01:13 The Congress in Rajasthan has suffered a major setback
01:22 after nearly 400 party workers resigned
01:25 from its primary membership on Friday,
01:27 leaving the party in crisis, said party sources.
01:31 The Congress has formed an alliance
01:32 with the Rashtriya Lok Tantrik Party, that is,
01:35 RLP, on the Nagore Lok Sabha seat
01:38 and left it vacant for the RLP.
01:41 Nagore MP and RLP chief Hanuman Benewal
01:44 was fielded here by the Congress.
01:46 Meanwhile, three Congress workers
01:48 were suspended on Monday for six years
01:50 on allegations of campaigning in favor of BJP candidate Jyoti
01:54 Mirdha from Nagore on the basis of a complaint made by Benewal.
01:58 Soon after the suspension of these Congress leaders, which
02:01 included former MLA Bhararam, Kuchera municipality
02:05 chairperson Tejpal Mirdha, and Sukharam Dodwadia,
02:09 there was a furor among Congress workers in Nagore.
02:12 Protesting the suspension, the three Congress leaders
02:15 resigned from the party's membership.

02:21 Amid hectic campaigning ahead of the Lok Sabha elections,
02:27 Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday night
02:30 took some time out to relish the famous South Indian sweet dish
02:34 Mysore Pak at a shop in Tamil Nadu's Singhanallur
02:37 before buying it for Tamil Nadu chief minister M.K. Stalin.
02:41 In a video shared by the Congress leader on Instagram,
02:43 Rahul Gandhi can be seen walking into a sweets shop
02:46 and trying the Mysore Pak along with other party workers.
02:50 He can also be seen shaking hands, interacting,
02:53 and posing for photographs with the staff of the shop.
02:56 At the end of the video, Rahul Gandhi also
02:58 met M.K. Stalin in Coimbatore and gave him the sweets.
03:01 The bond homie between the two leaders
03:03 was evident as Gandhi addressed the DMK leader as his brother.
03:08 Adding a touch of sweetness to the campaign trail in Tamil
03:11 Nadu, bought some Mysore Pak for my brother, Thiru Stalin.
03:15 Gandhi captioned the video.
03:17 Responding to Gandhi's gesture, Stalin on Saturday
03:19 said that the India alliance will deliver a sweet victory
03:23 on June 4.

03:27 Senior BJP leader Amit Shah held a road show
03:34 in Kanyakumari Lok Sabha constituency on Saturday
03:36 in support of the party candidate Poon Radhakrishnan
03:39 for the April 19 parliamentary election.
03:42 Hundreds of party cadres invigorated by his visit
03:46 joined Shah in the road show from Metukadai Junction, Thukkale,
03:50 to the old bus stand in Kanyakumari.
03:52 Shah greeted the cadres from his specially designed vehicle
03:55 and flashed the party's lotus symbol throughout the stretch
03:59 as party members chanted Modi again, Bharat Mata Ki Jai,
04:03 and Ponnar again.
04:05 Radhakrishnan, a former union minister,
04:07 is fondly addressed as Ponnar by supporters.
04:10 In his address, Shah said Modi was taking the country
04:13 on the path of progress.
04:15 People in Tamil Nadu were chanting the Char Sao Par,
04:18 he said, alluding to the BJP's target of achieving
04:21 the set number of constituencies.
04:24 Shah also sought the people to vote for the party's candidate
04:26 for the Villavan Kode by-poll,
04:29 vs Nandini, and ensure her victory.
04:32 Our sister Nandini has to be defeated by a very strong party
04:40 and send a message,
04:42 what for Nandini, what on Tamil.
04:46 Shiv Sena UBT chief Udhav Thackeray on Friday
04:56 hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi
04:58 over his fake Shiv Sena remark,
05:00 and said his party was not like your degree.
05:04 Peaking at a campaign rally at Boisar near Mumbai
05:07 for his party's Palghar Lok Sabha constituency candidate
05:10 Bharati Kambi,
05:11 Thackeray also claimed that the opposition India grouping
05:14 will cross the 300 mark and defeat the BJP.
05:17 He also vowed to scrap the Wadhwan port project
05:20 in Palghar district,
05:21 which he said is opposed by local fishermen.
05:24 Attacking the union government and BJP,
05:27 Thackeray alleged that good projects were being taken to Gujarat,
05:30 while environmentally destructive projects
05:32 were being introduced in Maharashtra.
05:35 He also assured that a new airport will be built in Palghar.
05:38 Earlier this week, at a rally in Maharashtra,
05:41 Modi had dubbed the Thackeray-led Sena as fake.
05:44 Thackeray further said he had visited the Wadhwan area
05:47 and interacted with the villagers and fishermen in the late 90s.
05:49 After his interaction,
05:50 he had conveyed their opposition to the port project
05:53 to his father, Sena chief Bal Thackeray,
05:56 who said the project should be scrapped,
05:58 the former chief minister said.
06:07 Defence Minister Rajnath Singh claimed on Friday
06:09 that the Congress will become extinct like the dinosaur
06:12 in a few years from now,
06:14 and likened the infighting in the opposition party
06:16 to the television reality show Big Boss.
06:19 The exodus of leaders from the Congress continues.
06:21 They are quitting the party one after another
06:24 and joining the BJP,
06:26 Singh said at a rally in Gauchhar,
06:28 which is part of Uttarakhand's Pauri Gharwal Lok Sabha constituency.
06:32 He also commented on the infighting in the Congress.
06:35 They are fighting with each other on a daily basis.
06:37 The party has become somewhat like the house of Big Boss.
06:40 They are tearing each other's clothes, Singh said.
06:44 The BJP leader was in Gauchhar to campaign for Anil Baloni,
06:48 the party's candidate from Pauri,
06:49 in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
06:52 Singh addressed two more election rallies at Lohaghat,
06:55 under Almora,
06:56 and Kashipur,
06:57 under Nainital Udham Singh Nagar constituency.
07:00 Union Minister of State for Defence and Tourism Ajay Bhatt
07:02 is contesting from Nainital Udham Singh Nagar seat.
07:06 "Have you heard of dinosaurs?
07:08 How many people have heard of them?
07:10 Have you seen dinosaurs?
07:12 No, you haven't.
07:14 Just as dinosaurs have disappeared from this earth,
07:17 Congress is disappearing from this earth.
07:20 (Applause)
07:23 When Congress's leader Harish Rawat said,
07:27 I respect him a lot,
07:29 he said, "Congress has become lazy,
07:32 it has become lazy."
07:34 He himself said,
07:36 (Laughter)
07:43 "This is the state of Congress."
07:48 Now, as far as Congress is concerned,
07:50 it is fine if it stays somewhere else,
07:53 but I can say this for sure,
07:57 Congress does not have the strength to climb mountains anymore.
08:01 (Applause)
08:04 (Laughter)
08:06 (Audience chanting)
08:08 This is the height,
08:11 this is the height that Congress cannot climb.
