BJP workers attacked in Dinahata, pregnant woman among injured
Jalpaiguri: Several BJP workers, including a pregnant woman, were injured after their homes were attacked by a group of about 30 miscreants in Dinhata's Salmara area on Thursday morning. While BJP squarely blamed Trinamool for the attack, TMC said it was a fallout of the saffron party's internal rivalry. Police have started a probe. The miscreants, armed with lathis and bamboo sticks, attacked the houses of 'shakti pramukh' Jitendra Barman, Tarini Kanta Barman, Nazirhat-II GP member Juthika Barman and Mahila Morcha neta Malina Barman and vandalised them.

The lady, eight months' pregnant, was rushed to Cooch Behar Medical College Hospital. Cooch Behar BJP president Avijit Barman claimed that the attack was carried out to avenge the complaint against 42 TMC supporters, including Udayan Guha. Trinamool rubbished the allegations. "We don't believe in violence. It was locals who attacked the BJP functionaries to protest the efforts to conduct SIR and impose NRC," said Dipak Bhattacharya, TMC's Dinhata-II president.

BJP says TMC pushing state towards constitutional crisis
Kolkata: With CM Mamata Banerjee alleging that govt officers were being intimidated and none of them would be suspended, Bengal BJP said on Thursday Trinamool was pushing the state towards a constitutional crisis. Bengal BJP minder Amit Malviya posted on X: "Despite clear directives from Election Commission of India to register FIRs against EROs and AEROs for inserting fake voters, Bengal's CM refuses to comply… This is not just defiance, this is a constitutional crisis in the making." Bengal BJP netas also came down heavily after Congress lawmakers joined TMC MPs in a rally against attacks on Bengalis and the Bengali language. On Wednesday, Pradesh Congress had sent a letter to Haryana governor Asim Ghosh on this.

"Congress does not have any right to talk about Bengal's culture or language. They threw Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose out of the party. Bengal was neglected for decades when Congress govt was at Centre. The same Congress has come to support Trinamool today," he said. State leader of opposition Suvendu Adhikari said: "TMC is trying to confuse people by claiming attacks on the Bengali-speaking population. Refugees from Bangladesh were persecuted by Bengali-speaking people. Trinamool is trying to divide Hindu votes by creating a false narrative." Bhattacharya, meanwhile, sent a letter to Union home minister Amit Shah seeking central govt's intervention into attacks on BJP workers and netas. He alleged that the attack on Adhikari was not an isolated incident and that BJP workers were also targeted in Barasat. He sought a high-level probe by central agencies to find out the forces behind these attacks. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Vice Presidential Poll To Be Held On September 9: Poll Body
The Election Commission on Thursday issued a notification for the September 9 vice presidential poll, kickstarting the exercise to elect Jagdeep Dhankhar's successor. Rajya Sabha Secretary General P C Mody, the returning officer for the election, received three nomination papers, which were rejected for not being in order. According to the notification, August 21 is the last date for filing nominations and the documents will be scrutinised on August 22. The last date for the withdrawal of nominations is August 25. The vice presidential poll was necessitated following the surprise resignation of Dhankhar on July 21, citing health reasons. His term was to end in August 2027. The ruling BJP-led NDA has begun internal consultations for fielding candidates for the vice presidential election. The NDA has authorised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president J P Nadda to pick the ruling bloc's vice presidential candidate, According to constitutional provisions, in case of a mid-term poll, the incumbent gets a full five-year term. A person cannot be elected as the vice president unless he is a citizen of India, has completed 35 years of age and is qualified for election as a member of Rajya Sabha. A person is also not eligible if he holds any office of profit under the government of India or a state government or any subordinate local authority. The ruling NDA has a comfortable edge in the vice presidential elections. The vice president is elected by the members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, with nominated members of the Upper House also eligible to vote. The 543-member Lok Sabha has one vacant seat -- Basirhat in West Bengal -- while there are six vacancies in the 245-member Rajya Sabha. Of the six vacancies in Rajya Sabha, four are from Jammu and Kashmir, and one each from Punjab and Jharkhand. The seat from Punjab fell vacant after AAP leader Sanjeev Arora quit following his election to the state assembly in a byelection last month. The demise of JMM leader Shibu Soren has created a fresh vacancy in the Upper House from Jharkhand. The effective strength of both the Houses together is 781 and the winning candidate will require 391 votes, considering that all eligible voters exercise their franchise. In Lok Sabha, the BJP-led NDA enjoys the support of 293 of the 542 members. The ruling alliance has the support of 129 members in Rajya Sabha, which has an effective strength of 240, assuming that the nominated members vote in support of the NDA nominee. Thus, the ruling alliance has the support of around 422 members. Article 66 (1) of the Constitution provides that the vice presidential election shall be held in accordance with the system of Proportional Representation by means of the single transferable vote, and the voting at such election shall be by secret ballot. In this system, the elector has to mark preferences against the names of the candidates. The vice president is the second-highest constitutional office in the country. He serves for a five-year term, but can continue to be in office, irrespective of the expiry of the term, until the successor assumes office.
