BJP to seek postponement of Bengal civic polls

In view of the Covid-19 situation, a delegation of leaders of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to meet senior officials of the West Bengal Election Commission on Monday to seek to postpone the state’s referendum next month.

“The West Bengal BJP will meet with the state electoral commission on Monday to request a four-week postponement of elections in the remaining cities following the Covid-19 situation,” said state BJP spokesman Samik Bhattacharya.

West Bengal reported at least 3,427 Covid-19 infections on Sunday, bringing the number of active cases to 31,562. At least 33 people died on Sunday. The positive rate was 6%.

In December, the poll watchdog informed the Kolkata High Court that it recommended holding elections on January 22 for five cities – Asansol, Bidhannagar, Siliguri, Howrah and Chandannagar. It added that elections for the remaining 106 civic bodies will be held on Feb. 27.

Elections for the Calcutta Municipal Corporation were held on December 19. The petition to the high court cited the pandemic situation and called for the polls to be postponed to the remaining civic bodies. This month, the regulator issued a new notice saying the votes in five cities will be held on February 12 instead of January 22. The commission has yet to announce election dates for the remaining civic bodies.

The daily number of Covid-19 cases has soared past 24,000, with a positivity rate of 36%. Cases have declined over the past two weeks.

Jennifer Lopez ‘let go of her’ high-heeled ego while working with Ben Affleck

As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.

Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.

The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.

“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”

“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”

After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.

“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”
