Axis Exit Poll Shock: Will 'Jana Nayagan' Vijay Rule Tamil Nadu Next?

Exit polls for the Tamil Nadu Assembly election point to a commanding return for the DMK-led alliance, but one projection for actor Vijay's TVK has emerged as the defining variable in a contest that may yet defy precedent. While most exit polls converge on a DMK-led victory, the Axis My India projection has shifted the center of gravity of the conversation by placing Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in the 98 to 120 seat range. LIVE UPDATES That estimate, if borne out, would not only disrupt the immediate electoral outcome but force a reassessment of what constitutes a breakthrough in Tamil Nadu politics. To understand the scale of that claim, it must be placed against history. The DMK's landmark 1967 victory delivered roughly 138 seats in a 234-member Assembly and installed the party in power. But that win came after years of organizational buildup and electoral participation dating back to the 1950s.  A decade later, in 1977, M G Ramachandran's AIADMK secur...

'Fowl Play': 140 Chickens Die After Wedding DJ Plays Loud Music

A poultry farm owner in Uttar Pradesh has filed a police complaint after 140 chickens died at his farm, alleging that the cause was loud music from a DJ system used during a wedding procession that passed nearby on the night of April 25.

Melania Trump Calls Jimmy Kimmel "A Coward" Over "Expectant Widow" Joke

US First Lady Melania Trump lashed out Monday at comedian Jimmy Kimmel over a joke likening her to an "expectant widow," a jibe with eerie resonance after a shooting at a dinner attended by Donald Trump. Even though Kimmel made the remark in a monologue days ago, right-wing commentators who support Trump have resurrected it to call for the head of the talk show host. Administration officials say a gunman who tried to storm a media gala dinner with a shotgun Saturday night in Washington was apparently targeting Trump and other administration officials. Security officers subdued the man after an exchange of gunfire. In the aftermath of the drama, right-wing critics claimed that Democrats criticizing Trump were responsible for fueling extremism -- even though the president himself has repeatedly broken precedents with violent invective against opponents, the media, the courts and immigrants. As a prominent late-night comedy host, Kimmel has been at the heart of the debate o...

Live: Trump Cancels Top Officials' Pakistan Trip For Iran Talks

US-Iran War News Live Update: Hours after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi departed Islamabad, US President Donald Trump said that US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will no longer be heading to Pakistan for a second round, as a delicate ceasefire remains in place in the Middle East.

"I've told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, 'Nope, you're not making an 18-hour flight to go there. We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18-hour flights to sit around talking about nothing'," Trump told Fox News.

Mojtaba Injured, A 'Board' Of Generals Helps Take The Calls In Iran

Iran's Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is dependent on the advice of the generals in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to manage the country, who collectively make the decisions, The New York Times reported. "Mojtaba is managing the country as though he is the director of the board. He relies heavily on the advice and guidance of the board members, and they collectively make all the decisions. The generals are the board members," said Abdolreza Davari, a politician who was a top aide to former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with ties to Mojtaba Khamenei. Mojtaba has been in hiding since the US-Israeli strikes killed his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28. Although he survived with injuries, his wife and son were also killed in the bombing. Currently, access to him is limited, with only doctors and medical staff treating his injuries. To prevent Israeli tracking and potential strikes, senior Iranian military and political leaders have ceased vis...

Before Iran War, China Amassed World's Largest Oil Stockpile

Ahead of the war in Iran, China aggressively added to its oil reserves, more than any other country, according to the United States government data released this week. "Prior to the Iran conflict, preliminary government data indicate that China has continued building inventories in 2026," the article stated. The New York Times reported earlier in the month that China imported 15.8 per cent more oil in January and February compared to the same period last year. "Oil stockpiling has been taking place for a while now, and Chinese regulators were already preparing for geopolitical tensions to arise from the Trump administration," Cosimo Ries, an energy analyst at Trivium China told the publication. According to the US Energy Information Administration, China had nearly 1.4 billion barrels of oil put aside compared to 1.2 billion barrels among 32 members of the International Energy Agency (IEA). Of these, the US has 413 million barrels. Moreover, the US has been dra...
