanan Patel, was arrested for allegedly de-manding a Rs30 crore bribe to transfer ownership of a plot of land in Thane. The last straw was the revela-tion that Khadse’s wife and son-in-law had purchased a three-acre plot near Pune for Rs3.75 crore when the market rate was nearly Rs31 crore. Soon the indus-tries ministry questioned this land deal claiming that the plot was acquired by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation. Along the way, a number of other acts by Khadse as revenue minister revealed his overt interest in that land deal. The charges against Khadse are very serious and there was no way the central leadership could have overlooked the allega-tions, unlike those made against Sushma Swaraj or Vasundhara Raje. It involved corruption, impropriety, conflict of interest, and connections with an under-world figure. The BJP had stormed to power in Maha-rashtra after the Congress-NCP combine found itself enmeshed in a string of corruption scandals. Along-side economic growth and creating jobs, a tough stance on anti-corruption continues to be among Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s primary slogans. It was easier for the Prime Minister to support Swaraj and Raje because the charges against them were rel-atively minor and were restricted to conflict of inter-est and impropriety. There was no evidence that they had benefitted from their alleged links to Lalit Modi. But in Khadse’s case, the link between his revenue ministry and the shady land deals of his inner circle was too blatant to be condoned. By forcing Khadse to quit promptly, the BJP can also blunt the attacks it has faced from ally, Shiv Sena, and the opposition parties. Khadse’s exit was also necessary because of the crucial portfolios he held. The state is in the grip of drought conditions and an embattled agriculture minister can hardly be expected to provide a reprieve to farmers or the rural populace.
