<p><strong>Delhi Chief Minister:</strong> After a landslide victory, the BJP is engaged in internal deliberations regarding Delhi&#8217;s new Chief Minister. Along with veteran faces, two prominent figures with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) backgrounds are now also in the running. Sources say that if there is no need to balance other caste, social, and regional equations, and if the Sangh lobbies for them, these individuals could outweigh other contenders.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">These Two Faces Emerge as Front-Runners</h2>



<p>These include Pawan Sharma, who won from Uttam Nagar, a former Sangh pracharak and former Delhi state organisation general secretary. Rajkumar Bhatia, who won from Adarsh Nagar, has worked with the ABVP and represents the Punjabi community. Jitendra Mahajan , who won from Rohini, represents both the Punjabi community and the Vaishya community. However, his identity remains outside the Sangh Parivar. The decision regarding the CM is likely to be made only after Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from his foreign tour. Modi is expected back on 14 February.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Grand Swearing-in Ceremony Planned</h2>



<p>The BJP won 48 seats in the 70-member assembly, limiting AAP to 22 seats. BJP sources have stated that the swearing-in ceremony of the new Chief Minister is likely to be held after the Prime Minister returns from his foreign tour. Sources said that to mark the party&#8217;s return to power in the capital after 27 years, the BJP will organise a grand swearing-in ceremony. Chief Ministers from all NDA-ruled states are likely to be invited to the ceremony.</p>

YouTube show controversy: Rajput community joins fight, Karni Sena plans big move


<p>Jaipur News: Following a controversy surrounding a YouTube show featuring obscenity and alleged disrespect towards Indian culture, outrage has erupted across the nation. The show involved YouTubers Saumya Raina, Ranvīr Allahanadia, Apurva Makhijā, and Ashīsh Chanchalānī, who are accused of performing obscene acts and making derogatory comments about Indian culture. The situation has taken a new turn with the Rajput community, and specifically the Karṇī Sena, preparing a strong response.</p>



<p>Karni Sena officials state that these YouTubers have misled the younger generation and made inappropriate comments targeting parents. This has caused widespread anger within the Rashtriya Karṇī Sena. The national president and national in-charge of the Rashtriya Karṇī Sena have organised a meeting to plan their response.</p>



<p>Karni Sena believes that national pride and parents are not subjects of ridicule. They demand strict action against those making such offensive comments. Vishnu Pratap Singh, spokesperson for the Rashtriya Karṇī Sena, stated that these YouTubers have insulted Indian culture and misguided the youth. He asserted that the National Karni Sena will always speak against such individuals. This incident has reignited the debate on obscenity and cultural disrespect on YouTube, with many demanding action against these YouTubers.</p>

Maha Kumbh Special Trains: A Train Every Four Minutes to Prevent Crowding


<p><strong>Maha Kumbh Special Train:</strong> Amidst the rush at railway stations to reach the Mahakumbh, the railways have appealed to devotees to exercise restraint. On Monday, a team comprising ADRM Rashmi Diwakar, Senior DCM Saurabh Kataria, and DCM Navel Agrawal, provided information about the arrangements being made by the railways. The railways clarified that only Prayagraj Sangam station is closed two days before and two days after any Amrit Snan; therefore, there is no need to pay attention to any rumours. From all stations of the Bhopal railway division, Mahakumbh special trains are being operated, through which 1.25 million passengers have travelled so far.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Facility to reach the ghats</strong></h2>



<p>From all stations of the division, a train is running every 4 minutes to ensure that devotees do not have to wait to take a holy bath. At one time, a special train (Mahakumbh Special Train) carries 3780 passengers from Bhopal and nearby stations.</p>



<p>At stations like Prayagraj Junction, Chheoki, Naini, Subedarganj, Prayag, Phaphamau, Rambag, and Jhūnsī, passengers are being provided with facilities to reach the ghats for the holy bath. Passengers can use the railway helpline 139 and online facilities for more information.</p>

Indore tops cleanliness rankings again, some states object; top 10 cities to compete separately


<p>Cleanest City of India: Indore&#8217;s consistent top ranking for seven consecutive years in the cleanliness rankings is causing displeasure among several states. Instead of striving for parity, they are objecting to Indore&#8217;s award. Considering these objections, the central government is planning to introduce separate cleanliness rankings for cities consistently ranking within the top 10 or top 20. The rankings for the remaining cities will continue as before. The deadline for this is 31 March.</p>



<p>The deadline may be extended if necessary. This was stated by the Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal Khattar. He was in Bhopal on Sunday to highlight the benefits of the Union Budget. The minister said that the new provisions for ranking will boost the morale of cities lagging behind despite making good efforts. The Chief Minister, Dr. Mohan Yadav, was also present on this occasion.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gujarat Achieves Parity</h2>



<p>Unlike those objecting to Indore&#8217;s ranking, many states are innovating to achieve parity. Last time, Gujarat did this. As a result, Surat also received the first prize jointly with Indore.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Centre May Implement These Changes in Cleanliness Ranking Competition</h2>



<ul>
<li>An official from the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs stated that separate competitions could be held between Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3 cities. The budget allocation for these cities differs. Some stricter criteria might also be added to the rankings of these cities.</li>



