It’s been a busy, busy week for India. After all the campaigning, the states of Maharashtra and Jharkhand went to the polls amid heavy security. And on Saturday (November 23), the results came in delivering a huge mandate in the favour of the Mahayuti coalition of the BJP, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar-led NCP in Maharashtra, leaving the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) way behind.
In a 288-member Assembly where the halfway mark is 145, the Mahayuti swept through, securing 235 seats whereas the MVA managed only 49 seats.
This week also saw one of India’s biggest businessmen, Gautam Adani, being dragged into a huge controversy after the United States charged the business tycoon and his associates with bribery to receive lucrative contracts.
The other big news from the country was India successfully test-firing an indigenously made hypersonic missile off the coast of Odisha. With this trial, India joins a small club of countries, which proves that it has grown leaps and bounds when it comes to defence manufacturing.
For those who want a recap of the big news of the week that was, we have you covered with our roundup.
