After Thalapathy Vijay’s TVK, Rahul Gandhi’s PM candidacy suffers another major setback, CPM says Congress should not rush.
The Congress party is unwilling to accept anything less than Rahul Gandhi’s PM candidacy in the India Bloc. However, its support base in the alliance is eroding in South India over this issue. Following TVK, the CPM has declared that Congress is not doing the right thing. Congress’s hopes for Rahul Gandhi are facing a setback from South India itself (Photo – NavbharatTimes.com) New Delhi: In Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister Thalapathy C. Joseph Vijay’s party, TVK, declared him the opposition’s prime ministerial candidate for 2029, infuriating his ruling ally, the Congress. The party immediately declared that Rahul Gandhi would be its candidate, and no one else could be. Now, the CPM has also stated that Congress is rushing things, as nothing has been finalized within the India Bloc. Blow to Rahul Gandhi from South Indian States Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was the by-default leader of the opposition alliance, the India Bloc, in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Under his leadership, the party won a record 99 seats in the last three elections. Of these, 42 came from South Indian states alone. However, it now appears that Congress allies in South India have rejected Rahul Gandhi’s leadership of the India Bloc and his potential candidacy for the post of Prime Minister in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. ‘Declaring Rahul as the Prime Ministerial candidate is illegitimate’ The CPM is a key ally of the Congress Party in the India Bloc. Furthermore, the CPM is also the leader of left-wing parties across the country. In an interview with our sister English newspaper, ET, CPM General Secretary MA Baby made it clear that Congress is making a gross mistake by projecting Rahul Gandhi as a Prime Ministerial candidate, as the India Bloc has not yet made any such decision. The India Bloc has not made any decision to project anyone as our Prime Ministerial candidate for the 2029 general elections. We have not even discussed this issue. Therefore, it is premature and illegitimate for Congress leaders to declare Rahul Gandhi as the India Bloc’s prime ministerial candidate for the 2029 elections. MA Baby, CPM General Secretary Our candidate is Rahul Gandhi – Congress Earlier, when the ruling TVK in Tamil Nadu attempted to portray Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay as a strong opposition PM candidate in the upcoming elections, Congress was enraged. State Congress President Manickam Tagore made it clear that the party would not compromise on Rahul Gandhi’s name. Our candidate is Rahul Gandhi. There is no doubt about this. Manickam Tagore, State Congress President, Tamil Nadu TVK MLA declares Vijay as PM candidate In fact, the controversy over the PM candidacy among India Bloc allies began when Kanimozhi Santosh, MLA of the ruling TVK in Tamil Nadu, said that Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, would help TVK President and Tamil Nadu CM C. Joseph Vijay become Prime Minister in 2029. It was Rahul Gandhi who placed our leader (CM Vijay) in the Chief Minister’s chair. Similarly, in 2029, Rahul Gandhi will hold our leader’s hand and take him to the Prime Minister’s chair. Kanimozhi Santosh, TVK MLA Arguments against Rahul Gandhi’s candidacy The CPM General Secretary says that the India Bloc was formed to defeat the Modi government. When the India Bloc wins against the Modi government, the parties in the alliance will decide who will be the Prime Minister. He said that even Manmohan Singh’s name was not finalized earlier. Some Congress leaders are probably talking about making (Rahul) Gandhi the PM candidate because he is the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha. However, Mallikarjun Kharge, in addition to being the Congress President, is also the Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha. MA Baby, CPM General Secretary ‘Congress has the right to stake claim if India Bloc wins’ The India Bloc leader says, “In the past, we have seen some regional parties come together after the elections and stake claim to form the government, which Congress had to support from outside.” However, if India Bloc wins the elections, Congress can stake claim to the PM post, just as some other (allied) parties can.

