Mau's MP-MLA court to hear Ansari plea today
1 2 Varanasi: Disqualified MLA Abbas Ansari's appeal against his sentencing in the 'Hisab kitab' hate speech episode by the CJM (MP-MLA) court was filed before the session court of Mau district on Monday. Ansari's advocate Daroga Singh said that the appeal was moved before the sessions court on Monday, which transferred the case to the court of ADJ (MP-MLA) Rajiv Vats where the hearing will take place on Tuesday. Through this appeal, Ansari challenged the May 31 CJM (MP-MLA) court decision of sentencing him to two years of imprisonment, he added. On the next day of sentencing him by the court, his membership from the state Assembly was terminated. Ansari was sentenced in a case of hate speech lodged against him on March 4, 2022, after his speech delivered at a meeting in the Paharpur area on March 3, 2022, went viral on social media. While contesting the 2022 Assembly polls from the Mau Sadar seat as a Samajwadi Party-Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party alliance candidate, Ansari, in his Paharpur speech on March 3, 2022, stated, "After the formation of the SP-led govt, the officials would have to give 'hisab-kitab' (account) of their work of the past regime before getting transferred. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Costco Shoppers Say This Wrinkle Cream Is "Actually Worth It" The Skincare Magazine Undo " Ansari won the election, but he went to jail following his arrest by the Prayagraj unit of the ED in a money laundering case in Feb 2023. He came out of jail last March. The court, in its 48-page judgment, commented, "The accused has a criminal history and several serious criminal records are also associated with his family members. The family of the accused Abbas Ansari has held the Legislative Assembly seat of Mau Sadar for nearly 20 years. During his election campaign, Abbas Ansari gave a speech from the stage threatening to settle scores with state govt officials after the elections, which could have disrupted communal harmony. Therefore, it does not seem appropriate to give a lesser punishment to the accused."

BJP silent over Vijay Bainsla's open challenge
1 2 Jaipur: State BJP 's continued silence over Vijay Bainsla, president of Gurjar Arakshan Sangharsh Samiti and a party member, has raised serious questions about internal discipline and leadership authority in the party ranks. Bainsla successfully pressured the BJP-led state govt by threatening a major stir if the demand for 5% reservation for Most Backward Classes (MBC) was not included in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution. While the govt appeared to soften its stance under pressure, the party leadership neither condemned nor commented on Bainsla's confrontational posture. This move was interpreted by political observers as a crack in the BJP's disciplinary framework. Bainsla, who contested and lost the 2023 Assembly elections from Deoli-Uniara to Congress candidate Harish Meena, was reportedly sidelined within the party since then. Party insiders say he was not given space to raise community demands and was denied a ticket in the Deoli-Uniara bypolls in Nov 2024, fuelling his frustration and pushing him to take an aggressive stance to regain his position in the community. "The party didn't want to open a new front in the form of Bainsla, especially at a time when it is already struggling to manage cabinet minister Kirori Lal Meena," said a senior party leader, on condition of anonymity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Another senior BJP leader acknowledged that Bainsla commands considerable support among the Gujjar community, particularly on the reservation issue. "Being the son of the late Kirori Singh Bainsla, a towering figure in the Gurjar movement, he carries significant influence. During Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, Bainsla's threat to oppose the march forced the Congress into damage control, resulting in formation of a four-member cabinet committee. That incident clearly established his clout," the leader said. Kirori Singh Bainsla was the leading face of the Gurjar reservation movement in Rajasthan since its inception in 2004. Vijay Bainsla was swiftly inducted into the BJP, with hopes that he would swing the Gurjar vote base, which heavily tilted toward the Congress in the 2018 elections—attracted by speculation over Sachin Pilot's potential elevation to chief minister. However, Bainsla's defeat in the 2023 Assembly elections led to his political marginalisation. However, his recent political revival through the Gurjar Mahapanchayat in Pilupura, which saw participation from Gurjars across Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Delhi, has repositioned him at the centre of the community's politics. Speaking to TOI, Bainsla said, "I am very much part of the BJP, but I also carry the responsibility to pursue the long-pending promises made to the Gurjar community by successive govts." Refusing to call his latest moves a rebellion, he added, "This is a 'wait and watch' phase — let's see how the govt responds."
