Big relief for AAP in Delhi mayor polls; SC says nominated members can't vote

The Supreme Court on Friday said the nominated members of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) cannot vote in the mayoral election.
A bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala directed that the election of the Delhi mayor shall be conducted at the first MCD meet and once elected, the mayor shall preside over the deputy mayor's election.
"We have heard the counsel for the parties. We are unable to accept the submission on behalf of the municipal corporation. The Constitution has imposed a restriction in terms of which nominated members do not have the right to vote. The prohibition on nominated members in the exercise of the right to vote applies on the first meeting.
"The notice for the election of mayor and the first meeting of the MCD shall be issued within 24 hours and the notice shall fix the date at which the elections of mayor, deputy mayor and standing committee members shall be held," the bench said.
The top court's order came on a plea moved by the ruling Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) mayoral candidate, Shelly Oberoi, seeking an early conduct of the election.
The apex court had, on February 8, sought the responses of the lieutenant governor's (LG) office, MCD's pro-tem presiding officer Satya Sharma and others on Oberoi's plea.

Delhi LG alleges violation by AAP, seeks removal of govt nominees from Anil Ambani-owned DISCOMs Board
 

According to the Raj Niwas statement, their nomination to the Boards of the DISCOMs was patently illegal since the due process of law was not followed and their appointment was void ab initio.
&nbsp;

Alleging "total violation of Constitutional provisions" by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in illegal appointment of private individuals as government nominees on the Board of Anil Ambani-owned DISCOMs BRPL (BSES Rajdhani Power Limited) and BYPL (BSES Yamuna Power Limited), Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Friday asked for the removal of these nominees and replace them with Senior Government Officers, as had been the practice in the past. These nominees include AAP Spokesperson Jasmine Shah, Naveen ND Gupta (son of AAP MP, ND Gupta), Umesh Tyagi and JS Deswal.
According to the Raj Niwas statement, their nomination to the Boards of the DISCOMs was patently illegal since the due process of law was not followed and their appointment was void ab initio. The LG has taken these decisions on the basis of an inquiry report submitted by the Delhi Power Department and the Chief Secretary in light of a complaint dated September 26, 2022.
These compromised nominees provided undue financial benefits running into thousands of crores to Ambani's DISCOMs, at the cost of the state exchequer and Delhi government-run undertakings (DTL, IPGCL and PPCL). LG has asked for Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to be informed about this and action be taken. It has been brought out in the report that, these private individuals were illegally appointed surreptitiously by the AAP government as 'government nominees' on the Board of BRPL and BYPL in 2019, despite written objections on file by the then LG, Najeeb Jung on November 1, 2016 and LG, Anil Baijal on August 11, 2017.

Punjab CM was admitted to a Delhi hospital on Tuesday evening following which a video of him drinking a glassful of water from a river has been doing the rounds on social media leading to speculations that the act caused him stomach infection.

Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann in hospital after having a glass of water from polluted river

The Punjab CM was invited by Rajya Sabha MP Baba Balbir Singh Seechewal to take part in the 22nd anniversary of the cleaning up of the Kali Bein river which is subjected to sewage discharge from neighbouring dwellings.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was admitted to Delhi's Indraprastha Apollo Hospital on Tuesday evening following which a video of him drinking a glassful of water from a river has been doing the rounds on social media leading to speculations that the act caused him stomach infection.
In the video posted on Twitter, Mann could be seen scooping a glass of water from Kali Bein, a river in Sultanpur Lodhi, and gulping it down as he is being cheered on by bystanders and supporters.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of which Mann is a member has, however, dismissed the reports and said that the Punjab CM visited the hospital for a routine check-up.
The video is from last week when Mann was invited by Rajya Sabha MP Baba Balbir Singh Seechewal to take part in the 22nd anniversary of the cleaning up of the river.
Following the clean up, Mann drank water from the river which is subjected to sewage discharge from neighbouring dwellings.&nbsp;

The protesters, including Delhi Congress president Anil Kumar, marched from Sushruta Trauma Centre towards Kejriwal's residence but were stopped by the Delhi Police at a barricade.
"The AAP government is responsible for the daylight murder of Sidhu Moosewala. Arvind Kejriwal should answer why Moosewala's security cover was withdrawn although his life was under threat and it was known to intelligence agencies in Punjab," Kumar said.
The Punjabi singer and Congress leader was shot dead by unidentified attackers in Mansa district of Punjab on Sunday, a day after his security was curtailed by AAP government in the state.

