CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury hit back at PM Modi for accusing the opposition of creating a north-south divide in India. Yechury argues that the opposition is not trying to divide the country, but rather convert India’s secular, democratic republic character into a fascistic, rabidly intolerant Hindutva rashtra. He emphasizes the importance of understanding India’s geography and highlights the unity shown by chief ministers from Delhi, Punjab, and Kerala. Yechury condemns the Centre’s attempt to centralize power and move towards a unitary state structure.

A small pilgrimage town near Prayagraj becomes a battleground for the Kamandal vs Mandal battle in Uttar Pradesh. The Nishad Party, a small constituent of the National Democratic Alliance, is demanding the removal of a mosque from Shrivengpur, claiming its historical significance. The party represents riverine castes and has been demanding Scheduled Caste reservation. While the Samajwadi Party criticizes this demand as a Hindutva mask, the Nishad Party sees it as an assertion of Hindu identity. The Nishads, who can influence the outcome of 38 Lok Sabha seats in the state, are reassessing their options in the race for jobs and representation.
