Left, Right & Centre

On the Left, Right and Centre, our exclusive interview with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who remains in detention since she was taken into custody in Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh. She asks a basic question, why is she detained while the son of a Union Minister who was reportedly in the convoy of vehicles which mowed down farmers is roaming free?

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra today said she was pushed and manhandled when she was detained by the Uttar Pradesh police early in the morning and claimed she was not shown any legal documents either. "They did not show my any papers. If they do not give me any papers, then I will call it kidnapping," the Congress leader told NDTV in an exclusive interview from a guest house in Sitapur where she was detained.

On Left, Right and Centre, we look at the fallout of the violence in UP's Lakhimpur Kheri in which eight people, including four farmers, were run over by a vehicle allegedly belonging to a Union minister's son. Top political leaders, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were detained on their way to Lakhimpur Kheri and many are asking, what does the UP government have to hide.

The farmers in UP's Lakhimpur Kheri appear to have reached an agreement with the state government in double-quick time. They have been offered compensation and are now willing to end their protests in Lakhimpur Kheri. All this on a day when the Supreme Court in an observation said that farmers should end their protests since the matter is being heard in the Supreme Court. The top court will now look into whether protests can happen when a matter is before the court.

Petrol and diesel prices today touched record levels across India after rates were hiked by 25 paise and 30 paise a litre respectively. The prices of CNG and PNG have also been increased sharply.

Is it too late for the Congress to revive in Punjab before the assembly elections due next year? Has the Punjab crisis deepened the divide within the Congress given the twitter war between G-23 and Gandhi family loyalists over the attack on Kapil Sibal's house? We speak with Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi.

RS Sharma, CEO of the National Health Authority and the head of the CoWIN app, speaks to NDTV about the new Ayushman Bharat digital mission and how this digital interface will revolutionise healthcare in our country.

In a mega twist in the Punjab Congress crisis, Captain Amarinder Singh, who was Congress's Chief Minister in Punjab, until just a few days ago today met Home Minister Amit Shah at his residence. The Congress now faces its worst possible crisis -- with clear signs of a possibility of a 3-way split in the Punjab Congress. However, the bigger question is, is this crisis in the Congress now increasingly existential?

Navjot Singh Sidhu has resigned as Punjab Congress chief, delivering a big shock to the Gandhis, who may have hoped that changing the chief minister would help end the turmoil in the state before elections early next year. This is Amarinder Singh's big 'I told you so' moment. He said in a tweet, "I told you so...he is not a stable man." Today, was meant to be a day of celebration for the Congress with Kanhaiya Kumar joining and Jignesh Mevani voicing support to the Congress. But the induction was clearly overshadowed.
