LS Polls 2024: Congress manifesto launch | Priyanka Gandhi, Kharge slam BJP, Modi | Oneindia News

Top Congress leaders, including the party president Mallikarjun Kharge, former president Sonia Gandhi, held a rally in Jaipur on Saturday, April 6, to publicly launch its election manifesto 'Nyay Patra'. The Jaipur public rally comes a day after the Congress released its manifesto for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls promising a legal guarantee for MSP, and passing a constitutional amendment to raise the 50 per cent cap on reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs among others. The release of the manifesto 'Nyay Patra' was announced by Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, expressing happiness and pride in her mother Sonia Gandhi's presence in Rajasthan after becoming a member of the Rajya Sabha. Unemployment, claimed to be at its peak, was criticised, with allegations made against the BJP and Modi government for failing to address the issue adequately. The Agniveer scheme, accused of shattering people's hopes, was mentioned, along with concerns raised about leaked papers in various states and the ongoing protests by farmers, suggesting that PM Modi is unwilling to heed their grievances.

Sanjay Singh: Supreme Court grants bail to AAP leader in Delhi Excise Policy case | Oneindia

The Supreme Court granted bail to AAP leader Sanjay Singh in the Delhi excise policy case on Tuesday, as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) chose not to contest the bail plea. Confirming no objection to Sanjay Singh's bail, the ED marked a significant development in the case. Sanjay Singh, thus, becomes the first senior AAP leader to secure regular bail in the money laundering case linked to the defunct liquor policy. Notably, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, former deputy Manish Sisodia, and former health minister Satyendar Jain remain in judicial custody in connection with the same case. #SanjaySingh #SupremeCourt #AAPLeader #DelhiExcisePolicy #BailGranted #LegalUpdate #JudicialDecision #DelhiLaw #LegalNews #JusticePrevails ~PR.152~ED.103~
