Mariyam Alavi With Sreenivasan Jain

Action by Central agencies against the BJP government's rivals and critics has witnessed a massive spike since the BJP-led government came to power in 2014, an NDTV analysis has found.

In Panjim, Goa's capital, 73-year-old Fatima Alvares says that despite her age, she has always been an independent woman. "But now with the curfew and with my age, I can't do anything... I am completely handicapped now," she says.

The government could pay up to Rs 19,000 crore to about 9.5 crore voters through their flagship PM-KISAN scheme in the run-up to the general elections, with the possibility of over Rs 13,300 crore being transferred to beneficiaries even when the election code is in force, NDTV has found.

Amid a swirling debate over unemployment in India ahead of general elections next month, a recently released survey by top industry body, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), which reported a surge in job creation in India's small businesses, found favour with the government.

Letters and emailspurportedly recovered from activists arrested by Pune police for Maoist links are riddled with inconsistencies and flawed assumptions, an NDTV analysis has found.
