Mumbai: Ahead of a two-day review meeting, Maharashtra Congress unit chief Nana Patole on Friday said the maha vikas aghadi (MVA) seat-sharing talks will be held after the meeting as the party's main objective is to defeat the BJP. The MVA comprises Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UTT), Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress. It was in power in the state between 2019 and June 2020.

After this two-day review meeting of the Congress, the MVA meeting will brainstorm on the future strategy. Patole said the Congress is the only alternative to the BJP at the national level. He further said that during the seat-sharing talks, the views of MVA allies like Communist, Samajwadi Party (SP), Farmers and Workers Party will be taken into consideration. When asked about the meeting between his ally NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Gautam Adani, Patole said that his party has no personal enmity with industrialists, but the questions raised by Rahul Gandhi about the relationship between PM Narendra Modi and Adani should be answered.

Mumbai: Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi sees the Muslim League as secular, which does not have any Hindu members. There is no place for Hindus in Rahul Gandhi's love shop. When slogans of Khalistan Zindabad are raised in front of Rahul, he laughs. When slogans of 'Pakistan Zindabad' are raised in front of Rahul Gandhi in Karnataka, but it doesn't matter to him, what about his understanding of secularism? BJP MLA Nitesh Rane has said these things while retaliating to the statement made by Rahul Gandhi in America. Rahul Gandhi had described the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) in the US as a secular party, with which the Congress is in alliance. Reacting to the statement, Nitesh Rane said in a press conference today (June 2) that Rahul Gandhi also means the same thing as secularism means to the Muslim League. Rahul's status is limited to an understanding of the politics of the Muslim League. Rane said that only Muslims have been joining the Muslim League, which does not have a single Hindu member, in what sense Rahul is calling it secular. Nitish Rane said that Rahul only understands the politics of Muslim League and Muslim people. There is no place for Hindus in his love shop. Hinduism has no significance. This has been proved once again. Rahul Gandhi, who loves only Muslims, Rahul Gandhi who doesn't need Hindus, does Uddhav Thackeray accept all this? Can Uddhav Thackeray tolerate Rahul Gandhi going to America and disrespecting Hindu religion, disrespecting the country?

Tremendous anger among people on way MVA govt was toppled: Chavan
Senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan on Friday said there is tremendous anger among people over the manner in which the Maha Vikas Aghadi government was brought down in Maharashtra in June last year. The Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government, which comprised the Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and Nationalist Congress Party, fell after a rebellion by Eknath Shinde, who went on to become chief minister with the support of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Addressing a press conference, Chavan said a two-day review meeting of all 48 Lok Sabha seats in Maharashtra was assessing the political situation and how the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra and the party's win in Karnataka had impacted Maharashtra politics at the ground level. We will discuss where the Congress stands and how the MVA can win maximum seats. The fight in Maharashtra will be between the MVA and the BJP-Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena alliance. Seat sharing will be tough but it will be done, the former chief minister said. He

Kejriwal to call on CM Stalin over Delhi ordinance today
The CM was speaking to reporters at the airport after arriving in Chennai post his nine-day trip to Singapore and Japan to attract investments. NEW DELHI/CHENNAI:Chief Minister M K Stalin on Wednesday said the DMK will take steps to coordinate the opposition ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. The CMs remark comes just a day ahead of his scheduled meeting with Delhi and Punjab CMs, Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann, in Chennai on Thursday over the Delhi ordinance. The Delhi CM will meet his Tamil Nadu counterpart as part of his effort to garner support from opposition parties on the ordinance that seeks to restore the Lieutenant-Governors control over the transfer and postings of bureaucrats in the national capital. Asked whether meeting with AAP leaders was also part of coordinating the opposition, the DMK chief said, That effort is already on.This is not new. DMK will also be involved in it