A political war of words erupted on Wednesday as the Congress sought to challenge the narrative surrounding Prime Minister Narendra Modi becoming India's longest-serving Prime Minister in consecutive terms.
"The Election Commission has heard our case today, and now we are waiting. We are in our fight," Natarajan told reporters in Delhi.
After meeting Election Commission officials, Meenakshi Natarajan said the Congress would continue its challenge through constitutional channels while seeking reversal of her rejected Rajya Sabha nomination.
With Rajya Sabha polling days away, the Congress has mounted a legal and political challenge against the rejection of Meenakshi Natarajan's nomination papers in Madhya Pradesh.
On Shah’s assertion that the BJP had flagged discrepancies in the voter lists of Wayanad and Amethi, the Congress accused the BJP of making “fake additions” to defeat Rahul Gandhi, adding that these discrepancies also need to be addressed.
PM Modi wished Sonia Gandhi on her 79th birthday and wished her a long life and good health.
While the Congress has not cited any specific reason behind her suspension, the move comes after her recent allegations that "one who gives a suitcase of ₹500 crore becomes the Chief Minister."
The Wayanad MP also took a jibe at Prime Minister Modi, saying the PM delivers good speeches but often falls short when it comes to facts.
Addressing party workers and supporters, the Karnataka Congress president framed his remarks in philosophical terms, stressing that opportunities must be seized with responsibility.