<li>The scope of ranking for cities lagging behind in terms of resources and budget may be different.</li>



<li>Many cities are newly established. The systems for aesthetics, transportation, and cleanliness are different from the outset. Some older cities have large populations in smaller areas. It is difficult for such cities to meet 100% of the cleanliness criteria even with considerable effort. The ranking of such cities can be done against similar cities.</li>



<li>A city&#8217;s population, area, education, and per capita income play a significant role in its sanitation system. Therefore, the scope of ranking can be differentiated between cities with similar population, area, education, and per capita income.</li>
</ul>


<p>Indore ranks No. 1 in cleanliness for the 7th time, some states object; Centre to introduce separate competition.</p>

Maha umbh Traffic Chaos: 5 Key Reasons


<p><strong>Maha Kumbh Traffic Jam:</strong> People are arriving in Prayagraj from all corners of the country to participate in the Mahakumbh. The resulting crowd pressure is so intense that Prayagraj is grappling with massive traffic jams. All routes leading to the Sangam are severely congested. Pedestrians are having to walk approximately 20-25 kilometres. Let&#8217;s examine the five major reasons behind the Mahakumbh mega-jam…</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Most Parking Lots Full</h2>



<p>In anticipation of the large crowds, the administration had initially created 102 parking lots along all seven major routes connecting Prayagraj. After the three Amrit Snans, the administration reduced the number of parking lots to 36. However, even after Vasant Panchami, the influx of devotees continued, resulting in most parking lots filling up. This has led to a continuous stream of vehicles on the roads, causing traffic jams.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lack of Coordination with Neighbouring Districts</h2>



<p>No concrete plan has been implemented to stop vehicles entering Prayagraj at the borders. Because of this, the number of vehicles entering Prayagraj is constantly increasing. According to media reports, the lack of coordination between the administration and police with neighbouring districts has exacerbated the problem.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Personnel Unfamiliar with Geography</h2>



<p>In addition to the local police and PAC, paramilitary forces have been deployed throughout the Mahakumbh Mela and Prayagraj district for traffic management and security. According to media reports, the outside police are not well-acquainted with the local geography. When asked for directions, devotees are consistently receiving the same response from the personnel: “Just keep moving slowly.” This is despite the Mela administration claiming that all security personnel received the necessary information during training.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lack of Advance Information Dissemination</h2>



<p>Stranded devotees are not receiving timely information about the traffic jams. There is a lack of signage along the highways to guide devotees. People are simply following each other, and when the crowd becomes too large, they are stopped using barricades. If the situation had been controlled earlier, the situation would not have become unmanageable.</p>

<p><strong>RSSB Order:</strong> The Rajasthan Staff Selection Board (RSSB) will now impose fines on candidates who are absent from recruitment examinations. A decision was taken at a board meeting on Monday that candidates will be charged a fine of ₹750 at the time of applying for the third examination if they are absent twice.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Penalty of ₹1500 for Absence from Two Recruitment Exams</h2>



<p>A penalty of ₹1500 will be levied for not attending two recruitment examinations. Similarly, a total fine of ₹2250 will be imposed for not attending four examinations. This rule will apply to examinations held after April 1st.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Savings of over ₹100 Crore for the Government</h2>



<p>The Congress government implemented one-time registration for recruitment examinations. This allows the government to receive fees from candidates only once. On the other hand, candidates who are absent from recruitment examinations increase the cost of examinations for the government. In the case of the Rajasthan Staff Selection Board, an average of ₹600 is spent on each candidate. Imposing fines will save the government more than ₹100 crore.</p>

<p><strong>Gold Price Hits Record:</strong> India, and indeed the world, has many enthusiasts for buying and wearing gold. Gold reached a new record high today, Monday. In India, gold prices hit an all-time high on Monday. The price of 10 grams of 24-carat gold reached ₹87,210, while the price of 1 gram reached ₹8,721. The continuous increase in gold prices reflects the growing interest of investors in the yellow metal amidst fluctuations in the global market.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Rate: Price Increase in 10 Days</h2>



<p>Since the beginning of February, gold prices have been steadily rising. On February 1st, the price of 22-carat gold was ₹7,760 per gram, while 24-carat gold was ₹8,464 per gram. By February 10th, these rates had risen to ₹7,995 and ₹8,721 respectively. This calculates to a +3.03% increase in 22-carat gold and a +3.04% increase in 24-carat gold over 10 days.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Price: Why are Gold Prices Rising?</h2>



<p>Several factors contribute to the rising price of gold. Global economic uncertainty driven by trade tensions and inflationary concerns has prompted investors to seek safe-haven assets. Furthermore, the weakening Indian Rupee has further increased domestic gold prices, making the yellow metal more expensive to import. With inflation and stock market volatility, investing in gold is becoming a safer option.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">These Countries Bought the Most Gold</h2>



<p>According to data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other sources, Kazakhstan emerged as the largest seller in December 2024, selling 11 tonnes of gold. China, however, topped the list of gold-buying countries, purchasing 10 tonnes. Looking at the data for the year 2024, Poland emerged as the largest net buyer of gold, adding 90 tonnes to its reserves. Turkey (75 tonnes) and India (73 tonnes) followed in second and third place respectively.</p>
