This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain, wishing all our listeners a very happy new year!It's the 3rd of January and here are the headlines.The Supreme Court today refused to transfer the probe into the allegations of stock price manipulation by Adani Group to a special investigation team and directed market regulator SEBI to complete its probe into two pending cases within three months. The bench said the facts of the case do not warrant a transfer of investigation from the SEBI and stated that it should take its probe to a logical conclusion as per the law.In other news, asserting that it will have to examine to what extent it can exercise its jurisdiction in the matter, the Supreme Court today sought a reply from the Lok Sabha Secretary General in a plea moved by TMC leader Mahua Moitra against her expulsion from the House. The court will hear the matter again in the week commencing on the 11th of March. Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha on 8th of December after the Ethics Committee of the House submitted a report that found her "guilty of unethical conduct".Reaching out to the people of the Muslim-dominated Lakshadweep, which witnessed massive protests against reforms introduced by his government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the archipelago is small, but its heart is large. He was there to inaugurate and lay the foundation for various projects worth Rs 1,150 crore in the Union Territory. He took a dig at the previous non-BJP governments at the Centre, stating that their only priority for decades was the development of their own political parties.The deaths of a wealthy Indian-origin couple and their daughter in the US state of Massachusetts last week have been ruled a murder-suicide by medical authorities after autopsy. Autopsy results issued by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirm that Teena Kamal and her daughter Arianna were victims of homicide by gunshot and Rakesh Kamal died from a "gunshot wound consistent with being self-inflicted".Former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said sometimes one ends up in "vanvas" (exile) while waiting for "rajtilak" (coronation). After the BJP's victory in the Madhya Pradesh assembly polls, the party chose Mohan Yadav as the chief minister, replacing Chouhan who served as the state's CM for four times. Chouhan, while addressing a gathering, said he will continue to be among the people, especially his sisters.This was the Catch-Up on the 3 Things by The Indian Express.

Basant Kumar is joined for this episode by fellow Newslaundry reporter Prateek Goyal. They discuss the NL Sena series by Prateek and Ashwine Kumar Singh about Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's “bulldozer campaign”, and who it's targeting. “The government says that they are fighting the mafia by bulldozing their houses but if you look closely that isn't the case,” Prateek says. “It's an excuse to target the minority community and weaker sections of the society.”They also talk about Basant's report on the Delhi government's student loan scheme and how it has done poorly. Basant explains how the Arvind Kejriwal government has spent vastly more money advertising this scheme than it has given the beneficiaries.

Speaking at the 18th edition of the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh explained the logic of legislation against 'love jihad'. The MP administration is mulling a law to regulate inter-faith marriages, close on the heels of a similar law in neighboring Uttar Pradesh.

Some Hindutva groups claim that 'love jihad' is a conspiracy to convert Hindu women. Tune in to know more.

Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, commented on the ongoing farmer protests. Speaking at the 18th edition of the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, the BJP leader said that a solution can only be found via discussions, and farmers shouldn't be 'stubborn' by claiming to not end the agitation until the 3 contentious agri-reform laws are repealed. Calling the legislations pro-farmer, Chouhan said that protests were being seen in only a few parts of India, and the majority of farmers were in favour of the laws.

Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, featured on Day 7 of the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit 2020.

In this week’s NL Hafta, Abhinandan Sekhri is joined by Meghnad, Raman Kirpal, and Manisha Pande. The panel also features Newslaundry reporters Amit Bhardwaj and Prateek Goyal who are covering the elections from Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh respectively.Amit gives us insight into the election rallies in Rajasthan that are being dominated by PM Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath instead of Vasundhara Raje. He says yes when Abhinandan asks whether a reporter gets new insight when on the ground. He adds that people would assume that the fight in the state is between the BJP and the Congress but in as many as 20 seats, the BSP dominates the other two parties.Prateek shares his experience from Madhya Pradesh. He says the people in the state would vote for the BJP despite their dissatisfaction with the Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led government.Moving on, the panel discusses the anniversary of the Babri Masjid demolition, which Right-wing groups popularly call "Shaurya Diwas". Abhinandan says that unlike countries like Germany, people fail to acknowledge the immorality of the violence that followed the events of December 6, 26 years ago. He adds that as a society, we are a couple of decades behind. Raman talks about his reporting experience during the demolition. He says, “They pulled down this decades-old structure despite Advani making a feeble attempt there, leading, trying to stop them from bringing down the structure. Whereas other leaders were happy about it. And it was an illegal act. And some people got injured and this led to riots. So how can you celebrate it?”The panel also discusses the violence in Bulandshahr where a policeman was allegedly killed by cow vigilantes. They discussed how the media covered the event, especially TV channels during primetime. Pointing out the absurdity in the investigation, Meghnad says, “The weird part of all of this is going into the specifics of which meat was it, was it on the transformer or whether it was in the fridge. But in this whole scenario, a very vital element of this is lost: that a person lost their life for a stupid reason.” Manisha remarks that all this is because of bad investigation and bad reporting.Listen up!

In many ways, this is the toughest election that Shivraj Singh Chouhan has faced in Madhya Pradesh, a state where he has won the last three consecutive elections. The past couple of years have seen agricultural disruptions and multiple caste related agitations in the state. In the meantime, the members of the Congress party seem to have set aside their internal differences and have come together to oppose the incumbent party. But even so, Chouhan's goodwill in the state seems to still run strong. In this episode, we ask if the BJP will win in Madhya Pradesh yet again, and try to understand how the result of this election will affect what happens in the 2019 general elections.

