My socio-politico analysis post-Ajit Pawar’s passing away….
 AJIT Pawar’s untimely passing away can strengthen Sharad Pawar, negatively impact the BJP government in Maharashtra a tad bit, continue the impasse regarding change of guard in Karnataka…the last because Congress will adopt a wait-and-watch policy, as inertia could set in at the nataka level.
Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule are very likely to attempt a pull-back, but it will be selective, negotiated, and gradual, not a sweeping takeover.
With Ajit Pawar gone, his faction loses its sole binding force: personal authority, tactical control, and access to power. That makes the group structurally weak and politically anxious.
While Sharad Pawar will do:
• Use his unmatched credibility and age-tested authority to present himself as the only stable pole of NCP politics.
• Reach out quietly to MLAs who defected for power, not ideology.
• Offer dignity, protection, and a narrative of “homecoming,” not revenge.
What Supriya Sule will do:
• Act as the bridge figure – less intimidating, more future-oriented.
• Attract younger leaders and fence-sitters who fear marginalization in BJP-dominated arrangements.
• Reframe reunification as continuity of the Pawar legacy, not capitulatiion.
Limits to reunification:
• Leaders deeply embedded with BJP power structures may stay put.
• Legal recognition, symbols and electoral calculations will slow a full merger.
Bottom line:
Ajit Pawar’s faction is not an easy target – but it is vulnerable.
Sharad Pawar won’t “snatch” it back; he will absorb it piece by piece, turning political gravity – not force – into his advantage.

PUBLIC TOILET IN EVERY VILLAGE!

A Sulabh Shauchalay (public toilet) in village markets is essential for hygiene and convenience. These facilities are often managed by Sulabh International, an NGO that provides low-cost, eco-friendly sanitation solutions. But most of the village markets do not have public toilet in this modern era. At least every Village Panchayat must suggest the proposal to the government or managing institutions by arranging suitable place for the toilets.
To construct or request a Sulabh toilet in village market, Gram Sabhas must pass resolutions as a part of Development & Sanitation. If village market lacks a public toilet, people can take steps as to contact local authorities to submit a written request to Gram Panchayats. Most local Municipal Councils have toilet facility in their market areas.
The village Panchayats should Reach out to Sulabh International directly to discuss community-led sanitation projects, without hesitation. While executing, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, village Panchayats must report the need for a facility through the official Swachh Bharat Gramin portal.

VALENTINE’S DAY
ON February 14 we celebrate Valentine’s Day. A day meant for the expression of love, a day of love, a day when loved ones celebrate and profess their true love to their loved ones, and on this day many separated and broken lovers are in deep pain and depression, as they are away from their loved ones. It is a time when we have to help those who need our love and concern and those who are in tears and in loneliness. Let’s make this Valentine’s Day a day of joy for those broken and separated couples who are waiting to be reunited back in love, bring a season of joy for those couples. As we wish each other a Happy Valentine’s Day, we should also transform our society and spread love, joy and happiness to all around us and make this Valentine’s Day a true day of love, joy and happiness. We should uproot hatred that is spread due to our selfishness and self-centred nature and make this day a Happy Valentine’s Day
