From Nandigram to Bhabanipur: BJP official prepares for tough fight with Mamata Banerjee

Mamata today announced the list of 291 TMC candidates, preparing the ground for a fierce election battle with the BJP in the state. The West Bengal Chief Minister expressed confidence that her party will once again get a comfortable majority. Announcing the names of the party candidates, Mamata said, “We will win more than 226 seats in the 2026 assembly elections. BJP’s seats will decrease in this election. They will get a befitting reply for their anti-people policies.”On the other hand, BJP is confident of winning West Bengal this time and Suvendu will also repeat the achievement of 2021 by defeating Mamata once again. West Bengal BJP president and MP Samik Bhattacharya said, “Suvendu Adhikari will win from both Nandigram and Bhabanipur by huge margins. This is not just about the BJP; it reflects the mood of the people.”But while Suvendu will try to keep Mamata in check in Bhawanipur, she herself may face a tough situation in Nandigram, where TMC has fielded a former BJP panchayat chief.Pabitra Kar, considered close to Suvendu Adhikari, rejoined the ruling TMC hours before the party announced candidates and has been pitted against the BJP leader in Nandigram.TMC said in a social media post that Kar was “dissatisfied with the anti-people stance of the BJP”. Kar, who left TMC and joined the BJP in November 2020, played a key role in strengthening the saffron party’s organizational structure in the Boyal-1 region and is believed to have been instrumental in securing gains for the BJP in the region five years ago. In the 2021 assembly elections, Suvendu Adhikari had won narrowly in Nandigram by getting 1,10,764 votes, while Mamata got 1,08,808 votes.Mamta targets Election Commission, raises questions on timing of administrative reshuffleMamata launched a scathing attack on the Election Commission, alleging that at the behest of the BJP, senior administrative and police officers are being transferred before the assembly elections.Addressing reporters while announcing the list of Trinamool Congress candidates for the 2026 assembly elections, Banerjee wondered “Why are senior officials being transferred just before Eid? Is there a plan to instigate riots before the elections?”The Chief Minister alleged that the list of officers who were transferred was prepared in the BJP office and the decision was implemented only by the Election Commission.He further alleged that some officials were brought in from outside West Bengal to assist the BJP in the electoral process. Accusing the Election Commission of working under political pressure, the TMC supremo said the Election Commission was “playing a good game on behalf of the BJP”.“He should directly campaign for the BJP,” he said.Banerjee also alleged that the transfers were aimed at facilitating the movement of money and arms to the BJP ahead of the elections.

Utah mother who wrote children’s book on grief ‘Are You With Me’ found guilty of husband’s murder

Utah mother who wrote children's book on grief 'Are You With Me' found guilty of husband's murder

Kauri Richins, the self-published author of grief-stricken children’s book Are You With Me, was convicted of the aggravated murder of her husband, whom she poisoned with fentanyl. Her husband Eric Richins was murdered in March 2022, and Kauri Richins published the book a year later. He put five times the lethal dose of fentanyl in her cocktail. The jury deliberated for three hours and returned its verdict.Richins, a real estate agent, was deep in debt and wanted to leave her husband, but did not do so because of money, prosecutors said. She was planning a future with another man with life insurance policies that she had opened for him without her husband’s knowledge. Prosecutors showed the jury text messages between Richins and Robert Josh Grossman, the man with whom she was allegedly having an affair, in which she fantasized about leaving her husband, earning millions in the divorce, and marrying Grossman.

Luxury prisons for rich America: Things Richins discovered on Google

Richins’ search history includes ‘What is the lethal dose of fentanyl, luxury prisons for rich America and ‘if someone is poisoned what is the name written on the death certificate’ etc.After poisoning her husband, she called 911 and prosecutors said this was not “the sound of a wife being widowed.” “It’s the sound of a wife becoming a black widow,” he said. Before his arrest in May 2023, Richins self-published a children’s book about dealing with the loss of a parent. During the hearing of the case, the lead investigator revealed that he had actually paid a ghostwriting company to write the book for him. The book states that it aims to create peace and comfort for children who have lost a loved one and it follows a young boy who questions whether his father is with him during special moments such as birthdays, Christmas, and the first day of school.

