What’s Next for Eknath Shinde? Uddhav Thackeray’s ‘Reverse Gear’ Adds New Twist to Maharashtra Politics Amid BJP Tensions

Mumbai: The political fault lines between BJP and Shiv Sena in Maharashtra remain unresolved as the state gears up for municipal elections. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde recently appeared alongside Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at the Orange Gate Urban Tunnel Project in Mumbai, but tensions within the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance persist. Amid this, former CM Uddhav Thackeray has initiated a “reverse gear” strategy to reclaim Shiv Sena leaders and workers. After staying largely inactive since the 2022 split, Uddhav Thackeray has become active in the BMC elections. In the past two days, several leaders and supporters from the Shinde camp have returned to Uddhav’s Shiv Sena, creating a stir within the party. While this move has pleased Uddhav’s faction, tensions continue betw...

Chhindwara BLO Turns Up Drunk at Collectorate, Complains About Workload and Senior Officers

Chhindwara: An unusual incident took place late Tuesday evening at the Chhindwara Collectorate when an Assistant BLO (Booth Level Officer) arrived intoxicated, attempting to submit electoral forms to the District Collector. The officer, clearly under the influence of alcohol, raised complaints about excessive workload and alleged misconduct by a senior BLO, declaring that he would no longer perform his duties. Carrying electoral forms in his hands, the BLO approached the Collector to hand over the documents. However, his erratic and disorderly behavior prompted staff and on-duty police personnel to escort him out of the premises. Even after being removed, he continued to mutter incoherently on the grounds for some time. Before reaching the Collector’s office, the inebriated officer f...

‘If Priyanka Didi Is So Famous, She Should Visit Rae Bareli More Often’: BJP MLA Aditi Singh Targets Congress MP

Lucknow: In a sharp political swipe, Rae Bareli MLA and BJP leader Aditi Singh has criticised Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi for what she described as infrequent visits to Rae Bareli, a traditional stronghold of the Congress party. Speaking in an interview with a private news channel, Aditi Singh remarked that visiting Rae Bareli only once a year—or merely during election season—has no meaning. “If she (Priyanka Gandhi) is famous here as Didi, then she should visit more often,” Singh stated. During the interview, when the anchor mentioned that Priyanka Gandhi is also popularly known as Didi in the region, Aditi Singh responded with a pointed remark:“If she is so famous, she should also take the trouble of visiting sometimes — or will she only come during elections?” The BJP MLA furth...

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar Spark Controversy with ₹43 Lakh ‘Santos de Cartier’ Watches, BJP Criticizes

Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar have once again found themselves embroiled in controversy over their expensive wristwatches.

Is There Still Uncertainty Around Nitish Kumar? The Truth Behind the ‘85+35+6 = 126’ Formula Explained

Patna: Political uncertainty around Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar refuses to fade. Despite his repeated assurances since 2024 that he will “not repeat past mistakes,” skepticism persists—largely because Nitish has switched alliances multiple times, from BJP to RJD and back. His earlier “till my last breath” declaration, followed by yet another political reversal, has only fueled public doubt. The Numbers Fuelling Speculation: 85 + 35 + 6 = 126 Political analysts are deeply engaged in interpreting new numerical combinations circulating in Bihar’s power corridors. The widely discussed equation 85 + 35 + 6 = 126 suggests a potential new grouping within the Assembly.Meanwhile, another possible alignment—89 + 19 + 4 + 5 = 117—is also being debated. Although these equations are spec...

“Go, Become BLO Helpers!” — Bhopal Municipal Commissioner Sanskriti Jain Punishes Negligent Engineers with Unusual Assignment

Bhopal: In a remarkable administrative move, IAS officer Sanskriti Jain, Commissioner of Bhopal Municipal Corporation, has introduced a new “culture” of accountability. Taking strict action against negligence, she has assigned 75 assistant and sub-engineers to work as helpers to Booth Level Officers (BLOs) after they failed to provide satisfactory details about their official projects. Engineers Failed to Explain Their Own Work During a recent review meeting, Commissioner Jain questioned the engineers about ongoing civil works. Shockingly, most were unable to provide even basic information about their assignments. Annoyed by their lack of preparedness, she issued an unconventional punishment—deploying them to assist BLOs in the ongoing SIR digitisation work, effective until December ...

Breakfast Diplomacy Fails to End Rift: Siddaramaiah and D.K. Shivakumar to Meet Congress High Command in Delhi on December 8

Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar held yet another breakfast meeting in Bengaluru, hoping to silence speculation about internal discord within the ruling Congress.
