- Description
- As the poll results were counted in Bengal, the cloud of the fact that the Bengal polls were to act as the litmus test of whether there is yet any hope in India remaining an electoral democracy remained. The question we need to ask ourselves now is whether this election was a verdict of the people at all. Or is this an instance of the people being overhauled instead of the government? Is it a win if a party wins with the might of the Indian government at its disposal?
Data analyst and expert Aparna Bhattacharya discusses this with The Wire’s Soumashree Sarkar.

- Is Bengal’s voter roll revision just routine - or something more?
The Wire investigation showa how voter deletions during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) in West Bengal are not uniform. From Muslim-dominated border areas to urban belts, patterns suggest targeted exclusions.
In constituencies like Samserganj, over 91,000 voters were deleted - with minority-heavy booths seeing far higher scrutiny.

- The world today runs on oil, and any disruption in its supply can bring multiple industries to a halt. From air travel to your kitchen gas, the ongoing crude oil shortage is impacting daily life in ways we often ignore. But here’s the real question: if oil is this critical to our survival, why haven’t we taken it seriously? Experts now warn that continued mismanagement could even threaten our food security due to a potential fertilizer crisis. Astonishingly, India imports 85–90% of its oil, with nearly half coming from the volatile Gulf region- an area the US refuses to let remain stable. While China and Japan built strategic oil reserves in response, India has no clear answer. We don’t even get official updates anymore on how many days of oil reserves we have left. The Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, two blockades are active, and while Iran has granted passage to Indian ships, America, our so-called best friend, is now creating hurdles. Meanwhile, Russia, under sanctions sin...

- As India voted through record-breaking heat, one major issue stayed missing from most election campaigns: climate and the environment.
From heatwave deaths in West Bengal to coastal erosion and landslides in Kerala, from air pollution and unplanned urbanisation to deforestation in Assam — environmental crises are already shaping everyday life. Yet, most political parties offered few concrete solutions in their manifestos.
This video The Wire's Environment Reporter Aathira Perincherry breaks down:
• How climate change impacted Assembly Elections 2026
• What parties promised — and what they ignored
• Why “development” projects often come at an environmental cost
• The politics of heatwaves, flooding, forests, wetlands and pollution
• And whether India’s elections are prepared for a climate-changed future
Featuring examples from West Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Assam.

Our coverage has revealed that the exercise has, in fact, brought to the forefront some of the more deep-seated issues that Bengal was already dealing with. Communalism, lack of employment, the vulnerability of migrants, unfulfilled political promises, rampant corruption and more. Our reports have focused on large-scale erasures, trends and demographic changes affected by the deletions.

- At a time when the political atmosphere in Bengal is sharply polarised, with leaders of the ruling Trinamool Congress and opposition Bharatiya Janata Party leaving no stone unturned to convince the voter that they belong to opposing ends of the political spectrum, an issue that affects ordinary residents of the state appears to unite both parties.
Rampant sand mining in Bankura’s rivers, especially the Damodar and Darakeswar, is devastating ecosystems, farmland and livelihoods. Villagers allege a powerful syndicate backed by leaders from both BJP and TMC, alongside complicit officials, enables widespread illegal extraction. Labourers face exploitation, earning meagre wages under coercion.

For the first time in India’s electoral history, a secret algorithm was deployed to flag 1.36 crore citizens who had to appear at hearings to prove their eligibility, leading to the mass exclusion of 27 lakh names from the voter list without a hearing.
Analysis by AltNews of 6 constituencies shows a disproportionate impact on Muslims. 93% of voters flagged for adjudication and deletion were Muslim even though they constituted 52% of the electorate.

Last year, Sabina’s nine-year-old daughter Tamanna was killed after Trinamool Congress supporters allegedly targeted the homes of supporters of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in Molandi village following a by-poll victory. Now Yasmin is contesting as a CPI(M) candidate. Her daughter’s killers have not been brought to justice. “I cry every day. But my daughter gives me the strength,” Sabina says.

Keir Starmer is a lawyer not a politician and that's his real problem: former British Minister Sir Andrew Mitchell, to Karan Thapar for The Wire.
.........................................
Sir Keir Starmer the British Prime Minister’s real problem is that he has failed to transition from being a lawyer into a prime minister and senior politician and, as a result, lacks strategy and keeps going back on what he has said and done or acting inadvisably, such as with the appointment of Peter Mandelson as Ambassador to the United States. This is the verdict of former British Secretary of State for International Development and former Deputy Foreign Secretary Andrew Mitchell.
Sir Andrew says that Starmer is now a Prime Minister with serious question marks about his longevity and his capabiliti...

- Vice President has "clearly, patently erred" in accepting merger of AAP MPs with BJP: Abhishek Manu Singhvi, to Karan Thapar for The Wire.
.........................................
Abhishek Manu Singhvi, one of the foremost legal minds in the country, a Rajya Sabha MP and Congress spokesperson, has said that Vice President Radhakrishnan has “clearly, patently erred” in accepting the merger of seven Aam Aadmi Party Rajya Sabha MPs with the BJP. Dr. Singhvi says that this decision by the Vice President can be challenged in Court and it’s quite possible that it will be overturned. Dr. Singhvi points out that in accepting the merger the Vice President has ignored what Dr. Singhvi calls “the preponderance of judgements” and instead allowed himself to be guided by what Dr. Singhvi calls “an awry judgement” in the Chodankar case.
As this is both a technical and very topical issue I will stop there and go no further. I ...

Their departure has triggered a noticeable shortage of domestic workers across several middle-class and affluent neighborhoods in the capital.
This video also brings into focus a deeper question: beyond moments of disruption, what are the everyday working conditions and treatment of these workers in the households they serve?
