Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah says, " Now I want to speak about their leader, Rahul Gandhi. During his long political career, Rahul Gandhi has been seen multiple times with Naxalites and their cadres. During the Bharat Jodo Yatra, several frontal Naxal organizations participated. There is a record of this... In 2018, in Hyderabad, he met Gummadi Vittal Rao, also known as Gaddar, whose ideology is closely aligned with Naxalism... When HIDMA was killed, 172 soldiers lost their lives. At India Gate, slogans were raised: 'Kitne HIDMA maaroge, har ghar se HIDMA niklega' A video of this was personally tweeted by Rahul Gandhi. How can one escape from this?... The people of this country will have to respond to this in elections. This issue will not stop here..."

VIDEO | Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Union Home Minister Amit Shah says, “The opposition leader Rahul Gandhi is a senior Congress leader and is often active in public life. During Lok Sabha sessions, major party events and elections take place, and senior leaders naturally interact with the public and express their views. This is normal and has happened with many leaders, not just Rahul ji. But the question is, if he was absent from the House, where was he? He was on trips abroad, to Germany in winter 2025, Vietnam, England, Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries, for a total of 60 days. It is purely coincidental that these trips coincided with budget sessions. Whenever there is a budget discussion, he seems to be abroad. Then he complains that he is not allowed to speak. How can he speak from a foreign country? There is no video-conference facility here; otherwise, he could have participated remotely...Should I also comment on the opposition’s conduct? For example, when the Prime Minister was seated at the Treasury Bench, some opposition members ran up and hugged him, this has never happened before. It has never happened that members of Opposition parties blow flying kisses or wink at ruling party members. Honestly, I even hesitate to speak about it.”

VIDEO | BRS leader KT Rama Rao (KTR) says, "The Telangana Chief Minister has been reckless and irresponsible with his remarks. He even called the state's engineering graduates 'criminal waste'. That is why I have written to Rahul Gandhi with some pointed questions. Your father, Rajiv Gandhi, was an engineer too. Does that make him 'criminal waste' as well? The Chief Minister also told police constable recruitment aspirants, who are demanding notifications for 20,000 vacancies instead of 5,000, to consume pesticide, jump into a well and die. Such remarks are unacceptable. Before the elections, Rahul Gandhi promised two lakh government jobs in the first year if the Congress came to power. It has been over two years, but there has been no response to the youth's concerns or to our letters. If Rahul Gandhi does not come to Hyderabad, Telangana's youth will stage a protest outside his residence in Delhi and ask what happened to the promise of two lakh jobs and the job calendar. A youth named Venu allegedly died by suicide after leaving a note addressed to Rahul Gandhi. Who will take responsibility? I hope Rahul Gandhi steps in, speaks to Telangana's youth and offers a solution." (Full video available on PTI Videos -

#WATCH | Delhi: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh says, "The remarks made by LoP Rahul Gandhi on PM Narendra Modi and India's foreign policy yesterday are petty and condemnable. It is painful for me personally, too. In my long political life, I had never seen such indecent and unimaginable conduct from any LoP. Such conduct is a grave sign of a threat to a healthy democracy. Rahul Gandhi might have frustration with PM in his mind but such indecent remarks are unacceptable, especially when PM Modi has been a Prime Minister who has brought prestige to India nationally and internationally, and paved the way for Viksit Bharat. In 12 years, working with full dedication, he did not take any leave. Such indecent remarks against such a PM pain every Indian. I would also like to humbly tell the Congress party that after such language and conduct, can they have any claim over the legacy of Lal-Bal-Pal and Gandhi, Patel and Nehru, from Subhas babu to Rajendra babu and Shastri ji and Narasimha Rao ji to Pranab Mukherjee? With this conduct, Rahul Gandhi has not only insulted PM Narendra Modi but also the international prestige of India. He has shredded the dignity of the post of Lok Sabha LoP. I cannot even imagine that someone with Gandhi surname can make such a shameful remark."

