	Description:		First, we start with West Bengal, where the formation of a new political front is threatening the TMC’s voter base and reshaping the Assembly poll dynamics. Ravik Bhattacharya, the Chief of Bureau at The Indian Express, Kolkata newsroom, explains how Mamata Banerjee’s party is responding to pressure from the BJP, central agencies, and emerging minority-led parties. Next, we speak to The Indian Express' Raakhi Jagga about why Indian farmer unions are protesting the India-US interim trade deal. From fears about the dairy sector to worries over tariffs and American agribusiness, we break down what’s at stake. (12:40) And finally, we look at Rahul Gandhi’s sharp critique of the India-US deal in Parliament, where he accused the Modi government of signing an agreement that undermines national interest.
