Addressing a presser, she said, "It was a pre-planned script, that they (ED officials) would go to his residence and sit there for 8 hours and then arrest him. It shows the BJP's desperation.

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on October 2 said the caste census of Bihar has proved that 84 per cent of people in the state are OBCs, SCs and STs and their rights should be according to their population.

After the Congress strongly batted for a national caste census with the assertion that rights should be proportionate to the population, senior party leader Abhishek Singhvi on Tuesday struck a note of caution, saying it will eventually culminate into majoritarianism.
The remarks by Singhvi, a spokesperson of the party and a member of its apex decision-making body Congress Working Committee, countered the pitch for "'Jitni abaadi, utna haq' (rights proportionate to the population)" made by Rahul Gandhi and other leaders following the release of Bihar caste census on Monday.
"Equality of opportunity is never the same as equality of outcomes. People endorsing #jitniabadiutnahaq have to first completely understand the consequences of it. It will eventually culminate into majoritarianism," Singhvi said on X.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi while speaking at a poll rally in Jagdalpur said the Congress should clarify whether rights can be given in proportion to the "abaadi" (population) and asserted that poor people have the first right over the country's resources.
Modi also asked whether the grand old party wants to decrease the rights of Muslims.
On Monday, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said the caste census of Bihar has proved that 84 per cent of people in the state are OBCs, SCs and STs and their rights should be according to their population.

PM Modi says he rejected Telangana CM KCR’s bid to join NDA, BRS refutes claim

PM Narendra Modi said he rejected Telangana CM KCR's request to join the NDA in 2020.

PM Narendra Modi started a war of words with Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. PM has claimed he rejected KCR&rsquo;s request to enter the National Democratic Alliance, citing the BRS leader&rsquo;s &ldquo;deeds.&rdquo;
However, KCR&rsquo;s party was quick to refute PM Modi&rsquo;s &ldquo;blatant lie,&rdquo; saying the KCR was not &ldquo;mad enough to want to join the NDA,&rdquo; as per NDTV.
Speaking at a rally, Modi said before Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) polls, Rao used to come to the airport to receive him with fanfare and show a lot of respect.
"But, why did it stop suddenly?" he asked.
"Why so much anger suddenly? The reason for that is, after Hyderabad polls, he came to Delhi to meet me. He gave a beautiful shawl and honoured me. He showed so much love that it was not in the character of KCR," Modi said.

"Then, he told me that the country is progressing under your leadership. We also want to be part of NDA. Make us part of NDA. I said what next? Support us in the Hyderabad municipal corporation. I told KCR, your deeds are such that Modi cannot join with you," he said.

Canada-India diplomatic row: Justin Trudeau says, 'not looking to escalate situation with New Delhi'

Tensions flared between India and Canada last month following Trudeau's explosive allegations of involvement of New Delhi's agent in Khalistani terrorist Nijjar in June this year. Nijjar was a Canadian national.&nbsp;

After reports of India asking Canada to withdraw half of its diplomats, amid the ongoing issue between both countries, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau admitted that his country was going through an "extremely challenging time" with India but asserted that Ottawa will continue to have "constructive relations" with New Delhi.&nbsp;
Speaking to reporters in Ottawa, Trudeau also said that it's important for Canada to have diplomats on the ground in India, amid a report by London-based Financial Times that New Delhi wants as many as 41 of 62 remaining Canadian diplomats out of the country, the Toronto Sun newspaper reported.
"Obviously, we're going through an extremely challenging time with India right now," Trudeau was quoted as saying by the Canadian newspaper.
He, however, did not confirm the FT report that India has asked Canada to withdraw 41 of 62 diplomats from the country.
Asked if his government would retaliate by asking India to remove diplomats based in Canada, Trudeau insisted his government would try to keep working with New Delhi.
"We're not looking to escalate, as I've said, we're going to be doing the work that matters in continuing to have constructive relations with India through this extremely difficult time," Trudeau was quoted as saying by the state-run CBC News.

Union minister Meenakshi Lekhi also hit out at AAP leaders and said, "Opposition has entered the system with the intention to rule and for the welfare of their own family.

Probe agencies of the country have been formed in accordance with the law of the land so that corruption doesn't happen in the county. We did not tell them to do corruption. If they have indulged in corruption, investigation will be done and action will be taken..."
