US midterm results, AAP loses three MLAs, and 12 broken streetlights

First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Diplomatic Affairs Editor Shubhajit Roy about the Democrats winning control of both chambers of the US Congress, what this means for Donald Trump’s presidency, and the potential impact on India-US ties, tariffs and immigration. Next, we speak to The Indian Express’ Raakhi Jagga about three AAP legislators joining the BJP, the different circumstances behind their departures and what the defections reveal about political tensions in Punjab ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections. (12:30) And in the end, we look at the suspension of a municipal official in Gujarat after 12 streetlights along a route used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi were found to be non-functional.
