In a post on Twitter, Sarma strongly rejected all the allegations and accused the Congress of spreading falsehoods.“Pawan Kheda’s press conference today reflects the deep frustration and anxiety within him congress party. As Assam moves decisively towards a historic mandate, such desperate and baseless attacks only highlight their sinking ground.”Denying the allegations, he said, “I categorically reject every allegation made by him. These are malicious, fabricated and politically motivated lies aimed at misleading the people of Assam.”“I and my wife will be filing both criminal and civil defamation cases against Mr. Pawan Kheda within the next 48 hours. He will be held fully accountable for his reckless and defamatory statements,” Sarma wrote. Expressing confidence in the legal process, he said, “I have full faith in the judiciary. Once the truth is established in the court, Mr. Pawan Kheda will have to face the consequences of his actions, and the law will take its due course.”

What did Pawan Kheda say in the press conference?

During his press conference, Kheda made many allegations and raised questions against Sarma and his family. He questioned the issue of multiple passports and suggested possible violations of the law.Kheda also alleged financial ties with shell companies abroad and questioned his standing.“Himanta Biswa Sarma has kept his money in shell companies set up in Wyoming. Why Wyoming? Because there are no taxes here… It is a famous place where people hide their assets.”He further claimed that the information was verified before making it public.“When we got this information we cross-checked it for 2 days and today this information is in front of you.”He said while raising the demand for investigation.

  • When will CEC Gyanesh Kumar take cognizance of hiding information in the affidavit?

Kheda also questioned the source of the alleged wealth and demanded action. “Himanta should tell how he earned Rs 52,000 crore?”“Based on this information, Himanta should not stay out of jail even for a day, his nomination should be cancelled.”He further alleged that Sarma’s wife Rinki Bhuyan Sarma has business and property connections abroad.“Himant’s wife Rinke Bhuyan Sarma has a company in Wyoming, USA. The member list of this company includes Rinke Bhuyan Sarma, Himanta Biswa Sarma and his son.”

How should the public react to such political allegations?

Kheda also raised questions about the alleged properties in Dubai and their disclosure. “The question is why Himanta did not disclose his wife’s Dubai properties in the affidavit?”He concluded by urging officials to take action and sought feedback from the central leadership. “Home Minister Amit Shah please respond – will he set up a SIT to investigate this matter?”. Kheda asked.

बदरीनाथ हाईवे: कमेड़ा वन में राहत, कमेड़ा टू और उमट्टा बनेंगे समस्या, 35 किमी में सात से ज्यादा भूस्खलन क्षेत्र – बद्रीनाथ हाईवे कमेड़ा वन में राहत; कामेडा-2 और उमट्टा खतरा पैदा करने के लिए तैयार हैं

चारधाम यात्रा शुरू होने में सिर्फ दो हफ्ते बचे हैं, लेकिन कमेड़ा से सोनला तक सात से अधिक भूस्खलन प्रभावित क्षेत्र, गौचर के पास कमेड़ा वन क्षेत्र, चमोली जिले का प्रवेश द्वार कर्णप्रयाग, उमट्टा धार, जयकंडी, जिलासू पुल, लंगासू से देवलीबगड़ और बेदानू कस्बे जैसे कई संवेदनशील स्थान प्रशासन और श्रद्धालुओं के लिए चुनौती बने हुए हैं। राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग अवसंरचना विकास निगम लिमिटेड (एनएचआईडीसीएल) द्वारा कई स्थानों पर सुरक्षा और उपचार कार्य किए जा रहे हैं, लेकिन यात्रा शुरू होने तक इनके पूरा होने पर संदेह है।

एनएचआईडीसीएल ने गौचर के पास कमेड़ा वन भूस्खलन क्षेत्र में सुरक्षा कार्य शुरू कर दिया है, हालांकि इसकी असली परीक्षा बारिश के दौरान होगी। फिलहाल बारिश न होने से थोड़ी राहत है। वहीं, कमेड़ा पेट्रोल पंप से कूड़ा निस्तारण केंद्र तक कमेड़ा 2 भूस्खलन जोन अभी भी गंभीर चुनौती बना हुआ है, जहां काम तेजी से चल रहा है, लेकिन समय पर पूरा हो पाएगा, इसमें संदेह है। अगर काम अधूरा रहा तो वाहनों को संकरी और ऊबड़-खाबड़ सड़कों से गुजरना पड़ सकता है।

