Praveen Khandelwal Questions Hemant Sorens Official Residence Plans

New Delhi, March 7: BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal has raised concerns regarding the proposed official residence for Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, which is estimated to cost ₹100 crores. He emphasized the necessity for clear rules and standards for government residences and offices for all chief ministers and ministers.

Khandelwal stated, “It is essential to have an official residence or office to fulfill our daily responsibilities and duties. However, the specifications for such residences and offices must be clearly defined.”

He accused Soren of following in the footsteps of Arvind Kejriwal, who previously constructed a lavish residence in Delhi. Khandelwal insisted that the government should establish a transparent policy regarding such matters. “I believe a policy should be created, and certain criteria must be established. The rules should be uniform for all, whether they are chief ministers or ministers,” he added.

He warned that without such regulations, there is a risk of misusing public funds. Money intended for public development could be diverted for personal gain. Therefore, clear guidelines are crucial.

On another note, Khandelwal also responded to the opposition’s proposed no-confidence motion against the Lok Sabha Speaker. He remarked that according to parliamentary rules, such a motion can only be introduced with the presiding officer’s permission and subsequent discussion.

Khandelwal asserted that the motion would not succeed, stating, “It is clear that this proposal will fail miserably, and the Congress and other opposition parties will realize their true standing, as this proposal lacks any logical basis.”

Additionally, he made sharp comments regarding West Bengal politics, reflecting on the mentality and political culture displayed by Kalyan Banerjee. Khandelwal remarked, “This reflects Kalyan Banerjee’s culture and mindset. Not only Kalyan Banerjee but also Mamata Banerjee’s government operates in a similar manner in West Bengal.”

He alleged that BJP workers in West Bengal face violence, indicating a weakening of democracy in the state.

Khandelwal also commented on the recent elections in Nepal, expressing hope for the formation of a democratic government that will strengthen ties with India. He stated, “Nepal and India are naturally long-standing friends. It is expected that whichever government is formed will enhance relations with India.”

He added that India has consistently supported Nepal, and in today’s global scenario, cooperation with neighboring countries is vital. He expressed confidence that the new government in Nepal will further solidify its relationship with India.
