Mamata Banerjee wants a recount, says ‘there has been a mischief played by the ECI in Nandigram’. The Election Commission is yet to officially declare the result for Nandigram.
The EC had received a complaint from Kavita Krishnan of CPI-ML which alleged that Adhikari delivered a 'hate speech' while addressing a public meeting in Nandigram on 29 March.
In Nandigram's Boyal area, villagers alleged that BJP supporters stopped them from going to polling booths. As soon as Banerjee reached Boyal, BJP supporters chanted 'Jai Shri Ram' slogans.
In interview to ThePrint, BJP's Nandigram candidate Suvendu Adhikari, once a close Mamata aide, says people have lost faith in her, claims she only played appeasement politics.
The population of Nandigram, one of 16 assembly constituencies in East Midnapore, is 34 per cent Muslim. The figure is below 20 per cent in the remaining constituencies.
Kanthi MP Sisir Adhikari met Union MoS Mansukh Mandaviya Saturday and there’s speculation he could be present at Shah’s Sunday rally in Egra, Purba Medinipur.
Nandigram assembly constituency is set for a high-octane battle with the TMC supremo contesting from the seat against Suvendu Adhikari, who recently switched over to the BJP.
BJP has announced Suvendu Adhikari as its Nandigram candidate, pitting the protégé against mentor Mamata in a poll battle that experts say will be a ‘war for political existence’.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
PTC Industries is investing Rs 1,000 cr in 4 manufacturing plants in UP, has already started supplying titanium parts to BAE Systems for its M-777 howitzers that India also uses.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
