If ED tightens its grip on rahul gandhi before the elections, it will have a very bad impact on the congress party, because rahul is the main face of the party. mallikarjun Kharge is the party president. congress is currently ruling three states Karnataka, telangana and Himachal Pradesh. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, congress stood second on 206 seats, while the party won 52 seats. If any congress leader is arrested, the party may have to face loss in the elections on 206 seats this time too.
Tejashwi stuck in land-for-jobs case
Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav, RJD supremo Lalu prasad Yadav and former cm Rabri Devi are accused of giving government jobs in Railways in exchange for land. Investigative agencies allege that during Lalu Yadav's tenure as Railway minister during the UPA government from 2004 to 2009, jobs were given to his favorite candidates in violation of rules and regulations and without any public information.
To get jobs in Railways, candidates sold land to some members of the Yadav family at very low prices. After the filing of a new charge sheet in this alleged land scam case, on october 4, 2023, the court had granted bail to Tejashwi Yadav, Lalu Yadav, Rabri Devi and others. ED has sent summons to all three leaders several times and called them for questioning.
