Why was the speaker of the House removed? Because this old motion was invoked
California Rep. Kevin McCarthy has been removed as House speaker, marking the first time in U.S. history that a speaker has been ousted through a motion to vacate. This procedural move, rarely invoked, was last used in 1910 against Speaker Joseph Cannon. McCarthy's removal follows his earlier unprecedented struggle to secure the speakership, requiring 15 rounds of votes. The instability within the Republican Party, highlighted by this event, mirrors past internal conflicts but occurs in a more volatile political climate. The motion to vacate, once a rare procedural step, may become more common in future U.S. politics.

Cong’s dismal show in assembly polls in sharp focus in I.N.D.I.A meet
The Congress party's poor performance in recent assembly elections was a key focus in the fourth meeting of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (I.N.D.I.A) held in Delhi. The 28-party alliance discussed the challenges Congress faces in states where smaller parties hold power, leading to reduced bargaining power for Congress. The alliance partners decided that the Prime Ministerial candidate would be chosen by the MPs elected in the 2024 general election, indicating a lack of consensus on a unified candidate to challenge Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rahul Gandhi has stated he is not in the running for PM. Seat adjustment concerns were raised by several parties, including the Aam Aadmi Party, Samajwadi Party, and Rashtriya Janata Dal. The alliance plans to hold public meetings and protests to increase recognition and address the suspension of Opposition MPs.
