Today is the 8th of October and here are the headlines.
In the Haryana Assembly elections, the BJP exceeded expectations, leading in over 46 seats and securing a third consecutive term. This success can be attributed to key strategies including consolidating non-Jat votes by naming Nayab Singh Saini as CM candidate, replacing 60 candidates to counter anti-incumbency, and highlighting development and Direct Benefit Transfers in campaigns.
In response to the results, the Congress made an unprecedented move by refusing to accept the election results, alleging a “conspiracy” involving the manipulation of Electronic Voting Machines. This marks the first time a major party has rejected an electoral outcome citing EVM tampering.
Meanwhile, The National Conference and Congress alliance is poised to form the government in Jammu and Kashmir after the first Assembly election in a decade for the Union Territory. National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah won decisively in both Budgam and Ganderbal constituencies. Following Omar’s victory in Budgam, his father and NC Chief Farooq Abdullah stated that he will become the CM. The BJP on the other hand, achieved its highest-ever vote share in J&K assembly polls, winning a total of 29 seats.
Moving on from the assembly polls, India's domestic aviation market continues to strengthen, recording an 8.1% year-on-year increase in September with 1.32 crore passengers, according to ICRA, which maintains a stable outlook for the sector. Passenger numbers were also 15.2% higher than pre-pandemic levels in September 2019. As the world's third-largest and fastest-growing aviation market, India’s aviation sector has staged a rapid recovery from the severe impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
An eight-year-old boy was run over by a speeding BMC garbage dumper on Tuesday morning. The Shivaji Nagar police have registered an FIR against the driver, who has since been arrested. Local residents have raised concerns about the dangers posed by speeding dumper drivers near the dump yard and have called for speed breakers on the road. According to a Shivaji Nagar police officer, the incident occurred around 10:30 a.m. in the Zakir Hussain Nagar area.
