AMIT SHAH IN JAIPUR

...TO LAUNCH
MISSION
2023!
ALL EYES ARE ON
SHAH’S RESPONSE
TO VASUNDHARA
KAVITA PANT

T
he Saffron Party’s mastermind
strategist (Chanakya), the game
changer and the powerful Union
Home Minister Amit Shah’s De-
cember 5 Jaipur visit basically
aims to boost the morale of a de-
moralised state BJP (especially
after its humiliating defeat in recent two As-
sembly by-elections) and to launch a highly
‘hopeful’ Mission 2023 to bring back the party
to power in Rajasthan.
However, all ‘anxious’ eyes will be on the tow-
ering man Shah’s response to a ‘waiting’ and a
crowd puller Vasundhara Raje to indicate her
exact role in the upcoming Assembly polls. So
far, in party circles (and not in public), she has
been perceived as a side-lined or ignored leader
by the party high command, though the ground
realities may certainly be a bit different. In a
recent internal survey held by the party,
Vasundhara again emerged as the tallest and
popular leader among all ‘alternatives’, being
worked out by high command so far.
According to sources, though she may not
be the first choice of the party high command,
but if the situation warrants and Madam
draws large crowds in her pre-poll public meet-
ings, then the party, after having a careful as-
sessment, will not hesitate to backtrack and
bring back Vasundhara on the forefront, just
to ensure the likely comeback of one more BJP
state government in the country. One thing is
certain, without properly ‘settling’ (with or
without CM post) Vasundhara factor, there is
no guarantee for a BJP comeback in State As-
sembly, because in case of a ‘divided house’, a
three-time Congress Chief Minister and a tow-
ering leader Ashok Gehlot, who is extremely
confident of his fourth tenure, will have a
smooth sailing in 2023 polls. Turn to P8

jaz Patel joined a se-

by grabbing all ten
wickets in India’s first
innings in the second
Test at Mumbai’s Wankhede sta-
dium. He became only the third
bowler to achieve this feat after
England’s Jim Laker and India’s
Anil Kumble. However, he is the
first bowler of a touring side to
have proved so lethal. Not that it
helped New Zealand as they
were bowled out for their lowest
score against India in their first
innings. But Mumbai-born Pa-
tel’s performance still shone
through his side’s dismal batting
collapse. Patel deservedly got a
standing ovation from the
Wankhede spectators as he led
his side to the pavilion.
He is only the second cricket-
er to have played against India
in his city of birth afterDouglas
Jardine.
For thousands of spectators it
must be a memory to cherish.
Now New Zealand has to ensure
that Patel’s efforts do not go in
vain. It’s tough though.

India has also updated its
nationally determined
contributions, which it must
fulfill by 2030. The country
is now pledging to increase
its installed renewable-
energy capacity to 500
gigawatts, and meet 50% of
its energy requirements
from non-fossil-fuel sources
ndia has somehow emerged
as the villain of last month’s
United Nations Climate
Change Conference (COP26),
blamed for resisting cuts to
coal consumption even as
toxic air envelops its capital,
New Delhi. The country’s
supposed crime in Glasgow
was to join China in insisting
on a last-minute change to
the conference’s final decla-
ration, in which countries
pledged to “phase down”
rather than “phase out” coal.
For that, India, whose per
capita carbon-dioxide emis-
sions are a fraction of those
of the world’s leading emit-
ters, was widely criticized for
obstructing the global fight
against climate change.
The irony is that India has
done far less to intensify the
planet’s greenhouse effect
than either China or the de-
veloped West. True, the coun-
try is a major coal consumer,
and derives about 70% of its
energy from it.
But, as recently as 2015, at
least a quarter of India’s pop-
ulation couldn’t take for
granted what almost every-
one in the developed world
can: to flick a switch on a wall
which hovers between “se-
vere” and “hazardous” for
much of the year.
The causes include PM2.5
particles emitted from coal-
fired power plants, fumes
from dense traffic, industrial
pollution, and the burning of
crop stubble by farmers in
neighboring states – all com-
bined with winter fog.
But given India’s tradition-
al role as a leading voice of
the developing world, it be-
came the face of the last-min-
ute change of language at
COP26. The “phase down”
wording regarding coal con-
sumption had already ap-
peared in a US-China bilat-
eral climate agreement
signed earlier in the confer-
ence. Nevertheless, India be-
came the focus of global op-
probrium. India does not de-
serve to be the fall guy. For
starters, the country has 17%
of the world’s population but
generates only 7% of global
CO2 emissions. (China, with
18.5% of the world’s people,
generates 27% of emissions,
and the US, with less than 5%
of the world’s population, ac-
counts for 15%.) Whereas
wasteful consumption and
have done little to help
developing countries’
green transition. India will
make a good-faith effort to
help avert climate
disaster, but only within
the limits of what it
can feasibly do
unsustainable energy-guz-
zling are rife in the West,
most Indians live close to the
subsistence level, and many
have no access to energy. To
expect India to meet the tar-
gets that rich countries cur-
rently tout is unfair and im-
practical. Economic develop-
ment – indispensable to pull-
ing millions of Indians out of
poverty – requires energy.
Coal may be polluting, but it
is not feasible for any devel-
oping country to switch rap-
idly to cleaner alternatives
that need scaling up.
Moreover, despite having
vast financial resources and
access to cleaner fossil fuels
such as natural gas (which
India must import), Western
countries have done little to
