• The public feud between Siddaramaiah and Deputy CM DK Shivakumar for Karnataka's CM chair intensified, fueled by a 'secret deal' and bending of Congress' 'one man, one post' rule.
• Actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) faced severe scrutiny after the Karur stampede killed 41 at his roadshow, casting a shadow on his 2026 assembly polls debut.
