The civic elections were held for six Nagar Palikas and 13 Nagar Parishads. Yet, they were very significant, since those polls were held in tribal areas. It has been a litmus test for the ruling BJP as well as the Congress. The outcome of the polls indicated that there would be a tough fight between the two arch rivals in the Assembly elec- tions to be held later. Nevertheless, the Congress registered one-sided victory in the civic polls before the 2018 state polls. The results indicate that the Congress's influence in the tribal areas is waning. Ergo, the civic elections have jolted several senior Congress leaders. The outcome also shows that the road to the assembly elections will not be easy for former minister Bala Bachchan, Hiralal Alawa and ex-minister Surendra Singh Baghel. On the other hand, the results have made it clear that the BJP will face a tough challenge from its rival.

Judges don't face elections or public scrutiny: Rijiju In the latest, amid the ongoing row between Centre and judiciary over appointment of judges, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday said judges do not contest elections or face public scrutiny . Addressing an event of the Delhi Bar Association, Rijiju, in Hindi, said: "Every citizen asks questions to the government and questions should be asked. If the public would not ask questions to the elected government, then who would they ask questions to... we do not step away from questions, we face it because we are elected representatives." Rijiju said he had participated in many events which include Supreme Court Chief Justice and Supreme Court judges and high courts, even there he had emphasised that today he is working as Law Minister but tomorrow if people do not elect his government, then they would sit in the Opposition, and they will question the ruling government. "But, when a judge becomes a judge, he does not have to face an election. There is also no public scrutiny for judges. That is why I say people do , not elect judges and this is why the public cannot change judges. But people are watching you. Your judgment and the working of judges and the way judges dispense justice, people are watching it and assess... They form opinions. In the age of social media, nothing can be hidden," he said to loud applause. He further added that the Chief Justice had sought his help in connection with the abuse judges face on social media. "How to control that? Now, judges cannot respond to it on social media. The government was requested to take a firm step... I have taken note of it," he added. Rijiju has been vocal in the criticism of the collegium system for appointment of judges, and even termed it alien to the Constitution. JABALPUR: A 43-year-old Colonel allegedly committed suicide by hanging at a training centre in Jabalpur, . police said on Monday The body of Colonel Nishith Khanna, posted as Commanding Officer in the 1-Technical Training Regiment (TTR), was found hanging from a ceiling fan in a room of the officers' mess in the One Signal Training Centre at around 10.30 pm on Sunday, CSP Priyanka Shukla said. Police found a suicide note purportedly written by the deceased Army officer stating he was "sorry". The preliminary investigation suggested a family dispute could be the reason behind Colonel Khanna taking the extreme step, the CSP said. The deceased Army officer was staying away from his family, which included his wife, son and daughter, since October 25, 2022, she said. Colonel Khanna's family was residing in the officers' enclave, the police officer said.
