Andhra Pradesh CM Denies Public Anger, Calls Out Congress Leaders' 'Fake Manufacturing of Facts'

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has reacted to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's video, on which Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh said that the Finance Minister herself is watching how much resentment there is in the public. The Chief Minister himself has to silence the people. On this whole matter, Naidu has told the truth of the viral video. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Naidu posted on X, saying, "Jairam ji, your understanding of what happened is far from reality. You are wrongly describing it as public anger. Actually it was a tremendous and enthusiastic response from the people." Naidu further said in his post, "Given the huge enthusiasm of the people present there, I had to hold the stage for a while, so that the program could go smoothly. Understanding the anger of the people, shows how far you are from the feelings of the people of Andhra Pradesh and all over India. Discourse of politically motivated social media cannot change the truth that people themselves felt and how this fake manufacturing of facts is manifested by Congress leaders."

Brazil Holds Presidential Election Between Incumbent Lula and Bolsonaro

Brazilians began voting Sunday in a high-stakes presidential election pitting incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva against Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, ideological opposites who are each seen as having a shot at an outright victory. If no candidate gets more than 50% of the vote, the top two vote-getters will head to a runoff on October 25 in Latin America's economic powerhouse. Ten other candidates are expected to garner much smaller numbers of votes on Sunday. Bolsonaro, 45, is the son of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of US President Donald Trump . Lula, who at 80 is one of the world's oldest heads of state, is running in his seventh presidential election and has strengthened Brazil's ties with Beijing. Trump allies have found support in recent years in some Latin American countries, including Argentina, Colombia and Peru. Almost 159 million Brazilians are eligible to vote in this tense political showdown.

Tensions Rise Between SP and RLD as RLD Aligns with BJP Ahead of UP Elections

In August, during an event in Lucknow, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav taunted Rashtriya Lok Dal chief Jayant Chaudhary without naming him: "Jaane kahan-kahan se aa gaye tha gathbandhan wale. Hum log chavanni ka rupaye, toh bhi bachche wala hai (We have come from somewhere in the alliance)." The statement made headlines. The comment was linked to the self-esteem of Jats, farmers, and backwards. As the SP grew wary of the prospect of hot winds, the RLD has also begun to strategise with the BJP for 136 Jat-dominated seats, especially in western Uttar Pradesh. This could be echoed on the birth anniversary of former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh on December 23, for which Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been invited to visit Chaudhary's native village Noorpur in Hapur. The BJP, which has faced challenges in western Uttar Pradesh due to the farmers "agitation and Jat resentment, hopes that its path will be smoothened with the support of the RLD, which does politics of farmers and Jats.

Purvanchal Region Transforms Under Yogi Adityanath's Leadership in Uttar Pradesh

The year 2017 marks a turning point in the political and socio-economic history of Uttar Pradesh. Before 2017, Purvanchal was identified as a neglected and backward region with a plethora of problems and a total lack of government will. Poor roads, darkened villages and cities, unbridled crime and stagnant economic activity came to mind. The lack of basic amenities and administrative apathy cost the traditional industries here, especially the world-famous carpet industry of Bhadohi. Bhadohi, which once held India in awe on the global stage for its weaving art and silk-wool carpets, was on the verge of collapse before 2017, but after 2017, the firm political will, quick decision-making and developmental vision of the state government under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath changed the landscape of Purvanchal and Bhadohi by 360 degrees. Before 2017, Uttar Pradesh's administration was crippled and criminalised.

US President Announces Creation of 'Super Intelligence Force' to Lead Global AI Efforts

United States President Donald Trump on Sunday announced the creation of a “Super Intelligence Force”, which he said will work to “ensure that America continues to lead the world” in artificial intelligence. Trump said that the task force will coordinate the federal government’s engagement with consumers, public interest groups, religious organisations, infrastructure providers and artificial intelligence companies. “I am announcing the formation of the Super Intelligence Force (SIF). The Super Intelligence Force is tasked with coordinating the effort of the Federal Government to ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence, which many say is bigger than the Industrial Revolution, and the Internet, and will protect the interests, and improve the lives, of all Americans.” - President DONALD J. TRUMP 🇺🇸 The US president said the group will be led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission Andrew Ferguson, Pentagon chief technology officer Emil Michael, and Director of the Office of Personnel Management Scott Kupor. The body will report to the US president and the White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. The development comes days after Trump hosted top artificial intelligence executives at the White House. During the meeting, the group had reportedly signed a commitment aimed at more effective “self-policing” of artificial intelligence models, even as it called for a light-touch approach to AI governance. On September 29, Trump signed an executive order formally directing the US government to replace the terms “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” with “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in all executive branch operations.

