0 January 30, 2026 13:09

This edition of India First reports on a significant political transition in Maharashtra following the death of Ajit Pawar in a Baramati air crash. His wife, Sunetra Pawar, has been selected as the NCP Legislature Party leader and is scheduled to be sworn in as Deputy Chief Minister. The program also examines the intensifying political conflict in Assam regarding illegal immigration. Union Home Minister Amit Shah reports that 64 lakh illegal infiltrators occupy seven districts, while Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma faces criticism for remarks concerning the Miya community. Executive Editor Kaushik Dekha analyzes the demographic shifts in Assam, noting that Muslim population growth between 2001 and 2011 suggests an external influx. The report features a debate between BJP and Congress representatives on ethnic profiling, national security, and the National Register of Citizens. It explores whether economic isolation and land restrictions serve as a defense for indigenous rights or represent political polarization ahead of elections amidst claims of a demographic invasion.
