The JMM-Congress-RJD alliance in Jharkhand concluded their 'resort politics' ahead of a crucial floor test scheduled for Monday. New Chief Minister Champai Soren, given a 10-day window, opted to conduct the test on the first day of the assembly’s special session

“Operation lotus” that unsettled the HD Kumaraswamy led Congress-JDS government last year in Karnataka, seems to have made an appearance in the Kamal Nath led Madhya Pradesh government. 3 MLAs have reportedly reached Bengaluru and 9 more are expected to join them