India UN speech: India criticizes Pakistan for ‘fabricating’ stories of Islamophobia at UN, depicts Ahmadiyya repression, Afghan bombings. india news

संयुक्त राष्ट्र में भारत ने इस्लामोफोबिया की कहानियां 'गढ़ने' के लिए पाकिस्तान की आलोचना की, अहमदिया दमन, अफगान बम विस्फोटों की निंदा की

India criticizes Pakistan for ‘fabricating’ Islamophobic stories at UN, condemns Ahmadiyya repression, Afghan bombings

India on Monday called out Pakistan at the United Nations for habitually “fabricating” stories of Islamophobia against the neighboring country, while questioning Islamabad’s own record on its treatment of minorities and its actions against Afghanistan during Ramadan.On the occasion of the International Day to Combat Islamophobia at the UN General Assembly, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Parvathneni Harish issued a sharp rebuke to Pakistan and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), while also urging the UN to avoid frameworks that focus only on one faith rather than tackling all forms of religious discrimination.

‘India’s Western Neighbor’ creates stories of Islamophobia

“India’s western neighbor is a classic example of creating imaginative stories of Islamophobia in its own neighbourhood,” Harish said.In a scathing attack, he said: “Wonder what one would call the brutal repression of Ahmadis in this country, or the mass withdrawal of hapless Afghans or the aerial bombing campaign in this holy month of Ramadan?”Harish was responding to Pakistan’s repeated attempts to level allegations against India in multilateral forums under the banner of Islamophobia.He also said that the OIC, which “our western neighbor has systematically attempted to arm against India”, has repeatedly made “false and baseless allegations” against the country.

India warns against weaponizing religion at UN

Harish stressed that the UN must pay attention to “the growing trend and dangers of weaponizing religious identity and instrumentalizing it to serve narrow political objectives by state and non-state actors alike.”According to news agency PTI, he cautioned that politicizing religion does not resolve grievances and instead risks legitimizing “selective, polarizing narratives” that deepen divisions.“The United Nations was conceived as an institution that transcends religion, culture and politics. Its credibility rests on universality and impartiality,” he said.He further urged “caution against frameworks that focus exclusively on one faith, without addressing the broader phenomenon of religious fear in all its manifestations.”India also underlined that the 1981 Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and Discrimination based on Religion or Belief remains a balanced and enduring instrument as it protects the followers of all religions without privileging any one religion.

India highlights its Muslim population, Kashmir e-presentation

Emphasizing on India’s pluralistic character, Harish said India is home to more than 200 million Muslims, one of the largest Muslim populations in the world.He said that Muslims in India, including Muslims of Jammu and Kashmir, elect their representatives to speak for them.“The only ‘phobia’ clearly visible here is against the multicultural and peaceful co-existence that all communities in India enjoy, including the Muslim community,” he said.He said such narratives run contrary to the “fundamental ethos” of India and instead “have perpetuated communalism and terrorist mentality in this country since its inception.”

Afghanistan context adds sharp edge

Harish referred to the “aerial-bombing campaign in this holy month of Ramzan” amid rising tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan.Afghanistan has alleged that an air strike on Kabul’s Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital on Monday night killed nearly 400 people and injured nearly 250, with Taliban spokesmen blaming Pakistan. However, Pakistani media outlet Samaa, citing security sources, rejected the allegation and described as “ridiculous” the claim that a drug treatment hospital was attacked.Pakistani officials said the strikes targeted Taliban-linked military infrastructure in Kabul and Nangarhar and were carried out with “no collateral damage”.

पुलिस हर पहलू से जांच कर रही है
इस मामले में मोहनगंज के कोतवाल राकेश सिंह ने बताया कि पुलिस सभी पहलुओं पर गहनता से जांच कर रही है. पोस्टमार्टम रिपोर्ट आने के बाद ही साफ हो पाएगा कि मौत स्वाभाविक है या इसके पीछे कोई साजिश है. अगर जांच में हत्या की पुष्टि होती है तो दोषियों के खिलाफ सख्त कानूनी कार्रवाई की जाएगी।

Fact Check: Is IShowSpeed ​​invited to Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez’s wedding and planning a livestream? the truth came out

Fact Check: Is IShowSpeed ​​invited to Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez's wedding and planning a livestream? the truth came out
A viral post claimed that IShowSpeed ​​was invited to Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez’s wedding and would livestream it. This quote spread quickly but there was no official confirmation. The claim comes from a meme account using old photos. In fact, the couple is planning a private ceremony after the 2026 World Cup, and the earlier mention of Speed ​​was just a joke.

The rumor spread fast and loudly. A viral post claims that a popular streamer has received an invite to one of football’s most awaited weddings and will be livestreaming it. The quote fueling the discussion is as follows: “🚨 IShowSpeed ​​has confirmed that it has been invited Cristiano Ronaldo And Georgina Rodriguez’s wedding and it will be broadcast live.” At first glance it seemed credible. big name. Big promotion. But the story does not stop here. There is no verified confirmation from anyone involved. No official statement. No reliable source. What exists instead is a familiar pattern in the age of social media, where recycled jokes and edited scenes are dressed up as breaking news. This time, it shocked millions of people.

