New Delhi: Lieutenant Governor of Delhi V.K. Without naming Arvind Kejriwal, Saxena has quipped that some people remain illiterate despite having an IIT degree. Saxena made this statement when Kejriwal is constantly questioning the authenticity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's degree. Saxena was asked whether AAP is constantly questioning Modi's degree.

NCP splits alliance with BJP

With Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar suddenly taking a soft stance towards Narendra Modi and the BJP, speculation has started that the NCP will join the NDA before the Lok Sabha elections. Ajit favored Modi on the issue of Modi's degree raised by Kejriwal. After that Sharad Pawar defended Adani. Congress has been overwhelmed. Pawar favored setting up a Supreme Court committee instead of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Adani issue.

Now Ajit Pawar has again supported Modi and said that in the name of Narendra Modi, BJP came to power in 2014 election with majority and has succeeded in reaching the remote areas of Gash. When Modi has won the BJP twice in a row, now the issue of Modi's degree is not important.

Ajith has also clarified that there is no question of severing ties with Uddhav Thackeray, but analysts believe that the uncle-nephew's interest in Modi is not unreasonable.

The pilot's hunger strike has caused another uproar in the Congress

Sachin Pilot has once again created an uproar in the Congress by announcing a fast against the Ashok Gehlot government's failure to take action against corruption in the BJP regime. It is clear that a new fight has started in the Congress due to Sachin's attacks on Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot in a press conference.

The pilot group, which drew its sword eight months before the assembly elections, has added to the woes of the Congress and the government. However, most of the Congress leaders are validating the pilot issue. According to him, Gehlot and Vasundhara Raje are involved in match fixing.

During the tenure of Vasundhara Raje from 2003 to 2008, the Congress made many allegations of scam. In 2009, when Gehlot became the Chief Minister for the second time, he set up the Mathur Commission to investigate the scams of BJP rule, but nothing happened. After that, even in the mining scam raised by the Congress during Vasundhara's regime, the pilot seems to be right as nothing happened.

Sibal was active at the center of opposition unity

Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, Kapil Sibal has been active in putting his 'Insaaf Ke Sipahi' website at the center of Opposition unity. Sibal launched this website in March.

Sibal urged his fellow lawyers and non-BJP chief ministers to raise their voices against injustice through the website.

Now he has requested to use his platform for opposition unity. Kapil Sibal requested all the oppositions opposing the central government to create a platform to get their point across to the people. It was also rumored that this platform could also be an 'Insaaf Ke Sipahi' website.

Sibal's proposal is considered positive by political analysts. According to him, the opposition needs unity and a social media platform to fight the BJP. Apart from that BJP cannot be confronted.

Punished for joining BJP, asked to roam the streets

The BJP has claimed that three tribal women who had joined the BJP in West Bengal were taken in by the Trinamool Congress after they were marched for a kilometer on the ground and bowed down. The BJP has also gone viral in a video in which three tribal women are seen performing dandavat on the road. BJP alleges that these women joined BJP. As a punishment for this, women were asked to do dandavat by dancing on the road in public. Trinamool Congress says that women were not forced. Women have said that they have made the biggest mistake of their life by joining BJP. Women have done public penance to atone for this mistake.

The BJP is using this issue to brand the Trinamool Congress as anti-tribal. The BJP has also announced to file a complaint in the Women's Commission. BJP state president Sukant Majumdar has termed the incident as an insult to the tribals and has called upon the tribal community to protest against the Trinamool Congress.

Opposition to Election Commission's RVM programme

The Election Commission has come up with a plan to allow people in remote areas to vote with Remote Voting Machines (RVMs) to increase voting percentage, but the opposition has not liked this plan. All political parties have opposed the Election Commission's proposal to use specially designed remote voting machines. With the help of RVM, people living outside their constituency will also be able to vote from outside.

Sources in the Election Commission claim that most of the parties have expressed disagreement over the plan. He believes that by facilitating polling from outside in this way, confusion will increase in polling. When the Election Commission first floated the proposal in December, most political parties opposed it.

According to sources in the commission, around 300 crore voters are unable to vote in the Lok Sabha elections due to living abroad. The solution to this problem is RVM but the proposal is unlikely to be implemented quickly due to opposition from political parties.

Pawar may have a different opinion on the Adani issue

Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal said that the fact that Sharad Pawar and Rahul Gandhi have different views and beliefs about Gautam Adani's alleged misdeeds does not mean that there is no unity in the opposition.

There may be differences among political parties but if seen from a larger perspective, the chances of consensus increase. Sibal added, "If you have a broad and inclusive platform that doesn't value small things, the chances of consensus go up." Sibal left the Congress party last year and became an independent.
