Mammootty, Kunchacko, Prithviraj become Kerala's public campaign faces
Digital Desk | Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 4 (IANS) Kerala seems to have found a new way to get its message across. When it comes to public awareness, the state is increasingly turning to its film stars. The latest additions to this growing star cast are actors Kunchacko Boban and Prithviraj, who have been named brand ambassadors of the Forest Department. Forest Minister Shibu Baby John announced their selection. They join an impressive list that includes superstar Mammootty, who is being roped in as the brand ambassador of the Kerala Road Safety Authority. Mammootty has already taken on another public role. Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala recently named him Kerala Police's Cyber Security Captain under the CLICK initiative. So, while Mammootty is expected to spread the message of road safety and cyber awareness, Kunchacko Boban and Prithviraj will carry the message of forest and wildlife protection. It is an interesting mix of cinema and public service, with the state government banking on the popularity of film stars to reach people beyond the usual government advertisements and awareness programmes. The choice is not difficult to understand. Film stars enjoy a reach that government campaigns often struggle to achieve. Their messages can travel quickly through television, social media and fan networks. A familiar face asking people to wear helmets, drive safely, stay alert online or protect forests could have a better chance of catching public attention. The latest appointments also give Kerala an unusual combination of star power across different departments. One actor is being associated with road safety and cyber security, while two others are being roped in to promote conservation. Whether the star appeal will translate into safer roads, more responsible internet use and greater concern for forests remains to be seen. For now, Kerala's government departments appear to have discovered that when public messages need to reach the masses, a little stardom may help.

Abhimanyu Cricket Academy Ground: Karnataka, Vidarbha and Goa registered commanding victories by an innings, while Uttarakhand opened their account with a comprehensive 10-wicket win as the third day of the ongoing third round of the Ranji Trophy 2026 concluded on Wednesday. Karnataka produced a clinical all-round performance to defeat Assam by an innings and 314 runs in their Elite Group B encounter in Guwahati, wrapping up the contest with more than a day to spare. The eight-time champions collected seven points, including a bonus point, to move to the top of the group standings with 16 points. Resuming their first innings at 496/5, Karnataka continued their dominance as they declared at 577/6, establishing a massive lead of 442 runs. Assams batting lineup had little answer to Karnatakas spin attack, with Shreyas Gopal claiming four wickets for 39 runs and Shikhar Shetty returning figures of 3/28 to bowl the hosts out for 128 in 40.2 overs. Earlier, Manvanth Kumars unbeaten century had provided the foundation for Karnatakas imposing first-innings total. Uttarakhand also registered their first victory of the season, defeating Haryana by 10 wickets in their Elite Group D clash at the Abhimanyu Cricket Academy Ground in Dehradun. After posting 305 in their first innings, Uttarakhand bowled Haryana out for 153, with Mayank Mishra picking up six wickets for 57 runs. Haryanas Nishant Sindhu had earlier claimed 5/89 for the visitors. Forced to follow on, Haryana managed 159 in their second innings, with Jagadeesha Suchith taking four wickets for 50 runs. The hosts were left with a target of just nine runs, which they chased down in 1.2 overs without losing a wicket. Dega Nischals 153 off 387 deliveries was the standout contribution in Uttarakhands first innings. Vidarbha completed an innings-and-20-run victory over Madhya Pradesh after producing a dominant bowling performance across both innings. Having dismissed Madhya Pradesh for 209 in their first innings, Vidarbha posted 334/9 before declaring their innings. The visitors struggled once again in their second innings and were dismissed for just 105. Harsh Dubey was the standout performer, taking nine wickets in the first innings, while Dubey and Parth Rekhade claimed five wickets apiece in the second to seal the victory. Goa joined the list of teams registering innings victories after defeating Bihar by an innings and 177 runs. Goa built their commanding position with a first-innings total of 397 before bowling Bihar out for 107. Following on, Bihar failed to put up a stronger fight and were dismissed for 113 in their second innings, handing Goa a comprehensive victory. Meanwhile, Mumbai strengthened their position against Railways, with a 141-run opening partnership between Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Divyaansh Saxena taking their second-innings lead beyond 300 runs. Raghuvanshi scored 79 before falling, while Tushar Deshpande, Suryansh Shedge and Musheer Khan also departed cheaply as Mumbai lost a cluster of wickets during the final half-hour of play. Off-spinner Tanush Kotian had earlier delivered an impressive performance with figures of 7/45 for Mumbai, leaving Railways with a difficult task on the final day. In the encounter between Delhi and Services, the latter held a 202-run lead at the close of play on Day 3. Delhi made an encouraging start with the ball, picking up two wickets in the first five overs, but Mohit Ahlawats impressive 142-run knock helped Services recover and strengthen their position. With only one day remaining, the contest appears to be heading towards a draw, with Delhi facing an uphill task to force a result. Bengal and Maharashtra also witnessed an eventful day, with Mohammed Shamis four-wicket haul helping Bengal dismiss Maharashtra for 218. Bengal, however, lost