Modi should resign, not wait to be pushed out: Subramanian Swamy
New Delhi: Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has called for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to step down after the party fell short of an outright majority in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In a tweet posted after the vote counting, Swamy criticized the leadership, suggesting that any self-respecting leader would resign under such circumstances.
"Modi must step aside since BJP led by him fell below the majority of 272 at or around 240. Any self-respecting leader would resign and not wait to be pushed out," Swamy tweeted.
The BJP, which led the NDA, managed to secure approximately 240 seats, falling short of the 272 seats required for a majority. This outcome has led to political uncertainty regarding the formation of a stable government, with the BJP likely needing to rely on support from key allies such as Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar.
Swamy's comments add to the growing internal and external pressures facing the BJP. Recently, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut also criticized the BJP, questioning its ability to form a stable government and asserting that the BJP's reliance on alliances made it vulnerable to collapse.

Patna (PTI): Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday announced that the state government would soon constitute a 'Safai Karmachari Commission' for the socio-economic upliftment of sanitation workers.
He announced the decision in a post on X.
"I am pleased to inform that I have directed the department to constitute the Bihar State Safai Karmachari Commission to ensure the protection, welfare, rehabilitation, social upliftment, grievance redressal, and monitoring of various welfare schemes for the rights and interests of sanitation workers in Bihar," the chief minister said.
This commission will provide suggestions related to the interests of sanitation workers, advise the government on the protection of their rights, and take appropriate action to review and implement welfare schemes related to those engaged in sanitation work, he added.
"The Bihar State Safai Karmachari Commission will consist of one chairperson, one vice-chairperson, and five members, including one woman/transgender. This commission will play a significant role in integrating the deprived sections of society engaged in sanitation work into the mainstream and contributing to their social and economic development," Kumar added.
Assembly elections are due in the state later this year.