The truth behind iShowSpeed’s viral claim of attending a wedding ronaldowedding of

The claim is false. This comes from a football meme account known for making fun of things, not reporting on them. The pictures in the post are old and have nothing to do with any upcoming event. They were put together in such a way that a believable but false story was created.Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez are actually engaged; They got engaged in August 2025. From the viral post it seems their plans are more public than they realize.The couple plan to hold a private ceremony in Portugal after the World Cup in 2026. It should be private, well-planned, and away from the noise of constant media attention.IShowSpeed’s connection to the story comes from a funny moment that happened months ago. In a live stream in November 2025, he jokingly asked for an invitation. That moment was funny, not prophetic. No news was received due to lack of invitation.This episode draws attention to a problem that is getting worse in digital culture. The line between news and entertainment is becoming less clear. Speed, not accuracy, is what makes viral posts work. Fans often share things before they’ve even been verified, which helps these types of claims spread quickly.It is easy for readers to understand the main point. Stop and think before you believe. Look at the source. If a story seems like it is, it is usually too accurate or too dramatic. There is no livestream, no confirmed guest list and no public events planned. A private party is about to take place, far away from the imagination of the Internet.

From Jayalalitha’s shadows to the limelight: Tracing the political journey of ‘Chinnamma’ VK Sasikala. india news

From Jayalalitha's shadows to the spotlight: Tracing the political journey of 'Chinnamma' VK Sasikala
This image is used for representation purpose only (AI-generated)

East AIADMK Chief V.K. Sasikala Recently announced the name of its new political party- All India Puratchi Thalaivar Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in Tamil Nadu. The move signals a new phase in his political journey. Outlining her political plans, Sasikala said, “I will work to the best of my ability and use my 39 years of political experience to remove the DMK government.”

.

.

His entry into the state assembly elections comes at a time when the elections are expected to see a high-stakes contest between Edappadi K Palaniswami-led All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), Chief Minister MK Stalin and the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) led by his son. Udayanidhi StalinApart from new entrants like actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK).Sasikala, once a close aide of former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, has had a political journey spanning decades, marked by loyalty to the AIADMK leadership as well as controversies, legal battles and changes in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape following Jayalalithaa’s death in 2016.

From confidant to political contender: Who is VK Sasikala?

VK Sasikala is known for her long association with Jayalalitha and the AIADMK. For decades, she remained one of Jayalalitha’s closest aides and confidants, a relationship that gradually brought her to the center of Tamil Nadu’s political landscape.Born in Mannargudi in Tiruvarur district of Tamil Nadu and a high school dropout, Sasikala’s early life was very different and simple. This association strengthened over the years, with Sasikala emerging as one of the most trusted figures in Jayalalitha’s inner circle and often acting as a mediator between the AIADMK leadership and party workers.

.

.

Following Jayalalitha’s death, the AIADMK General Council unanimously appointed Sasikala as the party’s General Secretary, placing her at the helm of the party founded by MG Ramachandran.Taking over as general secretary, Sasikala said, “Amma (Jayalalitha) is no longer with us but our party will rule here for the next 100 years.” His promotion came amid a leadership vacuum within the party and for some time established him as the central figure in the political future of the AIADMK.

However, Sasikala’s political career has also been full of controversies and legal battles. He was earlier sent to 30 days judicial custody in connection with the color TV scam and later convicted in the disproportionate assets case linked to the Jayalalithaa government of the 1990s. In February 2017, the Supreme Court upheld his conviction and sentenced him to four years in prison, bringing an abrupt end to his bid to assume the post of Chief Minister in Tamil Nadu.

He surrendered before a special court at Parappana Agrahara Central Jail in Bengaluru to serve his sentence.The same year, allegations also surfaced when a senior Karnataka prison official claimed that Sasikala had bribed prison officials for preferential treatment while in custody. His claim has been refuted. He was later released after four years in 2021. Meanwhile, political developments within the AIADMK continued to reshape his role in the party. Nearly nine months after he was appointed interim general secretary following Jayalalitha’s death, the AIADMK General Council passed a resolution in September 2017 removing him from the post and abolishing the post altogether.

