Modi's swearing-in ceremony, India to invite top leaders of neighbouring countries: report

Leaders from neighboring countries including Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal and Mauritius are likely to be invited in the oath-taking ceremony. 

Leaders from neighboring countries including Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal and Mauritius are likely to be invited in the oath-taking ceremony.

India is likely to invite leaders of a number of its neighbouring countries, including Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, to the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the weekend, people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
Modi is all set to take charge as the prime minister for a historic third consecutive term with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) winning 293 seats in the Lok Sabha polls.
The people cited above said top leaders of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal and Mauritius are likely to be among the foreign leaders to be invited for Modi's oath-taking ceremony.
The media division of Sri Lankan President Ranil Wickremesinghe's office said Modi invited him to the swearing-in ceremony. It said Wickremesinghe accepted the invite.
It said Wickremesinghe congratulated Modi on the electoral victory in a phone call.
"During the conversation, Prime Minister @narendramodi invited President Wickremesinghe to his swearing-in ceremony, which President @RW_UNP accepted," it said.
Modi also had a phone conversation with Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
In the phone conversation, Modi invited Hasina to attend his swearing-in ceremony and she accepted it, diplomatic sources said.
The people cited above said Nepalese Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda', Bhutanese Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay and Prime Minister of Mauritius Pravind Jugnauth are set to be invited to Modi's swearing-in ceremony.
Modi had a separate phone conversations with Prachanda.
The formal invitations are set to be sent on Thursday, said one of the people cited above.
The leaders of regional grouping SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) countries attended Modi's first swearing-in ceremony when he took the reins as the prime minister after a massive electoral victory for the BJP.
Leaders of the BIMSTEC countries attended Modi's swearing-in ceremony in 2019 when he became prime minister for the second consecutive term.
Modi is likely to take oath on June 8.
Though the BJP could not get a majority on its own in the polls, the party-led alliance secured 293 seats out of 543. The majority mark in the Lower House is 272.&nbsp;

The outcome of these negotiations will significantly shape the political landscape and governance strategies in Modi's next term.

Naidu and Kumar seek key cabinet posts in Modi's next term: report

The outcome of these negotiations will significantly shape the political landscape and governance strategies in Modi's next term.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened a critical meeting with National Democratic Alliance (NDA) partners on Wednesday in New Delhi following the BJP's success in the recent Lok Sabha elections. However, despite winning 240 seats, the BJP fell short of a majority, making the support of its allies crucial for government formation.
Now that the BJP allies are in a make or break position, they are reportedly negotiating plum posts for support in forming the government.&nbsp;
According to India Today, Chandrababu Naidu, leader of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), is reportedly vying for the position of Lok Sabha Speaker, in addition to demanding several cabinet berths for his party.&nbsp;
Similarly, Nitish Kumar, head of the Janata Dal (United), another crucial kingmaker is pushing for three significant cabinet positions.&nbsp;
As the BJP navigates these demands, the allocation of ministerial positions will be crucial in maintaining a cohesive and effective government moving forward. The outcome of these negotiations will significantly shape the political landscape and governance strategies in Modi's next term.

The most notable instance of winning an election from behind bars dates back to 1977. During the Emergency, George Fernandes clinched victory from the Muzaffarnagar seat while incarcerated. He was released before his oath ceremony.

What next for jailed Amritpal Singh, Engineer Rashid who won Lok Sabha election?

The most notable instance of winning an election from behind bars dates back to 1977. During the Emergency, George Fernandes clinched victory from the Muzaffarnagar seat while incarcerated. He was released before his oath ceremony.

Amid the surprising and stellar performance by the INDIA bloc in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, the results also saw unusual winners--Pro Khalistani leader Amritpal Singh and Engineer Rashid.
Both jailed candidates won the Lok Sabha seats with significant margins. While Singh--who is currently lodged in Assam's Dibrugarh jail under NSA contested the Khadoor Sahib seat in Punjab as an independent candidate, Engineer Rashid, also an independent candidate beat seasoned politician Omar Abdullah from Baramullah.
Now that both these candidates have been elected to the lower house, question arises what next. How are these jailed MPs going to act as parliamentarians. What about their oath?
Both Amritpal Singh and Rashid's election victory means that they now have a constitutional mandate as parliamentarians, despite being in prison. However, both lawmakers face serious charges. While Singh is jailed under National Security Act (NSA), Rashid is behind bars under stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) in an alleged terror-funding case
To fulfil their role as parliamentarians--the first step they need to take is swearing-in. Which is possible.
Going back into brief history, in March, amid money laundering charges and incarceration in Tihar, Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh received court approval to take his oath as a Rajya Sabha MP for a second term. The court directed the jail superintendent to ensure his secure transportation to Parliament and back.
In a similar vein, back in 2021, despite being in prison, Akhil Gogoi, after winning from Sibsagar, Assam, was permitted by an NIA court to briefly leave confinement for his Assam Legislative Assembly oath-taking ceremony.
It's crucial to understand that being granted permission to take oath doesn't equate to bail release but rather signifies a special parole for the day. Subsequently, the jailed lawmaker must inform the Speaker of their inability to attend proceedings, as per Article 101(4) of the Constitution, which mandates seat vacancy if an MP misses over 60 days without permission.
For participation in Parliament sessions or voting, the lawmaker must seek court approval. However, only a conviction resulting in a two-year or longer sentence would lead to parliamentary disqualification.

