Left, Right & Centre

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra starts a boat yatra in East UP. The boat trip ends in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's constituency in three days. But how is the Priyanka factor really working out on the ground?

A new chief minister for Goa is about to be sworn-in. After a day of much drama the BJP finally has support for its candidate Pramod Sawant.

Just a few days ago, the BJP heavily advertised its new slogan, #ModiHaitoMumkinHai, but now it seems to have been changed to #MainBhiChowkidar. This has come as a clear counter to the jibe the Congress repeatedly throws the BJP's way - "chowkidaar chor hai". But according to the BJP, this slogan of 'chowkidaar chor hai' does not resonate with the people of the country. This war of slogans continued as Rahul Gandhi hit back with a tweet and said that PM Narendra Modi is getting defensive. On Left, Right and Centre, we discuss if the BJP's new campaign has shifted the narrative from neta to citizen, and whether it will play as well as the 'chaiwala' campaign of 2014.

A day after a foot overbridge collapsed in the heart of Mumbai near the iconic CST station, who is going to be held responsible? Should it be Railways? Or the BMC?

After the Trinamool Congress and the BJD announce reservations in ticket distribution to women in these Lok Sabha polls, Rahul Gandhi promises voters the Congress will pass the women's bill and promises reservations for women in government jobs.

Several airlines around the world and several countries in fact, including the UK, China, Singapore and Australia have grounded the Boeing 737 Max aircraft after the Ethiopan Airways crash, the second in five months of the new airliner which has been reported to have a design defect which could prove to be fatal. But in India, we continue to allow operations of the aircraft. Is it time for the aviation watchdog to ground the Boeing 737 Max aircraft?

The Congress takes the battle to PM Narendra Modi's Gujarat, where Priyanka Gandhi Vadra holds her first ever political rally outside the Gandhi family constituencies in Uttar Pradesh. In her speech today, she targeted PM Modi without once naming him. The big question though: at a time when the Congress party is struggling with alliances, and is losing leaders to the BJP, can Priyanka Gandhi change the political fortunes of the Congress party in the run up to the elections?

Will young voters and those 130 million voting for the first time be the key factor in these elections? What are the issues that matter to young people? Jobs or national security?
