Farmers meet Rahul Gandhi at LoP office after initial entry denial
New Delhi: Farmer leaders, invited by Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, were initially denied entry to the Parliament premises but have now been permitted to meet him in his office.
Addressing the media outside the Parliament, Rahul Gandhi stated, "We had invited them (farmer leaders) here to meet us. But they are not allowing them here (in Parliament). Because they are farmers, maybe this is the reason they are not allowing them in."
Earlier in the day opposition parties marched to the Parliament protesting against the Budget for allegedly "depriving" states governed by non-NDA parties.

Sringeri postal ballot recount: Votes tampered with, alleges D.K. Shivakumar
Hospet: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar on Sunday alleged large-scale tampering of postal ballots in the Sringeri constituency.
Speaking to the media near the Tungabhadra Dam, he said, “A large-scale crime has taken place in Sringeri. Tampering has been done using officials. More than 200 ballot papers have been tampered with.”
He further alleged that postal ballots were manipulated despite signatures being recorded during counting, calling it a “shame for the country.”
“They have tampered with the votes of our MLAs. Similar tampering has taken place in Jayanagar too. This is an insult to democracy. There should be a thorough investigation into this. The law will take its course. We will go to court,” he said.