‘You don’t belong to anyone else, but yourself’: Rahul Gandhi’s message to young women
NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday described India’s 70 crore women as the country’s “biggest asset”, saying they are more forward-looking than men and have a crucial role in shaping the nation’s future. He also invoked the idea of women’s autonomy and said that a woman should have the exclusive ownership of her own life. Speaking at the fourth event of ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ at the AISSMS College Ground in Pune, Maharashtra, he invoked a verse from the Manusmriti and contrasted it with his call for the empowerment and autonomy of women. Rejecting the idea of women being liable to other men, he asserted that a woman’s exclusive ownership belongs to herself. While acknowledging that the relationships in a woman’s life are important, he stressed that they do not determine her identity or ownership. Speaking on the central theme of the evening, “break the cage”, Rahul Gandhi called on the audience to recognise the individuality that sets each person apart and to resist the pressures that seek to confine them to predetermined identities or expectations. He said the most important message he wanted people to take away from the evening was a simple but powerful one: “Every single one of you is unique in this universe.” Elaborating on the idea, Rahul Gandhi stressed that individuality is not merely about being different from others, but about recognising one’s own worth and identity. “You are unique. You are special. You are an individual,” he told the audience. He emphasised that every person has a distinct way of looking at the world, a different set of aspirations and the ability to imagine a life beyond the boundaries imposed on them. Rahul further connected this sense of individuality to the freedom to dream and choose one’s own path. “And you have your own dream, your own vision for your life,” he said. The emphasis, he suggested, was not simply on having dreams, but on having the freedom to define those dreams for oneself rather than allowing society, circumstances or established notions of what one ‘should’ be to determine them. Through the theme of “break the cage”, the LoP framed personal freedom as the ability to step outside these limitations and acknowledge that no individual should be reduced to a role, label or identity prescribed by others. His message was that recognising one’s uniqueness is the first step towards claiming the freedom to shape one’s own future, pursue one’s aspirations and live according to one’s own vision of life. Rahul Gandhi attacks Manusmriti Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on the Manusmriti over its treatment of women, criticising the text’s prescription that women should remain under the authority of male relatives throughout their lives. He contrasted the idea with his call for women’s autonomy, arguing that a woman’s identity and freedom should not be defined by her relationship with her father, husband or sons. Quoting from the Manusmriti, Rahul Gandhi said, “I (would) like to quote here the Manusmriti, which says clearly that in childhood a female must be subject to her father, in youth she belongs to her husband and, when her lord is dead, she belongs to her sons. A woman must never be independent.” Calling the words unacceptable, Rahul Gandhi added, “These words are a shame. These words should not have been spoken.” He said the country should instead recognise women as individuals with their own aspirations and agency, describing India’s 70 crore women as its “biggest strength” because of their “70 crore unique journeys, unique imagination, unique dreams”. His remarks framed the debate around women’s independence as a broader question of individual freedom, with Rahul arguing that women should have the right to define their own identities and determine the course of their lives rather than be treated as belonging to male relatives. Event follows political storm, clashes The event follows a political storm and clashes between student organisations. The programme was preceded by a midnight clash between the NSUI and ABVP at the COEP Technological University hostel. It happened after ABVP claimed that female students were being forced to attend the event. Meanwhile, Congress leaders countered the claims, saying two female students, who had earlier expressed their support for the event, were threatened and confined inside the hostel. BJP has also accused Congress of paying influencers and manufacturing crowds for the event. Meanwhile, Congress has alleged that the ruling establishment was attempting to disrupt Rahul Gandhi’s student outreach. NSUI-ABVP clash erupts at COEP hostel Tensions escalated on Friday night when NSUI and ABVP members clashed at the COEP hostel campus ahead of the LoP’s interaction. Police resorted to a lathi charge to control the situation, while several injured activists were taken to Sancheti Hospital. According to police sources cited in the material, the Shivajinagar Police registered cases against 50 to 60 people, including six named NSUI and Youth Congress activists, following a complaint by an ABVP member. The confrontation reportedly centred on student participation in LoP Rahul Gandhi’s programme. NSUI activists said they were responding to distress calls from female students, while ABVP alleged that Congress-linked workers were forcibly encouraging hostellers to register for the event. Congress alleges female students were intimidated Congress leaders accused ABVP workers of entering the girls’ hostel and intimidating students who had expressed support for the event. Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe alleged that a female student was cornered and forced to apologise on camera. NSUI state president Sagar Salunke claimed that students had called the organisation for help and alleged that CCTV cameras had been switched off before NSUI members arrived. Salunke also alleged that students, including orphaned students, had been pressured to record videos praising the college administration. The case registered by police followed a complaint from 21-year-old student Malhar Nilesh Patil, who alleged that a student’s video statement had been recorded under pressure at the hostel. Pawan Khera alleges conspiracy to disrupt event Congress leader Pawan Khera alleged that there had been a conspiracy to disrupt LoP’s Pune programme, claiming
