40% of Chief Ministers face criminal cases: ADR
A recent report by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) reveals that 40% of India's chief ministers, specifically 12 out of 30, have declared criminal cases against themselves. Telangana CM Revanth Reddy tops the list with 89 cases, followed by Tamil Nadu CM M.K. Stalin with 47.
KOLKATA: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday accused the opposition INDIA bloc, including the TMC, of shielding corruption and resisting legislative moves aimed at ensuring probity in public life. Addressing a rally here, Modi made indirect references to the Constitution (130th Amendment) Bill, 2025, introduced in Parliament earlier this week, which seeks to bar prime ministers, chief ministers, and ministers from holding office if they remain in jail for 30 days or more. Citing the provisions of the proposed law, the PM said, We decided to bring in a law that provides for dismissing a corrupt chief minister, or even the prime minister, if he or she spends 30 days in jail. But when we brought in a stringent law, the TMC, the Congress started protesting. They are angry because they are scared of facing punishment for their own sins. In an apparent dig at former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Modi said, It is a shame that even a chief minister, after going to jail, has been running government from there. Targeting the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in Bengal, the PM said, Two TMC ministers, even after going to jail on corruption charges, were not willing to give up their posts. He was referring to former state education minister Partha Chatterjee, arrested in connection with the teachers recruitment scam, and Jyoti Priya Mallick, arrested in the ration distribution scam. Those who are arrested on corruption charges, how can they be part of the government and remain in their posts? Modi will not allow this, the PM thundered. Defending his governments move, Modi said the new Bill was necessary to plug glaring loopholes in the system. Look at the situation, nowadays some people have stooped so low that they are trying to run the government from jail, Modi added. Highlighting his governments records, the Prime Minister said, For the past 11 years, the country has been waging a determined battle against corruption. In this regard, we have taken a significant step forward by introducing an anti-corruption Bill in the Lok Sabha. Under existing laws, if a government employee is caught and incarcerated without securing bail within 50 hours, they are automatically suspended from their position. However, no such provisions exist for a chief minister, a prime minister, or a minister. This loophole has allowed some leaders to stoop so low that they attempt to govern from behind bars. Of the 30 chief ministers in the country, 12 of them, or 40 percent, declared criminal cases against themselves, according to a new report by poll rights body ADR. Telangana CM Revanth Reddy has declared 89 cases against him, the highest, followed by Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin, who declared 47. Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu declared 19, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah declared 13, and Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren declared five cases. Maharashtra and Himachal Pradesh chief ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Sukhvinder Singh declared four cases each, Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan declared two, and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann declared one case. According to the report by the Association for Democratic Reforms, 10, or 33 per cent, of the chief ministers have declared serious criminal cases, including cases related to attempt to murder, kidnapping, bribery, and criminal intimidation against them. The ADR said it analysed the self-sworn affidavits of all 30 sitting chief ministers in state Assemblies and Union Territories. This data is from affidavits they filed prior to contesting their last elections.