गौचर से कर्णप्रयाग के बीच भी कई स्थान संवेदनशील बने हुए हैं, हालांकि बारिश न होने पर राहत मिल सकती है। चटवापीपल में पुल का निर्माण पूरा हो चुका है और यात्रा से पहले शुरू होने की उम्मीद है। इसके अलावा चटवापीपल पेट्रोल पंप के पास स्थित भूस्खलन जोन पर ट्रीटमेंट का कार्य पूरा कर लिया गया है, जिसका परीक्षण भी आगामी बारिश में किया जाएगा।

चारधाम यात्रा 2026: भूस्खलन, गड्ढे, धूल और अधूरा काम, 15 किलोमीटर का सफर लेगा अग्निपरीक्षा, देखें ग्राउंड रिपोर्ट

कर्णप्रयाग क्षेत्र में राजनगर, उमा महेश्वर आश्रम, उमट्टा धार, जयकंडी और जिलासू पुल के पास भूस्खलन संभावित क्षेत्र बने हुए हैं। कई जगहों पर हाईवे पर लगातार पत्थर गिरने की घटनाएं भी सामने आ रही हैं. खासकर उमट्टा क्षेत्र में, जहां पिछले साल भारी भूस्खलन हुआ था, वहां अभी तक स्थाई ट्रीटमेंट नहीं किया जा सका है. मलबा हटाने का काम एनएचआईडीसीएल की ओर से किया जा रहा है, लेकिन 150 मीटर से अधिक की ऊंचाई और बड़े क्षेत्र में फैले भूस्खलन के कारण खतरा बना हुआ है. यहां मौजूद कई पेड़ भी खतरा बढ़ा रहे हैं।

लंगासू से देवलीबगड़ के बीच पांच से अधिक स्थानों पर भूस्खलन प्रभावित क्षेत्र बने हुए हैं। बेदानू कस्बे के दोनों ओर भारी भूस्खलन की स्थिति है, वहीं विराजकुंज से आगे पहाड़ी से लगातार पत्थर गिर रहे हैं.

स्थानीय लोगों ने यात्रा से पहले सुरक्षा उपायों को प्राथमिकता देने की मांग की है. बिराजकुंज के व्यवसायी देवी प्रसाद पंत और लंगासू के टीका प्रसाद सहित अन्य लोगों का कहना है कि यात्रा शुरू होने से पहले भूस्खलन का मलबा हटाकर आवश्यक सुरक्षा व्यवस्था सुनिश्चित की जानी चाहिए, ताकि श्रद्धालुओं और स्थानीय लोगों की आवाजाही सुरक्षित हो सके।

Sleep experts warn why you shouldn’t clean your bed first thing in the morning

Sleep experts warn why you shouldn't clean your bed first thing in the morning
Sleep experts warn against making your bed first: The surprising reason your morning tidying habit is creating a dust mite haven

Think making your bed first thing in the morning means you’ve got your life in order? think again. Every night, humans lose 285 ml to 1 liter of fluid through sweat and respiration. When you smooth out those sheets and plump up those pillowcases before your morning coffee, you’re essentially sealing the lid on a hot, humid incubator.A 2025 study in Indoor Air Journal (2026 widely cited in environmental health research) established that “Sleeping individuals release substantial moisture through sweat and respiration, which contribute to high humidity levels within bedding systems.” This confirms that humans lose significant moisture overnight and highlights that this moisture is trapped if the bed is made immediately.The average mattress is home to between 100,000 and 10 million dust mites and your clean habits could be making the problem worse. In an interview with The Times of India, Aaron M Fuhrman, founder and CEO of SleepPlay, a US-based modern CPAP and sleep therapy destination, explains why leaving your bed unmade may actually be a smarter, more hygienic choice.

Your morning bed-making habit is making you sick: The shocking truth

Your morning bed-making habit is making you sick: The shocking truth

“Most people don’t realize that they are creating the perfect environment for dust mites every morning,” Fuhrman said. “When you realize what’s going on under those neatly laid sheets, you may think twice about making your bed right away.”Read on as we break down the science behind unmade beds and highlight some expert practical solutions to keep your sleep space healthy.

