Congress Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi visited the family of Haryana IPS officer Y Puran Kumar in Chandigarh, following his tragic death by suicide on October 7. Kumar, a 2001-batch officer, allegedly faced caste-based discrimination and harassment from senior officials, including Haryana DGP Shatrujeet Kapur and SP Narendra Bijarnia, as detailed in his suicide note. His wife, Amneet P. Kumar, an IAS officer, has demanded that these officers be named in the FIR for abetting her husband's suicide. During his visit, Gandhi emphasized that Puran Kumar's death was not just a personal tragedy but a reflection of systemic injustice faced by Dalits in the country. He criticized Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini for failing to act on his assurances and urged both the Prime Minister and Chief Minister to fulfill their commitments to the family. The case has drawn national attention, with opposition leaders demanding immediate action against the accused officers. In response to the public outcry, the Haryana government has placed DGP Kapur on forced leave, and an FIR has been registered. The investigation continues as authorities address the serious allegations raised by Kumar's family. #RahulGandhi #YPuranKumar #HaryanaIPS #CasteDiscrimination #DalitRights #JusticeForPuranKumar #HaryanaGovernment #PoliceReform #SystemicInjustice #PoliticalAccountability
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has sounded the alarm on what he perceives as growing threats to Indian democracy, delivering a statement on October 4, 2025 during a public rally in Delhi. Gandhi cautioned that consolidation of power, curbs on dissent, and attempts to influence institutions could undermine democratic principles if left unchecked. He highlighted recent incidents involving freedom of speech, media scrutiny, and electoral processes, urging citizens to remain vigilant and actively participate in democratic institutions. Gandhi emphasized that democracy relies not just on elections, but on checks and balances, transparency, and public engagement to prevent the erosion of fundamental rights. Political analysts note that Gandhi’s warnings come amid ongoing debates over legislative actions, judicial interventions, and civil liberties, sparking discussions across media platforms. Supporters of the Congress leader have praised his call for awareness and civic participation, while critics argue the remarks could be politically motivated ahead of upcoming state and national elections. #RahulGandhi #IndianDemocracy #CivilRights #FreedomOfSpeech #PoliticalAwareness #IndiaNews #DemocraticValues #CitizenEngagement #Transparency #ElectoralIntegrity
Following Rahul Gandhi's claims of "vote theft" during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar's electoral rolls, the BJP has dismissed these allegations as baseless. Party spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad accused Gandhi of spreading lies about voter list fraud and insulting the people of Bihar. He emphasized that the Congress party did not file a single complaint or objection during the SIR process, suggesting that Gandhi's claims were politically motivated rather than evidence-based. In contrast, Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, have raised concerns over the SIR process, alleging that it disenfranchised marginalized communities by removing their names from the voter list. They argue that the revisions were not conducted transparently and may have been politically motivated to benefit certain parties. The Election Commission has refuted the allegations, stating that the SIR process was carried out in accordance with established procedures and that all political parties were given an opportunity to participate and raise objections. The Commission has emphasized its commitment to conducting free and fair elections. #BiharElections #RahulGandhi #VoteAllegations #SIRProcess #ElectionCommissionIndia #PoliticalDebate #VoterRights #TransparencyMatters
A heated controversy erupted when Pintu Mahadev, a BJP spokesperson, allegedly threatened that “Rahul Gandhi will be shot in the chest” during a televised debate. In response, Congress demanded urgent intervention from Home Minister Amit Shah, labeling the threat “cold, calculated and chilling” and warning that inaction would amount to normalizing violence against political opponents. Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah also expressed shock and questioned the silence of top leadership over the remark. #DeathThreat #PoliticalViolence #RahulGandhi #Congress #BJP #HomeMinistry #FreeSpeech #SafetyOfLeaders #Democracy #Accountability
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is on a tour of four South American countries, described by his party as a mix of diplomatic, educational, and trade engagements. The stated agenda includes meeting with heads of state and senior officials, engaging with business leaders, and talking to university students in Brazil, Colombia, and other nations. The aim, according to Congress, is to deepen ties, explore economic opportunities (particularly in the context of global disruptions like U.S. tariffing), and project India’s soft power abroad. The Congress camp also highlights Gandhi’s interest in discussing subjects like democratic values, environmental issues, perhaps even foreign policy, though the exact itinerary has been kept largely under wraps. #RahulGandhi #SouthAmericaTour #IndiaDiplomacy #BJPVsCongress #PoliticalBacklash #GlobalAlliance #ForeignPolicy #DemocraticEngagement #TransparencyInPolitics #IndiaAbroad
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) and Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar of enabling large-scale voter deletions in Karnataka’s 2023 Assembly elections. He claimed over 6,000 names were removed from voter lists in Aland constituency using fake logins and phone numbers from outside the state, particularly targeting Congress strongholds. Gandhi stated that despite 18 requests from the Karnataka CID, the ECI has not shared critical data like IP addresses, device ports, and OTP trails. In response, the ECI rejected the allegations, citing proper due process and filing an FIR for the Aland incident. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju and the BJP criticized Gandhi, calling the claims baseless and politically motivated, urging him to accept his party’s electoral defeats. #RahulGandhi #ElectionCommission #ECI #KarnatakaElections2023 #VoterDeletion #AlandConstituency #CongressParty #BJP #KirenRijiju #ElectionControversy #PoliticalNews #IndiaPolitics #ElectoralIssues #VoterRights #FIR #ElectionAllegations #News #newsone

Rohan Jaitley, son of former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, tweets, "Rahul Gandhi now claims my late father, Arun Jaitley, threatened him over the farm laws. Let me remind him, my father passed away in 2019. The farm laws were introduced in 2020. More importantly, it was not in my father's nature to threaten anyone over an opposing view. He was a staunch democrat and always believed in building consensus. If at all such a situation was to occur, as it often does in politics, he would invite free and open discussions to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution to all. That was simply who he was and that remains his legacy today. I would appreciate Rahul Gandhi being mindful while speaking of those not with us. He attempted something similar with Manohar Parrikar ji, politicising his final days which was in equally poor taste..." #RahulGandhi #Congress #ArunJaitley #politics
