Karnataka deputy chief minister and senior Congress MLA DK Shivakumar has stirred a new political flashpoint by challenging the BJP-led central government to remove Mahatma Gandhi’s image from Indian currency notes. His remarks came during a protest against the Centre’s decision to alter the rural employment scheme named after Gandhi, a move Congress leaders argue undermines the legacy of the Father of the Nation. Shivakumar accused the BJP of playing with constitutional values

Congress, under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, has solidified its position as the dominant force across the state.

Questions continue to emerge at the California Capitol as Attorney General Rob Bonta faces heightened scrutiny over his use of campaign funds for legal services during his recent reelection effort.

The political landscape of Telangana witnessed a notable shift with Congress securing the Jubilee Hills constituency, a seat previously held by the BRS. This victory is being seen as a symbolic boost for the ruling party, especially as it came after a highly publicized and intense campaign.

He stated that the victory reinforces the adm

The Bihar election results have delivered a major blow to the Congress, particularly to Rahul Gandhi, whose Voter Adhikar Yatra covered 1,300 km across 25 districts earlier this year. Designed to amplify his allegation of “vote theft” by the BJP and the Election Commission, the yatra was positioned as a mass-awareness campaign similar to his earlier Bharat Jodo initiatives. However, despite passing through 110 assembly constituencies, not a single seat along the yatra route is currently s

Union Minister Giriraj Singh reacted strongly to the early trends of the 2025 Bihar Assembly election, declaring that the emerging mandate clearly belongs to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance. With the NDA gaining a comfortable lead during the initial hours of counting, he insisted that the people of Bihar had rejected what he termed as jungle raj and corruption, choosing instead a government that prioritises stability and development. Singh, who represents Begusarai in the Lok Sabha,

In yet another provocative statement, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has claimed that his country is fully prepared for a two-front war against India on the eastern border and the Taliban on the western front. Speaking at a public event, Asif said, “We are ready for war on two fronts. Allah helped us in round one and He will help us in round two.” His remarks came just a day after a deadly suicide bombing in Islamabad that killed 12 people and injured 36 others. The Pakis

As India moves into 2026, investors face a familiar yet complex choice: gold or real estate. Both assets have historically served as trusted vehicles for preserving and growing wealth. Yet, their performance and purpose vary significantly depending on economic conditions, investor goals, and market trends. Over the past year, both gold and property values have surged. Gold’s recent rally has been driven by global inflation, economic instability, and rising central bank purchases.

California voters have overwhelmingly approved Proposition 50, Governor Gavin Newsom’s controversial redistricting plan that reshapes congressional boundaries across the state. The measure, which effectively suspends California’s independent redistricting commission until the next census in 2030, has drawn both praise and criticism for its potential impact on partisan balance and democratic fairness.

With 100% of precincts reporting, Democrat Taylor Rehmet and Republican Leigh Wambsganss emerged as the top two contenders, setting the stage for what is expected to be a highly competitive second round.

In a historic political milestone, Democrat Mikie Sherrill is set to become the 57th governor of New Jersey following her victory in the 2025 gubernatorial election. Sherrill’s win marks the first time in decades that a single party has secured three consecutive terms in the state’s top office.

At a high-profile press conference in Delhi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi escalated his longstanding vote chori campaign by presenting what he termed “100 percent proof” of massive electoral malpractice in the 2024 Haryana assembly elections. Gandhi claimed that approximately 25 lakh entries on the voter list were fake roughly one in eight of the state’s 2 crore electorate. Among his evidence was a startling claim that a Brazilian model’s photograph appeared 

Bangladesh has officially withdrawn its earlier approval for fugitive Indian preacher Zakir Naik’s planned visit scheduled for November 28. The reversal came after the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government reassessed potential risks, with security agencies warning that Naik’s presence could draw massive gatherings and create law and order challenges ahead of the country’s first general elections since the fall of the Sheikh Hasina regime. Naik, who faces terror-linked allegations in Ind
