I POSTED A POLITICAL OBITUARY ON TMC ON 03MAY,
AFTERNOON. ELECTORAL VERDICT BY PEOPLE OF BENGAL LEGALIZED THAT. I WISH NEW
GOVERNMENT WILL OPEN A NEW CHAPTER IN BENGAL. |
The one
unmistakable message from the results of the Assembly elections was that of a
yearning for change in three States. And the incumbents from
the TMC in Bengal to DMK to LDF, bore the brunt. Only Assam and Puducherry
bucked the trend.
In West
Bengal, BJP candidate Shuvendu Adhikari defeated Chief Minister and TMC leader Mamata Banerjee
in the Bhowanipur assembly constituency by more than 15 thousand votes. This is
the second time he defeated her.
Andhra
Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has secured back-to-back landmark
projects: a ₹1.35 lakh crore Google AI data centre near Visakhapatnam and a ₹1
lakh crore fifth-generation stealth fighter manufacturing facility in
Puttaparthi. These developments highlight his strategy to position Andhra
Pradesh as both a digital and defence powerhouse.
IRAN
WAR:
The United Arab Emirates reported downing 15 missiles and
four drones launched from Iran, labelling the strikes “treacherous” and
asserting its right to retaliate. Iran has yet to issue an official comment.
US forces reportedly sank six Iranian small boats attempting
to disrupt commercial shipping during the so-called “Project Freedom”, a US
operation aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has denied these
claims.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said the current
situation in the Strait of Hormuz makes it “clear that there’s no military
solution to a political crisis”.
US President Donald Trump told US media that Iran would be
“blown off the face of the earth” if it targets US vessels in the strait,
cautioning that Iran “better hope” the ceasefire holds.
Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said that
managing the strait remains a “legitimate right” of Iran.
Gulf countries, the GCC and the EU have condemned the
Iranian missile and drone attacks on the UAE.
GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi condemned the
attacks as a “flagrant violation of the sovereignty” of a member state.
US Central Command said that 50 commercial vessels have been
redirected from their intended routes as part of its ongoing blockade of
Iranian ports.

Saturday via an Eswatini government aircraft, weeks after his initial trip was

wrote on social media.
