New Delhi, Feb 6: On Tuesday, members of the opposition in the Lok Sabha asked the administration to call early assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir. During a discussion on The Jammu and Kashmir Local Bodies Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024, Hasnain Masoodi (NC) made a call for the early holding of elections in the union territory. He claimed that before the Supreme Court had to get involved, the national government ought to have made a decision regarding the polls. A few months ago, the highest court ordered the Election Commission to schedule assembly elections for September of this year in Jammu and Kashmir.Masoodi stated On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that important choices will be made by his cabinet. According to Masoodi, elections in the union territory ought to be conducted before any further significant choices are made. Ajay Misra, the minister of state for housing, stepped in to point out that elections for local bodies were held in the previous state. TMC politician Saugata Roy spoke during the debate, bringing up the Supreme Court's observation and advocating for early Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections. By virtue of Article 370's abrogation, Jammu and Kashmir became a union territory on August 5, 2019, complete with a legislative assembly provision. The UT is currently governed centrally.The NCP's Supriya Sule requested that the administration provide a timeframe and a definitive response regarding the staging of assembly polls and the awarding of statehood to the people of J&K. She said the government could at least provide a rough schedule for when the democratic exercise will take place, even if the Election Commission will choose the date. The Jammu and Kashmir Local Bodies Laws (Amendment) Bill, according to Jammu BJP member Jugal Kishore Sharma, will provide justice for the other backward classes (OBCs) in the UT. According to Chinta Anuradha of the YSRCP, this legislation is progressive and will facilitate the smooth running of local elections, such as those for panchayats.Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai moved the bill for discussion, stating that the OBCs in J&K, who had previously been disregarded, had been placed on the path of development following the repeal of Article 370. The OBCs in Jammu and Kashmir will receive justice thanks to this measure. OBCs are not currently able to reserve seats in panchayats or municipalities within the Union territory.

New Delhi, Feb 6: A bill to give reservations to members of Other Backward Classes in Jammu and Kashmir's panchayats and municipalities as well as to align local body rules in the Union territory with the Constitution's provisions was brought up for consideration by the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The Jammu and Kashmir Local Bodies Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024 was introduced by Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai and is scheduled to be passed by the House. On Monday, the bill was presented to the House. The Jammu and Kashmir Municipal Act of 2000, the Jammu and Kashmir Municipal Corporation Act of 2000, and the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Act of 1989 are all intended to be amended by this bill. According to Rai, the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayati Raj Act's provisions regarding the state election commissioner "are at variance" with the Constitution. Hasnain Masoodi, a member of the National Conference, participated in the discussion and stated that the government has not set a date for assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, which became a union territory after Article 370 was repealed and bifurcated. He stated that the Supreme Court's decision to impose an upper bound on the holding of assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir is a source of "shame" for the government. The National Conference has also called for Jammu and Kashmir to be granted its own state again.Participating in the discussion, Saugata Roy, a member of the Trinamool Congress, claimed that the BJP could not be trusted in local body elections and that the Supreme Court had imposed restrictions on the Chandigarh mayoral election process. He also called for Jammu and Kashmir to hold early assembly elections. [caption id="attachment_10377" align="alignnone" width="300"] Lok Sabha Takes Up Bill To Amend Local Body Laws In J&K[/caption]
Goa, Feb 6: Inviting international investors to share in India's success story, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Tuesday that the country will witness investments totaling USD 67 billion in the energy industry during the next five to six years. Here, Modi opened the second edition of India Energy Week, stating that the nation's economy is expanding at a rate of more than 7.5% and will soon overtake the United States as the third largest in the world. He said that the country is anticipated to raise its refining capacity from 254 MMTPA (million metric tonne per annum) to 450 MMTPA by 2030, inviting international firms to join in India's energy sector expansion. "The energy sector in India will receive an investment of USD 67 billion over the next five to six years," he declared. The prime minister went on to say that India is making previously unheard-of financial investments in the energy sector. He added that by 2045, the nation's primary energy consumption would have doubled. According to Modi, India is the fourth-biggest importer of LNG and the third-largest user of LPG and crude oil. According to the prime minister, India's energy management plan has resulted in lower costs for petrol and diesel over the past two years, despite global challenges. He stated that every analyst believes that India is the biggest economy with the highest rate of growth and will soon overtake the United States as the third largest in the world. He stated that India's GDP growth is currently more than 7.5%, which is higher than what international organisations had predicted. According to him, government reforms are contributing to an increase in domestic natural gas output, and India aims to increase the proportion of gas in its energy mix to 15% by 2030. He mentioned that in the last ten years, the percentage of ethanol blended into fuel has risen from 1.5 to 12 percent. By 2025, he said, petrol will have 20 percent ethanol blended in. The prime minister stated that although India only contributes 4% of world emissions, the country aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2070. Additionally, excess electricity produced by the recently announced programme to install solar rooftops on one crore homes will be connected to the grid.
