Jaipur. Punjab Governor Gulabchand Kataria, BJP Rajasthan State President Madan Rathore, senior BJP leader and former Leader of the Opposition Rajendra Rathore, Leader of the Opposition Tikaram Julie, and Bhilwara District Chief Barji Bai Bhil released the book, “Agnipath, Not Janpath,” based on Dr. Satish Poonia’s tenure as MLA (2018-2023). The book was released by the Constitution Club in Jaipur. The book was jointly organized by the Rajasthan Sahitya Academy, Udaipur, and Vera Publications, Jaipur.
All the speakers praised India’s strong democracy, saying that while ideologies may differ, they urged everyone to work together in the public interest. Speaking on the occasion, Punjab Governor Kataria said that by writing this book, Satish Poonia has done a historic service for the beauty of democracy, and that he himself was so impressed by it that he was inspired to write another book. The book provides information about the functioning of the Rajasthan
Legislative Assembly, the role of the Leader of the Opposition, the Speaker, and every process related to the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly. This is truly a monumental achievement, and Satish Poonia deserves thanks for this.
He added that the public will also learn a lot from this book, gaining valuable information about the Legislative Assembly. Furthermore, new MLAs and young people aspiring to a career in politics will learn a lot from this book. Kataria said that only those who have walked the Agnipath understand the Janpath. Opinions may differ, but harmony should prevail. Senior BJP leader Rajendra Rathod said that, without being tested on Agnipath, one cannot get Janpath, only the one who gets tested like Kundan by walking on Agnipath reaches Janpath. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also reached the top of the country by walking on Agnipath. Rajendra Rathod said that, Satish Poonia is present here as the party, Tikaram Julie is present as the opposition, His Excellency Governor Gulabchand Kataria is present as the neutral, Bhilwad District Head Barji Bai Bhil is present as a land, this is a very rare opportunity which has been received after a long time. Leader of Opposition in the Rajasthan Assembly, Tikaram Julie, said in his address that he greatly misses leaders like Satish Poonia, Rajendra Rathore, Gulabchand Kataria, and Ghanshyam Tiwari in the Assembly, as he has learned a lot from them. They were punctual in arriving at the Assembly, attending every meeting, presenting their views factually on every issue, and maintaining the decorum of the House. These were the characteristics of these senior leaders, and even a first-time MLA would learn a lot from them. However, he himself deeply misses these leaders in the Rajasthan Assembly today. Julie said, “The people of Haryana have a carefree nature, and Satish Poonia has also adopted this nature these days. I have specifically come to Satish Poonia’s program to find out how we lost the Haryana elections. Everyone was saying Congress was winning, it was winning, but how did Congress lose in Haryana, it remains unclear to this day.” State President Madan Rathod said, Governor Gulabchand Kataria is an ideal of politics, he said that Satish Poonia is a skilled organizer, he has done a lot of work in the state for the strengthening of the party, pointing towards Satish Poonia, Madan Rathod said that Satish Bhaisahab, I have always walked ahead of you and made your path and Bhaisahab, now you don’t worry, I will keep making paths for you in future too.. Hearing this, Satish Poonia and all the people present on the stage and in the auditorium started laughing loudly.
He was already aware of many qualities of Satish Poonia, but after seeing this book of his, today he realized that he is also a good writer.
