Maestro Ilayaraja's praise for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and comparing him to Dr B R Ambedkar is witnessing both opposition and support in the social media while BJP national president JP Nadda has hit out at harsh criticism. The celebrated Tamil composer, in his foreword to a book 'Ambedkar & Modi, Reformer's Ideas, Performer's Implementation', by Bluekraft Digital Foundation, has made the comparison and lauded pro-women initiatives like the 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao'. The criticism in social media since Saturday against Ilayaraja could be summed up as ideological, which claim that Modi cannot be compared to Ambedkar as the former is committed to Hindutva while the latter is a reformist leader who dedicated his entire life for the upliftment of the oppressed people. Supporters defend the praise for Modi saying the maestro has only pointed out a fact that both the Prime Minister and Ambedkar went on to succeed against all odds through sheer work and despite belonging to socially

Ex-Assam Cong chief Ripun Bora joins TMC, claims leaders working for BJP

Former Assam Congress president Ripun Bora severed his four-decade-old relationship with the party and joined the Trinamool Congress on Sunday, alleging that several leaders of the grand old party are working in connivance with the BJP in the North-eastern state.
