Rahul Gandhi said that people in his family are trained to be like this, trained to be there for people, so manhandle us, kill us, beat us but we will be there for the farmers.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi held a press conference today at Congress’ Delhi headquarters. In the press conferences, he talked about the ruling party BJP and the recent violence that took place in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri.

He was also asked that Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has been arrested and what is his take on that. To which, he said this issue is not about Priyanka, this issue is about the farmers and we will be there for the farmers.
Rahul Gandhi also said that there is so-called democracy in India, but the harsh reality is that there is a dictatorship. He further said that the narrative that the ruling party is trying to build is all false and if they did too much of this, there will be an explosion of human emotion which will tear down the security wall.
Rahul was also asked that why is he trying to go there in Lakhimpur, to which he said that he wants to see the ground reality and those families don’t have hope, the Congress party wants to ensure that there are people for them.
He also took a dig at media and said that the work of creating pressure is of the media people but the opposition is doing this because the media people are not doing what they are supposed to do.

Liquor policy case: ED raids AAP MP Sanjay Singh’s Delhi’s residence
The Delhi government’s 2021 liquor policy, which was later abandoned, was the subject of the excise policy litigation.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh’s home is being searched in connection with a money laundering investigation involving the Delhi liquor policy issue. Early in the morning, Enforcement Directorate (ED) agents arrived at the Rajya Sabha MP’s Delhi residence.
After Manish Sisodia, a former deputy chief minister in the AAP government in Delhi, was detained by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in February, Singh is the most recent AAP leader to be under investigation by the federal agencies in the liquor policy case.
The Delhi government’s 2021 liquor policy, which was later abandoned, was the subject of the excise policy litigation. In the same case in April, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was also questioned for over nine hours.
One of the case’s approvers, the businessman Dinesh Arora, alleged that Singh had introduced him to Sisodia, the excise minister at the time.
However, despite the ED having filed three chargesheets in the case, he was never included as an accuser. Although he was mentioned in the chargesheets, he was neither summoned nor did his testimony in this matter be recorded.
The CBI claims that the excise policy, which would have generated a 12% profit for the companies, was drafted with the involvement of the alcohol industry. According to the FBI, a spirits lobby it called the South Group received bribes in exchange for it. According to the organisation, of the anticipated 12% profit, 6% was transferred through middlemen to public employees.
The alleged laundering of the kickbacks is being looked examined by the ED.
The BJP said that when the strategy was abandoned, the Delhi administration reinstated the previous liquor regulations in order to hide the corruption. His party said that Sisodia’s arrest was a attack on the Delhi model of governance notwithstanding his denial of any illegal activity.
