In the push for OBC quota, BJP MP government aligns its argument with Congress's 'jitni abaadi, utna haq' pitch
The BJP government in Madhya Pradesh, led by Mohan Yadav, is advocating in the Supreme Court for an increase in the reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) from 14% to 27%. This initiative would violate the top court's quota ceiling of 50%. It appears to resonate with Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi's call for “jitni abaadi, utna haq (representation proportional to population).”In an affidavit submitted on September 23 before the Supreme Court proceedings that commenced Wednesday, the Madhya Pradesh government referenced 2011 Census data, stating that disadvantaged groups including Scheduled Castes (SCs) at 15.6% of the population, Scheduled Tribes (STs) at 21.1%, and OBCs at over 51% together constitute over 87% of the state's population. On Sunday, veteran Congress politician Kamal Nath charged that the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh was perpetrating a “drama” under the pretext of providing a 27 percent reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBCs). He claimed that the ruling party aimed to deny this community its rights. The OBC quota was raised from 14% to 27% by an ordinance under Nath's Congress government in 2019, but litigation prevented its implementation.Nath asserted in an X post that the Mohan Yadav government was using court procedures and legal advice as a repeated excuse to protect itself.

The BJP is predicted to take the majority of seats in the 70-member Delhi Assembly after Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ruled for ten years. It may even win more than 40 seats. Congress is predicted to stay mostly in power, while the AAP, which is running for a third consecutive term, fears a serious setback.Based on surveys by multiple agencies, the exit polls have consistently shown the BJP to be winning. The AAP is only expected to win 28 seats, while the BJP is expected to win 41 seats, according to NDTV's Poll of Exit Polls. Only one seat is anticipated to be won by the Congress, which is a little improvement from its zero seats in prior elections. With the BJP seeking to regain control of Delhi for the first time in twenty years, this represents a dramatic change.AAP Dismisses Forecasts for the Exit Poll The AAP is still hopeful in spite of the exit poll forecasts.

We will establish the government and observe results that favor the AAP. The hope for the AAP is in.

As the nation commemorates the centennial of Vajpayee's birth, his legacy endures.
The centennial of Atal Bihari Vajpayee honors his important political accomplishments to India. He served a full term as India's first prime minister who was not a member of the Congress. Vajpayee continues to play an admirable role in Indo-Pakistan ties, coalition politics, and effective administration. He was a great statesman and orator who had a long-lasting effect on national policy and parliamentary democracy in India.Using his trademark flourish, Atal Bihari Vajpayee made one of his most well-known predictions during the BJP's first convention at Shivaji Park in Mumbai on December 30, 1980: "Andhera chhatega, suraj niklega, kamal khilega" (darkness will end, the sun will rise, lotus will bloom).

He stood tall with his natural democratic spirit, which he had developed over decades of opposition.
