Bihar elections: Congress ramps up reservation pitch ahead of PM Modi's visit; alleges NDA has ‘given up’ on 65% quota push

IndiaTimes Friday, 20 June 2025
As PM Modi inaugurates development projects in Bihar, Congress criticizes the NDA government's handling of the proposed 65% reservation for marginalized communities. Jairam Ramesh suggests legislative measures, including constitutional amendments and implementing Article 15(5), to bypass legal hurdles and ensure the reservation's implementation. Congress plans to raise these social justice issues in the upcoming Parliament session.

2026 Senate Showdown: 5 Senate Seats Will Decide Trump's Powers |Democrats Plot 2026 Senate Takeover

As the 2026 Senate elections approach, both Republicans and Democrats are gearing up for a high-stakes battle. With the GOP holding a narrow 53–47 majority, control of just five key seats could determine how much power Donald Trump holds in a possible second term. Democrats are strategizing to flip seats across the South and Midwest, while Trump faces internal GOP rifts and divisive primaries. The outcome could define everything from legislation to Supreme Court picks. The fight for Congress is already underway—and it’s anything but certain. #Senate2026 #Trump #USPolitics #CongressBattle #Midterms #GOP #Democrats #TrumpAgenda #RedVsBlue #SenateMajority #KeyRaces #ElectionWatch #PoliticalPower #DividedGOP #DemocratStrategy #USMidterms #RepublicanPrimary #TrumpAllies #SenateControl #FlipTheSenate #CampaignTrail #BipartisanBattle #VoterPower #Election2026 #TrumpVsGOP #Harris2026 #SouthernVotes #MidwestPolitics #GOPStrategy #DemocratsPushBack ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.194~

WW3 Warning: China, India, Russia Alliance Could DESTROY U.S Military Power | Trump's BIGGEST Threat

As Trump ramps up aggressive foreign policies in his second term, fears rise over a potential global conflict. A growing trilateral alliance between Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Narendra Modi could present a historic challenge to U.S. power. With Russia’s nuclear might, China’s economic dominance, and India’s rising strategic presence, analysts warn this bloc could break NATO's influence. Trump’s rhetoric, including attacks on India’s economy and NATO tensions, risks isolating the U.S. just as this new alliance gains ground—pushing the world closer to a possible WW3 scenario. #TrumpVsWorld #WW3Fears #Putin #XiJinping #NarendraModi #GlobalConflict #TrilateralAlliance #Geopolitics #NATO #RussiaChinaIndia #USForeignPolicy #Trump2025 #WorldWar3 #MilitaryTensions #NuclearThreat #ChinaNavy #RussianMissiles #IndianArmy #Medvedev #USVsAll #GlobalPowerShift #BRICS #EurasianAlliance #TrumpSpeech #DeadEconomy #NuclearRace #DefenseNews #BreakingNews #AsiaRising #TrumpBacklash #USAlliances Also Read Trump Claims Canada's Recognition of Palestinian State Complicates Trade Negotiations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-uses-canada-palestinian-state-recognition-leverage-trade-talks-011-7817517.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambition as a Global Peacemaker Faces Challenges Amid Gaza Ceasefire Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-global-peacemaker-gaza-ceasefire-challenges-011-7810943.html?ref=DMDesc Is Xi Jinping Preparing To Step Down As Chinese President?
