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 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.

Sushanta Pal, known to be a loyalist of TMC turncoat Suvendu Adhikari, described the act as an attempt to &ldquo;atone past sins&rdquo; during his tenure with the Mamata&nbsp;Banerjee-led ruling party. &nbsp;
As Sushanta&nbsp;Pal did squats on stage, some&nbsp;BJP supporters present at the rally chanted &lsquo;Jai Shri Ram&rsquo; slogans. Most others however looked at the spectacle&nbsp;in utter&nbsp;bewilderment.

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;.
