Welcome to the ABP News LIVE for Saturday, February 27, 2021: The Election Commission of India announced the dates of Assembly elections of five states including West Bengal. Elections in Bengal will be held in eight phases from 27th March to 29th April. After the announcement of dates, Mamta Banerjee has raised questions on the Election Commission claiming that the eight-phase voting in Bengal was part of a "conspiracy" by the Centre's ruling BJP but the Congress has welcomed the decision of the Election Commission.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been promoting the idea of making Atmanirbhar in all his public addresses and speeches and in a bid to take the idea to a higher level PM will inaugurate the India Toy Fair 2021 today at 11 AM via video conferencing.

The union government has shown utmost respect for farmers' protests and has been engaged in dialogue with them to address their concerns over the Farm Laws, India told United Nations Human Rights Council on Friday.

In the latest update on international travel, the ban on commercial passenger flights has been extended till 31 March, as per the circular from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) released on Friday. The ban on scheduled overseas flights was expected to end on 28 February after an eleven-month gap.

England head coach Chris Silverwood on Friday rejected talks of lodging any formal complaint to the ICC regarding the Motera pitch but said he had expected the surface to hold up a little longer after his team lost the third Test against India inside two days.

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has been making the headlines for her controversies. Known for speaking out her mind, the ‘Panga’ actress recently took to her Twitter and claimed that she has been ‘shadow banned’ by the online community.

 

The Motera pitch came in for sharp criticism from some former players after England were bowled out for 112 and 81 in the two innings as India crushed them by 10 wickets to grab a 2-1 lead in the four-match Test series.
