Sonia Gandhi

Bengaluru: The BJP has lodged a complaint with the Election Commissioner of India and the Chief Electoral Officer of Karnataka against Sonia Gandhi for making the statement, “the Congress will not allow anyone to pose a threat to Karnataka’s reputation, sovereignty or integrity.”

Himanta said this during a press conference in Bengaluru, where he is campaigning for the BJP. He said, "Even his mother is concerned about Rahul Gandhi how to establish him. Mrs Sonia Gandhi has been fighting a lone battle for the last 20 years to establish her son so that he can earn a decent livelihood."

She said this while responding to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's statement that if the BJP is not re-elected to power, the state would not get the blessings of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress leader addressed a huge public meeting here. Sonia Gandhi said that the BJP was worried and perturbed over the.

Addressing a huge gathering in Vijayapura, Yatnal, who spoke ahead of PM Modi, also mentioned Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose as the "first prime minister of the country". "Our Sanatan Dharm, our mother and our Bharat Mata are everything to us. We will not tolerate and can give our lives if anyone dares to talk against Bharat Mata.

The case was brought by Swamy, who accused the Gandhis of misusing party funds to buy a firm that published the now-defunct National Herald newspaper. Attending a conclave of law students here, the ace lawyer-turned-politician said, "Today, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are out on bail. I used to say so many things to Rahul Gandhi but no one sent me to jail."

The party is planning to make a show of its strength. Chief Ministers of Congress-ruled states and senior leaders of the party are going to Surat to accompany Rahul Gandhi during the filing of appeal against his conviction. Rahul Gandhi will be present in a court in Gujarat's Surat on Monday when the appeal is filed against his conviction.

After emerging from the meeting, a relaxed Raut tweeted: "Met Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi today. Discussed several crucial issues with them in detail. Everything is fine There's nothing to worry about." Earlier on Tuesday, Raut had met Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on the same issue that had driven a chasm among the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies Congress, Nationalist Congress Party and Shiv Sena (UBT) in Maharashtra.

Rahul Gandhi was convicted under IPC Sections 499 and 500. The maximum possible punishment under this section is two years. After Rahul Gandhi's arrival in Delhi, his mother and former Congress president Sonia Gandhi also reached his residence amid sloganeering by Congress workers.

Kavitha, on Thursday while praising Sonia Gandhi for pushing the Women Reservation Bill during the UPA's tenure criticised the party for "arrogance" on the issue of alliance, and added that the Congress "should be a team player". She had said that she had spoken with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and general secretary K.C. Venugopal to send a representative to the protest.

Kavitha has invited 18 political parties, including Congress to join the one-day hunger strike to press the demand. She said around 6,000 people will come and her organisation Bharat Jagruti Manch has reached out to the like-minded parties and organisations. I salute Madam Sonia Gandhi for having backed the Women's reservation Bill despite leading a coalition govt at Centre," she said.
