12 members met Gulam Ahmed Mir, AICC Incharge of Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee on 15 Feb 2024. The 12 Congress MLAs collectively demanded the new cabinet minister which was yet to be appointed at that time should not contain old cabinet ministers. Rather new and young faces should be given a chance as cabinet minister in Jharkhand.
Further on 16 Feb 2024, during the oath-taking ceremony of new cabinet-appointed ministers, these 12 congress MLAs were locked themselves in Room No 107 of the circuit house in Ranchi. The action showed their unhappiness towards the formation of new cabinet ministers since their demand was not taken into consideration and the same old faces were appointed as the cabinet minister in Champai Soren’s Government.
Taking the situation under control Gulam Ahmed Mir and Alamgir Alam visited the Room in Circuit House to compromise the matter and make the opposing Congress MLAs join the Oath-taking ceremony in the governor’s house, Ranchi.
Irfan Ansari flies to Delhi
Irfan Ansari, Jamtara MLA from Indian National Congress called the press during the late evening of 16 Feb 2024 stating that he will be travelling to Delhi. Today on 17 Feb 2024, Irfan Ansari released a statement to the media expressing his unhappiness with the appointed cabinet ministers in Jharkhand.
He said “We came to the Chairman (of PCC, Rajesh Thakur) today. We are 12 MLAs. A report was submitted to the high command that the (sitting) four ministers were not working properly. The (party) workers are not happy with us and until our demands are fulfilled, we will stay together.”
Appointed Cabinet Ministers are inefficient in performing their work
The 12 Congress MLAs who are against the newly appointed cabinet ministers in Jharkhand claimed that they have been cheated.
4 MLAs who are made the cabinet minister in Champai Soren’s government are not able to perform their work efficiently. During their past tenures, the 12 MLAs have complained to the Congress Committee that these 4 MLAs did not respond to their phone calls and they were not efficient in working for the people of Jharkhand. Shockingly it was also mentioned that PA of cabinet ministers used to block their calls in the past.
MLAs might travel to Bangalore or Jaipur
According to a recent report by Kashish News, the protesting Congress MLAs might travel to Jaipur or Bangalore. Further, the MLAs have stated that if the corrective action is not taken soon then they might not even attend the State Assembly Sessions in order to protest against the newly appointed cabinet ministers in Jharkhand.
4 congress appointed cabinet ministers
In the recently formed Jharkhand Cabinet, 4 MLAs are from Congress party. 12 protesting congress MLAs have shown their remark over these 4 MLAs in Jharkhand.
The names of the congress MLAs appointed under Jharkhand cabinet ministers are Alamgir Alam, Dr Rameshwar Oraon, Badal Patralekh and Banna Gupta.
Will MLAs revolt in Jharkhand? Will JMM + Congress alliance sustain in Jharkhand?
The Jharkhand political chaos has not even ended recently in Jharkhand and yet another phase of chaos has again started in Jharkhand. After Hemant Soren’s arrest by the ED and Champai Soren becoming the new chief minister of Jharkhand, the political stability seemed to be controlled in Jharkhand.
However, the delay in the formation of Cabinet Ministers again started creating an atmosphere of political tension in Jharkhand. The Lok Sabha election is going to start on 16 April 2024, and the Jharkhand State Election is also nearing which is going to be conducted during the November-Dec month of 2024. The political chaos in Jharkhand has not yet ended.
12 congress MLAs protesting and unhappy against the newly formed cabinet ministers in Jharkhand is raising questions about whether the double engine government that is the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and Congress alliance will be able to sustain itself in Jharkhand.
Or will this political instability be a positive sign for the BJP government in the upcoming elections in the state? We are yet to experience.

In December, Alexei Navalny was transferred to the Arctic prison, which is known for its harsh and protracted winters.
One of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s sharpest opponents, Alexei Navalny, passed away in an Arctic prison colony while serving a 19-year sentence.
The Russian Federal Penitentiary Service confirmed his death, stating that Navalny became ill following a stroll on Friday and passed out at the prison colony.
Situated in the town of Kharp, in the Yamalo-Nenets region, some 1,900 km northeast of Moscow, the prison is well-known for its harsh and protracted winters. In December, Navalny—who was condemned on accusations of extremism—was relocated here.
For the first time, Navalny was seen via a video link from Kharp on January 10. Images of him with a buzz cut and dressed in black jail clothes are released by Russian news agencies.
Speaking before the Moscow Supreme Court, Navalny detailed the inhumane conditions that existed at the prison situated above the Arctic Circle.
Joking about the bitter cold, Navalny enquired as to whether or not officials at his previous prison had thrown a party for him upon his relocation. He further informed the court that prisoners are only allowed to eat for ten minutes at a time.
