#WATCH | Chandigarh | On the Punjab Assembly session, Punjab Minister Harpal Singh Cheema says, "This session of the Assembly has been very successful. Punjab is an agriculture-dependent state. Punjab has made the biggest contribution to the country's food supply. Whether you talk about the Green Revolution, even today Punjab has made a significant contribution, but when it comes to water in Punjab, the BJP and Congress governments have repeatedly tried to take it away... We have brought a proposal regarding this... In addition, the schemes that the Punjab government has brought in the last five years, regarding all these schemes, people from the Congress party, Akali Dal, and BJP keep saying repeatedly that if they come to power, they will shut them down... We will continue all these schemes and not let them be shut down... Today, a total of 7 proposals were passed in the Assembly. The Congress party boycotted the House, even though there was supposed to be discussion on several important issues today..."

We had given notices—proper notices—to the Speaker and Rajya Sabha Chairman, signed by sufficient members of Parliament, but those notices were not entertained. So now we have no other way but to ensure that a symbolic impeachment session is held. We are holding it on the 30th of this month at Mallikarjun Kharge's place because the Delhi Police is trying their level best to restrict and also obstruct any of our activities...At the same time, the INDIA bloc, as an organized political alliance, is also holding two big protests: one is this impeachment session, and the second is a huge rally at Ramlila Maidan on November 1st. I can tell you that this will be the stepping stone to ensure that further protests are also organized and held..."

#WATCH | Patna, Bihar: BJP MP Ravishankar Prasad says, "The results are out in Bihar; the Congress hasn't won a single seat—not in the teachers' constituency, not in the graduates' constituency. They haven't won in Bihar, nor in UP, nor in any by-elections. You simply aren't getting any votes—regardless of whether it’s a ballot paper or an EVM—yet Rahul Gandhi keeps making noise. It would be better if, instead of spreading rhetoric across the country, he focused on strengthening his own party..."

#WATCH | Patna, Bihar | On PM Modi's tweet regarding MLC election results, State BJP President Sanjay Saraogi says, "...The Prime Minister has rightly exposed the dark truth behind the Congress party’s duplicitous character and their crocodile tears... these elections were conducted using ballot papers, with votes cast by educated citizens, socially conscious individuals, and teachers. Yet, even in this format, the Congress faced a complete rout. It is clear that Rahul Gandhi’s so-called political base has become entirely barren; the general public has lost all faith in both the Congress and its arrogant, opportunistic alliance..."

I humbly accept the verdict of both graduates and teachers. It has not come as a surprise for as three seats were held by the BJP. This is NDA's victory not BJP's. I thank all my Congress leaders, MLAs, MLCs and workers who worked for last 10 months and the voters. Victory and loss are a part of democracy. We accept the verdict. We will fix the loopholes. If this is the indication for the next elections, then in Mr Narendra Modi's Teachers' constituency of Varanasi, they have lost badly to Samajwadi party. Then this should be an indication to the BJP as well."

It is El-Congo, the misrule of Congress party in Telangana which is playing havoc with the lives of people. When IMD warned abut El-Nino in 2025, what was Revanth Reddy doing? He was busy wasting money and attacking KCR (former CM KC Rao). He only knows how to abuse Congress. Telangana CM to Maharashtra to meet the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Mr. Devendra Pradhan.

