Opposition  

With four-five months to go for assembly polls in West Bengal, the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are leaving no stone unturned to woo voters. The farmers from whose house BJP chief JP Nadda had collected rice during his visit to Burdwan on Saturday (January 9), has appeared at the TMC office on Sunday (January 10). Trinamool claims that those 5 farmers are members of their party.

In a move that is being viewed as an act of vendetta by the opposition in Maharashtra, the state government has slashed the security cover of Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis and other BJP leaders. Among those whose security cover has been totally removed include BJP leaders like state BJP chief Chandrakant Patil, Sudhir Mungantiwar, Ram Kadam and Narayan Rane.

The whole country is in opposition to the Centre’s three agricultural laws. Farmers have been protesting on the North India border for 44 days. They are still adamant in demanding the repeal of the agricultural law. In this situation, BJP's all-India president JP Nadda came to Bengal and questioned the agricultural law in favour of the farmers.
 

“This "overwhelming" mandate in favour of the BJP against some Opposition parties' politics of "lies and hypocrisy" shows people's trust in the leadership of Modi and Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa,” Rajeev Chandrasekhar said.

As the BJP government has sent an ordinance on anti-cow slaughter ban, following the agitation by the Opposition, former CM Siddaramaiah has said that it's his wish to eat beef and the BJP should not question one's food habits.
 

Narendra Modi lashed out at Mamata Banerjee-led government in West Bengal while alleging that it has "destroyed the state" and was doing politics by stopping over 70 lakh farmers of the state from getting benefits of the PM-KISAN scheme.
 

Prime Minister Modi launched a scathing counterstrike on Opposition parties that have been protesting against farm laws and claimed that those who were seeking to find political relevance were misleading farmers on agricultural reforms.

Nepal government of KP Sharma Oli has dissolved the country's Parliament.

He said the farmers who have been agitating against the three agriculture laws at Delhi borders have been misguided and reiterated that the new legislations are meant for their welfare.

This was Mumbai City FC's fourth consecutive win in the opening five matches, as they continue to stay at the top spot. Meanwhile, Chennaiyin FC suffered their second loss of the season in the opening four games, as they remain in the eighth spot.

The Karnataka government which was pitching for introducing legislation against cow slaughter, passed the bill in assembly amidst opposition. From 50,000 to 10 lakh penalty along with jail term of 3 to 7 years, if caught for the offense. 

With the farmers protesting against the Centre's new farm laws deciding to go ahead with their proposed Bharat Bandh, Opposition parties have backed the call. Talks between the farmers' unions and the central government have thus far yielded no results. Let us take a look at who is backing the nationwide strike

It's day 11 of the farmers agitation against the three farm laws passed by the Narendra Modi government, and no resolution seems to be in sight just yet.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday (December 4) said, “Anti-party activities will not be tolerated in the state and those in touch with the opposition camp are free to leave the party.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched a scathing attack at the opposition for misleading farmers over the new agriculture laws.
