Shiv Sena gives in, set to join BJP govt in Maharashtra

October 21, 2014

Shiv Sena BJPMumbai/ New Delhi: Oct 21: A day after election results were announced, a reunion of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiv Sena appeared possible with the regional party publicly expressing its willingness to join the government without any conditions.

The BJP also sought to know from Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, a senior Maharashtra leader, if he was interested in becoming the chief minister. Gadkari has officially denied several times in the past that he was aspiring for the top post.

Party sources, however, said he has not communicated his mind to the top leadership so far and many chief ministerial hopefuls are also pushing him to lead the state government.

Devendra Fadnavis, who like Gadkari is from Nagpur, is being considered a front-runner for the chief minister’s post, given the backing he has from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

BJP sources said the top leadership could have tried to read the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s mind on government formation by reaching out to Gadkari, who is very close to its chief Mohan Bhagwat. BJP chief Amit Shah met Gadkari at his residence on Monday to consult him on progress made in the government formation.

The discussion on government formation in both states also figured in the dinner hosted by the prime minister for his council of ministers at 7 Race Course Road.

BJP observers, Home Minister Rajnath Singh and general-secretary J P Nadda, will fly to Mumbai on Tuesday afternoon to hold a meeting with newly elected party MLAs to ascertain their view on who should be their leader.

The BJP, along with its four allies, won 122 seats but fell short of 23 MLAs from reaching a majority. Though the Nationalist Congress Party has reiterated its offer of providing “unconditional outside support”, the BJP seems to be favouring the Sena which has 63 MLAs.

In Mumbai, Sena leader Anil Desai stated that the party was in touch with the BJP for the last 24 hours in an attempt to bury the past. “We have been talking to the BJP for the last 24 hours. The mandate is for the BJP and the Sena and the people want a stable government from the two parties,” Desai said.

Though the Sena has not received any written offer to join the government, Desai said: “We are expecting any kind of proposal from the BJP. Uddhavji has made it very clear, whatever comes our way, we will go ahead on that.”

BJP general secretaries Rajiv Pratap Rudy and Om Prakash Mathur, who were in Mumbai, met state unit president Devendra Fadnavis, opposition leaders Eknath Khadse and Vinod Tawde ahead of initiating detailed discussions.

In the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly, the BJP is at the top with 122 seats and needs the support of 23 MLAs to form the government.

New Delhi Aug 6: In a new twist in the Vijay Mallya case, a certain document connected with the case in the Supreme Court has gone missing from the apex court files. 

A bench comprising Justices U.U. Lalit and Ashok Bhushan adjourned the hearing to August 20.

It was hearing the review plea filed by Mallya against a July 14, 2017 judgment wherein he was found guilty of contempt for not paying Rs 9,000 crore dues to banks despite repeated directions, although he had transferred $40 million to his children.

The bench was looking for a reply on an intervention application, which it seemed has gone missing from the case papers.Parties involved in the case sought more time to file fresh copies.

On June 19, the Supreme Court sought explanation from its registry regarding Mallya's appeal against the May 2017 conviction in the contempt case for not repaying Rs 9,000 crore dues to banks not listed for the last 3 years.

A bench comprising Justices Lalit and Bhushan had asked the Registry to furnish all the details including names of the officials who had dealt with the file concerning the Review Petition for last three years.

The bench said according to the record, placed before it, the review petition was not listed before the court for last three years. "Before we deal with the submissions raised in the Review Petition, we direct the Registry to explain why the Review Petition was not listed before the concerned Court for last three years," said the bench.In May 2017, the apex court held him guilty of contempt of court for transferring $40 million to his children, and ordered him to appear on July 10 to argue on the quantum of punishment.

The bench said let the explanation be furnished within two weeks. "The Review Petition shall, thereafter, be considered on merits," it added.In 2017, the apex court passed the order on a contempt petition against Mallya by a consortium of banks led by the SBI. 

The banks claimed Mallya transferred $40 million from Daigeo to his children's accounts, and did not use this money to clear his debt. Banks cited this as violation of judicial orders.

New Delhi, Jun 18: Major General-level talks between India and China, held to resolve the issues related to the violent face-off in Ladakh's Galwan area on June 15-16, lasted for more than six hours on Thursday, sources said.

The talks between the Major Generals of the two countries had remained inconclusive on Wednesday.

Sources also said that all Indian Army personnel who were involved in Galwan valley violent face-off on June 15-16 are accounted for and no soldier is missing in action.

At least 20 Indian Army personnel, including a Colonel rank officer, had lost their lives in the violent face-off which happened in the Galwan valley as a result of an attempt by the Chinese troops to unilaterally change the status quo during the de-escalation in eastern Ladakh.

Indian intercepts have revealed that the Chinese side suffered 43 casualties including dead and seriously injured in the violent clash. The commanding officer of the Chinese unit is among those killed, sources confirmed to media persons.

India wants restoration of old status quo along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) prevailing before May 2020 when the first reports of Chinese incursions started appearing.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had on Wednesday conveyed a clear and tough message to his Chinese counterpart Foreign Minister Wang Yi that what happened in Galwan was a "pre-mediated and planned action that was directly responsible for the resulting violence and casualties."

May 28: Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Thursday asked the central government to unlock its coffers and help the needy affected by the coronavirus-induced lockdown.

In a video message posted as part of the Congress' 'Speak Up India' campaign, she lamented that even though the country is passing through a serious economic crisis with loss of livelihood due to the pandemic and the lockdown, the central government has not heard the cries of pain and trauma of people.

"We again urge the Centre to unlock its coffers and help the needy. Put direct cash of Rs 7,500 per month in the account of every family for the next six months and provide Rs 10,000 immediately; ensure safe and free travel of labourers back home, employment opportunity and rations; and also increase the number of work days under MNREGA to 200 days to facilitate jobs in villages," Gandhi said.

"Instead of loans, provide financial relief to small and medium industry so that crores of jobs are saved and the country progresses," she said in her video message on the party's social media handles.
