Vice-presidential election: DMK in a bind as TN parties pitch for 'son of the soil'

IndiaTimes Monday, 18 August 2025 ()
The NDA's choice of C P Radhakrishnan for vice-president has placed DMK in a dilemma. While rejecting a Tamil Nadu native could be seen as disrespecting Tamil pride, supporting a BJP candidate clashes with DMK's stance against the Centre. AIADMK and BJP leaders are urging DMK to support Radhakrishnan, emphasizing the opportunity for a Tamilian to hold high office.

Rahul Gandhi Full Speech: Does Modi Have Courage to Call Trump a Liar? Op. Sindoor Debate

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has launched a sharp attack on PM Modi for avoiding a direct denial of Donald Trump's repeated claims that the U.S. mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Gandhi questioned why Modi refuses to name Trump in Parliament, hinting that silence could be tied to upcoming trade deals. Congress alleges that Trump’s claim has gone unchallenged 30 times. As tensions rise, Modi's restraint is fueling political backlash, with the Opposition claiming a cover-up and calling the PM’s silence a national concern. #RahulGandhi #Modi #Trump #IndiaPakistan #CeasefireClaim #TradeDeal #TrumpModi #CongressVsBJP #ModiSpeech #TrumpLies #LokSabha #PoliticalDrama #USIndiaRelations #ForeignMediation #ModiUnderFire #RahulVsModi #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #PMModi #RahulAttacksModi #IndiaPolitics #GlobalDiplomacy #TradePressure #ModiTrumpDeal #CongressAllegations #TrumpCeasefire #RahulPressMeet #ModiSpeechMissing #ParliamentDebate #CeasefireRow Also Read PM Modi Government Puts Tamil on the Global Map Like Never Before :: https://www.oneindia.com/temp/pm-modi-government-puts-tamil-nadu-on-the-global-map-like-never-before-7819081.html?ref=DMDesc Rahul Gandhi Doubles Down on Rigging Allegations, Says Election Process Is Over :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/rahul-gandhi-doubles-down-on-rigging-allegations-says-election-process-is-over-011-7818825.html?ref=DMDesc Government Reacts To Donald Trump's Statement, Scraps Reports Of Indian Oil Firms Halting Russian Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-reacts-to-donald-trumps-statement-scraps-reports-of-indian-oil-firms-halting-russian-im-7818621.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~
