MP Rabindanath
Indian politics has always been defined by its unpredictability. Parties that appear unassailable often witness internal turbulence, while seemingly weakened organisations occasionally reinvent themselves. Yet, at this juncture, it is difficult to ignore the growing signs of unease within the Congress, particularly among its ambitious second-rung leadership. The latest round of speculation was triggered by…
There are occasions when Parliament must rise above partisan politics. Protecting the future of millions of students is undoubtedly one of them. Yet, the Congress-led Opposition has chosen to paralyse Parliament for the sixth consecutive day, preventing discussion on one of the most consequential reforms aimed at tackling the menace of question paper leaks. That…
The Karnataka Congress’s prolonged succession battle has finally produced a winner. With his swearing-in as Chief Minister, D.K. Shivakumar has secured the biggest prize of his political career. But the real test begins now. The question is no longer whether DKS would become Chief Minister; it is whether he can successfully navigate the formidable political,…
MP Rabindranath The political tremors in Karnataka are being watched closely in Telangana. In Indian politics, especially within the Congress ecosystem, developments in one state rarely remain confined to that geography alone. Leadership crises, factional wars, and high-command interventions have historically travelled across states like political contagion. The latest developments in Karnataka have once again…
From the silver screen to the rough terrain of electoral politics, the journey is never easy. Cinema and politics may appear similar from a distance because both deal with crowds, emotions and public adulation, but in reality they are worlds apart. In cinema, a hero fights scripted villains, delivers punch dialogues and emerges victorious within…
With the announcement of the election schedule for five states, the political spotlight has sharply turned towards the South—particularly Tamil Nadu and Kerala—where entrenched political equations are facing an unusually volatile test. What makes this electoral cycle different is not merely anti-incumbency or alliance arithmetic, but the emergence of disruptive forces and a perceptible churn…
For nearly four decades, every government in undivided Andhra Pradesh and later Telangana has spoken about cleaning and rejuvenating the Musi River. Yet, despite grand announcements and ambitious proposals, the river that once symbolized the lifeline of Hyderabad continues to flow like an open drain through the city. The latest announcement by A. Revanth Reddy…
As Kerala heads toward its next Assembly election, expected in May with the Election Commission likely to announce the schedule by the end of this month, the state once again finds itself at the centre of national political calculations. For the Congress, struggling across much of India, Kerala remains perhaps the last major political lifeline….
For a state that once marketed itself as India’s youngest economic powerhouse, Telangana today finds itself confronting an uncomfortable fiscal truth. The admission did not come from opposition benches or rating agencies — it came from the Chief Minister himself. When A. Revanth Reddy acknowledged that nearly half of Telangana’s monthly revenue is swallowed by…
The road to the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly election is anything but predictable. For decades, the state’s politics has revolved around the alternating dominance of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). In 2021, the DMK stormed back to power, winning 133 seats on its own and 159 along…
