The Congress government in Telangana announced plans to inaugurate a "Donald Trump Avenue" in Hyderabad. The road, located near the United States Consulate in Cyberabad's Financial District, is scheduled to be inaugurated on June 23 in the presence of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and senior US officials. The move has triggered intense debate because Congress leaders have repeatedly attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his handling of Donald Trump and US relations. The BJP is now accusing Congress of hypocrisy, asking why a Congress government is honouring the very leader its national leadership has criticised.

The political crisis within the Trinamool Congress has taken a dramatic turn after rebel MP Arup Chakraborty made a series of explosive claims regarding Mamata Banerjee, her leadership and the influence of family dynamics within the party. In remarks that have sparked intense political debate, Chakraborty alleged that Mamata Banerjee was not allowed to function independently and was subjected to significant pressure from within her own circle. He claimed that the TMC supremo wanted to work in a neutral and independent manner but was prevented from doing so. WATCH
