"Those Who Dance With Constitution Trampled It": PM's Law Jab At Congress
New Delhi: Targeting the Opposition and senior Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today alleged that "those who dance with the Constitution on their heads" kept oppressive laws in place for decades before he started repealing them. Addressing a government event to inaugurate two key infrastructure projects to declog Delhi roads, the Prime Minister referred to sanitation workers in the national capital. "Our safai karmacharis fulfill a major duty and we must thank them every morning. But previous governments treated them like slaves. I am telling you the truth of how those who dance with the Constitution on their heads trampled the Constitution and betrayed Babasaheb Ambedkar. You will be shocked." "For my safai karmachari brothers and sisters, there was a dangerous law in the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act. There was a clause that if a safai mitra (sanitation worker) skipped work without informing beforehand, he/she could be jailed for a month. Think about it, what did they think of safai karmacharis? You will put them in jail for a small mistake? They now talk big about social justice. They made and kept such laws. It is Modi who is weeding out these laws and repealing them," the Prime Minister said. Social justice and the Constitution are key planks Mr Gandhi has used to target the Narendra Modi government. So even though the Prime Minister did not name any specific leader, his target was apparent. This also comes amid Mr Gandhi's big offensive against the BJP and the Election Commission, alleging irregularities in voter lists. With Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on the dais, the Prime Minister said the BJP has come to power in Delhi after a long time. "The previous governments destroyed Delhi, put it in a ditch. The BJP government has to fill that ditch and then progress will be visible. But I believe this team you have elected will pull Delhi out of that situation," he said. The Prime Minister said that the BJP is now in power in Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. "This shows that the people in this region have blessed the BJP and we are working tirelessly for them. But some political parties cannot digest this. They are cut off from public trust and ground realities," he said, taking a swipe at rivals. Hitting out at the Aam Aadmi Party, which lost the Delhi election to BJP, the Prime Minister said, "Some months back, a conspiracy to create a rift between the people of Delhi and Haryana was hatched. It was even said that Haryana was poisoning Delhi's water. Delhi NCR is now free of such negative politics," he said. The Prime Minister today inaugurated a key stretch of the Urban Extension Road-II and the Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway. The projects, with a combined cost of Rs 11,000 crore, will aid the commute of people in the Delhi-NCR region and reduce congestion on the capital's roads. "When the world judges India, it first looks at our capital, Delhi. We have to make Delhi a model of a developed India. Our government has worked on this at multiple levels. In the past 11 years, travel has become easier in Delhi NCR," the Prime Minister said.

Nitish's temple tango
On the humid morning of August 8 in Sitamarhi, ritual and pomp both arrived as if by appointment. A bhoomi pujan, a foundation stone, cameras arranging the moment into the traffic of images. Nitish Kumar spoke of Sita's birthplace, with no seeming trace of irony. His words bore echoes in their womb, and they were delivered right after, by Union home minister Amit Shah. He lauded 'Nitish babu' for developing Punaura Dham, before moving on to sharper polemic—accusing political rivals of protecting alleged Bangladeshi infiltrators. With two months to go for the Bihar assembly election, the NDA's thematic duet was in full sync.

