Lenin statue
Nearly two days after Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) dethroned the two-decade-old CPI-M government of Manik Sarkar in Tripura during Assembly Elections, the statue of Vladimir Lenin at Belonia was brought down using bulldozers. It was installed to commemorate the Left's 21st year of rule in 2013 after it won the assembly elections. While CPM described the incident an example of "Communism phobia", BJP claimed that the statue was brought down by people "oppressed" by the Left. The statue of Vladimir Lenin was bulldozed just a day after Manik Sarkar resigned as the Chief Minister of Tripura following CPM's defeat in the Assembly elections. #Lenin #Marx #communism inspired our revolutionary freedom fighters.

Tapas Dutta, a local functionary of the outgoing Communist Party of India (Marxist), told The Indian Express newspaper that eyewitness had told him "that after the statue fell, its head was dismembered from the body".
Meanwhile, the BJP claimed that CPI (M) workers have beaten up 49 of its supporters out of which 17 had to be hospitalised. "The statue remains where it has fallen". The statue was later removed from the spot and was handed over to the municipality. "The others include statues of Rabindranath Tagore, Swami Vivekananda, Vidyasagar and Kabi Nazrul", he said.

New video and voice calling features could be added to Instagram
Facebook-owned Instagram has been continually pushing improvements and features to take on its rival Snapchat. Its new owner, Facebook, obviously has a firm grip on the importance of chat functions native to its own app.
During the telephonic calls, governor Tathagata Roy and DGP A K Shukla apprised the home minister of the prevailing situation and steps taken to control violence.
BJP workers have also been accused of vandalising CPI-M's offices in various parts of Tripura.
"A section of unidentified BJP supporters, who migrated from the CPI (M), were creating unrest in parts of the state", said Bhowmick, adding, "Anyone found to be involved in post-poll violence would be immediately expelled and legal action will be initiated against them".
The tit-for-tat response from the BJP didn't come as a surprise.
