Cong demands compensation for farmers affected by heavy rains in Gwalior-chambal
Bhopal: The Congress state unit on Tuesday demanded compensation for farmers who have faced crop damage due to excessive rains. Party media department president Mukesh Nayak expressed deep concern over the heavy devastation caused by continuous and excessive rains in Dabra, Bhind, Shivpuri, Karera, and Datia districts of Gwalior-Chambal division. Nayak said heavy rains have caused extensive damage to crops in more than 200 villages of these five districts including Sevdha, Bhander, and Datia development blocks. Oilseeds and pulses have been destroyed at many places. Due to this, farmers already burdened with debt are in a serious financial crisis, Mukesh Nayak argued. "Additionally, hundreds of houses have collapsed or been damaged in urban and rural areas, but no concrete steps have been taken by the state govt and administration," he alleged. Former minister Mukesh Nayak asked, "When the devastation in the villages is clearly visible, why have the revenue department teams not been sent for survey till now? Why has there been no official damage survey?" He demanded that the administration should immediately send revenue teams to the affected villages and provide compensation to the farmers and affected families as per the Revenue Book Circular (RBC) guidelines. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo The state Congress media cell chief further said, "The BJP govt is limited to announcements only. The farmers on whose strength the country runs are on the verge of devastation today and the govt is a mute spectator." Congress demanded a transparent survey conducted immediately by revenue teams to all the affected villages. "The families whose houses have been destroyed should be provided rehabilitation and relief camp facilities. The affected farmers should be provided loan waiver and assistance for the next crop," Nayak said.

Opposition protests over SIR, disrupts Lok Sabha work
The INDIA bloc floor leaders' meeting on Tuesday decided to broad-base the issues to be taken up in Parliament this week rather than sticking to the demand for an "immediate discussion" on the Pahalgam-Operation Sindoor issues which, they think, the government is disinclined to hold before PM Modi returns from his foreign tours next week. Therefore, the meeting chose to focus on poll-bound Bihar's SIR issue on Tuesday, which RJD particularly wanted to raise in the Houses. This led to Opposition protests and washout of the entire morning session in the Lok Sabha with two forced adjournments after 11 am and 12 noon even as Opposition MPs staged a protest at the main entrance of Parliament House by denouncing the SIR. At the Opposition bloc's floor leaders' meeting, Rahul Gandhi is learnt to have promised them to soon give a presentation on how the electoral process was "manipulated" in Maharashtra and how the same can happen in Bihar through SIR.

Abrupt exit Jagdeep Dhankhar's abrupt resignation as the Vice-President of India was a bolt from the blue. Though Mr. Dhankhar is said to have cited 'health grounds', the alacrity with which the same was accepted by the President of India as well as the Prime Minister's cryptic post on X wishing him good health, make one one wonder whether the powers that be wanted Mr. Dhankhar out of the way. His relationship with the BJP's top leadership was quite frosty of late. Be that as it may, Mr. Dhankhar was often accused by the Opposition of having a pronounced pro-government stance in the conduct of proceedings in the Rajya Sabha. His tenure was also marked by his being the first Vice-President in history against whom the Opposition had felt constrained to move an impeachment motion. When he was the Governor of West Bengal too, Mr. Dhankhar, sadly on occasions, did transgress the constitutional boundaries set for this high office. His frequent criticism of the Supreme Court's landmark judgment about the concept of ' basic structures' of the Constitution and his assertion about ' the supremacy of Parliament' over the other organs of governance were also becoming confrontational by the day. One waits to see what happens next. S.K. Choudhury, Bengaluru Mr. Dhankhar's abrupt resignation has provided munitions to Opposition leaders, who see the move as politically loaded. Though Mr. Dhankhar has cited his health as the reason for his departure, the disconnect between his public appearances and the stated reasons for his resignation has fuelled speculation that there might be other factors at play. As the nation awaits Mr. Dhankhar's successor, the ramifications of his hurried exit will no doubt resonate throughout the halls of power in India for some time to come. R. Sivakumar, Chennai Mr. Dhankhar's sudden resignation, though officially due to health reasons, points to deeper issues at play. His exit suggests possible political or institutional tensions. He might have felt sidelined or constrained and his move could reflect silent protest against the growing friction between the branches of power. His resignation raises important questions on whether democratic institutions are functioning the way they are meant to. Dr. Vijaykumar H.K., Raichur, Karnataka V.S. Achuthanandan The passing of V.S. Achuthanandan has created a deep void in the political spectrum. When he was the Chief Minister of Kerala, he led campaigns to reclaim illegally occupied land, fought corruption, supported free-software in schools, and launched major development projects such as the Kochi container terminal and IT parks. The great political leader would be remembered for his staunch and ecumenical approach towards the underprivileged as well. He was a great leader revered by all, irrespective of different ideologies.
