sarpanch pati

Rajya Sabha Secretariat denied AAP MP Raghav Chadha a chance to speak on the Jan Vishwas Amendment Bill, citing no party allocation. This follows AAP naming Ashok Kumar Mittal as their new Deputy Leader in the Upper House, replacing Chadha. Mittal, an MP from Punjab, has been active in parliamentary committees and international delegations.

Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring stated that Raghav Chadha's removal as AAP's Deputy Leader in the Rajya Sabha signifies his sidelining within the party. This move fuels public perception that Chadha may soon leave or be removed from AAP. Ashok Kumar Mittal has replaced Chadha in the role.

Raghav Chadha, a former key AAP figure, appears sidelined, fueling speculation with his absence from public events and silence on crucial party issues. His prolonged absence during Arvind Kejriwal's arrest and subsequent lack of comment on the excise case have intensified these questions. Punjab Congress president suggests Chadha is distancing himself from the party.

The Aam Aadmi Party has replaced Raghav Chadha as its Rajya Sabha deputy leader with Ashok Mittal, signaling a strategic shift in parliamentary roles. Chadha, previously a prominent voice, will no longer be part of the party's official speaking lineup, despite his recent engagement on public interest issues and a growing social media presence.

The Aam Aadmi Party has requested the Rajya Sabha Secretariat to remove Raghav Chadha as Deputy Leader of the party in the Upper House. The party also wants him excluded from speaking time allocated to AAP, proposing Ashok Mittal for the Deputy Leader role. This move indicates a significant internal leadership adjustment in Parliament, though official reasons remain undisclosed.

A severe LPG shortage in Kendrapada district has compelled rural residents to revert to cow-dung cakes for cooking, leading to a significant surge in demand. This shift has created an income source for many, though some younger generations are unfamiliar with the traditional method. Villagers near Bhitarkanika National Park, restricted from collecting firewood, are also increasingly reliant on cow-dung cakes.

Writ of sarpanch patis (husbands of elected women representatives in panchayat bodies handling official work as proxy for them) was on display at a Swachch Bharat Mission programme organised by state government in the state capital on Saturday.

It happened again. Less than two weeks after husbands of elected panchayat members took oath of office instead of the women in Dhar and Damoh districts, a ‘sarpanch pati’ — husband of the sarpanch — hoisted the Tricolour in Alirajpur district of Madhya Pradesh.

The Centre launches a capacity building programme to curb the 'sarpanch pati' phenomenon, focusing on leadership and decision-making skills of women in Panchayati Raj Institutions. The initiative includes a primer on laws against gender-based violence to empower women leaders and enhance their legal knowledge.

Prime minister Narendra Modi on Friday took a gentle dig at the system of "sarpanch-pati", the illegal arrangement of husbands being the proxy for elected women in panchayats, and sought the end of this practice.

An MLA by the virtue of her family having a tall political legacy, Haryana deputy CM Dushyant Chautala's MLA mother, Naina Chautala, on Monday backed the pratice of a "sarpanch pati", a term used for husbands who take decisions instead of their sarpanch wife.

Although Haryana has reserved 50% of panchayat seats for women, that hasn’t dented the patriarchy

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday there was need to think on how to develop villages.
