Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra hit back against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks on her brother Rahul Gandhi where he had questioned the Congress' silence on Adani-Ambani. "Today Narendra Modi said- Rahul Gandhi is not taking Adani's name. The truth is this- Rahul Gandhi talks about Adani every day, he puts the truth about Adani in front of you every day and exposes it. Rahul Gandhi tells you every day that Narendra Modi has a nexus with big industrialists. Narendra Modi waived off Rs 16 trillion for his friends but did not waive off a single rupee of the farmers. Narendra Modi should answer this," Priyanka Gandhi said in a poll rally.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out at Rahul Gandhi today, saying that the Congress leader has remained mum on 'Adani-Ambani' after the third phase of General Elections in the country.

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Tuesday night said nephew Akash Anand is no longer her political heir or the party's National Coordinator. Anand was demoted this evening, days after a police case was filed against him for a derogatory comment against the BJP. The former Uttar Pradesh (UP) chief minister said she has taken the decision in the interest of the party and the movement and till the time Anand gains "full maturity".
On social media platform X, Mayawati said, "BSP is also a movement for self-respect and self-esteem of Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar and social change for which Shri Kanshi Ram ji and I have dedicated our entire lives and a new generation is also being prepared to give it momentum."
"In the same sequence, along with promoting other people in the party, I declared Shri Akash Anand as the National Coordinator and successor, but in the larger interest of the party and the movement, he is being separated from both these important responsibilities until he attains full maturity," read her second post. His father, Anand Kumar, will continue to fulfil his responsibilities in the party, she added.
