'Because matter became public?': Priyank Kharge gets Centre's nod for US visit
Karnataka minister Priyank Kharge got the green light from the central government for his official US trip after initially being denied clearance. He called out the puzzling reversal, questioning why permission was withheld in the first place and why it suddenly changed. Kharge also used the moment to underscore Karnataka’s contributions to national projects and pressed for transparency from the Centre about the whole ordeal.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about a travel permit—it’s a snapshot of the often-tense dynamics between state and central governments in India. Kharge’s case raises eyebrows about how political friction might influence routine approvals, and his push for answers hints at broader concerns over fairness and communication between different levels of governance. For voters, it’s a reminder of how bureaucratic decisions can reflect deeper power struggles.

Editor’s Note: Pant’s knock (and that celebration) isn’t just about runs—it’s a reminder of why he’s one of the most entertaining players in modern cricket. In a format that sometimes leans conservative, his audacity brings a jolt of energy, and performances like this could set the tone for the rest of the series.

Trump Is Vulnerable. Democrats Still Need a Strategy.
negativeTop Stories
Political analysts are pointing out that while Trump’s aggressive deportation policies might seem like a strong play to his base, they could actually be alienating swing voters and energizing opposition. Democrats, however, still haven’t figured out how to capitalize on this vulnerability—they need a clearer, more unified strategy to turn backlash into electoral gains.
Editor’s Note: Trump’s hardline immigration moves are stirring up controversy, but Democrats can’t just rely on public outrage to win. If they don’t sharpen their messaging and rally behind a cohesive plan, they might miss a key opportunity to sway voters who are turned off by Trump’s tactics. It’s a reminder that in politics, even when your opponent stumbles, you still have to stick the landing.

Editor’s Note: Pant’s consistency against a tough opponent like England, especially in their backyard, is a big deal.

For cricket fans, it’s a sign that India’s batting future is in exciting hands.
