BJP pans UBT over Deonar dump remarks
In a post on social media,
BJP Mumbai president Ashish Shelar
described Shiv Sena (UBT) as crows, vultures and herons who feasted on the commission from the waste for 25 years and were now circling with accusations.
Shelar alleged in 2008, when Thackeray's party was in power in the BMC, a tender worth Rs 4,500 crore was issued for the scientific disposal of waste at Deonar, and the BJP opposed it, pointing to many deficiencies.
At the time, the BJP was in alliance with Sena. "Despite our opposition, the contract was issued, they took commissions, and nothing happened afterwards. The garbage heap still remains at Deonar, suffocating Mumbaikars with stench...," he said. — Clara Lewis

Release Rs 4.5K crore rural infra fund, CM Stalin urges Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman
CHENNAI: Chief Minister MK Stalin on Tuesday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to give early approval for releasing Rs 4,500 crore under the NABARD's Rural Infrastructure Development Fund for the current financial year and Rs 350 crore under the Fisheries Infrastructure Development Fund (FIDF) for the expansion of the Kolachel fishing harbour. Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu handed over Stalin's letter in this regard to Sitharaman in New Delhi. He was accompanied by DMK parliamentary party leader and MP Kanimozhi. Both met Sitharaman in the Parliament House. Referring to Thennarasu's meeting with Sitharaman, Stalin wrote on X platform, 'The fishermen from Kanniyakumari district met me and requested to start the works on the extension of Colachel harbour soon. I hope the union minister will accept this fair request from Tamil Nadu and release the funds necessary.' Thennarasu is in New Delhi to attend the crucial meeting of the state ministerial committee on Wednesday to put forth the union government's proposal for sweeping GST reforms that will slash tax rates, which may lead to a reduction in prices of items commonly used by the public.

YSRTUC vows to oppose VSP privatisation
Guntur: The YSR Trade Union Congress categorically rejected the privatisation of the steel plant and committed to a fierce struggle alongside workers and public unions to protect their livelihoods, said YSRTUC president Poonuru Gautham Reddy. Addressing the media at the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli, he declared that the previous YSRCP government's staunch opposition had stalled privatisation for five years, but the coalition government's inaction has worsened workers' plight. He demanded Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, and Minister Lokesh honour their election promises to save the plant, accusing them of indifference as the NDA accelerated privatisation of 32 departments by September 9, 2025. The coalition's policies have crippled the plant, employing 20,000 workers: 1,150 have been removed via Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS), with notices for 1,000 more, totalling 8,000-9,000 layoffs across all categories in a year. Salaries remain unpaid since September 2024, benefits like leave encashment, incentives, LTC, and LLTC have been scrapped, and electricity rates in plant quarters have surged from 49 paise to Rs 8 per unit, displacing workers. He condemned dismantling of a 1,300-day protest tent and erecting a police post to suppress dissent, contrasting this with YSRCP's support under former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, who engaged workers directly, passed an Assembly resolution against privatisation, wrote to the Centre to convert loans into equity, and refrained from filing cases against protesters.

