Published by Parlour News

The ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Saturday held statewide protests against Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal, accusing the Akali leadership of circulating a “fake” video of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to defame him. Accusing the SAD of misusing religion, spreading propaganda and hatching political conspiracies to mislead the people of Punjab, AAP ministers, MLAs, senior leaders and workers held demonstrations outside SAD offices and residences of several Akali leaders across Punjab, including Bathinda, Ludhiana, Sangrur, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Barnala and Pathankot, among other districts. Leading a protest in Mohali, Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said, “Today, AAP karyakartas come out on the streets not only in Mohali, but across Punjab to protest Shiromani Akali Dal’s anti-Panth and anti-Punjab activities. The people of Punjab are fully aware of these conspiracies and will never allow those who have repeatedly harmed the interests of the state.” The minister said the party will expose the SAD’s conspiracy and send a strong message that politics based on lies and deception will not be tolerated. “AAP workers across …

Air India crash, a year later. Two men and a phone call from London: ‘Kaise ho aap?’ | Long Reads News

For the last one year, that’s how almost every voice text, every call from Omar Ali to Savdhanbhai Chaudhary has begun. It’s a daily reassurance Savdhanbhai and his wife Ratniben have hung on to since June 12, 2025, when the Ahmedabad-Gatwick Boeing 787 Dreamliner carrying their elder son Kamlesh and his bride Dhapuben crashed minutes after takeoff, killing 241 of the 242 passengers on board. Over the grief-stricken days that followed, 40-year-old Omar Ali, Kamlesh’s Pakistani co-worker at a fancy goods store in London, and Savdhanbhai, a 48-year-old farmer in Thavar, a village in Gujarat’s Banaskantha district, struck an unlikely bond. Every day on his way to work, Omar Ali would call Savdhanbhai to talk — regular, everyday conversations about the weather, Savdhanbhai’s infected toe nail, the cluster beans he had eaten for lunch (“guar… what is it, what does it look like?”), Omar’s clean-shaven look. The calls and text messages have come without fail, every single day. “Hamein zara sa nakhoon me bhi dard hota hai toh Omar poochta hai (Omar calls and asks …

Why AAP launched fresh attack on Cong ahead of INDIA bloc’s big Delhi meet: Reason lies northwards

Published by Parlour News

As the INDIA bloc’s partners gathered in Delhi on Monday, the Aam Aadmi Party not only stayed away from any new alignment with it, but also sharpened its attack on the Congress, the largest Opposition party that leads the alliance. Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal with the party’s Punjab MLAs in New Delhi last month. (X/@ArvindKejriwal) AAP leader Somnath Bharti outright declared that the alliance — which the party formally exited in 2025 barring issue-based support thereafter — had “no future” so long as the Congress led it. “[Congress] said on one hand that we would fight as an alliance and back each other, but behind the scenes [it] appears to be with the BJP,” Bharti said. The INDIA bloc meeting at the heart of the attack was held in the national capital, but the fight that keeps the two parties estranged lies further northward in the immediate — in Punjab. Grouses cited in Capital Bharti’s stated grievances were specific to Delhi; he recalled that AAP and the Congress had split the capital’s seven …

Does she draw boundaries in terms of portrayal of women to make sure she is not objectified? Kangana said, “By and large, as per my experience it has always been that when I agree to do a film, there are so many various perspectives… you can bring light to that and say, ‘Thoda sa aisa bhi sound kar raha hain yeh’.

How AAP regains ground in urban Punjab in 2026 civic polls after 2024 LS setback | Political Pulse News

Published by Parlour News

In 2022, one year after it swept Punjab’s urban local body polls, the Congress, the state’s then incumbent party, suffered a stinging defeat at the hands of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the Assembly elections. The results of Punjab’s urban local body elections, announced on May 29, put the AAP in the majority in five of eight municipal corporations, 39 of 75 municipal councils, and nine of 20 nagar panchayats. However, the AAP may be wary of strong performances notched by the Opposition Congress, BJP and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in some urban pockets. Municipal corporations Among the eight municipal corporations that held elections, the AAP fell short in three – Abohar, Kapurthala and Pathankot. While the Congress secured a majority in the Kapurthala Municipal Corporation, the BJP won a majority in Abohar and emerged as the single-largest party in Pathankot. In the municipal corporations of Barnala, Batala, Bathinda, Moga and Mohali, the AAP won outright majorities in each of their 50-member Houses. In the 2022 Assembly polls for Punjab’s 117 constituencies, the AAP …

In Punjab polls, huge stakes for Opposition

In Punjab polls, huge stakes for Opposition

Published by Parlour News

The poll bugle was sounded in Punjab last week with the results of the local body polls. The Aam Aadmi Party, stung by the defection of seven Rajya Sabha members and a plethora of corruption charges, must be smiling. It won the largest chunk of local body seats, leaving the Congress a distant second. It is a boost for the beleaguered party and its embattled chief minister Bhagwant Mann, who has courted controversy regularly. It is a sign that the party machinery on the ground is alive and kicking, and Mann’s welfare agenda is popular. In a volatile state where the 2021 farm law protests fundamentally reshaped politics, the local body polls are a virtual semi-final for the assembly elections just months away. The AAP, which stormed to power in a landslide in 2022, starts from pole position. But it should not celebrate just yet. After all, in 2021, the Congress swept the local body elections, only to be booted out of power months later in the assembly polls. In a volatile state where the …
