ManipurManipur has been under President's rule since February 13, 2025, after then Chief Minister N Biren Singh resigned on February 9 following months of ethnic violence between Meitei and Kuki communities.

The 60-member Manipur Legislative Assembly has been placed under suspended animation, though its tenure is scheduled to continue until March 2027.

Four Naxalites carrying a cumulative reward of Rs 8 lakh surrendered in which district of Chhattisgarh under the state's rehabilitation initiative?
SukmaFour Naxalites, including two women, surrendered in Sukma district of Chhattisgarh on January 30, 2026, along with their weapons under the state government's 'Poona Margem' (from rehabilitation to social reintegration) initiative. The surrendered cadres belonged to the Kistaram area committee of the south Bastar division of Maoists and handed over weapons including one INSAS rifle, a Single Loading Rifle (SLR), one .303 rifle and a .315 rifle along with ammunition. Among them, Sodhi Jogga, an area committee member, carried a reward of Rs 5 lakh, while the other three cadres carried bounties of Rs 1 lakh each. Police officials attributed the frequent surrenders to newly established security camps in Kistaram and Golapalli areas, improved road connectivity, and successful anti-Naxal operations that have significantly reduced the Maoists' area of free movement. With this surrender, over 200 Naxalites have laid down arms in Chhattisgarh so far in 2026.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin recently criticized the BJP for allegedly 'washing' which political party in their 'washing machine' despite its corruption conviction by the Supreme Court?
AIADMKTamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin launched a sharp attack on the BJP during the NDTV Tamil Nadu Summit on January 30, 2026, questioning whether their alliance partner AIADMK had been 'cleaned in their washing machine' despite being convicted by the Supreme Court in corruption cases. Stalin highlighted the hypocrisy of the BJP, noting that when they were not in alliance with AIADMK, they had leveled numerous corruption allegations against them. The DMK chief defended his government against baseless corruption charges, stating that no single allegation against his administration had been proven so far. He also countered the Opposition's claim that Tamil Nadu is anti-Hindu by mentioning that over 4,000 temple consecrations were conducted during the DMK's 1,730 days in power—a scale he claimed hadn't been achieved even in BJP-ruled states. Stalin further demanded answers from the Centre regarding delayed education funds, approval of Coimbatore and Madurai metro rail projects, and the official release of the Keezhadi archaeological report.
