President accepts Delhi LG's proposal on AAP forming govt

December 25, 2013

Kejriwal_copyNew Delhi, Dec 25: President Pranab Mukherjee on Wednesday accepted the Delhi lieutenant governor's proposal on government formation by the Aam Admi Party.

The home ministry sent the President's communication to lieutenant governor Najeeb Jung on government formation by Arvind Kejriwal. "It is up to LG to decide date of swearing-in after holding consultation with the chief minister-designate," the home ministry said.

Earlier on Wednesday, Aam Aadmi Party said it is not in any sort of coalition or understanding with the Congress and expects "support of the majority" on the floor of the House for its 18 issues, failing which it will "move out".

"As we have always maintained, we have 18 issues and we have 28 MLAs, no more," AAP leader Yogendra Yadav told reporters here.

"We will go to the floor of the assembly and try to push each of the 18 issues which have brought us to where we are and we would expect that given the nature of these issues, and how much do they matter to the country and to the people of Delhi we would have the support of the majority on the floor of the House. If we don't have, we would move out," he said.

Trying to end speculation over some sort of understanding between the two parties, Yadav said, "I think much of the questioning and speculation is still being dictated by the old grammar of politics. Grammar of common minimum program, alliances, tie-ups, understanding, covert understanding, I wish to underline that once again that there is nothing of that kind. We have the numbers, we are going ahead to implement our agenda."

Asked about differences within Congress over supporting AAP and apprehensions that the party may try to dictate terms or affect decisions of the Kejriwal-led government, Yadav said, "It is entirely the Congress party's prerogative to take a decision about what they wish to do in the government formation scenario in Delhi."

"It is not for me to advise them, it is not for me to speculate reasons why the Congress may wish to dictate one decision or the other as we have clarified always that we do not have an alliance or a tie up, we don't have an understanding," he said.

"In the absence of that (understanding), there are no rights and obligations. It is not for me to say what they should do. Congress is an independent political party, a mature political party. It is for them to take a decision," he said.

Amaravati, Jan 21: Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu and at least 17 MLAs of his party were taken in police custody late on Monday as they tried to conduct a foot march from the state assembly to nearby Mandadam village in violation of prohibitory orders.

TDP leaders started off on the march after staging a sit-in near the assembly main entrance following the suspension of 17 MLAs from the House for the day.

They were protesting the AP Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Bill, 2020, that was passed by the assembly, enabling the establishment of three capitals for the state.

The TDP leaders were taken to the Mangalagiri police station.

Meanwhile, tensions prevailed at the Jana Sena Party headquarters at Mangalagiri as police prevented its president Pawan Kalyan from proceeding to the Amaravati region to speak to protesters fighting for the retention of only one capital for the state.

DIG Kanti Rana Tata and other senior police officials reached the Sena office and blocked the exit of Kalyan and political affairs committee chairman Nadendla Manohar, resulting in an argument.

Kalyan asked how could police impose restrictions within his own office.

Scores of Sena workers gathered outside the office even as a large posse of police was posted to thwart Kalyan and other leaders' plans.

New delhi, Feb 10: The Supreme Court on Monday upheld the constitutional validity of the SC/ST Amendment Act, 2018, and said a court can grant anticipatory bail only in cases where a prima facie case is not made out.

A bench headed by Justice Arun Mishra said a preliminary inquiry is not essential before lodging an FIR under the act and the approval of senior police officials is not needed.

Justice Ravindra Bhat, the other member of the bench, said in a concurring verdict that every citizen needs to treat fellow citizens equally and foster the concept of fraternity.

Justice Bhat said a court can quash the FIR if a prima facie case is not made out under the SC/ST Act and the liberal use of anticipatory bail will defeat the intention of Parliament.

The top court's verdict came on a batch of PILs challenging the validity of the SC/ST Amendment Act of 2018, which was brought to nullify the effect of the apex court's 2018 ruling, which had diluted the provisions of the stringent Act.
