Union Minister Chirag Paswan and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, who have worked as co-actors in a film in the past, shared a light moment at Parliament today. A video of the two young leaders shows them greeting each other with a ‘low five’ this morning. Back in 2011, the two had starred in a movie, Miley Naa Miley Hum. The movie did not do well and Chirag Paswan, still under the shadow of his father, the veteran late Ram Vilas Paswan, turned to politics. Kangana went on to build a successful celluloid career. Many films and several elections later, the…

In his address to the house today re-elected Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla condemned the Congress-led government’s decision to impose the Emergency in 1975, calling it a “dark chapter in India’s democracy.” This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Emergency, which is considered one of the most controversial periods in India’s political history. Mr Birla said remembering and educating the younger generation about such critical historical events is imperative. “Awareness towards the Constitution will only strengthen when the young generation knows about democracy,” Mr Birla remarked. “The Emergency is a dark chapter in India’s democracy. Then PM Indira Gandhi…
A half-shuttered house with lights and fans left on – in a posh housing society in Maharashtra’s Latur – and two haphazardly parked scooters are all that can be seen at the home of Iranna Kongalwar, one of many named by law enforcement agencies probing the leak of NEET-UG question papers. NDTV visited the house Wednesday but, from the way some lights were still left on and some windows open, while others were closed, it appeared Kongalwar and his family left in a hurry. The visuals from the housing estate paint a pleasant picture; a wide, red tile-lined driveway with…
Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said that he hoped that actions like suspension of MPs would not be taken in the 18th Lok Sabha. Speaking shortly after NDA’s Om Birla was re-elected as the Lok Sabha speaker, Mr Yadav said he believed that the BJP MP would be impartial towards the opposition and give its leaders equal opportunity. “I congratulate you and extend you best wishes on behalf of all my colleagues. The post that you are occupying has glorious traditions attached to it. We believe that this will continue without any discrimination and as Lok Sabha Speaker…

The re-election of Om Birla to the Lok Sabha Speaker’s post – a formality given the ruling BJP-led coalition always had the numbers – was followed by a flurry of congratulatory messages, and appeals to the Kota MP to run an impartial House – from opposition leaders, including the Congress’ Rahul Gandhi. The opposition MPs – who backed the Congress’ Kodikunnil Suresh – struck several common notes, including urging Mr Birla, a three-time BJP MP from Rajasthan’s Kota, to ensure impartiality in conduct of the House and to allow their members time to voice their concerns and criticisms. The reference…
Credit: Reuters Delhi’s meteorological and political climates seem to be in perfect sync this year. After the infernal heat and dust, the city is holding its breath. It’s like being transfixed by the cobra’s eyes. Everything is at a standstill. A pregnant pause. While the new parliament is in session, nothing significant has been achieved yet, either by the ruling party or the opposition. No, Rahul Gandhi becoming the Leader of the Opposition does not count as a significant event. This was along the predicted lines. Similarly, a drop in the mercury is not worth any mention. After twelve months…

As the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will participate in the appointment process for key officials such as the CBI director, the Chief Election Commissioners, National Human Rights Commission chairperson and the Chief Vigilance Commissioner. Mr Gandhi today took over as Leader of the Opposition in the lower House — a position that was vacant for the past 10 years because no Opposition party met the minimum strength criterion for the post. In the past two Lok Sabhas, Congress’s Mallikarjun Kharge and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury were leaders of the Congress in the House. On…