wholeheartedly. The CM was speaking to reporters at the airport after arriving in Chennai post his nine-day trip to Singapore and Japan to attract investments. Kejriwal calls ordinance fight semi-final to LS polls The CM, responding to a question on I-T searches at relatives or individuals linked to minister V Senthil Balaji, charged BJP of trying to intimidate opposition parties using agencies like Income Tax, CBI and ED. Stalin said investment proposals of over Rs 3,000 crore have been signed during the trip. Asked about Sengol being installed in the new Parliament building and if it signified Tamil pride, the CM said that would have been the case if it was truly from the Chola dynasty as claimed. The Sengol drooped following the way in which our women wrestlers were assaulted, the CM said, referring to their protest demanding the arrest of Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for alleged sexual harassment. The Delhi CM is visiting Tamil Nadu two days after he met CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury, who extended support over the ordinance issue. The centre had on May 19 promulgated the ordinance to create an authority for the transfer and posting of officers in Delhi, soon after the Supreme Court handed over the control of services, excluding police, public order and land, in Delhi to the elected government. The ordinance has become a political flashpoint between the centre and opposition parties ahead of the 2024 LS elections, with Kejriwal urging all parties to vote against the ordinance in the Rajya Sabha. He has projected the fight as a semi-final to 2024. To defeat the ordinance in the upper house, the AAP needs support from Congress, which has 31 members. So far, Kejriwal has received support from his Bihar, West Bengal, and Telangana counterparts. RJDs Tejashwi Yadav, former Maharashtra CM and Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray, and NCP chief Sharad Pawar also extended support. The Congress is yet to make its stand clear on the issue. Though Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi met Congress leaders from Delhi and Punjab, they have conveyed their strong reservations about backing the AAP on the issue. Delhi and Punjab Congress leaders hold AAP responsible for the partys decimation in both states.
Sena (UBT) launches scathing attack on nine years of BJP govt, calls PM Modi 'monarch'
The party in its mouthpiece 'Saamana' wrote that Modi had installed the 'Sengol' as a symbol of ransfer of power and established his monarchy. MUMBAI:In a searing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Shiv Sena (UBT) on Wednesday said citizens of the country were beset by several problems during the nine years of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government led by him, and said if this rule ends quickly, it will be good for the people. In an editorial in party mouthpiece 'Saamana', the Shiv Sena (UBT) said PM Modi on Sunday installed in the new Parliament building the 'Sengol' (sceptre) as a symbol of the transfer of power and established his monarchy, even as the 'Rajdharma' (duty of a king) is not being followed and corruption is being brushed under the carpet. According to Modi and his blind followers, India came into existence after 2014. The party, which had no role in the freedom struggle or building the nation has been in power for the last nine years. The Modi government's nine years of rule proved to be a nightmare for the country and people, and it will bode well for them if this rule comes to an end at the earliest, it said. In these nine years, the Modi government resorted to note-ban twice and the experiment failed. Unemployment increased during the rule. There was a rise in black money and the promise to provide jobs remained unfulfilled. Black money was used for bringing down governments led by BJP's rival parties in states, it alleged. PM Modi's blind followers believe that India's stature rose due to all of this, the party added. Modi installed the Sengol as a symbol of transfer of power and established his monarchy. How will the stature of the country rise due to this monarchy? the Uddhav Thackeray-led party asked. Modi on Sunday asserted the significance of Sengol as a symbol of the transfer of power saying that the sceptre will continue to inspire the parliamentarians in their duty. A ceremonial sceptre, 'Sengol', which is said to have been given to India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru to symbolise the transfer of power in August 1947 by the British, was kept in the Nehru Gallery of the Allahabad Museum and was installed in the Lok Sabha chamber of the new Parliament. Made of silver with a coat of gold, Sengol was originally used to mark the handing over power from one king to another during the Chola dynasty in Tamil Nadu.
