    SOCIAL MEDIA STARS: KERALA Two people whose reach goes beyond Kerala and its politics — Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and BJP’s surprise candidate for the Thiruvananthapuram Assembly constituency former cricketer S Sreesanth — lead the Twitter charts in the state. Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and BJP state president K Rajasekaran are also active, often tweeting in Malayalam. Due to long-standing alliances in the state, the United Democratic Front (UDF) led by the Congress has a handle of its own, in addition to independent handles of the parties.

  • On Mamata's Call for a Non-NDA Platform
    WWW.ACHIEVEGOVTJOBS.COM EDITORIAL ( 13 JUNE 2021) Hello students, All of you are welcome on Achieve Govt Jobs. Here we are providing you Reading Comprehension Test With Answers PDF asked in various exams, which is based on IBPS PO/Clerk/LIC AAO/RRB and SSC CGL exams and other competitive exams. Seed and fruits: On Mamata’s call for a non-NDA platform A mechanism for CMs to cooperate on issues of Centre-State relations is welcome West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s call for cooperation among non-NDA counterparts in other States to support farmers agitating against three controversial laws made in June 2020 seems part of a larger political project. It is meant to go beyond aiding the farmers, who fear that these laws could make them more vulnerable to market fluctuations. But the focus on farm laws, which the Government says would make farming more competitive and remunerative, is an important start. While the Government reiterated this week that MSP for various crops would continue, the fact remains that regardless of the merits of these laws, they were made without adequate consultations with parties, States and the stakeholders. After a meeting with farmer leaders from Uttar Pradesh, Ms. Banerjee said she accepted their request to speak to other Chief Ministers who are not in the NDA. While reiterating her demand to repeal the three laws, she has proposed a virtual conference of CMs with the farmers and a joint letter to the Centre on the issue. Many CMs are likely to agree with her, despite political rivalries among them.

INTRODUCTION response outlook is largely characterised by securitisation of the prevailing health he outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis, turning it into an Indian Muslims-led pandemic has steered many nation- conspiracy against the Indian Hindus.
