On December 11th, 2023, Madhya Pradesh witnessed a change in leadership as Mohan Yadav was sworn in as the new Chief Minister of the state. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made the decision after consulting with the party’s core group and senior MLAs. Yadav replaces Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who had served as the Chief Minister for four consecutive terms.

Mohan Yadav Rise to Power

Mohan Yadav is a seasoned politician with over two decades of experience in public service. He started his political career as a student leader and advanced through the BJP’s ranks. He has served in the party in several capacities, including general secretary of the state BJP unit and state president of the BJP Youth Wing.

In the 2018 Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, Yadav was elected as a MLA from the Rehli constituency. He was then named to the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government as the Minister of Agriculture. Yadav received recognition as a minister for increasing agricultural output and implementing farmer-friendly policies.

Challenges and Expectations

Mohan Yadav takes over the reins of Madhya Pradesh at a crucial juncture. The state faces several challenges, including economic slowdown, unemployment, and a growing agrarian crisis. Yadav will be expected to address these issues and work towards creating a more prosperous and equitable Madhya Pradesh.

Yadav’s Vision for Madhya Pradesh

After being sworn in, Yadav outlined his vision for the state in his address. He promised to focus on agriculture, education, and healthcare. He also emphasized the need for good governance and transparency.

Enhancing the quality of life for farmers will be my first goal. “We’re going to put policies into place that will boost agricultural output and guarantee fair prices for their produce,” stated Yadav.

He also discussed the value of healthcare and education. “We will invest heavily in education and healthcare to create a healthy and educated workforce,” Yadav stated.

Reactions to Yadav’s Appointment

Many, including essential state figures and senior BJP officials, have hailed Yadav’s appointment. Nonetheless, his inexperience as Chief Minister has drawn criticism from some.

Only time will tell whether Mohan Yadav can live up to the expectations and lead Madhya Pradesh towards a brighter future. However, his appointment signals a new chapter in the state’s political history and raises hopes for positive change.

Additional Information

• The other two leaders considered for the Chief Minister’s post were Jagdish Devda and Rajendra Shukla. Both of them have been appointed as Deputy Chief Ministers.
• The Madhya Pradesh Assembly’s following speaker is experienced BJP leader and former Union minister Narinder Singh Tomar.

Madhya Pradesh is poised for a new era with Mohan Yadav at the wheel. The state’s future will rely on its capacity to deal with its problems and carry out its growth plan.

With the holidays around the corner, people are bidding adieu to the year 2023, and on the other side, the capital is terrorized by the rising air tainting. The city has been in an alarming situation with deteriorating air quality.

The industrial areas have been heavily affecting the air quality. On one side the country’s infrastructure is booming and the city’s AQI is at its severe stage. With all of this, the city folks are still running from place to place; juggling things between home to office. 

As the city is working under high alert AQI, here are some ways to avoid and protect us from being affected by the polluted air.

Here are ways to protect ourselves from smog and any breathing issues 

Wearing a mask can be a great solution

The primary step to protect yourself from any respiratory problem, is to cover your mouth with a scarf or a cloth mask. The mask can be an effective measure to minimize the chances of any breathing issues. 

Avoid traveling in fuel vehicles

Instead of taking your vehicle on the road or booking a taxi; one must opt for a subway or e-rickshaws (small distances) that cause less pollution to no pollution. 

Carpooling is a great alternative

In recent times, carpooling has become a dynamic alternative for traveling. Less usage of fuel will directly help in reducing the carbon being released into the environment. The most significant example is the odd-even policy that has been implemented in Delhi-NCR roads.

In a landmark ruling on Monday, the Supreme Court upheld the central government’s choice to repeal Article 370 of the Constitution in 2019. The five-judge panel headed by Chief Justice India (CJI) DY Chandrachud ordered the restoration of statehood of that Union area in Jammu and Kashmir at the time, as well as to direct the Election Commission of India (ECI) to conduct elections for the legislature before September 30th, 2024.

The five-judge bench, which includes Chief Justice DY Chandrachud as well as justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, and Surya Kant (PTI). The apex court also confirmed the legitimacy of the decision to cut out the Union Territory of Ladakh from Jammu and Kashmir on August 5th, 2019.