four wickets in their second innings and reached 76/4 at stumps, holding a slender one-run lead. Play was curtailed due to bad light. In the Gujarat-Kerala fixture, Gujarat enforced the follow-on after dismissing Kerala for 279 in their first innings. Kerala ended the day at 31/1 in their second innings, still facing a considerable deficit. Odisha remained in a difficult position against Jharkhand after the latter declared their first innings at 433/8. Having recovered from an early collapse, Jharkhand built a substantial total and left Odisha with a deficit of 410 runs. Odisha reached 23/0 at stumps and will need a significant effort on the final day to avoid defeat. Hyderabad also face a challenging task against Chhattisgarh, needing another 246 runs to win after being set a target of 259. Hyderabad were 13/2 at stumps, having lost both their opening batters for ducks in the first over. Punjab continued to hold the upper hand against Andhra, who reached 240/2 at the end of the day while chasing Punjabs first-innings total of 529/9 declared. Andhra still trail by 352 runs, with Shaik Rasheed and Karan Shinde leading their efforts to reduce the deficit. Hyderabad also face a challenging task against Chhattisgarh, needing another 246 runs to win after being set a target of 259. Hyderabad were 13/2 at stumps, having lost both their opening batters for ducks in the first over. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Five Indian-American Democrats secure seats in US House of Representatives
Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 4 (IANS) Five Indian-American Democrats secured seats in the US House of Representatives in Tuesday's midterm elections, while a sixth congressional victory remained within reach as physician Amish Shah held a substantial lead in Arizona and Nithya Raman moved ahead in the closely contested Los Angeles mayoral race. Raman, a Los Angeles City Council member, overtook incumbent Mayor Karen Bass as additional ballots were counted overnight in the race to lead America's second-largest city. ABC7 Los Angeles reported Raman receiving 354,214 votes, or 50.55 per cent, against Bass's 346,513 votes, or 49.45 per cent, in results released at 2:05 a.m. Pacific Time. The contest remained too close to call. In congressional elections, Indian-American Democrats Pia Dandiya, Suhas Subramanyam, Pramila Jayapal, Ro Khanna and Ami Bera were projected winners, according to Decision Desk HQ. Dandiya, a former school principal whose parents immigrated from India, defeated Republican Casey Askar in Florida's 22nd Congressional District, securing approximately 52 per cent against Askar's 48 per cent. In Virginia, Subramanyam won a second term from the 10th Congressional District, defeating Republican Dave Beckwith with approximately 61.5 per cent of the vote. The campaign is over, but the work is just beginning. I look forward to working with our community to deliver change in Washington, Subramanyam said in his victory statement. In Washington state, Jayapal won re-election from the 7th Congressional District, while Khanna defeated fellow Indian-American Republican Ritesh Tandon in California's 17th District. California Democrat Bera was also projected to win another term from the newly redrawn 3rd District, defeating Republican Robb Tucker. Indian Americans were also in contention for a sixth House seat, with Democrat Amish Shah leading Republican Jay Feely in Arizona's 1st Congressional District, though the race remained uncalled. Shah, a physician and former Arizona state legislator, had secured approximately 54.6 per cent against Feely's 43.5 per cent, with about 81 per cent of the expected vote counted in an overnight Decision Desk HQ update. In neighbouring Maryland, Indian-American Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller secured another four-year term after Democratic Governor Wes Moore won re-election. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, whose father is of Indian origin, was also re-elected, defeating Republican Eric Toney. Indian-American candidates registered significant gains in state legislative contests. In Texas, Democrat Pooja Sethi led Republican Jennifer Mushtaler in House District 47 by approximately 63.4 per cent to 36.6 per cent, with more than 95 per cent counted. Sethi declared victory, although an independent projection was not immediately available. In Georgia, Democrat Jyot Singh declared victory in House District 97 after unofficial returns showed him leading Republican Yassin Moghazy by approximately 68 per cent to 32 per cent. In Illinois, Democrat Nabeela Syed led Republican incumbent Darby Hills in Senate District 26 with approximately 57 per cent of the vote. Ram Villivalam retained another Illinois Senate seat, while Arvind Venkat won re-election to Pennsylvania's House of Representatives. The most prominent Indian-American Republican defeat came in Ohio, where Democrat Amy Acton defeated Vivek Ramaswamy in the Governor's election despite strong backing from President Donald Trump and Vice President J D Vance. Ramaswamy, whose family traces its roots to Kerala's Palakkad district, conceded the race late Tuesday. In New York, Republican Saritha Komatireddy lost the attorney general's election to Democratic incumbent Letitia James. Other Indian-American candidates who lost included Mahesh Ganorkar in North Carolina and Sandeep Dixit in Ohio. The November 3 elections, held halfway through Trump's second presidential term, gave Democrats projected control of both chambers of Congress. All 435 House seats and 35 Senate seats were contested alongside Governorships and state and local offices. Indian-American political representation has expanded since Dalip Singh Saund became the first Indian-born member of Congress in 1957. Candidates of Indian descent now compete for congressional, statewide and local offices across both major political parties.

