BSP May Lose Rajya Sabha Presence: 10 Uttar Pradesh MPs to Retire in 2026, Electoral Math Favors BJP

The year 2026 could mark a historic setback for the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), as Uttar Pradesh prepares for the retirement of 10 Rajya Sabha members. If current political equations remain unchanged, BSP is likely to be left without any representation in either House of Parliament, a situation that would arise after nearly 36 years. BSP Faces the Biggest Impact Among the retiring MPs is Ramji Gautam, the only BSP representative currently in Parliament. His term ends in 2026, and given the party’s extremely weak presence in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, BSP is virtually out of contention for a Rajya Sabha seat in the upcoming elections. The situation has already worsened for the party after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where BSP failed to win a single seat. With Ramji Gautam’s retir...

Rajasthan’s Tigers Set to Become Stronger: MP Tigress Brought In for Cross-Breeding at Ramgarh Vishdhari

In a landmark move to strengthen the genetic base of tigers in Rajasthan, the state forest department has translocated a tigress from Pench Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh to the Ramgarh Vishdhari Tiger Reserve in Bundi. The initiative aims to promote cross-breeding, reduce the risk of inbreeding, and develop a healthier and more resilient tiger population in the state’s forests. India’s First Inter-State Tiger Translocation India currently has 58 tiger reserves, six of which are located in Rajasthan. However, reserves such as Ranthambore, Sariska, Mukundra, and Ramgarh Vishdhari have largely been home to tigers belonging to the same family lineage, primarily translocated earlier from Ranthambore. This has led to a narrowing of the genetic pool. Keeping this in mind, the Ramgarh V...

The AK-47 Officer Whose Name Strikes Fear in Criminals: The Story of ‘The Daring Cop’ Kundan Krishnan

In Bihar, where hardened criminals once claimed fear as their strongest weapon, one police officer emerged as fear itself.

The court made it clear that allegations of rape involving a minor fall under grave offences, making the accused ineligible for anticipatory bail at this stage. Defence Arguments Rejected During the hearing, counsel for Yash Dayal argued that a similar case had earlier been registered against the cr...

“If Things Slip Out of Hand, Nothing Will Remain Under Your Control”: Bombay High Court’s Stern Warning on Mumbai Air Pollution

Mumbai: Taking a tough stand on the deteriorating air quality in the financial capital, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday strongly reprimanded the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) for their failure to effectively curb rising air pollution. The court warned that unless immediate and concrete measures are taken, the situation could soon spiral out of control. A division bench comprising Chief Justice Chandrashekhar and Justice Gautam Ankhad made it clear that while the court is not opposed to development or ongoing construction activities, strict compliance with environmental norms is non-negotiable. “We are not against development, but rules must be followed. You have failed to ensure compliance,” the bench observed. During the...

Ghaziabad: In an era often marked by complaints of administrative apathy, Ghaziabad District Magistrate (DM) IAS Ravindra Kumar Mandar has won public admiration by setting a powerful example of empathy and responsive governance.

Imran Masood Clarifies ‘Priyanka as PM’ Remark, Reaffirms Rahul Gandhi as Congress Leader

Saharanpur: Congress MP Imran Masood has found himself at the centre of a political controversy following his remarks suggesting that if Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were the Prime Minister, Hindus in Bangladesh would not be facing the persecution they allegedly are today. Seizing on the statement, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accused Masood of undermining Rahul Gandhi’s leadership within the Congress. Responding to the backlash, Masood issued a clarification, asserting that his comments were taken out of context. He said the statement was made in response to a specific question about Bangladesh and was not intended to project Priyanka Gandhi as an alternative to Rahul Gandhi. “Rahul Gandhi is the leader of the Congress party, and he is also Priyanka Gandhi’s leader. The entire Congress, i...