Ordinance row: 'Kejriwal is openly seeking enhanced powers over services', claims Ajay Maken
Taking to Twitter, Congress' Maken alleged that Kejriwal aims to take control over the vigilance department and is challenging decades of established governance norms. NEW DELHI: Congress leader Ajay Maken on Wednesday fired a fresh salvo at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, claiming he was seeking enhanced powers over administrative services to stall probes into corruption allegations against his administration, but AAP dismissed his criticism as the view of an individual and not his party. The Aam Aadmi Party, which is trying to rally support from opposition parties over the face-off with the Centre on the services issue, said it has sought a meeting with the Congress' central leadership to discuss the matter Taking to Twitter, Maken alleged that Kejriwal's true motives are exposed as he aims to take control over the vigilance department and is challenging decades of established governance norms. Investigations into scandals like liquor-gate, Sheeshmahal (his lavish 171-crore residence violating MPD 2021 rules), Power Subsidy scam, buses purchase scam, and others will reveal the extent of corruption within his administration. And this is what he wants to stop, the Congress leader alleged. Kejriwal is openly seeking enhanced powers over services, aiming to take control over the vigilance department and challenging decades of established governance norms. He conveniently downplays his true intentions, Maken tweeted. Kejriwal's true motives are exposed as he openly seeks enhanced powers over services, aiming to take control over the vigilance department and challenging decades of established governance norms. He conveniently downplays his true intentions. Investigations into scandals like https://t.co/Ca0HypCCth Ajay Maken (@ajaymaken) May 31, 2023 Asked about it, the Aam Aadmi Party said, This is the statement of an individual. What is the stand of the Congress party on this? We sought time from the national Congress already to discuss the matter. Congress leaders from Delhi and Punjab met the party leadership here on Monday and suggested not supporting the Aam Aadmi Party on the Delhi services ordinance issue, sources had said earlier. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge had convened separate meetings of leaders from the two states for seeking their opinion on the matter.Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi was also present during the meetings. Let's not forget that the powers Kejriwal seeks were intentionally vested in the Central Government by eminent leaders like Ambedkar, Nehru, Patel, Shastri, Narasimha Rao, Vajpayee, and Manmohan Singh to prevent a multiplicity of authority in the National Capital Territory, Maken said on Wednesday. Kharge has reportedly conveyed to Kejriwal he will take a call on the matter after having a word with state party leaders. The sources said the Congress leadership will also meet party leaders from other states before deciding its position. The Centre on May 19 promulgated the ordinance to create an authority for the transfer and posting of Group-A officers in Delhi, which the AAP government had called a deception with the Supreme Court verdict on control of services. The ordinance came a week after the Supreme Court handed over the control of services in Delhi, excluding police, public order and land, to the elected government. Transfer and postings of all officers of the Delhi government were under the executive control of the lieutenant governor before the top court's May 11 verdict. Bihar Chief Minister and JD (U) leader Nitish Kumar, his deputy and RJD leader Tejaswi Yadav, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief leader Uddhav Thackeray, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury have expressed solidarity with AAP on the matter.
After 2024, there will be a coalition government in country, says Sanjay Raut
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on May 31 said that there would be a coalition government in the country after 2024. You all have to come forward to save democracy in this country. What is wrong with what Rahul Gandhi has said? The way central agencies are being misused, no one has done such a thing in any country in the world. Doing politics in this country has become even more terribleafter 2024, there will be a coalition government in this country, says Uddhav Thackeray faction leader Sanjay Raut.
Devendra Fadnavis was going to be chief minister and deputy CM under his junior: Sanjay Raut
Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UTT) leader Sanjay Raut is a constant attack on the Shinde-Fadnavis government in Maharashtra. On Tuesday too, he attacked Devendra Fadnavis, calling him the most disgruntled leader in the state. Sanjay Raut said that Fadnavis was going to take oath as the CM of Maharashtra. But he has been made deputy chief minister under a junior person in politics. Raut's statement comes at a time when there are claims of dissatisfaction in the Eknath Shinde camp. This claim has been made in Shiv Sena (UTT) mouthpiece Saamana. Not only this, Raut also said that he was changed from commissioner to constable. It has also been claimed that 22 Shiv Sena MLAs and 9 MPs are feeling suffocated there. According to this, these people are being treated step-motherly by the BJP there. It has also been said that these people can change sides again. In the editorial of Saamana, MLAs and MPs of the Shinde faction have been described as chickens imprisoned in the BJP camp. It is also written that it cannot be said when they can be slaughtered. After this claim of the Uddhav faction, Fadnavis has retaliated. He has described the entire Shiv Sena of the Uddhav faction as dissatisfied. He said that the entire Uddhav faction is dissatisfied. There is discontent like nowhere else. Go and ask Devendra Fadnavis how satisfied he is. He was going to become CM and is deputy chief minister under his junior. Can such a person be satisfied, no? In fact, he was changed from commissioner to constable. Raut did not stop here, but went to the extent of saying that the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra is a sad person. We will see what is happening in our party. Those who wanted to go went and where they are now, live peacefully. We are happy in our party and satisfied with the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray.

