Bihar turned saffron on Friday, and BJP supporters took to the streets in full force to extol the win. Faces covered with pink gulal, hands waving lotus flags, and life-sized cutouts of PM Narendra Modi towering over the crowd — the scene looked less like a political rally and more like a festive celebration. Drummers beat dhols, firecrackers lit up, and laddoos were passed around as workers hold banners reading “Main Hoon Modi Ka Parivaar" and “Nitish will be the hero in 2025 too,” the celebrations announced the joy of the NDA suppoters.

Italy left it late to seal a 2-0 win over minnows Moldova in the FIFA World Cup 2026 European Qualifiers at Zimbru Stadium. The home side held firm against one-way traffic from the Azzurri forwards for most of the match, with Italy needing 88 minutes for Gianluca Mancini to give them the breakthrough. An injury-time header from Francesco Pio Esposito sealed the win. Moldova had an opportunity through Virgiliu Postolachi, but failed to have a shot on target. Italy, despite being second in Group I, will likely have to go to the play-offs due to Norway's significant goal difference advantage.
