Published: Nov 26 2024, 7 pmeznews.inThe 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.

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.

Published: Nov 26 2024, 8 pmeznews.inA 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.
Published: Nov 26 2024, 7 pmeznews.inThe 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.

Paul also requested that the Election Commission disqualify candidates for five years if found guilty of bribery during polls.

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.