Arvind Kejriwal to meet MK Stalin, Soren for support against Centre's ordinance
NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will meet with his counterparts from Tamil Nadu (MK Stalin) and Jharkhand (Hemant Soren) on June 1 and June 2, respectively. After meetings with several opposition leaders in the Delhi government's conflict with the Centre over the ordinance to annul the Supreme Court ruling favouring the Delhi government over control of services in the national capital. When the related bill is introduced in Parliament, Kejriwal hopes to get the backing of opposition leaders to block the Center's attempt to turn the Ordinance into a law. The AAP government has urged that the Centre's May 19 promulgation of the Ordinance to establish an Authority for the Transfer and Posting of Group-A Officers in Delhi violates the Supreme Court's ruling on control of services. The Ordinance was passed a week after the Supreme Court gave Delhi's elected government jurisdiction over all services except for police, public safety, and land. In order to transfer Group-A officials from the DANICS cadre and to conduct disciplinary actions against them, it proposes to establish a National Capital Civil Service Authority. Within six months of the Ordinance's promulgation, the Centre must submit a bill to Parliament to replace it. Before the top court's ruling on May 11, all Delhi government officers were subject to the lieutenant governor's executive supervision when it came to transfers and postings. Following a meeting with Kejriwal last week, the chief ministers of Telangana, West Bengal, the Shiv Sena (UBT), Uddhav Thackeray, the NCP, and K Chandrashekar Rao have all pledged their support for the AAP on this matter. Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar and the leader of the JD (U), together with his deputy Tejashwi Yadav and the leader of the RJD, have all offered their support to Kejriwal in this regard. They has sought time from Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and party leader Rahul Gandhi to seek their support against the Ordinance. CM Kejriwal played a new bet to persuade Congress!

Are 22 MLAs and 9 MPs going to leave CM Shinde's side and go back to 'Uddhav'?
Mumbai: The year 2022 was a tumultuous year for Maharashtra politics, with the Shiv Sena breaking up into two factions. One is the Shiv Sena led by Uddhav Thackeray and the other is the Shiv Sena of the Eknath Shinde faction. Now once again there seems to be a stir in Maharashtra politics. Shiv Sena MP Vinayak Raut has made a shocking claim on Monday. Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde on Monday said that 22 MLAs of the party are unhappy with the BJP and are preparing to quit the party. At the same time, he has claimed that 9 MPs are also in touch with us. Who are ready to come back to us. He said that all these MLAs and MPs are very upset there, because no work is being done there. No development work is being done in the constituency of the disgruntled MLAs and MPs. CM Shinde is also not listening to them. Earlier, Shinde faction MP Gajanan Kirtikar had also accused the BJP of discrimination. He had said that the BJP was not treating Shinde Shiv Sena properly.

Shiv Sena condemns 'unscientific' Parliament inauguration ceremony
NEW DELHI: The inauguration of the new Parliament building was criticised by Saamna, the official publication of the Uddhav Thackeray group, who claimed that only Prime Minister Narendra Modi was permitted to take centre stage. Raising questions on the functioning of Parliament, the mouthpiece questioned the efficiency of Parliament by claiming that although under former Prime Minister Pandit Nehru, Lok Sabha ran for at least 140 days a year, it currently only lasts for 50 days. The 'Saamna' blasted the Centre, saying, The new Parliament House's opening was held with great splendour. The message of this ceremony was Modi is everything and only Modi. Modi did not permit anyone else's shadow to show up in any of the images or videos. That's just how Modi is. If the President had opened the new Parliament House, it would have included the Speaker of the Lok Sabha and the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, as well as Prime Minister Modi in the centre and Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge on his right. Such an image wouldn't have diminished Modi's majesty if it had come from the temple of democracy. Modi would have given the impression that he had changed if he had carried out all of these actions, but how would he still be Modi if he had not? The editorial further salmmed BJP of putting locks on the old Parliament where the Prime Minister had taken oath in 2014. When Modi was elected as the nation's prime minister in 2014, he said, The Constitution of the country is the only holy book. That holy book will be respected by our government. When Modi first entered the Parliament to take his seat as prime minister, he was overcome with emotion and knelt on the Parliament's stairs while sobbing. He pledged to uphold the dignity of this Parliament and to make it stronger. However, he shut the same Parliament in just eight years and, at his request, erected a new Parliament edifice. As per report, he planned the opening ceremony in the manner of a 'Maharaj' performing the Vastu of his castle. PM Modi released a coin of 75 rupees, know from where you can get it? PM Modi said in the new Parliament building- 'Today's date is an indelible signature on the frontal of history'