Here are the main conclusions from the SC’s verdict on abrogation of Article 370:

• CJI Chandrachud held that every decision made by the federal government on behalf of states could not be subject to legal challenges and could cause the State’s government to reach an impasse.
• The court further stated that the president of India could abrogate Article 370 without requiring a recommendation from Jammu and Kashmir assembly members.
• It was also determined in favor of the concept that consultation (with parties) was not a prerequisite when exercising executive power.
• The CJI further stated that Article 370 was an interim arrangement to deal with the conflict conditions in the former State.
• “The proclamation of Maharaja stated that the Constitution of India will supersede. With this, the para of Instrument of Accession ceases to exist…Article 370 was an interim arrangement due to war conditions in the State. Textual reading also indicates that Article 370 is a temporary provision,” the court noted.
• Prime Minister Modi Monday described his Monday speech on the Supreme Court verdict on the abrogation of Article 370 as “historic.” Modi declared the ruling a “resounding declaration of hope, progress, unity for our sisters and brothers in J&K, Ladakh.”
• The members of the Gupkar alliance, including PDP head Mehbooba Mufti and NC vice president Omar Abdullah, claimed they were detained in the house before the SC verdict was due to be announced.
• However, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha had dismissed the assertions, calling them “baseless”. Srinagar Police also clarified that Srinagar Police also clarified, “No person has been put under house arrest.”

Talk of the ‘Animal’ starring Ranbir Kapoor, has portrayed the Brahmastra actor in the darkest avatar he has ever performed. ‘Animal’ has broken all the records with a single stroke. With the most extensive box office collection, Ranbir Kapoor’s latest movie faces criticism and commendation. 

The movie has surpassed Salman Khan starrer ‘Tiger 3’ but has fallen short with Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’. Now, ‘Dunki’ is on the radar of becoming the ultimate 2023 mega-hit in Bollywood. Many polls have been conducted by leading news portals about whether or not Dunki will become the 2023 box office smasher defeating ‘Animal.’

Talking about ‘Dunki,’ the movie revolves around friends who challenge society by taking the most difficult way to reach London. The trailer has surpassed all the expectations of critics and fans. The movie is set to be released on December 21 and is super hyped by Shahrukh Khan fans. 

On the other hand, ‘Animal’ revolves around Ranvijay, who has taken his father’s path to the underworld and seeks revenge on his family. The critics gave the movie a thumbs-up and applauded Ranbir’s performance post-Brahmastra. 

The movie has given viewers ample fun, but to critics, it’s dark and full of toxic masculinity, and the juxtaposition of women characters has led the movie to an ‘A’ certification. 

Since the critics have given Animal a toxicity tag, Dunki is a complete entertainer. Whom are you vouching for?

The result of five days of nonstop counting, forty counting machines, and fifty bank officials is a staggering ₹ 353.5 crore cash seizure from an Odisha-based distillery owned by the family of a Congress MP. This extraordinary haul breaks all previous records as the largest single seizure ever made by any Indian investigative agency.

The income tax department conducted searches on properties connected to Congress Rajya Sabha MP from Jharkhand, Dhiraj Prasad Sahu, in Ranchi and other locations. 

One post from 2022 on X that seems innocuous enough, but talks about widespread corruption and the flow of black money, has gone viral on social media. It is ironic to note that the post was authored by Dheeraj Sahu, a Congress MP from Rajya Sabha who was involved in a huge cash grab of ₹ 353 crore.

BJP’s Chief IT Cell Officer Amit Malviya shared a screenshot of the post and commented, “Corruption ki dukaan” with a “dark sense of humour” on Mr Sahu’s part.

The fifth day of the Income Tax raids on Boudh Distilleries Private Limited’s property began today. Today, Boudh Distilleries, which is associated with Dheeraj Sahu, installed additional cash-counting machines on their premises. The MP’s homes in Jharkhand had previously been raided by officials.

The Congress withdrew from its MP on Saturday, claiming that it has no connection to the businesses and that the MP ought to explain the cash and its source, in response to harsh criticism regarding the enormous sums of hard currency found in what is being hailed as one of India’s largest cash hauls.

In response to the recovery, the BJP unleashed a full-scale offensive against the Congress, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi spearheading the campaign. The prime minister wrote on X: “The people of the nation should look at these mountains of cash before paying attention to the sincere speeches of their leaders. Every penny that has been taken from the general public must be reimbursed. Modi has promised to do this.” Questioning the Congress, Union Minister Smriti Irani demanded that the Gandhi family disclose the identity of the leader whom the Rajya Sabha MP was acting as an “ATM”.

A potent counteroffensive was launched on Sunday by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) against the Congress and other opposition parties. Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that their previous claims that the government was abusing its investigative powers are now simply “propaganda,” motivated by their inability to face consequences for their purported corruption.

The Central Bureau of Investigation’s investigation has been demanded by the BJP’s Odisha unit, which has also asked the ruling BJD for an explanation. Manoj Mohapatra, the party spokesperson, displayed pictures of a female state minister sharing the platform with one of the liquor dealers who was targeted by the raids. According to him, the state government and local authorities’ active support and patronage were essential to making this tax evasion possible.

