Meghalaya Governor Satya Pal Malik is at it again. Malik, who has been attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government at the Centre over the farmers' issues, on Sunday again took a swipe at his own party.
The outspoken governor alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was “arrogant” when he met him to discuss the farmer protests and that he ended up having an argument with him.
"When I went to meet the Prime Minister to discuss the farmer issue, I ended up fighting with him within five minutes. He was very arrogant. When I told him that 500 of our own (farmers) had died… he said, ‘Did they die for me?’ I told him yes, since you are the king. I ended up having an argument with him. He told me to meet Amit Shah and I did),” he said while addressing a social function at Dadri in Haryana.
Malik added that the Centre will have to work with honesty to withdraw cases registered against farmers during the agri laws protest and give a legal framework to MSP for crops.
He warned the Centre that the farmers' agitation has only been suspended, and if there is any injustice, it will start again.
Malik has attacked the Union government multiple times in the recent past over the farm laws. In November, speaking in Jaipur, he had said the Centre will have to eventually concede to the farmers’ demands.

The Allahabad High Court on Thursday urged the central government to stop political rallies and postpone elections in Uttar Pradesh amid rising cases of the new Omicron variant of Covid-19.
The court said the number of patients infected with Omicron are increasing and there is a possibility of a third wave.
The court cited countries like China, Netherlands, and Germany that have imposed complete or partial lockdowns due to the rising cases.
The gram panchayat elections in Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal Assembly polls also contributed to a rise in infections that led to many deaths due to Covid-19 during the second wave, the court pointed out.
Appreciating Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the Covid-19 vaccination campaign, the court requested him to consider stopping rallies, gatherings and postponing the upcoming state elections, taking strong measures in view of the pandemic situation.
As the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections are nearing, all the political parties are mobilising lakhs of people by holding rallies and meetings where it is not possible to follow Covid protocols, including social distancing.
The court warned that if this is not stopped in time, the consequences could be more dire than the second wave.
The court requested the Election Commission of India to immediately stop such rallies and gatherings and also order political parties to campaign through TV channels and newspapers.
The court said, if possible, the elections that are expected to be held in February next year could be postponed by a couple of months because only if there is life, then the election rallies and meetings can take place and the right to life has also been given under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution.

The Prime Minister is the leader of the nation and not of a political party and citizens "need not be ashamed" to carry a vaccination certificate with his photograph and "morale boosting message", the Kerala High Court said on Tuesday and dismissed a plea seeking removal of PM's photo from the Covid-19 immunisation certificates.
"Nobody can say that a Prime Minister is a Congress Prime Minister or a BJP Prime Minister or the Prime Minister of any political party. But once a Prime Minister is elected as per the constitution, he is the Prime Minister of our country and that post should be the pride of every citizen.
".. they can differ on the policies of the government and even the political stand of the Prime Minister. But the citizens need not be ashamed to carry a vaccination certificate with the photograph of the Prime Minister with a morale boosting message, especially in this pandemic situation," the high court said.
It also said that when Covid-19 pandemic can be eliminated only by vaccination, if the PM gave a message with his photograph, in the certificates, that with the help of medicine and strict control, India will defeat the virus, "what is wrong with it?" The court dismissed the petition with a cost of Rs 1 lakh, saying it was "frivolous", filed with "ulterior motives", "publicity oriented" and the petitioner probably also had a "political agenda".
"According to my opinion, this is a frivolous petition filed with ulterior motives and I have a strong doubt that there is a political agenda also to the petitioner. According to me, this is a publicity oriented litigation. Therefore, this is a fit case that is to be dismissed with a heavy cost," the judge said.
The court said in case of failure to deposit the cost within the stipulated period, KeLSA shall recover the amount from his assets by initiating revenue recovery proceedings against him.
It also said that the "petitioner should study the respect to be given to the Prime Minister and others by watching at least the parliamentary proceedings, which are available live on national TV".