In this current election season, travelling across Madhya Pradesh, the only point of discussion one can hear is complaints from farmers. There are problems with the registration process for Bhavantar where rich farmers are favoured more, private traders lower their prices in the market as they know that the small farmer has no other option but to sell to them. hence making the poor farmers poorer . This is not to say that Bhavantar or government's work has not benefited the farmers. Things could have been a lot worse without the scheme. Madhya Pradesh has been one of India’s better performers in agricultural growth under the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government.. the state which has 70% of its population engaged in farming,, and if THIS community's anger is shown on the ballot.. One can say that Chouhan Mamaji is in big trouble..

Shivraj Singh Chouhan has been the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh for the past 13 years. This will be the fourth consecutive time that he'll be looking to retain power in the BJP led state. In this episode, we look at the highs and lows of Chouhan's tenure and try to understand what makes him stand apart from other BJP chief ministers in the country.

In this episode of NL Hafta, the panel sits down to discuss all that dominated the news this week -- the Bharat Bandh protests, fake news guidelines issued by the I&B Ministry, Salman Khan’s conviction and more.This week's guest, Joyjeet Das, journalist with Catch News, spoke on the Videocon-ICICI Bank loan row. "If any of this is true, there will be a huge blow to trust, including investors' trust, which would not work out well in the Indian equities market," he said. Manisha adds that this story broke in 2016 when Intralive journalist Rashmi Singh reported on it. Speaking on whether this indeed qualifies as a scam, Raman says, "On the face of it, ICICI has not denied any allegations. They are simply saying that it doesn't amount to a conflict of interest."While discussing the issue of nationwide Dalit protests, Raman and Joydeep debate if the protests were hijacked by politicians or were a result of "impromptu anger."Abhinandan points out how, "Even though Bapu and Ambedkar were brilliant leaders...technology has allowed today's leaders a better understanding of what India is."Shivraj Singh Chouhan's move to make five religious leaders Ministers of State has our panel wondering what could have prompted the bizarre decision. "It must be a move to patronise these leaders' large following," Raman states.Abhinandan recalls his experience in West Bengal while discussing the recent events of communal violence there. "There was never a threat of violence, even if you abused each other," he says. Joyjeet, however, states, "this idea of violence is not new in Bengal...political violence has been around for long.""Munni ka toh pata nahi, par bhai toh badnaam ho gaya," Abhinandan jokes on the issue of Salman Khan's judgment. The panelists discuss the court's decision to acquit the others and jail Salman.Discussions of the hike in fuel prices have the team recall PMO's initial speeches where he promised to lower down fuel prices.The team also listens in to emails from our subscribers. Listen up, there is a song dedication in the end to our very dear Prime Minister. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

“I have not seen a liar Chief Minister like him [Shivraj Singh Chouhan] in my entire lifetime,” Shiv Kumar Sharma said. The farmer leader has reason to be upset and angry at the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister: The Chouhan government, he said, has made hundreds of announcements in the past but never implemented it.Sharma is the 66-year-old who has led the farmers’ protest in Madhya Pradesh, which turned violent. Also known as Kakkaji in MP, Sharma called Chouhan a “darpok (coward)” CM.The chief of the Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangh (RKMS), Sharma charged that the Shivraj government has failed to address the agrarian crisis in the state over the last 14 years. And as a result, “due to this building pressure on farmers, the cooker had burst.”On his radar are both the BJP government and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)’s farmer body Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS). According to Sharma, the BKS struck a deal with the state government and unanimously called off the protest. By doing so, they have cheated the farming community, he said.Sharma himself was once the BKS chief and was thrown out of the organisation, when in 2010, he spearheaded the farmers’ agitation in December 2010 against the “own” BJP government and gheraoed Bhopal with tractors. “I was thrown out of BKS when we gheraoed Bhopal with tractors during our agitation- Operation 10.12 in 2010. I was immediately arrested and sent to jail. ” His associates told Newslaundry that in a career of 40 years, Sharma has gone to jail 44 times for the raising the farmers’ cause.Sharma rejects claims that farmers turned violent during the protest which took over Madhya Pradesh for the last 15 days. According to him, this was a strategy of the state government to provoke agitators and discredit them once it turned violent.The farmers of Malwa region in Madhya Pradesh began protesting against the BJP-led government on June 1. A higher minimum support price for their crops and loan waivers were amongst their 20 demands. However, on June 6, six farmers were shot dead in the police farming.Meanwhile, CM Chouhan who sat on an “indefinite” hunger strike broke his fast on the very second day. Sharma has called Chauhan’s fasts a “nautanki (drama)”.While the RKMS is not satisfied with the announcements made by the Chouhan government, they said the protest will continue. It has identified national highways across the country which will be blocked for three hours on June 16. On June 23, the RKMS is planning to hold protests by doing the shavasana - where farmers will lie like dead bodies in front of posters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. June 21 is the International Day of Yoga.This 66-year-old farmer leader from Hoshangabad district debunks the arguments that loan waivers for farmers will hurt taxpayers. “It is the farmers of this country who give subsidy to entire nation,” Sharma told Newslaundry. “Farmers’ get 30-40 per cent less than the minimum support price… The moong dal which costs Rs 5,500 is bought at Rs 2,500, we get 85 paise per kg of potato,” said Sharma.On June 13, the RKMS filed a complaint with the National Human Rights’ Commission (NHRC) accusing CM Chouhan for the killings of farmers on June 6. For Sharma, Chouhan is a “hatyara (murderer) Chief Minister.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
