“Whoever Chops Off Rahul Gandhi’s Tongue Will Be Given A Reward Of Rs 11 Lakh”: Shinde-Led Shiv Sena MLA

Rahul Gandhi

Issuing a clarification on his remarks, Rahul Gandhi said he was not against reservation, and his party will take the reservation beyond 50 per cent if they come into power.

CM Eknath Shinde led Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad, on Monday, stirred yet another controversy after he announced a reward of Rs 11 lakh to anyone who will “chop off the tongue” of LOP Rahul Gandhi over his statements on reservation in the US.

The Buldhana MLA said Rahul Gandhi wants to end reservations for backward tribals and others, and hence, he is using the language of ending it.

“When the demands of reservation are rising in Maharashtra and the country, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi made a statement to end reservation in the country. In the Lok Sabha elections, he spread a false narrative to get votes. Today, he is speaking the language of ending reservation from the country and has shown the real face of the Congress. This is my challenge. Whoever chops off Rahul Gandhi’s tongue will be rewarded Rs 11 lakh on my behalf,” said 57-year-old Gaikwad.

What Rahul Gandhi Had Said: During his recent visit to the United States, Gandhi said India can think of scrapping the reservation system only if it becomes a “fair place”, providing equal opportunities to Indians from every section of the society.

Issuing a clarification on his remarks, Rahul Gandhi said he was not against reservation, and his party will take the reservation beyond 50 per cent if they come into power.

“Yesterday, someone misrepresented my statement that I am against reservation. But let me make it clear – I am not against reservation. We will take reservations beyond the limit of 50 per cent,” Gandhi said at the National Press Club in the US.

Senthil Balaji

Bail Conditions For Senthil Balaji: He must appear before (arresting officials) twice a week, not tamper with evidence or witnesses, and must surrender his passport.

DMK leader and former minister Senthil Balaji was granted bail by the Supreme Court on Thursday in connection with an alleged cash-for-jobs scam.

A bench comprising Justice Abhay Oka and Justice Augustine George Marsh flagged his lengthy imprisonment and the delay in a trial, and said these could not go together.

The top court said: “What we have said is stringent and higher threshold of bail and delay in prosecution cannot go together.” 

The 48-year-old politician has been in jail since his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in June 2023. The SC, in November last year, refused to hear a bail plea, citing his health, noting it was not satisfied with his arguments and that his condition could be cured with medicines.

The bail conditions set for Senthil Balaji are as follows: He must appear before the arresting officials twice a week, he must not tamper with evidence or witnesses, and he must surrender his passport.
