Unannounced Meetings at Rashtrapati Bhavan Raise Questions Amid Political Tensions

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah held separate meetings with President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan, stirring speculation due to the absence of official explanations.

The meetings occurred against a backdrop of political tension including parliamentary stagnation caused by opposition demands for discussions on the Special Intensive Revision in Bihar and the extension of President's Rule in Manipur.

These developments come amid growing economic pressures following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of tariffs on Indian exports, as well as recent changes in the vice-presidential post after Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation.
