HC leaves it to EC to decide on Rahul's pickpocket jibe

IndiaTimes Thursday, 21 December 2023
The Delhi high court instructed the Election Commission (EC) to decide on the notice issued to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his "pickpocket" jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah, and businessman Gautam Adani. The HC noted that the statement is "not in good taste". The court declined to issue specific directions but set a time frame for EC to act, considering that the deadline for Rahul Gandhi's reply had passed.

Maharashtra Election Results: Adani and Dharavi Issues Fail in MH Election | Mahayuti | BJP |

In the Maharashtra elections, the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is emerging as a strong winner. Despite the heated debate around the Dharavi issue and Adani's involvement, these topics did not resonate with voters. High-profile leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Uddhav Thackeray, and Aditya Thackeray raised various allegations, but these issues failed to sway the electorate in the way they were expected to. With the Mahayuti securing a significant victory, the political landscape of Maharashtra remains firmly in the hands of the BJP and its allies. #MaharashtraElectionResult #MaharashtraElection2024 #ElectionResultLive #MaharashtraElectionResults2024 #AssemblyElectionResults #MaharashtraAssemblyElectionResult #LiveElectionResult #MaharashtraResultsLive #ElectionResults2024 #MaharashtraPolls2024 #LiveResultsMaharashtra #MaharashtraAssemblyResults #ElectionResultUpdates #MaharashtraVotes2024 #AssemblyPollsResults ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.336~GR.122~
