100 days: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta highlights policy push, integrity in governance
Speaking at a public programme at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Ms. Gupta emphasised that her administration had laid focus on policy formulation, rather than making "false promises."
"My government spent 100 days in making policies and working for the betterment of Delhi," she said, adding, "We can't make false promises. We are working honestly to solve issues like the cleaning of the Yamuna and removal of garbage dumps." Ms. Gupta also revealed her plan to introduce an ordinance to regulate the private school fees.
"Education should be accessible and fair. We are committed to ensuring that no parent is burdened unfairly," she said.
The Chief Minister dubbed as successful her government's Vaya Vandana scheme, which offers citizens aged 70 and above health insurance coverage of up to ₹10 lakh. "Around 1.5 lakh registrations have already been completed," she said.
The BJP leader also trained her guns at the previous Aam Aadmi Party-led government, and said, "Thousands joined the movement hoping for change, but the people who claimed to have no hunger for power became consumed by it. The public's trust was broken." "How can the national capital be the most polluted when cleaning the Yamuna was never even considered seriously?" she said.
This is Bharatiya Janata Party's first stint in the State after 27 years.
In the February Assembly elections, the BJP secured 48 out of 70 seats, ending a decade of AAP's governance.

Will hold dharna if West Bengal's college admissions do not begin soon, warns BJP
Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari warned of sit-in demonstrations outside the State Education Department headquarters at Bikash Bhavan from next week if the State government does not initiate college admissions and publish pending exam results by the end of this week (August 24, 2025). On Monday (August 18, 2025), Mr. Adhikari headed a delegation of 15 Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislators to meet Governor CV Ananda Bose and submitted a memorandum seeking his urgent intervention in the prolonged delay in the publishing of results of the West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination (WBJEE). WBJEE, an entrance exam for undergraduate engineering, technology, architecture, and pharmacy courses in West Bengal's State-run and State-aided universities, was conducted on April 27, but the results have been delayed, likely because the matter surrounding the State's Other Backward Classes (OBC) reservation list is currently being heard by the Supreme Court. 'It has been three months [since examinations have been concluded], yet first-year admissions have not yet begun. JEE results have not been declared. This is a very serious issue. Nearly 5 lakh candidates and their guardians are very worried. They are suffering… If college admissions do not start by this week and the JEE results are not published, BJP MLAs will hold dharnas in front of Bikash Bhavan from next week,' Mr. Adhikari said after meeting the Governor. In West Bengal, 8,200 educational institutions shut down last year, Mr. Adhikari said. He also accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of trying to privatise higher education in the State. 'The delay will lead to drop [in] student turnout as many may be forced to reluctantly seek opportunity outside Bengal. In addition to the worst hit future of lakhs of meritorious students, the reputation of the educational institution in West Bengal [gets] hit which will reduce the number of students as they will go outside in huge number,' the memorandum to the Governor dated August 18, 2025, reads. Meanwhile, the West Bengal government's Directorate of Medical Education, in an 'urgent notice' on August 18, announced that the counselling and admission process for medical and dental courses under National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Undergraduate (NEET UG) 2025 'has been kept under abeyance till further order.' 'The future of the state's medical students has been pushed into darkness. Why was the admission counseling, once started, suddenly halted indefinitely? Is this yet another attempt to appease narrow political interests by granting undue privilege to a particular group under the guise of reservation?' Union Minister and BJP MP Sukanta Majumdar questioned on Monday, referring to the order. On Tuesday, August 19, 2025, activists of the Students Federation of India (SFI) staged a demonstration near Bikash Bhavan to protest against the delay in WBJEE results and the deferment of MBBS and BDS counselling. Several protestors were detained as the police disrupted SFI's protest march to Bikash Bhavan.

Plan to reduce buffer zones around lakes raises hackles
Bengaluru: Deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar Tuesday told the assembly that the govt plans to construct public roads and utilities along 300km of buffer zones around water bodies in Bengaluru. He said this during a heated debate on an amendment to the Karnataka Lake Conservation and Development Authority Act, 2014, which reduces buffer zones around lakes depending on their size. While some BJP members attacked the move as a blow to Bengaluru's environment, others from the coastal districts welcomed it as relief for residents whose homes are located near small water bodies. Shivakumar said that as minister in charge of Bengaluru, he had identified 300km of buffer zone that need to be safeguarded. "For this purpose, we plan to construct public roads and set up utility areas to ensure private parties cannot encroach these areas," he said.

