Watch Viral Video: Did Rahul Gandhi's car 'crush' a cop during ‘Voter Adhikar Rally'? ‘Dynast did'nt even…', says BJP
Watch Viral Video: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on 19 August slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for allegedly "crushing" a police constable during 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in poll-bound Bihar. The yatra, which began from Sasaram on Sunday will pass through Nalanda, Sheikhpura, Lakhisarai, Munger, Bhagalpur, Katihar, Purnea, Araria, Supaul, Madhubani, Darbhanga, Sitamarhi, East Champaran, West Champaran, Gopalganj, Siwan, Chhapra and Ara before concluding with a rally in Patna on 1 September. In a social media post on X, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla shared a video in which a car carrying Rahul Gandhi, the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, is seen running over a police constable in Nawada. The policeman is later seen limping in the same video. LiveMint couldnt verify the credentials of the video: 'Rahul Gandhi's car crushed a police constable who was critically injured,' Poonawalla said in the X post. "The dynast did not even get down to check on him,' the BJP leader added. However, Rahul Gandhi was later seen making the police officer sit in his car. Earlier, RJD leader and foremer Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav exhorted the people of Bihar to make Congress leader Rahul Gandhi the prime minister after the next Lok Sabha polls. Addressing a rally on the third day of Congress's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Nawada, he also called upon the youth to 'root out the NDA' from the state in the assembly elections due later in the year. Yadav was accompanied by Gandhi and other INDIA bloc leaders during the fortnight-long yatra, which began on Sunday. The RJD leader described Gandhi as the one 'who has given sleepless nights to Prime Minister Narendra Modi' for undertaking the state-wide yatra. 'In the upcoming assembly polls, we shall root out the NDA, which has been running a government comparable to a rickety old car ('khatara') for the last 20 years. And, in the next Lok Sabha polls, we shall make Rahul Gandhi the prime minister,' said Yadav, evoking cheers from the crowd. Donning a baseball cap and a T-shirt, Yadav also had a 'gamcha' wrapped around his neck, an apparent bid to emphasise that he wished to embody a mix of tradition and modernity. 'We have a vision for a new Bihar,' asserted the former deputy chief minister, who spoke into a hand-held mic, from atop an open vehicle that carried him, Gandhi, CPI(ML) Liberation general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, Vikassheel Insan Party president Mukesh Sahni and state Congress chief Rajesh Kumar. Taking potshots at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the Leader of the Opposition in the assembly, said, 'The CM is not in his senses. He is not able to run Bihar. His government has become a copycat. I had promised free power, domicile policy, a hike in social security pensions and the setting up of a Youth Commission. Yadav reiterated that the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar was an exercise to 'snatch' people's right to vote. 'The SIR is dacoity of votes and we will not allow that to happen. It's a conspiracy of the ruling dispensation to disenfranchise voters in Bihar,' he alleged. The dynast did not even get down to check on him. 'The BJP and the EC think they can take the people of Bihar for a ride. But, they need to know that in Bihar, we mix lime with khaini (raw tobacco) and swallow it without a fuss. We are Biharis. And as the saying goes, a Bihari can take on anybody,' the 35-year-old RJD leader said.

'Can you say it's criminal to love?': SC bats for distinction of rape from 'genuine' romance
The Supreme Court on Tuesday underlined the need to distinguish between rape and genuine romantic cases involving youngsters on the verge of majority. The bench observed that the police would look into the matters to ascertain whether it was a case of kidnapping, trafficking or whether it was a case of genuine love.(ANI) A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and R Mahadevan noted the existence of co-education institutions and universities and said, "Now, they develop feelings for each other. Can you say it is criminal to love? We have to keep a distinction between a criminal act like rape, etc., from this." The observations came on a petition raising the question whether or not the age of consent, which is 18 years, should be reduced to 16 under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. "When there are genuine romantic cases, they like each other and they want to get married... Don't treat such cases the same as criminal cases," the bench said. The bench went on, "You have to keep the reality of society in mind." The top court referred to the trauma such couples face, generally owing to the male partner being sent to jail by the parents of the girl after filing a case under the POCSO Act. "This is the harsh reality in society," the bench said, noting cases under the POCSO Act were also filed to cover up elopements. Senior advocate H S Phoolka, appearing for the petitioner organisation, called for safeguards. The bench observed that the police would look into the matters to ascertain whether it was a case of kidnapping, trafficking or whether it was a case of genuine love. Phoolka said a similar issue concerning the age of consent was being considered by another bench of the apex court. The bench posted the matter for August 26 after Phoolka said he would place on record some top court orders in the context of the prayers sought for in the petition. Recently, the Centre defended in the apex court the statutory age of consent of 18 years, saying the decision was a "deliberate, well-considered, and coherent" policy choice aimed at shielding minors from sexual exploitation. The Centre said diluting the age of consent or introducing exceptions under the guise of adolescent romance would be not only legally unsound but also dangerous. The written submissions was filed in a separate case which raises the point of age in adolescent relationships.

In seeking support for Sudershan Reddy, Revanth evokes Telugu pride – and a throwback to Narasimha Rao
Hours after former Supreme Court judge Justice B Sudershan Reddy was nominated by the INDIA bloc for the Vice President post, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy evoked Telugu pride and asked all parties in the two Telugu-speaking states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to vote for him. 'INDIA announcing the name of Justice B Sudershan Reddy is a matter of pride for Telugus, and especially those from Telangana,' he said at a press conference. INDIA alliance opted to nominate a non-political person who is a constitutional expert to the post because he is capable of safeguarding the Constitution, he said. 'This is a person from an ordinary farming family. A son of Telangana who studied law at Osmania University, became a judge and rose to great heights. It is a matter of Telugu pride to vote for him by setting aside political differences,' he said. 'It is the responsibility of every Telugu person to vote for him.' He urged all parties, including Telugu Desam Party, YSR Congress Party, Bharat Rashtra Samithi, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen and Jana Sena Party, to support him over the NDA candidate, C P Radhakrishnan. Naming leaders of these parties – from N Chandrababu Naidu and K Chandrashekar Rao to Asaduddin Owaisi and Pawan Kalyan – he said, 'This is a fight between those who want to safeguard the Constitution and those against it.' When all Telugu people came together to declare Telugu as a classical language, why shouldn't they come together to support a Telugu son of the soil, he said. Remembering TDP's NT Rama Rao (NTR), who did not field a candidate in Nandyala by-election against former prime minister PV Narasimha Rao, Revanth said, 'I ask the TDP to take the example of NTR who said that Narasimha Rao becoming prime minister is a matter of pride for all Telugus. He did not field a TDP candidate against Narasimha Rao that year.' This, however, is not a fight between a Tamil candidate and a Telugu candidate, he said. 'This is a fight between those against the Constitution and those protecting it.' Asked why other parties should vote against NDA's OBC candidate, Revanth said, 'If he (Radhakrishan) becomes V-P, OBCs will suffer because he comes from a party and side which opposes reservation. But Sudershan Reddy headed the expert committee which finally awarded 42% reservation for Backward Classes. He stands for the BCs and the BCs will benefit with him as Vice President.'
