Monday, 15 January 2024 Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren has written to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) agreeing to join the investigation on January 20. He had previously refused to attend questioning in a money laundering case. The CM called the ED summons "illegal" and protested against proceedings he deemed as political vendetta. Last year, the ED had seized/attached assets worth more than Rs 50 crore after multiple searches at the premises of Soren’s close associates. Three associates — Prem Prakash, Pankaj Mishra and Amit Agarwal — were arrested and are in judicial custody.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, recently granted bail in the Delhi excise policy case, launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led central government. He accused the government of attempting to crush his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) by targeting its top leaders for arrest. Speaking at the AAP headquarters in Delhi, Kejriwal warned that if the BJP returned to power, all opposition leaders would face imprisonment. Despite his time in jail, Kejriwal explained that he did not resign from his post as he believes in fighting against authoritarianism and upholding democracy. He also expressed his determination to continue the battle for democracy, stating that even other leaders like Hemant Soren shouldn't have resigned. Kejriwal's remarks come amid escalating political tensions ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, where he predicts the BJP will secure around 220 seats.

Home to the revered shrine of Sufi saint Salim Chishti and the imposing red sandstone fortress built by Emperor Akbar, Fatehpur Sikri stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Mughal era. In the upcoming elections, the Fatehpur Sikri seat finds itself delicately poised, with both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress party setting their sights on clinching victory. The Congress, contesting 17 seats in Uttar Pradesh as part of its alliance with the Samajwadi Party under the INDIA bloc, has fielded Ramnath Sikarwar, popularly known as 'Fauji Baba,' to take on the BJP's sitting MP, Rajkumar Chahar. Chahar, who had secured a resounding victory in 2019 by defeating Raj Babbar, the then-state Congress president, with a margin of five lakh votes, faces twin challenges this time around. Not only is he grappling with internal party conflicts over his candidature, but he also finds himself confronted with significant anti-incumbency sentiment.
Pankaj Mishra, Imran Shah and Rajender Bhandari visited Fatehpur Sikri report.

Meerut's Historic Canvas Painted with Political Fervour. Oneindia's Pankaj Mishra sits with academicians, retired defence personnel and career counsellors among others, gauging the mood of Meerut, the ancient 'Cantonment City'.

Amidst Meerut's storied legacy, this triangular contest mirrors a clash of celebrity charisma, local connect and ideological narratives.
