Homeless NDA Ministers

IMC WEB DESK NEW DELHI: Indian politics defines transition. Elections saw Modi as the PM heading NDA-led coalition government. Soon after, former Union Ministers asked to vacate their designated homes

NDA goes through changes

Indian politics witnessed weighty changes in 2024. On 7th June 2024, Narendra Modi confirmed the support of 293 MPs to Droupadi Murmu, the President of India. This marked Modi’s third term as Prime Minister and his first-time heading NDA-led coalition government with the Telugu Desam Party of Andhra Pradesh and Janata Dal (United) of Bihar emerging as two primary alliances.

A noticeable step taken by the Directorate of Estates (DoE) under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) surely makes up for a sweeping swap!

DoE served a notice to few of the former Union Ministers in Indian Politics to vacate their official accommodation in Delhi’s Lutyens’ by 10 July as requests for accommodation pour in from newly appointed ministers.

All Union ministers and ministers of state (MoS) in Indian politics are entitled to a ‘Type VIII’ bungalow in Delhi’s Lutyens’. Former ministers have to vacate such an accommodation when they lose their ministerial berth, according to the DoE rules.

NDA-led coalition government have removed thirty-seven formers ministers in from Narendra Modi’s Union Council of Ministers. Indian politics stands synonymous to shifting gears.

Significant leaders in Indian politics namely Smriti Irani, Arjun Munda, R.K Singh, Niranjan Jyoti, Sanjeev Balyan, and Rajeev Chandrashekhar, lost in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections. Others, such as Anurag Thakur, Narayan Rane, and Parshottam Rupala, won but did not get a ministerial berth this time. Some, such as Meenakshi Lekhi, did not get a ticket to contest the polls as the BJP replaced them with new faces. When the nation asks what is politics, well this is the face of real Indian Politics.

The DoE notice will be followed by a show cause notice eventually leading to an eviction notice.

Indian politics is often referred as the dance of democracy! While few ministers might still be showing unwillingness to vacate, there are others who have been upfront in changing their designated accommodation.

Former Education minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, who was served with an eviction notice by the Directorate of Estates recently, has also conveyed that he would be vacating the 27, Safdarjung Road bungalow.

Lutyens-Landmark in Indian Politics

Spread across an area of 23.60sqkm, The Lutyens Bungalow Zone is home to the luminaries of Indian Politics as well as high-net-worth individuals with about 3000 government-owned bungalows.

Serving NDA Union ministers were eligible for accommodation as allotted by the DoE. House committees of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha secretariats are the competent authorities to allot accommodation to MPs.

Members are entitled to a licence-fee free flat or hostel accommodation throughout their term of office.

Members are entitled to water supply without payment of charges up to 4000 kl per annum. They are eligible for electricity up to 50,000 units (25,000 units measure on light meter and 25,000 units on power meter or pooled together) per annum beginning from January 1 every year.

Other facilities include- washing of sofa covers and curtains every three months. Furniture within the monetary ceiling of Rs 60,000 in respect of durable furniture.

They are also allowed for a 25 per cent remission in the rent on account of any improvement or addition made to it or any additional service provided thereto by way of furniture, electrical equipment and other services.

Editor’s Note

Around 50 former union ministers and MPs from the last Lok Sabha have been sent notice by DoE to vacate their official accommodation. Home is always closest to ones heart and when it is in the poshest locality of the capital and earned through valid eligibility, the address caries a myriad of meaning for the resident. Apparently it is just might be a regular governmental procedure but delving deep, slight feeling uprootedness might haunt souls of Indian politics.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau Hyderabad, 19th Oct. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) launched a series of raids on Saturday at multiple locations in Andhra Pradesh, including the premises of former YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MP and Telugu film producer M.V.V. Satyanarayana, in connection with a money laundering investigation linked to a land grab case. Officials reported that at least five sites in Visakhapatnam, including those of Satyanarayana and an associated auditor, are under scrutiny. Satyanarayana, who lost the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from the Visakhapatnam constituency while contesting on a YSRCP ticket, has produced numerous Telugu films. The money laundering investigation is based on a police FIR filed on June 22, alleging that Satyanarayana and others unlawfully acquired government land intended for constructing a residential facility for senior citizens and orphans. The complainant, Ch. Jagadeeswarudu, who, along with his wife, promoted Haigreeva Infratech Projects Ltd., claimed that the Andhra Pradesh government allocated them 12.51 cents of land in Yendada village in 2008 for the project. Jagadeeswarudu alleged that he engaged an auditor named G. Venkateswara Rao, who then introduced him to Satyanarayana and a man named Gadde Brahmaji for the development of the government-sanctioned project. In 2020, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed, but Jagadeeswarudu contended that their signatures were “fabricated” and that they were coerced into signing blank papers, leading to the alleged misappropriation of the documents. He described the situation as a “criminal conspiracy” to seize their land, stating that the accused had “threatened” them with severe consequences. The ED is currently investigating these allegations, prompting the ongoing searches.

