right Major drugs haul being reported in Assam Drugs were 200 crow seized by Siler police in Kata district of southern Assam along with the STF. For more on this, I'm joined by my colleague Ratna Take us through the details. Well, this is perhaps one of the biggest ever drugs haul in Assam. Remember, this operation has been carried out by the Assam STF led by its chief I GP Pa Sarathi Mahanta who first got the tip off. And they were, you know, kind of following a vehicle which was coming in from, uh, Miso Ra and in that they had got heroin of 21 klos, out of which 18 KG are pure heroin. So pure heroin. The market cost at this moment is about 210 crows and usually with pure heroin. Other, uh you know, drug are mixed. So therefore the market cost of these drugs might be even more might actually cross 500 roads as well. But this was this is a big, big success for the police because this remember this heroin assignment of 21 kilogrammes were brought in containers which were concealed under breads and biscuit consignments so that, you know, ordinary checkpost would actually would not find it but because there was a tip off. Therefore our ambush was laid and this vehicle was intercepted this evening in Siler, which is in southern Assam bordering Misra. And this vehicle, you know, which was coming from mis was intercepted. It is one of the biggest drugs haul. We'll get to know the exact figure of the Caesar after the enumeration is done, but definitely 18 kilogramme which the police says is a pure heroin worth over 200 Croats. And the overall Caesar would might be even more might actually cross 500 roads, right? Very important story coming in from Sam Ratna. Thank you so much for joining us. Shifting focus now to the national capital and war of words between Delhi LG and the government has once again reignited after the Delhi LG Secretariat's letter to union Home Secretary Up has retorted, saying officers are not listening to Delhi. Government ministers and head Scots are the last resort. Remember In the letter to Union, Home Secretary LG had expressed displeasure over two issues alleging that the government in Delhi's bypassing files and not keeping the LG in the loop. Secondly, it also alleged that Delhi government in fact goes to court on every issue which is creating a false narrative for more. On this, I'm joined by my colleague Ishika Ishika take us through the key contentions from both sides. It's yet another war of words between Delhi LG and the government. Well, certainly you know the back and forth between the left and governor and in fact, you know the Delhi government continues now. In fact, the LG Secretariat has in fact, written a letter to the Union Home Ministry and in fact, this letter showcases the displeasure of the Secretariat over two issues number one by passing of the files by the Delhi government without keeping the LG Secretariat in loop and another what they What they say is that you know, the Delhi government has been going to the courts for an issue which ultimately is creating a false media narrative of the LG Secretariat. Let me tell you that in fact, the LG Secretariat in the letter has given examples. They say that the D CPCR had filed a case in the high Court for, you know, for the alleged stoppage of funds by the Delhi lieutenant governor, but in also clarifies that the LG Secretariat never stopped the funds nor an audit of the D CPCR was ordered by the LG. In fact, LG had only agreed with the proposal of audit that was in fact proposed by the WCT department of the D CPCR. Reacting to this now the Delhi government government has said that the courts are in fact the final resort that you know that is in front of them because they say that the lieutenant governor has been taking no action against the officer. Despite the repetitive complaints by the Delhi government, the Delhi government says you know that they have complained that the bureaucrats are stopping, you know the development works by obstructing the files and yet no action by the left governor has been playing against such officers to the back and forth between the left, the LC Secretariat and the Delhi government over this right. So the tussle for power in Delhi continues ishika, thank you so much for joining us with that.

The prime minister also brought up the shade Kali issue, which the BJP believes can damage the TMC in these elections. This on a day the Calcutta High Court came down strongly on the ruling dispensation in West Bengal over the sans Kalli allegations where it said assuming even one affidavit is correct, it is shameful.

