1. More legislators are feeling suffocated in the Congress and would also show courage to leave the party in the coming days, said Rajinder Rana, one of the six disqualified MLAs who switched to the BJP. The Congress rebels and three independent MLAs, who had voted in favour of the BJP in recently concluded Rajya Sabha polls, were given a rousing welcome by the BJP on their arrival here after joining the party in New Delhi. 2. The INDIA Opposition bloc has announced a mega march at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan next Sunday to protest against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's arrest in the liquor policy case. Mr Kejriwal's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday has prompted the Opposition parties to come together in solidarity. Even Delhi Congress leaders, who have been bitter rivals of the AAP leader, have now joined the agitation against his arrest. 3. The BJP's Central Election Committee met to finalise the party's candidates in several states for the Lok Sabha polls. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and BJP president J P Nadda were joined by other CEC members as they went over the list of probables to take a final call. The states for which candidates were tipped to be discussed include Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. The CEC has met twice earlier and has named candidates for 291 Lok Sabha seats so far, including in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Haryana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Kerala and Telangana among others. 4. The Congress has named its UP chief Ajay Rai as the candidate from the Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency in its fourth list for the upcoming elections. Of the 17 candidates on the list, nine are for UP. This is Mr Rai's third direct contest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the general elections after 2014 and 2019. He had lost both times to PM Modi, who is seeking a historic third term with a massive single-party mandate for the BJP. 5. A video apparently shot by gunmen who carried out the deadly attack on a Moscow concert hall has been posted on social media accounts typically used by the jihadist group Islamic State (IS), according to the SITE Intelligence Group. The video, which lasts a minute and a half, shows several individuals with blurred faces and garbled voices, armed with assault rifles and knives. They appear to be the lobby of the Crocus City Hall concert venue in Krasnogorsk, northwest of the Russian capital.
