The announcement of the schedule for the Bihar Assembly elections amid the Covid-19 pandemic is a significant step towards the restoration of the electoral process. The state with the largest reverse migration in the country is all set for polls.

Now the question in mind is, will the migrant workers go to support the move of nationwide lockdown by the NDA government? or will punish the government for the sufferings they had to go through during the pandemic?

As per the study, ‘Effects of COVID-19 on migrant households’, conducted through a survey of returning migrants by UNICEF and Development Management Institute (DMI), about half of the households, 51% have lost complete income and 30% faced a major reduction of income due to lockdown. Followed by 12% migrants who have been affected in a minor way and 7% with no impact.

The Central government has almost certainly kept the Bihar elections in mind, launched a scheme on June 20, covering 25 rural-centric employment generation schemes to provide work for 125 days in 25 areas to the migrant workers, as many as 32 of the 38 districts in Bihar are included under the scheme. However, people may not forget what they have to face and the hardships they went through due to this global pandemic...

Let us see, what verdict Bihar's people will give on 10 November 2020.

Big Boss: Nothing but a pointless show with a stupid host

In the midst of the Sushant Singh Rajput death case and the nepotism debate, people have decided to boycott Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 14. Salman has been bearing the brunt of these trolls ever since he has shared the first teaser. In nutshell the show is nothing but a bunch of loosers who were kinda popular for a very short amount of time for one or the other reason! Dhinkchak Pooja.. seriously? Salman - Host? Nope! Favouritism Moreover, the host of the show, Mr. Salman Khan is a very judgmental person, and he expects and wants everyone to respect him, and if one doesn't, we can see list of people who went on record to say how Salman destroyed their careers!!! Well, Salman thinks that he has the right to pass judgment over those people, and is surely biased when it comes to making his judgemental remarks. Big Boss - Negative | Negative | Negative It might have been entertaining for many people but have you ever thought that what value does it add to your life? What are...

RAISE YOUR PAW :- #StopYulin2015

Many of you might be wandering what’s this Yulin festival all about. Peeps, Over 10,000 dogs every year in southern china are tortured alive, skinned alive, boiled alive, even cut/stabbed and then been ultimately eaten. This `festival` is not a festival as the name suggests, The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is, contrary to what many might believe, not even a tradition. It was initiated only in the 1990's by the corrupt looking to find a way to profit off the selling of lychee. Perhaps you might be wandering why the slaughter of Cattle, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, Ducks and all the Fish don’t get so much of focus too , guys the case here is not of being eaten and killed but the Dogs are killed for the "pleasure" of taste and "diversity" of meats. These animals are tortured as much as possible, deliberately. They are skinned alive, and then they are cooked alive. Again, let me repeat that the torture is deliberate. In fact, it is the entire point of the dog & cat me...
