CEC Selection Bill Row: YSRCP Backtracks on Support, Naidu Hits Back Over 'Double Standards'

The central government has confirmed a special session of Parliament to discuss the Delimitation Bill, sparking political friction across party lines. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju responded to Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge's demand for an all-party meet, stating he previously sought cooperation from Rahul Gandhi and Kharge on multiple occasions. The central challenge for the government remains securing the required two-thirds majority of 360 members in the 543-member Lok Sabha for the constitutional amendment bill. Floor managers estimate support at around 320 members, placing crucial focus on regional parties including the DMK, YSRCP, and BJD.

Assailants opened fire at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai's Juhu area on Sunday evening as he departed from a football venue.

Three accused in the Tiger Shroff shooting case who were apprehended in Kota, Rajasthan, have been produced before a court. Police have sought a transit warrant to transfer the accused from Kota to Mumbai for detailed interrogation. A team from Kota Police will accompany the Mumbai Police and participate in questioning to investigate potential Rajasthan links. The suspects had allegedly fired five to seven rounds at the actor's vehicle before fleeing on a motorcycle to a local railway station. They boarded the Jaipur Express and travelled up to Kota, where they were nabbed following coordinated multi-state police action.
