Grand Opposition united show of strength against EC in Bihar
Addressing the gathering, the Congress president charged the Election Commission (EC) with acting as an 'agent' of the Modi government, posing a 'threat' to the Constitution and people's right to vote.
Kharge also launched a frontal attack on PM Modi, saying, 'He poses a threat to the Constitution and the right to vote enshrined therein. It is the duty of the people to protect these rights by dethroning him.'
Tejashwi Yadav launched a scathing attack on the NDA government, saying, 'For quite some time, the Nitish Kumar government has been coming up with announcements which have been copied from our promises. The latest example is the waiving of charges levied on forms for those appearing in competitive exams. But I am sure that the people of Bihar can no longer trust this insincere government and they will vote for a change,' said Yadav.

NDTV Report: Can Dwarka Expressway End Delhi-Gurugram Traffic Nightmares?
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated two major projects -- a key stretch of the Urban Extension Road-II and the Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway - to ease traffic congestion in the city and the National Capital Region (NCR). Here's what NDTV found during the road test of the Dwarka Expressway: The new 10.1-km section of the Dwarka Expressway, developed at Rs 5,360 crore, provides connectivity to Yashobhoomi, the Delhi Metro's Blue and Orange lines, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station, and the Dwarka cluster bus depot. This stretch comprises two sections: a 5.9-km section from the Shiv Murti intersection to the Road Under Bridge at Dwarka Sector-21, and a 4.2-km section from Dwarka Sector-21 to the Delhi-Haryana Border, which provides direct connectivity to the Urban Extension Road-II. It took 20 minutes to travel from one end of the Dwarka Expressway on the Gurugram border to the Mahipalpur region of Delhi. The newly-launched section saves commuters a lot of time on this stretch, but it is the same bottleneck once they enter the Delhi side. It took about 65 minutes from the start of the Dwarka Expressway in Gurugram to reach the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi. Urban Extension Road II The other project Prime Minister Modi opened on Sunday was the Urban Extension Road II (UER 2). The six-lane expressway, which is over 75 km long, starts from NH-44 in Alipur and passes through Rohini, Mundka, Najafgarh, and Dwarka. It ends at Delhi-Gurugram Expressway on NH-48 near Mahipalpur. PM Modi has opened the Alipur-Dichaon Kalan stretch of Urban Extension Road-II with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat. Built at Rs 5,580 crore, it aims at reducing the traffic on the capital's Inner and Outer Ring Roads, and choke points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan and NH-09.

LS adjourned briefly amid din over voter roll revision, Speaker announces full language interpretation rollout
New Delhi: The Lok Sabha was adjourned till noon on Tuesday following persistent sloganeering and disruptions by Opposition members, who demanded a debate on the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. The House managed to take up only three questions during Question Hour before Speaker Om Birla called for adjournment amid rising chaos. As the session commenced, Speaker Birla made a significant announcement (in Hindi) regarding linguistic interpretation inclusivity in Parliament. He informed members that interpretation services are now available in all languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution. Previously, interpretation was provided in 18 languages, including Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Kannada, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Odia, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu. The addition of Kashmiri, Konkani, and Santhali completes the constitutional language roster. 'India is the world's largest democracy. Let us cooperate to ensure smooth functioning of the House,' Birla urged. To which a few members quipped, 'There is a need to save the constitution.' Despite the appeal, Opposition MPs raised slogans such as 'We want justice' and 'Save the Constitution,' demanding accountability over the voter list revision in Bihar. The din rendered ministerial responses inaudible, even as Question Hour proceeded briefly. Among the few questions addressed, BJP MP Dr Sanjay Jaiswal called for the inclusion of Bhojpuri in the Constitution and sought details on the sanctioned personnel strength for the newly launched Bharatiya Bhasha Anubhag. He also inquired whether Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) had been framed to integrate technology for promoting Indian languages. DMK MP Selvam G. raised concerns about the number of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, women, and marginalised groups benefiting from the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY-G) in Tamil Nadu, including those still on the waiting list. Before the minister could answer, Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan informed the House that the Tamil Nadu government is deliberately not sanctioning houses for the poor in the state. He said he appealed and urged the Tamil Nadu government to provide houses to the poor. BJP MP Vishnu Datt Sharma questioned the Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare about the Indian Council of Agricultural Research's (ICAR) mandate, seeking clarity on its responsibilities across veterinary science, animal husbandry, fisheries, poultry, apiculture, and natural resource management. The Monsoon Session continues to be marred by repeated adjournments, with the Opposition pressing for transparency and debate on electoral reforms.