Kerala HC dismisses plea against PM pic on vaccine certificate

The Kerala High Court on Tuesday slapped a one lakh fine on a petitioner who filed a plea to remove Prime Minister Narendra Modi's photo from Covid-19 vaccination certificates.
The court dismissed the petition terming it "frivolous", "politically motivated" and a "publicity interest litigation".
"Nobody can say that a Prime Minister is a Congress Prime Minister or a BJP Prime Minister or the Prime Minister of any political party, the court said. It added that "once a Prime Minister is elected as per the constitution, he is the Prime Minister of our country and that post should be the pride of every citizen".
The court further added that the "citizens need not be ashamed to carry a vaccination certificate with the photograph of the Prime Minister with a morale boosting message, especially in this pandemic situation".
The petition had been filed by RTI activist Peter Myaliparampil, who said that to have PM Modi's picture on the certificate when people had to pay for the vaccines at private hospitals, was a violation of fundamental rights.

The Prime Minister is the leader of the nation and not of a political party and citizens "need not be ashamed" to carry a vaccination certificate with his photograph and "morale boosting message", the Kerala High Court said on Tuesday and dismissed a plea seeking removal of PM's photo from the Covid-19 immunisation certificates.
"Nobody can say that a Prime Minister is a Congress Prime Minister or a BJP Prime Minister or the Prime Minister of any political party. But once a Prime Minister is elected as per the constitution, he is the Prime Minister of our country and that post should be the pride of every citizen.
".. they can differ on the policies of the government and even the political stand of the Prime Minister. But the citizens need not be ashamed to carry a vaccination certificate with the photograph of the Prime Minister with a morale boosting message, especially in this pandemic situation," the high court said.

It also said that when Covid-19 pandemic can be eliminated only by vaccination, if the PM gave a message with his photograph, in the certificates, that with the help of medicine and strict control, India will defeat the virus, "what is wrong with it?" The court dismissed the petition with a cost of Rs 1 lakh, saying it was "frivolous", filed with "ulterior motives", "publicity oriented" and the petitioner probably also had a "political agenda".
"According to my opinion, this is a frivolous petition filed with ulterior motives and I have a strong doubt that there is a political agenda also to the petitioner. According to me, this is a publicity oriented litigation. Therefore, this is a fit case that is to be dismissed with a heavy cost," the judge said.
The court said in case of failure to deposit the cost within the stipulated period, KeLSA shall recover the amount from his assets by initiating revenue recovery proceedings against him.
It also said that the "petitioner should study the respect to be given to the Prime Minister and others by watching at least the parliamentary proceedings, which are available live on national TV".

After Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi with his 'Hindu versus Hindutvawadi' salvo, the BJP has hit back asking him to apologise.
"On one side is Hindu. On the other is Hindutvawadi. On one side is truth, love and non-violence and on the other is falsehood, hatred and violence," Rahul Gandhi had said in Amethi.
"Hindutvawadi bathes alone in Ganga, but a Hindu will bathe with crores of others," Gandhi said at a public gathering, taking a swipe at the prime minister who recently inaugurated the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor in Varanasi after taking a holy dip.
"Narendra Modi Ji says that he is a Hindu, but when did he protect the truth.... (Is he) Hindu or Hindutvawadi?" Gandhi said at a public gathering, raising the issue of jobs, China's incursions and farm laws. Mahatma Gandhi was a Hindu as he fought against injustice while a Hindutvawadi is like Nathu Ram Godse who used to lie, spread violence and had assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, the Congress leader said.
Slamming Rahul Gandhi, union minister Smriti Irani tok a swipe saying real Hindus are not those who wear Janeu (sacred thread) over their coats during election season. "Real Hindus are those who make roads and schools for all to benefit," she said.
UP deputy CM Dinesh Sharma hit back at the Congress leader saying: "Rahul Gandhi's remark is condemnable &amp; deserves criticism. Elections will come &amp; go, he should immediately apologize to PM Modi".
The war over Hindu Vs Hindutvawadi has been raging between the Gandhis and the BJP leaders.
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi defended her brother. "Hinduism teaches honesty &amp; love amongst all. RSS&amp;BJP members do politics in the name of religion;they aren't on the path of righteousness or honesty. Rahul Ji is just trying to show the difference," she said in Rae Bareli.

