The state unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) endeavored to contain the overthrow of what is arguably the largest “political gaffe” by its only lawmaker O. Rajagopal in the assembly on Thursday. Mr Rajagopal appeared to put the BJP in a difficult position by apparently letting the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government and the Congress-led opposition of the United Democratic Front vote on the resolution condemning the controversial agrarian laws (UDF) joined Parliament. Mr Rajagopal expressed his reservations about the wording of the motion but did not register his objection during the vote. He said the laws put an end to the exploitation of farmers in one fell swoop and defended Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dedication to farmers in the face of violent attacks against the central government from both sides of the Ganges.

Also, the train reached destinations quickly and was beneficial for passengers from different districts. Mr Thiruvanukkarasar asked the railway administration to continue operat
