India's 2026 political developments and census

In 2026, India will have many important political events.

There will be elections in several states, including Mumbai, West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Puducherry.

The government also plans to start the first digital census, which will include counting people by caste.

This census will help decide how many seats each state gets in the parliament.

There are debates about having elections for the central and state governments at the same time.

The government wants to end left-wing extremism by March 2026.

The BJP party will likely appoint a new leader, while the Congress party will focus on jobs and economic issues.
