Moving on the unity of India opposition bloc has suffered back to back setbacks within hours, with the Aadmi party declaring that it will be it will contest all look Saba seats in Punjab. Shortly after Trin world chief Matta Banaji ruled out any alliance congress in West Bengal, both Bengal and Punjab. Attacks and counterattacks between the Congress and the ruling party have continued unabated over the past few months despite claims of unity at India meetings Another day of the Jon Ayata for Rahul Gandhi. But the Congress's crucial allies appear to be walking away just months before the crucial looks of our election. In a double whammy for the party, crucial India bloc allies Penal Chief Minister Mohamad of Energy and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwan Man announced that there would be no tie up for the T MC and Ahmad B party with the Congress for the election in Bengal. Mata Mani is reportedly furious at the congress's local leadership, particularly locals of her MP Arann Chaudhury, the statu and boss who is fiercely opposed to an alliance with the tram and has repeatedly attacked moment of energy the Bengal chief minister also hit out at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and his father Jodo NYRA bungle over 24 hours ago.

She told the party man she had offered the party two seats that had already held, pointing to its abysmal performance of four seats in 2014 and just two seats in the last election in 2019. Responding to Mat Energy's outbursts, top Congress leaders claim differences with the TMC would be sorted out. Mat is the senior most leader of India Alliances Party. We are respectfully saying that if there is any concern in her mind, we will try and we will discuss and settle it here and there. There may be some issues. Finally we will follow very issues. We are ready to address that things. But hours later a back to back setback with the armed party reiterating that it will contest all 13 los of has seats in Punjab Punjab Hero Go here with me. The decision by a army party and three to go solo in their strongholds needs to be seen against the backdrop of the persistent tussle between the congress and regional forces in India. While regional parties, specifically the Trimol Aadmi Party and the Samajwadi Party have repeatedly demanded the leading role in their bastions, the congress has pushed for a bigger pie during seat sharing talks at the state level. The big question now how can the India bloc sort out the seed sharing mess with Mohammad Kaz Ali in Chandigarh, SAB Gupta and the TV political rhetoric over the decision to award ex Bihar Chief Minister and O BC leader Kit Thakur Aposto Parana less than three months before the general election ramped up on Wednesday with Bihar Chief Minister Uh Nitesh Kumar thanking the Modi government for the award while his alliance partner in RJ D making a blunt attack on the B JP over the award in some logo. Ruth Carter, Janna Karur Turka Bhara in a rare gesture thank Prime Minister Modi, the former chief minister considered the architect of E BC politics in the country's chance has led to speculation of yet another in Bihar politics. Mr Kumar, while addressing an extremely backward cast conference in Patna to mark the birth Centenary celebrations refrained from attacking the central government her Salle S or in sub logo Ruth Carter, Janna Karp Turka B, Let's alliance partner in Bihar. The RJD was more blunt in its attack on the BJP, calling the award for Mr Takur too little, too late and claiming the BJP would fail in its attempt to woo EBC S seem to side with the N Lalu combined In past elections, the party also raked up the cast census. In its response. Kumar one Cedric and the other the King Ofri, Kendra and the KR celebrations at the home of After the award for Mr Thakur. The BJP is expected to W non other BCS both in Bihar and up with this news. But the big question now can the BJP derive any political advantage with Manish Kumar and Maria Shakil Bureau Report NE TV There was unprecedented security in Manipur's capital Imphal today for a crucial meeting between Aramba, 10, a powerful local group, and ministers. M is from the valley region of Manipur. The meeting was held at Imphal. Kang fought the seat of power of the erstwhile Kingdom of Manipur days after over a dozen people were killed in a renewed flare up of violence in the state. My colleague Ranade Chaudhary brings us this report Unprecedented security today outside the historic KLA fort in Manipur's capital Imphal, the influential group are inviting all which has the support of over 50,000 volunteers, all for this meeting with the MS and ministers to discuss the road map to a lasting peace in the state. According to sources, the METI group has raised certain demands like the implementation of NRC in Manipur with 1951 as the base here. They also want the ceasefire agreement with the Kiso groups to be scrapped. They also want replacement of Assam rifles by any other central force. They also want the Myanmar refugees in Manipur to be shifted to neighbouring Mizoram and they have also raised the contentious demand of delisting of certain cookies tribal groups from the scheduled tribe lists in Manipur. The meeting comes at a time when opposition parties in Manipur, including the main opposition Congress, have criticised the centre and the BIREN Singh led government for not telling the public that Article 355 of the constitution has been invoked since the communal clashes in the state began in May 3 last year. Article 355 allows the union to assume control of the state's law and order enforcement without dismissing the state government, and is a step beneath president's rule being invoked. Those are some rifle in Moray King and Inal West district. They should be replaced by a nuclear force with proper advice and guidance. KO groups vehemently oppose any move to remove the Assam rifles from the state and also object to the meeting between RMY Teng and central representatives. It is very clear that just it is just a cooked up stories that they, uh, the MLS the 35 MLS are taking on these decisions we have with the tribals have full faith in the Central security forces. We feel that they are maintaining, uh, total neutrality with BM Sanju in Imphal in Guwahati. Ramandeep Chaudhury find the TV now.

Well, Nikki Haley repeatedly questioned the 77 year old's mental fitness and warned another Trump presidency would bring chaos. Polls indicate that her efforts in New Hampshire created little more than a speed bump to her campaign.
