false statements to congress

BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh has sent a legal notice to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The notice demands an apology for Mann's remarks allegedly linking the BJP to recent blast incidents in Punjab. Chugh accuses Mann of tarnishing the BJP's reputation. The notice warns of legal action if Mann fails to comply within seven days.

Punjab's May Day assembly session erupted in chaos after Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira accused Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann of attending the House drunk. Opposition parties, including Congress, BJP, and SAD, demanded alcometer tests and the CM's resignation, leading to a walkout and subsequent adjournment.

The Supreme Court granted anticipatory bail to Congress leader Pawan Khera, setting aside the Gauhati High Court's order. The apex court emphasized balancing individual liberty with the state's interest in investigation, noting the allegations appeared politically motivated. Khera must cooperate with the probe and appear when summoned.

Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday referred to PM Modi as a “terrorist” and later issued a clarification, in remarks expected to trigger political controversy during the ongoing election season. Kharge made the statement in Chennai at a press conference on the final day of campaigning for the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, scheduled for Thursday. He was criticising the opposition AIADMK over its alliance with PM Modi's BJP.

The Trinamool Congress staged a protest in Kolkata, alleging EVM tampering and procedural lapses in strongrooms before the West Bengal assembly polls.

The Bharatiya Janata Party has lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of India. The party seeks action against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for his recent statement. Kharge reportedly called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a 'terrorist'. The BJP deems this a violation of the Model Code of Conduct.
