Society doesnt like anybody breaking own family: Ajit Pawar

Noting that society doesn’t like rifts in families, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has said he experienced it and has already admitted his mistake, an apparent reference to the contest between his wife Sunetra and cousin Supriya Sule in the recent Lok Sabha polls. This is the second time in less than a month that NCP leader Pawar publicly admitted he had made a mistake by fielding his wife against NCP (SP) leader Sule, the daughter of his uncle Sharad Pawar, and noted politics should not enter the home. The “admission” of mistake came against the backdrop of poor performance by the NCP, one of the constituents of the Mahayuti alliance in the state, in its maiden general elections after a split in the party. Addressing the Jansamman rally organised by the NCP in Gadchiroli city on Friday, Ajit Pawar tried to discourage party leader and state minister Dharmarao Baba Aatram’s daughter Bhagyashri from crossing over to the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP). Speculation is going around about a potential contest between Bhagyashri and her father in the upcoming state assembly elections. “Nobody loves a daughter more than her father. Despite giving her away in marriage in Belgaum, he (Aatram) stood by her in Gadchiroli and made her the president of Zilla Parishad. Now you (Bhagyashri) are set to fight against your own father. Is this right?” the deputy CM asked the gathering. “You should support your father and help him win because only he has the capacity and determination to develop the region. The society never accepts breaking one’s own family,” he said. This is like breaking the family, Ajit Pawar said, referring to the rift between Bhagyashri and her father over her political move. “Society doesn’t like this. I have experienced the same and accepted my mistake,” he said. The NCP led by Ajit Pawar suffered a severe drubbing in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, losing three of the four constituencies, including Baramati, it had contested. In contrast, the Sharad Pawar-led faction won eight out of the 10 seats it contested. Aatram, an MLA from Aheri in Gadchiroli district, has sided with Ajit Pawar. “Aatram’s daughter learnt politics from her father. Aatram was a ‘vastad’ (master) in politics who always kept one move close to his chest and played it at the appropriate time. Like the vastad, Aatram too doesn’t teach everything to his pupil,”Ajit Pawar quipped. Published By: Sudeep Lavania Published On: Sep 8, 2024 Source link via The Novum Times

Today in Politics: Key Developments to Watch

Waqf Amendment Bill in Lok Sabha

The Indian government is poised to introduce a significant amendment to the 1995 Waqf Act, aiming to increase transparency and accountability within Waqf boards. These boards manage charitable endowments and play a crucial role in the Muslim community. The proposed amendments include mandatory inclusion of women in these boards and require Waqf properties to be registered with district collectors to ensure accurate valuation.

This move addresses long-standing concerns about the opacity of Waqf boards’ operations and the challenges in legally contesting their decisions. With 30 Waqf boards across India managing properties valued at an estimated Rs 200 crore annually, these changes could have substantial impacts.

The amendment bill is expected to introduce around 40 changes to the current law, including land verification requirements before Waqf property declarations and re-evaluating disputed land claims. The government is determined to pass this bill during the current parliamentary session.

Election Commission’s Visit to Jammu and Kashmir

The Election Commission of India (ECI), led by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, is conducting a three-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir from August 8 to 10. The purpose of this visit is to assess the region’s readiness for the upcoming Assembly elections. This marks a pivotal moment, as these elections will be the first since the abrogation of Article 370 and the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories in 2019.

The ECI’s visit includes meetings with district election officers, police superintendents, and other key officials. The commission will also hold a review meeting in Jammu with enforcement agencies and brief the media on their findings. With the Supreme Court’s directive to hold elections by September 30, preparations are in full swing, including the relocation of officers to ensure impartiality.

Ajit Pawar’s Jan Samman Yatra

Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar is set to kick off the Jan Samman Yatra, a significant outreach initiative by the ruling Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), from Dindori in Nashik district on August 8. This campaign aims to consolidate support ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections, showcasing unity among the NCP and its allies in the ruling Mahayuti coalition, which includes the BJP and Shiv Sena.

The NCP leadership emphasizes that the yatra will extend beyond NCP strongholds, visiting constituencies held by allies to present a united front for the Mahayuti coalition. The initiative underscores the party’s commitment to securing a strong mandate in the forthcoming elections.

President Droupadi Murmu’s Visit to New Zealand

President Droupadi Murmu embarks on a two-day state visit to New Zealand, marking the first presidential visit from India to New Zealand in eight years. Invited by Governor-General Cindy Kiro, President Murmu’s visit includes meetings with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters.

This diplomatic engagement aims to strengthen bilateral relations between India and New Zealand, with a banquet hosted by Governor-General Kiro in honor of President Murmu’s visit. The trip underscores the importance of enhancing ties between the two nations, exploring areas of mutual interest and cooperation.

PM Modi Claims Previous Congress Regimes Planned 15% Budget Allocation for Minorities

Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the former Congress-led UPA government of advocating for a significant portion of the budget, around 15%, to be allocated exclusively for minorities. Speaking at a rally in Pimpalgaon, Nashik, Modi criticized this proposal, emphasizing his opposition to budgetary segregation based on religion. He pledged to safeguard against any such division and affirmed his commitment to maintaining reservation policies based on socio-economic criteria rather than religion.

Modi described the concept of dividing the budget along religious lines as perilous and accused the Congress of displaying bias towards minority communities. He recounted his strong dissent against then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s proposal during his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat, underscoring his steadfast stance against budgetary allocations based on religious grounds.

The rally, held in support of Mahayuti candidates ahead of the Phase 5 Lok Sabha polls, saw Modi endorsing Union Minister Bharati Pawar and Hemant Godse among others. He lambasted the Congress for allegedly prioritizing religious-based reservation over the interests of marginalized communities, citing Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s opposition to such practices.

Highlighting the achievements of his government, Modi contrasted the perceived insecurity during previous Congress regimes with the improved security situation under his leadership. He cited instances of terrorism and instability prevalent during Congress rule and credited his administration with implementing measures to enhance national security, including surgical strikes and air strikes against terrorist threats.

In a swipe at the opposition alliance, particularly the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena, Modi predicted a resounding victory for the BJP while questioning the electoral prospects of the Congress and its allies. He criticized the alliance, labeling the Shiv Sena as “fake” and accusing it of deviating from the principles espoused by its founder, late Bal Thackeray.

Modi condemned the alleged reluctance of the opposition parties to support initiatives such as the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and the revocation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. He accused the Shiv Sena of betraying its ideological legacy and likened its actions to those of the Congress, highlighting what he perceived as a disregard for Hindu sentiments and national interests.

In his address, Modi rallied support for the BJP while portraying the opposition alliance as a threat to the state’s welfare and integrity. He urged voters to reject the alleged opportunism of the opposition parties and reaffirmed his government’s commitment to serving the nation’s interests above all else.
