Sources reveal that the total budget of these songs is around 14 crores. Sources also state that the responsibility of composing these songs has been entrusted to the three renowned stars of Punjabi music. This trio is Jani Johan, B Prak, and Arvind Kheda, all three have formed a company called Desi Melodies. The leader of this team is 31-year-old Jani Johan of Bhatinda, who is a lyricist and music composer, B Prak i.e. Prateek Bachchan who is a well-known singer from Chandigarh, who sung hit songs like ‘Teri Mitti Mein …’ in the film Kesari.

On January 26, as soon as the agitation of the farmers turned violent or was made violent, the Yogi government asked the administration to vacate the Ghazipur border in a hurry. Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait was requesting the administration with folded hands that they should be given a day or two to clear the border. But meanwhile, the strategists of the central government connected their wires with Naresh Tikait, the elder brother of Rakesh Tikait. Naresh Tikait is the head of the Balian Khap Panchayat as well as the current National President of the Indian Farmers Union, so Naresh Tikait issued a decree in front of the agitating farmers on the 27th asking the farmers to return to their homes because Bhanu Pratap Singh faction had also given the same call to the farmers, thus on the call of their leaders, the farmers started returning to their homes. At the same time, the eyes of the farmers on the Singhu and Tikri border were set on the Tikait brothers, and in the meantime, a video of Rakesh Tikait went viral where he was seen crying. Seeing this video, farmers of Western UP started returning back to the dharna site. Seeing that an exact opposite of what he had directed was happening, Naresh Tikait, had to announce that ‘my brother’s tears would not go in vain.’ After that, thousands of farmers started marching back to Delhi. This was a historic gathering and the unity of farmers’ was being viewed in political parlance. Seeing the huge enthusiasm of the Jat farmers of western UP, the social media started claiming that the farmer politics of VM Singh and Bhanu Pratap has come under threat, but Naresh Tikait’s last-minute tactics came in as their savior.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar is also being considered to have played a major role in making the farmers’ 7 December tractor rally a success. Earlier, the Khattar government used police force on a large scale to prevent farmers from heading to Delhi. The farmers were baton charged and tear gas shells were fired, the police administration dug up roads to prevent farmers’ tractors. Due to which there was a lot of dissatisfaction among a section of MLAs supporting the Haryana government, especially Dushyant Chautala’s party. This time, when Khattar dealt with the farmers with a change of attitude, he was summoned to Delhi and on Friday the high command took a good ‘class’ of him.

Even after the icy rain of Delhi and the cold stance of the government, the heat of the farmer movement remains intact. After several rounds of negotiation failures, where the government is looking at the court, farmer leaders feel that their hearing should not be in the court, but in the temple of democracy, although initially the court seems to be in favor of the movement, but the farmers feel that the greatest beauty of democracy is that it can be talked about on the streets. On January 26, farmers are talking about taking out a rally with one lakh tractors. A farmer leader says that they have ration till May to sit on the dharna and there is a bigger reason to continue since now the number of these union has increased to 100 from the initial 100 which means that the protest is increasing and the protesters are also motivated.

In Bengal, the BJP had a lot of expectations from Sourav Ganguly, but at the last moment their expectations have begun to fade. The BJP and its top leaders in Bengal have wielded full power, and its results are also showing, as Didi can be seen worried. Even the atmosphere in Bengal has turned a little saffron. The only major challenge before the BJP is that it does not have a face, to project as the chief minister in Bengal. Former Indian cricket team opener and current BCCI president Sourav Ganguly could provide new hope to BJP. But for some time, he was under a lot of mental pressure, even though he is more close to the Left than thought, while living in Bengal, he did not want to hate Mamata didi and in his house too, especially his dear daughter has been openly opposed to the views of RSS and BJP. In such a sitruation, Sourav’s sickness came as a surprise to many, even when Bengal Governor OP Dhankhar came out of the hospital after meeting Sourav, he also felt the former team India captain was fit.

Rajinikanth, the superstar of Tamil films, was continuously preparing the ground of his political party for the last 2 years and on 31 December 2017, he had announced to enter politics and form his new party. His plan was to launch his party last year, he made BJP’s Arjunamurthy the convenor of this new party, and handed over the responsibility of looking after his party to Tanilaswi Mannion, founder of Gandhi Makkal Iyakam. Sources reveal that Rajinikanth also had an extra attachment to PM Modi and also liked the BJP as a party. S Gurumurthy from BJP and Sangh was constantly in touch with Rajinikanth. Sources reveal that Rajni was conducting public opinion polls in successive states, and in those surveys, he could not get a sense of the complete bloom of ‘saffron lotus’. If sources are to be believed, he then gave up his intention to raise his new party. Sources also say that Rajni’s wife Lata Rajinikanth met Gurumurthy and asked for a big financial help to build the party. Gurumurthy also spoke to the central leadership of the BJP, but the help could not be provided. The BJP leadership felt that it was not right to place such a big bet on a party that was not formed yet, and Rajinikanth also pulled his feet back, sensing the gravity of the case.

This 23 January is the 125th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to Kolkata to commemorate the occasion, where the PM will address a public meeting. BJP’s plan is to take this address of PM to the villages and hamlets of Bengal. For this, the speech will be broadcast live on various news channels and will be made accessible to the common people’s mobile through social and digital media. BJP workers and the leaders will ensure in the villages and hamlets that no Bengali is deprived of listening to Modi. PM Modi himself is taking the election of Bengal very seriously and even this time PM did not send any congratulatory message to the Chief Minister of Bengal on the occasion of her birthday. On the other hand, Mamta Banerjee is also engaged in efforts to make Netaji’s 125th birth anniversary memorable. Mamta has formed a committee on Netaji’s nephew Subroto Bose, Nobel laureate and many famous artists of Bengal who will ensure how to make Netaji’s birthday a memorable one. Didi plans to set up an international university like Harvard in Netaji’s name. Notably, on March 21, Mamta herself will lead a big foot march, which will leave from Netaji’s house and culminate at Subhash Chowk. Remembering Netaji during upcoming eletion season is an obvious decision.