#WATCH | Delhi: On Congress's protest at LKM, BJP President Nitin Nabin says, "The conduct displayed today by LoP Rahul Gandhi is entirely unbecoming and condemnable. His behavior clearly demonstrates that he does not take the dignity of the Leader of the Opposition's office seriously... We have consistently maintained that Rahul Gandhi is emerging as a symbol of anarchy. Certain parliamentary offices do not belong to any single party; the Prime Minister is not merely the leader of one party but the elected representative of 1.4 billion citizens. The behaviour exhibited by Rahul Gandhi and his team and their attempt to incite anarchy during their visit to the Prime Minister's residence today clearly indicates that this is not the politics of dissent, but rather the politics of anarchy. It is particularly concerning that a senior leader like Mallikarjun Kharge accompanied Rahul Gandhi... Today's incident is undoubtedly unfortunate—a dark day in India's political history. We, too, have served in the Opposition for long periods, yet we never breached such boundaries... When Rahul Gandhi set conditions, they were accepted. Yet, it is unfortunate that a person holding the office of LoP backs out once the process moves forward... I would tell our colleagues in the Congress opposition that we are always ready for any kind of dialogue on the floor of Parliament. However, the emerging trend of breaching decorum and the anarchic mindset developing within your ranks are certainly distressing the nation; the country stands firmly with its Prime Minister..."

#WATCH | Bengaluru: On being excluded from the Cabinet, Karnataka Congress leader Dinesh Gundu Rao said, "...I am more disappointed with the fact that they have not given a proper reason for why I have been excluded. I have been a minister and have had many opportunities in the Congress Party. The only thing is that they should have told me the reasons. I don't know why I have been dropped. Was I a bad performer as a minister? Do I have any corruption charges? Was I not working well for the party? I have always been loyal to the party, and whatever responsibility the party has given me, I have always tried to do my best. Even in the previous government when Siddaramaiah was there, I voluntarily told him for three years that he should make somebody else a minister because I wanted to work for the party. Becoming a minister is not the end for me. But the disappointment is that they have not given me a proper reason why they have dropped me...I hope that at least in the future they will tell me the reason for dropping me. A proper reason should be given. That is the only thing I expect. I am a loyal Congressman. I believe in the ideology of the Congress Party. Congress has given me a lot, no doubt. At the same time, people ask me, and I have no answer as to why they have dropped me." On the State Cabinet expansion, he said, "I congratulate all the people who have just got the opportunity to become ministers. I hope they will do a good job and serve the interests of the people of Karnataka well. My best wishes to them." "The party leadership should look into all those who are disappointed, including many seniors who have not got opportunities and have been waiting for a long time. They should talk to them, console them, and try to bring them on board. This exercise should be done by the party leadership, our state KPCC president, and the Chief Minister. I am sure they will do all that so that whoever has not got an opportunity can be consoled. These things always happen when a ministry formation takes place."

#WATCH | Delhi: DMK MP P Wilson held a press conference regarding his meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, along with representatives from Christian organisations, to discuss issues related to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA). He says, "...We, the Joint Action Forum on Minorities, have been convening various meetings among ourselves throughout India since April... we decided to give a detailed representation to the Home Minister. We had given a representation to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister's office forwarded it to the Home Minister, and we were called by the Home Minister for a meeting today, and we all had a meeting with the Home Minister. We clearly spelt out the illegalities in the amendment bill. We pointed out clause by clause and also certain provisions in the existing Act which, according to us, are unnecessary. Even if a license is going to be cancelled, even if a registration is going to be cancelled, there was no necessity to take over the properties of these organizations, including their activities... this was also clearly explained to the Home Minister that these bodies have employed expert hands for running these organizations, institutions, hospitals, and by taking over it will clearly destroy the organizations, including the hospitals. We have also said that it is not good even for the people as well as for the majority for whom we are serving… We clearly explained the repercussions and how draconian it is, how it affects or violates the constitutional guarantees to the minorities, including to the extent of taking over the places of worship; also, we pointed out. The Home Minister spent about an hour discussing with us, and we had clearly explained to him with an open mind. He heard us, and he said that he'll look into this matter."

