Intro

First, we talk to The Indian Express’ Shubhangi Khapre who talks about Maharashtra, where the government has invoked a 1918 Hyderabad-era gazette to address the long-standing Maratha reservation demand.

Next, The Indian Express’ Nikhila Henry explains how a family rift within the Bharat Rashtra Samithi has escalated into a full-blown political crisis as K Kavitha, daughter of party chief K Chandrashekar Rao, was suspended and later resigned, accusing her cousins of a conspiracy. (11:48)

And in the end, we go to Kerala, where a 61-year-old farmer has stalled one of the state’s largest mall projects by challenging the conversion of protected paddy land. (24:19)
