Criticizing the special intensive amendment (SIR) of the electoral rolls in Bihar, Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev on Saturday, July 26, claimed that the same practice would be removed from the voter list even before next year’s state surveys and 30-40 lakh names.

He questioned the recent cracks on ‘illegal Bangladeshis’ in the country, alleging that it was being done on the basis of language and Bengalis were being targeted.

“What is happening in Bihar through Sir, the Election Commission will repeat in Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and all Indian states. The opposition is increasing the issue in Parliament every day as the NDA government has refused to allow a debate on it,” Dev said in a press conference.

Claiming that the SIR is ‘unconstitutional and illegal’, Dev said that the EC is not authorized to determine the citizenship of a person.

The former Assam Lok Sabha MP said, “The Election Commission cannot question me my citizenship. It is the job and jurisdiction of the Ministry of Home Affairs.”

Why Consensus Center depends on compensation states

Published

on

As the GST Council calls for a two -day meeting tomorrow, the fastest point of the dispute will not be the Prime Minister’s Diwali deadline for the “next generation” reforms, but the question of how the states will be compensated for the proposed comprehensive changes.

Improvements may be promised to simplify the tax structure and low rates on essential commodities and services, but state governments are afraid that they will have to struggle with lack of adequate revenue.

At the center of the case, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to start a new GST regime by 2025. The proposed overhaul includes compressing the current four-level structure in two major slabs of 5 percent and 18 percent while maintaining exemption on essential food, medicines and education.

In addition, a high 40 percent rate is to be planted on sin and luxury goods, which covers items such as alcohol, tobacco and cigarettes. While the Center frames the move as a “Diwali gift” to reduce prices to consumers and MSMEs and simplify compliance, states have argued that the actual cost will be borne by them.

Many items are expected to shift up to 12 percent from slabs to 5 percent and 28 percent from slab to 18 percent, state governments will come for sharp contractions in tax receipts.

Opposition ruled states, including Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Punjab, Jharkhand, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh, have warned that the proposed rationalization can strip between Rs 85,000 crore and Rs 2 lakh crore annually from their treasures.

These estimates are for 15-20 percent erosion of their GST revenue base. Telangana alone suffers a loss of Rs 7,000 crore.

The compensation end of compensation cess in March 2026 has intensified the demands for an alternative mechanism. Using 2024–25 as the state base year, the minimum five-year-old compensation are pressurizing for guarantee, and the protection of at least 14 percent revenue increase per year that reflects the conditions in the first five years of GST.

Without such security, finance ministers have warned that important welfare schemes, infrastructure projects and development expenses will be compromised.

Gandhi reiterated the allegations of “rigging of industrial-mamane” in the 2019 Maharashtra assembly elections, accusing the Election Commission (ECI) of India to help the BJP to help in elections later.

Political observers in Patna believe that the Congress campaign has ignored the BJP. However, BJP leader and Patna Sahib MP Ravi Shankar Prasad dismissed Gandhi’s remarks as “irresponsible”, saying, “Whenever I listen to Rahul Gandhi, inside or out of Parliament, takes time to understand what he is trying to say.

Gandhi’s Pinpoint allegations and a large -scale mob in their voter Adikar Yatra meetings in front of the mob, however, such a thing looks rapidly irrelevant and clear. In the post-7 August press conference, not a single point-by-point rebellion of his allegations has come from either BJP or ECI.

The ECI has only denied Gandhi’s allegations. On August 14, it called Mahadevpura to Gandhi’s claims about “false and misleading”. Earlier in February, the ECI described it as “efforts to disappoint parties” as “completely absurd” by the ECI “disappointed with the poll results”.

Widely criticized and at the press conference, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar dramatically announced that Gandhi either would have to prove his allegations or apologize to the nation “. Since then a fortnight has passed. Kumar is still waiting for the evidence that Gandhi has already presented.