A bond between ‘Amma’ and ‘Chinamma’

Sasikala’s political rise is closely linked to the career of Jayalalitha, who is popularly known as “Amma” (Mother) among her supporters. For decades, Sasikala remained one of Jayalalitha’s closest confidants, and earned her the nickname “Chinnamma” (little mother) among a section of party workers who considered her part of the late leader’s inner circle.Sasikala’s association with Jayalalitha began in 1982 when her husband M Natarajan, then a government public relations officer, introduced her to the AIADMK leader. What began as a personal acquaintance soon grew into a close relationship, and Sasikala gradually became a frequent presence at Jayalalithaa’s residence. By 1988, she moved to the late leader’s Poes Garden home in Chennai.

Over the years, Sasikala’s closeness to the AIADMK leader wielded considerable influence within the party. Since Jayalalitha maintained a tightly controlled political circle and remained largely inaccessible to many party officials, Sasikala often acted as an intermediary between the leadership and the cadre. Sasikala often traveled with Jayalalitha and was seen as one of the few people with direct access to the powerful chief minister.Party leaders and candidates seeking posts or election tickets often sent their requests through him, gradually cementing his reputation as a powerful figure behind the scenes within the AIADMK. His influence within the party increased during the years when the AIADMK was in power in Tamil Nadu.

Many leaders who later rose in the party are believed to have benefited from Sasikala’s support. These included O Panneerselvam, who later became the state CM and a central figure in the party’s internal power struggle following Jayalalithaa’s death.Despite wielding influence within the party structure, Sasikala rarely held formal political office during Jayalalitha’s lifetime. Jayalalitha never formally introduced Sasikala as her political successor. His role remained largely informal.However, relations between the two were not without turmoil. In 1996 and again in 2012, Jayalalitha briefly distanced herself from Sasikala, expelling her and several members of her extended family from the Poes Garden residence and accusing them of anti-party activities. When Jayalalitha was hospitalized in 2016, Sasikala stayed with her. After the Chief Minister’s death later that year, she returned to Poe’s Garden.By then, Sasikala had become a deeply embedded figure in the party’s ecosystem – a confidant who had spent more than three decades with one of Tamil Nadu’s most influential political leaders.

Behind bars: Sasikala’s jail saga

In September 2014, a special court sentenced Sasikala and her co-accused to four years in jail along with a fine of Rs 10 crore after finding them guilty of amassing assets disproportionate to known sources of income during their close relationship with Jayalalithaa.After the conviction was upheld by the Supreme Court in February 2017, Sasikala surrendered before the special court at Parappana Agrahara Central Jail in Bengaluru on February 14, 2017. AIADMK aide, her sister-in-law J Ilavarasi and Jayalalitha’s foster son VN Sudhakaran were immediately taken into custody. Before surrendering she paid homage at Jayalalithaa’s memorial and visited MG Ramachandran’s residence. During her four-year jail term, allegations of preferential treatment emerged, with police officer D Roopa claiming that Sasikala had bribed jail officials for special facilities, including a private kitchen.

Despite these claims, his prison sentence prevented him from contesting elections, halting his immediate ambitions to become Chief Minister.After serving her sentence, Sasikala was finally released in January 2021. His formal release took place at Victoria Hospital in Bengaluru, where he was undergoing treatment for Covid-19. Following protocol, she remained in the hospital for some time before re-entering the political arena. A crowd of supporters gathered outside the hospital, raising slogans and distributing sweets to celebrate his return.

Sasikala’s political equation with AIADMK

Soon after Jayalalitha’s death, the AIADMK General Council unanimously appointed Sasikala as the party’s interim general secretary, marking the first time that she formally assumed a leadership role within the organization. At that time, O Panneerselvam, a long-time Jayalalitha loyalist, was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.However, within a few weeks tensions began to surface. In February 2017, Panneerselvam launched an attack against Sasikala, claiming that she was forced to resign as Chief Minister and accusing her camp of attempting to consolidate control over both the party and the government.

.

.

Amidst the increasing power struggle, AIADMK chose Sasikala as its leader and she staked claim to form the government. However, his bid to become Chief Minister failed when the Supreme Court upheld his conviction and forced him to surrender and serve his jail sentence. Before being jailed, Sasikala appointed Edappadi K Palaniswami as the AIADMK legislature party leader, paving the way for her to take over as chief minister.This deepened the divisions within the party. While Palaniswami emerged as the head of the government, Panneerselvam continued his rebellion, eventually leading to talks that resulted in the merger of factions within the AIADMK in 2017.

.

.

