This special report focuses on Rahul Gandhi's scathing attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bihar government during a Mahagatbandhan rally in Muzaffarpur. Rahul Gandhi claimed, 'If you tell him 'look brother we will give you our vote, come on stage and dance', he will dance'. The Congress leader, sharing the stage with Tejashwi Yadav, accused the Prime Minister of creating 'two Indias'—one for the poor and another for Mr. Modi and his associates. He also hit out at the government over the Chhath Puja controversy, contrasting the polluted Yamuna river where devotees take a dip with an allegedly special clean water arrangement made for the Prime Minister. Gandhi further targeted Nitish Kumar, claiming the Chief Minister is 'tired' and has failed to work for the weaker sections of society during the heated Bihar poll battle.

Rahul Gandhi Poll Pitch Paper Says Not 'Made in China', but 'Made in Bihar'
In a fiery speech, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticises the Narendra Modi-led BJP government on multiple fronts, including its alleged opposition to social justice, the recurring issue of exam paper leaks in states like Bihar, and policies that he claims have decimated small businesses. Gandhi stated, 'Ek taraf natak Ambani adani ka Hindustan Narendra Modi ka grama aur tushree taraf Hindustan Ki sachchaai ganda paani bimari' ('On one side, there is the drama of Ambani-Adani's India, Narendra Modi's drama, and on the other side, the reality of India: dirty water and disease'). He contrasts the struggles of common people, such as students facing rigged exams and patients from Bihar forced to seek treatment in Delhi, with the government's alleged favouritism towards a few industrialists. Gandhi champions a caste census for equitable representation and promises a shift from 'Made in China' to 'Made in Bihar' to boost local employment and industry.
Exclusive: IIT Kanpur director Manindra Agarwal on Delhi's cloud seeding process
This special report focuses on Delhi's cloud seeding experiment to combat air pollution, featuring an exclusive interview with IIT Kanpur Director, Manindra Aggarwal. Professor Aggarwal states, 'Cloud seeding is not a solution to the problem of pollution. It's an SOS measure.' The initial trials were paused due to unfavourable weather conditions, specifically low moisture in the clouds. Professor Aggarwal clarifies that the first flights were intended to gather data, even with the knowledge that they were unlikely to produce rain. He explains that while there was a minor 10-20% drop in PM2.5 levels, cloud seeding is a temporary measure, with a potential cost of ₹25 crore for the winter season. The project is framed as a scientific experiment to provide temporary relief during severe pollution episodes, not a permanent fix for the crisis.

'CM/PM Seat Not Vacant': Amit Shah's Roar Against Lalu-Sonia Dynasties In Bihar
In a fiery speech in Darbhanga, Bihar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah lambasted the Congress and RJD, accusing them of promoting dynastic politics. Slamming the opposition, he said, 'Lalu ji wants to make his son the Chief Minister and Sonia ji wants to make Rahul Baba the Prime Minister... I want to tell them both, no CM or PM seat is vacant. Here it is Nitish Kumar Ji, and there it is Modi ji.' Shah contrasted this with the BJP's focus on youth, citing the party giving a ticket to 25-year-old singer Maithili Thakur.
