On May 10, 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for citizens to adopt 'nationally responsible' lifestyle choices, urging them to cut fuel usage and avoid non-essential foreign travel amid rising global crude oil prices and an ongoing energy crisis linked to the U.S.-Iran conflict. He emphasized the need for self-reliance, particularly in reducing imports. In international news, President Donald Trump rejected Iran's ceasefire proposal, labeling it 'totally unacceptable,' as Iran seeks to negotiate an end to the war affecting multiple fronts, including Lebanon. Domestically, the Trinamool Congress is facing backlash from within its ranks following a significant electoral defeat to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal, with leaders blaming the political consultancy firm I-PAC for the loss. Additionally, the Enforcement Directorate is probing alleged scams in the education sector worth nearly ₹4,000 crore (approximately $480 million USD), involving various fraudulent activities. In sports, FC Barcelona secured their 29th LaLiga title after a decisive 2-0 victory over Real Madrid.
