Sule demands job assurance to Pahalgam attack victim's kin be implemented immediately
'We had demanded a job to Asawari citing that the sole earning member of the family Santosh Jagdale was killed. The chief minister had assured us of the job but has not implemented it till now,' said Sule.
The NCP(SP) leader said, 'Asawari is highly qualified and will be given a government job in PMC. The state government should implement its assurance.'
Sule, who held a discussion with PMC officers on civic issues, highlighted the fatal road accidents taking place on city roads including the one at Gangadham chowk. 'The PMC needs to act fast in resolving civic issues that are costing lives of citizens. The water pollution in Khadakwasla dam is another serious issue which the civic body will resolve fast,' she said, adding the road conditions in the city and water logging is causing inconvenience to citizens.
The NCP (SP) working president said the delimitation process for PMC elections have started as per state government decision. 'We want it to be a transparent process which is based on a standard formula and not as per the imagination of any person,' she said.
Sule said that the state government is planning to recover the property tax from residents of newly merged 32 villages despite assurance of no recovery ahead of Lok Sabha and state assembly elections. 'They seem to be least bothered about promises after the elections. The PMC has not yet provided any services in these areas, so why should they recover property tax?,' she added.
The NCP(SP) leader said she was shocked by the closure of Sarasbaug by PMC on the alleged demand of a BJP MP to avoid the muslim community from celebrating Eid in the garden. 'I wasn't aware of this. It is shocking. If I was told earlier I would have got it opened. I will ensure it is not repeated next year,' she said.
On the ongoing indefinite hunger strike by former legislator Bachu Kadu, Sule said that the NCP(SP) has extended support to Kadu as he is justified in seeking justice for farmers who are in distress. 'The Mahayuti has assured complete loan waiver to farmers but has not taken any decision so far. The farmers are suffering with their hard work going in vain due to heavy rain across the state,' she said, adding that the legislator has been asked to take care of his health.

As EC begins process to pick new VP, Opp hopes to get act together, NDA sits pretty
While Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's 'sudden' resignation may have given the Opposition some ammunition to allege that all is not well in the NDA camp, it now has a new challenge before it: devising a collective strategy for the election of the next Rajya Sabha chairman. The Vice President is elected by members of both Houses of Parliament. Nominated members of the Rajya Sabha are also eligible to cast their vote. The Election Commission on Wednesday said it has begun the process of holding the vice presidential election and has started constituting the electoral college comprising MPs of both Houses of Parliament. The poll panel said it is also finalising returning officers for the election. 'On completion of the preparatory activities, the announcement of the election schedule will follow as soon as possible,' the EC said. The Indian Express spoke to several Opposition parties on their move forward. While they said there will 'definitely' be a candidate when the election happens, they are waiting to see how the government responds to the situation. 'We are waiting for the ruling side to make the next move. Once they pick a candidate, we will also discuss what has to be done,' a CPI(M) MP said. INDIA bloc leaders said the Congress will play a 'big' role in the elections as they are the 'largest' Opposition party. However, a Samajwadi Party MP added: 'They will need to consult all parties, bring everyone on board. The coordination will have to be done by the Congress. Since the resignation was so sudden and unexpected, the process will have to start from scratch.' Congress sources said the party is ready for the 'challenge'. 'We have coordinated with our allies on several issues and brought INDIA bloc parties together on the Pahalgam attack and Bihar Special Intensive Revision (SIR). We will do the same for this,' said a Congress Rajya Sabha member. But this coordination will be hard to pull off. Over the last year, the INDIA bloc has seen parties taking a different line over issues, with several parties even questioning the Congress's credentials to lead the alliance after a string of losses in state Assembly elections. Big edge to NDA, but tighter fight Unlike the presidential election, the electoral college for the Vice President only includes members of both Houses of Parliament, and does not include state legislators. Currently, there is one vacancy in the Lok Sabha (Basirhat, West Bengal), and five vacancies in the Rajya Sabha. Of the five vacancies in the Rajya Sabha, four are from Jammu and Kashmir and one from Punjab. The total strength of the two Houses together is 787 and the winning candidate needs at least 394 votes to be elected, if all eligible voters cast their votes. As numbers stand, the BJP-led NDA has 422 MPs. In the 542-member Lok Sabha, the NDA enjoys the support of 293 members. In the Rajya Sabha where the effective strength is currently 245, the ruling alliance has the support of 129 MPs, counting the nominated members who are likely to vote for the NDA nominee. Still, the election for Dhankhar's successor will likely be a narrow one compared to the last two elections. In 2017, when the first vice-presidential election was held under the Narendra Modi government, the contest was between then Cabinet Minister M Venkaiah Naidu and Opposition nominee Gopal Krishna Gandhi. Naidu won the contest by 272 votes. In 2022, when Dhankhar was up against Opposition nominee Margret Alva, his victory margin was even larger, at 346 votes. The TMC had at the time abstained from polling, alleging that the Congress had not consulted it before announcing Alva's nomination.

