BSP on the Brink of Zero MPs, Yet Mayawati’s Core Strength Remains Intact

Once a formidable “third force” in Indian politics, standing firmly between the Congress and the BJP, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) today finds itself in the most challenging phase of its political journey. After drawing its strength from Dalit assertion and the political landscape of Uttar Pradesh, the BSP failed to win a single seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and is now on the verge of being completely absent from Parliament for the first time in its history. The party’s only remaining Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Gautam, will see his term end in November 2026. With no Lok Sabha presence and no certainty of retaining a Rajya Sabha seat thereafter, the BSP faces the prospect of total parliamentary marginalisation—an extraordinary fall for a party that once shaped coa...

FASTag Glitches Trigger Panic as Vehicles Parked in Patna, Mathura Charged at Toll Plazas Hundreds of Kilometres Away

A troubling surge in wrong FASTag deductions has sparked widespread concern across Bihar and neighbouring Jharkhand, with vehicle owners reporting toll charges from locations hundreds of kilometres away—despite their cars being parked at home or undergoing repairs. The incidents have raised serious questions about the credibility, transparency, and monitoring of India’s FASTag toll collection system, which is operated under the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). Parked in Patna, Charged in Jamshedpur Patna resident Siddharth Kaushal was left stunned when he received a message on Tuesday evening stating that ₹65 had been deducted at the Putru Toll Plaza near Jamshedpur, even though his vehicle was parked outside his home in Patna. “I was shocked.

Foreign Courts Lack Jurisdiction Over Divorce, Maintenance if Marriage Took Place in India: Calcutta High Court

In a significant ruling with far-reaching implications for cross-border matrimonial disputes, the Calcutta High Court has held that foreign courts cannot adjudicate divorce or maintenance matters when the marriage was solemnised in India and both spouses are Indian residents, unless specific jurisdictional conditions are met. A Division Bench comprising Justice Sabyasachi Bhattacharyya and Justice Supratim Bhattacharyya, in an order dated December 15, set aside an earlier order of a lower court that had favoured the wife and stayed the maintenance order passed by a UK family court. The court observed that under the Hindu Marriage Act, jurisdiction to entertain matrimonial disputes lies with the district court within whose local limits the parties last resided together as husband and ...

Karnataka Village Implements Two-Hour “Digital Off” to Boost Students’ Focus

In Halga village of Belagavi Taluka, Karnataka, an innovative initiative is capturing attention.
