Bjp Government In Tripura Is Facing Serious Discontent From People
Having inflicted a humiliating defeat on the BJP and coming back to power for the third consecutive time in West Bengal, a resurgent Trinamool Congress has set its sights onTripura, a BJPruled State, where State Assembly elections are due in February, 2023, or a year and a half from now. Chief Minister Biplab Deb has been known for his non-governancerather than for his efforts at developing the tiny north-eastern State. The BJP came to powerin Tripura by weaning over activists of other parties like the Congress, the CPI-M and theTMC. Today these defectors stand thoroughly disillusioned with the performance of the partywhich once claimed to be a “party with a difference.”The people of Tripura want a change desperately. The TMC is making a determined bid tdislodge the BJP Government. The morale of the BJP in Tripura is at its nadir. State-levelleaders and grass root level workers are leaving the party in droves and joining the TMC.Even the Speaker of Tripura Assembly, Rebati Mohan Das has resigned. In a desperate bid to keep him in the party, the leadership made him the vice-president of the State unit assoon as he resigned. The political grapevine in Agartala is that he is going to quit and jointhe TMC shortly. What is most surprising is that when the party is disintegrating, the ChiefMinister has kept completely mum. He has not opened his mouth at a time when his party isfacing an existential threat. Some top leaders of the TMC like Bengal Education Minister Bratya Basu, TMC MPShantanu Sen, national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, youth leader and West Bengalparty spokesman Debangshu Bhattacharyya are flying to and fro between Kolkata andAgartala frequently. Many of them have received lathi blows from the police when taking partin mass agitations in Tripura.The young and inexperienced Chief Minister, cast in the RSS mould, often cuts a comicfigure by his reckless statements. He has claimed that Internet and satellite communicationwas in vogue during the Mahabharata days. Proof: Sanjay gave a running commentary onthe Kurukshetra war to Dhritarashtra. Another pearl of wisdom that only civil engineersshould join the civil services; those who are from a mechanical engineering background shotnot go in for civil services. Instances can be multiplied.Tripura’s population can be roughly divided into two-thirds Bengalis and one-third tribals. Inthe last elections the BJP won with the support of a section of tribals. But by now the BJPhas largely alienated the tribals. The TMC is trying to forge an alliance with the TiprahaIndigenous Progressive Regional Alliance (TIPRA). It is negotiating with the leader of theTIPRA, Pradyot Kishsore Deb Barma. Once a solid base of the CPI-M, the tribals havelargely, but not totally, moved away from the CPI-M. The CPI-M is also trying to put its house in order. It has one asset in the person of theformer chief minister Manik Sarkar who realizes the danger of the BJP and the communalforces it represents. During his election campaign in West Bengal he was repeatedlyemphasizing on the danger of communal forces and telling the people that the BJP must bedefeated to defeat thecommunal and authoritarian forces. His mode of campaigning was insharp contrast with that of his Bengal comrades whose line was that both the BJP and theTMC are enemies, but the TMC is the greater enemy.Mass meetings being currently held by the CPI-M in Tripura see good turnouts. The party’simage in Tripura is far cleaner than the Bengal party’s. Its three and a half decades ofuninterrupted rule in Bengal saw corruption take root in the party’s middle and lower levels.In Tripura, throughout its rule, the party scrupulously avoided the pomp and pageantry ofpower.However, the political situation in Tripura has undergone a sea change. Both CPI(M) andthe Trinamool are vying for getting the advantage of erosion of BJP support base. There isno doubt that the BJP is slowly losing ground to the TMC. It believes that when MamataBanerjee comes to Tripura, there will be a groundswell of support for the party and a heavyerosion in the BJP.That the saffron party is afraid of losing power, is obvious. On the one hand it claims that theTMC is no force to challenge the BJP in Tripura while on the other hand it is adoptingstrong-arm methods against the TMC. Its rallies are coming under physical attack from theBJP activists, permission to hold public meetings is often denied on one pretext or another. Power supply is often disturbed in the TMC meetings. But the cumulative - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara effect of all these ismaking the BJP.

No Milk Or Water: Shortage Of Basics At London Grocery Stores Agency News: London
The supply chain troubles caused by Brexit and the pandemic have been so bad for Satyan Patel that the shelves at his convenience store in central London are seriously lacking water and soft drinks.“Last week I ran out of Coca-Cola.

RRR, Gangubai Kathiawadi and Attack to release in theatres
Agency News: Mumbai Highly-anticipated movies RRR, Attack and Gangubai Kathiawadi will release exclusively on the big screen, production house PEN India Ltd said on Wednesday morning
“We would like to clarify that Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR and Attack will release in cinemas. There have been several rumours doing rounds about these films releasing on OTT platforms before cinemas which are untrue,” read the full statement.
While cinema halls have opened up post the second wave of coronavirus, many people are still reluctant to visit theatres fearing infection. Many filmmakers are still opting for an OTT release in such a scenario so as to avoid losses of any nature. Akshay Kumar-starrer BellBottom was one of the first Hindi films to hit theatres post the second wave of Covid-19. While its business was restricted, the release of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest offering, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has certainly changed things for the better, both abroad and even in India, as far as business is concerned. The Simu Liu actioner has minted 140 million dollars worldwide, whereas its fourth day collection in India stands at an impressive Rs 14.45 crore.
