Justice Subramonium Prasad noted that “At the very outset, this Court cannot lose sight that the breakout of hostilities in West Asia is an event that has occurred in Feb 2026, while the apex court directed the arbitral award to become executable way back on 07.07.2023….this Court is of the opinion that the Review Petitioners are now attempting to take advantage of an event that has taken place more than two years after the passing of the SC order.Election Results 2026Vijay’s TVK party emerges as formidable force in Tamil Nadu; all you need to know about its journeyWest Bengal election results: Mamata lags behind Suvendu Adhikari after 2nd round in BhabanipurTVK pushes DMK, AIADMK to margins; BJP may oust Mamata in Bengal, retain Assam.. which cannot be permitted in any manner whatsoever.

Ballot box will open at 8 am, first round will be over at 9 and second round at 10. Counting will be over at 1 pm and it will be ta ta, good-bye to didi.” Thus spoke Union home minister Amit Shah at one of his rallies in West Bengal on Apr 22, a day before the first phase of polling.As BJP stormed to power in the state, dismantling CM Mamata Banerjee’s stronghold for the past 15 years, Shah’s bold prophecy went viral and so did another assertion that his party will be governing ‘Anga, Banga and Kalinga,’ a cultural reference to Bihar, Bengal and Odisha, after the results were announced on Monday.Election Results 2026Vijay’s TVK party emerges as formidable force in Tamil Nadu; all you need to know about its journeyWest Bengal election results: Mamata lags behind Suvendu Adhikari after 2nd round in BhabanipurTVK pushes DMK, AIADMK to margins; BJP may oust Mamata in Bengal, retain AssamAlso Read |’Immoral, illegal’: Mamata Banerjee alleges BJP ‘looted’ more than 100 seats; vows to ‘bounce back’The last time one party got to govern the three largest eastern states was Congress in the 70s before it lost Bengal to CPM in the first post-Emergency polls and where it gradually unraveled-a fate that befell the party in other two states as well but across a longer stretch of time.Confident poll claims come naturally to politicians as they rally their supporters and galvanise their cadres in pursuit of victory but the assertion of Shah, the hard-headed election strategist, deft organisation builder and untiring campaigner rolled into one, was no wild shot.He began rebuilding BJP’s ground campaign against TMC just after he took over as the BJP chief. The resolve never waned, not after he left the organisation for govt despite the disappointment in 2021 and below-par performance in Lok Sabha elections when its tally fell from 18 to 12.During informal conversations, he would often say that Bengal, the birthplace of the founder of Bharatiya Jan Sangh, as BJP was known in its original incarnation, was just as important for him as Uttar Pradesh which he won for the party in 2017. The disappointments only seemed to give more steel to Shah’s determination, to keep trying and improvising his play.This time he stationed himself for 15 days in the hotly contested state and held over 50 public programmes, including 30 rallies and 12 roadshows, addressing press conferences to shape the party’s narrative built on Hindu consolidation against Mamata’ alleged appeasement of Muslims and BJP’s welfare promises, including stipend to women and unemployed youths, to counter her govt’s freebies.Also Read | West Bengal election results 2026: BJP sweeps Mamata’s citadel – who’s in CM race?Union minister and West Bengal poll-in charge Bhupender Yadav and BJP secretary Sunil Bansal, a former RSS functionary who has been handling the party’s organisational affairs in the state since 2022, were key central figures on the ground, giving Shah feedback and being instrumental in executing the campaign.Follow the latest election results 2026, live updates, winner lists, constituency-wise results, party-wise trends and full coverage for Tamil Nadu election results, West Bengal election results, Kerala election results, Assam election results and Puducherry election results results on Times of India.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIndia Rejects Nepal’s Objection To Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Route Via Lipulekh PassNepal Objects To India-China Plan To Conduct Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Via LipulekhIndia-Linked LPG Tanker MT Sarv Shakti Heads To Visakhapatnam After Crossing HormuzPassenger Opens Emergency Exit Door On Air Arabia Flight While Taxiing At Chennai Airport, ArrestedAhead Of Counting, Gunmen Open Fire At BJP Leader’s House In Bengal’s Noapara‘I Am Also A Victim’: Vinesh Phogat Identifies As Complainant In Brij Bhushan Sexual Harassment CaseBJP MP Sandeep Pathak Claims ‘No Information’ On FIRs, Alleges Misuse Of State Machinery In PunjabIndian Startup Launches Mission Drishti, World’s First OptoSAR Satellite, Aboard SpaceX Falcon 9Diljit Dosanjh Confronts Khalistan Supporters at Calgary Concert, Explains KBC AppearanceDelhi Approves ₹48,000 Crore Metro Expansion Plan To Connect Outer Regions With City Core123PhotostoriesFrom Tomatoes to Beetroot: 7 red foods that protect our heart every dayKhatron Ke Khiladi 15 confirmed contestants list: Gaurav Khanna, Rubina Dilaik, Orry join Rohit Shetty showApple vs. Banana: Which has more nutrition and should be consumed daily and whySleeping late vs waking early: What your body prefers, the answer might surprise youKim Kardashian to Katy Perry: Worst Met Gala dresses ever that sparked major criticismWhy homemade khasta kachori becomes soft after a few hours: 4 halwai-approved smart tips to make them perfect at homeStruggling with a small home?

