BEST credit society served notices ahead of polls
MUMBAI: The BEST Employees' Credit Society, touted as a symbol of the much-hyped, recent alliance between the Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), has been served notices by the state government and the police over alleged irregularities in the cooperative. Raj Thackeray, Chief of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), and Uddhav Thackeray, Chief of Shiv Sena (UBT). (Raju Shinde/ HT Photo) The BEST Kamgar Sena, a wing of the Sena (UBT) currently in control of the credit society, says the move is a ploy by the BJP-led Mahayuti government to muddy the waters ahead of the August 18 elections in the credit cooperative. The poll will pit the Sena (UBT)-MNS alliance against Mahayuti coalition partners, the BJP and Shiv Sena, both on the back foot in these elections. More critically, the BEST Kamgar Sena sees the move as an attempt to undermine Sena (UBT)-MNS unity, the first formal alliance between the two political parties led by the Thackeray cousins, Uddhav and Raj, leaders of the Sena (UBT) and MNS, respectively. For the upcoming polls, the Sena (UBT) will contest 18 of the 21 seats up for grabs, the MNS two seats, and the BEST SC/ST Employees Welfare Association one seat. If the alliance wins the election, the MNS will bag one more post, that of a nominated director. In contrast, the BJP and Shiv Sena led by deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde will be contesting the election as opposition parties. Now, less than a week before the polls, the credit cooperative has been served notices by the state cooperation department and the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai Police. The first notice, dated August 13, has been served by the divisional joint registrar of co-operative societies in Mumbai. It states, 'As per the complaint application by Vivekanand Ghag and Rajendra Gore, under section 89 A of Maharashtra Cooperation Department, deputy registrar Rajendra Gaikwad has been appointed as investigation officer to conduct inquiry of records of society of year 2024-25. Jitendra Chavan will assist him and they will submit an inquiry report by August 29.' The credit society has also received a notice from the EOW, initiating an inquiry into an alleged ₹24-crore irregularity in the cooperative, on a complaint filed by Ghag. Suhas Samant, president of the BEST Kamgar Sena, slammed the Mahayuti government and BJP leaders, alleging that BJP MLC Prasad Lad has instigated the inquiry. 'For years, the BEST Kamgar Sena has been in power in the credit society. This time, however, the Sena (UBT) and MNS have entered into an alliance for the elections, which has upset Mahayuti leaders. Now the society's office-bearers have received notices. BJP MLC Prasad Lad is behind this. They want to create confusion among voters,' he said. 'But in the last audit conducted by a government auditor, the BEST Employees Credit Society received an 'A' grade and this is in the public domain. How can a credit society assigned an A grade be accused of irregularities,' asked Samant. Responding to the allegation, Prasad Lad said an inquiry will be conducted as there were irregularities in the credit cooperative. Government agencies have initiated an inquiry on the basis of a complaint filed by Ghag. The cooperation department is conducting a separate inquiry and the EOW is looking into irregularities of ₹24 crore in the credit society. If there are complaints of irregularities, how can we keep quiet, asked Lad.

The debate that involved 'em from dawn to dawn
1 2 Lucknow: The 24-hour session of the UP legislative Assembly on 'Viksit Bharat Viksit Uttar Pradesh' had many of its women members, like RLD's Mithilesh Pal, BJP's Ketaki Singh and Saroj Sonker and Samajwadi Party's Indrani Verma waiting patiently for their turn to speak on the government's vision document. Some till as late as 1.00 am and others till 3.30 am on Thursday. There were also some who had spoken but still sat through the session whole night to listen to others, including Congress' Aradhna Misra 'Mona', SP's Puja Pal and BJP's Minakshi Singh and Krishna Paswan. For the BJP members, it clearly sent a message that it was the subject of discussion which was important and not the late-hour and early-morning timing for the women legislators, while for members from Opposition, it was an opportunity to expose government's failure and for a few to come out with flying colours before their party bosses and last but not the least to be part of the history that was in the making. It was the second such session in recent history to have been continued throughout the night, with a total of 189 speakers across party lines. A few legislators were pleading with the chair to include their names in the list of the speakers. However, there were others who wanted to jump the long queue of speakers. Earlier in October, 2019, the UP Assembly had held a 36-hour special session on sustainable development goals set up by the United Nations to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Interestingly, leader of the House and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also made a few visits during the 24-hour discussion even as late as 9.30pm on Wednesday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like TV providers are furious: this gadget gives you access to all channels Techno Mag Learn More Undo The CM remained in the House until 11.11pm and patiently heard members across the party line before returning the next morning. Speaker Satish Mahana also remained in the chair till around 10.20pm and so was present Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna. Khanna remained in the House until around 11.45pm. BJP member Anupama Jaiswal then replaced Mahana in the chair before unattached MLA Manoj Pandey replaced her at 11.37pm. SP MLA Indrani Varma from Bhinga in Shravasti waited for her turn to speak until 1 am and left only after making her statement. So did Saiyyada Khatoon from Domariyaganj who spoke before Indrani at 11.04pm. BJP's Minakshi Singh spoke at 10.01 pm but remained in the House until wee hours giving patient hearing to other members. The women members' activeness could be gauged from the fact that Congress MLA Mona Misra remained in the House whole night just like BJP MLA Ketki Singh. Malihabad MLA Jai Devi was also seen seated in the House throughout the night. Rae Bareli MLA Aditi Singh also was in the House until 1.45am. A heated exchange of words was also witnessed between Maant MLA Rajesh Chaudhary and Varanasi Cantt MLA Saurabh Srivastava, who was acting as chief whip in the absence of Ram Naresh Agnihotri. Rajesh could not speak during the time allocated for members from his Braj region which was between 9pm and 12 midnight. Since those who had to speak between 6pm and 9pm continued until 11pm and those who had to speak after that could not speak, Rajesh objected to it. It was only after the spat that seven MLAs from Braj and West UP were accommodated in the 12 midnight to 3 am slot. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
