HM Shah to inaugurate BJP's new Kerala HQ today, review poll preparedness
New Delhi: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah is set to embark on a packed one-day visit to Kerala on Saturday, where he will inaugurate the new BJP state headquarters located on K.G. Marar Road in Thiruvananthapuram at 10:30 A.M. and also review poll preparedness for the fast approaching Assembly polls. The ceremony will include the hoisting of the party flag, a tree plantation on the office premises, and the unveiling of a bust of K.G. Marar, the former state BJP President and a prominent figure in the party's Kerala unit. Following the inauguration, at 11:15 A.M., HM Shah will address the 'Viksit Keralam Sammelan,' a ward-level leadership meet of the BJP, at Putharikandam Maidan in Thiruvananthapuram. The event is expected to draw a massive crowd of around 36,000 grassroots leaders from Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Pathanamthitta, and Alappuzha districts. Leaders from other districts will join the event virtually, ensuring statewide participation. The gathering is being seen as a major mobilisation effort in preparation for the upcoming local polls. At 2:00 P.M., the Union Home Minister will chair a closed-door meeting with the BJP's state leadership to review election preparedness, organisational strategy, and booth-level planning. The meeting is expected to finalise ground-level action points to strengthen the party's position in the state, where it has been working steadily to expand its footprint. Later in the day, HM Shah will travel to Taliparamba in Kannur district, where he will offer prayers at the revered Rajarajeswara Temple at 4:30 P.M. before departing for New Delhi at 7 P.M. The visit comes at a time when political activities are intensifying in Kerala with the Assembly elections expected to be held next year. The next Kerala Legislative Assembly election is expected to be held in May 2026. This election will be held to elect 140 MLAs to the 15th Kerala Legislative Assembly. The current tenure of the Kerala government is from May 24, 2021, to May 23, 2026.

Govt misleading Ghose panel on Kaleshwaram, claims Harish Rao; says Assembly ratified barrage decisions thrice
Former minister Harish Rao appeared before the Justice PC Ghose commission, submitting available information on Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme approvals and construction. HYDERABAD: Former minister and senior BRS leader T Harish Rao appeared before the Justice PC Ghose commission on Friday and submitted information available with him regarding the approvals and construction of the Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS). Later addressing the media, the former irrigation minister alleged that the Congress govt might be providing incorrect information to the commission regarding the Kaleswaram project. 'I have provided the commission with all the information I have. Since we are no longer in power, all the documents are with the govt. I have reached out to the chief secretary and the Secretaries of the General Administration and irrigation departments, requesting copies of the Cabinet decisions made during the BRS administration, along with the Cabinet notes, but I am yet to receive a response.'

Copper traders rush metal to Hawaii to capture mega tariff trade
Copper traders racing to get cargoes into the US are looking to shift deliveries into Hawaii and Puerto Rico to cut shipment times, as Donald Trump's plan for 50% tariffs threatens to slam the door on a hugely profitable arbitrage trade that has gripped the industry for months. New York futures spiked to a roughly 25% premium over international benchmark prices in the wake of Trump's initial announcement on Tuesday, which means traders who can deliver metal into the US before the new levies stand to capture an even larger profit — or face big losses if the clock runs out. Trump's announcement points to the culmination of a dramatic shift that has played out in the copper market ever since the president first announced plans to put tariffs on copper in February. The resulting surge in US prices prompted an industry-wide dash to deliver metal into the US; stockpiles inside the country have soared, while the rest of the world faced a mounting supply squeeze. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Top 25 Most Beautiful Women In The World Car Novels Undo The shipments had been reducing in scale in recent weeks, as some traders started to brace for a tariff announcement, according to people familiar with the market. But there are still large volumes of copper on their way to US ports, they said. Bloomberg Copper inventories in the US are likely to hit 500,000 tons in the coming weeks, roughly half of which is in the key US storage hub of New Orleans, according to estimates from participants active in the market. Metal is also being stored in Port Panama City in Florida. Live Events Frazzled traders described pulling all-nighters through the turmoil as they responded to Tuesday's news, making decisions over what to do with cargoes already on their way to the US, and whether to try to squeeze in further shipments. While tariffs were eventually expected, 50% was higher than many in the market were betting on. The president confirmed that rate in a social-media post late Wednesday, as well as a plan for it to kick in from Aug. 1. Some traders desperate to get their hands on last-minute metal are willing to pay big premiums — offering close to $400 a ton on top of London Metal Exchange prices — and seeking to divert shipments headed for China toward the US instead, according to people involved in the market, who asked not to be identified discussing commercially sensitive information. Buyers are particularly willing to pay more for brands that are eligible for delivery against Comex contracts, meaning that they could re-sell them on the exchange as a last resort if they cannot find other homes for the copper upon arrival in the US. Shipments from Asia to New Orleans typically take over a month, so any traders sending metal now would risk being caught on the wrong side of the tariffs, which are due to become effective at the start of next month. But the journey to Hawaii is roughly ten days, and at least one trader has already completed a shipment to the Pacific state, according to a person familiar with the matter. For producers in South America, Puerto Rico is a similarly attractive delivery point because it is part of the US customs territory, some of the traders said. In Chile, the key supplier of copper to the US, mining companies have been huddled in meetings to discuss how to prioritize shipments to the US through the end of July under their agreements with existing customers. Trump's announcements means that traders now face a race against time — especially those that paid large premiums to get their hands on copper cargoes. They stood to make a huge profit shipping that metal to the US, but now face the risk that the tariffs will be implemented while the metal is on the water. Traders are also wrestling with a long list of unknowns. Besides the timing, Trump's remarks leave questions over which types of copper will be subject to tariffs. Previous metal tariffs imposed by the administration have also exempted cargoes already on the water when the levies take effect, providing potential wiggle room for traders willing to take that risk. The size of the gap between New York and London prices — far below 50% — also suggests a level of uncertainty about whether a 50% tariff will really be universally applied on refined copper imports.
