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]

PM Modi assures no discrimination in women’s quota, delimitation debate intensifies in Parliament

PM Narendra Modi has assured that women’s reservation will be implemented without discrimination, amid a heated debate over delimitation in Parliament.

PM modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has assured that there will be no discrimination in the implementation of women’s reservation, as Parliament witnessed a sharp debate over the proposed linkage between the quota and delimitation exercise.

During the ongoing special session, the government reiterated its commitment to ensuring fair representation while addressing concerns raised by opposition parties regarding the timing and structure of the legislation.

The proposed framework aims to reserve 33 percent of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. However, its implementation is tied to a fresh delimitation exercise, which is expected after the next census.

Opposition questions timing and intent

Opposition leaders have raised concerns that linking the women’s quota to delimitation could delay its implementation. They argue that the process of redrawing constituencies may push the actual rollout further into the future.

The issue has triggered a broader political confrontation, with multiple parties questioning whether the move could alter representation across states.

Some critics have also alleged that the delimitation exercise could disproportionately benefit certain regions based on population, a charge the government has rejected.

Government reiterates commitment to fair implementation

Responding to these concerns, the Centre has maintained that the reforms are necessary to ensure accurate and updated representation based on population data.

Leaders from the ruling side have repeatedly emphasized that the process will be carried out transparently and without bias. The assurance that there will be “no discrimination” is aimed at addressing fears among states and opposition parties.

The debate marks a key moment in Parliament, with both sides engaging in intense exchanges over one of the most significant electoral reforms in recent years.

Give all tickets to Muslim women, Amit Shah says, attacking Akhilesh Yadav on sub-quota demand

A sharp exchange between Amit Shah and Akhilesh Yadav in Parliament over sub-quota for Muslim women highlights key divisions on women’s reservation implementation.

Published

on

A heated exchange broke out in Parliament during discussions on the women’s reservation framework, with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav locking horns over the demand for a sub-quota for Muslim women.

The debate unfolded as the government pushed forward key legislative measures to implement 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies.

Akhilesh Yadav argued that the proposed reservation must ensure representation for women from marginalised communities, including Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and Muslim women. He said that without such provisions, large sections could remain excluded from political participation.

He also questioned the timing of the bill, alleging that the Centre was avoiding a caste census. According to him, a census would lead to renewed demands for caste-based reservations, which the government is reluctant to address.

Government rejects religion-based quota

Responding to the demand, Amit Shah made it clear that reservation based on religion is not permitted under the Constitution.

He stated that any proposal to provide quota to Muslims on religious grounds would be unconstitutional, firmly rejecting the idea of a separate sub-quota for Muslim women within the broader reservation framework.

The government has maintained that the existing framework already includes provisions for Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) women within the overall reservation structure.

Wider political divide over implementation

The issue of sub-categorisation within the women’s quota has emerged as a major flashpoint, even as most opposition parties broadly support the idea of women’s reservation.

Samajwadi Party leaders reiterated that their support for the bill depends on inclusion of OBC and minority women, while the government continues to defend its constitutional position.

The debate is part of a broader discussion during the special Parliament session, where multiple bills linked to delimitation and implementation of the women’s quota are being taken up.

Raghav Chadha’s security withdrawn by Punjab amid AAP rift, Centre steps in with cover

Punjab withdraws Raghav Chadha’s security amid party tensions, Centre offers fresh protection.

Published

on

The Punjab government has withdrawn the Z+ category security cover provided to Raghav Chadha, amid an ongoing rift within the Aam Aadmi Party.

According to sources, the security personnel deployed by Punjab Police have been asked to report back, marking a significant development in the political dispute involving the Rajya Sabha MP.

The move comes shortly after Chadha was removed from his position as deputy leader of the party in the Rajya Sabha, signalling deepening differences between him and the party leadership.

Centre offers fresh security arrangement

Soon after the withdrawal, the Ministry of Home Affairs stepped in to provide security cover to Chadha.

Sources indicate that he will now receive Z-category security in Delhi and Punjab, while a Y-category cover may be provided in other parts of the country.

This shift ensures continued protection for the MP despite the withdrawal of state-provided security.

Fallout linked to political disagreement

The development is part of a broader fallout between Chadha and his party. He was recently replaced as deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, with the party reportedly expressing dissatisfaction over his political approach and conduct in Parliament.

Chadha, however, has denied the allegations, calling them baseless and asserting that his focus has been on raising public issues rather than engaging in political confrontation.

Growing divide within party ranks

Once considered a close associate of Arvind Kejriwal and a prominent face of the party, Chadha’s recent removal from key roles and the withdrawal of his security underline a widening internal divide.

He is among the few leaders in the party who have recently found themselves at odds with the leadership, indicating shifting dynamics within the organisation.