Revanth praises Goud on marking two years as TPCC chief
Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Sunday praised the work of Congress leader Mahesh Kumar Goud in strengthening the party on the occasion of Goud being appointed as the TPCC president two years ago. In a post on X, Revanth said the appointment of Goud also fulfilled the social justice formula of the Congress party: “From an ordinary worker to the party’s state charioteer, on the occasion of completing two years as PCC president, heartfelt congratulations to MLC Mahesh Kumar Goud. Entrusting the reins of Telangana Congress to a BC son is not merely about assigning a position, but a testament to the Congress party’s commitment to social justice. From the day he took on that responsibility, under the leadership of AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge @kharge, and the guidance of Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi, the journey of Mahesh Kumar Goud garu in strengthening the party, standing as a support for the workers, is commendable. With the same dedication, wishing to reach even more milestones in public service, heartfelt congratulations to Mahesh Kumar Goud.” Mahesh Goud’s two years in office was marked by organisational strengthening, social justice initiatives and efforts to improve coordination between the govt and the party. The Congress also drew confidence from electoral victories, including the Jubilee Hills by-election, Nizamabad municipal elections and local body polls in the Reddy-BC leadership combination i.e. CM Revanth Reddy and TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud. These victories provided a boost to the party cadre and strengthened the leadership’s efforts to consolidate the organisation. During his tenure, Mahesh Kumar Goud implemented a special action plan aimed at strengthening the Congress from the grassroots level. Particular emphasis was placed on energising party workers from villages and mandals to district-level units and ensuring better coordination between the govt and the party. One of the major organisational initiatives during his tenure was the large-scale training camp for DCC presidents from the erstwhile Telugu states at Vikarabad under the ‘Sanghatan Srujan Abhiyan’. Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and AICC general secretary KC Venugopal attended the programme. Rahul Gandhi’s appreciation of Mahesh Kumar Goud’s performance during the event was viewed as an important recognition of his organisational efforts. Another key focus was taking the govt’s welfare and development programmes to the people while ensuring that problems emerging at the grassroots were conveyed to the party leadership. Face-to-face interactions with ministers and padyatras were used to strengthen the party’s connection with the public and its cadre.

MPSC aspirants to protest in Pune on Monday; support pours in from CJP, Rahul Gandhi, Aaditya Thackeray
Pune: A day before a protest march announced by Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) aspirants against alleged irregularities in the recruitment process, demanding either resignation or removal of the commission’s chairperson, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) as well as opposition leaders like LOP Rahul Gandhi of Congress and MLA Aaditya Thackeray of Shiv Sena (UBT) extended their support to the agitation. In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi said thousands of students across Maharashtra were protesting peacefully, with their concerns extending beyond a particular examination or recruitment process to a broader loss of faith in the system. “Whether at Centre or in the state, every student is fed up with BJP govt. Paper leaks, stalled recruitments, unaffordable education, inhumane hostel conditions, poisonous food and fraud in DBT. And now, by taking control of a constitutional body like MPSC, it has destroyed the institution’s credibility,” he said. The Congress leader said that every demand from students for their successful future is justified. He said govt must listen to their voice and act immediately, else this echo of students will only grow louder until justice is served. The scheduled protest of MPSC students that will start from Omkareshwar Temple and culminate at the Pune district collector’s office also received backing from CJP chief Abhijit Dipke, who announced that CJP supports the demands. Some office-bearers of CJP also met agitating students to declare that they too will take part in the march. Thackeray, who was in Pune on Sunday to participate in the protest march by Hinjewadi residents and IT professionals for better infrastructure, also met MPSC aspirants later in the day and announced his party’s support for them. “We stand with MPSC students. The local Shiv Sena (UBT) and Yuva Sena will participate in Monday’s march,” he said. NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar met MPSC aspirants on Saturday and addressed a press-conference alongside them to announce the proposed protest march. Pawar has also been raising concerns over the FDA inspector recruitment examination, which came under scrutiny following allegations of a question paper leak. Police have arrested several people in connection with the case and the exam was cancelled in Aug after leak was confirmed. The developments come after state govt formed a committee on Sept 4 to review the existing recruitment examination system and recommend measures to make it more transparent and reliable. Meanwhile, BJP MLA Vikram Pachpute, who met MPSC aspirants in Pune on Sunday, said efforts were being made to resolve the issue through dialogue and to persuade the protesting students. He said the agitation should not be exploited for political gains. On the demand for the removal of MPSC chairperson Vivek Bhimanwar, Pachpute said the commission is an autonomous body and its chairperson is appointed by the governor. “Govt does not even have the authority to demand his resignation,” he said.

