BJD asserts that AAP's loss in Delhi elections holds no bearing on politics within Odisha.
In the vibrant political landscape of India, several significant events have unfolded over the past few days.
The Election Commission, a crucial institution in our democracy, has come under scrutiny. Prasanna Acharya, the deputy leader of the BJD in the Odisha assembly, expressed concern over the dissimilarity between the Commission's words (Ucharana) and actions (acharana). Acharya emphasised the need for transparency in both for a prosperous democracy.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, the BJD, a regional politico in Odisha, asserted that the AAP's defeat in Delhi will not impact Odisha politics. Debi Prasad Mishra, the BJD's coordination & activities committee chairman, shared this view. Similarly, the BJP's victory in Delhi will not affect Odisha politics, according to Mishra.
The AAP's loss in Delhi, where they had ruled for over 10 years, was not surprising, said Acharya. Srikant Jena, a senior Congress leader, pointed out that the AAP secured 43.57% of votes in Delhi, while the winner BJP got 45.56%. Jena also stated that the Congress was sandwiched between the AAP and the BJP in the Delhi elections.
In other political news, regional politicos continue to hold significant influence in Indian politics. Mishra, the BJD's coordination & activities committee chairman, highlighted the rule of regional politicos in neighboring Jharkhand and West Bengal. He also claimed that the BJP has been able to secure victories in many states by joining hands with different regional politicos, as done in Maharashtra, Jammu & Kashmir, and Bihar.
The regional politico leader in West Bengal, considered a formidable force in Indian politics, is Mamata Banerjee. Attempts to weaken regional politicos, as it happened in Maharashtra, are another aspect of concern for Acharya.
On a different note, Union Minister Meghwal stated that GST 2.0 will make life easier for businesses and households.
The Supreme Court has ordered states and Union Territories (UTs) to notify rules for registering Sikh weddings. Lastly, a 3-Language Committee is scheduled to hold consultations with stakeholders.
These developments underscore the dynamic nature of Indian politics, with regional politicos playing a pivotal role and crucial institutions like the Election Commission coming under scrutiny. As always, the political landscape promises to remain engaging and intriguing.
