On this Special Report, the focus is on the renewed constitutional showdown in Tamil Nadu as Governor RN Ravi walked out of the first assembly session of 2026. The Governor declined to read the customary address prepared by the Council of Ministers, alleging that his 'mic was repeatedly switched off and he was not allowed to speak.' The Governor’s office further claimed the speech contained 'unsubstantiated claims' and ignored issues like Dalit safety and educational standards. In response, Chief Minister MK Stalin moved a resolution condemning the Governor's departure from established protocol, which was unanimously passed by the House. The resolution ensures that only the government-approved text is recorded in the House proceedings. This incident marks another flashpoint in the ongoing friction between the Raj Bhavan and the DMK-led government over constitutional duties and legislative protocols ahead of the upcoming elections.

On this special report, political analyst Sajjan Kumar discusses the historical trajectory and current dominance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Reflecting on the party's journey since its formation in 1980, Kumar notes that the BJP has evolved from winning just two seats in 1984 to becoming the 'central pillar of Indian politics' today. He emphasizes that the party's current strategy involves reaching every segment of society, synchronizing regional and social identities rather than dissolving them. Kumar highlights the elevation of Nitin Naveen as a signal of a 'clear generational transition' aimed at engaging India's 370 million young voters. He further observes that the BJP maintains its strength as a cadre-driven party that rewards loyalty and hard work, distinguishing it from personality-led or stagnant political movements. The discussion underscores how the party is preparing for the next decade by reinforcing its ideological core while promoting dynamic, younger leadership to resonate with evolving demographics.

On this Special Report, reporter Piyush provides live updates from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national headquarters where celebrations are underway for the appointment of the new party president. Nitin Naveen, a 45-year-old leader with extensive organizational experience, has been elected unopposed to the top post. Piyush notes that 'not even one other candidate had filed a nomination against Nitin Naveen', marking a significant generational shift within the party. The event is expected to be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and several BJP Chief Ministers. The transition highlights the party's strategy of elevating grassroots workers who have risen through the ranks, from booth-level operations to national leadership. The programme captures the festive atmosphere at the headquarters as the party prepares for a new chapter under Naveen’s leadership, following his successful track record in Bihar and the BJYM.
