Who is Jalaluddin, who wants to replace Jagdeep Dhankhar? Files nomination for the Vice-Presidential election
New Delhi: Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from the post of Vice President of India on 21 July 2025, citing health concerns. Now, as the nomination process for the post of Vice President is on, a man from Rajasthan has entered the fray. He is a 38-year-old resident of Jaisalmer, Jalaluddin. Jalaluddin reached the Rajya Sabha on Monday, 11 August and filed his nomination papers with a deposit amount of Rs 15 thousand. Who is Vice Presidential candidate Jalaluddin? Jalaluddin is currently studying at Haridev Joshi Journalism University in Jaipur. Jalaluddin's inclination towards politics is not new. Earlier in 2009, he had contested the Ward Panch election from Jaisalmer district, which he lost by just one vote. Even after this, his enthusiasm did not decrease. He filed the nomination from the Jaisalmer Assembly seat in 2013 and from the Barmer-Jaisalmer Lok Sabha seat in 2014, although he withdrew the form both times. Why is Jalaluddin contesting the Vice-Presidential election? Now, when the nomination process for the Vice-Presidential election to be held on September 9 started after the resignation of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, Jalaluddin also decided to participate in it and filed his nomination with the Election Commission on August 11. Jalaluddin says, 'I am fond of contesting elections. I know that my nomination will be cancelled, but I have still filed my nomination.' Why will Jalaluddin's nomination be rejected? Jalaluddin's nomination for the post of Vice President can be rejected due to technical flaws. During the verification of documents by the Election Commission, it was found that the certified copy of the electoral roll given by Jalaluddin was of an old date. According to the rules of the Election Commission, the nomination is automatically rejected due to such a mistake. When is the Vice-Presidential election scheduled for? The Election Commission has issued the notification for filing the nomination for the Vice-Presidential election. Nominations for the office of vice president can be filed till 21 August, and the election will be held on 9 September. This will be the 17th Vice Presidential election. The Vice-President is elected by an Electoral College, which consists of the members of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. The counting of the votes will be held on 9 September.

600-cr infra grant: Mayor puts the ball in MLA's court
Mohali: Mayor Amarjit Singh Jeeti Sidhu has put the ball into MLA Kulwant Singh's court over a Rs 600 crore development grant, asking the legislator to approach the chief minister for its release. On Tuesday, the mayor, through his representative, delivered a copy of a letter addressed to the CM to the MLA's office. The letter seeks urgent financial assistance for 15 key projects in Mohali, including resolving the garbage crisis, improving drainage, introducing a city bus service, replacing the old asbestos sewage system, and constructing an auditorium. Sidhu said the municipal corporation is in dire need of funds, with no independent revenue sources. He alleged that Gmada, which earns billions from land sales in Mohali, fails to provide the necessary share for city development, leaving crucial projects stalled. The mayor recalled that MLA Kulwant Singh had earlier asked for a detailed expenditure plan for the Rs 600 crore grant. "I have now provided him with the details," he said, adding that he obtained a letter from the MLA's office through Bhim Singh, the legislator's Sidhu challenged the MLA to state when he would meet the CM for the release of the grant. "We are ready to go along with him at any time," he said, adding that the residents of the city cannot wait any longer for basic infrastructure improvements. The proposal, the mayor said, outlines the urgent works required to expedite Mohali's development, with each project prioritised for immediate execution if funds are approved.
