Lok Sabha Elections 2024 LIVE: Congress’ Central Election Committee meeting over Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi Lok Sabha seat is currently underway. Amid the grand old party’s election campaigning, MP Rahul Gandhi took a short break in Coimbatore’s Singanallur and visited a sweet shop to savour and purchase his favourite ‘gulab jamun’. He even purchased some ‘Mysore Pak’ for INDIA bloc partner and Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin.
Meanwhile, Rashtriya Janata Dal released its party manifesto — Parivartan Patra — on Wednesday and said that it is introducing 24 promises for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav also claimed that from August 15 onwards, “people will start getting freedom from unemployment. If our Govt comes to power, the process of providing jobs will start from 15th August”.
Political war in the Coimbatore Lok Sabha constituency caught heat on Friday after police registered against the BJP state president and party candidate K Annamalai over an alleged poll campaign time violation. The case pertained to the opposition DMK and their allies — Left parties — objecting to the saffron camp members campaigning beyond the Election Commission’s stipulated time.