'If entire opposition unites, we will defeat Modi', Congress accepts Nitish Kumar's invitation
New Delhi: In view of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, the opposition has intensified its preparations. The opposition is trying not to return to power at any cost. For this, all the leaders of opposition parties are meeting each other, but how much impact will this meeting have? This will be known only in the coming time. A meeting of opposition parties has been held in Bihar next month. In which Congress is also going to join. This was confirmed by Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in the Lok Sabha. Nitish Kumar has extended an invitation to attend the meeting of opposition parties to be held in Patna, which the Congress has accepted. Ranjan further said that once the opposition comes together, Narendra Modi will get a chance to defeat him in the elections. We have been telling this to other opposition parties from day one, but some in the opposition agree with it and some do not agree. We are seeing some regional parties which have a problem in coming together with the Congress. On behalf of the Congress, our leader Mallikarjun Kharge had given the responsibility to Nitish Kumar to call whomever he wants to call. Ranjan said modi will not be able to return to power if the opposition unites. He further said that Nitish Kumar has called, Congress will go. If he calls other regional parties, they will go. It depends on them, but the Congress has no problem. That is why when Nitish has invited everyone to meet together in Patna, the Congress has accepted the invitation. The opposition general meeting is scheduled to be held in Patna on June 12, in which apart from the Congress, Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, former CM Uddhav Thackeray and many other veterans can attend.

NCP chief backsDelhi CM against Centres ordinance
Kejriwal says hell meet Kharge & Rahul Gandhi to seek support to defeat the bill in Rajya Sabha MUMBAI: Out to drum up opposition support against the Centres ordinance on the primacy of the Lieutenant-Governor in matters of postings and bureaucrats transfers, CM Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday found solace in the company of Sharad Pawar. The NCP chief has promised to support AAP in its fight. Kejriwal told the media that he would meet Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi to seek their support as well. The Delhi CM was in Mumbai whipping up non-BJP parties support to defeat the ordinance that is likely to be tabled as a bill in Parliament. The ordinance vests the right of appointment of administrative officers in the L-G rather than the elected government. If people vote for a non-BJP government, then that party resorts to three methods (to topple that government) -- purchase MLAs from the ruling side, show fear of Enforcement Directorate (ED) and CBI or promulgate an ordinance to ensure the elected government is not able to function, Kejriwal alleged. On Wednesday, Kejriwal met Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and earned his support. Kejriwal said AAP was not fighting against any party, but to save democracy in the country. He said non-BJP parties can defeat the BJP in Rajya Sabha by declining their support for the bill because the BJP does not have a majority in the Upper House. We can show the BJP its place. This is the fight to save the federal structure of the country. We all need to be united against the BJP. The bill in the Rajya Sabha is like a semi-final for the opposition. If the BJP fails to get the bill passed, then it is sure that Modi and BJP will not come to power. Therefore, the Opposition needs to stand united in a crucial fight for the larger interest of the country, Kejriwal said. 8 Supreme Court , 8 Ordinance SC Sharad Pawar NCP Bill Rajya Sabha pic.twitter.com/C0SZRbe2Pa AAP (@AamAadmiParty) May 25, 2023 He said when he was back in the national capital, he would seek the appointment of Congress chief Kharge and Rahul Gandhi. He said they have been fighting to restore the rights of the Delhi government for the last eight years. The Supreme Court granted us the right to appoint administrative officers, but within a few days, the BJP-led government at the Centre snatched our right by issuing an ordinance. We will continue our fight against the tyranny of the BJP. All non-BJP-ruled states, including Maharashtra, are the victims of the BJPs policies, he added. While extending his support, Sharad Pawar assured Kejriwal that he would try to persuade other leaders to support Kejriwal. We are with AAP in its fight. Parliamentary democracy is in trouble and danger. Efforts are being made topple elected governments by misusing Central agencies. The mandate of the elected governments is being reduced by giving more powers to the Centrally-appointed governors and L-Gs, said Pawar said.

