Jitin Prasada gets opportunity to troll Kapil Sibal on his old tweet, asks how’s the prasad?

Nearly a year after criticizing him for switching over to BJP, former Congress leader and Uttar Pradesh Minister Jitin Prasada has finally got the opportunity to respond Kapil Sibal’s one year old tweet.

In his latest tweet, Jitin Prasada, who had joined the BJP last year in June, had a witty question for his former colleague Kapil Sibal on the day of his departure’s announcement. He took swipe at his former Congress colleague for joining the rival party and asked how’s the prasad Mr Sibal.

Sibal resigned from the Congress today and filed a Rajya Sabha nomination as an Independent candidate supported by Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party. He also told reporters that he had already tendered his resignation from Congress on May 16, days after the Congress’ Chintan Shivir in Udaipur.

Playing with his name, Sibal had tweeted on day of Prasada’s exit from the Congress. Jitin Prasada joins BJP. The question is will he get prasada from BJP or is he just a catch for UP elections? In such deals if ideology doesn’t matter changeover is easy, he had tweeted.

Jitin Prasada, one among the close of former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, was the Congress’s top Brahmin face in Uttar Pradesh, where the assembly elections were held this year in April-May. He was the second high-profile Rahul Gandhi aide to move to the BJP after Jyotiraditya Scindia left in 2020.

Like Sibal and Scindia, Prasada was also the part of G-23 or group of 23 Congress leaders who had demanded from Congress chief Sonia Gandhi to change leadership roles in India’s grand old party.

Earlier, former Punjab Congress chief Sunil Jhakar, Gujarat’s Patidar leader Hardik Patel, former law minister Ashwani Kumar and RPN Singh had already tendered his resignation from the grand old party.

Retired bureaucrats appointed by Mamata Banerjee barred from Bengal offices ahead of BJP government formation

Retired bureaucrats appointed under Mamata Banerjee have been barred from government offices as West Bengal prepares for a BJP-led administration.

In a significant administrative development following the West Bengal Assembly election results, several retired bureaucrats appointed during the tenure of Mamata Banerjee have reportedly been barred from entering state government offices.

The decision comes at a time when the Bharatiya Janata Party is preparing to form its first government in the state after securing a decisive mandate. The move is seen as part of the transition process as the outgoing administration makes way for the incoming regime.

Officials indicated that the restrictions apply specifically to retired personnel who had been given contractual or advisory roles under the previous government. These individuals have now been asked not to access offices or handle official work.

The development follows a broader directive issued by the state administration to ensure that no official documents or records are removed, damaged, or tampered with during the transition period. Authorities have emphasised strict accountability, placing responsibility on departmental heads to safeguard files and maintain proper records.

The political backdrop to this move is the sweeping victory of the BJP in the 2026 West Bengal elections, marking a major shift in the state’s political landscape after years of Trinamool Congress rule.

With the new government expected to take charge soon, administrative reshuffling and tightening of access to government infrastructure are being viewed as measures to ensure a smooth and transparent handover of power.

TMC chief alleges irregularities in electoral process as BJP secures decisive victory in West Bengal

Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on the Election Commission of India, accusing it of playing “nasty games” during the recently concluded West Bengal Assembly elections.

Reacting to her party’s defeat, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief alleged that the electoral process was not conducted fairly and raised serious concerns over the role of authorities in the outcome.

According to reports, Banerjee claimed that the mandate did not reflect the true will of the people, suggesting that irregularities and manipulation may have influenced the results. She questioned the credibility of the election process and indicated that her party would review the situation further.

The remarks came after the Bharatiya Janata Party registered a historic win in West Bengal, marking a major political shift in the state.

Banerjee’s criticism adds to a series of allegations made during and after the election period, where she had earlier also raised concerns about counting procedures and the conduct of central agencies.

Despite the setback, the TMC leadership has signalled that it will continue to challenge the results politically, while maintaining that democratic norms must be upheld.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a sharp attack on the Congress after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led alliance secured a decisive victory in the 2026 Assam Assembly elections.

Reacting to the results, Sarma took a swipe at Congress leader Pawan Khera, saying that the people of Assam had made him “eat pera,” a remark aimed at highlighting the party’s defeat in the state.

The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) registered a commanding win, marking its third consecutive term in Assam. The BJP itself won a significant number of seats, while its allies — the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) and Bodoland People’s Front (BPF) — also contributed to the alliance’s strong tally.

The victory underlines the BJP’s continued dominance in the northeastern state, with Sarma emerging as the central figure in the party’s campaign and governance narrative.

Political observers note that the scale of the mandate reflects voter support for the party’s leadership and its governance approach, even as the opposition struggled to mount an effective challenge.

With this result, the BJP has further strengthened its position in Assam’s political landscape, while the Congress faces renewed questions over its performance in the state.
