Congress MP Tariq Anwar got a piggyback ride in Bihar’s Katihar during a ‘flood inspection’ drive. In a viral video, villagers can be seen wading through a waterlogged field while carrying Mr Anwar on their backs.

Shashi Tharoor, a senior Congress MP, has supported the Election Commission’s decision for a nationwide special intensive revision of electoral rolls, despite opposition criticism. He emphasized the necessity of addressing imperfections in electoral rolls and welcomed the use of digital technologies for verification.

Tariq Anwar, who represents Katihar in Parliament, was on a two-day visit to his constituency to review flood damage and meet affected residents.