The battle for women vote has found a new leash of life after Rahul Gandhi spoke of fighting Shakti in Hindu dharma. Despite Congress’s several attempts to explain what Rahul Gandhi meant, the BJP charge, led by none other than Prime Minister Modi has been unrelenting. The BJP alleged that Rahul Gandhi is not just anti-Hindu but also a misogynist. Not wanting to keep Rahul’s comments limited to the divine form of Shakti alone, the Prime Minister linked it to Nari Shakti and Bharat Mata. Today, stepping up the attack, the BJP ensured that the PM was welcomed by 11 Shakti Ammas in the Salem rally. On the face of it, it may appear mere symbolism but the political messaging can’t be overlooked. The PM has quickly positioned himself as one who revers and has worked for the empowerment of Nari Shakti as opposed to the Congress, led by Rahul Gandhi, who wants to fight Shakti. Has the Congress played into the hands of BJP, once again? After all, the PM has assiduously nurtured the women vote block. Several of his social welfare programs, from Aawas to Ujjwala to Sauchalay, are all about women empowerment. The PM has specifically focused on pushing more women to be entrepreneurs. His Lakhpati Didi is an ambitious program. Besides, the Govt never tires recounting that 50% of all beneficiaries, across programs, are women. Legislating on women’s reservation bill or praising women scientists for the success of Chandrayaan3, have all been part of PM Modi’s political pitch. Given the context, it would be interesting to see how the fight for women’s vote shapes up in the days ahead. For now, the BJP and the PM have grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

A central bank. And Bitcoin. My speech at The Bitcoin Conference 2026 in Las Vegas on 28 April 2026. Video and text; the slide link is below: Today, I want to talk about a strange combination: A central bank. And Bitcoin. Most people do not put these two things together. I do. In monetary policy, a central bank must be conservative. But it must think ahead. When I became Governor of the Czech National Bank in mid-2022, inflation in my country was close to 20 percent. Twenty percent. It was a serious moment. When I took office, I said we would bring inflation back to 2 percent within two years. And we did. Not with magic. With discipline. I said this clearly: Even before covid, money was too cheap for too long. For too long, the system promoted borrowing. For too long, the currency was weakened. We changed that. We kept policy tighter for longer. We supported saving. And the koruna became strong. That, for me, is conservative monetary policy. Our rule is simple: stay hawkish forever. We also manage very large foreign exchange reserves. Very large. We manage about 180 billion dollars in reserves. That is about 44 percent of GDP. Relative to the size of our economy, our reserves are among the largest in the world. So we have to build the right portfolio for the future. Here, you can see the long-term risk and return. It is based on Czech koruna data, the currency in which our books are kept. Bonds are at the low end. Low risk. Low return. Stocks and gold can offer higher returns. But they also bring higher risk. The next point is the Czech National Bank’s portfolio. Over the past four years, we increased the share of equities from 15 to 26 percent. We also increased the share of gold from almost zero to 6 percent. We built a diversified portfolio. A higher expected return than before. Lower risk than an all-stock portfolio. And even lower risk than an all-bond portfolio. But then came the next question. Can we do more? Can we build an even stronger portfolio for the future This is where Bitcoin comes in. The first time I used Bitcoin, I bought a coffee in Prague about ten years ago. Today, that coffee comes to about 350 dollars. It was the most expensive coffee of my life. Bitcoin has had very high returns. But honestly, it looks risky. It is much more volatile than other assets. One day, its price may be much higher. Or it could go to zero. Yes, zero. And that is true for other assets too. A stock can go to zero. Even a bond can fail. That is why it is not wise to bet on just one asset. We have to think about the whole portfolio. The next point on the chart is what we found in our new analysis. This is our model portfolio with 1 percent in Bitcoin. And here comes the interesting part. With 1 percent in Bitcoin, the expected return goes up. And the overall risk stays about the same. That is what our new study shows. Why? Because Bitcoin has low long-term correlation with many traditional assets. It does not move in the same way. And that matters. When you add an asset like this, the whole portfolio can work better. The return can go up. And the risk can stay about the same. That is diversification. Over the long term, Bitcoin can provide returns that are not closely linked to other assets. In some ways, it is similar to venture capital. But it is much more liquid. So we started a separate test portfolio with Bitcoin. A test portfolio. Not a revolution. Not a political statement. A test. We will run it for two years. Then we will publish the results. Then we will decide what comes next. Be conservative in monetary policy. Be innovative in how we work. This is the future.