In a late-night relief, the Punjab and Haryana High Court stayed a fresh arrest warrant against BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga whose dramatic arrest by the Punjab Police and subsequent release triggered an intense political slugfest between the AAP and the BJP on Saturday.
Justice Anoop Chitkara took up Bagga's petition in an urgent hearing at his residence just before midnight and directed that no coercive steps be taken against him till May 10, hours after a Mohali court issued the non-bailable arrest warrant, the BJP leader's counsel Chetan Mittal said.
In the political arena, the slugfest between the AAP and the BJP escalated into protests and name-calling.
Back home in the early hours of Saturday, Bagga, surrounded by family members and friends at his Janakpuri residence, tore into the Aam Aadmi Party and its chief Arvind Kejriwal over his arrest, accusing him of pursuing political vendetta through police in Punjab.
"No matter one or 100 FIRs are registered against me, I will keep raising issues of dishonouring of the Guru Granth Sahib and Kejriwal's insult to Kashmiri Pandits," he said.
"They (the AAP) are attacking me because I am raising my voice against the AAP and its chief Kejriwal," he said.
BJP leaders also protested outside the residence of the Delhi Chief Minister, calling him a "dictator".
The AAP accused the BJP and its governments of protecting its "goon" who incited riots in Punjab.
Bagga's arrest in the case filed by AAP leader Sunny Ahluwalia at Mohali on April 1 witnessed the Punjab Police pitted against their counterparts from Haryana and Delhi.
The Delhi Police has filed a case of kidnapping over his arrest. As Punjab Police was taking him to AAP-ruled state, they were stopped by their Haryana counterparts. Bagga was later brought to the national capital by the Delhi Police, taken to the DDU hospital as a Medico-Legal-Case (MLC) before being produced in front of a Dwarka court magistrate.
"The medical examination revealed injury marks on his body,” the Delhi Police said on Saturday. "Bagga expressed apprehension over his safety and security. We will do necessary security arrangements," a senior officer said.
Bagga claimed that while he was being taken to Punjab after his arrest, the police tried to persuade him not to raise issues pertaining to dishonouring of Guru Granth Sahib and 'The Kashmir Files' movie. "They told me why I was getting myself involved with matters of other state when I lived in Delhi." Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta alleged that with Bagga's arrest, it was clear that the Aam Aadmi Party's national convener had "misused" the Punjab Police for personal benefit.
"Kejriwal is a dictator. What was Bagga's crime? He just asked for Kejriwal's clarification on his remarks on '(The) Kashmir Files'. He was not allowed to wear a turban during the arrest," he said. "The BJP will not tolerate the insult to the turban." The National Commission for Minorities (NCM) also sought a report from Punjab chief secretary within seven days on allegations that Bagga was not allowed to wear a turban while being arrested by Punjab police.
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia alleged the entire BJP and its governments are engaged in saving one of their "goons who spoke against the brotherhood in Punjab and incited riots".
"The BJP is a party of goons which makes even its government do the job of goons. Never even by mistake, these people talk about education, health, inflation and unemployment," he tweeted in Hindi.
But even as Bagga and the BJP launched tirades against the AAP, a court in Mohali issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Bagga for allegedly promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion and criminal intimidation), among other charges.
The arrest warrant was issued by the court of Judicial Magistrate Ravtesh Inderjit Singh.
In its order, the court said, "Keeping in view the contents of the application and the fact that sufficient opportunities have already been granted to the accused to join the investigation and despite that accused has failed to join the investigation, it is necessary in the interest of justice, to issue non-bailable warrants of accused Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga for 23.05.2022, who is evading arrest, in order to facilitate the investigation." Soon after, Bagga moved the high court and secured relief.
Also, the Punjab government Saturday moved two applications before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seeking the Centre and the Delhi Police chief be made parties to the arrest case, and that the May 6 CCTV footage of Janakpuri and Kurukshetra police stations be preserved.
The Punjab government has alleged that its police personnel were "detained" at Janakpuri and Kurukshetra police stations when they had gone to arrest Bagga.
After the hearing, the Delhi Police counsel alleged the Punjab Police did not follow laid down procedure while arresting Bagga, a claim rejected by the Pujab government counsel.
"The Punjab Police did not consult us or inform us before taking Mr Bagga into custody. Those who had gone there (to Bagga's home in Delhi) they were also not in uniform, they were in plainclothes," said Additional Solicitor General of India Satya Pal Jain, who represented the Delhi Police.
Punjab government counsel Poneet Bali told reporters outside the high court on Saturday that Bagga was served notices on five occasions, but he did not respond.
"The Punjab police has every right to arrest an accused," he said.
The hearing in the case was adjourned for May 10.
While referring to the kidnapping complaint, the counsel claimed the Delhi Police obtained a search warrant from a court without disclosing the fact that Bagga is an accused in a case and he has been arrested.
"So, whatever is the future course of action as far as Mr Bagga is concerned will definitely be taken." The ruling AAP's chief spokesperson for Punjab Malvinder Singh Kang claimed Bagga was a habitual offender. Her alleged Bagga faced more than 20 cases in Delhi, West Bengal and Chattisgarh.
"Such anti-social elements should get punishment as per the law of the land, but unfortunately the country's government is coming out in his support," he alleged.
"...This country will run according to law, Constitution, and not in an autocratic manner," Kang said.
The Congress also entered the debate with its leader P Chidambaram saying police serving their political masters will lead to the "ultimate breakdown" of federalism.

