DMK re-nominated senior leader KS Mastan to capitalize on his deep local roots and ministerial record. He faced a tough challenge from the PMK candidate, A Ganeshkumar (of the AIADMK-led alliance), while the entry of TVK’s B Chandrasekaran and NTK’s Sugumar AP added a new layer of competition. In the 2021 election, KS Mastan (DMK) won with 1,09,625 votes (53.58% vote share), defeating P Rajendhiran (PMK) by a margin of 35,803 votes.

Candace Owens accuses Ben Shapiro of suing, while Laura Loomer takes harsh criticism (Image via Getty)

Candace Owens and Laura Loomer are now in a public fight that is getting more serious by the day. On May 4, 2026, the two posted lengthy messages on X, making strong claims about each other. Owens said that Ben Shapiro is secretly behind the legal action and online attacks against him and his family. At the same time, Loomer fired back, saying that Owens was avoiding important questions and not denying his reports. The situation quickly pulled in other names such as anna kasparian and groups like Turning Point USA. What started as an online debate has now turned into lawsuits, claims of personal data and individual targeting.Owens claimed this has been going on for years and said his family is being targeted financially. However, Loomer said that Owens is trying to play the victim and not answer the real issue. Both sides are now making serious claims without clear evidence shared publicly, making the situation more stressful and confusing for followers.

Candace Owens Accuses Ben Shapiro of Lawsuits and Attacks, While Laura Loomer Hits Back

Candace Owens shared a long post saying that Ben Shapiro is working behind the scenes to harm her. “Each and every one of these bizarre attacks against me and my family last week were being perpetrated behind the scenes by @benshapiro,” he wrote. She also claimed that the legal action against her was being taken through people associated with her, including a lawyer associated with her family.He said the situation was related to problems inside The Daily Wire, including layoffs, although he did not provide evidence. Owens said Shapiro has been trying to “bankrupt” her family and has been “legally harassing” her for years. He concluded his post by saying that his family will not break under pressure and wrote, “You will never break what God has joined together.”Laura Loomer immediately replied and challenged Owens directly. He said, “You’re not denying any of my reporting?” Loomer claimed that Owens told his followers to call his reports fake but did not actually deny the details. He also criticized Owens for bringing religion into the debate, writing, “Happy people don’t have to announce to the world that they are happy.”Loomer added, “For the record, he has not denied any of my reporting. Why should I care that he is a Christian?” It was clear from his tone that he believed he had the upper hand in this argument.Other people also joined the discussion. A user named Jody Chase posted a summary saying that Owens confirmed Shapiro’s role in the attacks and linked it to issues inside The Daily Wire. Another reply by John Mappin noted tensions associated with Turning Point USA and suggested deep disagreements between leaders.The situation became more serious when Owens later accused Loomer of sharing private information about her car and family. Owens said that some of the information shared online was false, but he confirmed that some details, such as his vehicle, were revealed correctly. He claimed that Loomer may have obtained this information through illegal means, which would have involved someone having access to car records.Owens wrote that if this claim is true, it could constitute a serious crime involving access to personal data. He also suggested that similar methods may have been used to obtain details about Anna Kasparian’s family.Meanwhile, Loomer made separate claims about Ana Kasparian, saying she spread misinformation and refused to correct it. Loomer said legal action could be taken and accused Kasparian of working with Owens.For now, all of these claims are coming directly from posts on X by those involved. No official legal documents or verified reports have been shared publicly to support many of these statements. This makes it difficult to confirm what is true and what is not.The feud is still ongoing, and more reactions may be coming as both sides continue to post online. What is clear is that this is no longer just a simple online disagreement, it now involves lawsuits, serious claims of private data and a long-term conflict between well-known public figures.

