The has been accused of presiding over "disgraceful" waits in temporary after figures revealed people are waiting years for a permeant home. A freedom of information (FOI) request by the Scottish found one person in Argyll and Bute has waited 13 years in temporary accommodation. The data shows one child in Edinburgh has been waiting seven years for a permanent house, while an adult in the capital has waited nearly eight years. Meanwhile, a child in Fife has been waiting more than four years in temporary housing. The longest wait for an adult in West Dunbartonshire is more than three years. East Lothian had the longest average waits of any local authority at 342 days, the FOI found, followed by Shetland at 314 and Edinburgh at an average of 214. The capital had the most people living in temporary housing of any council at 5,425 followed by Glasgow at 2,668. Tory housing spokesman Meghan Gallacher said the state of temporary accommodation in Scotland is "appalling" and should "shame" the SNP. She accused ministers of being "detached from reality" and urged for a change of direction to solve Scotland's housing crisis. The Scottish Government declared a national housing emergency earlier this year while at least a dozen councils have also declared one. Ms Gallacher said: "These waits are an absolute disgrace. They should shame an SNP Government whose inaction has resulted in a national housing emergency. "Nobody should be spending years languishing in temporary accommodation, yet that is what kids and adults alike are suffering on the SNP's watch. "It is scarcely believable that someone was stuck without somewhere to call home for 13 years or a child suffered for over seven years in temporary accommodation which is often unacceptable to live in. "SNP ministers continue to be detached from the reality facing far too many people and just don't get it." The Central Scotland MSP said the figures should be a "wake-up call" and urged the Scottish Government to "ditch their current housing policies and accept they are not working". She added: "Instead, they should urgently outline a plan to deliver the homes Scotland needs and reduce the numbers facing the huge uncertainty of temporary accommodation. Housing minister Paul McLennan said: "The Scottish Government is determined to reduce the use of temporary accommodation and ensure that it is indeed temporary. "The key to that is increasing housing stock and we have a strong track record by supporting the delivery of more than 133,000 affordable homes since 2007, with more than 94,000 of those being for social rent, 45% more affordable homes per head of population than in England and 70% more than in Wales. "We continue to build on that record with almost £600 million of investment this year plus an additional £80 million over the next two years to ease the pressure on temporary accommodation by increasing the availability of affordable homes through acquisitions and bringing long-term empty council properties back into use. "In 2024-25, we are providing local authorities with more than £14 billion to deliver a range of services including homelessness. "This includes an annual share of £30.5 million for homelessness prevention measures, an annual share of £8 million to support the implementation of rapid rehousing transition plans and an additional £2 million to local authorities facing the most sustained temporary accommodation pressures. "The aim of rapid rehousing is to reduce the use of temporary accommodation by moving people into settled accommodation as quickly as possible."

Rather, it reflects a pragmatic recognition that lasting peace in Syria can only be achieved through inclusive dialogue and negotiation. By opening channels of communication with a broad spectrum of actors, the United States hopes to foster a conducive environment for constructive dialogue and ultimately pave the way for a political transition that reflects the will and aspirations of the Syrian people.

The coalition, comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena ( Eknath Shinde faction), and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction), delivered a major blow to the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), which managed to secure only 50 seats. This victory marks a sharp turnaround for the BJP and its allies, who did not perform well in the Lok Sabha elections held just a few months earlier. So, what were the factors that turned things around for the Mahayuti? BJP gives all credit to its "organisational strength", and at least five factors that ensured this success. Assembly Election Results 2024: FULL COVERAGE 1. Good Coordination Within Mahayuti The Mahayuti’s victory is seen as the result of extensive "micro-level planning" and a re-calibrated strategy following its General Election setbacks. Speaking to ABP LIVE, party sources said Union Home Minister Amit Shah "led from the front", conducting numerous meetings across the state and galvanising the party’s grassroots, even as other senior leaders like Devendra Fadnavis, Nitin Gadkari, and Yogi Adityanath emerged key figures in the campaign, addressing major rallies and reinforcing the alliance’s unity. Unlike the LS polls, when the Opposition managed to dominate the narrative, it was the BJP that set the agenda this time. The party’s focus, the sources said, was on development, combined with targeted outreach to specific voter groups. The Mahayuti showcased a coordinated front throughout the election, with the BJP acting as a mediator during seat-sharing discussions between Shiv Sena (Shinde) and NCP (Ajit Pawar), they said, adding that this unity was reflected in their campaign, which was marketed not just as a BJP effort but as a collective push by the Mahayuti. Observers note that this cohesion allowed the alliance to project a clear and consistent message to voters, contrasting with the fragmented campaign run by the MVA. 2. Outreach To Social Groups A key factor in the Mahayuti’s success was its targeted outreach to various social groups under the "micro-planning". A special plan was crafted "to reach the last person in society", and engage every section of society. The BJP held over 250 meetings with community leaders and representatives before the code of conduct came into effect, addressing concerns raised by Dalit, OBC, and tribal communities, party insiders told ABP Live. The BJP also responded to the Maratha agitation by emphasising its previous efforts to provide reservations and economic opportunities under leadership of Devendra Fadnavis when he was the chief minister of the state from 2014-2019. "This narrative was paired with a broader message of inclusion, aimed at countering opposition allegations of neglect."

Ladki Bahin Scheme For Women The BJP leveraged welfare schemes like the "Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana" to strengthen its connection with women voters. The scheme, which promoted financial and social support for women, was accompanied by over 1,700 BJP-organised events to amplify its impact, the party sources said. 4. Development As 'Central Agenda' Development projects completed during Fadnavis’s earlier tenure as CM were a cornerstone of the Mahayuti’s campaign, which highlighted infrastructure initiatives like the Coastal Road, Metro expansions, and Samruddhi Mahamarg. Citing "surveys", the BJP sources said people chose development as the "Number 1" agenda, which helped the BJP regain lost ground". For farmers, the Mahayuti’s focus on addressing issues related to soybeans, onions, and cotton resonated in rural areas, they claimed, adding that promises of higher MSPs, removal of export bans, and direct financial assistance to 65 lakh farmers helped create a favourable environment in regions where the alliance had struggled previously. 5. Controlling 'Fake Narratives' The BJP believes it lost the Lok Sabha elections due to "fake narratives", but they were ready this time to give "a strong response to all such narratives". The BJP sources claimed they effectively countered the MVA’s "communal narratives", particularly the "fatwa issued by Sajjad Nomani of the Muslim Personal Law Board urging one-sided voting". Fadnavis showcased the video in rallies, which amplified PM Modi’s "Ek hai to safe hai (One is safe when together)" message. The sources said Congress had also tried to spread "fake narratives about constitutional changes among Dalit and tribal communities", but the BJP responded with "constitutional awareness campaigns, including the 'Constitution Respect Yatra', focusing on the Buddhist and Matang communities". Tribal leaders were called from across the country to Maharashtra, who urged the tribal community to stand with the BJP. This yielded positive results, said the sources, adding that the BJP also engaged the OBC community, securing their support.
