Congress

Shah attributed the decision to revoke Article 370 to the collective efforts of BJP workers and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Asserting the significance of Kashmir as an integral part of India, he emphasized that any potential return of the Congress to power should not lead to any alterations in this constitutional provision. Shah stated that the era of Congress' appeasement politics has concluded.

Speaking at a press conference, Vijayan pointed out that while the Congress manifesto for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls pledges to revoke various laws that violate constitutional norms, such as the GST, it conspicuously avoids any mention of the CAA.

He praised former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kalyan Singh for his dedication to the Ram temple cause, highlighting Singh's pivotal role during the Ram mandir agitation. Modi criticized the Congress for its appeasement policies, likening their manifesto to that of the Muslim League. He affirmed his government's commitment to fostering a developed India despite global challenges, emphasizing the nation's resilience and determination.

In a press conference, Birender Singh stated, "I have tendered my resignation from the primary membership of the BJP and forwarded it to party chief J P Nadda. Additionally, my wife Prem Lata, who served as an MLA from 2014 to 2019, has also parted ways with the party. Tomorrow, we will officially join the Congress."

During her campaign speech for BJP's North Chennai candidate RC Paul Kanagaraj ahead of the Lok Sabha polls on April 19, Irani also targeted the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu for allegedly making derogatory remarks against Sanatana Dharma.

The manifesto outlines the party's commitment to conducting a comprehensive caste census across the nation to accurately gauge the socio-economic status of different castes and sub-castes.

In the letter, Nirupam stated, "I have finally decided to fulfill your much-awaited desire and hereby announce that I choose to resign from the primary membership of the All India Congress Committee." He requested acknowledgment of his resignation, which he dispatched on Wednesday evening.
