Main Body
People in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu voted in state elections. In West Bengal, 92.25% of people voted. In Tamil Nadu, over 84% of people voted. This was the highest number since 1952. Before the vote, officials changed the voter lists. In West Bengal, they removed over 9 million people from the lists. The DMK party in Tamil Nadu said the new lists helped more people vote. The second part of voting in West Bengal is on April 29. Prime Minister Modi said people want change in West Bengal. But no one knows who is winning yet. The BJP party never won an election in West Bengal before. The result will show if Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wins again. In another political event, Raghav Chadha and seven other MPs left the AAP party. They joined the BJP party. Chadha said the AAP party changed and does not help the country now. This happened after the party removed him from his job. On the diplomatic side, US President Donald Trump shared a post. The post called India a ''hellhole''. India said this was wrong and not respectful. The US Embassy later said President Trump called India ''a great country''. India also told its people not to go to Iran. There are problems in the region because of the war between the US, Israel, and Iran. The Indian rupee lost value. It is now at its lowest point in over ten years. This happened because oil prices went up and gas supplies stopped. Finally, over 250 people from the Bnei Menashe community arrived in Tel Aviv. The Indian government helped them move from Manipur and Mizoram to Israel.
Conclusion
India has many things happening now. There are big state elections and a party change. There are problems with the US and Iran. The Indian rupee is losing value.