The BJP-ruled NDMC has scheduled an anti-encroachment drive on Wednesday and Thursday in Jahangirpuri, where clashes broke out during a Hanuman Jayanti procession, and has asked the Delhi Police to provide at least 400 personnel to maintain law and order.
Meanwhile, Delhi BJP chief Adesh Gupta on Tuesday wrote to the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) mayor to identify the illegal constructions of "rioters" in Jahangirpuri and demolish it using bulldozers.
The copy of the letter was also sent to commissioner of the municipal body.
Clashes broke out between two communities during the procession at Jahangirpuri on Saturday, leaving eight police personnel and a local resident injured. There was also stone-pelting and arson during the clashes and some vehicles were also torched.

The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP govt is all set to take its &lsquo;mohalla&rsquo; clinics or neighbourhood clinics initiative to the metro stations.
According to media reports, the Delhi govt will open mohalla clinics at eight metro stations in the national capital. The eight stations are Lal Quila, Chandni Chowk, Jama Masjid, Kashmere Gate, Rajiv Chowk, Uttam Nagar West, Ramesh Nagar and Nehru Enclave.
According to an Indian Express report, the AAP govt wants to set up the clinics outside the metro stations so that people don&rsquo;t have to buy a token in order to go inside the station and see the doctor.
The mohalla clinic initiative by AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal started in 2015. In the past 7 years, 505 mohalla clinics have been opened all over Delhi.&nbsp;
The clinics are generally set up in residential areas, markets, near schools so that Delhi citizens who cannot afford medical care can get themselves treated for free.

It's a good day for Arvind Kejriwal...
...just as predicted in exit polls....the Aam Aadmi party is now a Punjab giant.
With a landslide victory in the northern state, the Aam Aadmi Party is the first regional party to form govts in two states.
In a fitting tweet, Kejriwal wrote, "इस इंक़लाब के लिए पंजाब के लोगों को बहुत-बहुत बधाई"
In Punjab, the Aam Aadmi Party effectively positioned itself as an agent of change. Here are some factors that have worked for Kejriwal's party in Punjab:
1. Anti-incumbency & a divided Congress.
The chorus for change in Punjab grew louder, after two big parties which ruled Punjab for 70 years, failed to deliver.
The bitter infighting in the Congress, the rivalry between Amarinder Singh and Navjot Sidhu, which exploded into a public feud last year....gave the AAP a golden opportunity. 
The Congress also failed to consolidate Dalit votes under leader CM Charanjit Singh Channi.
A leadership crisis in the Punjab congress,  a clueless Congress high command,  puzzled voters on the ground who chose the AAP.
2. Bhagwant Mann as the CM face
One of Bhagwant Mann's formidable strengths is his likeability....
....the comedian has long captured hearts of many Punjabis with his political and social satire.
Punjab's Chief Minister-designate, unlike many political heavyweights in the state, also has a very strong connection with the ground, winning two back-to-back Lok Sabha elections from the Sangrur seat, where he enjoys support of the Sikh community.
3. Delhi model of governance
With kaam and kisaan as the key pillars, Aam Aadmi party's 10-point poll agenda also struck a chord with voters. Modelling the Punjab poll manifesto on the Delhi model of governance, Kerjiwal promised to provide health, power and water at cheap rates, end the drug menace, and give people a corruption-free government.
As the Congress govt failed to resolve the problem of unemployment, Kejriwal's first promise to Punjab voters, was to create jobs, in a Covid battered economy.
4. Farmers' protest
The year-long farmers' agitation is one of the key factors that worked in AAP's favour, as resentment built up traditional parties. While the overall sentiment of the protest was largely against the BJP, the Congress was unable to capitalise on the sentiment on the ground.
The Aam Aadmi Party, meanwhile, cashed in on this gap, with senior leaders like Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, and Raghav Chaddha regularly visiting protesters
So, what next for AAP?
The Aam Aadmi party is pitching itself as the main contender against the BJP in the Gujarat assembly polls, which are due in December this year. 
Buoyant on its Punjab win,  the AAP has a very real chance of emerging as an alternate political force in Gujarat, which has traditionally been a Congress or BJP stronghold.....
....The AAP is effectively filling a vacuum in the Opposition camp, so will the AAP emerge as a national force against the BJP in the run-up to 2024 general elections?