The former RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch warned people about #KeirStarmer before the election. Most of the media laughed it off. Many in Labour dismissed him. But he understood exactly what Starmer represented. Lynch said Starmer’s Labour was managerial, not political. A party run by lawyers, advisors, and communications professionals rather than people rooted in labour history, trade unions, industry, or working-class communities. A party that believed in management, not representation. Stability, not change. Administration, not politics. He warned that if Starmer won, Labour would not govern as a movement, but as a management team. If anything, Lynch understated it. What we have seen is not a political Prime Minister but an administrative one. Government by briefing note, by focus group, by legal framing rather than political vision. A Labour Party reshaped from a political movement into something closer to a corporate structure with MPs. Under Starmer, Labour has been changed more fundamentally than even under Blair. Blair at least had a political project. Starmer’s project has been control. Centralise the party. Remove internal opposition. Sideline unions. Purge members. Control candidate selection. Control messaging. Control policy. The result is a Labour Party that is now barely recognisable as a working-class party, and barely recognisable even as a democratic political party. It behaves more like an administrative arm of the state than a movement representing the people. Alongside this has come something else that should worry anyone who cares about civil liberties. Expanding surveillance powers. Restrictions on protest. Speech laws framed as safety. Increasing police powers. More powers for the state, fewer rights for the citizen. All passed in the language of responsibility and stability. This is managerial politics. Not leadership, not representation, not democracy in the traditional labour movement sense. Management of the population. Management of expectations. Management of decline. Mick Lynch saw a managerial Labour Party coming. What he didn’t see was a Labour Party rebuilt as a machine: centrally controlled, staffed with loyalists, a government with authoritarian instincts and no roots in the labour movement at all, parachuting in MPs with little to no experience outside political offices, hand-picked acolytes from outfits like Labour Together, selected not for independence or service to their communities, but for loyalty to the leadership. MPs whose first duty is not to their constituents, not to their country, but to the party machine and the people who control it. Labour didn’t win power for the people. Starmer won power for the global oligarchy and that little club he's been a member of since 2019... Paul Knaggs , Labour Heartlands

The former RMT General Secretary Mick Lynch warned people about #KeirStarmer before the election. Most of the media laughed it off. Many in Labour dismissed him. But he understood exactly what Starmer represented. Lynch said Starmer’s Labour was managerial, not political. A party run by lawyers, advisors, and communications professionals rather than people rooted in labour history, trade unions, industry, or working-class communities. A party that believed in management, not representation. Stability, not change. Administration, not politics. He warned that if Starmer won, Labour would not govern as a movement, but as a management team. If anything, Lynch understated it. What we have seen is not a political Prime Minister but an administrative one. Government by briefing note, by focus group, by legal framing rather than political vision. A Labour Party reshaped from a political movement into something closer to a corporate structure with MPs. Under Starmer, Labour has been changed more fundamentally than even under Blair. Blair at least had a political project. Starmer’s project has been control. Centralise the party. Remove internal opposition. Sideline unions. Purge members. Control candidate selection. Control messaging. Control policy. The result is a Labour Party that is now barely recognisable as a working-class party, and barely recognisable even as a democratic political party. It behaves more like an administrative arm of the state than a movement representing the people. Alongside this has come something else that should worry anyone who cares about civil liberties. Expanding surveillance powers. Restrictions on protest. Speech laws framed as safety. Increasing police powers. More powers for the state, fewer rights for the citizen. All passed in the language of responsibility and stability. This is managerial politics. Not leadership, not representation, not democracy in the traditional labour movement sense. Management of the population. Management of expectations. Management of decline. Mick Lynch saw a managerial Labour Party coming.

#WATCH | Congress MP Manish Tewari says, "Absolutely anguished at the inhumane treatment which has been meted out to the Indians who have been deported from the United States of America and brought to Amritsar. They are not criminals, they may have illegally entered the US in search of a better life. The first question which needs to be determined, for which there is no answers so far, has the due process of law as is available in the US been followed for their deportation. If at all they are deported why do you need to handcuff them, shackle them for hours, make them eat food with their hands in handcuffs...This is absolutely inhumane and medieval. We are not living in barbaric times, every person has the right to be treated with human dignity. Yes, you don't want them in your country. Ostensibly, they entered illegally. You are sending them back, Govt of India is taking them back but at least send them back with dignity and respect. I have failed to understand how can the Govt at the level of the PM and the Foreign Minister countenance such inhumane treatment of Indian citizens."

