In Haryana, the BJP has requested the Election Commission to postpone the October 1 assembly elections due to overlapping holidays, which the Congress has criticized as a sign of the BJP's apprehension about the polls. Meanwhile, Haryana Congress continues to face internal divisions, contesting elections without an executive body for over a decade. The BJP's confidence was reiterated by former home minister Anil Vij, who stated the party is prepared for elections at any time. In Odisha, the Legislative Assembly witnessed disruptions as opposition members protested over issues including a spurious liquor scandal, leading to multiple adjournments by Speaker Surama Padhy. The BJD and Congress also boycotted an MLA training session, alleging protocol violations by the BJP. Both states are experiencing significant political tensions and controversies ahead of their respective elections.