Top 10 Wealthiest Politicians in India: In Visuals

The Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR) has released a detailed report on the assets of Indian MLAs, analyzing data from 4,001 sitting members across 28 state assemblies and two Union Territories. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar stands as the richest MLA, boasting assets worth ₹1,413 crore. In stark contrast, a BJP MLA from West Bengal holds the least assets, valued at just ₹1,700. Notably, among the wealthiest MLAs, four are from Congress and three from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Explore the lists of Wealthiest politicians in India

Wealth Acceleration: Tracking the Meteoric Rise

The wealthiest politicians in India have seen a remarkable surge in their net worth, reflecting the nation’s economic growth and the lucrative opportunities available to those in power. According to compelling data visualized in recent infographics, the top 10 wealthiest politicians hold assets ranging from ₹661 crores to ₹1,413 crores.

Factors Affecting Affluence: Uncovering the Wealth Dynamics When examining the wealthiest politicians in India, an engaging correlation between age and wealth accumulation emerges. According to reports by the respected ADR and National Election Watch (NEW), the age group with the highest average assets among members of the 17th Lok Sabha is the 51-60 years bracket, boasting an average net worth of ₹14.67 crores. This group is closely followed by those aged 61-70 years, with an average net worth of ₹13.12 crores. Interestingly, the wealthiest politicians in India are not necessarily found in the oldest age groups. The average assets decline to ₹8.89 crores for those above 70 years. Furthermore, younger politicians in the 31-40 years age group possess an average net worth of ₹9.99 crores, while those aged 41-50 show off an average of ₹11.92 crores. This trend highlights the increasing influence of younger generations entering the political arena, potentially benefiting from inherited wealth, successful business ventures, or lucrative opportunities arising from their political connections early in their careers. Some Examples explaining the wealth of young and middle-aged politicians

Dushyant Chautala (31-40 years age group) Dushyant Chautala, a prominent young politician from Haryana and the Deputy Chief Minister, comes from a politically influential family. At a relatively young age, he has accumulated significant wealth, with assets valued at approximately ₹74 crores. His wealth is largely attributed to inherited assets and successful business ventures within the family.

Naveen Jindal (41-50 years age group) Naveen Jindal, an industrialist and former Member of Parliament, falls within the 41-50 years age group. He has a substantial net worth of around ₹132 crores. His wealth is primarily derived from his business empire, Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL), which he expanded significantly during his political career.

Does profession matter? The road to political power and wealth in India is often paved by diverse professional backgrounds. Many of India’s wealthiest politicians hail from the business and industrial sectors, where they have cultivated their entrepreneurial acumen and financial resources. Here are some examples of how their professions have influenced their wealth –

D.K. Shivakumar A senior Congress leader from Karnataka, he is known for his business interests in real estate, education, and hospitality. His wealth is significantly attributed to these ventures alongside his political career.

K.H. Puttaswamy Gowda A politician with substantial real estate investments, which have greatly contributed to his wealth. His financial success is tied to both his political influence and business acumen.

Priyakrishna A young Congress leader and one of the wealthiest politicians in Karnataka. His wealth largely comes from real estate and mining businesses.

Mangalprabhat Lodha A prominent real estate developer and BJP politician from Mumbai. He is the founder of Lodha Group, one of the largest real estate developers in India, which significantly contributes to his wealth.

