Is the Congress-NC alliance in J&K in trouble?

It was supposed to be a piece of the Congress’s continued upswing in the Assembly elections but the party appears to be in an uncomfortable position in J&K, where it has an alliance with National Conference for the assembly polls. The party is leading the charge in Jammu. But things apparently have not gone to plan. Former J&K Chief Minister and NC vice-president Omar Abdullah has said that his party entrusted the Congress with a significant number of seats in the Jammu division, but, “unfortunately, the Congress has not done as much in the plains of Jammu as we expected them to do”. Does the statement have any political significance?.

Haryana VS polls: Prime Minister taking backseat to local candidates?

The Haryana BJP has earlier relied a lot on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popularity and thus, in 2014 his massive rallies helped party to win Assembly polls. With his 10 rallies in the state ahead of the 2014 assembly election, Modi catapulted the BJP in Haryana from a party that used to get single-digit assembly seats to one that formed the government on its own for the first time with 47 seats in the 90-member state assembly. The party also relied on Modi in 2019, but his rallies decreased to six. This time, Modi has addressed only four rallies in Haryana, raising many eyebrows. The declining trend of his rallies raises questions about the underlying factors shaping the BJP campaign strategy in Haryana. The party appears to be relying more on established local machinery rather than Modi campaigning in person, especially as they face challenges from a resurgent Congress.

Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme

Modi launches Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme I remember such a scheme has been operated/ used in Gujarat. Kutch region of Gujarat always faced scarcity of water. Daily one train full of water, courtesy Indian Railways, was provided to this region. The then in-charge of the body, which was supposed to provide/ arrange water for this region, invited young IIM Ahmedabad graduates/ final year students and sought their opinion/ suggestions to solve this problem. Gujarat Government under the then Chief Minister Narendra Bhai Modi is known for having a receptive mind for good suggestions. They implemented the suggestions provided by the young IIM Ahmedabad graduates/ students. This resulted in no scarcity of water in Kutch region and the daily train with water coming to that region was stopped as it was no longer needed.

Information about deceased father’s bank account

Appellant sought information of his deceased father’s Bank account. The PIO informed that the account of Late Shri Gulwant Singh was settled on 30.10.2019 in favour of the nominee and daughter-in-law of the deceased account holder. Therefore, the details thereof, were exempted under the provisions of the Section 8 (1) (j) of the RTI Act. The CIC held that appropriate reply was given by the CPIO, as per the provisions of the RTI Act and there is no scope for further intervention in the matter.

Comments

If an applicant seeks information about the bank account of a deceased, information can only be provided if the applicant is a joint-account holder or the nominee in the account. Such information cannot be provided to a third party and only a successor can obtain the information.
