ITANAGAR: Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a whirlwind tour of four northeastern states, where he inaugurated projects worth Rs 55,000 crore and addressed the crowd with a scathing attack on dynastic politics, particularly targeting the INDIA Alliance, which includes the Congress party.

During his visit, Prime Minister Modi emphasized his commitment to the development of the region, stating, "A national festival of developed India is going on at a fast pace'.

"Today I got the opportunity to become a part of 717 participants from all the states of the North East in this festival of developed North East."

He commended the participation of thousands of individuals from Arunachal, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura in the development pledge.

Highlighting the achievements of his government in the region, Modi proclaimed, "Projects worth more than 55,000 crore rupees have been inaugurated or had foundation stones laid today.

"Thousands of families in Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura have received tap connections and pucca houses."

He also underscored his government's focus on infrastructure development, including water, roads, rail, schools, hospitals, and tourism. "Modi will not rest till people get all these", he said.

Furthermore, Modi announced the initiation of the Unnati scheme aimed at promoting industrial development in the Northeast, with a significant emphasis on job creation and economic growth. He assured full support to the youth of the region, promising assistance in various fields such as startups, technology, home stays, and tourism.

However, notably absent from Modi's speech was any mention of the troubles in Manipur, which has recently seen political instability. Instead, the Prime Minister focused on highlighting the progress and achievements of his government in the region, while criticizing the INDIA Alliance and dynastic politics.

As Modi concluded his address, he urged the crowd to join him in celebrating the ongoing development efforts, encouraging everyone to participate by turning on the flashlights of their mobile phones.

Modi also enjoyed elephant safari in the Kaziranga national park before he addressed the rally.

Prime Minister also unveiled a stunning 84-foot statue of Lachit Borphukan, a famous general from the Ahom Kingdom of Assam.

The Prime Minister's tour came ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections queering pitch in Northeast by striking a personal chord with the people.

Sword of Uncertainty Over Six CPSs’ Fate Temporarily Lifted: Relief for Sukhu Government

In a major relief to the Himachal Pradesh government, the Supreme Court has stayed the High Court’s directive to initiate disqualification proceedings against six MLAs who were appointed as Chief Parliamentary Secretaries (CPSs).

This decision, welcomed by Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, has brought a temporary reprieve to his administration, which was grappling with the political and legal ramifications of the High Court’s order.

The Himachal Pradesh High Court had earlier quashed the appointments of the six CPSs, deeming them unconstitutional, and directed the Assembly Speaker to initiate disqualification proceedings under the anti-defection law.

However, the Supreme Court’s stay has effectively paused the implementation of this directive, offering the government some breathing space to strategize its next legal move.

CM Sukhu Hails Supreme Court’s Clarity

Speaking to media persons in New Delhi, CM Sukhu expressed his satisfaction with the Supreme Court’s interpretation, which he said provided much-needed clarity on the matter.

"The relief granted by the Supreme Court is significant, and we will deliberate on the next steps after considering all legal aspects,” he said.

The Chief Minister also emphasized that the apex court’s interpretation differed from paragraph 50 of the High Court’s verdict, which had been the basis of the controversial directive.

Opposition’s “Childish” Behavior Criticized

Shifting his focus to the opposition, Sukhu took a sharp jab at their tactics, describing their behavior as “childish” and lacking focus on real issues.

“There are no controversies here, but their behavior is simply immature. From toilet tax to ‘Samosa Politics,’ they are just distracting from the real issues,” he said.

Sukhu accused the opposition BJP of attempting to create diversions because of its failure to make a dent in the Congress’s strength during the Vidhan Sabha elections.

“Their ‘Operation Lotus’ was decisively rejected by the people, and Congress retained its 40-seat strength. Now, they resort to personal attacks to divert attention from our welfare schemes,” he added.

Relief Amid Mounting Challenges

The Supreme Court’s stay on the High Court’s order has momentarily eased the pressure on the Sukhu government, but the sword of uncertainty continues to hang over the six MLAs who served as CPSs.

With questions around their appointments still unresolved, the case remains a legal minefield.

The CPS appointments had drawn criticism for allegedly violating constitutional provisions, which prohibit the creation of such posts without legislative backing.

The High Court’s scathing remarks and the directive for disqualification had added fuel to the controversy, creating a storm in the state’s political landscape.

While the Supreme Court’s intervention provides temporary relief, the Sukhu government must now prepare for a protracted legal battle to defend the appointments and protect its legislative majority.

Opposition’s Counterattacks

The BJP, meanwhile, has been quick to pounce on the issue, accusing the government of flouting constitutional norms for political convenience. Party leaders have argued that the CPS appointments were a backdoor way to reward loyalists, a claim that Sukhu has staunchly denied.

The opposition’s attacks, combined with the ongoing legal scrutiny, highlight the precarious nature of the government’s position. For now, the Supreme Court’s decision is a welcome pause, but the final word on the matter could still have far-reaching consequences for the political stability of Himachal Pradesh.

Sukhu’s Call for Responsibility

Amid the controversy, Sukhu reiterated his commitment to governance and welfare. He called on the opposition to act responsibly and raise issues that matter to the common man.

“Significant progress has been made in improving the socio-economic status of the underprivileged during this tenure, and that remains our priority,” he stated.

With the legal wrangling far from over, the fate of the six CPSs—and the stability of the Sukhu government—remains inextricably tied to the unfolding courtroom drama.