As part of the restructuring, the party briefly abolished the post of General Secretary in 2017 which was later revived in 2022.Speaking at Jayalalithaa’s memorial in Chennai, Panneerselvam claimed that he was pressured to step down from the post of CM. He said, “I am placing these facts before you to make things clear to the public. I will continue to fight. If the people, the MLAs want, I will withdraw my resignation.” In the years that followed, relations between Sasikala and the AIADMK leadership remained tense. Both Palaniswami and Panneerselvam had publicly distanced themselves from him and said that the party would work independently of his influence.

Why is Sasikala forming a new party now?

After years of being sidelined from the AIADMK, Sasikala looks to be paving an independent political path as Tamil Nadu approaches the next assembly elections. Furthermore, the abolition of the general secretary post and consolidation of the leadership effectively closed the doors to Sasikala’s return to the party’s organizational structure.

Against this backdrop, the new organization represents an attempt to re-establish its political presence in a state where the legacy of Jayalalithaa and the AIADMK still holds electoral significance. Outlining her plans for the future, Sasikala said that her political experience will guide her next steps in Tamil Nadu politics.The party’s new flag consisted of black, white and red horizontal stripes bearing the photographs of Dravidian icons CN Annadurai, MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalitha.The party’s symbol depicts ‘Thenthoppu’ (coconut grove), indicating “unity” and that the party will function like a “joint family”.Sasikala also launched a scathing attack on Palaniswami for allegedly betraying her after appointing him as the Chief Minister in 2017. Launching the party, she said, “I remained silent for so many years in the hope of unity, but the present circumstances have forced me to take this decision. To remain inactive now would be a betrayal of the party workers and the people of Tamil Nadu.”

Sasikala’s next political test!

For decades, Sasikala worked behind the scenes as she remained closely associated with Jayalalitha and the political legacy of the AIADMK. However, today she appears ready to take the next step by expanding her political sphere.There is going to be a massive face-off between all the competing parties in Tamil Nadu on 23rd April. With the launch of Sasikala’s new political party, she is once again coming into the limelight, this time as the face of her political movement.

उत्तर प्रदेश समाचार: उत्तर प्रदेश के चित्रकूट जिले से शिक्षा व्यवस्था को शर्मसार कर देने वाला एक मामला सामने आया है। यहां के एक प्राइमरी स्कूल का वीडियो सोशल मीडिया पर वायरल हो रहा है, जिसमें स्कूल की प्रधानाध्यापिका क्लासरूम के अंदर एक छात्र से पैरों की मालिश कराती नजर आ रही हैं. बताया जा रहा है कि यह वीडियो करीब 21 सेकेंड का है और इसे देखकर शिक्षा विभाग के अधिकारी भी हैरान रह गए. मामला सामने आने के बाद विभाग ने तुरंत जांच की और जांच में वीडियो सही पाए जाने पर महिला प्रधानाध्यापिका को तत्काल प्रभाव से निलंबित कर दिया गया. इस घटना के बाद पूरे इलाके में चर्चा शुरू हो गई है.

क्लास में चटाई पर लेटे दिखे प्रिंसिपल
जानकारी के मुताबिक, यह वीडियो चित्रकूट जिले के नया बाजार इलाके में स्थित एक प्राथमिक विद्यालय का बताया जा रहा है. वायरल वीडियो में प्रिंसिपल मधु राय कक्षा के अंदर फर्श पर बिछी चटाई पर लेटी हुई नजर आ रही हैं. इसी बीच एक छात्र अपने पैरों की मालिश करता नजर आ रहा है. वीडियो में यह भी देखा गया कि मसाज कराते वक्त वह अपने मोबाइल फोन का इस्तेमाल कर रही थीं. पढ़ाई के समय इस तरह की हरकत सामने आने के बाद शिक्षा विभाग में हड़कंप मच गया।

जांच के बाद विभाग ने कार्रवाई की
मामले की गंभीरता को देखते हुए बेसिक शिक्षा अधिकारी बीके शर्मा ने तत्काल नगर शिक्षा अधिकारी अतुलदत्त तिवारी को जांच की जिम्मेदारी सौंपी। जांच के दौरान शिक्षा अधिकारी ने स्कूल का दौरा कर वहां पढ़ने वाली छात्राओं से बात की और उनके बयान दर्ज किये. इसके बाद पूरी जांच रिपोर्ट बीएसए को सौंपी गई। जांच में वीडियो की सच्चाई सामने आने के बाद विभाग ने प्रिंसिपल मधु राय को तत्काल प्रभाव से निलंबित कर दिया.

ग्रामीणों ने लगाए गंभीर आरोप