The Reluctant Exit Of A Constitutional Nationalist
Last Updated: Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation may be effective immediately, but the echo of his voice in rulings and sharp interventions will remain in Parliament's conscience for years to come The sudden resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, citing health reasons, marks the end of a short but influential chapter in Indian constitutional life. At 74, Dhankhar has stepped down midway through his six-year tenure, joining the ranks of only two other vice presidents, VV Giri and R Venkataraman, who resigned before completing their terms, albeit for different reasons. But unlike his predecessors who left to assume the higher office of the president, Dhankhar's exit is one of necessity, not political ambition. It is a moment of reflection for the Indian polity, especially for those who value articulation, constitutional clarity, and nationalist conviction in the upper echelons of public life. Jagdeep Dhankhar's career arc has been anything but conventional. A lawyer by training and a farmer's son by identity, his rise through the political ranks was not driven by dynastic entitlement or ideological posturing. His greatest visibility came not during his years in Parliament or Cabinet, but as Governor of West Bengal. It was there, in the volatile political landscape of Bengal, that Dhankhar found his voice as a constitutional sentinel, one not afraid to call out the excesses of Mamata Banerjee's regime. Where many governors chose silence or discretion in dealing with regional satraps, Dhankhar spoke with legal precision and unapologetic nationalism. His insistence on constitutional accountability rattled the state government and often set the tone for the national debate. 'kisan putra" with deep knowledge of the Constitution and legislative procedure. It was no mere ceremonial endorsement. In a house that often witnesses theatrical opposition and walkouts, Dhankhar brought a lawyer's rigour and a patriot's candour. His ability to maintain order, invoke constitutional provisions with ease, and push back gently but firmly against unruly conduct made him a chairman who did more than wield the gavel. He wielded moral authority. In many ways, Dhankhar's presence was the ideological complement to the BJP-led government's legislative agenda. Not in the sense of partisanship, he remained constitutionally non-aligned in his conduct, but in his understanding of India's civilisational values and constitutional ethos. When the Opposition accused the government of undermining institutions, it was Dhankhar who reminded them often with surgical clarity of constitutional roles and responsibilities. He was not afraid to confront the 'constitutional illiteracy" of some members of Parliament and frequently used the Rajya Sabha pulpit to educate, not just adjudicate. What sets Dhankhar apart is that he was never a mere bureaucratic custodian of his office. He was an institution in motion, a living embodiment of the Constitution's intent to have checks and balances enforced with wisdom and resolve. Whether it was upholding parliamentary decorum or questioning judicial overreach, he spoke with an intellectual sharpness that kept both Houses of Parliament and courtrooms on their toes. He famously said that the 'basic structure doctrine" must evolve through discussion, not dogma, provoking necessary conversations about the limits of judicial supremacy. His resignation letter, while graceful and full of gratitude, conceals the weight of disappointment many constitutionalists and nationalist thinkers will now carry. The timing, too, is poignant. That Dhankhar administered oaths to new Rajya Sabha members earlier in the day, only to step down hours later, shows the deep sense of duty with which he served till the very end. It was not a quiet exit, but a dignified one. It is important to note that his resignation comes amidst recurring health issues, including a recent cardiac episode and a public fainting spell. This reminds us that even the most committed public servants are human and vulnerable. Prioritising health is not weakness; it is wisdom. Still, one cannot help but sense that his resignation has left unfinished the mission he seemed destined to carry forward: to redefine the role of vice president from being ornamental to being meaningfully constitutional. In an age where identity politics dominates the discourse and shouting matches often substitute for debate, Jagdeep Dhankhar brought to public life a rare blend of clarity, conviction, and constitutional rectitude. He never wore nationalism like a badge for electoral optics; it was embedded in his vocabulary, his decisions, and his worldview. He spoke not for votes but for values. For that alone, he will be missed. As India looks to find a successor, the bar he has set will be a difficult one to reach. The next vice president will inherit not just an office, but a legacy, one of fearless constitutional articulation, deep respect for India's civilisational heritage, and a refusal to bow before political expediency. In Jagdeep Dhankhar, the country saw a vice president who was more than a chairperson of the Upper House. It saw a guardian of the Constitution, a sentinel of propriety, and above all, a nationalist who believed that the rule of law is the bedrock of Bharat's destiny. His resignation may be effective immediately, but the echo of his voice in speeches, rulings, and sharp interventions will remain in Parliament's conscience for years to come.

