This report highlights a significant administrative reshuffle in the national capital as IAS officer Sanjeev Kherwar is appointed the new Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

On this Special Report, the focus is on a significant political development in Kerala where Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Ramdas Athawale, has extended an invitation to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and the Left parties to join the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

In a significant constitutional standoff, the Karnataka government has announced its intention to move the Supreme Court following a deadlock with the Governor over the upcoming Joint Assembly Session. The Governor has reportedly objected to certain portions of the prepared speech script, labeling them as 'biased' and threatening to skip the session entirely. The Siddaramaiah-led government has set an 11:15 am deadline for the Governor to attend, emphasizing that skipping the session would be 'unconstitutional' under Article 176(1). The dispute reportedly centers on specific lines in the speech, including references to 'G. Ramji' and allegations of 'contractor-centric' programs. While a government representation met with the Governor to negotiate changes, the impasse remains.
