Hours after BJP projected ‘metro man’ E Sreedharan as its CM candidate for Kerala elections, Union minister V Muraleedharan’s statement has triggered

Hours after BJP projected &lsquo;metro man&rsquo; E Sreedharan as its CM candidate for Kerala elections, Union minister V Muraleedharan&rsquo;s statement has triggered confusion. 
He claimed to have &ldquo;cross-checked&rdquo; with party&rsquo;s Kerala chief K Surendran on the announcement, who said that &ldquo;he has not made any such announcement&rdquo;.
&ldquo;What I wanted to tell was that through media reports I learnt that the party has made this announcement. Later, I cross-checked with the party chief who said that he has not made any such announcement,&rdquo; V Muraleedharan was quoted as saying by ANI. 
Sreedharan, the architect of the Delhi Metro, had formally joined the BJP on February 25 in the presence of Union Minister RK Singh at a function in Malappuram district. He had earlier said that he will work as a technocrat rather than as a politician.

In a move hailed by trans rights activists, the&nbsp;Chhattisgarh Police recruited 13 transgender people as constables across four districts in the state.&nbsp;Out of the 13 third gender recruits, 9 were selected from Raipur&nbsp;alone.
Only two other states in India, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan, have recruited transgender people in the police forces.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel tweeted congratulating the selected candidates and wished them luck. The Chhattisgarh&nbsp;government was the first state to conduct workshops to train&nbsp;transgender&nbsp;people and take in applications.
The apex court in 2014 recognised the transgender community as the third gender and ruled that they too have fundamental rights.&nbsp;

The decision to field Suvendu Adhikari from the Nandigram seat, according to Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh was taken at the BJP&rsquo;s core committee meeting on candidates in Bengal on Thursday.
The assembly elections in West Bengal are set to be held in eight phases between March 27 and April 29. The votes will be counted on May 2.

Dushyant Chautala, whose Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) is a ruling ally of the BJP in Haryana, on Thursday said, he does not believe in the term 'love jihad' and has no issue with someone who is willingly converting to marry his/her partner.
In an interview with NDTV, the deputy chief minister said, Haryana will get a law specifically for checking forceful religious conversion and his party will support it, but if anybody converts willingly or marries a partner of another faith, then there is no bar.
Chautala&rsquo;s statements come at a time when the BJP is looking to table a legislation in Haryana to check &ldquo;love jihad&rdquo;. Chautala has been at loggerheads with the BJP over the farmers&rsquo; protests as well, and has even threatened to resign if their demands are not dealt with.&nbsp;Several BJP-ruled states, including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka, have already brought in legislations against &ldquo;love jihad&rdquo;.

Touching upon the border dispute with the two neighbouring countries, the CDS&nbsp;said that India's military primarily faces threat from China and Pakistan and it must prepare for it. He added that China will continue to assert itself seeking to establish dominance in states surrounding India.

More than 4,000 women&rsquo;s rights activists and citizen groups have called on Chief Justice of India&nbsp;Sharad&nbsp;Arvind&nbsp;Bobde&nbsp;to resign over a comment he made while hearing a rape case.
In an open letter to the Chief Justice, the activists wrote that "it fills them with rage that women bear the burden of having to explain the meaning of &lsquo;seduction&rsquo;, &lsquo;rape&rsquo;, and &lsquo;marriage&rsquo; even to the Chief Justice of India."
Recently, while hearing a rape case the Chief Justice asked the accused he if was willing to marry his victim, who was a minor when the incident happened, sparking a massive outrage.&nbsp;
The activists wrote that by suggesting that the rapist marry the 'victim-survivor', the Chief Justice had sought to condemn her to a lifetime of rape at the hands of her tormentor.&nbsp;
