On Wednesday, Priyanka wrote a scathing tweet saying that “goons” were getting preference in the party.

Lok Sabha elections 2024: AIADMK cuts ties with BJP, NDA, to contest alone
AIADMK deputy coordinator K P Munusamy stated that the state leadership of the BJP has been continuously making unnecessary remarks about their former leaders, their general secretary EPS and their cadres for the past one year.
In a major setback to the BJP-led NDA ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the AIADMK on Monday announced that it is breaking the alliance with the BJP. The AIADMK unanimously passed a party resolution in this regard.
Announcing the decision, AIADMK deputy coordinator K P Munusamy said the BJP state leadership has been continuously making unnecessary remarks about their former leaders, their general secretary Edapaddi Palaniswami and their cadres for the past one year.
The decision to part ways follows months of speculation over the strained relationship between the AIADMK and the BJP. Notably, Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai had repeatedly commented against AIADMK leaders and that did not earn him any wrath as the BJP was seemingly okay with Annamalai’s assault on the AIADMK leadership.
As far as reports are concerned, even though the AIADMK’s relationship with Annamalai had not been smooth for more than a year, the latter’s observations on DMK founder CN Annadurai, the AIADMK is a breakway from the DMK and founded by MG Ramachandran after Annadurai’s death, for the last couple of weeks had provoked the latest round of spat between the two parties.
AIADMK spokesperson D Jayakumar termed Annamalai a destructive pest for his comments on Annadurai and this back and forth between the two allies clouded their future. The decision was welcomed by AIADMK party workers and they celebrated the announcement by bursting crackers in Chennai.
This break-up was developing in the background when Palaniswami met Amit Shah on September 14. Following that, an AIADMK delegation made a trip to Delhi where they are believed to have discussed the alliance issue with BJP chief JP Nadda and BJP leader Piyush Goyal.
As per reports, these trips did not come up with any positive results as the BJP national leadership did not intervene in the state-level feud. Meanwhile, the AIADMK is not part of the opposition bloc Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance, which is supported by the DMK. The AIADMK affirmed on Monday that it will lead a separate front in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

He attacked the BJP government at the Centre after PM Modi addressed a rally in the poll bound Madhya Pradesh and said the Congress party has rusted like iron. PM Modi said Congress would push back Madhya Pradesh in the sick category whereas 1.5 crore people came out of poverty under the BJP rule in the last five years.
According to PM Modi the Congress and its allies have supported the bill out of hesitation and compulsion as they understood the power of Nari Shakti. PM Modi said Modi means the guarantee of fulfilling guarantees. Rahul Gandhi repeated what he had said in the Lok Sabha during his intervention on the women’s reservation bill.
He said there are only 3 OBC bureaucrats working for the government of India. Rahul Gandhi said caste census is the X-ray of Hindustan. The caste census will determine how many Dalits, SC/STs are there. Gandhi said the government is running away from caste census. He promised the congress will do a caste census.
In all Congress ruled states the public is at the centre and the government is not run by Adaniji. Talking to the media on Sunday Rahul Gandhi said he was confident Congress is winning the election in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. In Rajasthan the fight would be close Gandhi predicted.

Ramesh Bidhuri remarks row: BJP MP meets party’s President JP Nadda
Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also came out in support of Danish Ali. The BSP MP was verbally abused during the discussion of the success of Chandrayaan 3 in the Lok Sabha.
BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri who had been served notice on the instruction of party’s President JP Nadda met the latter on Monday. He was served a showcause notice after a vulgar outburst in the Lok Sabha which was caught on camera and fiercely condemned by the opposition.
Meanwhile on Sunday, the Bharatiya Janata Party denied to comment on his use of anti-Muslim slurs. Following a day after he was publicly abused, MP Danish Ali told NDTV that he had been unable to sleep and was on the verge of a mental breakdown. The BSP MP also added that he was considering quitting the Parliament if no action is taken against Ramesh Bidhuri.
On Sunday, MP Ali was targeted by another BJP MP, Nishikant Dubey, over allegations he had used casteist slurs against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that he feared the comment was to provoke his physical lynching outside the Parliament since the verbal lynching had already begun.
Speaking on the matter, Danish Ali stated that BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker is to create a narrative pertaining to his lynching outside Parliament as his verbal lynching already took place. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey had demanded the Speaker to investigate Mr Ali’s indecent words and conduct. Nishikant Dubey’s demand was backed by a third BJP MP.
In addition, BJP MP Ravi Kisan Shukla on Sunday also wrote to the Speaker and demanded an inquiry into Danish Ali’s unparliamentary acts and language. In his letter, Ravi Shukla blamed Ramesh Bidhuri’s quite inappropriate comments on continuous heckling and disturbance by Danish Ali.
On the day of the incident, Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla took serious note of the foul language and warned the BJP MP of strict action if the behaviour is repeated. On the other hand, opposition MP’s were quick to point out that non-BJP lawmakers had been suspended or even barred from a full session for less horrific remarks.
Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also came out in support of Danish Ali. The BSP MP was verbally abused during the discussion of the success of Chandrayaan 3 in the Lok Sabha.