IFL 2026/27: Samaleswari SC set for historic home debut against Dempo SC
Digital Desk | Rourkela, Nov 4 (IANS) Samaleswari SC will make their home debut as they face Goan heavyweights Dempo SC in the Indian Football League (IFL) 2026/27 season at the Birsa Munda Athletics Stadium in Rourkela on Thursday. Playing their debut campaign, Samaleswari SC showed a good account of themselves in their first-ever match, going down 2-3 narrowly to former I-League champions Gokulam Kerala FC in Kozhikode after conceding in the seventh minute of injury time. Argentine forward Pereyra Diaz emerged as the standout performer against Gokulam Kerala, constantly testing the opposing goalkeeper with sharp efforts before converting his late penalty, while winger Sahil Harijan provided a persistent spark with his driving runs and chance creation down the left flank. Head coach Abdul Azim Siddique, with a squad featuring 14 players with Indian national team experience across levels alongside a strong local contingent, highlighted how hosting IFL matches in Rourkela will provide a vital platform for organic talent in the state. I am very happy that the IFL is here in Rourkela because the organic talent developed in Odisha previously did not have a platform and had to go to Kolkata or other states to play, Samaleswari SC head coach Abdul Azim Siddique said. Under the vision of our chairperson Jayanarayan Mishra to develop Odisha football, we have 10 players from Odisha in our squad, including five graduates from the Maa Samaleswari Sports Academy in Sambalpur, alongside local talents like Vicky Oram, Roshan Panna, Samir Murmu, and Sahil Harijan, he said. Speaking on the balance of his roster and the significance of playing 10 home matches in the state, Siddique added, Because the competition at the national level is very high, we have also brought in five foreign players; two of whom have represented their countries and 14 players who have represented India at the national level. Playing home-and-away matches across the country is the best way to develop football. There is a big difference between watching on television and watching in the stadium, and this platform will inspire the next generation of local players to reach the Indian national team, he added. Samaleswari SC midfielder and former India U-17 FIFA World Cup captain Kiyam Amarjit Singh echoed his coach's call for the local fans to back the team on their home bow. Having the IFL take place for the first time in Rourkela and Sambalpur is a great platform for football in the region, Kiyam Amarjit Singh said. When fans come to the stadium to support us and see local Odia players competing alongside foreign signings from countries like Argentina and Ghana, it builds a strong sporting culture. We are grateful for the support on our opening home matchday and hope the fans turn out in numbers to back the team. Dempo SC travelled to Odisha with a dramatic victory in their first match of the season. The Golden Eagles secured a 1-0 win over debutants FC Bengaluru United in Fatorda, courtesy of an eighth-minute stoppage-time header from Ghanaian defender Uzziel Yaw Asomaning Budu. Despite dominating possession for large spells, Dempo had to wait until the final moments to break down a resolute Bengaluru defence, a testament to their persistence. Budu proved to be the decisive figure, not only anchoring the defence but rising highest to head home the stoppage-time winner, while Bagkar provided a constant creative spark with his probing runs down the left flank and goalkeeper Bhattacharjee made a crucial second-half intervention to secure the clean sheet. Guided by head coach Samir Naik, the Goan outfit is looking to become more clinical in front of goal while showing full respect to a resilient Samaleswari side. Overall, the entire team played well in our opening game; we had good ball possession, created several chances, and stayed organised defensively to get the three points, Dempo SC head coach Samir Naik said. We know we can do better in converting our opportunities. Some of the new players take a little time to adjust, but I strongly believe we have players who can change the game on their own, and I have full trust that we will improve with every match. Assessing the challenge posed by Samaleswari SC and the travel to Rourkela, Naik added, All teams in this league are equal, and there are