Risks of Making Your Bed Early

Quickly seal up to 1 liter of moisture released from your bedding overnight, preventing it from evaporating. This creates a microclimate of over 50% humidity where dust mites thrive and reproduce twice as fast.According to a recent news 2026 Studies in Building and Environment“Relative humidity above 50% substantially increases dust mite survival and reproduction, particularly in the bedding microenvironment where moisture is retained,” the researchers found. This showed that trapped moisture creates a humidity level where dust mites thrive and supports the idea that making the bed too early can make conditions worse.“Think of it like leaving wet clothes in a closed basket,” Fuhrman explained. “You’re trapping all the moisture overnight between your mattress and quilt, creating exactly the conditions that dust mites love.”A 2026 Household Allergen Exposure Review by the World Health Organizationreported that dust mites are among the most common indoor allergens, thriving in “warm, humid environments such as bedding and mattresses.”

​Sleep experts warn that making your bed immediately after waking up can trap up to 1 liter of moisture, creating a breeding ground for millions of dust mites.

Sleep experts warn that making your bed immediately after waking up traps up to 1 liter of moisture, creating a breeding ground for millions of dust mites.

The problem goes beyond dust particles. Constant moisture trapped between the mattress and heavy quilt can lead to the growth of microscopic mold. Although you won’t see visible mold spots, microscopic mold spores can grow in these moist conditions, potentially triggering allergies and respiratory problems.“For people with sleep apnea or other respiratory conditions, it becomes even more severe,” Fuhrman said. “You’re spending eight hours a day breathing an environment that can work against your health.”

Solution: How to keep your bed healthy

Experts suggest four simple strategies that can dramatically reduce moisture and dust mite populations without requiring major lifestyle changes:

  1. 60-minute rule: Leave your bed open for at least an hour after waking up. This simple delay allows moisture to naturally evaporate from your sheets and mattress. “Simply pull back your quilt when you wake up and let everything air out while you eat breakfast or get ready for work,” suggests Fuhrman. “It’s the easiest change you can make.”
  2. Strip Back Method: Pull your quilt down from the bottom of the bed, exposing the entire sleeping surface. This maximizes airflow across the sheets and mattress, accelerating moisture evaporation. “The more surface area exposed to air, the faster moisture is lost,” Fuhrman explains. “It also helps regulate the temperature of the mattress, making it less hospitable to dust mites.”
  3. Let it breathe: Open your bedroom windows and curtains to increase ventilation and let in sunlight. Natural light and fresh air are the biggest enemies of dust mites. “Dust mites hate dry, well-ventilated spaces,” Fuhrman said. “Even five minutes of fresh air circulation can make a real difference to the microclimate of your bed.” a fresh 2026 study in Journal of Environmental Healthnoted, “Increased airflow and exposure to daylight significantly reduces microbial load and prevents the growth of mold and allergens in fabrics.” This scientifically supports the recommendations of leaving bedding unmade, opening windows and letting sunlight in, and supports claims of naturally reducing mold spores and allergies.
  4. Wash weekly at 60°C: Wash your bedding weekly at a minimum temperature of 60°C (140°F). This is the range required to effectively kill dust mites and their eggs. “Lower temperatures may get your sheets cleaner, but they won’t eliminate the dust mite population,” Fuhrman said. “The 60-degree mark can’t be compromised if you want to kill them rather than just wash them.”

Benefits of unmade bedding: Reduce dust particles and improve sleep hygiene

Benefits of unmade bedding: Reduce dust particles and improve sleep hygiene

Making your bed immediately after waking up may seem productive but in reality you are creating a perfect storm for dust mites and potential mold growth. The moisture trapped in your night’s sleep needs somewhere to go and sealing it under your quilt is not the solution. The good news is that it doesn’t require expensive products or complicated routines to get it right. Simply waiting an hour before making your bed, pulling back your covers, and opening a window can dramatically improve your sleeping environment. This is one of those rare situations where doing less actually gets you better results.

'How can his wife have three passports?' Congress attacks Himanta's wife; Assam Chief Minister threatened defamation case

New Delhi: Fresh political controversy has erupted in Assam after Congress leader Pawan Khera made allegations against the Chief Minister. Himanta Biswa SarmaHis wife holds several foreign passports, to which the BJP leader sharply refuted and issued legal threats.The controversy began with Kheda’s press conference in Delhi, where he claimed to have documents showing that Sarma’s wife Riniki Bhuiyan Sharma held three passports. He said, “We have documents that show that Riniki Bhuyan Sharma, wife of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, holds three passports. The first is a UAE Golden Card, the second is an Antigua and Barbuda passport and the third is an Egyptian passport. Two of these are from Islamic countries, yet they continue to publicly claim religious observance.”