Karnataka Home Minister Accuses BJP and RSS of Voter Rights Deprivation

The political battle over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has intensified in Karnataka, with Home Minister Priyank Kharge accusing the BJP and RSS of attempting to deprive Scheduled Caste and minority voters of their voting rights. Kharge alleged that the electoral-roll revision was being conducted with an ulterior motive and claimed that the Election Commission was not taking adequate action despite being aware of the developments. Taking a swipe at the BJP and RSS , he said the two organisations were acting like representatives of the Election Commission while raising questions over the transparency of the SIR exercise. The Home Minister said the Karnataka government had extended all necessary institutional support to the election authorities. According to him, the government had also undertaken publicity campaigns to inform citizens about the electoral-roll revision and the procedures involved. However, Kharge alleged that the process was still being misused. He claimed that more than 1.08 crore voters had been excluded from the electoral rolls and that 43.8 lakh voters currently appearing on the rolls had received notices over alleged “logical discrepancies”. Kharge questioned the BJP’s position on voter-list cleansing and alleged that party leaders were using the SIR process to facilitate mass deletions. “The BJP leaders are now deleting names collectively under the same pretext. Is this what the BJP calls purification?” Kharge questioned. He went on to give the exercise a political label, saying it should not be called a Special Intensive Revision. “This is not a Special Intensive Revision; this is an RSS-run ‘Sangh Intensive Revision’,” he alleged. Kharge further questioned why Scheduled Caste and minority voters were allegedly being singled out during the process. “Why are the votes of Scheduled Castes and minorities being deleted?” he asked. The allegations come amid a wider political dispute between the Congress and BJP over SIR and Form 7 applications. While Congress leaders have raised concerns over possible exclusion of eligible voters, the BJP has rejected the charges and sought evidence to support claims of large-scale voter deletion. The Election Commission’s verification and revision process is expected to remain a major political issue in Karnataka as the exercise progresses.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Announces Plan to Rename Bhadohi District

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has once again made a public announcement to change the name of Bhadohi district, which is known as the world-famous Kalin Nagri, to Sant Ravidas Nagar. The history of the district has gone through many political and administrative changes in the last three decades. After the formation of a separate district in 1994, it was named Bhadohi. After this, when the governments changed, the name of the district also kept changing. Sometimes it was called Sant Ravidas Nagar after Sant Ravidas, sometimes the old identity was restored to Bhadohi. Let us know what happened when. Bhadohi was earlier a part of Varanasi district. Bhadohi was made a separate district in the government of then Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav on 30 June 1994 after the demand to form a separate district. The identity of the district remained with the name Bhadohi since then. After the change of power in 1997, the name of the district was changed to Bhadohi. Bhadohi was renamed as Sant Ravidas Nagar after the then Chief Minister Mayawati's government on 4 December 1997. Bhadohi was added to its social name in 2020 when Mayawati said that it was a priority in Uttar Pradesh.

Global Politics in Flux: US Role Shifts as China Emerges Stronger

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has painted a picture of changing global politics, saying the world is now fast approaching a phase where the role of the United States is changing and China is getting stronger. He said the United States has made itself somewhat of a "lone power" by choice, while the rise of China is rapidly changing global equations. Jaishankar said the US-China rivalry is no longer limited to these two countries. This competition has also "weaponised" the power and resources that different countries of the world have. The biggest feature of today's world, Jaishankar said at the opening session of the Munich Leaders'Meeting 2026 in New Delhi, is America's "deliberate radical repositioning" of its global role. He said this change is America's own choice and that it has become, in a way, a "lone power." The other big thing is the rise of China.

The United States has deliberately isolated itself from the world more than before. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said this at the 62nd Munich Security Conference in Germany. He said that a big change in the policies of the United States and the growing power of China is changing the politics of the world. Because of this, other countries are also changing their strategies. According to Jaishankar, today the impact of the increasing competition between the United States and China is visible on the politics of the world. Meanwhile, emerging countries like India and middle powers are also becoming more cautious about their interests. They are trying to reduce their dependence on other countries, make new partners and reduce risks. The role of the United States in global politics is changing. According to him, the United States has deliberately chosen a more isolated path than before. Meanwhile, Jaishankar pointed out that the second big change in the world is China's influence. China now accounts for about one-third of the world's total manufacturing sector. Its economic power is also changing and its economic influence among other countries is also increasing.

Gyanesh Kumar seems to have become Sanjeevani for the opposition. The leaders who never liked to see each other are now seen on one stage. It is different that Uddhav and Raj Thackeray met several months ago. But Gyanesh Kumar's case certainly gave both of them a chance to come to the front. Today (Sunday) in Mumbai, the Thackeray brothers broke down in front of their supporters. Both of them in unison demanded the cancellation of the SIR in Maharashtra. Gyanesh Kumar's resignation and said that until Gyanesh Kumar resigns. This movement will continue. Meanwhile, Raj Thackeray demanded to boycott the elections. But veteran Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan has rejected it. Actually, MNS chief Raj Thackeray had said that boycott the elections because there should be milk and water. I am saying from ID1 that the voters are so confused that no one can tell us that we are less than the ruling party.

