West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday slammed the BJP on its remark of Banerjee dialing Union Home Minister Amit Shah over Trinamool’s national party status.

On Tuesday, BJP leader and Opposition Leader in the West Bengal assembly Suvendhu Adhikari claimed that Banerjee had dialed Amit Shah to request him to restore the Trinamool Congress’s (TMC) national status.

Chief Minister Banerjee while speaking to the reporters at a briefing in the state secretariat said that she was surprised and shocked to hear such statement and she challenged if any such things is proven that she had called Shah, she will resign.

Earlier this month, the Election Commission of India (ECI) granted AAP as a national party and de-notified Sharad Pawar’s NCP and TMC’s national party tag after reviewing the eligibility.

The TMC supremo said that Adhikari is lying and she also spoke about the strong efforts of the opposition parties to come together and stand united against the center ruling BJP government ahead the 2024 general elections.

She referred to her Bihar counter part and JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar’s  recent visit to Delhi where Kumar held meeting with Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Banerjee taking a swipe at the BJP said, their (opposition) silence should not be considered that they are all alone and that whenever they will come, will come like a tornado.

When the West Bengal CM was asked her take on the legalizing of the same-sex marriage, she avoided answering it saying the matter is sub-judice and will only form an opinion once the court finalizes its order as it is  a sensitive issue and she has to take care of the emotions of the people.

Suvendu Adhikari was formerly a Mamata loyalist who before the 2021 state assembly polls defected the TMC to join the Bharatiya Jnaata Party.

India which almost for a decade now, stood second in the list of highest populated nations in the world and China in the first, as per the data released today India has now topped the list officially.

This is the first time ever since 1950, when India in the list of UN’s most populous country has ranked first.

As per the rule, the census data is released in every 10 years, which was due to be released in 2021 but it got delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic as census requires volunteers visiting each home across the nation taking details and accounts of each and every citizen and members in their family.

As per the official data released by the UNFPA, nearly 25% of the population of India is under the age of 14, whereas between the age group of 15 to 64, it accounts to 68% of the total population and the remaining 7% consists of people above 65 age group.

China for a longtime now is facing a decline in its demographic with its plunging birthrate and ageing workforce. In January this year, a report claimed that China’s birth rate recorded an all time low with 6.77 births in every 1000.

In fact, it was the first time ever in the past six decades that its yearly population in 2022 shrank than last year’s population that too over a million count.

In the meantime, some agencies across the world have reported and claimed that the population of India will be in a rising scale for nearly three decades now until it reaches the mark of 165 crore and then would see a declining phase.

The report of the United Nations also suggested that the estimated global population will hit around 8 billion by the mid of 2030.