All eyes on BJD as 19 opposition parties set to boycott new Parliament building inauguration
A senior BJD leader told this paper that Odisha chief minister and BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik is yet to take a decision in this regard, in two to three days. BHUBANESHWAR: With 19 Opposition political parties boycotting the inauguration of the new Parliament building, built as a part of India's Central Vista plan, all eyes are on the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) party in anticipation of its decision over the same. A senior BJD leader told this paper that Odisha chief minister and BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik is yet to take a decision in this regard, in two to three days. The opposition parties have criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's plan to inaugurate the parliament building himself, sidelining President Droupadi Murmu. The schedule of the inauguration on the birth anniversary of VD Savarkar has also come in for strong criticism. The issue has assumed importance for the BJD as the opposition parties are demanding that the inauguration of the Parliament house be done bythe President of India, who is from the tribal-dominated Mayurbhanj district in Odisha. The chief minister had recently skipped the swearing-in ceremony of the Congress government in Karnataka which was attended by several opposition stalwarts. Nineteen opposition parties, including the Congress, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Trinamool Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Dravida MunnetraKazhagam (DMK) and Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena have announced their decision to boycott the function.

Services row: Kejriwal to meet Mamata, Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray this week to seek support
The Centre promulgated an ordinance on Friday to create a National Capital Civil Service Authority for the transfer of IAS and DANICS cadre officers and disciplinary proceedings against them. NEW DELHI: Locked in a bitter tussle with the Centre over the control of administrative services, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal will meet the chiefs of the TMC, Shiv Sena (UBT) and the NCP this week seeking their support. Kejriwal on Sunday said he would meet his West Bengal counterpart and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata on Tuesday. And, according to AAP sources, he will meet former Maharashtra chief minister and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai on Wednesday and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar on May 25. Earlier in the day, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav met Kejriwal at his residence here and assured their complete support to him on the issue. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, JD(U) leader Kumar assured that he would urge other opposition parties also to come in support of Kejriwal in the matter. The Centre promulgated an ordinance on Friday to create a National Capital Civil Service Authority for the transfer of IAS and DANICS cadre officers and disciplinary proceedings against them. This came a week after the Supreme Court handed over the control of services, excluding those related to police, public order and land, to the elected government in Delhi. An ordinance has to be ratified by Parliament within six months. For this, the Centre will have to bring a bill for its passage in both Houses of Parliament. Kejriwal said if the bill is defeated in Rajya Sabha, it will send out the message that the BJP will lose the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. It will be the semi-final of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the AAP national convenor told reporters. Kejriwal told reporters that he will personally reach out to the chiefs of all the opposition parties to seek their support in the matter so that any bill brought by the Centre to replace the ordinance is defeated in Rajya Sabha. Day after tomorrow (Tuesday), I have a meeting with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata at 3 pm. After that, I will meet every party's president to seek their formal support for defeating the bill when it comes in Rajya Sabha, Kejriwal said. I have also requested Nitish Kumar ji to talk to all the (opposition) parties in this regard, he added.

News The new team of ministers will have a cabinet meeting after the oath taking ceremony, where they are expected to approve the rolling out of five guarantees promised in the Congress manifesto. The Congress has released its first list of cabinet ministers for the newly formed Karnataka government. The All India Congress Committee has cleared eight legislators who will be ministers of cabinet rank. They are G Parameshwara, KH Muniyappa, KJ George, MB Patil, Satish Jarkiholi, Priyank Kharge, Ramalinga Reddy and BZ Zameer Ahmed Khan. All the ministers will be sworn-in by Karnataka Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot at the massive ceremony organised at Kanteerava stadium at 12.30 pm on Saturday, May 20. The new team will have a cabinet meeting after the oath taking ceremony, where they are expected to approve the rolling out of five guarantees promised in the manifesto.

