New Kids On The Block On Didi vs Election Commission, Kohinoor Debate
New Kids on The Block tonight comes from Jadavpur University in West Bengal. As the state approaches the crucial third phase of assembly elections, the main confrontation seems to be not between the major political parties but Mamata Banejee and the Election Commission. As Ms Banerjee openly dares the poll panel, we ask is this now about Election Commission versus Mamata Banerjee? Also, as the reservation violence returns to Gujarat with the jail bharo andolan, is the government in denial about how serious things really are? And finally, the Centre takes an unexpected turn on the Kohinoor issue, tells the Supreme Court to let the UK keep the giant rock, saying it was gifted to Queen Victoria. The top court wants a full reply in six weeks, but could this be factually right?