Guwahati: Double blow at the top. Defeated by Gaurav Gogoi and Debabrata Saikia. A campaign based on sharp attacks – including on the CM’s family – and demands for justice for Zubeen Garg. Very little to show on the ballot. The Congress is left with a narrow, largely Muslim-dominated base and shrinking reach in Assam.The party won 19 seats – all Muslim-majority constituencies. Its footprint, once tight to the pockets once shared with the AIUDF, has now faded, giving the Congress a consolidated but limited vote bank.cm Himanta Biswa SarmaThe process of continuously sending messages appears to have ended. He branded the Congress a ‘Miya’ party – a term for the Bengali-speaking Muslims of Bangladesh. The label stuck, weakening the Congress’s ability to expand among indigenous tribal and Hindu voters.Delimitation in 2023 further aggravated the problem. Muslim-dominated seats dropped from 35 to 22, limiting the party’s electoral scope. Muslims account for about 30% of the Assam electorate – about 75 lakh voters – and remain influential in these constituencies, but the concentration has left the Congress politically isolated.Lately the six-party alliance failed to change the momentum. Losses in upper and northern Assam underlined the decline. Assam Congress chief Gogoi and opposition leader Saikia – sons of former CMs Tarun Gogoi and Hiteshwar Saikia respectively – both lost in their family strongholds.This decision is tough for Congress. The path to comeback lies through constituencies it no longer controls.The restlessness within the Congress came to the surface. Gogoi did not comment. Party’s Ripun Bora promised a review. “EMV manipulation is possible – the results do not match Gen Z’s anger over the delay in justice for Zubeen or the fury over price hikes,” he said, adding that many people would question the results as the CM had predicted around 100 seats for the NDA, as exit polls showed.

देवरिया डीएम न्यूज़: उत्तर प्रदेश में बड़े प्रशासनिक फेरबदल के तहत देवरिया की चर्चित जिलाधिकारी दिव्या मित्तल को उनके पद से हटा दिया गया है. अब उन्हें राजस्व परिषद में विशेष सचिव की जिम्मेदारी दी गई है। उनकी जगह मधुसूदन हुगली को देवरिया का नया जिलाधिकारी बनाया गया है. यह बदलाव 38 आईएएस अधिकारियों के तबादलों की उस सूची का हिस्सा है, जिसकी चर्चा सोशल मीडिया पर तेजी से हो रही है. दिव्या मित्तल अपने सख्त फैसलों, भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ कार्रवाई और बेबाक अंदाज के लिए जानी जाती रही हैं।

कार्यकाल सख्त छवि और विवादों में रहा
2013 बैच की आईएएस अधिकारी दिव्या मित्तल अपनी जीरो टॉलरेंस नीति के लिए मशहूर हैं। उनके कार्यकाल के दौरान देवरिया में जन प्रतिनिधियों और अधिकारियों के बीच झड़प की कई खबरें आईं। जुलाई 2025 की दिशा बैठक में उनका एक बयान वायरल हुआ था, जिसमें उन्होंने साफ कहा था कि कोई भी जनप्रतिनिधि ट्रांसफर-पोस्टिंग के लिए अधिकारियों पर दबाव नहीं बना सकता.

अवैध अतिक्रमण पर सख्त कार्रवाई
दिव्या मित्तल ने देवरिया में अवैध अतिक्रमण के खिलाफ सख्त अभियान चलाया. उन्होंने लापरवाही बरतने वाले लेखपालों और वकीलों को जेल भेजने की चेतावनी भी दी थी। इसके अलावा उनके कई वीडियो सोशल मीडिया पर वायरल हुए, जिसमें वह अधिकारियों को जनता के साथ अच्छा व्यवहार करने की सलाह देती नजर आईं. इससे उनकी छवि एक सख्त और ईमानदार अधिकारी के रूप में बनी।

क्या राजनीतिक कारणों से हुआ ट्रांसफर?
माना जा रहा है कि उनकी बेबाक कार्यशैली स्थानीय राजनीतिक समीकरणों में फिट नहीं बैठ रही थी. इसी वजह से उनका ट्रांसफर समय से पहले कर दिया गया. हालांकि आधिकारिक तौर पर इसे सामान्य प्रशासनिक प्रक्रिया बताया जा रहा है. उनके तबादले के बाद सोशल मीडिया पर बहस शुरू हो गई है. कुछ लोग इसे सामान्य प्रक्रिया मान रहे हैं तो कुछ इसे एक ईमानदार अधिकारी पर दबाव का नतीजा बता रहे हैं.

लंदन में नौकरी छोड़कर बने आईएएस
दिव्या मित्तल ने देश की सेवा करने के लिए लंदन में अपनी अच्छी-खासी तनख्वाह वाली नौकरी छोड़कर आईएएस बनने का फैसला किया था। इससे पहले उन्होंने जल जीवन मिशन के तहत मिर्ज़ापुर में भी अच्छा काम किया था, लेकिन वहां भी प्रोटोकॉल विवाद के कारण उनका तबादला कर दिया गया था. अब उन्हें देवरिया से हटाए जाने को लेकर एक बार फिर चर्चा तेज हो गई है.
