The call for Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation is just the tip of the iceberg.
Underpinning the Cockroach Janta Party’s appeal is the growing disillusionment with the institutions of the republic.
My report from Jantar Mantar:

Stories, story-telling, and fragments of stories behind a story. Three days well spent in New Delhi in a data workshop by @nit_set@cfa_ind . What intrigued me was the simplicity with which @Howindialives' Avinash Singh narrated the data visualisation stories without any clutter
My @reporters_co colleague @ayushikar1998 sums up her two part investigation into Odisha's Lust for Bauxite. Do read and if you value it, donate to support such investigative journalism. 👇
Another crude example of how mining mafia works with impunity in Rajasthan and are hand in gloves with admin.
Yesterday, Ajeetpura villagers in Kotputli were fired upon by 15 people from mining mafia. They have been sitting on dharna for almost a year against National Limestone Pvt Ltd for mining near residential area.
10 villagers were injured, 3 of them critical.
A few months ago, I visited Ajeetpura and many other villages to document their long struggle against mining.

Superb sleuthing by @sidhant_sarthak.
Happy that @reporters_co could aid, support and backstop some of it. It's great to see young people lead where we fail to.
BJP has added a new tadka to Punjab politics by appointing former Congress MLA and senior Sikh leader Kewal Singh Dhillon as Punjab BJP president.
But is this a routine change, or BJP’s new recipe for 2027?
Punjab politics is not instant noodles. It is like Amritsar's one of renowned Daba, Kesar’s paranthas and maa di dal, it needs time, trust and local flavour.
BJP may be strong nationally, but Punjab is a different kitchen. The voter here asks: “Is the ghee real, or just marketing?”
Will this remain an election-time tadka, or can #BJP offer Punjab voters a taste they trust?
2027 will answer.
To know more, watch my full tadka wala vlog.
My colleague @AnganaCk is reporting from Manipur as the conflict escalated again after 3 years. This time between the Kuki-Zo and Naga groups. Why is the state failing?
Support her investigation. 👇
🧵CJI Kant upheld the SIR by invoking BCE-era Bihar to argue democracy is about identifying who's entitled to "participate." He didn't ask the ECI the obvious question: how many "illegal voters" has the SIR found so far? We asked the CEC that, in this profile for @thenewsminute.
Manipur CM extends full cooperation to high level committee which will study demographic changes due to illegal immigration and other abnormal reasons.
Will this lead to peace?
Exclusive: The National Board of Wildlife, headed by the PM, partnered with Odisha to erase parts of Elephant Corridor and a Wildlife Sanctuary. So that miners access bauxite reserves worth '000 crs.

The Principal Bench of National Green Tribunal has issued notice in "Statutory Appeal" challenging the proposed 1,600 MW coal-based Mirzapur Thermal Power Project of Adani Power’s Mirzapur Thermal Energy UP Pvt. Ltd. The respondents include the Project Proponent, Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) and multiple departments of the Government of Uttar Pradesh.

1. A petition challenging the Environmental Clearance granted by the MoEFCC on 23rd September 2025;
2. Restoration of an Execution Application originally filed in 2024 concerning alleged violations by the project company for commencing construction activities. The matter was disposed of by the NGT in 2025 following directions of a bench headed by the then Chief Justice of India in the Supreme Court of India to avoid parallel proceedings, but has now been remitted back to the NGT by the present Chief Justice for comprehensive consideration alongside the pending EC appeal; The NGT will now also hear the pending violation case.
3. A stay application relating to ongoing project activities.
The bench was chaired by Hon'ble Chairperson Justice Mr Prakash Shrivastava and Expert Member Dr Afroz Ahmad. The petitioner was represented by Advocate Parul Gupta. The order is yet to be updated on NGT website.

"Late Sankarshan Thakur, editor of Telegraph India, called it “a path-breaking reference” for anyone wanting to understand the weave and weft of Rajasthan’s politics. Given how sparse the existing literature beyond Rajasthan’s palaces is, it may be the only reference for some time"