Explained: how will Delhi govt's 'Jahan Vote, Wahan Vaccine' campaign work

In order to increase Covid-19 vaccination coverage in the national capital, the Delhi government has announced 'Jahan&nbsp;Vote, Wahan&nbsp;Vaccination' campaign. Here's how it will work.

In order to increase Covid-19 vaccination coverage in the national capital, the Delhi government has announced 'Jahan&nbsp;Vote, Wahan&nbsp;Vaccination' campaign. Here's how it will work.

Polling booths in Delhi will be turned into vaccination centres and booth-level officers (BLOs) will visit all the households to book slots for people in the 45-plus age group under the &lsquo;Jahan Vote, Wahan Vaccination campaign, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Monday.
There are 57 lakh people in Delhi in the 45-plus age group and of them, 27 lakh have been given the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine while 30 lakh are yet to get the jab, Kejriwal said in an online briefing.
&ldquo;We have noticed that people in the 45-plus age group are not coming to vaccination centres set up by the Delhi government and vaccines are not being utilised,&rdquo; he said.
There are around 280 wards in Delhi. The BLOs will visit households in 72 wards from Tuesday to identify and send eligible persons for vaccination at the polling booths, he said.
The chief minister said polling booths are close to the homes of the people so they will not have to travel long distances to get the vaccine. Also, the government has arranged e-rickshaws to ferry people to the vaccination centres.
The BLOs will give slots for vaccination to people in the 45 plus age group at the nearest polling centre. In a cycle of five days, all the eligible persons will be covered.
&ldquo;After covering all the 280 wards in four weeks, the government will be able to say that all those eligible (45 years and above) have received the vaccines,&rdquo; Kejriwal said.
He said a similar drive will be conducted again for second dose vaccination after three months.
&ldquo;When we will get vaccines for the 18-44 age group in the required quantity, we will start this programme for them too,&rdquo; he added.

HC asks AAP govt if sufficient ICU beds vacant for non-COVID patients

The Delhi High Court on Monday asked the AAP government whether sufficient number of ICU beds is vacant for non-COVID patients. The court also sought a response on how the Delhi government planned to compensate private hospitals asked to make ICU beds available for COVID patients. The court posed the questions while issuing notice to the Centre and the Association of Healthcare Providers seeking their stand on Delhi government's plea that challenged its order staying the reservation of 80 per cent ICU beds for COVID-19 patients.

Cases rising due to increased testing, don't panic: Kejriwal

Amid a rise in the number of coronavirus cases in Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal&nbsp;sought to assure people that there is no need to panic as the situation is completely under control. Here's is why he thinks so.

PTI, New Delhi: Amid a rise in the number of coronavirus cases in Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday sought to assure people that there is no need to panic as the situation is completely under control.
Addressing an online media briefing, Kejriwal asserted that the number of cases is rising as the AAP government has doubled testing in the city.
Appealing to Delhiities to follow preventive measures against COVID-19, the chief minister said there is no scope for negligent attitude.
He said that his government has taken several steps to reduce deaths due to the virus in the national capital.
Kejriwal said that there is no shortage of hospital beds for COVID-19 patients in Delhi and added that out of 14,000 beds, only 5,000 are occupied.
"Out of 5,000 beds, 1,600-1,700 beds are occupied by those who belong to other states," he said.
On Friday, Delhi recorded 2,914 fresh COVID-19 cases, the highest single-day spike here in 69 days.
This is the fourth successive day in September when over 2,000 new COVID-19 cases have been reported in a day. Also, over 36,000 tests were conducted on Friday.&nbsp;