Bihar SIR: No objections filed by parties, says EC; on the ground, political workers say they raised red flags
In its daily statements since August 1, the Election Commission of India has been maintaining that none of the 1.6 lakh booth-level agents (BLAs) appointed by political parties has filed any claims and objections to the recently published draft electoral roll as part of Bihar's ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Yet, on the ground, the BLAs – political workers meant to be the eyes and ears of parties at the level of Assembly constituencies and booths – say they have been actively raising objections: from alleged duplication of voters to the presence of 'fake voters' and those whose names have been allegedly mistakenly deleted or declared dead in the draft rolls. The Indian Express spoke to BLAs across political parties – from the BJP's agents in Darbhanga, who are confident that the 'mool niwasi' won't be left out; to Ara in Bhojpur, where BLAs of the CPI- (ML-Liberation) say they have flagged nine cases of voters being inaccurately declared dead on the draft rolls; to a booth in Aurangabad, where the BLA says he is going door-to-door alerting the 122 voters in his booth whose names have been struck off the EC list. While EC rules say objections to the draft roll have to be submitted in the prescribed format – Form 6 for additions, Form 7 for deletions – along with a declaration, BLAs say that while they have brought the alleged inaccuracies to the notice of the authorities, it's for the EC to take action. Officials told The Indian Express that BLAs don't usually submit claims and objections in the format prescribed since they are required to present the evidence on oath. This is the same rule that Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar cited on Sunday when asking Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to give an affidavit for his allegations of voter fraud in Karnataka. Under Section 31 of the Representation of the People Act, 1950, making a false declaration is an offence punishable by a jail term/fine. At a booth in Darbhanga's Bahadurpur Assembly constituency, BLA Krishna Bhagwan Jha of the BJP says he is yet to see the draft electoral roll published on August 1, but is not worried about genuine voters being left out of the rolls. 'Jo yahan ke mool niwasi hai, unke paas koi toh proof hoga (The original residents will have some proof),' he says, confidently. According to EC data, of the 1.60 lakh BLAs, the BJP, which is part of the ruling coalition, has the highest number (53,338), but even that does not cover all the 90,712 booths in the state. In another booth, in Darbhanga Assembly seat, BLA Lakshman Kumar of the BJP says he has submitted a letter to the District Magistrate, Kaushal Kumar, with names of 665 electors who allegedly have more than one Voter ID in the same constituency. Nearly all the electors on Lakshman's list are from the minority community. 'We have found that these 665 people have two, three and even four EPICs in some cases. Some are registered in the same booth multiple times, others are in different booths in the Vidhan Sabha,' he says. Lakshman says that when he submitted the complaint, he was asked to attach an affidavit too. 'I gave the complaint on my letterhead, as a BLA of the world's largest political party. I don't think an affidavit is required. We have identified these duplicates; now it is for the authorities to investigate and delete the names they find,' he says. The DM did not respond to The Indian Express's request for a comment. However, officials said, the complaint was being inquired into. Rajesh Choudhary, a BJP BLA in Hayaghat Assembly constituency, insists the SIR process has been smooth. 'There are some people whose names were not there or their documents were not available. We have been contacting them over the phone and asking them to send the documents over WhatsApp if they are not here. We then submit the forms to the BLO,' he says. Sapna Bharti, a BJP BLA in Darbhanga Assembly constituency, too, expresses confidence. 'There are many people whose names are left out, but we are making sure that they all complete the formalities in the next two-three days. We have helped them to get their caste or residence certificates made,' she says. With the Opposition joining forces against the SIR, BLAs of the RJD, Congress and the Left are going all out to bring the alleged irregularities to light. At Ara town, the district headquarters of Bhojpur, BLAs and functionaries of the CPI (ML-Liberation) say they have identified nine cases of voters being 'inaccurately' declared dead on the draft rolls. Among them is Mintu Paswan, one of seven such cases that Rahul Gandhi recently highlighted. The CPI (ML-Liberation) has a strong presence in Bhojpur, with the party's Sudama Prasad defeating former Union minister and senior BJP leader RK Singh from Ara Lok Sabha seat in the 2024 polls. The party had also won the adjoining Karakat Lok Sabha seat. At a booth in Dharhara in Ara, BLA Ritesh Sunilam of the CPI (ML-Liberation) says he has identified three voters, including Madan Prasad, a daily wager, who were 'inaccurately' declared dead and deleted from the draft roll. 'I am completely worthless now. At least I could vote until now; now I can't even do that,' says Prasad, a member of the Extremely Backward Class who has been out of work for some years. Sunilam tries to cheer him up. He asks for Prasad's Aadhaar card and one of the 11 EC-mandated documents and says he will help him apply as a fresh voter with Form 6. 'Baad mein (later),' says Prasad, brushing off the BLA. Sunilam says all the three voters in his booth who have been declared dead on the EC draft roll had voted in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Citing an instance of the same voter with three different names and EPIC numbers — Sonu Kumar Tiwari, Vinay CPI (ML-Liberation's) Kumar Tiwari and Vikas Kumar Tiwari, son of Krishnanamd Tiwari from Kudaria village, Booth Number-210) — Sanjay Kumar, state committee member of the party, says, 'When we visited Kudaria, we learnt that that the person's real name is Vinay Tiwari. We have complained to the BLO concerned.' On August 16, the Left party, one of the key allies of the RJD-led Opposition Mahagathbandhan in Bihar, called a district-level meeting of its functionaries to highlight discrepancies in the SIR and find ways to redress it by bringing the matter to the attention of the EC's Booth Level Officers (BLOs). The party's BLAs in Ara have raised many such objections – alleged duplication of voters at booths in the Tarari and Nokha Assembly segments; about 50 people at Khopira in the Ara Assembly segment listed as 'permanently shifted', when they had only migrated for work; and a case in Dehri Tola, Jagdishpur Assembly segment, where 76 people bearing the surname Choudhary (EBCs) got allegedly listed as Choubey (an upper-caste surname) in the draft roll. Functionaries of the CPI (ML-Liberation) say they have brought these 'irregularities' to the attention of the BLOs concerned. In another part of the state, at Aurangabad's Ward number 13, Sarvind Kumar, a BLA of the Congress, has a list of 122 voters whose names have been deleted from the voter list. 'People have been coming to my house to find out if their names have been struck off. Since it was getting crowded, I told them to go back home and now I am going to each of their homes, informing them that they are not on the draft rolls. That is the first step,' says Kumar. The ward has a sizeable population of Dalits and Muslims, besides upper-caste voters too. At the home of Dhananjariya Devi (45) and Ramesh Ram (50) – a Dalit couple who work as daily wagers – Kumar announces: 'Your name has been deleted from the voter list.' While Devi's name has been deleted citing that she wasn't 'present', her husband is shown on the draft rolls as having 'moved out of the state permanently'. Kumar tells the couple they will have to get their caste certificates made and that he would discuss the matter with Congress MLA Anand Shankar Singh. 'Don't worry. I will go with you to get the caste certificate made,' he says, before heading to another house.
