The Day of PM Modi's Vande Bharat Train Flag-off and Bihar Election Campaigning

Indian media on November 8 prominently featured Prime Minister Modi. In the early morning, multiple outlets reported on him flagging off four new Vande Bharat Express trains from Varanasi. Concurrently, reports covered his active campaigning for the Bihar elections, where he criticized the RJD for promoting criminal elements over education. This intensified throughout the day, with Modi and Amit Shah making strong statements against the RJD. The India-Australia T20 match was paused and later called off due to lightning and rain, resulting in India winning the series 2-1. By the late afternoon, severe air pollution in Delhi became a major focus, with AQI exceeding 400 in several areas, marking the city's entry into the 'red zone'.
