In another incident, a former member of Priyanka Gandhi's team has been suspended from the party for six years. His name is Bajirao Khade, a former member of Priyanka's team hailing from Kolhapur. What had happened was that Khade had requested the party to field him in the Lok Sabha elections, a move that ran counter to the party's decision to field Shahu Maharaj Chhatrapati. The party, therefore, refused his request, and Khade took the decision to challenge the party's move by filing his nomination as an independent candidate. Interestingly, when Khade first joined Priyanka's team, his arrival in Kolhapur created a craze as the locals knew very little about him, and questions were asked why he was suddenly appearing in the political scene.

PM Modi highlighted the Congress's alleged betrayal of a significant portion of the populace, emphasizing the moral reprehensibility of allocating reservations based on religion. He underscored the principled stance of the Constitution's founding members against religious-based reservations.

The official social media account of the Samajwadi Party announced that Akhilesh Yadav would officially submit his nomination papers for the Kannauj seat on Thursday at noon.

During a press briefing, Thakur criticized Rahul Gandhi's decision to field a candidate against Owaisi in the Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency, questioning whether Gandhi is merely a pawn in Owaisi's communal agenda or vice versa.

Emphasizing the nation's trajectory towards its 25-year objectives and the strategic planning for the forthcoming five years, PM Modi denounced the purported discussions among INDI Alliance partners. According to him, media reports hint at deliberations on succession to the Prime Minister's office post-election victory, with a proposed rotation of leadership under the 'one year, one PM' framework. He derided this strategy as a power struggle, likening it to a chair with one occupant while others undermine it collectively.

Pitroda pointed out that in America, there is a heavy 55 percent inheritance tax, with the government reaping a major share. He proposed that property is bequeathed for public good.

Furthermore, Modi criticized the Congress for its purported plans to introduce an inheritance tax, which he argued would unjustly strip away the hard-earned rights and assets of the people's children. He painted a picture of the Congress as a party fixated on maintaining a grip on power at any cost, even if it meant jeopardizing the economic prosperity and social fabric of the nation.