The wealthiest politicians in India represent a complex intersection of power, influence, and financial might. As the nation grapples with issues of inequality and economic disparity, the role and responsibilities of these affluent political figures will remain a subject of intense public discourse and scrutiny. Understanding the trends, factors, and implications surrounding their wealth can help us navigate the intricate dynamics shaping India’s political and economic landscape. Ensuring transparency, accountability, and ethical governance is essential to maintaining the public’s trust and upholding the values of democracy.

Budget 2024 Highlights, New Tax Regime Slabs, Income Tax & More

This is the Interim budget 2024 which is presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Nirmala Sitharaman presented her 7th budget in parliament.

In the budget 2024, which came just after the election results, the government has also paid the price for the ‘support’ of the allies. Special packages were given to the Bihar government and the Andhra Pradesh government.

At the same time, new employment opportunities have been opened to address the discontent among the youth who expressed their dissatisfaction in the Lok Sabha elections.

However, by increasing the capital gains tax on stock market investors, the burden on the middle class, already suffering from inflation, has been increased further.

In the new tax system, a slight relief has been provided by increasing the standard deduction from ₹50,000 to ₹75,000. Additionally, changes have been made to the income tax slab.

Chandrababu Naidu’s Role in the NDA With INDIA Bloc Buzz

Chandrababu Naidu, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader, made recent remarks amid uncertainty regarding the composition of the next union cabinet, which drew widespread attention. Let us go into the details. Chandrababu Naidu, who won convincingly in the Andhra Pradesh Lok Sabha and Assembly elections, reaffirmed his support for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) during his visit to Delhi on Wednesday.

Naidu’s Statement

Naidu’s statement comes amid speculation of a possible collaboration between the opposition INDIA bloc and the NDA, given the latter’s slim margin of seats in the Lok Sabha elections. Naidu’s attendance at the NDA meeting is significant in light of ongoing discussions about government formation and coalition dynamics.

Naidu’s Demands and Expectations from the NDA

According to sources, Naidu, aware of his party’s importance to the BJP, has specific expectations, including the Lok Sabha Speaker’s seat and one cabinet position for every three MPs. The TDP’s strong performance in both the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections has established Naidu as a prominent figure in the political landscape, notably in Andhra Pradesh.

Impact of TDP’s Victory on Coalition Dynamics

The TDP’s significant number of seats in the Lok Sabha adds weight to its influence within the NDA and potentially reshapes coalition dynamics at the national level. Naidu wasted no time in criticizing the outgoing YSR Congress Party, highlighting alleged disruptions to constitutional systems during their tenure.

Heading 9: TDP’s Role as a Potential Kingmaker

With the BJP falling short of its electoral expectations and a stronger opposition, the TDP’s role as a potential kingmaker becomes more visible. As coalition negotiations progress, Naidu’s stance and demands will be critical in forming the parameters of the next union administration. Opposition leaders have hinted at reaching out to Naidu and other prospective allies in their efforts to form a coalition.

Challenges and Considerations for the INDIA Bloc

However, given their previous political affiliations, potential allies like as Naidu and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar are still viewed with suspicion.Nitish Kumar’s presence in Delhi, which coincides with Naidu’s visit, complicates the ongoing political negotiations and alliance-building attempts.

Key Figures in Coalition Politics

Both Naidu and Nitish Kumar’s decisions and allegiances hold significant implications for the formation and stability of the next union government. As political actors navigate through coalition negotiations and alliance-building, the evolving landscape of Indian politics continues to unfold, with Naidu and Nitish Kumar occupying central roles in this dynamic process.

Bulls to tighten grip on D-Street after exit polls project 350+ for BJP; Nifty 50 eyes 23,400 on June 3, say analysts

Bulls are likely to tighten their grip on D-Street in the next market session on Monday, June 3, after most of the exit polls predicted on Saturday that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA may win over 350 of the 543 seats in the Lok Sabha polls. Market analysts are bullish on Nifty 50's upcoming rally and said BJP's clear victory, as predicted by exit polls, is likely to remove election-related jitters among investors. Several exit polls showed a massive win for the BJP in Karnataka, the state it lost to the Congress just few months back. Meanwhile, India TV-CNX poll said the Chandrababu Naidu-led TDP and the NDA is likely to sweep Andhra Pradesh polls.