Kumar said Bengaluru was already "competing with Delhi" for being the most unliveable city. "Now, by reducing buffer zones, the govt is inviting more people to encroach upon lakes," he said. Ashoka backed Kumar's call, urging the govt to reconsider the legislation. "There are more concerns than solutions with this decision," he said. But BJP members from coastal districts welcomed the bill. "I welcome this bill on behalf of coastal districts where water bodies are smaller in size and land for people to construct their homes are in close proximity to them," said Kiran Kumar Kodigi from Kundapur. Shivakumar insisted that no undue advantage was being extended to builders. "We cannot have one rule for Bengaluru and another for coastal districts," he said.

Student loan forgiveness backlog deepens, leaving thousands in limbo
The Department of Education is grappling with an unprecedented backlog of applications for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Buyback program, creating a prolonged period of uncertainty for tens of thousands of federal student loan borrowers. The program, established in 2023 during the Biden-Harris administration, is designed to allow borrowers to make lump-sum payments so that periods of deferment or forbearance count toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness. This is especially critical for borrowers who have served in public service but were placed in involuntary nonpayment plans, such as the SAVE plan, which was recently blocked by a court injunction following a Republican-led legal challenge. The backlog has ballooned amid staffing shortages at the Office of Federal Student Aid and mass layoffs earlier this year. While the department has made incremental progress, processing around 10,000 applications between April and July 2025, the queue continues to grow. Current data shows the backlog stands at 72,730 applications, nearly 50% higher than in April and an increase of 7,000 from the previous month alone according to the department's data. With the department processing roughly 2,500 applications per month, estimates suggest it would take over two years to clear the current backlog if no new applications are submitted. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of borrowers in the SAVE plan forbearance remain unable to make progress toward loan forgiveness, compounding financial uncertainty for millions of Americans. PSLF buyback: A critical workaround The PSLF Buyback program offers a pathway for borrowers to ensure that periods of nonpayment, whether due to deferment, forbearance, or other disruptions, still count toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Under PSLF, borrowers who make ten years of qualifying payments while working full-time for eligible nonprofit or government employers can eliminate their federal student debt. Buyback is particularly vital for borrowers near the end of their repayment period who were caught in involuntary deferments under the SAVE plan. The program is intended to mitigate the effects of missed qualifying payments, allowing borrowers to maintain progress toward debt cancellation. Backlog continues to escalate The Department of Education's filings reveal that the backlog has grown steadily despite processing efforts. In May, 1,472 applications had been completed, with 49,318 pending. Between April and July, approximately 10,000 additional applications were processed, including 3,280 in the last month alone according to US media reports. Despite this, the total number of pending applications has increased to 72,730. The current processing rate of roughly 2,500 applications per month means it could take more than two years to clear the backlog even if no new applications are submitted. With new applications entering the system continuously, the timeline for resolution is expected to extend further. SAVE plan forbearance leaves borrowers stuck The backlog is exacerbated by complications from the SAVE plan, which paused payments for millions of borrowers. These forbearance periods do not count toward PSLF forgiveness, leaving borrowers, especially those in their final year of repayment, unable to make progress. While the department has encouraged affected borrowers to apply for PSLF Buyback or switch to income-driven repayment (IDR) plans, mass layoffs and staff shortages have slowed processing. Some progress has been made in addressing the IDR application backlog. The total number of pending IDR applications decreased from 1,511,504 to 1,386,406, with 304,844 processed in the last 30 days, according to the latest reports. This represents a net reduction of approximately 125,000 applications, but at the current pace, processing the remaining queue could take nearly a year. Legal and administrative challenges The backlog is further complicated by administrative and legal actions. Temporary suspensions of IDR application processing earlier this year and resumption of interest charges on SAVE plan borrowers have added pressure on both borrowers and the department. Ongoing litigation and new student loan repayment provisions under the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' continue to reshape repayment plans, limit forgiveness, and create additional obstacles for borrowers. A system under pressure Millions of borrowers navigating the federal student loan system face delays, inaccuracies, and uncertainty as they attempt to track qualifying payments and apply for forgiveness. Without substantial increases in staffing or processing efficiency, clearing the PSLF Buyback backlog and providing the relief intended by Congress may remain a multi-year challenge.