Fears of an Israel-Hamas conflict escalation are growing in the wake of Iran-backed Shia Houthi aggression in the Red Sea that targets Israel-bound maritime traffic. This conflict will likely spread to the sea lanes close to the Gulf of Aden unless the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) step in to prevent the Iranian proxy group from disrupting the maritime theatre.

While the French Navy’s multi-mission frigate Languedoc downed two Houthi drones on December 9 in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen, if the international community doesn’t pressure Houthi handlers in Tehran to desist from using ballistic missiles, hijackings, and armed drones to target maritime traffic heading toward Israel, the Israelis are threatening to take on the Iran proxies on their own.

The state of affairs in the Red Sea and the Aden coast is still unstable, and any Houthi attack on a vessel could be a catalyst for the conflict to worsen and affect international maritime trade. In response to the crisis, India sent its guided missile destroyer, the INS Mormugao, to the coast of Aden, highlighting the importance of the 49-nation Combined Maritime Forces protecting maritime traffic to South Asia.

Ballistic missile attacks against commercial ships are a feature of the Houthi escalation in the Red Sea. Notably, on December 3, 2023, these attacks struck three vessels. Three Houthi drones that were attacking ships, including the Unity Explorer, were neutralized by the USS Carney as part of an American military intervention. Missile strikes also damaged Number 9 and Sophie II, among other vessels, to differing degrees.

The USS Carney, a destroyer in the American Navy, participated in defensive maneuvers as part of the American military’s intervention during these attacks. During the attack, the USS Carney shot down three Houthi drones supplied by Iran, two of which were aimed at the bulk carrier Unity Explorer flying the flag of the Bahamas. A missile struck the Unity Explorer close to the ship, and another struck it again, causing minor damage. Missiles also struck two other commercial ships, the bulk carriers Number 9 and Sophie II, flying the Panamanian flag. The Sophie II reported no significant damage, and the Number 9 reported some damage but no casualties.

The attacks were carried out in retaliation against Israeli actions in Gaza, according to Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree is a spokesman for the Houthi military. In the context of the more significant Israel-Hamas conflict, these incidents represent a concerning uptick in maritime attacks that directly jeopardize regional and international marine safety.

In response, the United States has increased its presence in the Red Sea, with the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower conducting operations there, a first since 2021. The deployment of the USS Philippine Sea and USS Mason as part of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group underscores the increased presence of the United States and NATO in the region.

These events highlight the heightened tensions and possible threats to the region’s stability, raising questions about the security of the Middle East’s maritime routes. The seriousness of these attacks has been underlined by U.S. Central Command, which is also taking into account the necessary steps to counter this emerging threat.

TMC leader Mahua Moitra is no longer an MP. After he was found guilty of unethical conduct, his membership of the Lok Sabha was revoked. The Ethics Committee found Mahua Moitra guilty of asking questions after taking money and recommended termination of her Lok Sabha membership. The report of the Ethics Committee headed by BJP MP Vinod Sonkar was tabled in the Lok Sabha and discussed. After the discussion, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla sought the opinion of the members on the proposal placed before the House whether they were in favor or against the termination of Moitra’s membership. Then the decision to cancel Mahua Moitra’s Lok Sabha membership was passed by voice vote. After leaving the House, Mahua raised questions on the Ethics Committee report.

Earlier, during the discussion on the Ethics Committee report, TMC MPs Sudip Bandopadhyay and Kalyan Banerjee sought permission to allow Mahua Moitra to speak on behalf of the party. However, on behalf of the government, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi gave the example of canceling the membership of 10 MPs in the year 2005. He said that the then Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee had clearly said that since the MPs had got the opportunity to present their case before the Ethics Committee, now after being found guilty of bringing down the dignity of the Parliament, they would lose the moral right to speak in the House.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla also told TMC MPs that as per the accepted traditions of the House, Mahua cannot be allowed to speak. During the discussion, Mahua Moitra stood on her seat several times with the document of the speech, but she had to sit down every time. She could not speak even a single word.

During the discussion in the House, the issue of Cash for Query of 2005 also came up, when 10 members of Lok Sabha and one member of Rajya Sabha were expelled. During the discussion on the recommendation of the Ethics Committee in the Mahua Moitra case, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary accused the government of haste in this matter. On this, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi, while referring to the Cash for Query case of 2005, said that then 10 MPs were expelled without even hearing their side. Later, during the discussion on the Ethics Committee report, TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee also said that Mahua Moitra should also be given a chance to express her views. By the way, the Ethics Committee had also summoned Moitra.

Mahua Moitra is accused of asking questions in Parliament on behalf of industrialist Darshan Hiranandani in return for expensive gifts. Not only this, she is accused of having disclosed her parliamentary login ID and password to Hiranandani so that she could ask questions directly.
