Palaniswami asked, "What are the steps that have been taken yet by DMK? Why are DMK MPs sitting silent at the Parliament?"
BJP MLC CT Ravi told the media, "The public is in our support.They are standing with me. Why was I arrested? Why was I continuously shifted to four districts?
CM says that due to security reasons they did this. Giving security in Police Station is difficult for them, but giving security at an isolated place is easy for them."
Mallikarjun Kharge took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, Modi Govt’s audacious amendment in the Conduct of Election Rules is another assault in its systematic conspiracy to destroy the institutional integrity of the Election Commission of India.
Earlier, they had removed the Chief Justice of India from the Selection panel which appoints Election Commissioners, and now they have resorted to stonewall electoral information, even after a High Court order.
Everytime the Congress party wrote to the ECI, regarding specific poll irregularities such as voter deletions and lack of transparency in EVMs, the ECI has responded in a condescending tone and chosen not to even acknowledge certain serious complaints. This again proves that the ECI, even though is a quasi-judicial body is not behaving independently.
Modi Govt’s calibrated erosion of ECI’s integrity is a frontal attack on the Constitution and Democracy and we will take every step to safeguard them.
Union Minister Giriraj Singh said, "There is a swelling on the back of the head of Mukesh Rajput and Pratap Sarangi is feeling dizzy.
They both are not feeling well and the next decision will be taken by the doctors.
BJP MP Pratap Sarangi told me that Rahul Gandhi behaved with me the way a bouncer does. They told me that Rahul Gandhi attacked like a bouncer and this is very shameful.
He deliberately wanted to indulge in a scuffle."
AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal said, "Recently, we had announced two schemes, one was Mahila Samman Yojana. For the convenience of our women, we announced that we would deposit Rs 2,100 in their bank accounts.
"Its registration is starting tomorrow. The second announcement was of Sanjeevani Yojana. Under this, elderly people above 60 years of age will get free treatment. No one takes care of the middle class.
"After retirement, no one takes care of the elderly in several families. Now the AAP government will get them treated. Registration of this scheme will also start from tomorrow.
"Our team will go door to door and register for Sanjeevani Yojana and Mahila Samman Yojana. For this, it is necessary to have Delhi's voter ID card and you can go to the website and check whether your vote has been cancelled or not.vThey (BJP) are cancelling the votes on a large scale."
On BJP MLC CT Ravi, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah said "The word used by CT Ravi for Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar is condemnable. It is a criminal offence. CT Ravi, who was the national general secretary of BJP, said such a thing which is shameful. Other Vidhan Parishad members have heard CT Ravi use that word."
DMK MP Kanimozhi said, "DMK has taken a strong stand on this. CM Stalin has given a statement condemning what he said about Babasaheb Ambedkar. It's not acceptable. He has to apologise."
