The hoardings, having pictures of Chief Minister and Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray and his father late Bal Thackeray, have come up in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra in the last couple of days.

Soren, accompanied by leaders of his party, the Congress and the RJD -- which comprised the opposition alliance in the assembly polls -- called on Droupadi Murmu at Raj Bhavan to stake claim to form the government.

Soren, who led the JMM-Congress-RJD alliance to a win in the Assembly polls, said he had not gone through the details of the CAA and NRC and he would make a "holistic review" of them.

The political strategist-turned-politician has been a vocal critic of the Citizenship Amendment Act as well as the National Register of Citizens.

As per the latest trends available on the Election Commission website, Raghubar Das was trailing BJP rebel candidate and former minister Saryu Roy by over 10,000 votes in Jamshedpur (East) constituency.

Modi, at a rally here on Sunday, said there was no discussion on a nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC) anywhere and assured the Muslim community that no one needed to worry about the new law.

DMK president MK Stalin led the peaceful rally and leaders of alliance parties, including senior Congress leader P Chidambaram, walked alongside him holding placards against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act.

Sonia Gandhi and other opposition leaders read the Preamble to the Constitution as they vowed to protect it.

The outcome is another setback in state elections for the BJP that lost Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh to the Congress last year, while Maharashtra slipped out of its hands this November.

The Rajya Sabha MP said the new Act addresses the “long-term problem faced by those who left these countries which are on our borders and came here due to a special problem of being religiously persecuted.”

At stake this time is the political prowess of Shibu Soren and the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha in the 16 assembly constituencies of Santhal Paragana.

The clip is from a debate on the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill which was brought by then Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led government.

The farmers who had given away their lands for the development of Amaravati during the previous TDP are demanding that the state government drops the three-capital formula.

The functionary sustained injuries on one of his shoulders and was admitted to Godrej Hospital in Vikhroli, officials said.

Siding with Uddhav Thackeray, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said, 'If he has said so, then it seems we are on the right track and our government will last long.'

In its memorandum, the party said that a judicial probe be initiated on the "illegal action" of the Delhi Police against a "peaceful" protest organised by the students.