An exit poll is a post-election survey which tends to predict the mood of the nation. It's an opinion poll showing how many seats a political party will likely win. It must be noted that exit polls are not same as the official elections results. The official Lok Sabha Election Results 2024 will be declared on June 4 by the Election Commission of India.

Most of the exit polls projected the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) could win a two-thirds majority in the 543-member lower house of parliament, where 272 is needed for a simple majority. A two-thirds majority will allow the government to bring in far-reaching amendments to the Constitution. The opposition "INDIA" alliance led by Rahul Gandhi's Congress party was projected to win between 125 to 165 seats.

Video from AP falsely connected to violence over BJP votes in Kannauj

The phase 4 of the Lok Sabha elections took place in several parts of the nation on May 13, 2024. 96 seats in 10 states and union territories like Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir etc. were up for polls in this phase. Owing to the voting going on in the country, a video was posted in that context on Instagram which claims that violence occurred at one of the polling booths in Kannauj. The fight amongst the people shown in the video was allegedly a result of not voting for Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). The viral post claiming polling booth violence in Kannauj over BJP votes (source: Instagram) link

Truth

The video in the viral post shows scenes of a polling booth where inscriptions on the walls were written in a seemingly South Indian language. This cue gives a hint of the place of fight not being Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh.

The walls in the video show inscriptions in a South Indian language On further reverse image search, the video was found to be from Andhra Pradesh. An article by NDTV reported that the video from Andhra Pradesh features A Sivakumar, Tenali's YSR Congress Party MLA slapping a voter in the booth. The fight allegedly happened when the voter being hit in the video opposed YSRCP MLA's attempt to skip the cue for voting.

"Today in Politics: PM Modi's Campaign in Andhra Pradesh and Congress's Focus on Family Strongholds"

As the electoral fervor intensifies across India, today’s political landscape sees Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarking on a campaign trail in Andhra Pradesh, while the Congress Party strategizes its stronghold defense in Uttar Pradesh. Let’s delve into the highlights of the day’s political agenda.

PM Modi’s Foray into Andhra Pradesh

In a strategic move to bolster BJP’s presence in southern territories, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address a series of rallies in Andhra Pradesh. Partnering with former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and actor-politician K Pawan Kalyan’s JanaSena Party (JSP), the BJP aims to make significant inroads into the state’s political landscape.

PM Modi’s itinerary includes rallies in Karimnagar, Warangal, and Rajampet, along with a notable roadshow in Vijayawada. Additionally, he will pay homage at the revered Sri Raja Rajeshwara Swamy Temple in Karimnagar.

Although the BJP’s footprint in Andhra Pradesh remains modest, recent alliances with TDP and JSP signify a strategic maneuver to challenge the incumbent YSR Congress Party’s dominance.

Congress’s Defense Strategy in Uttar Pradesh

Meanwhile, the Congress Party gears up to defend its family bastions in Uttar Pradesh, specifically Amethi and Raebareli. Following a delayed announcement of candidates, Priyanka Gandhi, the party’s general secretary, is poised to spearhead the campaign in these crucial constituencies.

In a notable move, Rahul Gandhi, former MP from Amethi, shifts his electoral focus to Raebareli. Kishorilal Sharma, a trusted aide of the Gandhi family, steps into the fray in Amethi, marking a significant transition in the electoral landscape.

Priyanka Gandhi’s proactive engagement with party workers underscores the party’s concerted efforts to reclaim its strongholds. With veteran leaders Ashok Gehlot and Bhupesh Baghel appointed as observers, the Congress aims to optimize its campaign strategy for maximum impact.

Repolling in Barmer

In a development highlighting the integrity of the electoral process, repolling is scheduled in Rajasthan’s Barmer Lok Sabha seat due to breaches of vote confidentiality. The Election Commission’s decisive action underscores its commitment to upholding electoral integrity.

As the political arena brims with activity, each maneuver and campaign rally shape the contours of India’s electoral landscape. Stay tuned for further updates as the nation marches towards the culmination of the electoral process.
