You can yourself see that the UT's economy, tourism, business is badly hurt."Explaining that Goddess Durga symbolizes the power that protects, Goddess Laxmi signifies the power to achieve one's aims and Goddess Saraswati is the power of knowledge, the Congress leader alleged that the economic policies of the BJP-led Central government including the introduction of demonetisation and GST decreased the power of Goddess Laxmi in the country.He also claimed that the new Central farm laws decreased the power of Goddess Durga, further alleging that farmers "suffered" and have been "hurt" because of these laws which have been "imposed" on them.Notably, this will be Rahul Gandhi's second visit to Jammu and Kashmir since the abrogation of Article 370.Earlier, he visited the union territory on August 9.

The Bhabanipur assembly seat was vacated by West Bengal Agriculture Minister Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay in May, making way for Mamata Banerjee to contest."During the pandemic, our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emerged as a problem solver and the world is appreciating PM's work.
