Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah's old feud resurfaces after temple theft remarks

India's retail inflation rises to 4.38% in June, crossing RBI's 4% threshold

India's retail inflation climbed to 4.38% in June 2025, up from 3.93% in May, breaching the Reserve Bank of India's 4% target. The rise was largely driven by higher food prices, which pushed the Consumer Price Index upward. Vegetables such as ginger and tomatoes recorded sharp year-on-year price increases, fuelling the uptick. However, not all food items turned costlier — potatoes and peas saw prices fall compared to the same period last year. Rural regions reported steeper inflation than urban areas during the month.

Mamata accused the EC of effectively favouring the breakaway camp through its continued silence on the matter. Her faction contended that its organisational committees hold validity until 2027, strengthening its claim to the party's recognition. The Election Commission had previously issued deadlines to both sides in the ongoing dispute.
