Lok Sabha gears up for first Speaker election fight since 1976: Key points

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 26 June 2024 ()
Failing to reach a consensus over the Speaker candidate for the 18th Lok Sabha, the opposition INDIA bloc has fielded K Suresh against BJP-led NDA's pick, Om Birla. This contest emerges as Birla vies for a second stint in the Speaker's position. Om Birla, the MP from Rajasthan's Kota, was renominated by the NDA for the Speaker post on Tuesday. While the opposition has put all its weight into ensuring the Speaker election is not a cakewalk for the BJP.

“No Direct Involvement…”, Hemant Soren Gets Bail in Land Scam Case [Video]

“No Direct Involvement…”, Hemant Soren Gets Bail in Land Scam Case

Ranchi: Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was granted bail by the High Court in a land scam case, leading to his release from jail this morning. The court found that, prima facie, Soren is not guilty and is unlikely to commit another offense while on bail. His counsel, Arunabh Chowdhury, confirmed the bail was granted on a bond of ₹50,000 and two sureties of the same amount each. Soren, leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on January 31 on money laundering charges related to the acquisition of 8.86 acres of land in Ranchi. The court's decision followed earlier setbacks for Soren, including bail denials by both the Ranchi special court and the High Court, and the Supreme Court's refusal of interim bail. Soren has consistently denied the charges, accusing the ruling BJP of framing him to derail the opposition.
