Bihar SIR

Counting begins for 8 Bihar Legislative Council seats, BJP-JDU vs Jan Suraaj Party in tight fight

Why is the word regime change trending in India?

The central issue is the distinction between Form 6 itself and the separate declaration introduced alongside it during the Bihar SIR process. The Election Commission maintains that the statutory form was not modified, while the Supreme Court's proceedings have kept attention on the legal and procedural aspects of the electoral-roll revision. For voters and political parties, the larger issue is transparency in the preparation and revision of electoral rolls. Clear documentation of the legal basis, supporting declarations and procedures followed during SIR will remain important for public understanding of the process.

A tragic incident in Telangana has sparked anger among State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) employees after a 24-year-old woman bus conductor, Gundla Pravalika, died following an alleged attack by a passenger. The conductor, who was seriously injured after being pushed out of a moving bus during an argument over ticket change, succumbed to her injuries after nearly ten days of treatment.

Karnataka's latest bus fare hike has triggered a political controversy across the state, with opposition parties strongly criticising the Congress government over the increased financial burden on ordinary passengers. The revised fares for state-run transport corporations have come into effect from midnight on November 4, making bus journeys more expensive for thousands of daily commuters.
