Published by Webster

Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday said the Opposition would oppose the proposed Delimitation Bill in its current form but could reconsider its stand if the Centre accepts amendments suggested by Opposition parties. Speaking to reporters in Nagpur ahead of the Shiv Sena (UBT)’s ‘Ram Raksha Andolan’ scheduled for July 18, Raut said the Opposition INDIA bloc would take a collective decision once the legislation is formally introduced in Parliament. The Centre is expected to introduce the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill during the Monsoon Session of Parliament, beginning July 20. The proposed legislation seeks to increase the strength of the Lok Sabha to 850 seats and initiate a fresh delimitation exercise.

Published by Webster

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday rubbished remarks made by Rahul Gandhi suggesting that the NDA government at the Centre could collapse within a year, describing the statement as little more than “daydreaming”, reported the PTI. Responding to questions from reporters, Fadnavis compared Gandhi’s comments to the well-known television serial Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne, which centred on fanciful dreams and unrealistic expectations. “There was once a popular television programme called Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne. His statement is nothing beyond that,” the Maharashtra chief minister remarked, the news agency reported. The BJP has alleged that Rahul Gandhi made the prediction during a meeting of the advisory council of the Congress Minority Department earlier this week, where he reportedly claimed that the Narendra Modi-led government would not survive beyond the coming year. Remarks during Nagpur logistics park launch CM Fadnavis made the comments while attending the inauguration of the Godam Logistics Park in Nagpur alongside Union minister Nitin Gadkari, as per the PTI. During the event, the chief minister highlighted the significance of the new logistics …
