Bhubaneswar (PTI): Biju Janata Dal MP Ramesh Chandra Majhi was injured in road accident in Odisha's Nabarangpur district.

The accident took place at Dargaguda when Majhi, the Nabarangpur MP, along with his driver and PSO (personal security officer) were returning home at Umerkote from Raipur. The vehicle was damaged in the mishap in the early hours of Sunday. However, the MP said he only got a scratch mark on his body.

"I, my PSO and driver were returning home from Raipur by a vehicle. Around 1.30 am, suddenly the vehicle skidded off the road and descended into a roadside bush. However, neither of us was seriously injured in the accident", Majhi told PTI.

The accident may be because the driver dozed off or tyre burst, he said, adding, "I was busy on the phone when the accident took place".

"After getting a tetanus injection, I was discharged from the hospital. We all are now doing fine", the MP said.

Gobichettipalayam (Tamil Nadu) (PTI): In a historic 10th win, veteran leader K A Sengottaiyan clinched the Gobichettipalayam seat in the 2026 Assembly elections.

Contesting for the first time under actor Vijay’s TVK, the 78-year-old secured approximately 71,380 votes, defeating DMK’s N Nallasivam by a margin of nearly 13,000 votes.

This win marks Sengottaiyan’s 10th consecutive victory in the constituency, cementing his status as an immovable force in the region despite his high-profile exit from the AIADMK in late 2025.

His success was a cornerstone for the TVK, which emerged as a formidable force across the state. Supporters celebrated the win as a testament to Sengottaiyan’s personal influence, which successfully transitioned from his former Dravidian home to the newly formed TVK.