no favourites. Samaleswari were 2-0 down in their first match, fought back to 2-2, and only lost in injury time, and they have good players who have proven themselves at the ISL level. It was a long journey for us to get here, though the playing conditions are quite similar to Goa, and as professionals we are ready. Aside from Amay Morajkar, who trained individually today and will be assessed tomorrow, the squad is fit, he added. Dempo SC defender Pruthvesh Pednekar reiterated the positive mood in the dressing room ahead of their first away test. Everyone is working hard in training, and the mood in the camp is very positive after getting the three points in our first game, Pruthvesh Pednekar said. In the opener, we controlled possession well and kept pushing until the final minute to get our reward. We are fully focused on executing the coach's plan tomorrow and fighting to bring home all three points. Statistically, the match brings together two sides that were involved in stoppage-time drama on the opening weekendSamaleswari conceding a 90+7th-minute winner after scoring twice in the final 15 minutes (75' and 90'), and Dempo netting the latest goal of Matchday 1 in the 98th minute (90+8'). Dempo also demonstrated strong control on the ball in their opener, commanding 70 per cent possession and stringing together nearly 250 passes in the first half alone, whereas Samaleswari proved dangerous in the second half after the hour mark, generating a flurry of shots on target to erase a two-goal deficit. With Samaleswari SC eager to mark their historic Odisha home bow with their first points of the campaign, and Dempo SC looking to build on their dramatic opening-day victory, Thursday's clash in Rourkela promises a compelling contest.

Rahul Gandhi blaming BJP for his own failures: Anurag Thakur
Digital Desk | Hamirpur, Nov 4 (IANS) BJP MP and former Union minister Anurag Thakur on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of questioning democratic institutions and electoral processes whenever his party faces electoral defeats. Speaking at the Bharatiya Janata Partys (BJP) public outreach march in Hamirpur town in Himachal Pradesh under the partys campaign, Loktantra Bachao, Arajakta Hatao (Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy), he said that instead of accepting the people's mandate, the Congress leadership was attempting to create confusion and undermine public confidence in the electoral system. The programme began with a parliamentary constituency-level workers conference, attended by state party President Rajeev Bindal and Hamirpur MP and former Union Minister Anurag Singh Thakur. Both leaders addressed party workers and called for strengthening the organisation at the grassroots. Many party workers from Hamirpur, Bilaspur, Una, Dehra, Dharampur, and other areas participated in the outreach march. Referring to elections in Bihar and Kerala following the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, Thakur questioned the Congress position on Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and electoral outcomes. He asked whether the Kerala Chief Minister would also be expected to resign following an electoral defeat if the Congress's allegations regarding EVM-based elections were accepted. He challenged the party to clarify whether its allegations were genuine or whether states like Karnataka and Kerala should respect electoral mandates. Highlighting the Congress's poor performance in student politics, Thakur also referred to the party's student wing's electoral setbacks at Panjab University in Chandigarh and Delhi University in Delhi. He accused Rahul Gandhi of shifting responsibility for the party's organisational shortcomings and political failures onto the BJP instead of undertaking introspection. Taking a swipe at the Congress-led rally in Delhi, Thakur said that despite claims of mobilising approximately one million people, the actual turnout was reportedly much lower than projected. He maintained that repeated electoral defeats reflected the electorate's rejection of the Congress's political approach. He further said that questioning constitutional institutions without credible evidence could weaken public trust in democratic processes. Thakur urged BJP workers to take the party's message to every household and counter what he described as the Congress's misleading narrative.