We'll take a short break at this point. News and updates will continue on the other side. Stay tuned. Welcome back. Now Uttar Pradesh is the biggest battleground state Congress and Samajwadi Party, Remember, Are in Alliance over here now. What's emerged as a hurdle over the past few weeks for the Samajwadi Party is a conundrum over candidates. The party has changed at least eight candidates in the state after the initial round of announcements. The asterisk which denotes that the candidate has been changed has been appearing more than the usual this time in the Samajwadi Party's list For the locals of elections, The latest change by the Samajwadi Party is for the mere seat. When first they announced Bhanu Singh Then after the local units expressed displeasure, it was changed to Emily Atul Pradhan. And finally it is Rita Verma NSC face who filed a nomination today She will take on Arun Go who played in the TV show Ramayan three decades ago. The party faces a conundrum in other seats too. In Moradabad, two ST candidates filed nominations as P candidates Hassan and Ruhi Vera. Finally Hassan candidate was cancelled similar chaos in the key seat of Rampur, where there were suspense till the second last day before the deadline to file nominations. Achilles, other favourite Molana Moul Navi, as well as Asim Raza of Azam Khan's camp both filed the nominations. Finally, Asim Raza's nomination was cancelled and that we will now contest. The confusion is all in the family for the bad down seat first din the Yadav, Akash Yadav's cousin, was given a ticket. Then it went to Akash's uncle Shal Yadav. Now Shiv wants his son to contest the polls. A meme of Samajwadi Party has changed candidates for eight seats in Uttar Pradesh, one of which was due to the death of a sitting member of Parliament. The confusion extends even in Madhya Pradesh, where their candidate for the only seat the party is contesting in Madhya Pradesh was also changed. The ND a didn't miss the opportunity to take a dig. Bollywood confusion, confusion The founder of the the party Mu sing Yadav was known to keep a fine balance in the party, but the latest changes of candidate shows the unpreparedness of the party ahead of the crucial looks about elections. Now the question is whether the confusion will spill over to the next phases as well, or will a be able to keep his house in order with cameraperson vend Kumar Seni Punjabi for ND TV time for a special election segment on ND TV. The biggest phases the biggest phases of biggest phase Just a fortnight to go for the first phase of polls in the upcoming locals of elections and here on ND TV, we are going to feature some of the top candidates in this phase. Today, NDT V's Maria Shakil spoke to B JP S pick to replace Farran Gandhi and Pilip Jitin Prasad Jitin Prasad says that B JP is aiming to win 50% of the vote share Jan Prasad, Appreciate your time. This is a constituency which has been won by the B JP multiple times in the past. It was represented by war Gandhi The party has chosen not to field him. You are now the B JP candidate How are you looking at this battle? No, this has been a VP constituency as well. And, um now that, uh, we're going for election and it's only about 10 days left, you can see that there is a strong current for the Prime Minister, Marine Modi, and you will see that in the first phase that goes for elections, not only the first cross, I can tell you for sure that the BJP is sweeping in all seats. Tell me how much of a yogi factor is at play in these 80 seats of Uttar Pradesh. Since you are campaigning and I can see you in a campaign trail. At the moment there is a double engine there. There's a there's a double engine working where, uh, you have a double engine government where the centre of Prime Minister Nureen Morii and Yogi Na in the state, and people are very happy with the policies programmes which transcended down to the last mile and you can see beneficiaries in the rural areas. And I'm actually travelling from village to village and people are giving a great response. OK, let's talk about the Sami Karan or the new arithmetic that is there. In Uttar Pradesh, Congress and the Samajwadi Party are contested in Alliance. My BSP is going alone, very different from what it was in 2019, when your numbers the BJP numbers went down because of SP BSP Alliance is that giving you confidence that you will be perhaps able to reach the BJP will be perhaps able to reach the 2014 number when it won 71 of 80 seats. Whatever I have figured out, the BJP already plans for 50% and above world share, so irrespective of whatever combination that gets formed against it, it's not going to work. And that happened the last time. Also in up where you had a formidable alliance of Samajwadi and BSP, which was totally crushed by the Narin Modi wave. And multiple leaders from your previous party have joined your present political party. It's almost like a leader a day leaving the Congress what's causing this exodus from the Congress. According to you, I've already said there's no connect between the people and the Congress anymore. The Congress is totally disconnected with the ground. Reality is, and I don't see that happening in the future and people have disheartened and they are leaving my last question to you. First phase, of course, is the 19th. Pli beet is among those 102 constituencies which go to polls. It is the highest of all the seven phases Your thought on this battle for pli No, no, I'm telling you, it's N and the modiri all the way. J, I appreciate your time. Thank you so much for speaking to NDTD. And with that it's a wrap from my side. Keep watching ND TV.
