Bhopal: Samandar Patel, a prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and a staunch loyalist of Jyotiraditya Scindia, has formally joined the ranks of the Indian National Congress (INC). The much-anticipated switch took place in the presence of Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief Kamal Nath, marking a pivotal moment in the state’s political landscape.

This momentous event unfolded at the PCC headquarters in Bhopal as Samandar Patel, accompanied by his ardent supporters, embraced the Congress party on a Friday. Notably, Patel led a formidable convoy of more than 800 vehicles, filled with his followers, on a journey from his hometown of Jawad in Neemuch to the state capital, Bhopal.

Addressing the gathering, Kamal Nath expressed his confidence in Patel’s commitment to the Congress ideology, customs, principles, and unwavering loyalty to the party. He emphasized Patel’s sincerity and the expectation that he would carry the truth to the people of his constituency.

Reflecting on the political landscape, Nath asserted, “In 2018, the Congress government came into power through the will of the public. In contrast, the BJP, under the leadership of Shivraj Singh Chouhan, assumed power through financial clout and questionable maneuvers. Despite being in power for 18 years, the state is marred by corruption and scandal at every turn.”

Nath continued, “The Chouhan-led BJP government not only ranks first in corruption but also leads in perpetrating injustices against women, farmers, and the youth. It is evident that the people of the state have made up their minds to bid farewell to the Shivraj government. I, too, will bid adieu, but with goodwill.”

In response, Patel expressed his joy at rejoining the Congress party, marking a significant homecoming in his political journey.

It’s worth noting that this isn’t an isolated instance of Scindia loyalists returning to the Congress fold. Recently, Baijnath Singh Yadav, the former Shivpuri district Congress President, who had worked closely with Scindia in the Kolaras area, returned to the Congress party, accompanied by several of his associates. Additionally, another aide of Scindia, Rakesh Gupta, who had ties with the trader class, also severed his affiliation with the BJP and reunited with the Congress party, along with his supporters.

As political dynamics continue to shift in the state, it sets the stage for what promises to be a fiercely contested assembly election later this year.

Supreme Court to Review Kolkata Doctor’s Rape and Murder Case on March 17
Supreme Court of India

The Supreme Court of India, under the leadership of Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, is scheduled to review the suo motu case concerning the rape and murder of a junior doctor from R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on March 17.

In August of the previous year, the Court addressed the tragic incident, emphasizing the critical need for enhanced safety measures for medical professionals nationwide. The Bench appealed to protesting doctors to resume their duties, assuring them of protection against any punitive actions related to their participation in the protests.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been actively probing the case. In October, they filed the initial charge sheet against Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer associated with Kolkata Police, implicating him in the heinous crime. The CBI‘s investigation suggests a potential broader conspiracy, highlighting concerns about evidence tampering during the early stages when the Kolkata Police were overseeing the investigation. Subsequently, two additional arrests were made: Sandip Ghosh, the former Principal of R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital, and Abhijit Mondal, the former Station House Officer of Tala Police Station. Both are accused of obstructing the investigation and tampering with evidence.

The upcoming hearing on March 17 will further address these developments, underscoring the Supreme Court‘s commitment to ensuring justice and reinforcing workplace safety for medical professionals across the country.

Note: For a comprehensive understanding, readers are encouraged to refer to official Supreme Court records and updates from the Central Bureau of Investigation.