In the run-up to the Uttar Pradesh&nbsp;Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi literally has one foot in&nbsp;Purvanchal,&nbsp;inaugurating mega projects and schemes.
from Kashi Vishwanath Corridor to AIIMS in Gorakhpur,&nbsp; Pruvanchal Expressway, International Airport at Kushinagar to nine medical colleges from Siddharthnagar to mega national health plan from Varanasi...
BJP is firmly focussed on Purvanchal. Before we look at why, here's a look at the region.&nbsp;
15 districts of Eastern UP make up Purvanchal. These are:Azamgarh, Ballia, Basti, Chandauli, Deoria, Ghazipur, Gorakhpur, Jaunpur, Kushinagar, Maharajganj, Mau, Mirzapur, Sant Kabir Nagar, Sant Ravidas Nagar-Bhadohi, Siddharth Nagar, Sonbhadra and Varanasi
So why is BJP focusing on&nbsp;Purvanchal&nbsp;in the run-up to the polls...
First reason is the farmer anger in Western UP. The protests against farm laws which went on a year have made BJP jittery about its prospects in the Western region, which the party had swept in 2017 Assembly and 2019 Lok Sabha polls on the back of polarisation after the 2013 riots...
Lakhimpur killings and administrative response have further enraged the farmers and BJP may see that impacting its poll prospects further in Western UP and Terai region...
The BJP wants to offset likely losses in the West by retaining its stronghold in the East... So focus&nbsp;Purvanchal
PM's Lok Sabha seat Varanasi also falls in the Purvanchal, so a renewed vigour in the BJP to capitalise on PM's popularity in the region.
BJP's popularity in&nbsp;Purvanchal&nbsp;can be gauged by the fact that in last elections, the party had swept the region.
Of the 164 seats in the region, BJP won 115 seats.
SP got 17, BSP 14 and Congress just 2. 16 went to other smaller groups.
But what may add to the BJP's worries this time is that over the last 3 decades,&nbsp;Purvanchal&nbsp;voters have not stuck with any party for two elections.
The BJP aims to reverse the trend by projecting "The Purvanchal Vikas Model" of Expressways, Airports and Medical colleges.
The BJP has also kept its alliances with parties like Apna Dal and Nishad Party to keep its base intact in&nbsp;Purvanchal...
Apna Dal, which is a part of the NDA, had won 9 seats in the 2017 election. The Anupria Patel-led party has its base in the Kurmis, an OBC community, and has pockets of influence in eastern UP.
The Nishad party, led by Sanjay Nishad, commands loyalty of riverine community of boatmen and fishermen and has influence in a few east UP regions. The party had won just 1 seat in 2017 polls.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Modi government on issues ranging from farmers to suspension of Opposition MPs.
Addressing a Congress parliamentary party meeting, Sonia Gandhi called the suspension of 12 MPs “unprecedented and unacceptable”. She added that the Congress stands in solidarity with the suspended MPs.
The suspended members of Parliament from Rajya Sabha comprise six from the Congress, two each from Trinamool Congress and Shiv Sena, and one each from the CPI and the CPM.
The members were suspended for alleged unruly conduct towards the end of the monsoon session in August when marshals were called after Opposition members stormed the Well of the House
On the farmers issue, Sonia called the Modi government "insensitive" and demanded compensation for those killed during the anti-farm laws agitation. She also reiterated Congress' support to the farmers demand for legally guaranteed MSP.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today inaugurate three megaprojects in Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's home turf Gorakhpur in the run-up to the Assembly polls next year.
The three ambitious projects include an AIIMS, a major fertiliser plant and ICMR's regional unit Regional Medical Research Centre.
All the three projects combined are worth over Rs 9,600 crore.
The fertiliser plant worth Rs 8,603 crore will produce 12.7 lakh metric tons of neem-coated urea per year, state officials said, adding the project will not only bring prosperity to farmers’ lives but also create 20,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities for youths.
The Gorakhpur AIIMS, built for Rs 1,011 crore, will benefit not only the people of eastern UP but also a huge population of Bihar, Jharkhand and Nepal with its world-class health facilities.
Similarly, the regional medical research centre worth Rs 36 crore will facilitate the test and research of vector-borne diseases.
