Congress wanted ballot paper. Got ballot paper.
Karnataka MLC polls ran on paper ballots... and the NDA swept all 4 seats. Congress: 0. In Bihar, a Congress MP admits they didn't win a single MLC seat either.
So what's the excuse now? 🤣
#Karnataka #Congress
#WATCH | Bengaluru, Karnataka: On the NDA sweeping all four Karnataka Legislative Council seats, BJP MP Lehar Singh Siroya says, "I believe the Congress should reflect on this, though I have little expectation that they will. I do, however, hope that leaders like MK Stalin and Akhilesh Yadav will grasp the reality—that if they remain aligned with the Congress, they too will ultimately go down with it. These opposition parties should distance themselves from the Congress..."

🇮🇳 India is about to become one of the world’s diesel pumps.
State refiners will add at least 15m tonnes a year of diesel capacity, mostly from 2027, Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said.
That’s about 300k b/d, my math.
Who’s adding it?
-Indian Oil, up to 9m tonnes from 2027
-Hindustan Petroleum, about 4m from its new Rajasthan refinery
-Numaligarh, up to about 3m
-Bharat Petroleum, 1.5m from 2028
India already makes more diesel than it burns.
In the first half of the fiscal year it produced 59m tonnes and used about 46m.
It overtook Russia this year as the world’s No. 2 diesel exporter, Kpler data shows.
Europe is moving the other way.
It’s losing at least 250k b/d of refining capacity a year.
Diesel is $6.28 a gallon in the US, a record gap over gasoline.
Relief arrives in 2027, and it comes from India, not Europe.
Every month of delay keeps diesel margins high.
Russia just lost its price edge in India.
Some Iraqi crude is selling at more than $25 a barrel below Dubai before shipping, traders tell Bloomberg.
Russian barrels are being offered at about a $2 premium.
Russia’s share of India’s crude imports fell to about 35% in September, down from 56% in July, Kpler says.
The killer is freight.
A Baltic cargo spends weeks at sea.
A Basra cargo spends days.
With tanker rates this high, every extra day on the water eats the discount.
“Due to the increase in freight, we are not getting good offers from Russia,” Bharat Petroleum’s CFO said.
The Gulf sellers smell it.
Aramco sold prompt Khafji at up to $10 under Dubai.
Middle East flows are back near pre-war levels and the producers want their market share back.

„Sachpolitik statt Lagerpolitik“ sagt hier kein AfD-Mann, sondern ein CDU-Bundestagsabgeordneter.
Die Brandmauer bröckelt nicht im Kanzleramt, sondern in den Bezirken, wo Politiker ihren Wählern jeden Tag begegnen.
Wie lange will Merz da noch gegenhalten?
Die CDU in Berlin-Reinickendorf will den AfD-Politiker Thomas Ruschin zum Vize-Bürgermeister wählen. CDU-Chef und Bundestagsabgeordneter Marvin Schulz begründet den Kurswechsel: „Wir haben uns jetzt entschieden, Sachpolitik statt Lagerpolitik zu machen.“

Washington now buys Russian diesel. Brussels still bans it.
The EU embargo on Russian oil products has run since Feb 5, 2023. With US diesel at $6.34 a gallon, Trump chose cheaper fuel over symbolism.
Meanwhile German industry keeps paying the sanctions bill.
🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 Russian diesel is heading directly to the U.S. for the first time under Trump's new deal with Putin.
And one of the tankers is SANCTIONED by America's European allies.
3 vessels carrying ~140,000 tonnes of Russian diesel are scheduled to reach U.S. ports next week, after Washington temporarily exempted the fuel from sanctions.
The first tanker is expected in New York on Nov 7, followed by two more, including the Leruo, which is blacklisted by the EU, UK and Canada.
The shipments come as U.S. diesel averages $6.34 a gallon, up from $3.66 a year ago, with the Trump admin looking for ways to bring energy costs down.
A bipartisan group of senators is already warning U.S. companies that participating could create serious legal risks.
Russian diesel is crossing the Atlantic again, this time with Washington's permission...

Melania Trump helped broker a truce. Brussels brought a €90bn loan.
The Oleshky pause is local, but it's holding: mines cleared, food in, civilians out, with both sides' rights commissioners on site.
Proof that talking works. Now scale it up.
The pause in fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces, coordinated in part by first lady Melania Trump, is designed to allow humanitarian aid into the city and evacuate those who want to on.wsj.com/4ByR0rK
Platz 14 beim Durchschnittsvermögen, Platz 30 beim Median. Hinter Griechenland.
Der typische Deutsche hat real fast 20% weniger als 2020. Nur 47% wohnen im Eigentum, Energie kostet 43% mehr.
Reiches Land, arme Mitte.
🇺🇸🇬🇧🇯🇵 The typical American, German and Brit are all POORER than they were in 2020.
The typical Japanese? Over 50% richer.
That’s median wealth per adult after inflation, from UBS’s latest Global Wealth Report.
The typical American and German are both down almost 20%, and the Brits got hit hardest of the 3, losing 23.6%. France is down 12.2% too.
Japan, meanwhile, posted the biggest gain of any country UBS tracks, followed by the UAE, up roughly 40%.
FEWER THAN HALF the countries in the report have a typical adult who’s better off than at the start of the decade.
6 years, a pandemic and an energy crisis later, and the “rich” West has some explaining to do.

Moin Zusammen... 96.689 Deutsche mehr weggezogen als zugezogen. Allein 2025.
2020 waren es noch 28.356. Mehr als verdreifacht in fünf Jahren.
