Imarti Devi, a former Madhya Pradesh minister and a staunch supporter of Jyotiraditya Scindia, has once again been in media headlines for her heated arguments with Congress MLA Suresh Raje over horse-trading of councilors.

A video of her heated arguments with Dabra Congress MLA is doing rounds on social media.

In the video, a fierce debate between the two leaders can be seen accusing each other over allegations of councillor’s horse-trading. She also revealed the name of Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra in horse-trading of concilors.

The video is from Sahrai village under Dabra tehsil of Gwalior district, where a statue of Bhimrao Ambedkar, the architect of the constitution, had been vandalized by some anti-social elements.

The villagers were gathered to protest against the vandalization of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar’s statue in Sahrai village of MP’s Dabri district. The Scindia loyalist Imarti Devi and Dabra MLA Suresh Raje were also reached there to talk to the villagers about last night incident.

After the incident, the villagers demanded that CCTVs should be installed and a guard should also be appointed for the safety of Baba Saheb’s statue because even before the statue has been vandalized by some unknown assailants. The one who has damaged the idol should be caught at the earliest, the villagers also said.

To this, the administration assured the villagers to install a new statue of Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar while Imarti Devi promised to construct a room for the guards.

After hearing all the parties, the top Court has reserved the order for 10:30 tomorrow. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta handed over the original letter of Maharashtra Governor inviting BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis to form the government in Maharashtra to the bench

The unprecedented political drama that unfolded in Maharashtra on Saturday after BJP cleverly negotiated its way to form the government, the matter reached the Supreme Court when tripartite–Nationalist Congress Party, Congress and Shiv Sena sought the court intervention on Saturday.

The Supreme Court bench headed by Justice NV Ramana along with Justice Ashok Bhushan and Sanjiv Khanna, which held its first hearing on an urgent basis on Sunday, continued with its hearing today. The Court yesterday asked the Solicitor General Tushar Mehta and Senior Counsel representing Devendra Fadnavis to present the two letters which were relied upon by the governor to invite Fadnavis to form the government. The two letters submitted today morning in the Supreme Court.

The Solicitor General also produced the letter of Ajit Pawar, in which he claimed that he is NCP’s legislature party head and carried signature of 54 MLAs. This was the same letter which was allegedly relied upon by the Governor.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta has told the Supreme Court that the Governor waited from Oct 24 to Nov 9, almost for 15 days, then only he invited BJP to stake the claim. But BJP clearly stated to the Governor that they are not in a position to form the government. Then Shiv Sena was given a chance to explore the possibility of government formation, in which they also failed. The same chance was also given to Congress-they also made the same point that they are not in a position to sake the claim. Hence, President rule was rightly imposed in the state.

Rohtagi (appearing on behalf of Devendra Fadnavis) in his argument said that the Court cannot replace the Governor’s view with its own. The Speaker is yet to be chosen, the house is to be convened, but they want the Supreme Court to preempt everything. The Governor has given 14 days, but it isn’t 14 months. Hence, there is no need of an urgent floor test tomorrow.

Rohtagi also opposed the floor test by the protem speaker. He further resisted any order of the floor test tomorrow. The protem speaker will get the full-time Speaker elected. If the other side has the numbers, they will have their own Speaker, said Rohtagi.
