Sharad Pawar's NCP, Uddhav Thackeray on Friday said that he would not accept the formula of the biggest party in the Maha Vikas Aghadi getting the chief minister's post after the assembly polls. Thackeray said that the Congress and the NCP-SP should declare a chief ministerial candidate before the assembly polls and that he is ready to support any candidate declared by the two parties. «I don't want this experience that we had with the BJP to be recreated again. We were together for 25-30 years and we had an arrangement that the party with the most seats would get the CM post. So, by this logic if you get more seats, you will become CM… so I will pull you down (ensure that the ally does not win) and the other party will pull me down. Then what is the purpose of an alliance,» said Thackeray.

Election Commission of India (EC) announcing assembly election dates for Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir on Friday, the opposition has raised questions about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's push for «one nation, one election.» The EC's decision to conduct elections only in these two states this year, while excluding Maharashtra, comes just a day after Modi's strong endorsement of the concept during his Independence Day address. The EC announced that Haryana will vote in a single phase on October 1, while Jammu & Kashmir will undergo a three-phase election process on September 19, September 25, and October 1, with counting scheduled for October 4. Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar explained the rationale behind the decision, stating that logistical and security concerns influenced the EC's approach. «Last time, Maharashtra and Haryana elections were held together. This time, with four states due for elections and heavy rainfall in Maharashtra, as well as several festivals lined up, we decided to conduct elections in two states together,» Kumar said. He added that the additional factors of security force requirements also played a role in the decision.

The government, in a statement said, the circular came after the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the CAG’s recorded their observations over the government’s deposits in the two banks. “This action was taken in response to the alleged fraud in the bank branches, which resulted in the non-repayment of fixed deposits made by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) and the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB). Despite prolonged correspondence and meetings, these issues remained unresolved since 2012-13. On August 16, 2024, both banks submitted written representations to the government, requesting a 15-day period to resolve the matter. The same day, senior bank officials met with higher officials of the Finance Department and reiterated their request,” the statement said. The CM accepted their request. “This will allow the banks sufficient time to address the issues and redress the concerns of the government. The government is committed to ensuring transparency and accountability in all its dealings. We will continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate action to protect the interests of all stakeholders.”
