West Bengal Plunges into Constitutional Crisis: Assembly Dissolved Amid Rising Violence KOLKATA – West Bengal has descended into an unprecedented political and constitutional vacuum following a dramatic late-night standoff at the Raj Bhavan. The Governor of West Bengal has officially dissolved the State Assembly, effectively placing the state under a cloud of uncertainty after Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee reportedly refused to step down from her post. The decision follows days of escalating tension and a complete breakdown in communication between the state executive and the Governor’s office.

A State on the Edge The backdrop to this constitutional meltdown is a surge in post-poll violence that has gripped the state. The most flashpoint event occurred in East Medinip...

A New Era or a New Crisis? The High-Stakes Gamble Redrawing Tamil Nadu’s Map CHENNAI – For twenty years, the alliance between the DMK and the Congress was the bedrock of Tamil Nadu’s secular front-a partnership that weathered ideological storms and national shifts.

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the corridors of Fort St. George, the Congress officially snapped its decades-old ties with the DMK to back a newcomer: C. Joseph Vijay and his fledgling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The drama moved from the streets to the Raj Bhavan yesterday as Vijay, the actor-turned-politician who has single-handedly dismantled the state’s long-standing duopoly, met with Governor Vishwanath Arlekar. Clad in his trademark simple attire and accompanied by a core team of advisors, Vijay staked his claim to form the next government. The Math of a Hung Assembly Despite a historic debut where the TVK emerged as the single largest party with 108 seats, the pa...

Here is a comprehensive breakdown of the results that were finalized yesterday, May 4, 2026. 1. Tamil Nadu: The "Thalapathy" Wave Is Real The biggest story of this election is undoubtedly Thalapathy Vijay and his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). In a state that has been a two-party system for 60 years, Vijay has achieved the unthinkable. The Numbers: TVK won 108 seats, making it the single largest party. While it fell short of the 118-seat majority mark, the mandate is clear. The Heavyweights Fall: In a shocking turn of events, the incumbent CM M.K. Stalin lost his own seat in Kolathur to a TVK candidate. Government Formation: Vijay is currently in talks with the Co...
