  • 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.

  • Dissolution of the Lok Sabha
    DISSOLUTION OF THE LOK SABHA Tanusri Prasanna* Introduction The dissolution of the twelfth Lok Sabha on the twenty sixth day of April, 1999, by the President Mr. K.R. Narayanan, and the role of the latter in the intense political decision making preceding the same, have thrown open afresh the debate as to the exact role of the President as envisaged in the Constitution in the matter of dissolution. This paper attempts to analyse this issue in light of various controversial views on the subject. Pre-independence constitutional debates in India were influenced by two models of democratic government: the British Parliamentary system, and the Presidential system of the United States. In the final analysis the British model being closer home, "every instalment of constitutional reform was regarded as a step towards the establishment of a democratic and responsible government as it functioned in Britain."' Thus, it is widely accepted by various scholars that the founding fathers of the Constitution had opted for the parliamentary system of government. Working on this premise, the concepts such as executive decision making as well as delineating limits and laying a system of checks and balances on the different wings of the government as provided by the inherent federal structure, have been debated over and over again. However, when the Constitution actually came into force, a reading of its provisions sparked off a new line of thought as to the very nature of government, and the Presidential model of the United States which had been earlier rejected was now compared and contrasted.2 These discussions and debates were mainly concerned with the respective powers of the President and the Prime minister in the Constitution and in cases where both entities were strong the clash of opinions was soon recognised.

    7/5/2017 GST: President Pranab Mukherjee praises Narendra Modi govt for 1 July rollout Wednesday, July 05, 2017 Switch(/) to हद (http://hindi.firstpost.com/) GST: President Pranab Mukherjee praises Narendra Modi govt for 1 July rollout Kolkata: Praising the central government's move to roll out the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from 1 July, President Pranab Mukherjee on Thursday said it will put an end to the burden of multiplicity of taxes that the citizens had to pay so far. Thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley for pushing through a single tax system for the country's 130 crore people, Mukherjee said so long consumers had to shell out 30 to 40 percent more on the cost of production of goods and services. File image of Pranab Mukhjerjee. PTI Mukherjee, who was addressing a Global Summit organised by The Institute of Cost Accountants of India here, recalled how he and other nance ministers in the past had made futile attempts to introduce the GST. "From the days of Yashwant Sinha, who was nance minister in Vajpayee government, to my days in nance ministry before I assumed the ofce of president, we tried to have the GST. I introduced in 2011 a Constitutional Amendment Bill to facilitate the GST. But it could not go through," he said. The president said he at times wondered why the process of change was slow, but then remembered that the ethos of India lay in its philosophy of unity in diversity. The country has wide-ranging diversity, with a population of 1.3 billion, and people speaking around 200 languages, 1,800 dialects, practising seven major religions and belonging to three major ethnic groups.
