Fracas started at the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) House session between BJP & AAP members.

SHIVANI UJJAINWALFebruary 23, 20230

When the BJP claimed that council members were using their mobile phones to take pictures of the votes during the secret voting and sought new elections, chaos ensued. After reconvening early on Thursday morning, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) house was postponed for a sixth time as AAP and BJP councillors continued to argue and shout slogans at one another. When the BJP claimed that during the secret voting, the council members were allegedly taking images of the ballots through their mobile devices, which is a violation of the secret ballot, mayhem broke out during the election for the members of the standing committee. The BJP has since urged that the votes cast be disregarded and that new elections be held. After the house broke for the day, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwa

SHIVANI UJJAINWALFebruary 22, 20230

Wednesday marked the House's fourth attempt to pick a mayor after it had previously failed to decide whether the LG-nominated members should be permitted to cast ballots. Shelly Oberoi, a first-time councillor for the Aam Aadmi Party, was chosen as Delhi's new mayor on Wednesday, putting an end to a months-long spat between the ruling AAP and the opposition BJP over the voting privileges of nominated members.

“Petroleum Products Can Be Brought Under GST Once States Agree”, Says Nirmala Sitharaman: Deets Inside!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALFebruary 16, 20230

According to Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday, the approval of the council members is required before petroleum items can be included in the GST. “The provision is already available for petroleum products to be brought into the GST. My predecessor had already made the window keep open. Once the states agree we will have the petroleum products also covered under GST. So, that’s not so much us not doing it, and the entire (GST) council saying ‘yes’,” she said.   She made the comments in response to a query while taking part in an interactive post-Budget session of the industry group, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), in this location. “Not just yes…what they (council members) have to do is to determine a rate and once they tell me the rate, w

SHIVANI UJJAINWALFebruary 11, 20230

In just five years, according to PM Modi, the BJP was able to put the state back on the path of rapid development, and the state has resolved that the "double-engine of progress" would not stop. He was speaking to a crowd in Ambassa, in the Dhalai district. Prime Minister Narendra Modi blasted the Congress-Left alliance during a rally in the poll-bound Tripura district of Radhakishorepur, claiming that the parties regressed the state's progress while they were in power. According to Modi, the BJP government has developed nearly 5,000 villages over the past five years, built roads, and provided robust mobile and internet connectivity. “It was the faith of the people of Tripura, which made us give our best towards bringing development in the State. I had promised for HIRA, and justify

SHIVANI UJJAINWALFebruary 11, 20230

Nirmala Sitharaman, Union Finance Minister, lashed out at Congress on Friday for criticising the government, claiming that the coalition in power does not make decisions with a single person in mind and that "we are not the party that promotes 'jeejas and bhatijas'."

“Replacing Old Political… Oh, Sorry…”: Nirmala Sitharaman’s Slip Of Tongue, And A Smile: Here What She Said!!!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALFebruary 6, 20230

While delivering the budget speech to the Lok Sabha in 2023–2024, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman made an interesting error. During her statement on the budget for 2023–24 in the Lok Sabha today, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman made a somewhat "political" error by substituting the word "polluting" for the actual word. This caused hilarity among the members of the ruling BJP–led NDA. The Sansad TV broadcast omitted depicting how the Opposition responded. "Vehicle replacement is an important ongoing policy," she said, "Replacing the old political... oh, sorry...," and she paused. Laughter ensued. "I know!," she said with a smile, corrected herself, and stressed the word "polluting" in place of "political" multiple times as she continued on, speaking about replacing old vehicle

Shashi Tharoor Hits Back At BJP Over Pervez Musharraf Tweet, Asks This: Deets Inside!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALFebruary 6, 20230

Shashi Tharoor, a leader of the opposition Congress party, questioned why the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) engaged in negotiations and signed a joint statement with former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf if he was an "anathema to all patriotic Indians." Shashi Tharoor made his remarks when he was defending his use of the phrase "real force for peace" in response to criticism from the BJP for endorsing the killing of the former military dictator of Pakistan. “Question to BJP leaders frothing at the mouth: if Musharraf was anathema to all patriotic Indians, why did the BJP government negotiate a ceasefire with him in 2003 & sign the joint Vajpayee-Musharraf statement of 2004? Was he not seen as a credible peace partner then?” Tharoor said in his tweet. Earlier, Shashi Tharoor h

Bharat Jodo Yatra Rebrands Rahul Gandhi, But Congress Still Needs An Electorally Viable Face

Sayani ChakrabortyJanuary 31, 20230

Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra came to an end with the raising of the Tricolor at Srinagar's Lal Chowk, but it is difficult to determine how much political traction he earned by visiting 14 states over the course of five months. Along the way, he gained a lot of attention, whether it was because of his white T-shirt and new beard, the fact that he walked more than 20 kilometres per day, the fact that he spoke with thousands of men, women, and children, the fact that he hugged and kissed many of them, the fact that he gave numerous interviews to the media, or the fact that he delivered his trademark fiery anti-BJP and "mohabbat ki dukan" speeches But at this time, the Congress party shrank shamefully in Gujarat, and its 18-vote victory margin in Himachal was too tight for comfort. ...

BJP Hopes To Win Nine Out Of Ten State Elections In 2023 With Less Opposition

Sayani ChakrabortyJanuary 23, 20230

The head of the BJP, JP Nadda, has set a lofty goal for his party: to sweep all nine state elections this year. Even before the 2024 Lok Sabha election campaign begins, such a landslide will demoralise the opposition. The BJP has also set its sights on 160 of the 543 seats in the Lok Sabha where it expects to face difficult competition. Such forethought is uncommon in Indian politics. This has made the BJP a formidable electoral force. It's easy to see why Nadda would want to concentrate on the assembly elections. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP have a stranglehold on national politics, the BJP has yet to achieve the same level of dominance in state assemblies. Clearly, the BJP hasn't ruled out the potential of local political developments maturing into a coordinated ...
