Patna buzzed with political heat as Industry Minister Dilip Jaiswal tore into Congress for allegedly plotting India’s downfall through a no-confidence gambit on Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. “This is their DNA—endless efforts to topple the nation while we build its global might,” Jaiswal fumed, underscoring the opposition’s assault on governance and Constitution.
He assured that such ploys are futile against a resolute leadership. On Mamata Banerjee’s slight to President Murmu, Jaiswal decried the TMC’s protocol breach as a direct challenge to constitutional supremacy, intolerable in a democracy.
Cricket fever stole the spotlight with Team India’s masterclass in the T20 World Cup 2026 final. Against New Zealand in Ahmedabad, India posted 256, then skittled the Black Caps for 159 in a 96-run rout. Jaiswal raved about Ishan’s brilliance and the team’s all-round dominance, mirroring the nation’s thrilled vigil.
Historic as India’s first home T20 World Cup win and third overall, the triumph ignited coast-to-coast revelry. Leaders from President Murmu to PM Modi led the applause, capping a day of contrasts—political barbs and sporting ecstasy.
