Rajpal Yadav reacts to Nawazuddin’s praise
Watch how Rajpal Yadav reacted to Nawazuddin Siddiqui praising him for helping fellow actors during their struggling days in Mumbai.
The arrest of Tamil Nadu minister V Senthil Balaji by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in cash-for-jobs scam has triggered a war of words between the ruling DMK, BJP and the AIDMK, the opposition parties in the state. The DMK minister complained of chest pain and broke down when he was being taken to a hospital for a medical checkup by the probe agency on Wednesday morning. Balaji has been arrested in connection with a money laundering case. While the DMK has condemned Balaji's arrest, the BJP and AIADMK have called for the dismissal of Balaji from the cabinet of Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin. DMK Rajya Sabha MP NR Elango termed V Senthil Balaji's arrest by the ED as "illegal" and "unconstitutional".

Yogi Adityanath on Saturday presented a saffron gamcha to Suvendu Adhikari, shortly after the latter took oath as the first BJP Chief Minister of West Bengal. The crowd also erupted into a loud cheer as the scene unfolded at the swearing-in ceremony in Kolkata. This was at least the second such instance in recent weeks when the duo's bonhomie was witnessed publicly. Earlier, during the election campaign in the state, a powerful scene was witnessed when Adhikari bowed down at the feet of the UP Chief Minister as a mark of respect.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hugged and honoured 98-year-old Makhanlal Sarkar, one of the earliest and senior most members of the BJP. The scene unfolded on the stage ahead of Suvendu Adhikari's swearing-in as West Bengal's Chief Minister in Kolkata. PM Modi also touched Sarkar's feet and presented a shawl to him as a mark of respect. In 1952, Sarkar was arrested in Kashmir while he was accompanying Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee as the latter was marching to hoist the tricolour there. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya described the elderly party leader as "one of the earliest grassroots figures associated with the nationalist movement in post-Independence India."
