Exercise was to create poll issue without implementing it: Congress after passage of women's reservation bill

IndiaTimes Friday, 22 September 2023
In a post on X, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said: "The Congress Party moved amendments to the women's reservation bill last night in the Rajya Sabha. These amendments would have ensured: Implementation of the reservation from the 2024 Lok Sabha elections itself." The amendments would have ensured reservation for women from the Other Backward Classes (OBC), in addition to the reservation for women belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs), Ramesh said.

Rahul Gandhi's First Reaction on Exit Polls 2024 Goes Viral | Moose Wala's '295' [Video]

Rahul Gandhi's First Reaction on Exit Polls 2024 Goes Viral | Moose Wala's '295'

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Sunday dismissed exit poll predictions, which projected a landslide victory for the BJP-NDA. He did so while making a reference to late Punjabi singer and rapper Sidhu Moosewala's song '295'. Following a party meeting, Rahul Gandhi was asked by reporters about the exit poll projections and how many seats he thinks the INDIA alliance would secure. "Sidhu Moose Wala ka song suna hai aapne? (Have you heard the song by Sidhu Moosewala?). 295," he said. The former Congress President, who is contesting both Wayanad and Raebareli in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, further termed the exit poll forecasts "Modi-media poll". "This is not an exit poll. This is a Modi-media poll," he told reporters. Most exit polls have forecast 136 seats for the INDIA bloc, and 379 for the BJP-headed NDA. The predictions also said that the saffron side is likely to make significant inroads in the South and cause massive upsets in Bengal and Odisha. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also rubbished the exit poll predictions, calling them "fake" and saying the INDIA alliance is not going below the 295-mark #ExitPoll2024 #JairamRamesh #RahulGandhi #INDIAAlliance #AmitShah #ExitPoll2024live #ExitPolls2024 #ExitPollResults2024 #ExitPollLive #ExitPollResultsLive #LokSabhaElection2024 #LokSabha2024 #LokSabhaResultLive #LoksabhaExitPoll2024Live #BJP #BJPvsCongress #Congress #NarendraModi #RahulGandhi #LatestNews #BreakingNews #LiveNews #Elections2024 ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.102~
