Markets to fall if NDA loses Bihar Polls?

If the NDA fails to secure a majority in the Bihar Assembly elections, analysts warn that Indian equity markets could face immediate pressure. A surprise loss, particularly if the BJP-led alliance slips below the 150-seat mark, may trigger a short-term sell-off as investors price in political uncertainty and policy instability. Experts estimate a 5–7 % correction in the Nifty, driven by fears of a weakened central position for the ruling coalition and delays in reform momentum. Markets are expected to stabilise only once fiscal and coalition policy clarity emerges post-results on November 14.

PM taken aback at ‘Vande Mataram’ recording provided by bureaucrat couple 

The Prime Minister is taken aback after a bureaucrat couple, 1996-batch Indian Civil Accounts Service officer Akhilesh Jha, and 1997-batch IRS officer Rashmita Jha, archiving gramophone records for years, provided him the first-ever recording of ‘Vande Mataram’ after he inaugurated the year-long celebrations to commemorate 150th years of the national song ‘Vande Mataram’. 

TMC & JMM MPs to corner govt over alleged security lapses in Red Fort blast; SP expected to join too?

In response to the deadly Red Fort car blast on November 10, 2025,  which killed at least 13 people, opposition parties led by Mamata  Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress and Hemant Soren’s Jharkhand Mukti  Morcha have strategically positioned their parliamentary leaders for  the upcoming winter session to aggressively confront the government  over alleged security lapses that enabled the attack. Sources indicate that the opposition coalition, including potentially Akhilesh Yadav’s  Samajwadi Party, aims to hold the government accountable for its  purported complacency in securing high-risk zones in Delhi,  highlighting how a suspicious car loaded with explosives remained  undetected near the iconic Red Fort for hours. The winter session starting December 1 will be a critical platform for the opposition to demand a thorough investigation, increased security measures, and  transparency surrounding the incident, which has exposed deep  anxieties about national security in the capital. The Trinamool

Congress has called for a court-monitored SIT probe and criticized the  government’s response, including Prime Minister Modi's swift dismissal  of critics while visiting Bhutan. Akhilesh Yadav and other leaders  have expressed grief and demanded immediate, comprehensive action to  prevent further breaches. This opposition front represents a  coordinated effort to encircle and pressure the government on issues of terrorism and administrative accountability in the politically  charged atmosphere of the winter parliamentary session.
