公明党が自民党との連立政権からの離脱を決めたことで、自民党に対する企業・団体献金の規制強化を求める圧力は一層高まる見込みです。
特に、献金の受け皿制限を主張する公明党の案に対し、これまで献金禁止を目指してきた立憲民主党も歩み寄りを見せています。
こうした動きによって、自民党は「政治とカネ」の問題で孤立を深めつつあり、今後の政治情勢に注目が集まっています。

### ふるさと納税交付税減額訴訟判決の概要
ふるさと納税で多額の寄付を得た自治体に対し、国が特別交付税を減額した決定について、大阪高等裁判所は2025年10月9日、「違法で無効」との判断を示しました。
この判決は、ふるさと納税によって自治体間で寄付金獲得の競争が激化し、その結果として国が自治体の交付税を減額することについて法的な制限があることを明らかにしたものです。
—
### 寄付競争とルール違反の状況
ふるさと納税制度が創設されて以来、各自治体は魅力ある返礼品やキャンペーンを打ち出し、寄付額の増加を目指して激しい争いを繰り広げてきました。
しかし、その中には制度の趣旨やルールを逸脱する事例も多く、過剰な返礼品競争や不適切な寄付勧誘が問題視されています。これに対し、国は特別交付税の減額措置を通じて自治体の「歯止め」としようとしました。
—
### 判決の意義と今後の課題
大阪高裁の判決は、国の減額措置が法的根拠を欠くことを指摘し、自治体の権利を守る判断となりました。一方で、制度の乱れや過熱した競争を抑制する有効な手段を模索しなければならない現実も浮き彫りになっています。
この「いたちごっこ」の状況は、結果的に地域の活性化という本来の目的が置き去りにされているとの指摘もあります。今後は、自治体間の健全な競争と地域振興を両立させる仕組みづくりが求められています。

**FDA Uncovers Counterfeit Allopathy and Ayurvedic Medicines in Pune Amid Nationwide Concern**
Amid growing nationwide concerns over counterfeit medicines, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has uncovered a shocking case in Pune involving fake allopathy and Ayurvedic medicines being supplied in the market.
In a disturbing revelation, paracetamol was reportedly being sold under the label of azithromycin, a widely used antibiotic. The FDA’s inspection further revealed adulteration not only in antibiotics but also among tablets used to control blood pressure and diabetes.
### Major Raids and Seizures
Between April and September, the FDA conducted raids that led to the seizure of counterfeit medicines worth ₹61.67 lakh from two manufacturers — an allopathy company based in Shikrapur and an Ayurvedic firm in Thane.
From the Shikrapur unit alone, fake azithromycin tablets along with adulterated medicines for diabetes and hypertension, valued at ₹55.62 lakh, were confiscated. Additionally, Ayurvedic medicines worth ₹6.05 lakh were seized during a separate operation.
“In the Pune division, we regularly inspect 66 manufacturers and sellers. Action has been taken against two companies between April and September this year, and samples from 15 locations were tested,” said Girish Hukre, Joint Commissioner, FDA, Pune Division.
### Public Health Concerns
Authorities confirmed that the Shikrapur-based company had supplied azithromycin tablets to certain municipal hospitals in Pune, raising serious concerns about patient safety. Cases have been registered against both manufacturers, and further investigations are ongoing.
Medical experts and pharmacists have demanded that the administration tighten surveillance measures to prevent counterfeit medicines from entering the city’s supply chain. Meanwhile, some drug dealers have questioned how many vendors had their licenses revoked for selling such fake products.
### Context: Rising Deaths Linked to Contaminated Medicines
These revelations come in the wake of several child deaths in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan linked to contaminated cough syrup. Following these tragic incidents, the FDA has intensified checks on cough syrups across the Pune division.
As a result, many local drug dealers have already stopped selling syrups from the suspected companies.
### Government Response and Future Measures
Health Minister Prakash Abitkar assured the public that strict action will be taken against those involved in manufacturing and supplying counterfeit medicines. He stated, “A Drug Detection Machine will soon be deployed across the state to ensure the quality of medicines. Government hospital supplies must match the quality standards of private institutions.”
Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has issued an advisory recommending that cough syrups should not be given to children under two years of age, as the chemicals may not break down properly in their bodies and could have toxic effects. The advisory also cautions against administering such syrups to children under five years old, who are prone to adverse side effects.

**Maharashtra Government Launches Major Rooftop Solar Subsidy Scheme for Low-Income Households**
Mumbai: In a significant move to promote clean energy and reduce electricity costs for disadvantaged families, the Maharashtra government has introduced the Swayampurna Maharashtra Residential Roof Top (SMART) Solar Scheme. This ambitious initiative aims to provide a substantial subsidy of 90 to 95 percent for eligible consumers to install rooftop solar panels, helping them cut their power bills to nearly zero by harnessing solar energy.
### Who Will Benefit from the Scheme?
The SMART Solar Scheme primarily targets Below Poverty Line (BPL), Scheduled Caste (SC), and Scheduled Tribe (ST) households that consume less than 100 units of electricity per month. Under this program, these families will pay only a small fraction of the installation cost, with the central and state governments covering the rest.
For instance, the cost of a 1KW solar system is approximately Rs 50,000. Here’s how the subsidy breaks down:
– **BPL Households:** Central government subsidy of Rs 30,000 + State government subsidy of Rs 17,500, with the consumer paying just Rs 2,500.
– **SC/ST Households:** Total subsidy of Rs 45,000, leaving the consumer responsible for Rs 5,000.
– **Other Low-Usage Consumers (below 100 units, not BPL/SC/ST):** Subsidy of Rs 40,000, with a consumer contribution of Rs 10,000.
### Budget and Implementation Plans
The Maharashtra government has allocated Rs 330 crore for the financial year 2025–26 and Rs 325 crore for 2026–27 to support this scheme. Implementation will be handled by the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), funded through the state budget.
Officials expect the scheme to benefit at least 5 lakh families, including approximately 1.5 lakh BPL users and 3.5 lakh other low-usage households. After installation, the solar system supplier will manage maintenance for a period of five years, ensuring hassle-free operation for beneficiaries.
### Priority for Remote and Needy Areas
Special emphasis will be placed on remote and tribal regions such as Melghat, Nandurbar, and Gadchiroli, where affordable electricity access remains a challenge. The government hopes that by promoting rooftop solar power in these areas, not only will families receive inexpensive and reliable electricity, but they may also generate additional income by selling surplus solar energy back to the grid.
This initiative marks a critical step toward sustainable energy adoption and economic upliftment for some of Maharashtra’s most vulnerable communities.