This despite Congress drifting towards DMK’s nemesis TVK in Chennai.

Rahul also lauded the TN mandate, calling it reflective of “the rising voice of youth”.A schism had opened up between Congress and other regional parties – JMM, RJD, SP, AAP which lined up behind Mamata and Stalin, while Rahul and Congress played truant. With DMK and TMC forecast to win their states, Congress was likely to face the blowback and even some ganging up within the grouping. But, as its spokespersons asserted through Monday, Congress was prescient in its demand that TMC and DMK accommodate the party to take on rivals. The pet barbs of TMC that Congress failed to stop BJP in the heartland is set to be a thing of the past. And a weakened INDIA bloc may have to confront the indispensability of Congress leadership.The immediate future will be about ensuring coherence in the UP alliance where SP is senior partner to Congress. They have to hammer out better understanding than seen in Tamil Nadu. Even in Bengal, early overtures by Congress and some opposition managers for a tie-up to consolidate popular support were rebuffed by Mamata.But the big one – 2029 parliamentary polls – looms as the grand challenge With BJP having expanded its footprint beyond its strongholds, opposition faces an uphill task to make up for the big shortfall that would emerge in Bengal. Another challenge is Maharashtra where BJP returned to office by routing Shiv Sena (UBT)-NCP(SP)-Congress.Also read| 10 moves that helped BJP breach Mamata’s Bengal fortressFor the anti-BJP coalition, the new imperative would be to hammer out joint strategies instead of the prevalent mode of each player deciding its own plan on their turf. The trigger is the growing uniformity of the BJP blueprint to target opposition players, the prime being painting them as “anti-Hindu” – as shown by the arc of BJP’s eastern aggression from Bihar to Assam to Bengal. SP-Congress would have to contend with such a possibility in the UP campaign.Ultimately, if Congress has to be the leader of the opposition, it will have to supplement the partners’ effort by being a viable party in states where it is the sole opposition to BJP – the Hindi heartland.While there is no love lost between TMC and Congress, the latter would feel the heat of the former’s defeat.An alliance is an alliance, even if an uneasy one.Follow the latest election results 2026, live updates, winner lists, constituency-wise results, party-wise trends and full coverage for Tamil Nadu election results, West Bengal election results, Kerala election results, Assam election results and Puducherry election results results on Times of India.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIndia Rejects Nepal’s Objection To Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Route Via Lipulekh PassNepal Objects To India-China Plan To Conduct Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Via LipulekhIndia-Linked LPG Tanker MT Sarv Shakti Heads To Visakhapatnam After Crossing HormuzPassenger Opens Emergency Exit Door On Air Arabia Flight While Taxiing At Chennai Airport, ArrestedAhead Of Counting, Gunmen Open Fire At BJP Leader’s House In Bengal’s Noapara‘I Am Also A Victim’: Vinesh Phogat Identifies As Complainant In Brij Bhushan Sexual Harassment CaseBJP MP Sandeep Pathak Claims ‘No Information’ On FIRs, Alleges Misuse Of State Machinery In PunjabIndian Startup Launches Mission Drishti, World’s First OptoSAR Satellite, Aboard SpaceX Falcon 9Diljit Dosanjh Confronts Khalistan Supporters at Calgary Concert, Explains KBC AppearanceDelhi Approves ₹48,000 Crore Metro Expansion Plan To Connect Outer Regions With City Core123PhotostoriesFrom Tomatoes to Beetroot: 7 red foods that protect our heart every dayKhatron Ke Khiladi 15 confirmed contestants list: Gaurav Khanna, Rubina Dilaik, Orry join Rohit Shetty showApple vs. Banana: Which has more nutrition and should be consumed daily and whySleeping late vs waking early: What your body prefers, the answer might surprise youKim Kardashian to Katy Perry: Worst Met Gala dresses ever that sparked major criticismWhy homemade khasta kachori becomes soft after a few hours: 4 halwai-approved smart tips to make them perfect at homeStruggling with a small home?

