You can’t hide your inner feelings forever ‘Bhaiya’

When the Chief Minister of Punjab, Shri Charan Singh Channi said with full steam at a public meeting that he “would not allow any bhaiya from UP, Bihar and Delhi to rule the state”, Shrimati Priyanka – the second leading lady of the Grand Old Political Party of India, kept laughing and clapping on this objectionable comment. She along with her bhaiya also seeks votes in UP and her entire family hails from the great Uttar Pradesh. When the controversial statement grabbed headlines in the newspapers next morning, the Congress leader used the same words, which every politician says, that his words had been distorted. The truth can’t be hidden, as the video went viral on social media and the TV cameras also captured the moment. It is said that the matter of the heart comes on the tongue. Same happened in this case. The Congress CM spoke out his thoughts, that too in a public gathering. The fate of the country is decided by Uttar Pradesh and not Punjab, have you forgotten Channi Bhaiya? While his own state is neck-deep in debt, there are not enough employment opportunities for the youth, who migrate to Canada, US, Australia and other countries for jobs. Uttar Pradesh is busy in the festival of elections and the people there have to decide whether they want a Mafia Raaj or Vikas Raaj, the Rampuri Chakku or Ayodhya Aarti. By the way, people of the state are wise enough, and will make the right choice. No matter what the Bhaiyaji says.
Once again, Corona interrupted the campaigning. The entire process shifted to digital mode. However, the third wave has now slowed down. Life is back on track and restrictions are disappearing. Contrary to Covid, more deaths occur due to alcohol and tobacco. According to the WHO, 3 million people die every year in the world due to excessive consumption of alcohol. Alcohol-borne diseases account for 5% of the world’s expenditure on treatment. Similarly, 8 million people die every year due to tobacco. These include 1.2 million people who do not use tobacco themselves, nor do they smoke cigarettes, but they live with those who smoke.
According to an estimate, 1.3 billion people in the world smoke or use other tobacco products. During the Covid pandemic, the addiction of people to consume alcohol and tobacco products had increased. A study conducted in Britain found that in the first lockdown itself, more than 40%, about 4.5 million people started consuming alcohol. The government of New Zealand has become strict regarding smoking in the country. The government there has made up its mind to completely eliminate smoking from the country and is going to bring a new law for this. New Zealand has set a target to reduce the smoking rate to 5% by the year 2025. People born there in 2008 or after will not be able to buy or smoke cigarettes and other tobacco products from next financial year. Meanwhile, the United Nations has issued a warning about the water crisis that climate change is causing drought, floods and drinking water crisis in the world. According to an UN report, by 2050 the number of people facing water crisis could be 5 billion or more.
