Jayant Patil said, "We all have been in the party for the last 25 years. My efforts were to avoid a split in the party. The party belongs to all of us. That is why I was in contact with both sides (NCP factions), which stoked speculation of me shifting loyalties." The former state minister said a political party acts as a bridge between politicians and common citizens. "When you build a party, you connect with more and more people. Under the guidance of Sharad Pawar, the NCP has become a party of able people," he said.Even after Ajit Pawar's switch over, the NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) has been maintaining that there was no split in the party.

"Before the election results, the Opposition said (prime minister Narendra) Modi's popularity was waning. But people have put faith in Modi's guarantee. That is why the opposition should think before opening its mouth," CM Eknath Shinde said, according to the PTI. The situation in Maharashtra was also favourable for his government and it has the people's blessings, he said. "The ground is slipping from under the Opposition's feet," the chief minister said referring to the boycott of the customary hi-tea by opposition parties. The I-N-D-I-A bloc was on the verge of breaking apart due the defeat in the assembly elections, CM Shinde claimed.

06 December,2023 08:12 PM IST | Nagpur | mid-day online correspondentCongress leader Vijay Wadettiwar on Wednesday claimed that the ongoing protests by the Maratha and Other Backward Classes (OBC) communities in Maharashtra are being orchestrated by the Eknath Shinde-led government, reported the PTI. The leader of opposition in the assembly was speaking to reporters in Nagpur district of Maharashtra on the eve of the commencement of the winter session of the Maharashtra legislature. While the Maratha community is agitating for a quota, leaders from the OBC are also holding rallies, demanding that the OBC quota should not be touched while granting reservation to the Marathas. "Both the agitations have been state-sponsored and the intention is to keep the two communities fighting against each other. This is certainly not good for society," Vijay Wadettiwar said, according to the PTI. "Such proxy battles are an attempt by the state government to divert the people's attention from real and important issues," he added. Meanwhile, Maharashtra minister and senior OBC leader Chhagan Bhujbal on Wednesday said that there will be no Marathas left in Maharashtra if all of them get Kunbi certificates, reported the PTI. "If Marathas get blanket Kunbi OBC certificates, there will be no separate identity of the Maratha community in Maharashtra," Chhagan Bhujbal said on Wednesday amid the Maratha quota row, as per the PTI. The Marathas, led by Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange, have been demanding inclusion of their community in the OBC category so that they also get quota benefits. CM Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government has started the process of giving Kunbi caste certificates to those Marathas who possess revenue or education documents from the Nizam era that recognise them as Kunbis, the news agency reported. When asked whether the inclusion of Marathas will affect the OBC reservation, Chhagan Bhujbal said in a sarcastic vein, "I feel now that there is no need to do anything else because all Maratha community members are taking Kunbi certificates and getting included in the OBC category. Hence, no Maratha will be left in Maharashtra as all of them are becoming Kunbis. I think there is no need for any other solution," according to PTI. (with PTI inputs)

