Left, Right & Centre

The UP Chief Minister seems more worried about cow slaughter than the life of a policeman in his state. Yogi Adityanath has not uttered a word on inspector Subodh Singh, who was murdered by a mob in Bulandshahr. Have we normalised hate and violence?

On Left Right and Centre tonight, we discuss whether Rahul Gandhi's brand of Hindutva be a problem for the BJP in the upcoming elections. A day after Mr Gandhi, on the election trail in Rajasthan, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not understand the foundation of Hindutva, there were reactions which came from the BJP. Today, Smriti Irani weighed in on the debate and asked 'where was the Hindu in him before? Before giving certificates to others, he should look at himself'. Tonight we ask, is who is a better Hindu the real issue? Are lessons on Hinduism, a significant political priority?

Controversy grows over alleged tampering of electronic voting machines in Madhya Pradesh where the EVMs reached the collection centre in Sagar 48 hours after voting ended for the state elections on Wednesday. The Congress that has complained to the Election Commission claims the election process has been subverted. On Left Right and Centre, we ask if these concerns justified or an excuse as the ruling BJP claims.

We discuss the GDP or growth numbers, which are now shrouded in controversy after the government revised the data which ends up making the UPA look not so good in its handling of the economy and makes the Modi government look better.

Thousands of farmers converge in the national capital, marching towards Parliament, demanding that someone listen to their cries about the very real rural distress they face.

A huge political row breaks out over the revised GDP numbers which show that growth under the UPA government was slower than previously said. So should we believe this new data or is this is a purely political move by the government ahead of the general elections?

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh today said that he could not accept Pakistan's invite to the Katarpur corridor foundation stone-laying ceremony in good conscience when terrorists from across the border continue to target civilians and security personnel in his state. "While I welcome the Kartarpur initiative, I cannot -- as the chief minister of Punjab -- shift my vision completely to that while terrorists come here and kill our people. We have neutralised 19 terror modules in the past few months, killed 81 terrorists too. I am grateful to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan for the Kartarpur corridor, but his army has no business doing this here," he told NDTV in an interview.

As we head into the final overs of this assembly election campaign, tonight we look at how the main political parties - the BJP and the Congress - are in an all-out ad war, with the BJP emerging as the biggest advertiser on TV. Is this healthy for democracy? Does an ad blitz really help parties or can this money be used more constructively?

Ten years ago on the night of 26th November, 10 Pakistani terrorists who had entered Mumbai by boat began coordinated attacks that lasted three days and killed 166 people. The horror unfolded from the iconic Taj Hotel to the CST station, making headlines around the world. India was never the same again. 26/11 was a turning point for many reasons. But 10 years later, the man who plotted the planned 26/11, LeT founder Hafiz Saeed is still a free man. The trial in Pakistan has barely progressed and has become a total farce. In all this, the biggest question is: Are we safer?
