Lakshadweep officials said public outcry that the administration will grab people’s land under new regulations and undertake rampant commercial development is 'ill-founded'.----more----Read full story here: https://theprint.in/india/want-to-develop-lakshadweep-like-maldives-administrator-praful-patel-defends-draft-land-law/666684/
The idyllic islands of Lakshadweep are brimming with a deep resentment against their administrator Praful Patel. Other than the fact that Patel's decision to ease Covid norms has been blamed for a massive Covid spike in the islands, there's also a sense of disquiet amongst Lakshadweep's inhabitants over a slew of new policies that have been introduced by Patel since his appointment five months back. Some of the new contentious policies that are being criticised to be "undemocratic and anti-people" include a ban on beef in the Muslim majority archipelago, a preventive detention law that makes provisions for detention without a warrant for upto a year and the draft panchayat notification, which proposes that anybody with more than two children can be disqualified from contesting the panchayat polls.While in the political front, several Rajya Sabha MPs and opposition leaders have written to President Kovid criticising Patel's "autocratic style" and urging the President of India to recall Patel along with his proposals, on social media platforms, #SaveLakshadweep has been trending as thousands of citizens have been trying to draw attention to what's happening in the islands. Although Patel says that it's all in the name of development, can his policies adversely impact the economic and the socio-cultural fabric of these islands as people are complaining? Are the objections raised against his proposals justified?

The political scene in Maharashtra heated up after a BJP delegation led by former CM Devendra Fadnavis met governor B S Koshyari and complained to him about the "failure" of the government in tackling the Covid-19 crisis. Maharashtra is the most affected state in the country and has added 2,190 cases to take its tally to 56,948. The state has added more than 2,000 cases on each of the past 11 days. About 46 per cent of all its patients have come in these 11 days alone. State Congress president Balasaheb Thorat, who also heads the revenue department, said on Tuesday that "BJP leaders in the state are greedy for power. They cannot think of helping the government in the current situation. They are trying to destabilise the government." Thorat said there is no reason to worry about the survival of the government, and asserted that the ruling dispensation is stable and functioning properly. The Congress is one of the constituents in the Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. The other partner is the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). When asked why no Congress leader is seen around chief minister Uddhav Thackeray or NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Thorat said, "We are in touch with each other over phone. Nothing should be read into such appearances or disappearances". Interestingly, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday has said that the Congress does not have a key role to play in the Maharashtra government. He appears to be distancing his party from the ruling alliance that is being criticised for its handling of the coronavirus pandemic in the state. Despite the fact that the Congress is part of "Maha Vikas Aghadi" and holds key ministries, Rahul Gandhi said, "We are only supporting the government but are not in the key decision-making role in Maharashtra." Rahul Gandhi's statement could be a setback for the MVA government in Maharashtra, where hectic politicking is going on. Gandhi, however, defended the state government and said that Mumbai is a well-connected city and that is the reason why Covid cases are rising there. He added that Maharashtra requires the full support of the Central government as the state is fighting a very difficult battle. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), the third member of the alliance, could be the reason for the decline of the government. Nationalist Congress Party President Sharad Pawar went to meet Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari at Raj Bhavan, in what was described by both sides as a "courtesy call". This was Pawar's first-ever meeting with the Governor who was appointed in September 2019, crowning a series of recent political developments in the state. Praful Patel also defended Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal from attacks by Shiv Sena and Congress leaders, who have been scathing about the lack of help from the railways in helping move migrants to their home states. While the Shiv Sena, without specifying any party or leader, has said that the opposition's efforts to destabilise the state government could boomerang, the NCP has accused the BJP of spreading rumours that President's rule will be imposed. Well, the demand for imposition of the President's Rule in the state was indeed made on Monday afternoon by BJP leader and former Chief Minister Narayan Rane after meeting the governor. Among various things, Rane has claimed the government headed by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had failed to handle the Covid-19 pandemic crisis in the state. New political alignments, possibly even central rule, could be on the cards in Maharashtra... only time will tell.
1. The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a plea filed by a former DGP of Uttar Pradesh seeking an order to the Election Commission of India to ban roadshows and bike rallies during polls. Singh, a former Director General of Police of Uttar Pradesh, said in his petition that roadshows and bike rallies violate EC's instructions and cause damage to the environment. The bench said that they wouldn't entertain the plea. 2. The BJP has released its list of candidates for two parliamentary constituencies and nine Assembly constituencies in Odisha. Kharbela Swain, who joined the BJP on Monday itself, would be contesting from the parliamentary seat of Kandhamal. Meanwhile, former Odisha DGP and DG CRPF Prakash Mishra would be contesting from the parliamentary constituency of Cuttack. He joined the BJP on Sunday. 3. Tripura Congress President Pradyot Kishore has announced that the Congress and the Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura (INPT) are forming an alliance for the Lok Sabha polls. 4. Today the Supreme Court asked the Election Commission to file an affidavit on why physical verification of VVPAT paper trail should not be extended to more than one polling station per Assembly segment. The EC has till 28 March to file the affidavit. The apex court also asked the poll body to give reason for its satisfaction on the existing arrangement of sample survey of one EVM with VVPAT per assembly segment. 5. Odisha Chief Minister and BJD Chief Naveen Patnaik files nomination for the Bijepur assembly constituency at the Padampur Sub Collector office in Bargarh. He had earlier filed his nomination for the Hinjili assembly constituency as well. 6. Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) releases list of star campaigners for Lok Sabha elections for Maharashtra. Sharad Pawar, Praful Patel and Supriya Sule feature on the list. 7. Paralympian Deepa Malik and INLD MLA Kehar Singh Rawat joins Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). 8.