He told the justice of the Supreme Court, “It is impossible to eat in ten minutes,” according to CNN.”Eating within 10 minutes of each other every day makes this meal a fairly complicated process.”
He claimed that due to a small offence, jail officials had placed him in an isolation cell.
He remarked, “The punishment cell is often a very cold place.” Know why individuals select a newspaper there? to shield oneself. For example, I can assure you, judges, that sleeping with a newspaper makes it considerably warmer than sleeping without one. Therefore, a newspaper is necessary to prevent freezing.
Navalny said that he is only allowed a certain amount of religious literature due to restrictions from the prison officials.
I am permitted to hold ten books, according to the restrictions. I require two books in order to follow my faith. For me, one book is insufficient, as it infringes upon my religious rights.
“I want to have ten books in my cell,” he continued. They are necessary for both my religious and educational practices.

After the deaths of two Kuki protestors and the injuries of numerous others due to police shooting during crowd disturbances in Churachandpur district, Manipur, the Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF), a Kuki-led organisation, demanded on Friday that the DC and SP leave the district, which is predominantly Kuki, within a day.
The ITLF threatened to shut down all district government offices if the DC and the SP did not leave, accusing them of being accountable for the disturbances and resulting firing by the security forces. “Any unfortunate incidents that may come up on them will be the responsibility of both the DC and the SP.” After an emergency meeting on Friday morning, the ITLF released a statement stating that the DC and SP should be replaced by Union Territory cadres, preferably from the Kuki-Zo community.
An angry crowd stormed the offices of the SP and DC on Thursday night, demanding that the suspension of a police constable be lifted. According to the ITLF statement, two people and at least twenty-five others were hurt by gunfire from the police. The group of 300 to 400 individuals attempted to storm the SP office on Thursday night, throwing stones at it, according to Manipur police. This prompted the security forces to use tear gas shells. The crowds refused to disperse despite the security forces’ requests, so members of the Rapid Action Force were called into action.
The crowd gathered at approximately 7:00 p.m. to voice their opposition to the suspension of Kuki constable Siamlalpaul, who was reportedly caught on camera posing for a picture with armed Kuki men.
After a head constable’s video was posted on social media on Wednesday, the police intervened. He was allegedly posed with “village volunteers,” however, who were protecting the Kuki villages from the Meitei miscreants’ persistent attacks. The ITLF claimed that the administration didn’t take action towards the Meitei police officers who were frequently spotted in photos and videos posing with armed Meitei groups such as Arambai Tenggol.
“The SP Shivanand Surve and DC S Dharun Kumar turned out to be key instruments inserted by the communal Chief Minister N Biren Singh to create problems in the hill district of Lamka,” claimed the ITLF.
“All security force members who fired civilians should be held under investigation and subject to legal repercussions. The group went on, “Our MLAs ought to be involved in the matter and bring up all the concerns with the government.” The Manipur government put restrictions back on mobile and broadband internet usage in Churachandpur for the following five days as the situation became volatile in an attempt to stop things from getting worse.
In a park in the Purba Medinipur district on Wednesday, a 35-year-old man was seen dancing with his wife’s head after he was accused of killing her, according to police. They added that the man in question, Gautam Guchhait, is a resident of Patashpur’s Chistipur village in the Purba Medinipur district. It should be noted that in 2021, Guchhait leapt into a lion’s enclosure inside Alipore Zoo in Kolkata.
Residents of Chistipur reported to police that they saw Guchhait sitting on a park bench and dancing with his head severed on Wednesday morning. He spent nearly half an hour sitting on the bench. The police were notified by the locals, who were too terrified to capture him. “We hurried over and took him into custody,” the police said.
The man was reportedly thought to be mentally ill as well. According to the police, his wife Fulrani’s (27) dead body was sent for a post-mortem investigation.
Following the incident, Guchhait was taken into custody, according to Purba Medinipur Superintendent of Police Soumyadwip Bhattacharya. “Both the body and the severed head were sent for postmortem analysis. Only after a thorough investigation will we be able to determine the reason behind the murder. We believe that a family dispute may have been the catalyst for the murder, at least initially,” says the SP.
Entered the lion’s enclosure in the Alipore Zoo in 2021
Guchhait was hurt on March 18, 2021, when he leapt into a lion’s enclosure at the Alipore Zoo, injuring his right leg, shoulders, and waist.
Witnesses claimed that Guchait purchased a zoo ticket, and then proceeded to explore the area before coming to a stop close to of the lion exhibit. He climbed the perimeter wall and cleared two mesh fences at eleven in the morning. As soon as witnesses raised an alarm, zoo officials saved him from the lion’s attempt to drag him inside its cage.