In comparison, only 15 per 1,000 people aged 15-29 required hospital care over the year. Hospitalisation among children aged 0-4 (34 per 1,000) is also higher than among adolescents and young adults, pointing to a dual burden at the two ends of the age spectrum.Election Results 2026Vijay’s TVK party emerges as formidable force in Tamil Nadu; all you need to know about its journeyWest Bengal election results: Mamata lags behind Suvendu Adhikari after 2nd round in BhabanipurTVK pushes DMK, AIADMK to margins; BJP may oust Mamata in Bengal, retain AssamThe data points to a clear transition, with healthcare demand increasingly driven by middle-aged and older populations. Experts say this reflects a rising burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart conditions and respiratory illnesses, which become more common with age and often require hospital treatment.”The sharp rise in hospitalisation after 45 reflects a systemic gap in preventive healthcare. Lifestyle diseases like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, fatty liver and heart disease are accumulating earlier, but structured screening and risk modification are not keeping pace,” said Dr Rommel Tickoo, director, internal medicine, Max Hospital, Saket.”If India invests in early detection, routine metabolic screening, cardiovascular risk assessment, and primary care strengthening, we can significantly reduce avoidable hospital admissions in later decades,” he added.State-wise differences are stark. Kerala reports among the highest hospitalisation rates, with about 186 elderly persons per 1,000 admitted in a year-more than double the national average. Other regions such as Lakshadweep and Tripura also show elevated levels, while some northeastern states report lower rates. However, experts say that higher rates in states like Kerala may also reflect better access to healthcare and higher detection of illnesses.Among the elderly, hospitalisation rates are higher for men (93 per 1,000) than women (69 per 1,000), while differences are smaller or reversed in younger age groups.The trend highlights a growing pressure on hospitals as India’s population ages. With more people living longer and developing long-term conditions, demand for inpatient care is expected to rise in the coming years.The NSO data, based on hospitalisations over the past year (excluding childbirth), underline the need for stronger primary healthcare, early detection and better management of chronic diseases to reduce avoidable hospital admissions.The findings from the NSO suggest that India’s healthcare needs are shifting rapidly towards middle-aged and elderly populations.Follow the latest election results 2026, live updates, winner lists, constituency-wise results, party-wise trends and full coverage for Tamil Nadu election results, West Bengal election results, Kerala election results, Assam election results and Puducherry election results results on Times of India.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

Worse, she alleged she had been assaulted by BJP activists and central forces as she made her way out of Sakhawat Memorial High School counting centre after nearly five hours there.Also Read |Lotus blooms in West Bengal: 10 moves that helped BJP breach Mamata Banerjee’s fortressMamata stayed put since trends showed her trailing by over 10,994 votes after 18th round of counting in the afternoon.

But after the third round, Mamata bounced back. She established her dominance by the seventh round, at one point leading by more than 19,000 votes – triggering murmurs that the contest might tilt decisively in her favour.That perception, however, proved short-lived. Adhikari, claiming Mamata’s surge was driven by votes from a minority-dominated pocket, mounted a rapid comeback. By the 12th round, the gap shrunk to just over 7,000 votes and later tightened further to 5,300, setting the stage for a nail-biting finish that echoed the intensity of their 2021 face-off, where Mamata lost to Adhikari in Nandigram. She’d won Bhowanipore in a bypoll later that year.Tensions peaked further Monday when TMC alleged that its Bhowanipore counting agents had been attacked by BJP and pushed out. The chief minister, who earlier appealed to her workers to “fight like a tiger cub” and not to leave the counting tables till sunset, rushed to the venue.As her convoy reached the centre around 3.30pm, BJP supporters erupted in chants of “thief, thief” and “go back,” turning the stretch into a cauldron of hostility. Adhikari arrived around the same time. TMC general secretary and Mamata’s nephew Abhishek Banerjee, too, reached the site amid allegations that some BJP supporters spat in his direction and hurled abuses before he was forced to move out.Also Read |’Immoral, illegal’: Mamata Banerjee alleges BJP ‘looted’ more than 100 seats; vows to ‘bounce back’Mamata stayed at the centre till 8pm before she was escorted out by central forces.

He won the 2021 election with 106,042 votes (53per cent vote share), defeating BJP’s Anupam Mallik’s 75,922 votes (38per cent), by a margin of 30,120 votes. Key issues include rural infrastructure gaps—roads, drainage and bridges—across Bagnan‑I and Bagnan‑II blocks, alongside irrigation and better market access for paddy, vegetable and betel leaf cultivators. Demand for expanded government health and education facilities, drinking water security, and employment opportunities beyond informal labour in peri‑urban areas near Uluberia and Howrah are also prominent local concerns. Arunava Sen has held the seat for TMC since 2011, building on earlier Congress and CPI(M) dominance (Akkel Ali Khan won in 2006), turning Bagnan into a reliable Trinamool pocket despite BJP’s growing challenge. The constituency falls under the Uluberia Lok Sabha seat, retained by TMC’s Sajda Ahmed in 2024 with a margin of 2,18,673 votes, reinforcing party alignment from Assembly to Parliament.Follow the latest election results 2026, live updates, winner lists, constituency-wise results, party-wise trends and full coverage for Tamil Nadu election results, West Bengal election results, Kerala election results, Assam election results and Puducherry election results results on Times of India.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