Kheda intensified the attack by linking the issue to broader allegations. He said, “You are seeing pictures of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his wife. Their names are linked to several allegations like land grab, misuse of temple funds, government subsidies and chit fund scams. But today, the documents we are presenting are directly related to matters outside India.” He described it as a “shocking detail”, saying that he had “not one, not two, but three passports that have not expired”.

‘Khera will have to face the consequences of his actions’: Himanta

Sarma rejected the claims as politically motivated and said both he and his wife would file a defamation case against Khera within 48 hours. He wrote onAnnouncing the legal action, he said, “I categorically reject every allegation made by them. These are malicious, fabricated and politically motivated lies aimed at misleading the people of Assam.” “I and my wife will be filing both criminal and civil defamation cases against Mr. Pawan Kheda within the next 48 hours. He will be held fully accountable for his reckless and defamatory statements.”He further wrote, “I have full faith in the judiciary. Once the truth is established in the court, Mr. Pawan Kheda will have to face the consequences of his actions and the law will take its due course.”

‘An embarrassment for Assam’: Gogoi

Assam Congress leader Gaurav also targeted Himanta and demanded further investigation. “Shocking allegations related to Himanta Biswa Sarma have emerged. Holding multiple passports and failure to disclose assets is a serious and criminal offense. How much money has he sent from Assam to his bank accounts abroad? More investigation is required,” he wrote, calling the chief minister “shameful” who “will have to answer questions and pay for his crime.”Sarma responded again by highlighting technical discrepancies in the alleged documents. In a detailed post, he listed “serious inconsistencies” that suggest fabrications. These included “Surname mismatch – ‘Sarma’ used instead of official ‘Sharma'”, and a photograph that “appears to be a publicly available image, not a standard biometric capture”.Referring to Antigua and Barbuda passports, he pointed to an “expiry date mismatch between the printed fields and the MRZ”, while Egyptian passports reportedly showed “passport number mismatches…spelling errors (‘Egypt’) and incorrect Arabic references”.“These discrepancies strongly indicate possible fabrication or digital manipulation. Truth will prevail. Those spreading misinformation will be held accountable,” Sarma wrote.This heated argument took place a few days before the voting in Assam on April 9.

19 साल बाद बड़ा फैसला…विधायक अभय सिंह समेत सभी आरोपी बरी, लखनऊ डबल मर्डर केस में चौंकाने वाला मोड़

उत्तर प्रदेश समाचार: उत्तर प्रदेश की राजधानी लखनऊ के चर्चित दोहरे हत्याकांड में 19 साल बाद आखिरकार बड़ा फैसला आ गया है। 31 मार्च 2007 को बाजारखाला इलाके के पूर्वांचल टेंट हाउस में हुई इस सनसनीखेज हत्या ने उस वक्त पूरे शहर को झकझोर कर रख दिया था. इस मामले में दो लोगों की बेरहमी से हत्या कर दी गई थी. अब लंबी सुनवाई के बाद लखनऊ की एमपी-एमएलए कोर्ट ने गोसाईंगंज विधायक अभय सिंह समेत सभी आरोपियों को बरी कर दिया है. इस फैसले के बाद जहां एक ओर आरोपियों ने राहत की सांस ली है, वहीं दूसरी ओर पीड़ित पक्ष ने इस पर नाराजगी जताई है.

किन लोगों की हत्या हुई?
यह मामला 31 मार्च 2007 का है, जब शत्रुघ्न सिंह उर्फ ​​छोटू और उनके नौकर जीतेंद्र त्रिपाठी की पूर्वांचल टेंट हाउस में हत्या कर दी गई थी. यह घटना बेहद क्रूर थी और शहर में काफी चर्चा में रही. इस मामले में कई लोगों के खिलाफ हत्या का मामला दर्ज किया गया था.

जो आरोपी थे
इस दोहरे हत्याकांड में गोसाईगंज विधायक अभय सिंह के अलावा रवींद्र उर्फ ​​रज्जू, अजय प्रताप सिंह उर्फ ​​अजय सिपाही और फिरोज अहमद को आरोपी बनाया गया था. इन सभी पर हत्या के गंभीर आरोप लगाए गए और लंबे समय तक मामला अदालत में चलता रहा.

