Death threat to Rahul Gandhi shows BJP's historic link to Gandhiji's assassination: BK Hariprasad
Bengaluru: Senior Congress leader and Member of Legislative Council (MLC) BK Hariprasad has hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party, whose member recently said on television that Rahul 'Gandhi should be shot in the chest', stating that the party was made up of people who shot dead Icon of Peace Mahatma Gandhi.
Sharing his views on his personal 'X' account on the BJP spokesperson's statement recently, Hariprasad said, “Rahul Gandhi has been facing threats from BJP leaders already as he is fighting for justice to crores of people. But, if the party's spokesperson threatens on a private news channel that the party members would kill Rahul Gandhi if he spoke against BJP, clearly is a sign of a conspiracy against Rahul Gandhi.”
The leader, commenting further on what he called the BJP leaders' incitement to murder the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, especially since he is firm in his stand on protection of the Constitution and democracy, said, “The statement of the spokesperson cannot be taken as a slip of the tongue. Instead, the intention of the party has now been revealed.”
Hariprasad called upon all leaders in India to condemn this dangerous statement. “Saying we will kill the LoP is nothing but the heights of hate politics of the BJP. The party should immediately expel the member who made this murderous statement and also apologize to the citizens of India,” the Congressman has demanded.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
