Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav is making headlines after a rare public speech in English at the launch of “Vaiko in Parliament” in New Delhi. Opening his address with a warm "Vanakkam," the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister praised MDMK founder Vaiko, describing him as a passionate leader whose speeches inspired him to raise the concerns of people in Uttar Pradesh. The speech drew applause from the audience and quickly went viral on social media.

A massive digital war has officially exploded between the ruling BJP leadership and the viral youth-driven satire platform, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). After Union Minister Kiren Rijiju suggested that the rapidly trending movement relies on social media followers from Pakistan and an "anti-India George Soros gang", CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke fired back with undeniable audience analytics.