कानूनी लड़ाई 19 साल तक चली
करीब 19 साल तक चले इस मामले में कोर्ट ने तमाम सबूतों और गवाहों की जांच की. आख़िरकार कोर्ट ने कहा कि पेश किए गए सबूत और गवाह आरोप साबित करने के लिए पर्याप्त नहीं हैं. इस आधार पर, सभी आरोपियों को बरी कर दिया गया और उनके खिलाफ सभी आरोप हटा दिए गए।

पीड़िता की नाराजगी
कोर्ट के इस फैसले से पीड़ित पक्ष संतुष्ट नहीं है. उनके वकील ने साफ कहा है कि वह इस फैसले के खिलाफ हाई कोर्ट में अपील करेंगे. उनका मानना ​​है कि न्याय अभी पूरा नहीं हुआ है और लड़ाई जारी रहेगी.

राजनीति में भी हलचल बढ़ गई
इस फैसले के बाद मामला राजनीतिक चर्चा का विषय भी बन गया है. अभय सिंह वही विधायक हैं जिन्होंने राज्यसभा चुनाव के दौरान पार्टी लाइन से हटकर वोट किया था। फिलहाल इस पर कोई आधिकारिक बयान नहीं आया है, लेकिन राजनीतिक गलियारों में इस फैसले को लेकर चर्चा तेज हो गई है.

SRH vs LSG, IPL 2026 | Rishabh Pant not committed to opening for LSG: Has the team already given up on the plan?

Ahead of Lucknow Super Giants’ match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rishabh Pant made no commitment about his starting spot. When Pant was asked at the time of the toss whether he would open the innings, he showed a faint smile and struggled to give a straight answer. After a brief pause, he told broadcaster Pommy Mbangwa that he would decide on the batting order when his turn came.

Pant’s response raises an important question, has LSG started to rethink their plans after just one game this season?

In his opening match against Delhi Capitals, Pant had promoted himself to open the innings with Mitchell Marsh. Despite his good performances last season, the move pushed in-form Aiden Markram down the order.

| SRH vs LSG, IPL 2026: Updates | Achievement: |

However, Pant failed to take advantage of the opportunity and was out after scoring just 7 runs from 9 balls before being run out at the non-striker’s end. The early shock left LSG reeling on home soil and they never really recovered.

LSG could score only 141 runs, which Pant’s former team Delhi Capitals easily achieved in 17.1 overs. After the match, Pant was seen having an animated discussion with the team owner and coach, a moment that reminded many of KL Rahul’s time in the franchise.

On Sunday, in LSG’s second match of the season, Pant’s inability to give clear answers about his batting position raised further concerns about the clarity of the team’s approach. The wicketkeeper-batsman had done important work before the season, Which also includes training with Yuvraj SinghIn an attempt to revive his white-ball career, which has been stalled in recent times.

But the fact that the captain appears unsure of his role after just one game is an ominous sign for LSG fans.

IPL 2026: SRH vs LSG

Meanwhile, in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s first home match of the season, Rishabh Pant won the toss and decided to bowl first, believing the pitch would be difficult in the first six overs.

LSG made one change to their playing eleven, with Manimaran Siddhartha replacing Anrich Nortje.

Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan was happy to return to Hyderabad and the support of the home crowd. He stressed the importance of remaining calm and executing plans well in T20 cricket.

“It’s always good to have support at home and the crowd loves the SRH team. So yes, very happy to be here. There are only two changes. Livingstone comes in and Harshal Patel comes in. Harshal Patel, whenever he has bowled here, has done well. And Livi has given him a chance to use his off-spin against left-handed batsmen as well,” Ishan said at the toss.

“Especially in T20, execution is the most important thing. You have to be in a good mind, stay calm and try to save as many runs as possible. So just plan well and execute on your balls. And I guess let’s see how it goes from there. It’s really important for us to get these two points. But at the same time, we need to stay calm, focus on one match at a time. And that’s the whole plan. In a good mind Be like I said before, and just play your best game.” Kishan added.

While LSG is coming off the back of a defeat, SRH had defeated KKR in their previous game. Ishan Kishan’s side will be hoping to build on this with their first home win of the season.

‘Bitter defeat for America’: Iran hails plane attack as victory after rescue of second F-15 pilot

Iran hails plane attack as victory after second F-15 pilot is rescued

Iran claimed a “bitter defeat” for the United States in southern Isfahan on Sunday after the rescue of a second F-15 crew member who went missing after Tehran shot down the jet.According to news agency ANI, Ibrahim Zolfaghari, a spokesman for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said the incident had “exposed the hollow nature of the US military and the disgraceful failure of its forces.”

