Not surprised by attack on monks in politically-violent Bengal: Assam CM Himanta

Saturday, 13 January 2024
Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said that he was not astonished over the attack on 'sadhus' (monks) in the politically charged environment of West Bengal. Allegedly, a mob attacked three monks en route to Gangasagar Mela in Purulia district, suspecting them of being "kidnappers in disguise." Purulia Police, however, asserted that the incident resulted from a misunderstanding between the monks and three girls due to language barriers, dismissing any communal implications in the event. Sarma also mocked Rahul Gandhi's upcoming 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' as 'anyay yatra' (rally of injustice).

Maharashtra Election Results: Adani and Dharavi Issues Fail in MH Election | Mahayuti | BJP | [Video]

Maharashtra Election Results: Adani and Dharavi Issues Fail in MH Election | Mahayuti | BJP |

In the Maharashtra elections, the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is emerging as a strong winner. Despite the heated debate around the Dharavi issue and Adani's involvement, these topics did not resonate with voters. High-profile leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Uddhav Thackeray, and Aditya Thackeray raised various allegations, but these issues failed to sway the electorate in the way they were expected to. With the Mahayuti securing a significant victory, the political landscape of Maharashtra remains firmly in the hands of the BJP and its allies. #MaharashtraElectionResult #MaharashtraElection2024 #ElectionResultLive #MaharashtraElectionResults2024 #AssemblyElectionResults #MaharashtraAssemblyElectionResult #LiveElectionResult #MaharashtraResultsLive #ElectionResults2024 #MaharashtraPolls2024 #LiveResultsMaharashtra #MaharashtraAssemblyResults #ElectionResultUpdates #MaharashtraVotes2024 #AssemblyPollsResults ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.336~GR.122~
