Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition, faces legal challenges with two cases filed against him for derogatory remarks about the Modi surname and comments about former BJP president Amit Shah. He has failed to appear in court for scheduled hearings, prompting requests for a warrant and garnering significant media attention for its potential impact on the political landscape in India.
Today, On 10th May, The Andhra Pradesh High Court temporarily stopped cash transfers by the ruling YSR Congress Party to government initiative recipients until after the May 13 elections. This decision follows concerns over potential influence on voters. Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy accused political opponents of seeking to obstruct welfare initiatives. The pause is aimed at ensuring a fair electoral process.
