On a day his government entered its fifth, and last year in power, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party appeared to launch the BJP's campaign for a second term at the centre with a coordinated takedown of the ant-BJP front that could come up before the 2019 general elections.

As writers held a silent march against the Sahitya Akademi, another group of people staged a counter-protest in New Delhi today, alleging that the move by authors to return awards was "motivated by their vested interests" and the literary body should not buckle under "pressure".
