Thereafter Shrimati Sumitra Mahajan was conducted to the Chair by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Mod,; Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu, Shri Mallikarjun Kharge, Dr. M. Thambidurai, Shri Mulayam Singh Yadav, Shri A.P. Jithender Reddy, Shri Thota Narasimham and Leaders of some other Parties and Groups. COMPLIMENTS TO HON. SPEAKER PRO TEM THE MINISTER OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT; THE MINISTER OF HOUSING AND URBAN POVERTY ALLEVIATION AND THE MINISTER OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS (SHRI M. VENKAIAH NAIDU): Before we move on, I, on behalf of the House, want to thank the Hon. Speaker Pro Tem, Shri Kamal Nath Ji for conducting the House for two days. I would also like to compliment the Secretary General of Lok Sabha who had created a record of administering oath of office under the guidance of pro-tem Speaker for 510 people in one day. FELICITATIONS TO THE SPEAKER THE PRIME MINISTER (SHRI NARENDRA MODI): I congratulate all the parties and all the Members of this House for unanimously electing the Speaker in keeping with the great tradition of this august House. It is a matter of great pride for all of us that a woman would preside over in this temple of democracy and conduct the business of the House. Your benign guidance would go a long way in resolving the problems of the people of the nation. It is a matter of great pride for this House that you have rose from the pedestal of a corporator of Indore Municipal Corporation to become a Member of parliament for eight times during your decade long public life as a representative of the people. Your long experience of this House would prove fruitful in ensuring smooth conduct of business in this House. In this Sixteenth Lok Sabha we have got an opportunity like the one we got in the First Lok Sabha when all the members were elected for the first time. After a long spell of time, such a House has been constituted once again where as many as 315 Members have been elected for the first time. This lends us an opportunity to leave some old tradition behind and usher in a new tradition and so as to present a picture of strong and vibrant democracy as the whole world is looking towards us with great hope. We can take the great tradition of the past forward and this new blood and energy infused into the House can add to the strength of this largest democracy of the world. This temple of democracy resonating with the enthusiasm and energy of the new Members would turn into the temple of development and progress of the nation. Under your benign stewardship and guidance, this House would surely be able to fulfill all those hopes and aspirations. Your name itself signifies a persona which endears and emanates positive vibes towards all. As has been stated in our Shashtras that follow the path on which tread the great people and here in this House ‘Mahajan’ presides over from the seat of the Speaker. Therefore, it would be wise for the entire House to follow her. I congratulate you and also assure you that the entire House would lend its full cooperation and support to you in your endeavour to conduct smooth business in the House for the fulfillment of the hopes and aspirations of the people of this nation. Once again, I congratulate you and thank all the parties for their support for unanimous election of the Speaker. SHRI MALLIKARJUN KHARGE: I on my behalf and on the behalf of my party and the entire House heartily welcome you. This is the first opportunity that you have adorned this august Office of the Speaker of the House. The hon. Prime Minister rightly said that India is a large democratic country. As many as 55 crore voters participated in the just concluded elections and a verdict has emerged. We welcome this verdict of the people. We welcome you as you have risen from the rank of a corporator to an advocate and Deputy Mayor and then to this august Office. This is, indeed, a great achievement. This is my second term in this House. You have been elected to this House for eight times. I have always observed you in the House sitting in the second row till the House concludes. I also observed that a seven time elected Member would sit in the House calm and composed, listen to keenly and whenever the need be would make firm and effective interventions in the discussions being carried out in the House which left an indelible impression on us.

  • WORTH of MINISTERS Union Ministers Have Shared Information Regarding Their Moveable and Immovable Properties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi
    WORTH OF MINISTERS Union ministers have shared information regarding their moveable and immovable properties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Some of these numbers vary from those filed in the affidavits before the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Railway Minister Sadananda Gowda, for example, recorded the largest increase in assets. The Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) claims most ministers have not declared the true worth of their assets to the Prime Minister’s Office. Here is a snapshot of the comparison of the numbers by ADR: MINISTERS WHO SHOWED AN INCREASE OF MORE THAN ~50 LAKH IN ASSETS MINISTERS WHO HAD NOT CONTESTED THE LOK SABHA ELECTIONS IN 2014 Piyush Goyal Minister of state — power (independent charge), coal (independent charge), new D V Sadananda Radhakrishnan P Arun Jaitley Upendra and renewable energy (independent charge) Gowda Minister of state Cabinet minister— finance, Kushwaha ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO: ~94 crore+ Cabinet minister — Railways (independent charge) — corporate affairs and Minister of state (independent *ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ~30 crore+ ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO : heavy industries and public defence charge) — rural development, CHANGE: ~20 crore+ enterprises ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO: panchayati raj, drinking water ~64 crore and sanitation INCREASE: 212% ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ASSETS AS DECLARED TO PMO: ~114 crore+ ~9 crore+ ~7 crore+ ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ASSETS AS DECLARED TO ASSETS DECLARED IN POLLS: ~113 crore+ PMO:~3 crore+ Ravi Shankar Prasad Cabinet minister — CHANGE: ~10 crore+ communications

  • Western Uttar Pradesh: Caste Arithmetic Vs Nationalism
    VERDICT 2019 Western Uttar Pradesh: Caste Arithmetic vs Nationalism SMITA GUPTA Samajwadi Party patron Mulayam Singh Yadav exchanges greetings with Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati during their joint election campaign rally in Mainpuri, on April 19, 2019. Photo: PTI In most of the 26 constituencies that went to the polls in the first three phases of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections in western Uttar Pradesh, it was a straight fight between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that currently holds all but three of the seats, and the opposition alliance of the Samajwadi Party, the Bahujan Samaj Party and the Rashtriya Lok Dal. The latter represents a formidable social combination of Yadavs, Dalits, Muslims and Jats. The sort of religious polarisation visible during the general elections of 2014 had receded, Smita Gupta, Senior Fellow, The Hindu Centre for Politics and Public Policy, New Delhi, discovered as she travelled through the region earlier this month, and bread and butter issues had surfaced—rural distress, delayed sugarcane dues, the loss of jobs and closure of small businesses following demonetisation, and the faulty implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). The Modi wave had clearly vanished: however, BJP functionaries, while agreeing with this analysis, maintained that their party would have been out of the picture totally had Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his message of nationalism not been there. travelled through the western districts of Uttar Pradesh earlier this month, conversations, whether at district courts, mofussil tea stalls or village I chaupals1, all centred round the coming together of the Samajwadi Party (SP), the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD).