06 December,2023 07:14 PM IST | New Delhi | ANIHome Minister Amit Shah, during a Lok Sabha debate on the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Bill and the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, criticized India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, attributing the “sufferings in Kashmir” to Nehru's "two major blunders." Shah blamed Nehru for declaring a ceasefire without securing the entire region and for involving the United Nations in the issue. The bills, focusing on Jammu and Kashmir's representation, were passed in the Lok Sabha. Shah emphasized that had Nehru taken different actions, a significant portion of territory would not have been relinquished, and Pakistan-administered Kashmir might have been part of India. He referred to these decisions as "Nehruvian blunders," asserting that Kashmir endured due to these historical mistakes. The Home Minister highlighted two critical errors: declaring a ceasefire when victory was imminent and taking the Kashmir issue to the United Nations. The opposition staged a walkout during the debate but later returned. Responding to the opposition, Shah quipped about mentioning Nehru's "Himalayan blunder" in reference to actions leading to the 1962 war with China. Shah underscored that the bills aimed to provide justice and representation to those deprived of rights for 70 years. He argued that if terrorism had been addressed earlier without considering vote-bank politics, Kashmiri Pandits might not have had to leave the Valley. Also read: Omar Abdullah slams BJP, says Article 370 abrogation harmed bond between Jammu and Kashmir, rest of country Talking about the abrogation of Article 370, Shah said it had nothing to do with going back on promise as it was a temporary article and had to go."You did not have the courage, PM Narendra Modi showed courage and did away with it," he said, referring to the opposition benches. Shah expressed confidence in the government's plan to achieve zero terror incidents in Jammu and Kashmir by 2026. The bills, focusing on reservation amendments and reorganization in Jammu and Kashmir, received Lok Sabha approval. Shah also criticized the Congress, stating that if any party hindered the growth of backward classes, it was the Congress. The bills aim to nominate two Kashmiri Migrant community members, reserve a seat for people displaced from Pakistan-administered Kashmir, and address historical injustices, he said.

06 December,2023 06:25 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentThe Opposition parties on Wednesday boycotted the customary tea party on the eve of the commencement of the Maharashtra Assembly winter session in Nagpur alleging that the government has failed to tackle the agrarian distress, riots, and drug crime, reported the PTI. According to the PTI, while speaking to the reporters in Nagpur, the Leader of the Opposition in the Maharashtra assembly, Vijay Wadettiwar, cited the latest crime bureau data to target the government. "We received the invitation of the state government for the tea party but we feel it would be highly inappropriate to attend it. We have decided to boycott the event," the Congress leader said, as per the PTI. As per the convention, the winter session of the state legislature is held in Nagpur, the second capital of Maharashtra, every year. Referring to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data, Wadettiwar claimed 22,746 farmers have committed suicide in Maharashtra because of agrarian distress and indebtedness. "The government has failed to address the agrarian distress in Maharashtra. There is no check on the rampant drug supply in the state. The NCRB figures also indicate that 8,218 cases of rioting were reported in the state (in 2022). In such a scenario, will fresh investment come to our state?" he questioned, according to the PTI. The Congress leader further alleged that the state government has not even paid Rs 50,000 financial assistance to every farmer who suffered crop loss last year. "The way this government announced drought in 40 tehsils; raises suspicion that the move is politically motivated. These tehsils are seemingly selected considering certain politicians," he added. Earlier in the day, opposition parties held a meeting in Nagpur to discuss the agenda for the winter session, likely to be dominated by issues such as the Maratha reservation demand and crop loss among others, in the next ten days. This meeting was attended by former chief minister Prithviraj Chavan and Wadettiwar (both Congress), opposition leader in the Legislative Council Ambadas Danve (Shiv Sena-UBT), and NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) leaders Jayant Patil and Anil Deshmukh. Other leaders of Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) including Aaditya Thackeray, state Congress president Nana Patole, Congress legislative party leader Balasaheb Thorat, and ex-CM Ashok Chavan, however, were not present at the meeting. When asked about some key leaders of MVA not attending the meeting, a senior MLA said, "The government's decision to hold the session from Thursday instead of December 11 (Monday) seems very odd considering that only two working days are available this week. Several MLAs are likely to attend the session from Monday onwards". (with PTI inputs)
06 December,2023 04:56 PM IST | Nagpur | mid-day online correspondentThe Delhi High Court on Wednesday asked the Centre to decide expeditiously, preferably within three months, a representation to ban and cancel the licence to keep "dangerous" dog breeds such as Pitbull, Terriers, American Bulldog and Rottweiler. A bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Manmohan asked the petitioner, who made the representation in October, to let the authorities "take a call" on the issue as they were the ones who draft the relevant laws and regulations. During the hearing, the court also stressed the need for promoting the local breeds of dogs which are "sturdy". "Indian breeds need to be taken care of. They are far more sturdy. They don't fall sick that often because they have acclimatized. Today we are vocal for local," the court observed. The central government lawyer said the representation has already been sent to the department concerned and a decision will be taken after consultation with stakeholders. "They (the authorities) shall decide representation as expeditiously as possible, preferably within three months," the bench, also comprising Justice Mini Pushkanra, ordered. On October 5, a division-bench headed by then Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma had refused to entertain the petitioner's PIL on the issue, saying they should first approach the government authorities with its grievance. In its petition, Legal Attorneys & Barristers Law Firm had alleged that dog breeds like Bulldog, Rottweiler, Pitbull, Terriers, Neapolitan Mastiff are "dangerous dogs" and are banned in more than 12 countries including India but the Municipal Corporation of Delhi was still registering them to be kept as pets. The petition highlighted that there had been many incidents of such dog breeds attacking people including their owners. "lt is the need of the hour to ban and cancel the licence to keep dogs such as Pitbull, Terriers, American bulldog, Rottweiler, Japanese Tosa, Bandog, Neapolitan Mastiff, Wolf Dog, Boerboel, Presa Canario, Fila Brasileiro, Tosa Inu, Cane Corso, Dogo Argentino and cross breeds of above mentioned dogs," it had stated. The petition had asserted that it was the duty of the Centre and the state government to act as welfare state and to take preemptive action to save the lives of the citizens from the risk of any major dog bite incident by these "dangerous" breeds.

