On News Today, the Supreme Court has questioned the Election Commission's timing and Aadhaar exclusion in the Bihar voter list revision hearing but has not ordered a stay on the process. The court asked if the EC has the power to conduct a citizenship exercise and suggested de-linking the revision from the Bihar Assembly elections. The EC opposed the suggestions, stating it has the authority to revise electoral rolls and assured that no one will be deleted without due process. The court emphasized the need to preserve voters' rights and democracy. The next hearing is scheduled for July 28th. In an exclusive interview with India Today, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah addressed speculation about his tenure, stating he will complete the full 5-year term. He dismissed rumors of a power-sharing agreement with Deputy CM DK Shivakumar, saying there is no such arrangement. Siddaramaiah refuted claims of financial strain due to welfare schemes, asserting there is 'no dearth of money' for guarantees. He accused central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate of targeting only Congress MLAs and ministers in Karnataka. On the recent stampede during an RCB event, Siddaramaiah admitted regret over the deaths but denied any government failure. The Chief Minister also confirmed plans to conduct a new caste census in the state within 3-4 months.

On News Today, the focus is on the imminent announcement of a limited trade deal between India and the United States. Sources indicate that agriculture and dairy products will not be included in this initial agreement. The programme also covers the escalating language war in Mumbai, with the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and Shiv Sena UBT protesting against perceived injustices to Marathi speakers. The language debate in Maharashtra has intensified, with political parties clashing over Marathi pride and alleged Hindi imposition. The Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena have opposed recent government orders making Hindi mandatory in schools from class 1 to 5. Critics argue this is an attempt to diminish Marathi language and culture. The ruling Shiv Sena faction defends the government's stance, citing efforts to promote Marathi. The controversy has sparked wider discussions on language politics, cultural identity and the balance between regional languages and Hindi across India. Violence and intimidation tactics by some groups have been condemned. Additionally, the show addresses the ban on old cars in Delhi NCR to combat pollution, and the government's response to X's (formerly Twitter) claims of press censorship in India. Other top stories include the Air India plane crash probe and Bihar's election promises.

The Election Commission's special intensive revision of electoral rolls in Bihar has sparked controversy, with opposition parties filing petitions in the Supreme Court challenging the move. The revision requires voters added since 2003 to submit proof of date and place of birth, effectively their citizenship. Opposition parties claim this targets poor, Dalit and Muslim voters and could lead to disenfranchisement. The EC maintains the revision is working smoothly, with 2.88 crore forms collected covering 37% of Bihar's voters. However, ground reports show many citizens struggling to provide the required documents. Former Election Commissioner Ashok Lavasa says while roll purification is legitimate, the timing and new procedures raise questions. The Supreme Court will hear the petitions on Thursday. Concerns have been raised about the Election Commission of India's voter registration drive. A former Election Commissioner states there are practical and conceptual issues that need clarification, such as the acceptance criteria for enumeration forms and required documents. He calls for establishing open and credible channels of communication to address doubts, though stops short of saying the EC faces a crisis. The discussion also touches on allegations by some politicians that the EC is acting as a rubber stamp for the government, which the former official suggests should not be assumed without evidence.

On News Today, the focus is on the political battle in Karnataka, the abuse of power in Odisha and Himachal Pradesh, and a recent case of custodial death in Tamil Nadu. The Congress party claims there will be no leadership change in Karnataka, with BK Shivkumar aiming to bring Congress back to power in 2028. In Odisha, a BJP corporator and his supporters assaulted the Additional Commissioner of Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation, while in Himachal Pradesh, a National Highways Authority of India official was assaulted in the presence of a state minister. Arrests have been made in both cases, raising questions about impunity. In Tamil Nadu, a 27-year-old man named Ajit Kumar allegedly died after being tortured by police, sparking political controversy.

India Today reports on the arrest of Pir Baba Jalaluddin alias Changur Baba in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly running a Rs 100 crore forced religious conversion racket. The UP Anti-Terrorist Squad has uncovered a network that lured and manipulated Hindu and Sikh women to convert to Islam, with different rates fixed for converting girls from different castes. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called the accused an 'anti-national' and 'executioner'. The Enforcement Directorate and National Investigation Agency are now probing suspected foreign funding links. Victims have shared accounts of being trapped through false identities and then blackmailed. The case has reignited debates on 'love jihad' and forced conversions in India. In another incident, an Indian Air Force Jaguar deep penetration strike aircraft crashed near Churu in Rajasthan, killing both the pilot and co-pilot. This marks the third Jaguar crash in 2025, following incidents in Ambala and Jamnagar earlier this year. The aircraft had taken off from Suratgarh base for a routine training mission. The IAF has ordered a court of inquiry to investigate the cause. Experts discuss potential reasons for the crash, including bird hits, technical failures, or controlled flight into terrain. The incident raises questions about the aging Jaguar fleet, which has been in service since 1979 and is slated for phaseout between 2028-2032.

The language controversy in Maharashtra has escalated, with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers protesting and allegedly assaulting non-Marathi speakers in Mumbai suburbs. This comes ahead of crucial municipal elections, raising questions about whether this is a genuine fight for Marathi pride or a political strategy. The Thackeray cousins, Uddhav and Raj, have united on this issue, while the BJP denies accusations of imposing Hindi. The Congress and NCP have taken a cautious approach so far. Critics argue this may be more about control of the BMC's large budget than language issues. The controversy has sparked debates about cultural identity, language policy, and political opportunism in Maharashtra. The issue of Marathi language and identity has resurfaced in Maharashtra politics, with opposition parties uniting against a government order on Hindi language education. Shiv Sena UBT leader stated the party's commitment to promoting Marathi while respecting other languages. The NCP accused the government of failing to address public concerns and provide concrete solutions for Marathi language promotion. BJP faces criticism over comments by MP Nishikant Dubey. The debate has reignited discussions on Marathi pride ahead of BMC elections, with speculation about potential alliances between Uddhav and Raj Thackeray. The issue highlights ongoing tensions between regional identity and centralized education policies.

Is Bihar's voter rolls revision justified or politically motivated?

On 'To The Point', the focus is on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's announcement of 35% reservation for women in government jobs, aimed at empowering women and reshaping Bihar's workforce. This policy applies to all government positions at every level and department, but only for original residents of the state. The decision comes months before the Bihar Assembly elections, with women constituting nearly half of Bihar's 7.64 crore voters. In the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, women outvoted men with a 59.4% turnout compared to 53% among men. The government has also approved the formation of a Bihar Youth Commission to address unemployment concerns. The announcement has sparked debate on whether it's a genuine push for empowerment or a well-timed political strategy, especially given that a similar 35% reservation policy has been in place since 2015. Additionally, the transcript covers a controversy between the Indian government and social media platform X (formerly Twitter) over the blocking of Reuters and over 2000 handles. X claims the government ordered blocking without justification, while the government denies issuing any fresh blocking orders, raising concerns about press freedom and censorship.
