Why send those to Lok Sabha who did not speak single word in the parliament?: Siddaramaiah
Ballary: Sriramulu has not spoken in the Lok Sabha or Assembly even for a day. Similarly, Shantha, the candidate from the Ballary Lok Sabha constituency, has also not spoken in the Lok Sabha. So why they should be sent there for decoration, asked former chief minister Siddaramaiah.
Speaking during the election campaign at Ballary's Hampasagar taluk, Siddaramaiah said, "Did not Sriramulu, who is terming Ugrappa as an outsider, contest against me in Badami? Did he born in Badami? he jibed at Sriramulu.
Ugrappa entered into politics even before Sriramulu had opened his eye. If Ugrappa goes to Lok Sabha, Ballary sounds there. But that work will not happen If Shantha goes to Lok Sabha, said Siddaramaiah.

Defeated delimitation bill in Parliament to defend idea of India: Cong leader Rahul Gandhi
Chennai (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the opposition parties defeated the delimitation bill in the Parliament on Friday to defend the "idea of India."
Addressing a poll rally at Ponneri here, he said the BJP-led government at the Centre brought a new bill on April 16, and said they were trying to pass the women's bill, which he said was passed in 2023.
"In the so-called Women's Bill, delimitation was hidden. The idea was to reduce Tamil Nadu's representation in the Union of India... the delimitation move by BJP was to weaken the strength of southern states, small states, north eastern states," he alleged.
"We defeated in Parliament, a bill in which delimitation was hidden; we defeated it to defend the idea of India."
Rahul added that India that is Bharat, is a union of states, and every single state should have a voice, be free to express itself, and protect its tradition.
