- Rajya Sabha Polls Tension: Rajya Sabha polls in Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and Karnataka are poised for a photo-finish with concerns about possible cross-voting. The BJP has fielded an extra candidate in UP and Himachal, while JD(S) did the same in Karnataka. This has added uncertainty to the outcomes, leading to shifts of Congress MLAs to a hotel in Karnataka. The elections involve a total of three seats, and the results are eagerly awaited.
- Rahul Gandhi’s Cambridge Lectures: Rahul Gandhi, taking a break from the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, will deliver two lectures at Cambridge University. The Yatra, pitched as a major voter outreach before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, is on hold from February 26 to March 1. Rahul’s lectures at Cambridge are expected to attract attention, given the controversies surrounding his remarks in the UK during his previous visit.

In Kerala, he will inaugurate space infrastructure projects at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre and address a public meeting at the concluding event of the state BJP’s padayatra.
