BJP leader Daya Shankar Singh addresses the media in Ballia regarding his remarks on BSP chief Mayawati.
While 16 opposition parties issued a joint statement announcing their decision to boycott the President's address, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) also separately announced their decision to boycott the address.
Sonia Gandhi, the Congress interim President, also managed a coup of sorts by ensuring not just the participation of the Trinamool Congress but also of Mamata Banerjee herself, despite the presence of Left leaders Sitaram Yechury and D. Raja in the discussion, writes Puneet Nicholas Yadav.
Addressing a press conference at the Samajwadi Party (SP) headquarters, Akhilesh Yadav said, 'Be it the NPR or the NRC, these are against the poor people, minorities and Muslims of the country.'
The Supreme Court on Tuesday recalled its direction in the March 20, 2018 verdict which had virtually diluted provisions of arrest under the SC/ST Act.
Mayawati's decision had raised doubts about the sustainability of her party's alliance with SP, barely 10 days after the BJP handed them a huge defeat in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections.
On Monday, addressing a meeting in New Delhi, Mayawati conveyed to party leaders that the grand coalition hadn't yielded the BSP desired results, and the SP had failed to get Yadav votes transferred to her party candidates.
After suffering massive setbacks in the Lok Sabha elections 2019, BSP and SP have parted ways but till they can expand their base among the marginalised communities, BJP will not be threatened in Uttar Pradesh
In the 2013 state assembly polls, the Congress had secured 40.3 per cent of the vote share and 39 seats, which was not far from the BJP’s 41.18 per cent and 49 seats.
It’s a dress rehearsal for the big contest in 2019. Bypolls to two Lok Sabha seats in UP offer a chance to test the feasibility of a Bihar-style ‘grand alliance’ against the BJP. But can it work?