After meeting Bihar youth, Rahul slams PM Modi, Samrat Choudhary
NEW DELHI: Congress functionary Rahul Gandhi Sunday lashed out at PM Narendra Modi and Bihar chief minister Samrat Choudhary over the police action against protesting students in the state, asking while their broken bones would be fixed, if their shattered dreams could be restored. Gandhi shared a video of his recent meeting with students and youngsters from Bihar who, he said, endured “horrific police brutality” for raising their voices against alleged irregularities in the examination system. In his post accompanying the video, Rahul said, “Imagine, what sin had these children committed that they were shot with bullets? They had only asked the govt for three things – education, employment, and accountability.” Patna witnessed a pitched battle between job aspirants and police last month as demonstrators tried to march to the CM’s residence demanding a single-tier teacher job exam and a transparent recruitment process. He also drew attention to students issues in Maharashtra saying, “Thousands of students are on the streets, protesting peacefully -the reason isn’t just one exam or recruitment, but a trust that’s been shattered by the entire system.” Gandhi stressed that govt must listen to their voice and act immediately – otherwise, this ‘Chhatron ki Goonj’ will only grow louder until justice is served. His remarks came after Maharashtra constituted a high-level panel to undertake a comprehensive review of the existing recruitment examination system in the state and suggest measures to make it more transparent, secure, reliable and candidate-friendly.

‘Bones will mend but shattered dreams?’ Rahul Gandhi meets Bihar student protesters shot at with AK-47
NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday shared a video of his interaction with three students who were injured during police action amid recent student protests in Bihar. The three were part of a group of students from Bihar who met the Lok Sabha leader of opposition at his Delhi residence on September 3. In a social media post, Gandhi said the three students had been “shot at”, referring to a protest in Siwan, Bihar, on July 25. “Think about it: what crime had these children committed that they were shot? They had asked the government for just three things — education, employment, and accountability,” the Raebareli MP wrote on X. The leg bone of one of the students, he added, was shattered after he was hit by a bullet fired from an AK-47. “Along with it, his dream of joining the Army and serving the country was shattered too. Bullets tore through the shoulders of two other students,” Rahul Gandhi wrote. “They were not criminals. They were children from poor families who had gone out to study carrying the dreams of their families — some wanted a good job, while others wanted to change the circumstances of their homes,” he added. The Congress leader further remarked that while their physical wounds would heal, there is no answer to how the psychological trauma they had suffered could be treated. “Mr prime minister, Mr chief minister — their broken bones will heal. Can you give them back their broken dreams?” Rahul Gandhi said, questioning Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar chief minister Samrat Choudhary. Several parts of Bihar witnessed student protests, some of which turned violent, on July 25 as part of a broader agitation by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) in Delhi. The CJP was leading protests demanding the resignation of then-Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET paper leak issue, along with reforms in the education system. The CJP, which had been protesting at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar since June 21, called off its agitation on July 25, shortly after Pradhan resigned. Union minister Pralhad Joshi has since been given additional charge of the Education ministry. The Bihar government has told the Supreme Court that a police constable fired four rounds from an AK-47 into the air after being trapped in a crowd, while maintaining that no protester was injured in the firing. The constable has since been suspended.

Punjab shunts DSP, lines 3 cops over ‘torture’ of youth who waved black flag at CM; Rahul dials victim
Patiala: Punjab govt and state police headquarters on Saturday transferred Sunam DSP Harwinder Singh and sent three other officers to Police Lines after a youth who waved a black flag at chief minister Bhagwant Mann alleged custodial torture. Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi telephoned the youth amid mounting political pressure. Sangrur Rural DSP Dalbir Singh said Harwinder Singh had been posted to Police Training Academy in Bahadurgarh, Patiala. Inspector and SHO Prateek Jindal, sub-inspector and SHO Baljit Singh, and ASI Harpreet Singh were directed to report immediately to Sangrur Police Lines pending a departmental inquiry. Mohanjit Singh of Sheron village in Sangrur district’s Sunam subdivision climbed onto a rooftop and waved a black flag during an official gathering addressed by Mann on Sept 2, protesting against the state’s drug problem. Police detained him under Sections 126 and 170 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. After securing bail, he was admitted to Sangrur Civil Hospital. Mohanjit alleged that police gave him electric shocks, pulled his beard, tore his religious symbol of faith, rubbed salt into his wounds and forcibly administered substances to fabricate a positive dope test. Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring visited Mohanjit in hospital on Saturday and arranged the call with Gandhi, who praised his courage and pledged support. Warring demanded the officers’ dismissal and criminal prosecution. He and Punjab Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa petitioned National Human Rights Commission for an independent investigation. Congress also announced a statewide agitation to wave black flags wherever Mann travels. Sangrur police defended the preventive detention, describing Mohanjit as a history-sheeter named in eight FIRs, including cases involving attempt to murder, dacoity and Arms Act offences. Police said a mandatory medical examination before his production before the sub-divisional magistrate found no fresh visible injuries. Finance minister Harpal Singh Cheema condemned the incident and said the inquiry was examining the allegations. Sunam MLA and cabinet minister Aman Arora also condemned the episode, saying police officers he questioned had strongly denied the assault allegations.