Amit Shah accuses opposition's VP candidate Justice Reddy of 'aiding' Naxalism
KOCHI: Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah on Friday accused the Congress-led alliance's Vice-President candidate Justice B Sudershan Reddy of supporting Naxalism, saying if he had not delivered the Salwa Judum judgement, extremist Left movement in the country would have ended before 2020. He was speaking after inaugurating the Manorama News conclave organised by Malayala Manorama group here on Friday. Shah said that, with the Congresss choice of candidate for the Vice-President post, the partys chances of winning in Kerala have further diminished. Sudershan Reddy is the person who helped Naxalism. He gave Salwa Judum judgment. If the Salwa Judum judgement had not been given, the Naxal terrorism would have ended by 2020. He is the person who was inspired by the ideology that gave Salwa Judam judgment, Shah said, referring to 2011 SC judgement on Salwa Judum, during a question answer session as part of the conclave. In December 2011, Justice Reddy of the Supreme Court ruled that using tribal youths as Special Police Officers--whether called 'Koya Commandos', Salwa Judum, or by any other name--in the fight against Maoist insurgents was illegal and unconstitutional. He also ordered that they be immediately disarmed. Shah said Kerala has faced the brunt of Naxalism. People of Kerala will certainly see that the Congress party, under the pressure of Left parties, is fielding a candidate who supported Naxalism and used a pious forum like the Supreme Court, the Home Minister said. INDIA bloc VP candidate: Jurist behind many landmark rulings and ex-chairman of Telangana caste census committee The ruling NDA has picked Maharashtra Governor C P Radhakrishnan, a seasoned BJP leader from Tamil Nadu with an RSS background, as its vice-presidential candidate . Shah responded to a question regarding the three recently introduced bills in Parliament, which the BJP describes as anti-graft legislation. There is nothing further to address on this matter. I have asked the people of the country in Parliament: do they want the Prime Minister to run the government from jail? What kind of debate is this? It is a question of morality. Now they are asking why it was not included in the Constitution earlier. When the Constitution was drafted, it was not anticipated that people who had been to jail would continue to hold elected office, he said. The Home Minister referred to the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal on graft charges while he was Chief Minister of Delhi, and to his refusal to resign after being jailed. Now, there was an incident where a Chief Minister ran the government from jail. So, should the Constitution be amended or not? There was also a BJP government in power, but we never faced such a situation, Shah said, indicating that if Kejriwal had resigned following his arrest, this new bill would not have been introduced. He also took a dig at Rahul Gandhi, claiming that the Congress leader had torn up an ordinance introduced by the Manmohan Singh-led UPA government in 2013, which sought to provide relief to MPs and MLAs who had been disqualified or convicted of a crime. At the time, the ordinance was brought in to help Lalu Prasad by Manmohan Singh. Rahul Gandhi, in the name of morality, tore up a cabinet-cleared copy of the ordinance in public. The same Rahul Gandhi is now seen embracing Lalu ji at Gandhi Maidan, Shah said. Regarding the 'vote theft' allegation, the Home Minister maintained that after Rahul joined the Congress leadership, he saw constitutional matters with doubt. On the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), a major overhaul of the electoral roll conducted by the Election Commission of India (ECI) in Bihar ahead of the 2025 Assembly elections, Shah accused the Congress of creating unnecessary controversy over the exercise. He claimed that the Congress had the opportunity to raise objections at the constituency, district, and state levels, but had not submitted any complaint on SIR so far. Regarding the implementation of SIR in other states, he said that it was for the Election Commission to decide. The EC has decided to conduct SIR across the country. In Bihar's voters' list, there were 22 lakh people who had died. There is a possibility that bogus votes would be cast. So, should their names be removed or not? It is a matter of common sense, he said.

Huge growth in female EPFO membership in June: Labour ministry
NEW DELHI: The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) witnessed nearly 3.02 lakh new female members in June this year, marking an increase of 14.92% compared to the previous month. They are part of an overall 10.62 lakh new members who enrolled with the EPFO during June. Releasing the provisional payroll data for the month, an official release from the Labour Ministry said, The growth in female member additions is indicative of a broader shift towards a more inclusive and diverse workforce. The EPFO enrolled around 10.62 lakh new subscribers in June 2025, representing a 12.68% increase over May 2025 and a growth of 3.61% compared to June 2024. This increase in new subscribers can be attributed to growing employment opportunities, increased awareness of employee benefits, and EPFO's successful outreach programmes, it said. The Organisation added 6.39 lakh new subscribers in the 18-25 age group, constituting a significant 60.22% of the total new subscribers added in June 2025. Approximately 16.93 lakh members, who had exited earlier, rejoined EPFO in June 2025, the release added. This figure depicts a 5.09% increase over May 2025. It also displays a significant 19.65% year-over-year growth compared to June 2024.
