Prime Minister Narendra Modi has crossed a historic political milestone, surpassing Jawaharlal Nehru's record to become India's longest-serving elected Prime Minister in continuous office. With 4,399 days in power, Modi's achievement marks a defining moment in India's democratic journey. As the NDA celebrates 12 years of governance, top leaders from across the country are gathering at Bharat Mandapam for a landmark conclave expected to shape the coalition's future roadmap. The alliance is likely to honour PM Modi's record-breaking tenure while reviewing major welfare schemes, infrastructure achievements, and the vision for Viksit Bharat 2047. WATCH

Massive outrage has erupted across Tamil Nadu after a viral video allegedly showed senior police officials laughing and casually interacting moments before a press briefing on the horrific rape and murder of a 10-year-old girl in Coimbatore’s Sulur area. The clip has sparked widespread anger online, with many questioning the sensitivity and conduct of officials handling such a tragic case. The child, a Class 4 student, went missing after visiting a nearby shop and was later found dead near a pond in the Kannampalayam lake area. Police formed multiple special teams and reviewed footage from around 200 CCTV cameras before arresting two accused in connection with the crime. According to investigators, the main accused allegedly lured the child away by offering chocolates. The viral video showed senior officers, including IG R V Ramya Bharathi, smiling and laughing before the press conference began. The visuals quickly triggered backlash, protests and candlelight vigils across Tamil Nadu. Opposition parties also attacked the Vijay government over law and order and alleged insensitivity.