Siddaramaiah swearing-in: 20 national leaders invited, Cong leaves out KCR, Pinarayi
News The guest list included Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren. Facebook The Congress in Karnataka has invited as many as 20 national political leaders to the swearing-in ceremony of Siddaramaiah, who will be taking oath as the Chief Minister on Saturday, May 20. The Congress has invited Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren. It also includes prominent national leaders Uddhav Thackeray, Akhilesh Yadav, Sharad Pawar, Mehbooba Mufti, Sitaram Yechury, D Raja and Farooq Abdullah. The notable absentees from the guest list are Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy and Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. D Raja of the CPI, Thirumavalavan of the VCK, Jose K Mani from the Kerala Congress and Sadiq Ali Thangal from the IUML have been invited. Senior Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, party president Mallikarjun Kharge, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are also expected to be in attendance in Bengaluru. Karnataka Chief Minister designate Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister designate DK Shivakumar arrived in Delhi on Friday to meet and invite senior party leaders for the swearing-in ceremony scheduled on Saturday. The two leaders had met with all the Congress MLAs in a meeting held at the Indira Bhavan in Bengaluru on Thursday evening. The meeting put an end to speculation over the next CM after Siddaramaiah was unanimously chosen as the party leader. The ceremony will be held at the Kanteerava Stadium on Saturday afternoon and one lakh attendees are expected in Bengaluru for the event. A similar unity of opposition leaders was seen when HD Kumaraswamy took oath as the Chief Minister of Karnataka in 2018.
Mamata to skip Siddaramaiah's swearing-in, Stalin, Pawar among invitees
The Congress may be aiming to turn the swearing-in ceremony of Siddaramaiah into a platform to bring together Opposition leaders ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. NEW DELHI/BENGALURU: Though the Congress may be looking to turn the swearing-in ceremony of Siddaramaiah as a platform to bring together Opposition leaders ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, some prominent players may not be on board. Sources said the Congress invite includes UPA constituents with whom the party has a floor arrangement in Parliament. The swearing-in is due May 20. West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee will not be attending the swearing-in ceremony of Congress leader Siddaramaiah as the Karnataka CM and has designated party leader Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar for the programme, a Trinamool Congress leader said. Mamata, an important player in the anti-BJP camp, changed her stance towards Congress after its resounding victory in the Karnataka elections. Banerjee signalled at supporting Congress in states where it is prominent. She also said that Congress should make some sacrifices and extend similar support to other political parties. The CM designate of Karnataka Mr Siddaramaiah & his other colleagues called to personally invite @AITCofficial Chairperson & Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee for swearing-in tomorrow She conveyed her best wishes & designated @kakoligdastidar #TMC Deputy Leader in LS to attend ceremony Derek O'Brien | ' (@derekobrienmp) May 19, 2023 Another crucial player in the anti-BJP grouping is Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, who is likely to attend the ceremony, said a senior party leader. It would be a powerful moment in politics with opposition parties coming together on a platform which demolished the BJPs hardcore narrative of hate politics. Akhilesh ji has supported Mamata Banerjees idea, said the SP leader. However, BSP chief Mayawati is not invited, sources said. Congress has not extended an invitation to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. Sinking their differences, both AAP and Congress have been actively making efforts to unite all opposition parties ahead of the 2024 elections. While CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury has been invited, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan is not on the list. In Kerala, Congress and CPM are the main political players. Others on the invitation list include Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren, former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav, National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah and Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik, among others. While there were talks at the national level to ally against the BJP keeping Congress at bay as the party was losing elections, the Karnataka results have given a big boost to the party at the national front, reigniting the talks that Congress should lead other parties in the fight against the BJP. The party has planned to seize this opportunity and send a clear message that Congress is ready to lead the fight against the BJP by bringing together leaders of all parties on a single stage, an informed source told The New Indian Express. Chief Ministers of many non-BJP-ruled states had attended HD Kumaraswamys swearing-in ceremony in 2018. The participation of Congress national leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi is almost confirmed, while it is learnt that Siddaramaiah has extended a personal invitation to the former prime minister and JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda and former CM and BJP leader BS Yediyurappa. Meanwhile, Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar, who returned from Delhi after being chosen as the CM and DyCM respectively, were given a rousing welcome by the party workers at Bengaluru's HAL airport. Thousands of their supporters had gathered at the airport and they showered petals on the vehicles carrying the leaders. Sree Kanteerava Stadium is getting ready to host the swearing-in ceremony on Saturday. Arrangements are underway at the outdoor stadium, where more than 50,000 people can take part. The authorities are making all preparations for the mega event.
