AAP MLA Alka Lamba removed from party WhatsApp group

Alka Lamba

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Aam Aadmi Party legislator Alka Lamba, who was removed from party official WhatsApp group, has announced that she would leave the party next year.

“My journey started with you in 2013 will end in 2020. My best wishes will be with the dedicated revolutionary ground workers of the party, hopefully you will remain a strong alternative in Delhi. The last six years have been memorable and I have learnt a lot from you,” the Chandni Chowk MLA said in a tweet.

She did not say whether she would quit AAP before or after the assembly election due in Delhi next year. Lamba has been at odds with the party for some time now.

On Saturday, Lamba sought accountability from AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal on the crushing defeat of the party in Lok Sabha polls following which she was removed from the official WhatsApp group of the party lawmakers. AAP did not win any of the seven parliamentary seats in Delhi.

Sharing screenshots on Twitter where it can be seen that she was removed by AAP’s North East Delhi candidate Dilip Pandey from the group, Lamba lashed out at Kejriwal and said why she is being held responsible for the party’s loss in Lok Sabha elections.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_raw_html]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

at Kejriwal, she said action should be taken against those who took all decisions “sitting in a closed room”. “I have always been telling the party what you (Kejriwal) are telling them now. I am sometimes added to the group, sometimes removed. It would have been better if a meeting was held to introspect, look at the shortcomings and move ahead,” she said.

This is the second time that Lamba has been dropped from the WhatsApp group. Previously, she was dropped in December last year when she raised objection to AAP’s resolution to revoke Rajiv Gandhi’s Bharat Ratna.

However, she was added before the campaigning for Lok Sabha polls started and was expected to campaign for the party. But Lamba refused to campaign for the party and even refrained from participating in Kejriwal’s roadshow after she was asked to walk behind his car during the event.

In April, Alka Lamba engaged in a bitter Twitter spat with AAP’s Greater Kailash MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj, who had taunted her to resign from the party. Following the spat, Lamba addressed a large crowd outside Jama Masjid and said the party was repeatedly demanding her resignation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Jammu and Kashmir High Court rejects Mehbooba Mufti’s plea on undertrial prisoners, calls it politically motivated

The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has rejected Mehbooba Mufti’s PIL on undertrial prisoners, stating it was politically motivated and lacked factual basis.

Published

Mehbooba mufti

The Jammu and Kashmir High Court has dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president Mehbooba Mufti seeking the transfer of undertrial prisoners lodged in jails outside the Union Territory back to prisons within Jammu and Kashmir. The court termed the petition politically motivated, vague and unsupported by facts, observing that it was an attempt to derive political mileage rather than address a genuine public cause.

A bench headed by Chief Justice Arun Palli and Justice Rajnesh Oswal made it clear that public interest litigation cannot be used as a tool to advance political agendas or convert courts into platforms for electoral positioning.

Court says PIL cannot become a political platform

In its observations, the High Court said the plea appeared aimed at projecting the petitioner as a champion of justice for a specific section, rather than raising substantiated legal concerns. The bench underlined that while political parties are free to engage with voters through democratic means, the judiciary must remain insulated from political campaigns.

The court reiterated that PIL jurisdiction is meant to safeguard public interest and not to be misused for electoral gain or political leverage. It cautioned against attempts to draw the judiciary into political narratives.

Undertrials have legal remedies, says court

In the 15-page order passed on Tuesday, the High Court noted that the undertrial prisoners mentioned in the petition are already facing trial before competent courts. According to the bench, adequate judicial remedies are available to such undertrials to raise grievances related to their detention or place of incarceration.

The court further observed that the failure of the concerned undertrials to approach courts on their own indicated that they may not be genuinely aggrieved by their confinement in prisons outside the Union Territory.

No locus standi, petition dismissed

Dismissing the plea, the High Court held that Mehbooba Mufti was a third-party stranger to the cause and therefore lacked the locus standi to invoke the court’s jurisdiction in this matter. The petition was described as misconceived and was rejected accordingly.

BJP raises seat offer to Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena to nearly 90 ahead of Mumbai civic polls, talks continue

The BJP has raised its seat offer to Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena to nearly 90 for the upcoming BMC elections, but fresh talks are needed as differences persist within the Mahayuti.