Cyclone Arnab | Bhubaneswar, Odisha | Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), Law & Order, for the Odisha Police, Sanjay Kumar, says, "We have made preparations. While the immediate level of concern appears lower than initially anticipated, strong winds have been recorded, and it is currently raining. We are concerned about the potential for flooding, and there is a risk that trees may fall tonight. Across the seven districts in the southern region, we have taken our 20 primary teams and divided them into smaller units, creating a total of 60 teams, which have been pre-positioned in strategic locations. In some areas, there is a risk of flood-like situations and landslides; furthermore, fallen trees could disrupt traffic. Beyond this, we are placing a strong emphasis on evacuation—a key component of the government’s and District Collectors' plans—and the police are providing full support in this effort. For those leaving their homes to move to safe shelters, we have increased patrols to ensure the security of their villages and properties; we have also established static patrol points. To ensure that communication networks remain intact, we have deployed VHF (Very High Frequency) radio sets, with additional units kept on standby. These are battery-operated, ensuring that communication remains functional even in the event of a power outage, allowing us to relay information from the field to our headquarters. I am confident that with the preparations made—and with our police teams and officers standing ready—we will prevent any significant inconvenience to the general public. Should the cyclone have any impact, we will work to clear obstructions and restore normalcy as quickly as possible, while also assisting the government with relief efforts if needed. We maintain excellent coordination with the District Collector, and we have also established effective coordination with the NDRF teams that have arrived. I am very optimistic that we will be able to provide all necessary support to the people of Odisha..."

#WATCH | Thiruvananthapuram, Keralam | On INDIA bloc's protest against ECI, BJP MLA V Muraleedharan says, "We saw agitations happening during the last few weeks. Since 2014 and onwards, the Congress is disappointed and now frustrated that they are out of power. That is forcing them to go on the path of agitation. If it is against any malpractice in the election, there is a legal mechanism in place. I don't know how many petitions have they filed in the concerned courts, challenging the decisions and outcome of the elections. Mallikarjun Kharge says that all the elections held in the last two years should be annulled. If that is his demand, he should first ask his chief minister to submit the resignation because he says that his chief minister has been elected through a undue mechanism."

#WATCH | Bengaluru, Karnataka: On the NDA sweeping all four Karnataka Legislative Council seats, BJP leader Sapthagiri Gowda says, "They failed to woo the voters, and they are trying to put that on the Election Commission.

So this is how the result is going to be in the 2028 election as well. This is just a trial, and the real picture is going to come in 2028..."

Organising a 'mock parliament' is a practice that has long existed in India. It is employed by students, the youth, and many others, and is considered a constructive process that often yields a significant impact..."

#WATCH | Delhi: On PM Modi's tweet regarding MLC election results, BJP leader Sushil Kumar Singh says, "The Prime Minister is absolutely right. The Congress members should answer this: when the elections were conducted using ballot papers, how many seats did they manage to win? They secured just one seat, barely enough to save face. So, what will they say now? Previously, they used to claim that EVMs were flawed and that elections should be held using ballot papers. Now that the election has taken place via ballot papers, they have still faced a shameful defeat in that. What will these Congress members say now?..."

#WATCH | Delhi: On the landfall progression and disaster response operations for Cyclone Arnab, NDRF IG Narendra Singh Bundela says, "The system has now fully entered the landmass. It has been downgraded from a 'very severe cyclonic storm'—a category based on wind speed—to a 'severe cyclonic storm.' It is projected that within the next six hours—by this afternoon—it will weaken further into a 'cyclonic storm,' and by evening, it is expected to downgrade even more into a 'deep depression.'...The Government of India, with the assistance of the NDRF and the defense forces, deployed four additional NDRF teams to Andhra Pradesh last night, anticipating that it would be the most severely impacted state. These teams were transported via Indian Air Force aircraft. Currently, through the coordination between the state and central governments, NDRF and SDRF teams have been deployed on the ground. The state government has deployed a total of 80 SDRF teams" He adds, "Along with the SDRF, the NDRF, and various district-level departmental forces capable of providing assistance, all are actively engaged in operations within their respective areas. As of yesterday evening, the NDRF had evacuated 38 people in Yanam, where some individuals had become stranded due to the rain. The state government is also periodically sharing information regarding losses and damages through the State Emergency Operation Center; this information is available for public viewing on the website..."

And so again this time, even if the candidate is changed, the voters still supported the ideology of the BJP and NDA. So I just congratulate all of them on behalf of the party."

Currently, a significant portion of the tea produced in Tripura has to be transported elsewhere for auction, which poses major logistical and time-sensitive challenges. With the opening of the Agartala Auction Centre, these issues will be resolved, bringing economic benefits to all stakeholders—including producers, sellers, workers, and small tea growers." (27.10)

Despite the use of ballot papers, the Congress managed to win only one out of 28 seats. Will the Congress finally accept reality?

