Will Congress lose its only bastion in the NE?

Ever since the BJP led NDA came to power in 2014, the North eastern states have witnessed a saffron surge under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Act East' policy. Since then BJP leads or remains a part of governments in all states except Mizoram. Congress has been in power for a decade under chief minister Lal Thanhawala. But the party faces a stiff challenge from Mizo National Front (MNF) and BJP. Congress has tried to field younger candidates in a bid to ward off anti-incumbency. But will that be enough for Congress to hold on to its lone bastion in the North East?

Joe Root believes there will be no better way for England to prepare to regain the Ashes in Australia later this year than by completing a home clean sweep of New Zealand and India. The England captain will lead his side in the first of a two-match series against New Zealand at Lord's on Wednesday, with five more Tests against India before the English season is finished. India, top of the Test rankings, and second-placed New Zealand will contest the inaugural World Test Championship final at Southampton, southern England, later this month. England, and many of their supporters, have long given the impression that matches against arch-rivals Australia are the only Tests that really count, with everything else a 'warm-up'. But such a viewpoint was labelled "limited, narrow and delusional" by former England captain Mike Atherton in The Times on Tuesday. Root, however, saw no conflict between England's short and long-term goals. "There's going to b...