Published

on

With the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections drawing closer, the seat-sharing tussle within the Mahayuti alliance continues, with the BJP increasing its offer to Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena but failing to reach the party’s expectations.

According to sources, the BJP has now proposed close to 90 seats for the Shinde faction in the upcoming Mumbai civic polls. This is a significant jump from its earlier offer of 52 seats but still falls short of what Shinde is seeking. The Shiv Sena leader has reportedly reduced his demand from an initial 125 seats to 112, yet remains dissatisfied with the latest formula.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is expected to hold another round of discussions with Shinde to break the deadlock. Sources indicate that the BJP is unlikely to stretch its offer much further, especially after its strong showing in recent statewide local body elections.

BJP firm after strong local poll performance

The BJP has emerged as the single largest party in the recent local polls, securing 117 municipal president posts. In comparison, the Shinde-led Shiv Sena won 53 posts, while Ajit Pawar’s faction of the NCP secured 37. These results have strengthened the BJP’s negotiating position ahead of the BMC elections.

However, the current seat-sharing calculations could change if Ajit Pawar decides to contest the Mumbai civic polls as part of the alliance. Senior NCP leader Sunil Tatkare confirmed that no final decision has been taken yet, noting that discussions with alliance partners are ongoing.

Nawab Malik factor complicates alliance talks

A major point of contention within the Mahayuti is the issue of senior NCP leader Nawab Malik, who is facing multiple corruption cases, including a money laundering case linked to underworld activities. While the alliance has made it clear that Malik is unacceptable as part of its Mumbai setup, Ajit Pawar is reportedly firm on backing him.

Mumbai BJP chief Ameet Satam has publicly stated that the party would not align with any group that includes Malik. Sources added that if the NCP joins the alliance in Mumbai, it may be asked to project a different leader and contest a limited number of seats.

BMC elections timeline

The countdown to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections has already begun, with less than a month left for polling. Voting is scheduled for January 15, with counting set to take place the following day. A total of 2,869 municipal seats will be contested, including 227 seats in the BMC.

Yogi Adityanath’s do namoone remark sparks Akhilesh Yadav’s jab on BJP infighting

Yogi Adityanath’s ‘do namoone’ comment in the UP Assembly has been countered by Akhilesh Yadav, who termed it a confession of BJP’s internal power struggle.

Yogi Adityanath

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s recent “do namoone” comment in the state Assembly has triggered a sharp political exchange, with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav turning the remark into an attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party’s alleged internal discord.

The comment was made during a heated Assembly discussion on allegations of codeine cough syrup smuggling in Uttar Pradesh. Opposition members had accused the state government of inaction, claiming that timely steps could have saved the lives of several children. Rejecting the allegation outright, Adityanath said that no child in the state had died due to consumption of the cough syrup.

While responding to the opposition benches, the Chief Minister made an indirect jibe, saying there were “two namoone”, one in Delhi and one in Lucknow. Without naming anyone, he added that one of them leaves the country whenever there is a national debate, and suggested that a similar pattern applied to the Samajwadi Party leadership. The remark was widely interpreted as being aimed at Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav, a former Uttar Pradesh chief minister and current Lok Sabha MP

Akhilesh Yadav calls remark a ‘confession’

Akhilesh Yadav responded swiftly on social media, calling Adityanath’s statement a “confession” that exposed an alleged power struggle within the BJP. He said that those holding constitutional posts should maintain decorum and accused the ruling party of bringing its internal disputes into the public domain. Yadav posted his response shortly after the Chief Minister shared a video clip of the Assembly remarks online.

The Samajwadi Party has, on several occasions, claimed that there is a tussle between the Uttar Pradesh government and the BJP’s central leadership. Party leaders have cited the appointment of deputy chief ministers and certain bureaucratic decisions as evidence of attempts to curtail the Chief Minister’s authority.

Adityanath has consistently dismissed these claims, maintaining that he holds the post because of the party’s trust in him. The latest exchange has once again brought the narrative of BJP infighting into political focus, even as both sides continue to trade barbs ahead of key electoral contests