Will they now engage in introspection and acknowledge that the responsibility for their defeat lies not with others, but within their own party? This is the question that arises..."

Bengaluru, Karnataka: On the NDA sweeping all four seats in the Karnataka Legislative Council elections, Karnataka Minister N. Cheluvarayaswamy says, "Ups and downs are natural in a democratic system. Of the four constituencies, three had sitting MLCs from the BJP. If we had defeated them and won those seats, it would have been an achievement for us. Similarly, if they defeat our sitting MLCs, it is an achievement for them. Defeat is not exclusive to any one party. The BJP has won all three seats where it had sitting MLCs. In our case, Puttanna’s defeat has caused slightly more damage than we anticipated. We have lost, and we must accept the defeat." He adds, "We had been winning consistently in Puttanna’s constituency, and we became overconfident, assuming that he would win again. We also underestimated our opponent, believing that the rival candidate did not stand much of a chance. Some differences within our party also contributed to the defeat. However, there is no reason to be discouraged about the future because of this result. Elections to graduate, teachers’ and cooperative constituencies are local elections, and the results depend on the circumstances prevailing in each constituency. Sometimes they win, and sometimes we win. We should not indulge in unnecessary boasting or confrontational rhetoric over these results. Our responsibility in politics is to fulfil our duties. As the Opposition, we must work for the people, focus on public welfare and raise issues that matter to them. When elections come, we must contest them. We were overconfident, particularly regarding Puttanna’s constituency. We did not have much information about the other three constituencies, but we were confident that Puttanna would win because he had been winning consistently. This overconfidence appears to have affected our assessment of the election."

#WATCH | Gairsain, Uttarakhand: A case has been registered against the brothers of Congress MLA Pritam Singh over allegations of threatening an individual and forcing them to join the Congress. Deeksha Chauhan (Daughter Of Balak Ram Chauhan, who was threatened by the leader) says, "My sister and I contested the student union elections at our college. We ran for the positions of General Secretary and Joint Secretary. We stood as independent candidates, without any support from any political party. My family is a supporter of the Congress party; however, some people told Congress leaders that we had joined the BJP. Consequently, Congress leaders—specifically Chaman Singh and the brother of Rajpal—called my father. During the call, they used abusive language and even threatened my father. That is where this whole issue began—it started with a simple college election, which has now been blown up into a major political affair..."

#WATCH | Delhi | On Congress's defeat in MLC elections in Bihar, Congress MP Manoj Kumar says, "In Bihar, we did not win a single MLC seat... There are clear shortcomings, and we must make improvements... While we are indeed engaged in a struggle, we must also focus on making improvements... It is unfortunate that we did not achieve the desired results in the elections. We need to reflect and deliberate on where we fell short and what the issues were, so that when we head into future elections, we do not repeat the same mistakes... The person in charge and the president did not assign us any tasks. They gave us no tasks whatsoever for the MLC elections, and that is a major error..."

#WATCH | Gairsain, Uttarakhand: BJP leader Madhu Chauhan says, "... We have burned an effigy of the Congress party. There is deep resentment toward the Congress, stemming from an audio clip that has surfaced, involving two brothers of the MLA for the Chakrata constituency, Pritam Singh. The language used in that audio is so crude and offensive that it cannot even be repeated in polite society. And the person speaking is no ordinary individual; he has served as the District Panchayat President and as a Block Pramukh on multiple occasions. As the brother of the MLA, he has long relied on intimidation and high-handed, thuggish behavior to secure victories—that has been the very foundation of his electoral success. This time, however, one family has dared to stand up in opposition; they have found the courage to speak out. It is worth noting that this is a family that has consistently voted for the Congress in the past, yet they were subjected to this kind of treatment. In the days to come, many more such families will come forward, and they will dismantle the Congress stronghold in Chakrata."