Siddaramaiah, the Machiavelli of Karnatakaspolitics
Siddaramaiah took the centre stage once again when Yediyurappa formed his own outfit, Karnataka Janata Paksha, in 2012. BENGALURU: Arguably one of Karnatakas tallest leaders in recent times, Siddaramaiah, who will now take oath as Karnatakas 24th Chief Minister, has emerged as the Machiavelli of the states politics. A turncoat in Congress, the veteran leader will occupy the CMs chair for the second time after 2013. Hailing from Siddaramanahundi in Mysuru district, the 75-year-old Kuruba leader began his political career in 1978 when he was elected as a member of the Taluk Development Board from Raitha Sangha. In 1980 he unsuccessfully contested the Lok Sabha elections from Mysore. A young Siddaramaiah plays ball He entered the Assembly for the first time in 1983 as a Lok Dal member winning from Chamundeshwari. He successfully contested the midterm polls in 1985 and became a minister and later was also part of the SR Bommai cabinet. In 1994, he entered the Assembly for the third time, this time as a Janata Dal candidate, and became the finance minister in the HD Deve Gowda cabinet. When Gowda became the PM, a relatively young Siddaramaiah became the deputy chief minister under JH Patel. In 1999, when the Janata Dal split, he identified himself with the Janata Dal (Secular). In 2004, when JDS formed a coalition government with Congress, he was considered the frontrunner for the CMs post. But Gowda picked Congress Dharam Singh and Siddaramaiah once again became the DyCM. This, according to political pundits, was one of the many reasons for Siddaramaiah quitting the JDS and joining the Congress. But Siddaramaiah had once claimed that he was expelled from JDS in 2005 and nursed a dream of launching his own party but backtracked later, which many considered as a politically-shrewd move. Joining the Congress in 2006 is considered as a turning point in his career. When the Yediyurappa-led government came to power in 2008, the present AICC president, Mallikarjun Kharge, was the then the leader of the opposition. But Siddaramaiah tactfully managed to send Kharge to the national stage as the latter was forced to contest the 2009 Lok Sabha polls. Siddaramaiah took the centre stage once again when Yediyurappa formed his own outfit, Karnataka Janata Paksha, in 2012. Siddaramaiah launched a padayatra to Ballari challenging the Reddy brothers over the issue of iron ore. The popularity he had gathered as the AHINDA (acronym for minorities, backward classes, and Dalits) leader made him the leader of the masses, eventually making him the CM in 2013. When Congress-JDS formed an alliance in 2018, Siddaramaiah was made the coordination committee chairman. The coalition crumbled in 2019 as some of his supporters quit the party to help the BJP. Siddaramaiah lost from Chamundeshwari in his home turf Mysuru district and won from Badami in far away Bagalkot. But he soon became the leader of the opposition in the Assembly. Now, by chalking out an effective campaign against the Bommai-led BJP government, and with support from anti-incumbency, Siddaramaiah has once again become the states CM. Mamata may skip swearing-in, stalin, Jagan among invitees New Delhi/Bengaluru: Though the Congress may be looking to turn the swearing-in ceremony of Siddaramaiah as a platform to bring together Opposition ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, some prominent players may not be on board. Sources said West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee may skip the ceremony though Congress has extended invitations to her. A Trinamool MP told TNIE that Mamata is unlikely to attend the swearing-in. However, Banerjee may send a representative. Sources said that Siddaramaiahs office has extended an official invitation to Mamata Banerjee, Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin, Andhra Pradesh CM Jagan Mohan Reddy, Telangana CM KC Chandrasekhar Rao, among other prominent non-NDA leaders. Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray, National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah and others are also on the list of invitees. The participation of Congress national leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi is almost confirmed, while it is learnt that Siddaramaiah has extended a personal invitation to JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda and former CM BS Yediyurappa. While CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury has been invited, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan is not on the list. ENS
