Why state Congress invited Gandhis to contest from Khammam, turning it into a hot seat

IndiaTimes Thursday, 9 May 2024
All eyes will be on Khammam when the 17 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana go to the polls on May 13. Congress has not won this seat in the past 15 years but has performed exceedingly well in the assembly elections. The grand old party has fielded R Raghuram Reddy, BRS has nominated its sitting MP Nama Nageswara Rao and BJP, which is trying to expand its footprint here, has fielded Tandra Vinod Rao.

BRS Working President KTR Summoned by ACB for Questioning in Formula-E Race Case

K. T. Rama Rao (KTR), the Working President of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Sircilla MLA, was summoned by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) for questioning in connection with the Formula-E race case. However, his advocates were not permitted to accompany him, leading to his return from the ACB office. The investigation, which relates to allegations under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, and the Indian Penal Code, has sparked a legal dispute. KTR has challenged the procedural issues of the FIR and petitioned the Telangana High Court, urging that the summons be deferred until the court’s verdict. Meanwhile, ACB is set to issue fresh notices for further questioning. #KTR #ACBInvestigation #FormulaECase #TelanganaPolitics #BRS #AntiCorruptionBureau #LegalChallenges #CorruptionInvestigation #IndianPolitics #TelanganaHighCourt #KTRSummons ~PR.274~ED.103~HT.336~GR.121~

PM Modi Takes A Sharp Dig At Former PM Rajiv Gandhi During Lok Sabha Speech

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a veiled dig at former PM Rajiv Gandhi during his address in Lok Sabha, referencing past governance failures. He highlighted corruption scandals and inefficiencies, subtly pointing to the controversial Bofors case. Modi’s remarks were part of his broader attack on the Congress legacy while responding to the motion of thanks on the President’s address. His statement has triggered a political debate, with BJP leaders backing his stance and Congress leaders fiercely defending Rajiv Gandhi’s tenure.