Setback to Satheesan govt as Kerala HC restores dissolved Milma Board
Digital Desk | Kochi, Nov 4 (IANS) In a setback to the Satheesan-led Kerala government, the High Court on Wednesday quashed its order dissolving the board of directors of the Milma Thiruvananthapuram Regional Co-operative Milk Producers' Union and directed its immediate reinstatement. The Division Bench declared illegal the July 25 order issued by the Director of Dairy Development, which dissolved the elected board and appointed an administrative committee, citing alleged irregularities, including those relating to the supply of ghee to Sabarimala. The Bench, comprising Justices Dr A.K. Jayasankaran Nambiar and A.K. Preetha, allowed an appeal filed by the Union President and other office-bearers against an earlier single judge verdict dismissing their petition. The single judge had declined to interfere with the government's decision to dissolve the board. The office-bearers subsequently challenged that order before the Division Bench. The verdict now requires the elected board to be restored, overturning the government's decision to replace it with an administrative committee. The dissolution had followed allegations of irregularities in the distribution of ghee to the Sabarimala temple. The issue had also triggered a public defence by the Kerala Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (Milma). On August 3, Milma had maintained that there was no lapse in the supply of ghee to Sabarimala and that only premium-quality ghee meeting prescribed standards was supplied. Milma Chairman K.S. Mani had said the ghee underwent stringent quality checks before being dispatched. He had also stressed that the federation had never compromised on the quality or purity of its products. Mani said the ghee was packed in fully sealed 15-kg tins, ruling out the possibility of alteration or tampering during transit. He also said Milma had received no official communication from the Devaswom authorities about any quality complaints and had received full payment for the supply. He had further said that any replacement of Milma ghee with substandard products after delivery would amount to a serious offence and that those responsible should face legal action. The Division Bench verdict is a significant legal setback for the government, as it overturns the administrative action taken against the elected board.

Keralam CM confirms meeting businessman suspected of sting operation
Netflixs Gajab Raat is generating positive reactions on social media. The film stars Manoj Bajpayee as the Delhi Police cop Ajay Nirvit along with Sumit Gahlawat as his colleague Tomar. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Sumit said that he is happy with the reactions the film has generated and this also includes memes being made on his and Bajpayees scenes. I am very overwhelmed by the amazing reactions, he said. Its been one week since the release and (I am) still getting countless messages on social media. Specially, when people noticed small gestures where I am not even speaking any dialogues. That means a lot to me. On social media, there are many memes I saw where me and Manoj sirs scenes were involved. That is something I am experiencing for the first time. For Sumit, one reaction stayed special. Best message I got was when someone said, For Tomar, his senior Nirvit is his world. Tomar doesnt want to know what is right or wrong. He only knows that his senior is always right. So, people saw this level of chemistry between us. As far as preparations are concerned, Sumit relied more on what his co-actor did. I had to rely on the most basic and necessary thing listen to your co-actor very actively, especially for this role. Manoj sir improvised a lot, so for that you have to react genuinely on what he is saying in the moment. He added, Also, I dont think of this role as only a cop. For me, I had to think how Tomar is as a human, what is his thought process as an individual, etc. The cop part comes on at a very later stage, and in that also I just had to make a backstory of how Tomar and his senior Nirvits relationship is. That is the centre point for me because that chemistry between these two must be very authentic. It was a dream-come-true for Sumit to share screen with someone as veteran as Bajpayee. But there was also some nervousness. I am a huge admirer of Manoj sir since my childhood, from Satya to Shool to Gangs Of Wasseypur to Raajneeti and many more. Honestly speaking, I was very nervous before the shoot as to how I am going to perform with the legend, what if I make a mistake and he has to give another take because of me. Many things were going on in my mind. However, all went well for Sumit at the start itself. On the first day of the shoot itself when I shot my first scene with him, I realized how easy he is as a co-actor. He is so funny off camera; no serious attitude. I just went with flow with him and everyday was a day to remember for me, he said. In the near past, Sumit has acted in Vipul Amrutlal Shahs The Kerala Story (2023). Later, he became the only actor to be repeated in its sequel The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond (2026). In between, he also acted in Shahs Bastar: The Naxal Story (2024). Speaking about his equation with Shah, the actor said, Vipul sir is such a relaxed person and so supportive always. I dont have to be formal in front of him anymore. Thats the ease I have with him now. It always feels good when you get to perform challenging roles and the trust makers show in you that they repeat you in their films consistently. When asked about his forthcoming projects, Sumit Gahlawat revealed, Next, I think in December my show with Nawaz sir (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) and Dia Mirza maam named Hassan MD will release on JioHotstar.

