Delhi MCD election on 23 April

AAP claims that the BJP would be left with 39 wards and the Congress eight. 

With the crucial Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) election now days away, two surveys conducted today showed contrasting results: while the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claimed it is winning 218 of the 272 municipal wards, the ABP News-C Voter survey predicted an easy victory for the BJP.

In a press conference in Delhi, AAP leader Ashish Khetan said the BJP, which has controlled the Delhi civic body for 10 years, would be left with 39 wards and the Congress eight. Independent candidates and smaller parties would corner a huge 11.5 per cent of all votes but win just seven seats, he said.

On the other hand, the ABP News survey said the BJP will command an impressive 36 per cent of the votes, while the AAP will manage 26 per cent, and the Congress 17 per cent.

Well all says will come to an end , as MCD elections are on 23rd April, this Sunday.

Red beacons for VIPs banned from May 1

The government decided on Wednesday to ban red beacons atop cars of all ministers, politicians and bureaucrats, ending a privilege that was seen as the ultimate status symbol.

The ban, effective from May 1, doesn’t exempt even vehicles of the country’s top dignitaries such as the President, Prime Minister and the Chief Justice of India.

But ambulances and vehicles of the fire service, police, and army will be allowed to use blue flashing beacons to cut through traffic.

Yogi Adityanath Uttar Pradesh's new Chief Minister

For the first time, it is clear that the BJP is not being surreptitious about its ideological agenda. If it is branded as a hard core Hindutva party, so be it. No apologies required. It's confident that it can accommodate it with its development agenda without a conflict. This could have come from the renewed confidence from the mandate in the state where it mixed Hindu polarisation and issues of development with ease. The results told it that it can take along both. This could be the party's template for all future elections in states across the country.

I will follow Modi's mantra 'sabka saath, sabka vikas', said Yogi Adityanath after being chosen by the party to be chief minister of Uttar Pradesh. Why aren't many cheering the statement? Well, his track record as a Hindutva firebrand could be a bit unsettling for even those who have weakness for the Hindutva ideology. It is natural for them to be wary of someone who has no qualms about being unabashedly combative when it comes to religion. For those not in the know, he suggested that those who don't practice yoga should leave Hindustan. And those averse to doing suryanamaskar should jump into the sea. Of course, his hard views on the Muslim community are well-known. So when someone like him talks of sabka saath, sabka vikas it has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Assembly Election 2017 Live:Exit Polls predict BJP gain over Alliance in UP

After a high-octane campaigning for over two months, results for the five poll-bound states —Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa, Uttarakhand and Manipur — will be announced on 11 March. But before the counting of votes begins and the results are out, poll pundits get on to number crunching to predict different scenarios.

In India's largest and most populous state, the respondents seem evenly divided over their view on the Akhilesh Yadav government. While 49 percent of them are satisfied with the Samajwadi Party's rule, another 44 percent are unsatisfied.

On the question of the most popular choice for the post of chief minister,  the battle in the hill state Uttarakhand seems evenly split between former chief minister BC Khanduri and the incumbent Harish Rawat. Nevertheless, despite being a popular choice for the post of chief minister, respondents are unhappy with his government's performance. Around 56 percent of them answered in negative when asked to rate the government.

Fifty-three percent of the total respondents in Goa are reported to have expressed satisfaction with government's performance while only 44 percent of the respondents are unhappy with the saffron party's regime.

In Punjab, around 54 percent of the respondents are unhappy with the SAD-BJP government's performance.
