In this episode of Social List, Ashish Mishra talks about Punjab election. The Congress has won six of the seven declared municipal corporations in Punjab. The result of Mohali Municipal Corporation will be declared after repolling. With the landslide victory, Congress has managed to write off Shrimoni Akali Dal. Aam Adami Party, which also tried woo farmers during their anti-farm law agitation, has completely failed to impress the voter. In most municipal bodies, AAP did not even a single seat. A total of 9,222 candidates were in the fray for election to 2,302 wards of the eight municipal corporations and over 100 municipal councils and nagar panchayats in the state. The polling for these seats was held on February 14. A Delhi court on Wednesday dismissed former Union minister MJ Akbar's criminal defamation complaint against journalist Priya Ramani. In his defamation suit, MJ Akbar had claimed that Priya Ramani caused damage to his "stellar reputation" by accusing him of sexual harassment in an article written in 2017 and a tweet posted in 2018. Ramani countered Akbar saying that she said what actually happened. "Truth is my defence," Priya Ramani said. While delivering the verdict, the Rouse Avenue House Court observed that "even a man of social status can be a sexual harasser".The Mandarin duck, first spotted by Madhab Gogoi, a birder and tour guide from the Tinsukia district, has returned to the wetland after nearly 120 years.
