Rush Hour: Mamata Banerjee appears in SC to argue SIR plea, new Manipur CM sworn in and more
Appearing before the Supreme Court, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee alleged that her state was being targeted through the special intensive revision of the electoral rolls. She questioned why the process was not being carried out in Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Assam.
This was the first time a chief minister has appeared before the court to make a verbal submission.
In her petition, Banerjee has said that the voter list revision exercise poses an immediate, irreversible risk of mass disenfranchisement ahead of the Assembly elections, expected to be held in April or May. She has sought the court's direction that the polls be conducted on the basis of the electoral rolls prepared last year. Read on.
Bharatiya Janata Party leader Yumnam Khemchand Singh took oath as the chief minister of Manipur, forming a new government and ending a year of President's Rule in the state. The Hindutva party's Nemcha Kipgen, who belongs to the Kuki community, and ally Naga People's Front MLA Losii Dikho, from the Naga community, were sworn in as the deputy chief ministers.
The President's Rule was imposed in February 2025 after N Biren Singh stepped down as the chief minister amid allegations from Kuki-Zomi-Hmar groups that his response to the ethnic violence in Manipur had been partisan and that he had stoked majoritarianism.
Khemchand Singh was the Assembly speaker between 2017 and 2022 and a state minister in the Biren Singh government.
Kuki-Zo groups have maintained that the creation of a separate administrative arrangement in the form of a Union Territory, in the areas of the state dominated by the community, is the way forward to end the conflict. Read on.

Goyal's statement came hours after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had committed to $500 billion worth of purchases from the US, including agricultural products. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said that New Delhi has agreed to reduce tariffs on several US agricultural products and manufactured goods.
The Opposition has claimed that Modi “sold out” the “sweat and blood” of the country's farmers by buckling under pressure from the US to finalise a deal. Read on.
Sessions courts in India handed death penalties to 1,279 persons between 2016 and 2025, according to a study. Only a “staggeringly low” number of 70 sentences were confirmed by High Courts.
By the end of the last year, 574 persons were on death row in India, the highest since 2016, showed the study by criminal reforms advocacy group The Square Circle Clinic.
For the third consecutive year in 2025, the Supreme Court did not confirm any death sentences, the study said. “Wrongful or erroneous or unjustified convictions” could not be dismissed as “random or freak incidents,” it added. Read on.
