Sayani ChakrabortyMay 9, 20220

The Centre established a delimitation panel on Thursday, and the commission has given its final report for the delimitation of Parliamentary Constituencies and the delimitation of the Assembly for Jammu and Kashmir, which has been the most contentious state since 2019. Because of the increased number of Assembly seats as a result of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, this delimitation commission was essential. As a result, all political parties, with the exception of the BJP, were hostile to the report.

Arpita SarkarMay 8, 20220

Towards the end of the UPA era, the BJP called Manmohan Singh a "weak prime minister". It was said that if Narendra Modi comes to power, the center will continue with the 'strong' policy.
