The weather agency further predicted that heatwave conditions will persist in Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand this week, with maximum temperatures recorded to be 4-7 degrees Celsius above normal on Monday.

IMD issued an "orange alert" in several districts of Karnataka that are set to go to polls on Tuesday, as temperatures hit 42 to 44 degrees Celsius in the past few days.

Three independent legislators (MLAs) from the northern Indian state of Haryana said on&nbsp; Tuesday (May 7) that they were withdrawing support to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government in the state.&nbsp;

The three MLAs—Sombir Sangwan, Randhir Gollen and Dharampal Gonder—also declared they were extending support to the Congress party.&nbsp;

This&nbsp;is seen&nbsp;as a major setback for Prime Minister Narendra&nbsp;Modi’s&nbsp;party as Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini-led government has now lost majority in the state.

"We are withdrawing support to the government. We are extending our support to the Congress,"&nbsp;Gonder declared in a press conference in Rohtak in the presence of former Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda and state Congress chief Udai Bhan.

"We have taken this decision on various issues including those related to farmers,"&nbsp;he added.

“I&nbsp;also want to say that present strength of (90-member) Haryana Assembly is 88, of which the BJP has 40 members. The BJP government earlier had support of JJP MLAs and Independents, but JJP had also withdrawn support and now Independents are also leaving,”&nbsp;he said.
