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.

Recalling how Amrita Singh prevented Saif Ali Khan from endorsing his movie Pehla Nasha, Deepak Tijori “I was shocked by it.”

Recently, Deepak Tijori revealed some startling trivia about his 1990 film Pehla Nasha. He remembered when Saif was urged not to promote the film by Amrita Singh.

Tipppsy, the next film directed by Deepak Tijori, marks his return to directing. The actor-director is never afraid to speak openly about his colleagues. In a recent Zoom TV interview, Deepak remembered that Amrita Singh had previously advised Saif Ali Khan not to back Deepak’s movie Pehla Nasha.

In addition to starring in several films in the 1990s with Shah Rukh Khan, Rahul Roy, and Aamir Khan, Deepak also portrayed the lead in Pehla Nasha. The actor revealed that there was a scene in the Ashuotsh Gowariker-directed movie when Saif, Rahul Roy, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan made cameo appearances.

According to Deepak Tijori, Amrita Singh prevented Saif Ali Khan from endorsing his movie.

When asked if Bollywood performers were friendly at parties but did not promote one other’s films, he responded, “Yeah, I guess I could probably tell you a personal experience.” I am referring about 1993 here. We were working on a movie named Pehla Nasha back in 1993. Surprisingly, there was a moment in the movie when everyone wants celebrities to attend a character’s debut. We had buddies, and the director was Ashutosh Gowariker. Therefore, I was taken aback when this particular occurrence occurred.”

According to Deepak, Amrita advised Saif not to back him.

He went on, “It seems that Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Aamir Khan were on their way.” Thus, Saif was reading, and this was similar to his interpretation of it when he got ready at home. Amrita Singh, his former spouse, questioned him, “What are you doing?” To what destination are you heading? “I’m heading to a premiere,” he declared. I’m heading out to shoot. I’m going to be involved with Deepak’s debut. “Really?” was her question. In what way is this possible? You know, we never did all these things. Who takes this action? similar to when you go and help someone on a premiere. That was a moment, then, and I was shocked by it. Evidently, something didn’t truly exist back then (days).
