Vijay Jawaharlal Darda (born 14 May 1950,Yavatmal)[2] is a politician from Indian National Congress party, and a Member of the Parliament of India representing Maharashtra in the Rajya Sabha since 1998, having been elected for three consecutive terms into the upper house of the Indian Parliament. He is the chairman of the Lokmat Media Group.[3] He is also the President of the Akhil Bhartiya Sakal Jain Samaj.[4] Darda was President of the Indian Newspaper Society, New Delhi from 1997 to 1998. He continues to be a member of its executive committee.[5]

Early life and political career[edit]

Darda was born in a Shwetambar Jain Family in Yavatmal. His father, Jawaharlal Darda, was a freedom fighter during the independence struggle of India. Jawaharlal Darda launched Lokmat, a daily Marathi newspaper on December 15, 1971, in Nagpur.[6][7] Vijay J Darda received a diploma in Journalism and Printing Technology from Mumbai University.[8] In 1998, he contested his first Rajya Sabha election and won as an independent candidate against the Congress candidate Ram Pradhan.[9] After winning as an independent candidate, Congress party nominated him for the 2004 and 2010 Rajya Sabha elections in which he secured victory.[10]

Darda was elected and served as the chairman of Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) for 2010–11.[11]

In 1986, he organised All India Kabaddi Gold Trophy Tournament at Yavatmal to promote the Indian game at an international level.[8]

When the execution of the Wardha-Yavatmal-Nanded railway project was delayed, Darda requested authorities to intervene. On 11 June 2014, he made a demand for a separate state for Vidarbha in Parliament because of the problems that people of the region face. He demanded that the first cargo hub of the country should be set up in Nagpur, which would generate widespread employment and fuel growth and development in the region. He said that the Sewagram Ashram at Wardha should be declared a national heritage structure as it has been witness to the 'satyagraha' and national freedom struggle, the release said. He demanded the government to ensure that there was no interference with the freedom of press.[12]

Darda published a book titled Public Issues Before Parliament that compiles his various contributions as a Member of Parliament. The book was released by then Vice President of India Hamid Ansari.[13]

In 2014, Darda actively highlighted the problems of people in Vidarbha region and urged the centre to create a package of INR 200 crores for widows of farmers who committed suicide, and which supported institutions of higher education in the backward region. An agro-based industry model was suggested by him to create alternate employment opportunities.[14] Darda urged for additional financial incentives to attract more industrial investments to the Vidharbha region.[15]

During the meeting of the Consultative Committee of the Members of Parliament for the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Darda raised issues about the Maharashtra government managing airports. He pointed out that the Maharashtra Govt. has no expertise in maintenance of airports and development of infrastructure, and the condition of the airport is deteriorating due to non-appointment of strategic partner who could make investments for development of the airports.[16]

Darda was part of the Pakistan-India Parliamentarians' Dialogue in Islamabad, Pakistan in 2011. He told the press, "The 26/11 incident is important for India and cannot be considered a closed chapter. The trust deficit can also be bridged if steps are taken to release Sarabjit Singh." Darda also said, "Pakistan will have to act on India's long-standing security concerns, including the handing over of Dawood Ibrahim and the prosecution of those involved in the 2008 Mumbai attack case. Visas should also be issued freely and Pakistan can benefit from India's expertise in areas like healthcare. The two sides also have to address key issues like poverty, education and differences over sharing river waters."[17]

Darda raised issues of wildlife conservation in Parliament.[18]

Darda scrupulously followed up in Rajya Sabha on issues including combating global warming, cleaning of the Yamuna river and depleting forest cover in the country. He also proposed the installation of surveillance systems at national parks to check poaching, as well as to mitigate the illegal trade of leopard skin and body parts.[19]

In an exclusive interview with senior journalists in Nagpur, Mr. Vijay Darda said a strong political will is needed to complete his dream project Wardha -Yavatmal-Nanded railway line on time. Darda said he is pursuing this project constantly for last 13 year. So far, he has discussed the project with eleven Railway Ministers and made correspondence with relevant authorities several times. Darda said, original cost of the project 284 km yellow line was 274.55 crore but the cost has escalated to 3,165 crore now in 2021.[20]