‘Run, run, run… the enemy is coming’: Explosive revelations in defense of US pilot after Iran hits F-15E

“Trump tries to justify his weak military’s bitter defeat by creating an illusion for public opinion,” he said. According to Press TV, Zolfaghri highlighted that Iranian forces had shot down a C-130-class aircraft involved in the operation.Zolfaghari described Iran’s actions as a clear example of the “courageous” and “heroic” defense of its forces against US aggression.“We had already warned that the brave fighters of the country in the armed forces, with the help of God, will take down any aggressor and completely crush the attackers. The Iranian army’s decisive victory in southern Isfahan is a clear example of this courageous action,” he said.

US hails “most daring” rescue operation

While Iran called it its victory, President Donald Trump described the mission as a victory for the US military. In a social media post, Trump wrote that the rescued aviator was injured but “will be absolutely fine” and praised the operation, calling it “one of the most daring search and rescue operations in American history.” He confirmed that dozens of aircraft equipped with the “most lethal weapons” were deployed after two Black Hawk helicopters were reportedly targeted by local Iranian forces.Trump said, “This is the first time in military memory that two American pilots have been rescued separately over enemy territory. We will never leave an American warrior behind!” He also claimed that the operation proved America’s “overwhelming air dominance and superiority over Iranian skies”.

The conflict is increasing amid the ongoing war

This rescue operation has been done amid increasing tension between America and Iran. The conflict began with joint US-Israeli attacks on February 28 and has since killed thousands, disrupted shipping routes including the Strait of Hormuz and sent fuel prices soaring. Both sides have attacked civilian targets, raising concerns over possible war crimes.Two Black Hawk helicopters and a C-130 transport plane were shot down in Isfahan during the US operation, Iranian state TV said, citing the Joint Military Command, with pictures showing smoke rising from a desert area. During the mission, Iranian tribesmen also fired on American helicopters.Meanwhile, regional diplomatic efforts continue. Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdellatty and Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry have both held talks with US and Iranian officials to explore measures to de-escalate tensions, warning of a possible “unprecedented explosion” in the Middle East.Aid agencies have warned that the ongoing conflict is disrupting food and medicine deliveries. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization said that if hostilities continued until June, an additional 45 million people could face severe hunger, adding to the 320 million already at risk globally.

'Mischievous and must be opposed': Chidambaram criticizes Centre's move to convene Parliament at poll time

New Delhi: Congress leader and former Union Minister P. Chidambaram on Sunday criticized the Centre’s decision to convene Parliament days before voting for the assembly elections in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.In a social media post, Chidambaram described the Centre’s proposal as “mischievous” and alleged that it was designed to exclude MPs from discussing and voting on important constitutional amendment bills.“The proposal to convene Parliament on April 16-18 is mischievous and should be opposed. Voting is to be held in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal on April 23 (and April 29 in West Bengal),” the veteran leader said.“39 MPs from Tamil Nadu and 28 MPs from West Bengal are in the opposition in the Lok Sabha. They will be fully engaged in their constituencies during 16-18 April. If important Constitution amendment bills are brought up for discussion and voting on those dates, how will these 67 MPs in the Lok Sabha participate and vote? “I suspect the plan is to oust these MPs.”The budget session of Parliament will resume from April 16 to pass the bill to increase the number of Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 816.The government is considering introducing at least two bills, including constitutional amendments, in the current session of Parliament to implement reservation of one-third seats for women in the next Lok Sabha elections and subsequent assembly elections.The move promises to change the country’s political landscape and put an official seal of approval on PM Modi’s much-touted agenda of women empowerment as the campaign for the four state assemblies gathers pace.If the government gets its way, the number of seats in the Lok Sabha will increase by 50% to 816 from the current 543, with an increase of 273 seats set aside for women, ensuring that existing political dynamics and outgoing MPs, the majority of whom are men, will not be set loose due to a new size order. According to this, the majority figure will reach 409.According to news agency PTI, both houses will reconvene for two or three days to consider the proposed law.Although the ruling NDA does not have the strength to get the bill passed on its own, the government seems keen to get it passed during the budget session ending on April 4.For the first time in five decades, the strength of the Lok Sabha will increase. There will be no impact on the strength of Rajya Sabha and Legislative Councils in the states.
