Explained: Why Akhilesh, Mayawati joined hands
'Emboldened by the BJP victory, the upper castes feel they must assert themselves and regain dominance over the rural power structure.' IMAGE: Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav, left, and Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati Realpolitik can make political parties do the unthinkable, and that is what the BJP has forced upon the two arch rivals of UP politics. The coming together of Mayawati and Akhilesh Yadav for the March 11 by-election in Uttar Pradesh marks a big shift in the politics of the Bahujan Samaj Party and Samajwadi Party, two bitter enemies in UP politics. Twenty-three years after the BSP-SP alliance ended bitterly, the two parties have come together to counter the BJP in the Lok Sabha by-election in Gorakhpur and Phulpur.

(This story was first published in the Times of India on February 26, 2021) Mumbai: With BMC intensifying a crackdown against citizens not wearing masks in view of rising Covid-19 cases, there is confusion among people riding in their personal vehicles over whether masks must be on inside.

Andheri couple said at Kalina, they were penalised for not wearing masks while they were in their car with their daughter. “I did not know the rule and therefore paid the penalty without argument.
