Mi Casa Su Casa: Ashok Gehlot And Sachin Pilot Stand Together In Rajasthan - NDTV

-

Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot appeared together before the cameras today.

New Delhi:

Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot today appeared together in an uneasy show of unity after the Chief Minister called his former deputy a "gaddar (traitor)" in a bombshell interview to NDTV.

Speaking to reporters in Rajasthan's Jaipur, the feuding leaders stood next to each other and stressed that Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, which enters Rajasthan on December 4, will be a big success in the state.

"The party is supreme for us. We want the party to forge ahead and regain its glory," Chief Minister Gehlot told reporters.

"There is an atmosphere of tension in the country and it is a huge challenge. But the success of the yatra shows that people fully support the issues raised by Rahul Gandhi."

Sachin Pilot said the Bharat Jodo Yatra with Rahul Gandhi "will be welcomed with maximum enthusiasm and energy in Rajasthan".

The Gehlot-Pilot joint appearance was an imperative for the Congress, which is struggling with bad blood between its two top leaders in Rajasthan just before Rahul Gandhi begins his 12-day tour of the state.

The detente came through at a meeting of the rivals and Gandhis' trusted aide KC Venugopal, who was sent to Rajasthan to "oversee preps" for the yatra.

In an exclusive interview with NDTV on Thursday, Mr Gehlot said: "A gaddar (traitor) cannot be Chief Minister. The High Command cannot make Sachin Pilot the Chief Minister... a man who doesn't have 10 MLAs. Who revolted. He betrayed the party, (he) is a traitor."

Mr Pilot, in response, said it was "unbecoming" of a senior leader to use such words at a time the Congress needed to project a united front.

The free-for-all stunned the Congress, which clarified that "the party needs both leaders" - the experienced Ashok Gehlot and the "young and energetic" Sachin Pilot. The party also said the dispute would be resolved with the party's best interests in mind.

Yesterday, Rahul Gandhi rejected that the "gaddar" row would impact his yatra. "It will not affect the yatra and both the leaders are assets to the Congress party," he said in Indore.

Mr Gehlot, referring to those comments, said: "When Rahul Gandhi has said that our leaders are assets then we are assets... where is the dispute then?"

https://ift.tt/3qSH1Ig Nos encontramos ante un contexto económico y empresarial sin precedentes en nuestra historia moderna . La crisis provocada por la pandemia ha hecho que el Gobierno se haya visto obligado a poner en marcha una serie de medidas con el fin de preservar la financiación de pymes y autónomos y evitar que una crisis de liquidez pueda poner en riesgo su viabilidad, entre las que destacan los créditos ICO . Sin embargo, la banca no lo está poniendo nada fácil . Según las últimas estadísticas del Banco de España , correspondientes al mes de enero de 2021, la TAE de las nuevas operaciones de financiación de cuantía inferior a los 250.000 euros, que se suele asociar con las pymes y los autónomos, se situó en enero en el 3,48 por ciento TAE, casi un punto más que en el mes de diciembre de 2020 (2,55 por ciento TAE). Este repunte se explica fundamentalmente por un mayor volumen de comisiones aplicadas en los préstamos y créditos bancarios. De hecho, el TEDR (la TAE excluyen...

Colorado High School Coach Says He Was Forced to Resign Because He’s Gay

-
https://ift.tt/Oj01b3 Colorado high school students are demonstrating in support of Inoke Tonga, a volleyball coach who claims he was forced to resign from his job because of his sexuality.  According to the  Denver Post , Tonga left his position at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, where he had coached the volleyball team during the 2020-2021 school year. The coach said he intended to continue his role for the upcoming season, but was essentially pressured to leave his job after school administrators found out he was gay through his social media activity. Tonga says administrators had called him in for a meeting, in which they expressed their concerns over his sexuality and the affect it may have on the students. “I sat in the room being grilled about how being gay is a ‘danger’ to the school and to the kids,” Tonga wrote on Instagram. “That with me ‘identifying as a gay man, they can’t put the kids at risk by having me in front of them.’” He cont...
