DECODE Live: Sudhir Chaudhary | Marco Rubio India Visit | Venezuela | Oil Crisis | SC on Reservation

Sudhir Chaudhary on DD News LIVE brings the biggest stories of the day in Decode With Sudhir Chaudhary. Tonight’s top focus is the Strait of Hormuz blockade, Venezuela oil diplomacy, Marco Rubio India visit, India-US-Venezuela oil triangle, global energy crisis, crude oil shortage, petrol diesel prices, India fuel security, Hormuz shipping route crisis, Quad talks, Supreme Court reservation observation, Bakrid guidelines, no namaz on roads debate and India’s changing political and economic landscape. Hormuz tensions, Venezuelan crude oil, Delcy Rodriguez India visit, Donald Trump energy strategy, Uttarakhand namaz restrictions and Delhi Bakrid public sacrifice rules are dominating headlines tonight.

The Strait of Hormuz remains under heavy military monitoring after the Iran conflict escalated. US Navy forces are continuously checking ships moving through the route as fears of a larger oil disruption grow worldwide. Since the attacks on Iran earlier this year, oil movement through Hormuz has slowed sharply. Nearly 20 percent of the world’s oil passes through this route, while India imports almost 50 percent of its crude oil through the Hormuz corridor. With supply disruptions continuing for over 80 days, India is now rapidly exploring alternative oil partnerships.

In a major geopolitical development, Venezuela has emerged as India’s third-largest crude oil supplier in May 2026, overtaking Saudi Arabia and the United States. Indian refiners are increasingly turning to Venezuelan crude amid rising West Asia tensions and global oil inflation. Venezuela Acting President Delcy Rodriguez is expected to visit India soon for crucial oil sales discussions, while Washington has signalled strong support for India’s energy needs.

Ahead of his India visit, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said America is ready to sell “as much energy as India wants”. Marco Rubio’s four-day India visit from May 23 to May 26 will focus on energy cooperation, trade, strategic security and Quad discussions. Rubio also described India as a “great ally and partner” as India-US ties deepen amid the Iran crisis and global oil emergency.

Another major national debate tonight revolves around the Supreme Court’s sharp observation on reservation and creamy layer policies. During a hearing, the Supreme Court questioned whether children of IAS officers should continue getting reservation benefits if both parents are already senior government officers.

Religious and political debates are also intensifying across India ahead of Bakrid. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami reiterated that roads are meant for traffic and not for namaz, echoing earlier statements by Yogi Adityanath and Suvendu Adhikari. Meanwhile, the Delhi government has issued strict Bakrid 2026 guidelines banning illegal slaughter and prohibiting sacrifice of cows, calves, camels and other restricted animals in public spaces. Authorities have warned of criminal action against violations.
