Shimla Police Questions BJP Leaders in Alleged Horse-Trading Case

August 23, 2024, 4:22 pm

Shimla Police questioned several BJP leaders and former MLAs in connection with an alleged horse-trading case related to the Rajya Sabha elections on Friday. Among those summoned were former MLAs Davinder Bhutto, KL Thakur, and Rajinder Rana, who appeared at the Boileauganj Police Station. Rakesh Sharma, father of former Congress legislator Ashish Sharma, was also questioned.

BJP leader Rajinder Rana dismissed the allegations as baseless, stating, “There is a significant difference between making an allegation and proving it. At 58 years of age, this is the first time I’ve been summoned to a police station. We are fully cooperating with the investigation, but mere allegations don’t establish guilt.”

Rana also targeted the state government, questioning why Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister prefers staying in five-star hotels in Chandigarh instead of Himachal Bhavan, where he has a designated suite. He criticized the government for financial mismanagement, noting that the state is burdened with debt while the Chief Minister avoids engaging with the people.

“Thanks to the Chief Minister’s ‘mercy,’ I find myself visiting a police station today. The central government should award him a gold medal for deceit. His promises of employment and financial aid for women remain unfulfilled. Himachal Pradesh is under a debt of ₹65,000 crore, with this government adding ₹35,000 crore in loans within just a year and a half,” Rana added.

In March, Shimla Police registered an FIR against former Independent MLA Ashish Sharma and his father, Rakesh Sharma, following a complaint by Congress legislators Bhuvnashwar Gaur and CPS Sanjay Awasthi. The FIR, filed on March 10th at the Boileauganj Police Station, invoked sections 120B, 171(e), and (c) of the IPC, along with sections 7 and 8 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. The complaint alleged undue pressure during Rajya Sabha elections, horse-trading during the budget session, and misuse of state resources for illegal activities.

This is an irreparable loss for the BJP family. I pray to Almighty God to give his holy soul a place in his feet and provide strength to his family members in this hour of grief. Om Shanti!”

My condolences to his family.”

BJP MLA Phool Singh Meena also expressed his condolences. “He was a very important member of us. I hope his family gets through such a big loss. Meena was very good with his work and was always focused on doing his best,” he said.

Amritlal Meena was a member of the Salumber Sarada Panchayat Samiti in 2004 and was also a member of the Udaipur Zila Parishad from 2007 to 2010.

Ranjit Chautala remains minister in Nayab Saini govt as non-MLA for the last 4 months

July 25, 2024, 10:56 pm

In the current Nayab Singh Saini-led BJP government of Haryana, Ranjit Singh Chautala, the Cabinet Minister of Energy (Electricity) and Jail departments, completed four months as a minister without being an MLA on July 23.

On March 12 this year, when the then Chief Minister of the state Manohar Lal Khattar was replaced by the then BJP MP from Kurukshetra Lok Sabha seat Nayab Saini as the Chief Minister of Haryana, Ranjit Singh was among the five cabinet ministers who took the oath with him. At that time, Ranjit Singh was an independent MLA from the Rania assembly seat of Sirsa district. He had also been the minister of the said departments in the previous Manohar Lal government of the state.

Ranjit Singh joined the BJP on the evening of March 24, shortly after which he was declared the party candidate from the Hisar Lok Sabha seat. Due to this, Ranjit resigned from the post of MLA on the same day since no person can join any political party while being an independent MLA without facing disqualification under the anti-defection law. However, along with his resignation from the post of MLA, Ranjit did not resign from his position as a cabinet minister in the state government.

After more than a month had passed since his resignation from the post of MLA from the Rania assembly seat, on April 30, 2024, Haryana Assembly Speaker Gian Chand Gupta accepted Ranjit’s resignation from the post of MLA, backdating it to March 24. On June 4, Ranjit, contesting from the Hisar Lok Sabha seat on a BJP ticket, was defeated by Jai Prakash of the Congress by 63,381 votes.

Meanwhile, Nayab Saini was elected as an MLA two and a half months after becoming the Chief Minister by winning a by-election held on May 25 in the Karnal assembly seat, which became vacant due to the resignation of former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar. In the current government, Ranjit has remained a non-MLA since March 24 and has continued as a cabinet minister without taking a fresh oath.

On May 2, Hemant Kumar, an expert and advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, wrote to the President of India, Draupadi Murmu, raising an important legal and constitutional question. He questioned why Ranjit Singh, who was a member (MLA) of the present 14th Haryana Legislative Assembly on March 12, the day he took the oath of office and secrecy as a minister in the Nayab Saini government, was still holding the post of minister after resigning as an MLA on March 24. According to Article 164(4) of the Indian Constitution, a minister who is not an MLA can hold office for a maximum period of six months, but for this, he should be administered a fresh oath of office and secrecy as a minister by the Governor of Haryana.

The Under Secretary of the President’s Secretariat wrote to the Chief Secretary of Haryana on this subject on May 9, asking him to address the matter and inform the petitioner. However, even after more than two and a half months, no reply has been received from the Haryana government.