The resolution said the NDA government will continue working to lift people's living standards for the country's all-round development while conserving its heritage.

Leaders of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance unanimously elected Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the ruling bloc's leader on Wednesday, passing a resolution to underscore the government's commitment to serving the poor, women, youths, farmers and deprived sections of society.
They met at Modi's residence in New Delhi a day after the NDA won a majority of seats in the Lok Sabha election, paving the way for him to take the oath for a third consecutive term, a first for any ruling alliance since 1962.
TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, LJP(R) leader Chirag Paswan and NCP leader Praful Patel were among those who attended the meeting.
The resolution said the NDA government will continue working to lift people's living standards for the country's all-round development while conserving its heritage.
"We are all proud that the NDA fought the 2024 Lok Sabha polls unitedly under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and won. We all NDA leaders unanimously elect Narendra Modi as our leader," it added.
The resolution also said that people have seen the country being developed in every sector in the last 10 years due to the pro-people policies of the NDA government under Modi.&nbsp;

Mallikarjun Kharge invites parties with 'shared values' to join INDIA bloc

Kharge also said that the election mandate is decisively against caretaker Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his style of politics.

The INDIA bloc would welcome all parties that share a fundamental commitment to the values enshrined in the Preamble of Constitution, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said on Wednesday at the first meeting of the opposition grouping after its impressive gains in Lok Sabha polls.
Addressing the opposition leaders who converged at his residence, Kharge said all INDIA alliance partners fought well, unitedly and resolutely.
"The mandate is decisively against Mr Modi, against him and the substance and style of his politics. It is a huge political loss for him personally apart from being a clear moral defeat as well. However, he is determined to subvert the will of the people," he said.
"The INDIA alliance welcomes all parties which share its fundamental commitment to the values enshrined in the Preamble to our Constitution and to its many provisions for economic, social and political justice," the Congress chief said in his opening remarks.
Thanking the INDIA bloc partners, he said, "I welcome all INDIA alliance partners. We fought well, fought unitedly, fought resolutely."

President Droupadi Murmu orders dissolving of 17th Lok Sabha

The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won a majority in the Lok Sabha election.

President Droupadi Murmu dissolved the 17th Lok Sabha on Wednesday on the advice of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Cabinet, according to the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
The Cabinet, in its meeting held on Wednesday, advised the President to dissolve the current Lok Sabha with immediate effect, it said.
"The President has accepted the advice of the Cabinet on 05.06.2024 and signed the Order dissolving the 17th Lok Sabha in exercise of the powers conferred upon her by Sub-clause (b) of Clause (2) of Article 85 of the Constitution," a communique issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan read.
The term of the current Lok Sabha was to end on June 16.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi tendered his resignation to President Murmu, who accepted it and asked him to continue till the new government assumes office.
The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) won a majority in the Lok Sabha election.
While the NDA is comfortably above the majority mark of 272 in the 543-member Lok Sabha, the BJP, which won 240 seats, has fallen short of the magic number for the first time since 2014 and is critically dependent on its allies for government formation.&nbsp;

Will top BJP allies stay in NDA or leave? Modi 3.0 hangs in the balance

NDA allies are going to want their pound of flesh, considering the reported snub by the BJP over the past decade.

After two terms of absolute power, the BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fallen sort of the majority mark in the Lok Sabha. The party will need the support of its NDA allies to form the government for a third time.
But the allies are going to want their pound of flesh, considering the reported snub by the saffron party over the past decade.
With Telugu Desam Party (TDP) winning 16 seats, Chandrababu Naidu support to the NDA is conditional.&nbsp;
However, the trickier alliance for the BJP is that with Nitish Kumar's JDU, considering his constant flip-flops.
The breakaway factions of the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) may have to take a relook at their strategies and alliances, given their under-performace on the ballot.
Last, but not the least, Chirag Paswan's Lok Janashakti Party (Ram Vilas) will get bargaining power if, and only if, INDIA bloc just needs five more seats to form the government.

