Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud on March 3 remarked that “we live in an age where people are low on patience and tolerance”.

He further noted that something which is said as a passing remark germinated into a theory that cannot be tested rationally.

  Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s Shelly Oberoi, 39, was elected as the mayor as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD)’s session for the mayoral polls was convened for the fourth time on Wednesday after the election could not be held with the earlier three sessions over two months plunging into chaos. The AAP and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have blamed each other for the delay in the polls. The BJP said the AAP did not want to elect a mayor. The AAP alleged the BJP was trying to hijack the House so it can continue to run MCD through nominated members.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin today slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the state's Governor RN Ravi. Regarding several questions raised by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in his recent Parliament speech, he said he has learnt from the Prime Minister the art of speaking for hours without answering anyone's questions.