Vivek Ramaswamy loses Ohio race; Amy Acton becomes first Democrat to win office in 20 years
Digital Desk | Washington, Nov 4 (IANS) Indian-American Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, whose family traces its roots to Kerala, conceded Ohio's gubernatorial election to Democrat Amy Acton, ending a high-profile campaign strongly backed by President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. The defeat represented a major electoral setback for Republicans in a state Trump won comfortably in 2024. Acton, a 60-year-old physician and former Ohio health director, on Tuesday night (local time) became the first woman elected governor of Ohio and the first Democrat to win the office since 2006. Late election-night returns showed Acton receiving approximately 51 per cent of the vote against Ramaswamy's 46 per cent, with Libertarian Don Kissick securing about three per cent. The result represented a swing of roughly 16 percentage points towards Democrats compared with Trump's 11-point victory margin in Ohio in the 2024 presidential election. Speaking at his election-night gathering in Ohio, Ramaswamy acknowledged defeat and said he had contacted Acton to congratulate her. In his remarks, Ramaswamy thanked supporters and spoke about continuing to serve Ohio outside public life. He also thanked his parents, wife Apoorva, their three children and his running mate, Ohio Senate President Rob McColley. Ramaswamy, 41, had sought to become Ohio's first Indian-American Governor after emerging as a prominent national Republican figure through his unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign. His defeat carried significance beyond Ohio because Trump and Vance had invested considerable political capital in his candidacy. Addressing a Republican rally in Chillicothe on October 28, Trump had declared: Six days from now, the people of Ohio are going to elect Vivek Ramaswamy as your Governor. Trump subsequently held another campaign event by telephone on October 31, urging Republican voters to turn out for Ramaswamy and other party candidates. Vance, a former Ohio senator, returned to his home state on November 2 for an election-eve rally in Swanton. So I know that we are going to elect Vivek Ramaswamy and Jon Husted, Vance told supporters. The results went against both predictions. Democrat Sherrod Brown also defeated Republican Senator Jon Husted, handing the party another significant Ohio loss. Ramaswamy's campaign had become increasingly bitter in its closing weeks after an advertisement featuring Acton's estranged mother accused the Democrat of dishonesty. The advertisement drew criticism from Democrats and Republicans, including outgoing Governor Mike DeWine, while Trump defended Ramaswamy's decision to use it. Ramaswamy campaigned on lowering taxes, deregulation and reducing government expenditure. Acton emphasised affordability, healthcare, education and relief for working families. The Republican candidate also invested heavily in the race, lending more than $36 million of his own money to his campaign by late September. Born in Cincinnati in 1985, Ramaswamy is the son of Indian immigrants with ancestral roots in Vadakkencherry in Kerala's Palakkad district. His father, V.G. Ramaswamy, studied in Kerala before moving to the United States, where he worked as an engineer. His mother, Geetha Ramaswamy, is a psychiatrist. Ramaswamy graduated from Harvard University and Yale Law School and founded the biotechnology company Roivant Sciences in 2014.

US Midterms 2026: Democrats make early gains, Indian-Americans win key races
Washington, Nov 04: Indian-American Democrats Suhas Subramanyam, Aruna Miller have secured re-election, and Pia Dandiya has clinched victory in the 2026 US midterm elections, marking early successes for candidates from the community as the first results emerged. Subramanyam, 40, was on Tuesday re-elected as US Congressman from Virginia; Miller, 61, retained her position as Marylands Lieutenant Governor and Dandiya, 39, won Floridas 22nd congressional district. Meanwhile, Republican Vivek Ramaswamy was trailing in Ohios governors race. Americans voted in the most consequential midterm elections, which early surveys predicted as a rebuke to President Donald Trump, signalling a mood for change. Other Indian-American candidates are awaiting their results; vote counting was still underway. Republican Shelley Capito from West Virginia and Democrat Wesley Bell in Missouri's 1st Congressional District have won re-election. Democrats flipped a Senate seat in North Carolina and won races in Georgia and New Hampshire on Tuesday. Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper won against Republican Michael Whatley. Over 210 million Americans were eligible to vote in the elections, which began at 6.00 am eastern time on Tuesday for 435 seats of the US House of Representatives, 37 seats of the US Senate, 36 posts of state governors and a slew of local public offices. According to some preliminary national results of CNNs Voter Poll, voters were broadly unhappy with the state of the nation, the condition of the economy and Trumps job performance. Trump was in his White House office throughout the day with his advisors as Americans lined up to vote at polling booths across the country. On Tuesday afternoon, he shared endorsements for Republican candidates in a series of posts on X. Speaking to staffers and volunteers at a phone bank in Washington, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said the Democrats were on the brink of dramatic change and on the brink of taking back the House. Were going to deliver a Congress that actually puts the American people first, he said. A Fox News voters survey found that the most important issue facing the country is the economy, followed closely by the state of democracy. At the White House, Trump was watching the pre-election results coverage on Fox News but complained about a liberal commentator on the television channel. Watching the Pre-Election Results on Fox News, but I cant stand Jessica Tarlovs voice DUMB AS A ROCK, but its the voice that gets me. Have to go somewhere else until that LOSER is off the air Ill be back later, Trump wrote on Truth Social. Throughout the day, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Interior Secretary Doug Burgham and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin spoke to reporters about the achievements of the Trump administration. