Click here While the leaders and prominent workers of most opposition parties—including three former state chief ministers—have been detained, the BJP office has been functioning almost like there is no lockdown in the state.“None of our party activists have been detained or arrested. We are carrying out our party activities normally. Most of our members within Srinagar city are able to come to office daily. In fact, today, some of our workers came from Tral in south Kashmir,” Altaf Thakur, spokesperson of BJP, told HuffPost India.After weeks of trying to get major opposition leaders to join his anti-EVM campaign, Raj Thackeray, once seen as Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray’s rightful heir in oratory skills as well as whipping up xenophobia, has been served an Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons for Thursday.Coming barely months ahead of the state assembly elections, the summons will not only let Thackeray portray himself as the victim of the BJP’s political vendetta, it will also give his party, which currently has no MLAs in the state assembly, the chance to flex some muscle in Mumbai.New to this email?
