Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee met AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi ahead of the INDIA bloc meeting. The leaders discussed the “road ahead” as opposition parties prepare to review strategy amid shifting political equations and alliance strains

Tensions deepen within the INDIA bloc as the DMK and CPI-M criticise Congress, accusing it of “backstabbing” and poor coordination. DMK has boycotted the alliance meeting, while CPI-M questioned Congress’s leadership amid rising differences over strategy and seat-sharing.

Mamata Banerjee said INDIA bloc leaders may meet in early June to discuss joint strategy against the BJP. She alleged electoral manipulation in West Bengal, while BJP leaders dismissed her claims and accused the TMC of avoiding accountability

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said the INDIA bloc remains united despite tensions between the DMK and Congress over support to Vijay-led TVK in Tamil Nadu. He said the alliance’s common objective is to keep the NDA out of power at the national level

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin said the defeat of the delimitation bill in Parliament was possible due to united opposition efforts. He criticised the BJP, called the move a partial victory, and urged continued resistance against similar proposals

Opposition parties, including AAP, have decided to jointly oppose the delimitation provisions in a Constitution amendment Bill while supporting women’s reservation. Mallikarjun Kharge called the move politically motivated and accused the government of misusing the delimitation process

Rahul Gandhi and M K Stalin campaigned separately in Puducherry without sharing a stage, raising speculation over INDIA Bloc coordination. The leaders continued campaigning across southern states as elections near, with parties intensifying efforts ahead of voting

With just a day left for the Rajya Sabha elections, political activity has intensified across party lines. NDA leaders, including JD(U)’s Narendra Narayan Yadav and BJP’s Ram Kripal Yadav, expressed confidence in sweeping all five Bihar seats.

The Congress leadership, including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, met in Delhi to review the party’s poor performance in the Bihar elections. Accusing the Election Commission of lacking transparency, the party said it would soon present concrete proof supporting its ‘vote chori’ claim

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav accused the Election Commission of withholding gender-wise voter data from Bihar’s first phase of polling, alleging bias under Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Shah’s influence. He also questioned security deployment from BJP-ruled states and expressed confidence in victory

Party leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Jairam Ramesh promised immediate implementation of the alliance’s guarantees, including job creation, pensions, subsidies, and expanded reservation benefits

Over 3.70 crore voters will decide the fate of 1,302 candidates contesting 122 seats in the final phase of the Bihar assembly polls on Tuesday. Heavy security has been deployed, with several ministers and political heavyweights in the fray

At a rally in Bihar’s Kishanganj, Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah of indulging in “vote chori” and said they would eventually be caught. He claimed the INDIA bloc would form the next government if voters ensured fair polling

Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused the INDIA bloc of trying to build a “corridor for infiltrators” in Bihar while asserting that the Modi government is focused on industrial and defence growth. He also criticised Congress and RJD over infiltration and Ram temple issues

The term ‘Jungle Raj’, once used to describe lawlessness in Bihar during the Lalu-Rabri era, has resurfaced as a major election narrative. As Bihar votes, the phrase continues to stir public memory, political rhetoric, and media perception battles

At rallies in Katihar and Saharsa, PM Modi also branded the RJD and Congress as “most corrupt families”.
