While no official decision has been announced yet, the discussions have already triggered a wider political debate across the state. The reported move comes at a time when speculation around Karnataka’s leadership structure has intensified. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar recently held meetings with the Congress high command in Delhi, leading to fresh discussions about possible changes within the state leadership.

इन दिनों सोशल मीडिया पर एक नाम तेजी से चर्चा में है, ‘कॉकरोच पार्टी’। पहली नजर में यह किसी मजाक या मीम पेज जैसा लग सकता है, लेकिन धीरे धीरे यह युवाओं की नाराजगी और निराशा की आवाज बनता दिखाई दे रहा है। इंटरनेट पर शुरू हुआ यह व्यंग्य अब एक बड़े सामाजिक और राजनीतिक संदेश के रूप में देखा जा रहा है। दरअसल, इस पूरे विवाद की शुरुआत उस समय हुई जब देश के एक वरिष्ठ न्यायाधीश की टिप्पणी सोशल मीडिया पर वायरल हो गई। इस टिप्पणी को लेकर कई युवाओं ने नाराजगी जताई। इसके बाद इंटरनेट पर ‘कॉकरोच…

When Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay walked out of the Assembly on May 13 having won the floor test with 144 votes, the headlines celebrated his victory. And it was a victory worth celebrating. But if you were watching closely, the most significant thing that happened in that chamber had nothing to do with Vijay. It happened when SP Velumani stood up to speak in support of the confidence motion and the AIADMK benches erupted in protests. That moment, loud and chaotic and impossible to ignore, was the sound of a 47-year-old party cracking open on the floor…

For the first time in West Bengal’s history, a BJP government has taken charge. On May 9, 2026, Suvendu Adhikari was sworn in as the state’s first BJP Chief Minister at the iconic Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata. Five ministers joined him in the cabinet. Governor R N Ravi administered the oath at the ceremony, which was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Ministers of NDA-ruled states. It is a moment that would have seemed impossible just a decade ago. For decades, West Bengal was considered untouchable ground for the BJP. But slowly, steadily,…

The announcement was made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the presence of newly elected BJP MLAs and senior party leaders, marking the culmination of a long and fiercely contested political battle. Adhikari’s rise to the top job is a story that has…

A significant political transition is underway in Assam as Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma formally resigned from his post. He met the Governor at Raj Bhavan, where he submitted his resignation letter, a step that officially brings the curtain down on the outgoing Assam Legislative Assembly and opens the door to the formation of a new government. To put it simply, this is not a political crisis. Sarma’s resignation is a routine constitutional formality that takes place whenever a new government is set to be formed after elections. Once election results are declared, the sitting Chief Minister submits resignation, the…

She toppled a dynasty, built an empire, and then lost everything — including her own seat — to the man she once called her loyalist. 1984: The rebel rises 1998: TMC is born 2011: Left ousted 2016–21: Empire expands 2024: Cracks appear 2026: The fall From Kalighat to the corridors of power Mamata Banerjee was born on January 5, 1955, in a modest lower-middle-class home in Kalighat, south Kolkata. Her father, Promileswar Banerjee, was a freedom fighter. Her mother, Gayatri, was the backbone of the family. She was not born into privilege, she was born into anger, and she never…

The West Bengal election of 2026 will be remembered not just for who wins, but for the fight over who got to vote in the first place. On May 4, 2026 counting day for the West Bengal assembly elections Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had a simple challenge for the BJP. They had spent months building a case that the state’s voter rolls were stuffed with illegal migrants, bogus entries, and ghost names. Now, she said, they should show their results. It was a pointed line. But to understand why it cut so deep, you have to go back to December…

Exit polls from four states and one Union Territory suggest voters are making deep local choices and national party narratives are playing second fiddle. Four states and one Union Territory. 824 assembly seats. Tens of millions of voters. And if the exit polls released on April 29, 2026 are to be believed, one quiet but powerful theme is emerging from the data: across West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Assam, and the Union Territory of Puducherry, voters appear to be choosing their local representative and regional identity over the big central-party storylines that dominate television studios and social media feeds. This…

A significant development in Parliament has brought attention to an important provision of India’s anti-defection law. The Chairman of the Rajya Sabha has accepted a merger claim involving seven Members of Parliament from the Aam Aadmi Party with the Bharatiya Janata Party, making the move valid under existing rules. At the centre of this development is what is commonly known as the “two-third rule.” This rule is part of the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, which deals with disqualification of elected representatives on grounds of defection. It also provides an exception. If at least two-thirds of the members of a…
