Indian-Origin CEO Seeks Help in Property Dispute; UP Police Responds

BJP Sources Hint No Dispute Over Maharashtra Chief Minister

The selection process for Maharashtra's next Chief Minister is progressing without disputes, according to senior BJP sources. While the party's grassroots have long advocated for Devendra Fadnavis to take the helm since 2022, Eknath Shinde was previously appointed due to his key role in forming the alliance government. However, with the BJP holding a significant majority of 132 MLAs, the push for Fadnavis has intensified, despite the Shiv Sena advocating for Shinde's continuation. Sources suggest that Ajit Pawar of the NCP is open to Fadnavis assuming the role. The BJP only needs support from one of its allies to reach the majority threshold of 145 in the 288-member Assembly. Observers will be appointed in the coming days to oversee the selection, followed by a BJP Legislature Party meeting in Mumbai to finalize the leader after consultations with allies. Eknath Shinde resigned earlier today as the Assembly's term concluded. sources

Cousin Warns Udaipur's Maharana: Can't Enter Our Home

The ongoing feud within Udaipur's royal family escalated on Tuesday, leading to police intervention at the historic City Palace. Tensions flared when Vishvaraj Singh, the newly appointed Maharana of Mewar, was denied entry by his uncle Arvind Singh and cousin Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar. Lakshyaraj warned against political misuse of power, asserting that "people cannot force themselves into our home," while emphasizing the availability of legal options. Vishvaraj, a BJP MLA, was recently declared heir following his father’s death and needed to complete a ritual at the palace and nearby Eklingnath Ji temple, both controlled by Arvind. In light of violent protests, authorities appointed a receiver to manage access to the palace. The rift traces back to the 1980s when family trusts were assigned to Arvind, sidelining Vishvaraj and his late father from the palace. sources

Kerala Cops' Back Turned to Sabarimala Temple Causes Controversy

A photograph of 28 Kerala policemen standing with their backs to the sanctum sanctorum on the 18 steps of the Sabarimala temple has ignited controversy, as it is perceived as a violation of temple traditions. Taken after the temple's doors closed on Saturday, the image prompted a top Kerala Police official to request a report on the incident for potential disciplinary action. Devotees argue that the customs dictate that even priests must face the sanctum while descending the steps. The temple, located in the Western Ghats, is known for its strict entry rules, including a ban on women who have attained puberty and a mandatory 41-day penance for pilgrims. The temple’s two-month festival season, which began on November 16, allows 70,000 pilgrims daily through online booking. The Kerala High Court has a dedicated Sabarimala Bench to address temple-related issues, and attention now turns to the forthcoming report on the incident. sources

Supreme Court Rejects Paper Ballots; EVMs Not Tampered

The Supreme Court of India dismissed a petition from KA Paul, who sought a return to ballot paper voting, arguing that Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) could be tampered with. During the hearing, Justices Vikram Nath and PB Varale questioned Paul's claims, noting that accusations of EVM tampering often arise only when politicians lose elections. Paul also requested that the Election Commission disqualify candidates for five years if found guilty of bribery during polls. The bench expressed skepticism about his motives, suggesting that his expertise lay outside the political realm. Paul referenced concerns raised by figures like Elon Musk regarding EVM security and advocated for practices used in countries like the United States. In response, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar defended the integrity of EVMs, highlighting their robustness and the transparency of the electoral process in India, and criticized the tendency to question EVMs only when election outcomes are unfavorable. sources
