Why This CM Is Probing Lionel Messi! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 100 days in office, Chief Minister V D Satheesan has ordered five SITs. This would appear to be some kind of a record, points out Aditi Phadnis. So, in 2024, when the state sports minister in the Left Democratic Front government, V Abdurahiman, announced that he'd done it -- Lionel Messi would be coming to play a friendly in the state in 2026 -- most expected that Mr V Abdurahiman would win his assembly seat (Tirur) by a landslide in the 2026 elections.

Why BJP, Congress Watch CJP's Future Moves (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Read excerpt
In the throes of a financial crisis, the state's ruling Congress government has little to be triumphant about as assembly elections approach next year, points out Aditi Phadnis. Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh are due only in November next year, but the restlessness is already palpable. "If there's change in leadership," said a local journalist based in Dharamshala, "the Congress might reach double digits. Otherwise, it'll be lucky if it crosses 10 seats."
