Battle lines drawn for 37 Rajya Sabha seats in 10 states: What is at stake for NDA, INDIA bloc | Political Pulse News

Published by Parlour News

With the Election Commission (EC) on Wednesday announcing elections for 37 Rajya Sabha seats across 10 states, which will fall vacant in early April, the ruling BJP-led NDA is looking to secure a likely boost in its numbers in the Upper House. The Opposition INDIA bloc, which is likely to see a decline in its Rajya Sabha tally, will be keenly focusing on the March 16 polls as it may have implications that could test the cohesion of its grouping. Maharashtra, with seven retiring MPs – including NCP(SP) chief Sharad Pawar, RPI (Athawale) president Ramdas Athawale and Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Priyanka Chaturvedi – accounts for the highest number of vacancies. Following closely is Tamil Nadu with six vacancies, including retiring MPs like AIADMK’s M Thambidurai and DMK’s Tiruchi Siva. Other prominent members who are set to retire from the Upper House in April include Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi (Telangana), RLM chief Upendra Kushwaha (Bihar), and Trinamool Congress’s Saket Gokhale (West Bengal).

Why Greenland is drawing lines for Trump: Motsveld warns Washington once again amid Arctic standoff

Published by Parlour News

Published on Feb 04, 2026 01:28 am IST Greenland is striking a calmer tone after months of heated rhetoric over its future. Speaking at a major Arctic forum, Foreign Minister Vivian Motsveld voiced optimism about negotiations with the United States and stressed respect for sovereignty and international law. She thanked European and Nordic allies for backing Greenland while underlining the island’s strategic importance. Her remarks come after President Trump’s controversial comments about Greenland and NATO, and as Washington hints at a softer approach. Behind the diplomacy, however, the Arctic’s geopolitical stakes remain high and far from settled.   News / Videos / Why Greenland is drawing lines for Trump: Motsveld warns Washington once again amid Arctic standoff Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

A sustained effort to choke supply lines to the Communist Party of India (Maoist) cadres holed up in Saranda, along with an expanded permanent security presence in deep forest zones, played a key role in eliminating 15 naxalites in a single day in West Singhbhum district, officials involved in the anti-naxal operation said on Friday.

The UT Administration’s decision to conduct Chandigarh mayoral polls through a “show of hands” has brought the BJP and the AAP‑Congress alliance head‑to‑head, with both camps holding 18 votes each. The election for Mayor, Senior Deputy Mayor, and Deputy Mayor will be held on January 29. For the first time since the inaugural Municipal Corporation elections in 1996, the mayoral contest will be decided by a show of hands rather than a secret ballot. Secret ballot voting in the past often led to cross‑voting, but under the new system, any councillor defying party lines risks strict disciplinary action. Interestingly, all major political parties in Chandigarh have welcomed the change. Senior BJP leader Sanjay Tandon remarked that it would be a fully transparent system to elect the mayor, leaving no room for doubt about how councillors cast their votes. AAP’s Chandigarh unit president Vijay Pal Singh said the move was the result of consistent efforts and repeated memorandums to the UT Administrator‑cum‑Punjab Governor, adding that the administration should now take all parties into confidence regarding its …

Yearender | India’s 2025: Red Lines, Terrorism And A Decisive Shift In Policy | India News

Published by Webster

Last Updated:December 31, 2025, 18:25 IST India’s message was consistent and unambiguous: peace remains the preferred outcome, but peace without security is untenable. Prime Minister Narendra Modi. History will remember 2025 as the year India decisively redrew its red lines. It was the year the Indian state made it unequivocally clear—to its citizens, its adversaries, and the international community—that terrorism on Indian soil would no longer be treated as a law-and-order problem or a matter of diplomatic restraint, but as an act of war. This shift was not rhetorical. It was doctrinal. For decades, India responded to terror with patience, appeals to global conscience, and calibrated restraint. That restraint was often mistaken for weakness. In 2025, that miscalculation proved costly for those who persisted with it. The immediate trigger was the brutal terror attack in Baisaran, Pahalgam, where innocent tourists were executed after being asked to identify their religion. Those unable to recite the Kalma were shot dead in cold blood. The sheer barbarity of the act shocked the nation—but it did not surprise it. …