Manu Joseph: Why the poor remain unseen casualties amid India's raging dog debate
Reformers take too much credit for reform. So often, good happens when upper classes collide in self-interest but ostensibly for a good cause. As we will get to see once again when the Supreme Court decides the fate of stray dogs in the National Capital Region. Awaiting the order are two warring sides. One group of people believes that stray dogs belong on the streets, with humans, free and fed by their lovers. The other group seems to despise stray dogs but I think their real bone to pick is with dog-lovers. They want the dogs removed from the roads, and for this they have discovered a sudden and uncharacteristic love for India's poor, who are the primary victims of dog bites as they are fully exposed to Indian street life. Also Read: Indian sophistication on stray dogs can be confusing Most civilian wars in societies across the world are between these two kinds of people. Those who stand for values, who have moral clarity on the matter because they will face no consequences, and who are thus able to say all the right things, which are easy to defend on camera. And the other side that is practical, and wants to live in a convenient way and for which they know that some values need to be compromised. They cannot easily argue their moral ambiguity in public and have to deploy the plight of the poor. But what they believe in is usually what many people say privately. They want stray dogs gone but do not want to be directly responsible for that because they don't want to pay a price for it in the afterlife. The second group might well be most of India. The first makes most of the noise. Also Read: The mean streets are no happy home for stray dogs The stray dog issue has appeared in Indian courts for years, with the victories mostly going the way of stray dogs. But a few days ago, a Supreme Court bench on its own accord took up the matter of the dangers of stray dogs, especially deaths from rabies, and ruled that all strays, probably a million, in the National Capital Region must be taken off the roads and put in shelters, which do not exist today in sufficient numbers. The problem is that if stray dogs do have a right to life, then they belong on the roads. As in, they are not meant to be in shelters with hundreds of other dogs—that would be a brutally feral world. Another bench heard an appeal and, at the time of writing this piece, was yet to announce its decision. Also Read: Manu Joseph: Can anything save Indians from miserable urban lives? By the standards of conflicts in Indian middle-class society, this is one with useful consequences for the poor. Usually, Indians waste a lot of emotion on useless things, by which I mean issues that will not improve the abysmal quality of life in India. The issue is morally complex. Guardians of stray dogs deny the scale of the problem. They say the numbers of dog bites and rabies deaths are exaggerated, and that stray dogs don't attack without reason. But this is unlikely to be the view of most Indians. Dogs are a danger, especially to children, disabled and the old. Like people, they are endearing when powerless. But, at the slightest whiff of an upper hand, as in the presence of a scared child, they are beasts. Also, Indians have died from dog bites despite being administered the anti-rabies vaccine. This could be because of the inconsistent refrigeration of vaccines. So, if you are a person who has to walk home down narrow lanes, especially at night, or go on a bike, there is a real fear of death upon the sight of half a dozen dogs sitting peacefully at a road junction. It really is not about the chances of dog bite, but about the miasma of a reasonable fear. Seen this way, stray dogs don't belong on the roads. But then, seen from the point of view of dogs, they belong out in the open. To an extent, they have better lives than house pets that are locked up most of the time and whose only luxury is that they are fed well. I have seen house dogs moan in envy, perhaps, at stray dogs. Also Read: What protects us from being stabbed in our own homes? The government has failed to do the humane thing to reduce the population of strays—sterilization. In any case, sterilization works best for pets, or on a small scale, and not for a city-wide reduction of the canine population. Besides, the government can barely fix roads; we cannot expect it to do difficult things, like finding humane ways to keep the number of urban dogs down. This leaves us with inhumane solutions, like dumping them all in something that we call a 'shelter' for our own comfort. As of now, stray dogs are protected by exemplary laws. This has angered people. I feel many developed a greater anger for stray dogs chiefly because of their annoyance with the moral swag of some animal activists. Usually, when a moral idea irritates people, only politicians speak for them. So, in the past few days, politicians have raged against dogs. Some, like Rahul Gandhi, had the courage to take a political risk and say that 'voiceless souls" are 'not the problems to be erased." He said, 'Blanket removals are cruel, short-sighted, and strip us of compassion. We can ensure public safety and animal welfare go hand in hand." But there is no such solution, especially a short-term solution. In any moral debate, it would be very lazy not to factor in the incompetence of Indian local government officials. Sterilization is, therefore, just not practical. I feel that nothing will come of this issue immediately because India rarely solves its difficult problems. So the dogs are safe for now. And the core of the problem will continue—the poor will pay a price as one segment of the country's elite fight for the meaning of being human. The author is a journalist, novelist and screenwriter. His latest book is 'Why the Poor Don't Kill Us.'
