Left, Right & Centre

There is now an open revolt among the Muslim stakeholders on whether to go in for a review of the Ayodhya verdict and in what form. So much so , that the man who passionately argued this favours for the Muslims in the Supreme Court, Rajeev Dhawan, now claims that he was sacked from his position despite the fact that he worked tirelessly and selflessly on this case for 40 days and nights. A section still wants him to represent them in the review petition, but Mr Dhawan now says he does not want to be involved in a divided house. Why are the Muslim stakeholders and parties so confused about their position? Even before the verdict was out, we saw how there were different voices coming in from the Sunni Central Waqf Board. How should this confusion be read?

On a day when the Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray has been sworn in as the Chief minister of Maharashtra at a ceremony in Mumbai's Shivaji Park, on Left, Right and Centre we look at the new formed government of Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress and what it means for the nation and the political ideologies across the state of Maharashtra.

After the controversial remark made by BJP MP Pragya Thakur on Nathuram Godse in Parliament, her party has taken a step to remove her from the defence panel. On Left, Right and Centre we ask if this token step is enough or whether the BJP needs to take a concrete action against her?

On Left, Right and Centre, we look at the recent controversy surrounding Pragya Singh Thakur after she called Godse a patriot in the Parliament today. Will Prime Minister Narendra Modi 'never forgive' her again for such remarks?

After an apparent end to the political turmoil in Maharashtra, we look at how the recent developments will impact the nation.

On Left, Right and Centre, Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi talks about how there is a complete mandate for the BJP and its alliance since the pre-polls and why Maharashtra deserves a strong and stable government - which Devendra Fadnavis has been providing for the past five years.

Despite the BJP-Ajit Pawar camp claiming the numbers, the NCP-Congress-Shiv Sena paraded their MLAs in Mumbai's Grand Hyatt Hotel lobby in a massive show of strength. So, who really has the numbers in Maharashtra?

Mukul Rohatgi, the lawyer for BJP MLAs and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis talks about the Governor's action and what the right step is in the legal battle of Maharashtra government formation, during which, according to him, Shiv Sena and the Congress have been playing games and the floor test will prove who is right and who is wrong.

The Supreme Court on Sunday said the Centre must produce the letters of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis claiming majority, as well as that of the Governor inviting Fadnavis to form government on Monday. It was hearing a petition of the Shiv Sena, Congress and Sharad Pawar's NCP against the extraordinary manner in which government formation took place in Maharashtra on Saturday. The letters have to be submitted by 10:30 am on Monday, the court said.

In a move that stunned everyone today, BJP's Devendra Fadnavis took oath as Chief Minister of Maharashtra again and NCP's Ajit Pawar took oath as his deputy. All eyes now on the Supreme Court, the floor test and resort politics that keep everyone guessing.

Sharad Pawar says Uddhav Thackeray will be the alliance chief minister for Maharashtra, but says other issues still remain to be sorted out. There will be another meeting between Sena-NCP-Congress on Saturday.

Home Minister Amit Shah says that after Assam, the National Register of Citizens will now be extended to the rest of the country. Is this at all practical and ultimately, is this goal more about narrow political interests and less about removing infiltrators?

From the creation of our nuclear submarine reactor to weapons developed post-Pokhran, to reports of how he's been targeted by North Korean hackers, one of our nuclear greats, Anil Kakodkar speaks to NDTV in an exclusive interview.

It is now almost a done deal - the Congress, Sena and NCP say they will form a government in Maharashtra. But there are compromises. The Sena has problems with the word secular to define the equation - that's key to what the Congress is. And talks about the post of a full five year term for the Maharashtra Chief Minister have still not been resolved.

A huge controversy has emerged over electoral bonds. Did the government push through electoral bonds ahead of assembly elections, in the process introducing a system which the RBI governor has said is fraught with many risks? Tonight, the trail of disagreement in the Election Commission, and RBI and elsewhere with this government decision which, some say, can result in money laundering - foreign money entering our political scene, where the actual identity of the donor may be hidden forever.