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was seen entering the West Wing of the White House and indicated that he would not like to speak. In a post on X, Vice President J D Vance sought to remind voters about the Trump administration's effort to cut taxes over the past year and a half. We ended taxes on overtime. We ended taxes on tips. We ended taxes on Social Security, Vance wrote on the social media platform. On polling day, Trump sprung a surprise by announcing that the US will stop providing Israel USD 4 billion in aid from next year, which Democrat Ro Khanna described as a desperate attempt to stave off a Blue tsunami. The elections will decide whether President Trump's Republican Party retains control of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the two chambers of the US Congress, or, as opinion polls are predicting, the Democratic Party wrests control of at least the House if not the Senate, also in the final two years of Trump's second term in office. On the eve of the elections, the US launched limited strikes on Iran's Qesham island in the Hormuz Strait. Officials said that the strikes were in response to Iran firing at a US aircraft. Democrat Nithya Raman, who was born in Kerala, is locked in a keen contest with her former boss Karen Bass for the post of Mayor of Los Angeles, the US's second-largest city. Indian-American lawmakers Ro Khanna, Ami Bera, Pramila Jayapal are seeking re-election to the US House of Representatives, while fellow Democrat Amish Shah is in the fray in competitive races to make their debut as Congresspersons. If the pre-poll forecasts come true and Democrats take control of the US Congress, it will allow for deeper Congressional scrutiny and checks of Trump's actions, which will severely limit his ability to push his agenda. He will, however, retain the power to govern through executive orders, which will be valid for two years. Trump acknowledged the possibility of his wings being clipped but indicated that he will not allow Congress to slow him down. I guess I'll become Mr Veto, Trump told the New York Post's Pod Force One podcast in response to a question on Republicans losing control of both Houses of the US Congress, referring to the presidential power to veto actions by Congress. The Democrats are hoping to flip seven Senate seats -- Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Kansas, Texas, Iowa and Alaska -- in their bid to gain a majority in the 100-member House. Each of the 50 states in the United States is represented by two Senators who sit in the Congress for a six-year term. But the Senators are divided into three lots, and their terms are staggered so that elections are held every two years. The House members are elected for a two-year term. Republicans enjoy a majority in both chambers of Congress, but by thin margins. In the House of Representatives, Speaker Mike Johnson has 218 Republicans and one independent, Kevin Kiley of California, against 214 Democrats, with two seats vacant. The Senate is split 53-47 in favour of the Republicans. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to wrest control of the chamber. Of the 35 Senate seats on the ballot, 22 are held by Republicans.

Rajiv-Farooq rigged 1987 polls: Ram Madhav
Jammu, Nov 3:BJP national vice president Ram Madhav on Tuesday, in a direct dig at LOP in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and his ally NC leadership, alleged that contrary to Congress accusations (against BJP), it was former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi joined by the then Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah, who had massively rigged assembly elections in 1987, leading to emergence of terrorism in J&K. Referring to the Congress allegations against the Modi government of committing electoral frauds, Madhav asserted, In fact, in the history of the country, only two Prime Ministers actually committed such proven electoral frauds. One was Rahuljis grand-mother Indira Gandhi, whose election was declared void by Allahabad court proving the charge that the official election machinery was misused by her to emerge victorious. In response, Indira imposed an emergency in the country. Secondly in 1987 in J&K assembly elections, Rahuls father and the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in league with Farooq Abdullah, who was then J&K Chief Minister had resorted to large-scale irregularities in the election process, leading to emergence of terrorism here (in J&K). These are well-recorded facts, he maintained. Madhav, accompanied by J&K BJP general secretaries Gopal Mahajan, Baldev Singh Billawaria, chief spokesperson Sunil Sethi and other senior leaders, was addressing a press conference at BJP headquarter, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. He accused the Congress of attempting to fulfill its avowed objective of regime change through anarchy, violence and riots as it could not win power through democratic means of electoral battle. But people are with Modiji and this became evident again during their oppositions much hyped Ramlila Maidan rally, where 23 parties together could hardly bring 50,000 or 60,000 people against their haughty claims of 1 million people. BJP, even in a normal rally in an assembly constituency of Jammu, can bring 5000 people, he maintained. With regard to questions about NC rebellion post cabinet expansion and