‘Trust shattered’: Rahul backs students protesting against MPSC paper leak in Maharashtra
NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi on Sunday backed students protesting against alleged irregularities in Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) examinations, saying that “every student is tormented by the BJP regime”. In a post on X, Rahul said thousands of students were protesting in Maharashtra because their trust in the system had been “shattered”. “In Maharashtra, thousands of students are on the streets, protesting peacefully – the reason isn’t just one exam or recruitment, but a trust that’s been shattered by the entire system,” Rahul said. “Whether it’s the central or state government, every student is tormented by the BJP regime. Paper leaks, stalled recruitments, the unbearable cost of education, inhumane conditions in hostels, food like poison, fraud in DBT and now, they’ve seized control of a constitutional body like MPSC and destroyed its credibility,” he added. The Congress leader urged the government to listen to the students and act immediately, warning that their protests would grow louder until justice was served. “Every demand from students for their successful future is justified. The government must listen to their voice and act immediately – otherwise, this echo of the students will only grow louder until justice is served,” Rahul said. Rahul’s remarks came amid an ongoing Mumbai Police probe into the alleged leak of the question paper for the MPSC Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Inspector examination. MPSC conducted the offline examination for Drug Inspector posts on March 22. Candidates had subsequently raised concerns over a possible paper leak, but alleged that their complaints were not acted upon. The recruitment process was later completed, with a merit list of 488 candidates published. MPSC has since cancelled the recruitment process for Drug Inspector Group-B posts under the Food and Drug Administration Department following a preliminary inquiry into alleged malpractice in the screening examination. A police inquiry prima facie indicated that one candidate had received the question paper before the examination and benefited from it, the commission said. It added that it considered the seriousness of the findings before deciding to cancel the recruitment process. Police have also arrested six people, including three MPSC officials, in connection with the alleged question paper leak in the 2026 Drug Inspector Group-B screening examination, which has now been cancelled.

Ahead of Rahul Gandhi’s visit, Bhupesh Baghel to tour Punjab
Chandigarh: Ahead of the proposed visit of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to Punjab, Punjab Congress in charge Bhupesh Baghel is scheduled to visit the state next week as the party works on preparations for the proposed tour. Baghel will address a news conference in Chandigarh on Sept 7 on the issue of the Mallikarjun Kharge “purification” controversy and the FIR registered against Rahul Gandhi. He will also participate in the Congress’s statewide protest against Punjab govt on Sept 8. Amid factionalism within the party, it remains to be seen whether former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi and other leaders supporting him will participate in the Sept 8 statewide protest. The Channi group has been pressing for the removal of Amrinder Singh Raja Warring as Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president. A meeting on Rahul Gandhi’s proposed Punjab visit was held in Delhi on Thursday and was attended by Baghel, Warring, Leader of Opposition Partap Singh Bajwa and Punjab Congress co-in charge Suraj Singh Thakur. The proposed route of the bus yatra of Rahul Gandhi was discussed at the meeting. The Punjab Congress has also sent the central leadership a detailed proposal for the visit. On the timing of Rahul Gandhi’s visit, Warring said that if it is a long, multi-day tour, it is likely to take place after Sept 19. If it is a shorter visit, the programme could be announced within the next one or two days. As per the proposed plan, Rahul Gandhi’s visit is likely to begin from Amritsar. According to information, the first phase of the proposed bus yatra is expected to cover 15 to 18 Assembly constituencies. Ahead of Rahul Gandhi’s visit, the Congress high command may also hold a separate interaction with Channi and other leaders supporting him as part of efforts to address differences within the state unit. Channi and Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa were not part of Thursday’s Delhi meeting. A separate meeting with the Channi group is now being considered, and Channi and some other senior leaders who have expressed their differences may be called to Delhi.
