Outgoing Congress Chief Minister Siddaramiah—who had spent over two and a half decades in the Janata Dal and had a bitter parting with the party, had to announce the decision of the Congress to offer unconditional support to the JD(S) leader Kumaraswamy to become Chief Minister! On paper, the Congress, JD(S) and independents enjoy majority. Not to lose out on an opportunity to place the Congress on the defensive, the BJP has gone ahead and staked its claim to form the government on the ground that it is the single largest party in the newly elected Assembly.

The “disease” of waiting for children to turn 18 before getting them married has led to “love jihad”, a Bharatiya Janata Party MLA in Madhya Pradesh said on Saturday. To save their daughters from getting trapped, parents should fix their marriages early, Gopal Parmar told ANI. “Love jihad” is a term frequently used by Hindutva organisations to allege a conspiracy by Muslim men to marry women from other religions solely to convert them to Islam.

Parmar said no one had heard of divorces when child marriages were in practice, The Indian Express reported. Marriages worked because parents “used to apply their mind” and find “compatible children” for matches, he said.

Rural earnings have dropped sharply since November 2014. An RBI paper shows wages in the farm and non-farm sectors have grown 5.6% and 6.5%, respectively, in the last three-and-a-half years, down from 17% and 15% between October 2007 and October 2013. The reason? The underperformance of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. “This phase is also characterised by low inflation occasionally surpassing growth in nominal rural wages,” the report adds. Other factors that contributed to the slide: a steep fall in prices of food and agricultural commodities, and back-to-back droughts in 2014-15 and 2015-16.
