Mamata’s nephew was asking for re-elections for seventh phase in Diamond Harbor. It should be noted that PM Modi in a rally here said that time is being over for aunt-n-nephew to torture public of West Bengal.
Abhishek pockmarked against BJP’s Nilanjan Roy who was being supported by Narendra Modi that day. PM Modi said, “torturous period under the bua-bhatija rule, but the people would give them a fitting answer by putting their might behind the BJP.”

After ‘Didi’ Mamata Banerjee her nephew sends defamation notice to Narendra Modi:
Modi’s rally at Diamond Harbor comes after a day of road show of saffron party’s chief Amit Shah at North Kolkata which ended with a clash between Trinamool Congress and BJP leaders and turned into wild including the wrecking of iconic statue of 19th century social reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar.
Defending Abhishek his advocate in notice claimed that speech was spread in whole media was aimed to harm his (Abhishek’s) reputation. In his notice Abhishek stated “Your speech, punctuated by false, malicious and defamatory content was an embodiment of political calculation and mischievous intent.”
“Your imputations were deliberate and mala fide, perpetrated through thinly veiled references of bhatija (nephew) and didi while being fully aware that Mamata Banerjee is referred to as didi and my client is her only nephew.”
According to notice, “PM Modi’s speech also seemed to suggest that the ruling parliamentarian from Diamond Harbour was “in the habit of encroaching upon public land” and that he was part of a “syndicate involved in organised extortion”.
The notice also said “Such allegations are slanderous, malicious and false, only inhabiting the silos of your party’s collective imagination,” and it also added that usage of words like “goonda” or “goon” does not suits a person occupying prime minister’s constitutional position.
Ahishek Banerjee also took exception to the Prime Minister’s alleged threat of “locking up” his office once are the results of the Lok Sabha elections are announced.
The State Scores Extra High on Gaming-Friendly Industry Index
Meghalaya scored 92.85 out of 100 possible points in a Gaming Industry Index and proved to be India’s most gaming-friendly state following its recent profound legislation changes over the field allowing land-based and online gaming, including games of chance, under a licensing regime.
The index by the UK India Business Council (UKIBC) uses a scale of 0 to 100 to measure the level of legalisation on gambling and betting achieved by a state based on the scores over a set of seven different games – lottery, horse racing, betting on sports, poker, rummy, casino and fantasy sports
Starting from February last year, Meghalaya became the third state in India’s northeast to legalise gambling and betting after Sikkim and Nagaland. After consultations with the UKIBC, the state proceeded with the adoption of the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Act, 2021 and the nullification of the Meghalaya Prevention of Gambling Act, 1970. Subsequently in December, the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021 were notified and came into force.
All for the Tourists
The move to legalise and license various forms of offline and online betting and gambling in Meghalaya is aimed at boosting tourism and creating jobs, and altogether raising taxation revenues for the northeastern state. At the same time, the opportunities to bet and gamble legally will be reserved only for tourists and visitors.
“We came out with a Gaming Act and subsequently framed the Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021. The government will accordingly issue licenses to operate games of skill and chance, both online and offline,” said James P. K. Sangma, Meghalaya State Law and Taxation Minister speaking in the capital city of Shillong. “But the legalized gambling and gaming will only be for tourists and not residents of Meghalaya,” he continued.
To be allowed to play, tourists and people visiting the state for work or business purposes will have to prove their non-resident status by presenting appropriate documents, in a process similar to a bank KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure.
Meghalaya Reaches Out to a Vast Market
With 140 millions of people in India estimated to bet regularly on sports, and a total of 370 million desi bettors around prominent sporting events, as per data from one of the latest reports by Esse N Videri, Meghalaya is set to reach out and take a piece of a vast market.
Estimates on the financial value of India’s sports betting market, combined across all types of offline channels and online sports and cricket predictions and betting platforms, speak about amounts between $130 and $150 billion (roughly between ₹9.7 and ₹11.5 lakh crore).
Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Delhi are shown to deliver the highest number of bettors and Meghalaya can count on substantial tourists flow from their betting circles. The sports betting communities of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are also not to be underestimated.
Among the sports, cricket is most popular, registering 68 percent of the total bet count analyzed by Esse N Videri. Football takes second position with 11 percent of the bets, followed by betting on FIFA at 7 percent and on eCricket at 5 percent. The last position in the Top 5 of popular sports for betting in India is taken by tennis with 3 percent of the bet count.
Local Citizens will Still have Their Teer Betting
Meghalaya residents will still be permitted to participate in teer betting over arrow-shooting results. Teer is a traditional method of gambling, somewhat similar to a lottery draw, and held under the rules of the Meghalaya Regulation of the Game of Arrow Shooting and the Sale of Teer Tickets Act, 2018.
Teer includes bettors wagering on the number of arrows that reach the target which is placed about 50 meters away from a team of 20 archers positioned in a semicircle.
The archers shoot volleys of arrows at the target for ten minutes, and players place their bets choosing a number between 0 and 99 trying to guess the last two digits of the number of arrows that successfully pierce the target.
If, for example, the number of hits is 256, anyone who has bet on 56 wins an amount eight times bigger than their wager.
