Bengal post-poll violence: DGP confirms two deaths, urges people to maintain calm
The Director General of Police in West Bengal has confirmed two deaths related to post-election violence since the election results were announced.
On this Special Report, the focus is on the intensifying political confrontation between the BJP and the DMK in Tamil Nadu. Union Minister L. Murugan has launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, accusing them of promoting separatist sentiments. Murugan stated, 'In Tamil Nadu, the Udai Nidhi Stalin and the Stalin family always talk about the separate nation, separate country, separate state, and language.' He further contrasted this with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s efforts to promote Tamil culture through initiatives like the Kasi Tamil Sangamam. The transcript also highlights Udhayanidhi Stalin’s counter-allegations against the Centre, where he accused the Modi government of 'grave mismanagement' during the COVID-19 pandemic and criticized the alleged imposition of Hindi in the state. This report explores the escalating 'Aryan vs Dravidian' narrative and the sharp ideological divide ahead of the upcoming polls.