#WATCH | Bengaluru: On denial of clearance for US visit, Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge says, "I am well within my right to seek answers from the Government of India on why they refused permission to a delegation led by me. I am not going as an individual, I an representing the Government of Karnataka and Government of India as the world's fourth-largest technology's custodian. We are number 1 in IT, number 1 in ESDM, number 1 in electronics. If Government of Karnataka is being denied permissions without valid reasons, that is a problem...How do you think the PM is going to have a 10 trillion dollar economy without the states' functioning? So, I am asking what are the reasons that you have rejected permission for delegation. Delegation led by Minister is rejected but the officers' delegation is approved. Another cabinet-rank colleague of mine has been approved...The denial is a surprise...The BJP and RSS love me a lot...We are not saying that Uttar Pradesh or Madhya Pradesh should not go but who are the most capable people who can deliver on global stage? It is the governments run like that in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu or Telangana, we speak at the global forum, we are competing with Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, eastern European countries today. We are not competing against just our neighbouring states. The geographical boundaries have thinned. In which era the government of India is in..."

Is it the Dictatorship of Goa BJP Govt Health Minister Vishwajit Rane ? All because one person from the press complained to him and if it was Normal Person he would not care also. 1. Walking around the hospital like he owns it 2. Recording videos in an area where it's clearly stated that videography isn't allowed 3. No respect and etiquette while talking to a doctor 4. Interrupting the functioning of the casualty where multiple patients need urgent treatment just for his social media theatrics 5. Abusing his power and acting like a big shot. Whether the CMO made a mistake or not, there is a way situations should be handled and our HM has no idea how to handle it. Dr Rudresh has never been rude to anyone. He has taught many of the medicos how to deal with emergencies in casualties with great passion and he is serving people from past 12 to 15 years. He should have been given a chance to explain himself. This is very sad. GMC casualty is always loaded with emergencies. There are many patients who come to casualty for minor injections which can be actually given in nearby PHCs. #Justice Dr. Anjali Hemant Nimbalkar Capt.

🇺🇬 BARYOMUNSI BLAMES “EXTERNAL FORCES” AS MEDICAL INTERNS HOLD BACK FROM POSTINGS Minister Chris Baryomunsi says medical interns have been deployed to eligible hospitals and were expected to report between 3 and 14 August, as government continues consultations over their welfare concerns. In his response to Parliament: • He says he held a six-hour meeting with leaders of the medical interns. • He says government acknowledges concerns over the new policy measures on interns’ welfare. • He blames “external forces” for advising interns not to report for duty. • He argues that internship is a transition to becoming a fully licensed professional and that interns need to complete it to practise. • He rejects claims that interns run Uganda’s health system, pointing to facilities that operate without interns. • He says government expects to conclude consultations and present its final position by next week.

#WATCH | Delhi: BJP MP Sambit Patra says, "I want to expose the kind of tweet that has been made by Congress about Prime Minister Modi ji – a fraudulent tweet. As you all know, there's a person named Jeffrey Epstein, after whom the Epstein Files are named. Those Epstein Files were revealed. Jeffrey Epstein was a child trafficker, a sex offender, a person with no credibility, who was ultimately convicted and committed suicide by hanging himself. An email from this person, Jeffrey Epstein, where he is talking to someone else- both individuals are of questionable character, and we don't know much about them – that email has been edited by the Congress party. In that email, where the word "his" is not present, the Congress party has tried to add "his advice," making it appear as if Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji took advice from Jeffrey Epstein. It's not even in the email, but the Congress party has edited it, committed fraud, and added the word "his." This is the true face of the Congress party... This is the same Congress party whose entire Gandhi family was sitting in a tent with China, the enemy of our country, during the Doklam standoff, plotting against India. This is the same Congress party whose mother and son, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, went to China and signed secret documents and MOUs... There will be consequences. Fraud has consequences. You have tried to spread falsehoods and misleading information, and the way you have twisted and distorted the facts, the people of India will give you an answer..."
