A notable feature of the Press Club election was that a vetran journalist and former president Ish Madhu Talwar’s fraction suffered crushing defeat. His candidate for Presidentship Harish Gupta, who claims to be general secretary of Rajasthan Working Journalists Union, came fourth in the contest in a six-cornered poll.

Ashok Bhatnagar who broke from the IFWJ and joined the dead outfit, got just two votes. He was also blessed by Talwar. Talwar had lost very badly last year when he had himself contested for Press Club presidentship. His clout with the BJP government was lost when the Rajasthan Govt. evicted him from the Govt. flat as Talwar is no more a working journalist.

Full credit for this glorious victory goes to Comrade Upendra Singh Rathore, State Unit President. Com. Rathore had organized the IFWJ Working Committee meeting in Jaipur on 28th October last year to mark the 67th Anniversary, presided over by Com. K. Vikram Rao president IFWJ He had hosted the IFWJ’s National Council 71st session in the frontier town of Jaisalmer 23-26 September 2016 when delegates had demonstrated at the Pakistan Border  for a free Balochistan and the liberation of Pak-occupied Kashmir. Three days after the IFWJ rally, the Modi government carried of a “Surgical Strike ” inside Pakistan.
