The development comes at a time when Jharkhand CM is fighting corruption allegations over the allotment of mining lease. Attempts to destablise the government, says JMM.
The bypoll in Dumka was necessitated by the resignation of CM Hemant Soren, who contested from 2 seats in 2019. Barhait went to bypolls after incumbent MLA died.
Soren targets Centre for its decision to deduct Rs 1,417-cr electricity dues from Jharkhand’s account with RBI, warns against taking ‘undue advantage’ of state's 'tolerance'.
Hemant Soren requested Narendra Modi for a tribal univeristy for his state, and was in turn assured that the rights of tribal communities would be protected.
Jharkhand verdict shows most candidates who changed loyalties just before polls were rejected by voters. But those who switched parties much before have won.
Hemant Soren faced ignominy in 2014, after losing from his family turf of Dumka, while the party won a mere 2 seats in the Lok Sabha elections this year.
JMM-led alliance ahead in 44 seats, while BJP's leading in 26. Jharkhand could well become third state where BJP fails to get a majority on its own since Lok Sabha polls 2019.
After the latest round of counting of votes for Jharkhand assembly elections, Congress-JMM-RJD alliance has hit the majority mark of 41. BJP leading in 29 seats.
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?
