The 29-member society of the Prime Minister Museum and Library (erstwhile Nehru Memorial Museum & Library) headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as its president has got a temporary extension until January 13, 2025, coinciding with the term of the PMML Executive Council whose chairperson is Nripendra Misra. The five-year term of the society ended on November 5. In November 2019, the government had reconstituted the NMML society, removing Congress’s Mallikarjun Kharge, Jairam Ramesh and Karan Singh as its members, and inducting, among others, TV journalist Rajat Sharma and adman Prasoon Joshi.
‘Invite’ Of Woes
There seems to be no end to YSRCP’s woes since its defeat in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly and Lok Sabha elections earlier this year. The latest in the series is talks of its Rajya Sabha MP Vijaysai Reddy getting an “invitation” to join the BJP. While the MP has not made any comment on the issue, his party colleague and Lok Sabha MP Mithun Reddy rubbished it as a rumour, saying: “He is family for the YSRCP. He will never join any other party.”
