Good Food Guide Awards LIVE updates: All the winners and hats revealed for NSW and the ACT

Amidst an escalating political confrontation over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced nationwide protests over Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The protests are set to occur on Monday in the wake of Kharge's statement, "Modi ka baap bhi jayega" (Let alone Modi, even his father would go), made during an event in Bihar to commemorate the 139th birth anniversary of the state's first chief minister.

The remark drew criticism from BJP leaders and opposition parties, who accused Kharge of using language associated with thugs and hooligans. The Congress leadership, however, claims the remark was misinterpreted, with the audience member who spoke up identifying himself as a Congress worker. Meanwhile, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) plans to announce further protests soon, emphasizing the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, who is also under scrutiny for alleged irregularities in the SIR exercise.
