Senior Congress leader has stated that Prime Minister will not continue as India's leader beyond June 4, when the 2024 Lok Sabha election results are announced, PTI reported. This came amid speculation about Modi's anticipated tenure till September 2025, when he turns 75.
As ministers, new and old, in the third Narendra Modi-led government settle down and the BJP gets on with the business of starting the review of its election performance, there is likely to be a sense of disquiet in the ruling party. And the reason is not the Opposition but something much closer home: the RSS.
Days after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said a “true Sevak” does not have “ahankar (arrogance)”, senior RSS leader Indresh Kumar on Friday said Lord Ram limited those with “ahankar” to just “241 seats” (BJP won 240 seats) and those who opposed the Hindu deity were “stopped at 234”, referring to the BJP and the INDIA bloc respectively.
WITH THE replacement of Bhanu Pratap Singh with “giant killer” Sardhana MLA Atul Pradhan as its candidate from the Meerut Lok Sabha seat, the Samajwadi Party is set to pose a tough challenge to the BJP’s Arun Govil, who played Lord Ram in Ramayana.
Arjun Modhwadia was conspicuous by his absence at the media interaction of the Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) on Monday, which shared the itinerary of Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra which enters the state on March 7. Even though the Porbandar MLA was already on his way to hand over his resignation to the Speaker, Congress leaders remained in denial when asked about the rumours that Modhwadia had quit.
Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath's son Nakul Nath reportedly dropped "Congress" from his bio on social media platforms. Nakul Nath's move to change his bio on X fueled speculation of him and his father joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) soon.
In early January, the Congress high command decided that three of its senior leaders — Sonia Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury — would skip the consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya later that month. Though the party did not issue a diktat against its party workers and leaders attending the event, the political fallout of the decision has seen it make concerted efforts since then to ensure it is not seen as “anti-Ram” even at the risk of isolating ally Samajwadi Party (SP) in Uttar Pradesh. And this has also left its state unit divided.
Forced to join a debate in Parliament on the opening of the Ram Temple, the Congress and a handful of other opposition parties – many from the INDIA bloc did not participate in the discussions in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha – accused the BJP of spreading hatred and animosity in the name of Ram and using religion to secure power but skirted the issue of thinning of the line that demarcates religion and state.
