On Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena’s request, the Union Home Ministry on September 27, ordered a CBI inquiry into the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence renovation case.

According to reports, a Preliminary Enquiry (PE) in this case has been registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

In May this year, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena had written a five-page letter to the CBI to initiate an inquiry into the matter.

Based on a letter written by the Delhi LG, the Union Home Ministry has ordered a probe into Kejriwal’s residence renovation case.

According to reports, the Home Ministry has also ordered a special audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) in this case.

The Public Works Department, which comes under the Delhi government, has been asked by the CBI to hand over all documents before October 3 in this matter.

All the aspects of the alleged irregularities that have been revealed in the inquiry conducted by the Chief Secretary of Delhi, will be probed by the central probe agency in this case.  

Earlier this year, BJP accused Arvind Kejriwal of spending Rs 45 crore on the beautification of his official residence in Civil Lines of the national capital.

After a controversy erupted, the Delhi LG Saxena following the allegation by the BJP, directed the Chief Secretary to submit a report on the matter. He also asked the official to take all the records in this case.  

Saxena wrote to the central probe agency based on the Chief Secretary’s report, demanding an inquiry into the matter.  

Aam Aadmi Party has spoken on the Preliminary Enquiry registered by CBI in connection with alleged irregularities in the construction and renovation of Delhi CM Kejriwal’s residence. The party said the BJP has used all its strength to destroy the Aam Aadmi Party.

Now all the investigating agencies have been deployed to siege Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal. But the blessings of 2 crore people of Delhi are with Arvind Kejriwal, the AAP said on Wednesday. They further added nothing will come out of this investigation. No matter how much investigation the BJP wants, Kejriwal will continue to fight for the interests of the common man, the party said after CBI registered PE in the case.

Meanwhile, BJP Delhi Chief Virendra Sachdeva said after the CBI investigation, Kejriwal would have to answer who gave the order for all these constructions at the CM’s residence, the BJP leader said.

A major cabinet expansion took place in Bihar on Thursday, with 32 leaders from the ruling NDA alliance inducted into the state government. Among the prominent names was Nishant Kumar, son of former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who entered the cabinet for the first time.

The expansion included representatives from all major NDA allies in the state. According to reports, the BJP secured 15 ministerial berths, while JD(U) got 13 positions. Two ministers were inducted from Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), while Hindustani Awam Morcha and Rashtriya Lok Morcha received one berth each.

The oath-taking ceremony was held in Patna in the presence of senior NDA leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Nishant Kumar’s induction comes weeks after he formally entered active politics. His entry into the Bihar cabinet is being viewed as a significant development for JD(U), which had long projected an anti-dynasty image under Nitish Kumar’s leadership.

The cabinet reshuffle follows Nitish Kumar’s move to the Rajya Sabha earlier this year and the formation of the government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said Operation Sindoor demonstrated India’s firm response against terrorism and highlighted the country’s commitment to national security.

Marking one year of the operation, the Prime Minister praised the courage, precision and professionalism of the Indian armed forces. He said the military action was carried out in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that had claimed the lives of 26 civilians in 2025.

Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, 2025, as a calibrated tri-services operation targeting terror infrastructure linked to cross-border terrorism. Reports said the operation showcased coordinated action by the armed forces and was seen as a major counter-terror response by India.

On the anniversary of the operation, PM Modi also changed the display pictures across his social media platforms, including X, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The image carried the text “Operation Sindoor” along with the Indian tricolour design.

The Indian Air Force also shared visuals and messages recalling the operation and highlighting India’s military response. A video released by the force described the operation as a strong message against terrorism and referred to the precision strikes carried out during the mission.

Operation Sindoor was launched following the Pahalgam terror attack, after which India carried out strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, according to official statements and reports published at the time.

Actor-turned-politician Vijay met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar again on Thursday as his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), continued efforts to prove it has enough support to form the next government in the state.

TVK emerged as the single-largest party in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly after winning 108 seats, but it remains short of the majority mark of 118.

The Congress has extended support to TVK, adding five MLAs to Vijay’s side. However, the alliance still needs additional backing from other parties or independents to comfortably cross the halfway mark.

According to reports, the Governor has not yet been fully convinced that TVK currently has the required numbers to form a stable government. This has delayed clarity over the swearing-in ceremony and the formal invitation to form the government.

Political activity intensified after reports emerged that some AIADMK legislators were moved to a resort in Puducherry amid speculation over possible support to TVK. AIADMK leaders, however, publicly denied any internal crisis.

TVK sources have expressed confidence that the party will be able to demonstrate majority support during discussions with the Governor.

The Tamil Nadu election results marked a major political shift in the state, with TVK breaking the long-standing dominance of the DMK and AIADMK in its first Assembly election contest.