speculations linking his visit to efforts of BJP government formation, he refused to make any comment. Im here to address only the issue related to fake propaganda being run by the opposition on Special Intensive Revision (SIR) across the country and particularly in the union capital. For the past few months, the main opposition party Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi have been busy spreading lies that the Election Commission has manipulated the country's electoral system, Madhav said. The Election Commission will reply to these allegations and they have already submitted a detailed affidavit in the Supreme Court vis-a-vis entire process of SIR and all facts related to it. But we want to expose Congress real intentions behind the controversy they wilfully created to achieve its objective of regime-change but not through democratic means. Their leaders are spelling out openly at every public forum and social media that they wanted regime-change like it happened in Bangladesh and Nepal, he said. It was because the opposition had realised that they could not defeat BJP, the Prime Minister Narenda Modi electorally, so they (Congress and other opposition parties) wanted to overthrow democratically-elected regime and wrest power through anarchy, creating doubts about constitutional institutions, Madhav alleged. However, the people of India will never allow the Congress to succeed in its intentions to spread anarchy in the country, he asserted. Madhav described all allegations of Congress regarding SIR exercise, presently underway in many parts of the country and already completed in several states, as out and out white lies. BJP national vice president reiterated that the Election Commission, through constitutional exercise SIR, was actually cleansing the electoral system of all sins of Congress which fiddled with the electoral rolls during the past several decades. He asserted that the Congress's politics of confusion, confrontation and institutional distrust would not succeed in India. Madhav stated the SIR exercise, being undertaken after nearly two decades, was a legitimate democratic process in which Booth Level Officers (BLOs) were conducting door-to-door verification to ensure the accuracy and integrity of electoral rolls and identify illegal entries, including those of foreign nationals residing illegally in India. He alleged that the Congress wanted illegal voters to remain on electoral rolls because its political calculations depended on manipulating the electoral environment. He said the opposition's repeated allegations against constitutional institutions were part of a larger conspiracy to create street unrest and engineer political instability, drawing parallels with developments in neighbouring Bangladesh and Nepal. Regarding Congress main allegation that the names of 13 crore voters were deleted (through SIR exercise), Madhav questioned why it could not bring those people to the fore. Where are those 13 Cr voters whose names, according to the Congress, have been deleted? SIR is cleansing electoral rolls of discrepancies through constitutionally valid SIR exercise, happening after a gap of 20 years. The names of dead (around 2-3 Cr), transferred (around 6 Cr), non-existent voters (1 or 2 Cr) and infiltrators who are illegal voters have been deleted and are being deleted. Like in Jammu, Rohingyas have settled at many places. The names of such infiltrators, illegal immigrants get deleted. This is imperative. Does the Congress want those infiltrators to be included in the electoral rolls as its prospective voters, he threw a poser. He asserted that one to two crore people, who were genuine voters yet their names were deleted through computer based mechanism, could go and get their names included in the electoral rolls as per the set procedure and there was no bar on it. He alleged that earlier Congress was blaming EVMs for its defeats but could not establish the charge and currently, it was accusing BJP of stealing mandate through vote-Chori. Between 2014 and 2024, the Congress lost 56 assembly polls and three parliamentary elections i.e., 2014, 2019 and 2024. But that time present Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar was not there. Then how was Congress defeated? They (Congress) have no logic and it is resorting to political conspiracy. The government is willing to convene a special Parliament session but they (opposition) are running away. They are only trying to provoke people through false propaganda, Madhav alleged. He mocked that the Congress was crediting BJP for its electoral victories in Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana stating that they were made to win by it (BJP) so that it (BJP) could justify its electoral fraud in other states and parliamentary polls. Nothing could be more ridiculous than this illogical explanation about their wins through the same electoral system, which they are criticising. This depicts how pitiable their condition is, he said. Madhav explained that they (Congress) were seeking replacement of EVMs with the ballot papers. In the recent municipal polls conducted through ballot papers in October, Congress could win only two wards out of 42 wards. In MLC elections, which are always conducted through ballot papers, out of 28 seats, BJP-allies won 16 seats and BJP won 13 seats but Congress could win only one seat. Responding to another question, he said that there could be possibilities of some discrepancies or errors in SIR exercise, conducted through computer-based mechanisms. Those errors can always be rectified. If the names of genuine voters get deleted, they can get their names added in the voter lists through relevant forms. Revision is a constitutional process. In Uttarakhand, where Im (BJP) Prabhari, names deleted mainly comprised Hindu voters and this happened at some other places. Eligible persons can always get their names included, he explained.
