BJP held a review meeting on 30 November-1 December to analyse its Jharkhand defeat. JMM's Maiya Samman scheme and poor performance of allies emerged as other reasons for loss.
PM Modi says Maharashtra witnessed 'triumph of development, good governance, and genuine social justice', promises BJP 'will work harder for Jharkhand's development'.
Many leaders have defected to JMM or announced independent candidature after being denied tickets. BJP is working hard to bring them around to avoid split in anti-incumbency vote.
The BJP's candidate list has sparked dissent within the party; Congress & JMM leaders say sidelining local leaders won't pay off for BJP in assembly elections.
The INDIA bloc partners will contest the upcoming assembly polls together, with Congress and JMM competing for 70 of the 81 seats, leaving 11 seats for RJD and Left parties.
The defeat in Haryana has weakened the party’s position in seat-sharing talks with allies in poll-bound Maharashtra & Jharkhand, where the INDIA bloc is unable to reach a consensus.
Champai Soren had resigned from the post of CM on 3 July, a day before JMM executive president Hemant Soren took oath as the 13th chief minister of Jharkhand on 4 July.
BJP and AJSU legislators walked out of the House as headcount for voting started. The BJP-led opposition has 24 legislators of the saffron party and three of the AJSU Party.
Hemant Soren, executive president of JMM, was released on bail on 28 June after having spent nearly five months in jail in connection with a money laundering case.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