Who Is Manikrao Kokate: 5-Time MLA, Now At Centre Of Political Storm
Maharashtra's Agriculture Minister Manikrao Kokate is facing mounting political pressure and public criticism after two separate incidents this week. A viral video allegedly showing Mr Kokate playing a mobile card game during a legislative session, followed by his controversial remarks calling the state government a "beggar", has drawn sharp rebuke from opposition leaders. The twin controversies have put pressure on the ruling alliance, particularly the Ajit Pawar-led NCP, which Mr Kokate belongs to. The party does not endorse Mr Kokate's conduct, and a disciplinary action may follow, senior NCP leader Sunil Tatkare said. Who Is Manikrao Kokate? Manikrao Shivaji Kokate was born on September 26, 1957, in Somthana village, Sinnar, in Nashik, Maharashtra. He holds an LLB degree from the University of Pune. A seasoned politician with a career spanning over three decades, Mr Kokate has represented five different political parties: Congress, NCP (Sharad Pawar), Shiv Sena, BJP, and now NCP (Ajit Pawar), while maintaining a stronghold on the Sinnar Assembly Constituency, which he has won five times. He began his political career as a student activist with the NSUI. He gained early recognition by serving in local governance roles such as Chairman of the Sinnar Panchayat Samiti and President of the Nashik Zilla Parishad. He joined the Congress Party at a young age. After being denied a ticket by the newly formed NCP in 1999, he joined the Shiv Sena and won his first assembly election from Sinnar. He retained the seat in 2004. When Shiv Sena leader Narayan Rane left the party to join Congress, Mr Kokate followed and rejoined the INC, winning the 2009 election from Sinnar on a Congress ticket. Ahead of the 2014 assembly elections, he switched to the BJP, but lost to Shiv Sena's Rajabhau Waje. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, he ran as an Independent from Nashik but again lost to a Shiv Sena candidate. Later in 2019, Mr Kokate returned to the NCP and won the Sinnar Assembly seat for the fourth time. In the 2024 elections, now contesting from Ajit Pawar's NCP, he won (for the fifth time) against Uday Sangale of Sharad Pawar's NCP, with a margin of over 1.38 lakh. He was subsequently appointed the Agriculture Minister in the Maharashtra government. In February 2025, a Nashik court convicted Mr Kokate and his brother in a 1995 cheating and forgery case, involving the misuse of flats under the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) housing quota. The court sentenced both to two years in jail and fined them Rs 50,000 each. Mr Kokate appealed the decision, and the sessions court granted a stay on the conviction and sentence, allowing him to retain his position as an MLA. Last week, a video clip surfaced showing Mr Kokate allegedly playing Junglee Rummy on his mobile phone during a legislative session on tribal dairy welfare. He denied the allegation, saying that the video was misleading and that he was only trying to close a YouTube pop-up ad, not playing a game. Shortly after, Mr Kokate stirred fresh outrage when he said, "The government is the beggar, not the farmers," while addressing irregularities in the Rs 1 crop insurance scheme. He later explained that over 5.5 lakh bogus applications had been received under the scheme, which were immediately cancelled during his tenure.