06 December,2023 04:22 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentChief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said the AAP government has ordered an audit of the Delhi Jal Board's records by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) to ascertain if there have been any irregularities. Speaking to reporters, he warned that there could be a water and sewage crisis in Delhi in the coming days owing to the non-release of funds. A couple of weeks ago, Delhi Water Minister Atishi had claimed the national capital was staring at a "man-made water crisis" due to the stoppage of funds to the Delhi Jal Board by the Finance Department and demanded Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena's immediate intervention in the matter. Kejriwal said, "We have ordered a CAG audit of the last 15 years of records of the Delhi Jal Board. The CAG is a third party and the biggest agency in the country. Things will become clearer now." "If someone has committed irregularities, they should be punished. If no irregularities have been committed, then those who level baseless allegations will get to know," he added. Asked about the fund crisis in the Delhi Jal Board and its possible impact on the ongoing work, the chief minister said, "If the bureaucracy will not be answerable to the government, it will be impossible to run the government. There could be a water crisis and a sewage crisis due to non-release of funds." Addressing a press conference on the issue, Atishi said strict action will be taken if any irregularities are found in the CAG audit of the DJB's records of the last 15 years. "Questions were raised and it was alleged that there are irregularities in the Delhi Jal Board. I want to remind them that our party has grown out of a movement against corruption. We will initiate strict action if any irregularities are found after the CAG audit," Atishi told reporters. "We have removed ministers from their posts when questions were raised against them and now, a CAG audit has been ordered," she added. On the delay by the Finance Department in releasing funds to the DJB, Atishi said that the matter is subjudice and that it happened because of "officers neglecting directions". "Even after giving directions twice to the Finance Department, funds are not being released. The matter is in the court now," she said. Delhi Jal Board vice-chairman Somnath Bharti welcomed the government's decision to order an audit. "There cannot be a better thing than this. This reflects the transparency of the Delhi government... the chief minister himself ordered a CAG audit. This proves the honesty of the AAP government and our leader Arvind Kejriwal. "This also thwarts the attempt to politicise the Delhi Jal Board. In the DJB, we all have been working hard to serve the people of Delhi but the BJP has been trying to raise issues that have no merit. So now, the CAG audit will make everything clear," Bharti told PTI. The BJP and the AAP have been sparring over alleged irregularities in the Delhi Jal Board since last month. The BJP has accused the DJB of running a "scam" of awarding bogus tenders for the upgradation of its sewage treatment plants. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.