Hemant Kumar pointed out that whenever the election of a minister appointed in the Central Government or State Government (as an MP or MLA) is canceled or declared invalid by the concerned High Court or the Supreme Court of India, the minister must immediately resign. Such a person cannot argue that they can continue as a minister for a maximum of six months from the date of disqualification.

He further noted that if the Prime Minister or the Chief Minister wants, such a person, whose election as MP or MLA has been canceled, can be reappointed as a minister for one term of up to six months. However, this requires that the person is administered a new oath of office and secrecy by the President of India or the Governor of the state.

ED Searches Jharkhand Congress MLA Amba Prasad’s Premises

March 13, 2024, 1:30 pm

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches at premises linked to Jharkhand Congress MLA Amba Prasad in Hazaribagh on Wednesday, in cases related to alleged land and transfer-posting scams.

Following a raid conducted by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at her properties in Jharkhand on Tuesday, Congress MLA Amba Prasad asserted that she was approached by the BJP with an offer to contest from Hazaribag in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, which she denied. She described the ED’s actions as “a whole day of torture,” alleging pressure from various quarters to change her political allegiance.

“So many people coming from the RSS side also pressurized me to contest from Chatra. I ignored that also. They see me as a very strong candidate in Hazaribag because we are continuously winning Barkagaon seats. We are from Congress, not from BJP. So easy target,” she said.

A complaint of money laundering was filed in 2023 against the Congress MLA at the Ranchi zonal office of the central enforcement agency, as per sources.

Based on the complaint, the Deputy Director-level officer of ED had sought information about all the FIRs registered against Amba Prasad from Jharkhand Police.

In its letter, ED also asked the state police whether any case of predicative offence was registered against Amba Prasad or not.

After the ED’s correspondence, the police sent the list of cases registered against Barkagaon MLA Amba Prasad to the ED’s zonal office.

The 36-year-old legislator represents the Barkagaon Assembly seat in Hazaribag district. In a post on X the MLA on Wednesday posted a picture of herself waving the victory sign with the quote “Satyamev Jayate” (Truth always wins).

BSP MP, former party MLA likely to join BJP ahead of Lok Sabha polls

December 28, 2023, 4:27 pm

It is probable that Sangeeta Azad, the MP for the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) from the Lalganj constituency, and Azad Ari Mardan, the former MLA of the party, will join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prior to the Lok Sabha elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the MP met in the nation’s capital earlier today. It is believed that the action is a component of the BJP’s plan to fortify its organization in the Purvanchal area. For the BJP, the Purvanchal region is crucial because it encompasses cities like Ayodhya, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, and so on. In addition to its spiritual importance, Ayodhya is the hub of the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, which propelled the party to prominence. Since Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister, personally represents Gorakhpur.

In the Lok Sabha polls in 2019, Sangeeta Azad was pitted against BJP’s sitting MP Neelam Sonkar and the former won by a huge margin of 61,000 votes.
Meanwhile, Mayawati’s BSP has lost many MPs. Earlier, the party supremo expelled its Amroha MP, Danish Ali, for engaging in “anti-party” activities.
BSP MP from the Jaunpur constituency, Shyam Singh Yadav, also met with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi recently.
The Lok Sabha polls are scheduled to be held in 2024.
While Mayawati has indicated that her party will contest the polls alone, Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party, which holds a significant share in the Purvanchal region, has a pact with the newly established INDIA bloc.

September 5, 2023, 10:13 am

At seven in the morning on Tuesday, voting began for the seven assembly constituencies in six states, including Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Tripura, West Bengal, and Jharkhand. Notably, this is the first election between the newly formed Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) of the opposition bloc and the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Bye-elections are being held for the Puthupally seat in Kerala, the Dhupguri seat in West Bengal’s Jalpaiguri, the Dumri seat in Jharkhand and the Bageshwar seat in Uttarkhand, as well as the Boxanagar and Dhanpur seats in Tripura. On Friday, September 8, the Election Commission will announce the results of the bye-elections.

Bypolls in five states were necessitated due to the deaths of the sitting MLAs, while the two other MLAs resigned from their posts. In Uttar Pradesh’s Ghosi, Dara Singh Chauhan’s reelection as Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA necessitated bypolls. Chauhan joined the BJP after leaving the SP. The BJP has filed Chauhan against SP’s Sudhakar Singh for the Ghose byelections.
Bye-election in Tripura’s Dhanpur was necessitated after the BJP’s Pratima Bhoumik resigned to retain her Lok Sabha seat, leaving the assembly vacant. Bhoumik’s brother Bindu Debnath will be fighting for the BJP against Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) candidate Kaushik Chanda in Dhanpur for the bypolls.

As a result of the passing of CPI (MK) MLA Samsul Haque, the seat in Tripura’s Boxanagar district became open to competition between the BJP and CPI (M). There will be a fight between the SP, Congress, and BJP for the Bageshwar seat in Uttarakhand. The passing of BJP MLA Chandan Ram Dass prompted a bye-election in Bageshwar.
