The work on setting up 11,000 hotspots across Delhi is in progress. On December 16, 100 hotspots will be inaugurated launching the Delhi government's free Wi-Fi scheme, CM Arvind Kejriwal said.

The by-elections in Karnataka were necessitated due to disqualification of 17 Congress and JD(S) rebel legislators after they resigned from the assembly in mid-July in protest against the then government's functioning.

The House will remain adjourned till December 5, Speaker Biman Banerjee said in the Assembly, adding that the session will resume from December 6 at 11 am.

Party chief Arvind Kejriwal wasted no time after the AAP’s drubbing in the recently concluded Lok Sabha elections and among other things, ordered his MLAs to intensify their people-to-people contact.

In the clipping posted by a user on Sunday, a party leader can be seen and heard shouting slogans of 'Priyanka Gandhi zindabad' and 'Sonia Gandhi zindabad', to which the supports respond enthusiastically.

Modi has always praised Pawar and made it a point not to launch a vicious attack against him during the state election campaign.

Addressing a poll meeting in Jharkhand, Amit Shah said national and local issues were equally important for Jharkhand as people in the state wanted terrorism to be rooted out just as Naxalism.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s remarks drew varied responses, with the opposition Congress seizing on it to criticise the government.

Attacking Fadnavis again over the hush-hush ceremony in which he was sworn in as chief minister on November 23 but had to quit 80 hours later, an editorial in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana' said the BJP has lost a face having mass appeal.

The governor also said appropriate measures would be taken to bail out farmers whose Kharif crop got damaged in unseasonal rains in November.

Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut had earlier said that after Maharashtra, an anti-BJP front was shaping up in Goa. Congress' state unit, however, ruled out joining any front saying that it prefers to be in opposition.

Uddhav Thackeray also noted that he is the first chief minister of Maharashtra who was born in Mumbai, and added that he is working on plans to ensure development of the city.

Thakur accused the Congress MP of breaching her privilege as a parliamentarian by calling her a 'terrorist' even though there is no court conviction against her and sought action against him from the Speaker.

GFP president and former Deputy Chief Minister Vijai Sardesai said they will interact with people who are ready to oust the BJP government in Goa through Maharashtra-like model.

Recent setbacks in the bypolls Vikiravandi and Nanguneri constituencies has forced the DMK to go back to the drawing. AIADMK had won the two seats, which were held by the DMK and ally Congress last month.

The Sena made the comments in its mouthpiece 'Saamana' as it latched onto wishes extended by Modi to Thackeray after he took oath as the chief minister on Thursday evening.
