The battle for Bengal is quite the political potboiler, and stirring in some pop-culture references doesn't harm.
The BJP has been conducting a massive campaign on Didi's turf in Bengal over the&nbsp;last couple of weeks, with senior leaders from Amit Shah to JP Nadda to Prime Minister Narendra Modi&nbsp;reaching out to voters ahead of the assembly polls.
At one such election rally in West Bengal&rsquo;s Anandapuri, BJP president Jagat Prakash Nadda dropped a catchphrase from the recent 'Pawri' trend to announce the party&rsquo;s development plan for the state.
However, many pointed out that it was the Trinamool&nbsp;Congress who jumped onto the 'Pawri' bandwagon first.

Covid-19 vaccination sessions scheduled on Saturday and Sunday, the 27th and 28th of February, won't be held anywhere in the country as the Co-Win app is getting an upgrade. The app is being upgraded in order to link the first phase of vaccination into the second phase starting from March 1.

The government also has the data of senior citizens based on electoral rolls. But for people with co-morbidities, who are also included in this phase starting from Monday, the option of self-registration had to be included. The self-registration option will be available from March 1 to enable senior citizens and people above 45 years of age with co-morbidities to register themselves on the app.

Strong festive sales boosted growth numbers in the final quarter of 2020 as India exited recession after two quarters of growth contraction. GDP for the October-December period is now pegged at 0.4% , the first expansion after the pandemic hit.&nbsp;India is now one of the few economies that saw growth expand in the quarter gone by.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Though technically the recession may be over but it is not all good news the govt has&nbsp;revised&nbsp;&nbsp;the&nbsp;full year GDP to reflect a contraction of 8% vs &ndash;7.7% earlier. Some of the&nbsp;internal indicators&nbsp;are also not very encouraging&nbsp;for example spending from the govt&nbsp;as well private spending have shown a contraction on a&nbsp;year on year&nbsp;basis.&nbsp;&nbsp;
It is&nbsp;definitely&nbsp;too&nbsp;early to celebrate the recovery as International ratings agency Moody&rsquo;s warns that the risk to growth forecast for India is tilted to the downside. Even JPMorgan&nbsp;has raised an alarm that&nbsp;&nbsp;a&nbsp;consumer credit crisis could derail India&rsquo;s economic recovery . For the weekend however economy watchers can enjoy the headline that India has exited recession.&nbsp;
