The political crisis in Tamil Nadu continued to make headlines on Thursday as Governor C Vidyasagar Rao finally met O Panneerselvam and VK Sasikala who are both vying for the Chief Minister's job in the state. The drama is far from over with charges and counter charges on both sides. Mr Panneerselvam today got a shot in the arm with a senior party leader coming out to back him but most of the legislators are still with Ms Sasikala. Will the Governor finally end the uncertainty?

In Tamil Nadu's game of thrones, it is a truly fascinating story, where no one knows what will happen next. From Chief Minister O Panneerselvam's dramatic meltdown against Sasikala last night to Sasikala's show of strength today, with most AIADMK legislators appearing to be backing her, who will win this battle?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a dig against his predecessor Manmohan Singh on corruption says only he knows how to "bathe with a raincoat in the bathroom". The Congress walks out and demands an apology for the language used. Did the PM go too far or is the Congress really justified in demanding an apology?

There's a revolt within the AIADMK party against Sasikala's elevation as Chief Minister. Senior AIADMK leader PH Pandian claims Jayalalithaa's death was unnatural, and that she feared Sasikala would poison her. Does this spell more trouble for Sasikala or will the party continue to back her for the top post?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi makes a marathon speech in parliament in his most detailed defence of the notes ban yet. It's not about elections but about the country, about the poor, he said, as he attacked the Congress. With reports that the demonetisation issue is in fact making more impact in UP than we thought, is the PM's claim of success right?

Selected not elected, VK Sasikala is all set to take over as Tamil Nadu's next Chief Minister as early as tomorrow. But there is already a backlash with many citizens opposing her elevation even starting an online petition against it. Will the people accept the party's choice? Is this healthy for our democracy?

Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has declared that the centre may do something to end triple talaq after the UP polls. The opposition says this is a bid to polarise voters in UP. The BJP says triple talaq is an evil practice.

A day after Trinamool Congress lawmaker Derek O'Brien raised the issue of Twitter trolls in parliament, union minister Smriti Irani, sharply rebutted him, in what seemed as a defence of a man linked to one of the controversial Twitter handles. On Left, Right and Centre, we debate where social media trolls are getting their power from and why anti-establishment voices are told to get off if they can't stomach the vile.

One of the world's leading tech companies has decided to manufacture in India with the Karnataka Government saying that by April this year, Apple will start manufacturing iPhones in the state.
