New Delhi [India], May 30 (ANI): On completion of seven years of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA)-led government on Sunday, Union Ministers took to Twitter to congratulate Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the occasion.
Move created impression among Hindus, Christians that he was eyeing Deputy CM post
The return of Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) leader P.K. Kunhalikutty to State politics seems to have damaged the electoral prospects of the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) in several districts in the just-concluded Assembly poll.
The decision created an impression in the majority Hindu community as well as the minority Christian community that Mr. Kunhalikutty was aiming for the post of the Deputy Chief Minister if the Congress-led front came to power in the State. Besides, it triggered an apprehension that the IUML would overwhelm the UDF before long during the five-year tenure.

Patna: The Mamata Banerjee led Trinamool Congressâs emphatic victory over the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal has created excitement among the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)’s cadre in Bihar though their celebrations remain âsubduedâ because of the devastating second wave of COVD-19.
Ruling Bharatiya Janata Party created history in the north eastern Indian state of Assam by becoming the first non-Congress party to win two successive terms in the state assembly elections there.
Staving off a spirited fightback from its main challenger Congress, the saffron party, along with its regional allies like Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), won 75 out of the total 126 seats, 11 less than the previous assembly elections five years ago. The Congress-led 10-party alliance including All India United Democratic Front (AIDUF) of perfume baron Badruddin Ajmal, finished runners up with a total of 50 seats this time. The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance, which did not have AIDUF in it in 2016 but had Left parties, got 26 seats in the 2016 poll.
