One may ask why PM Modi raised the Pakistan-Congress connection issue. It is not that he wants to give importance to Pakistan in Kashmir elections, but he wants to expose the Congress on the issue of Article 370.

To expect political parties to rise above politics on the issue of 'One Nation, One Election', is to ask for the moon. At the ground level, some opposition parties feel that if simultaneous elections are held, they may not have adequate resources to counter Modi.

Arvind Kejriwal won elections by levelling charges of corruption against top leaders of the country. Now he is himself facing charges of corruption in the liquor scam and this does not suit his style of politics.

Arvind Kejriwal claims that allegations of bribery made against him and his party in the Delhi liquor excise scam are false and the entire case is fake.

The first party to raise the flag was Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena, because its case is pending in the Supreme Court. Is a mere courtesy visit of the PM going to make our Chief Justice biased?

After the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, despite deep-rooted anger among the Sikhs about Congress role, the party never allowed Khalistan supporters to take advantage of the situation. Congress never allowed those demanding separate Khalistan to rear their heads. Then why is Kharge trying to obfuscate?

At Georgetown University in Washington DC, Rahul gave the impression that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections were not held in a free and fair manner.

A series of deliberate sabotage attempts to derail Indian Railways has raised concerns of a larger conspiracy. Recent incidents include a gas cylinder placed on the tracks near Kanpur and cement blocks in Rajasthan.

There is a story behind each of the remarks made by both Yogi and Akhilesh Yadav. When Yogi says ‘Tipu’, it refers to Akhilesh’s pet name given by his father, Mulayam Singh Yadav. When Akhilesh says ‘Bulldozer Baba’, it refers to Yogi Adityanath, because people in UP call their CM by this name.

The bill provides for death penalty to those convicted in rape cases where the victim dies or is rendered permanently crippled, imprisonment for rest of life in rape and gang rape cases, life term or death penalty for repeat offenders in rape cases.

Opposition parties, particularly the Congress, had been demanding caste census, and there are indications that the Centre might soon take a call on caste census issue. But the question remains whether the Centre will put caste census statistics in public domain?

By tendering public apology, PM Modi has sought to effectively counter the opposition move. Shivaji is an emotional issue that touches the chords in every Maharashtrian's heart.

When President Droupadi Murmu mentioned about the gruesome crime committed against the daughter of Bengal and said “enough is enough”, politicians from Trinamool Congress questioned her intentions.

On Wednesday, Mamata Banerjee named Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said, “if Bengal is allowed to burn, Delhi, Bihar, UP, Odisha and Northeast will also burn”.

Yogi, in his typical style, said, “Ek Rahengey, Toh Nek Rahengey, Batengey Toh Katengey” (If we remain united, everything will be fine, if we remain divided, we will be destroyed).

The parents exposed the reality of the claims made by the West Bengal government before the Supreme Court, about when the first phone call was made to them from the hospital, who made the call, and what they were told.

One must not forget that it was the Mamata government which initially opposed handing over the case to the CBI. When political leaders apply double standards, it is difficult to change the overall mindset.

The bench presided by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud assured the doctors that once they rejoin duty, the apex court would ensure that no punitive action is taken against them.
