Both the government and the principal opposition party, Congress, are leaving no chance to take the credit for a decline in extreme poverty in India over the past years.
Multiple top leaders of the party, including Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi, his sister and party MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Jairam Ramesh and other Congress leaders are present in the meeting.
Congress MP and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi reached New Delhi in the early hours of Thursday after cutting short his visit to the United States (US) in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.
"Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Shri Rahul Gandhi has cut short his US visit and will be attending in person the CWC meeting in New Delhi tomorrow at 10:30 AM," Ramesh posted on X.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Sunday said that BJP president JP Nadda's distancing the party from remarks concerning the judiciary of its two MPs - Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma - carries little meaning and asked if a show cause notice has been sent to them
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Saturday slammed Bharatiya Janata Party leader Nishikant Dubey's statement on the Supreme Court, accusing the government of "deliberately targeting" the top court and "attempting to weaken" the SC.
In a post on X, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh highlighted a troubling pattern of violence, including temple desecrations and targeted attacks, urging the Indian government to take immediate diplomatic steps and ensure justice for the victims.
As part of the Congress call to resist "gross misuse of power by the Modi government", party activists participated in nationwide protests held at Enforcement Directorate offices in state capitals and Central Government offices in districts across the country.
A political showdown erupted between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) following the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) prosecution complaint against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald money laundering case.
Addressing a joint press conference with fellow Congress MP Jairam Ramesh, Singhvi said, "This is nothing but vendetta in legal disguise. ED should answer why no NDA ally or BJP leader has ever been touched by the ED. Selective justice is nothing but political thuggery."