Sonia Gandhi ‘smiles’, ‘Modi fear’ behind covert INDIA plan; decoding Nitish-Tejashwi plane-meet 

Sonia Gandhi &lsquo;smiles&rsquo;, &lsquo;Modi fear&rsquo; behind covert INDIA plan; decoding Nitish-Tejashwi plane-meet&nbsp;

Many would think this aerial meeting between frienmies Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav is coincidental, many would disagree. Those siding with the coincidence discourse would say that the chacha-bhateja rendezvous was because most politicians from Bihar hop onto the 1 hour 45-minute morning flight to Delhi in case they have meetings in the national capital. &nbsp; &nbsp; Both Tejashwi and Nitish had hectic parleys planned. &nbsp; &nbsp; But those in disagreement would claim that the two leaders would have talked beyond the 10-second video and a picture that was released. They would also question why these multimedia pieces were released in the first case, especially when Nitish&rsquo;s party had made it clear that switching sides was not a possibility. &nbsp; &nbsp; For a precise answer, a rewind and search button on our mobile phones would be handy. Listen to RJD leader, Tejashwi.&nbsp; &nbsp; This was Nitish&rsquo;s former deputy in the heat of Lok Sabha election campaign. In politics, civility always means that the door is ajar. That INDIA bloc door is ajar could be read from this remark. &nbsp; Recall, Nitish was instrumental in the formation of INDIA bloc, which is a loose formation of political groups opposing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and has emerged as a formidable opponent. But the switch to NDA at the beginning of this year saw him holding kamal as he stood atop a truck with PM Modi during a roadshow in Patna. &nbsp; And then there was this public pledge&nbsp; Rewind to August 9, 2022. This was another public pledge that the 9-time Bihar chief minister had made. &nbsp; The flip flops, that have earned Nitish the moniker Paltu Kumar essentially is the proverbial politicians make strange bedfellows, a fact that the Congress understands when it comes to dealing with Janata Dal United chief. &nbsp; A Sonia Gandhi, joining the Congress press meet after the election result, and this smile on her face could be read as a plan that is in process. Rewind 20 years back, the Italian-born Indian bahun had been instrumental in taking United Progressive Alliance to power despite the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led BJP emerging as the single largest party. &nbsp; Let&rsquo;s get back to the plane video and now ask, was the chacha-bhatija cordiality a signal for Prime Minister Modi?

PM Modi says 'opportunistic' INDIA bloc ‘failed to strike chord with voters’, Cong hits back

In a tweet, the Prime Minister hit out at the oppostion bloc calling its leaders, casteist, corrupt and communal.&nbsp;

As exit polls predicted a landslide win for the BJP-led NDA in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, PM Modi posted on X, saying, "The opportunistic INDI Alliance failed to strike a chord with the voters. They are casteist, communal and corrupt. This alliance, aimed to protect a handful of dynasties, failed to present a futuristic vision for the nation. Through the campaign, they only enhanced their expertise on one thing- Modi bashing. Such regressive politics has been rejected by the people."

Amritpal Singh's mother distributes sweets, brings 'new set of clothes' for oath ceremony

Incarcerated under the stringent National Security Act, which allows the detention of individuals for up to 12 months without pressing formal charges, Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh have moved a court in Assam seeking to attend the upcoming Lok Sabha session, so that he can take oath as a member of the lower house of the Parliament. Amritpal's parents and his wife have been campaigning in Dibrugarh&nbsp;since the news of the Sikh preacher, who has openly expressed his sympathies with Khalistan groups, winning the Lok Sabha election from Khadoor Sahib in Punjab trickled on June 4.&nbsp; Photos on the internet showed Amritpal's parents distributing sweets among the prison staff and guards to celebrate their son&rsquo;s victory. His mother Balwinder Kaur said that she brought a new set of clothes and shoes for her son which he will 'need for his oath taking as a MP'.
While his family moved a plea for his temporary release for the oath taking ceremony, Amritpal will only be released after the approval of the District Magistrate and the jail authorities.&nbsp;
The 'Waris Punjab de' chief who is in jail since March 2023 won by 1,97,120 votes as an independent candidate by defeating Congress' Kulbir Singh Zira.

Was this Shashi Tharoor's last election? Congress leader reveals

Tharoor said that one needs to know when to step aside for younger blood to come in and have a crack at it.

Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Friday said if the next Lok Sabha polls take place five years down the line, he does not see himself contesting another election for the Lower House as he believes that one needs to know when to step aside for the younger blood to come in.
In Kerala's Thiruvananthapuram Lok Sabha seat, Tharoor beat Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar by 16,077 votes to register his fourth straight victory from the constituency.
Asked if this election was his electoral politics swansong, Tharoor told PTI, "Not electoral politics but certainly Lok Sabha. I think I have done my bit and I honestly feel that at some point, we all need to know when to step aside for younger blood to come in and have a crack at it." "The Lok Sabha is certainly a very important institution. I have done my very best for my constituents and I will continue doing so but there are ways of serving in public life without necessarily having to do it that way. I think if the election is five years from hence, I don't really see myself at that stage wanting to have another go at the Lok Sabha," the former Union minister said.
Tharoor added that but for now, there are five years to serve and he is determined to do his best for the people he represents during that time.
Asked about the close fight and if the Left made it difficult for him, Tharoor said CPI candidate Pannyan Raveendran took two and a half lakh votes.
"But the other is the three areas that are represented by the CPI(M), the CPI candidate came last and the BJP candidate came first. There are some legitimate questions being asked as to how exactly and why exactly that happened. But you know at the end of the day, a victory is a victory and we are savouring it as sweet," Tharoor told PTI.
On the BJP winning its first seat in Kerala with actor-politician Suresh Gopi winning the Thrissur seat by a huge margin, Tharoor said it needs to be taken seriously as for the first time one seat has gone to the BJP.
"But I must say Suresh Gopi, whom I know well and he supported me in 2009 is not a typical BJP candidate. He went out of his way to declare his secular credentials, appealed overtly to the minority voters in Thrissur particularly to the Christian community, and had this personal quality of being a celebrity candidate, a well regarded movie star as well as the host of the Malayalam edition of the Kaun Banega Crorepati," Tharoor said.
"All of these make him a very unusual figure and it may not be that easily replicable elsewhere. Certainly if the BJP is going to abandon its communal message and go for the kind of secular campaign that Gopi led, perhaps they might do better but right now they have just gone from being a 13 per cent party in keral to a 16 per cent party in Kerala," Tharoor said.

In a video shared by Pawan&rsquo;s team on X (formerly Twitter), the newly elected MLA is seen arriving home with his wife, Anna Lezhneva, and son, Akira Nandan.

Overwhelmed by the heartwarming gesture, the veteran actor is seen beaming with joy and pride as he hugs Ram, Varun, Niharika and other family members.&nbsp;
Before heading inside the house, Pawan bows down and touches his brother Chiranjeevi&rsquo;s feet. Chiranjeevi quickly pulls his leg before garlanding him. The family then celebrates the power star's thumping win with a cake-cutting ceremony.&nbsp;
Earlier, megastar Chiranjeevi also congratulated Pawal Kalyan on social media and wrote, "I am also supremely delighted at how my dear brother Pawan Kalyan steadfastly strived to ensure the Alliance WIN, keeping the people&rsquo;s interests in mind. Heartiest Congratulations to you all !!! (sic)."
Pawan Kalyan's JanaSena Party won all the 21 seats they contested in Andhra Pradesh. The actor met party activists at his office on Wednesday and expressed his gratitude to all those who voted him in power.

In comparison, 475 winning candidates, or 88 percent, were millionaires in 2019, and 443, or 82 percent, in 2014

93% of the candidates who won the 2024 Lok Sabha elections are millionaires, up from 88% in 2019, according to an analysis by the Association of Democratic Reforms or ADR. Out of 543 winning candidates, 504 are millionaires. The top three wealthiest candidates are TDP's Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani from Andhra Pradesh's Guntur constituency with assets worth 5,705 crore rupees, BJP's Konda Vishweshwar Reddy from Telangana's Chevella with 4,568 crore rupees, and BJP's Naveen Jindal from Haryana&rsquo;s Kurukshetra with 1,241 crore rupees.
In 2019, 475 (88 per cent) winning candidates were millionaires and 443 (82 per cent) in 2014.
The trend indicates a steady climb since 2009 when only 315 (58 per cent) MPs were millionaires.

All winning candidates of the AAP (3), the JDU (12) and the TDP (16) are millionaires, ADR data showed.
The analysis also delves into candidates&rsquo; chances of winning based on their financial backgrounds.
It found that the probability of a millionaire candidate clinching victory in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections stood at 19.6 per cent, compared to a meagre 0.7 per cent for candidates with assets less than a crore.
The analysis also provides a breakdown of wealth distribution among the winning candidates.
The data showed that 42 per cent of the candidates possess assets totalling Rs 10 crore and above.
While 19 per cent of the candidates fall within the bracket of Rs 5 to 10 crore, 32 per cent hold assets ranging between Rs 1 and 5 crore.
Only about 1 per cent of the winning candidates have assets worth less than Rs 20 lakh.

The factionalism in AIADMK cost the party dearly in the 2024 Lok Sabha election. The party which is currently led by Edappadi K Palaniswami failed to win even a single seat.
Smelling an opportunity, former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam has now called for reuniting the two factions.
However, former state Minister K P Munusamy of the EPS camp dismissed the appeal as nothing but an attempt to create confusion.
