Bengaluru Protest

Bengaluru’s Freedom Park is witnessing a high-profile mobilisation around the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, with CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke joined by Dhruv Rathee and actor-activist Prakash Raj.

The BJP has intensified its attack on Rahul Gandhi over alleged foreign links to Opposition protests, accusing him of promoting violence, anarchy and regime change. Meanwhile, Gandhi has challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to an open debate on foreign connections and other political issues, prompting a sharp response from Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who said Parliament is the appropriate forum for such discussions.

A major controversy erupted during the municipal elections in Venkatagiri on November 1, 2026, after the election symbols of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) candidates were reportedly interchanged on ballot papers in Ward 35.
