Mayawati announces nephew's entry in BSP, trains gun on media

AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami denied holding alliance talks with actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), stating that no such discussions have taken place and the media is spreading speculation.

"Telangana Speaker was under immense pressure to take this decision. Rahul Gandhi is a joke of a leader. On one hand, he flaunts the constitution of India and continues to portray himself as the saviour of the constitution of India, and he also talks about defections and how automatic disqualification should be done," he told the media.

Piyush Goyal, while talking to the media, said, "NDA is going to sweep the next election, removing the corrupt Stalin government. The people of Tamil Nadu will never accept Udhayanidhi Stalin as their Chief Minister, and this is the contest to save Tamil pride, culture and people from the corrupt practices of the Stalin family."

Addressing concerns over possible supply disruptions, Goyal told the media that the government is closely monitoring the evolving situation and taking necessary steps to ensure the uninterrupted availability of fuel across the country.

"They don't trust the Speaker. They don't trust the Election Commission. They don't trust independent constitutional institutions. It is beyond my understanding what kind of anarchy the opposition is taking the country into. The problem is that they don't engage in self-reflection; they just make accusations, which means they are evading their responsibilities," he told the media.
