Thakre Cousins: A Rivalry Revisited

Firstly, we are joined by The Indian Express' Shubhangi Khapre who discusses Maharashtra, where cousins and political rivals Uddhav and Raj Thackeray shared a stage for the first time in nearly two decades, rekindling their alliance over concerns for the Marathi identity and state politics.

Next, The Indian Express'  Sophiya Mathew talks about a fuel ban on End of Life Vehicles that was implemented and then quickly deferred to November 1. She explains why the ban was introduced, why it was paused, and what challenges lie ahead. (13:05)

Lastly, we head to Gujarat, where a sudden bridge collapse in Vadodara district killed at least 10 people to discuss what happened and the ongoing rescue operations. (24:30)