BJP Protests Intensify in Karnataka Over Electoral Roll Controversy

The ongoing controversy over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls has intensified in Karnataka, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stepping up protests against police cases involving its leaders in Ballari and Belagavi. In Ballari, BJP Booth-Level Agent (BLA) 1 Srinivas Motkar is facing two first information reports (FIRs) registered at Brucepet and APMC police stations in connection with allegations of misuse of Form 7. Motkar had submitted a complaint seeking verification of the eligibility of 7,561 voters. The BJP has denied targeting any particular community and said its action was aimed only at seeking verification of voter eligibility. The party objected strongly after police obtained a search warrant from a court and moved to search Motkar’s office on Talur Road based on a complaint filed by Congress BLA-1 Gautham. Calling the police action excessive, BJP leaders said they would hold a protest on October 5. The demonstration will begin at Royal Circle and proceed towards the Brucepet and APMC police stations, where the party has threatened to stage a gherao. The SIR controversy has also resulted in a legal reprieve for BJP leader Dr Ravi Patil in Belagavi. The Second Additional District and Sessions Court granted conditional bail to the former BJP candidate from Belagavi North. A case had been registered at Market police station against Patil and 24 others following a complaint by a Booth-Level Officer (BLO). They were accused of attempting to delete the names of 198 minority voters using Form 7 applications at polling booths 195 and 196 in Veerabhadranagar. The alleged incident took place on September 22. Patil had reportedly been absconding amid fears of arrest. The court granted him bail against a Rs 50,000 bond and one surety. With the BJP preparing for protests in Ballari and the legal proceedings continuing in Belagavi, the SIR issue is emerging as a major flashpoint between the Congress and BJP in the state.

OPEC+ Keeps Oil Production Targets Steady for November Amid Ongoing Supply Disruptions

OPEC+ agreed to keep oil production targets steady for November at a meeting on Sunday, the producer group said, in line with expectations that further output policy adjustments are unlikely until next year. Seven core members of the group comprising the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia made the decision for November in a brief online meeting on Sunday. The core members are Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan and Oman. Gulf OPEC+ producers have been pumping well below output targets in the face of continuing export disruptions from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, with exports fluctuating at 60% to 80% of normal levels in recent months. “The OPEC+ group of seven kept their production ceilings unchanged, in line with market expectations. That said, despite rising flows through the Strait of Hormuz, their output levels remain well below quota,” said UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo. “Consequently, the oil market remains tight.” Oil prices had dropped on Friday after European leaders agreed to U.S. President Donald Trump's request to release diesel reserves. Even so, Brent crude remains above $100 a barrel, up from about $73 before the Iran war started in late February. The Iran war has also delayed the group's output capacity review — crucial to determine members’ 2027 output quotas — because it has thrown estimates of future production potential into uncertainty, industry sources told Reuters last week. OPEC+ has been raising output targets for much of 2026 after years of production cuts, but most of the increases stayed on paper because of the Middle East conflict. The seven core OPEC+ members pumped 25 million barrels per day in August, up 630,000 bpd from July, yet still roughly 5 million bpd below prewar levels in February, OPEC data shows. The seven hold their next meeting on Nov. 1. OPEC+ still has about 2 million bpd of output cuts in place covering most members. It needs the result of the capacity review to decide how to distribute increases and any changes to output are unlikely before 2027, sources have said. A separate OPEC+ ministerial group called the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC), which does not decide policy, also met on Sunday to review the market.

Concerns Raised Over Condition of Government Schools in Assam's Karbi Anglong District

Diphu Lok Sabha MP Amarsing Tisso of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has raised concerns over the condition of government schools in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district after inspecting several institutions in the Singhasan Council constituency. The inspections focused on basic facilities and the overall condition of the schools, with Tisso raising questions over infrastructure, teacher and student attendance, toilets, drinking water and mid-day meals. The MP expressed concern that deficiencies were visible even at schools located along major roads, raising questions about the condition of institutions in more remote parts of the district. The inspections have brought renewed attention to government school infrastructure in Karbi Anglong, particularly the availability and maintenance of classrooms, sanitation facilities, drinking water and mid-day meals. They have also highlighted questions over regular attendance of teachers and students and the delivery of basic welfare measures in government schools. Although the inspections covered schools in the Singhasan Council constituency, the concerns raised by Tisso point to the need for a broader assessment of government schools across Karbi Anglong.

Indian Opposition Parties Protest Against Electoral Roll Revision

Delhi units of INDIA bloc parties will hold a joint protest outside the Delhi Election Commission office on October 7 against the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The decision was taken at a meeting of representatives of the Congress, CPI, CPI(M), RJD, NCP and RSP, among other parties, the Delhi Congress said in a statement on Sunday. The parties described the SIR exercise as "flawed" and called for its immediate repeal, while demanding that the electoral roll revision process be conducted transparently and in accordance with constitutional provisions and voters' rights. Delhi Congress general secretary Anil Bhardwaj said the INDIA bloc would not accept any process that could result in the deletion of voters' names or affect their electoral rights. "The voter list is the foundation of democracy. If any process is adopted that could potentially remove voters' names or impact their rights, the INDIA Alliance will not accept it at any cost," Bhardwaj said. He said the October 7 protest would seek to protect the rights of Delhi voters, ensure free and fair elections, and safeguard the democratic system. The meeting was attended by CPI secretary Dinesh C Varshanay, CPI(M) general secretary Anurag Saxena, RJD's Naval Kishore and representatives of the NCP and RSP, besides Congress leaders.
