EPS: Didn't DMK know CPR was from RSS when it allied with BJP?
At a meet at Walajah, Sholinghur, in Ranipet district, EPS asked, "Didn't DMK know that Radhakrishnan had an RSS background when it aligned with BJP earlier? Back then, Radhakrishnan contested as DMK alliance's candidate. When convenient, DMK changes its stand. In fact, DMK campaigned for Radhakrishnan and helped him win. Let them not forget that."
EPS alleged that DMK will do anything to remain in power. "They (DMK) will even sign a bond of slavery.
Even if they don't vote for C P Radhakrishnan, they must not speak ill of him. Shouldn't we feel proud that a Tamilian holds a high national post," he asked.

He said DMK's attitude was that of, 'Let the poor suffer, as long as our families survive.' The prices of rice, dal, oil, and groceries have all risen sharply, he said. "During AIADMK regime, we kept inflation under control. To check rising prices, we created a price stabilisation fund of 100crore. With this, we procured goods from neighbouring states where they were cheaper and supplied them through cooperative societies in TN," he said.
Building materials have become so costly that the poor can no longer dream of building houses, said EPS, adding, "But DMK has no concern."

Attack did not affect CM Rekha Gupta's resolve, says Delhi MP after meeting her
All seven Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Members of Parliament (MPs) from Delhi met chief minister Rekha Gupta at her residence on Thursday morning, a day after CM Gupta was attacked during a public meeting on Wednesday which left her injured. BJP MP from North East Delhi Manoj Tiwari said the attack has not affected CM's resolve. (HT sourced photo) BJP MP from North East Delhi Manoj Tiwari hailed the CM's resolve adding that the attack did not deter her. 'The attack has not affected the resolve of the chief minister. The public hearings by CM will continue as usual. Next Wednesday, she will attend the Jan Sunwai again and she will join work from her office on Friday. Today, she is working. Our CM has been injured but she is fine now,' Tiwari told HT. South Delhi MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said the CM is healthy and committed to serve the people with the same resolve. Gupta was physically assaulted at a weekly public hearing at her official residence in Civil Lines on Wednesday morning by a 41-year-old man who came from Rajkot in Gujarat, and entered posing as a complainant. Also Read:Delhi CM Rekha Gupta meets BJP MPs in first appearance after attack. The accused, Rajeshbhai Khimjibhai Sakriya , an auto driver in Rajkot, was overpowered by the CM's security team and others present there. A first information report (FIR) under sections pertaining to attempt to murder has been filed against him. His motives are not known and it is also not clear whether he was working alone. Chandni Chowk MP Praveen Khandelwal said the MPs met the CM to enquire about her health. 'Today, along with all my fellow MPs from Delhi, I met the popular chief minister of Delhi Rekha Gupta, and inquired about her well-being. The chief minister is in perfect health and, as before, is continuously dedicated to serving the people of Delhi with full commitment,' said Khandelwal. Delhi minister Kapil Mishra also called on her in the morning and said she is working from her home despite having serious injuries on her body. 'She worked last evening too. She has been seeing files. She is doing all the official work. But she needs rest as she has serious injuries on her body. This is not an ordinary incident, but the CM is doing all the official work… The accused has a criminal background. He already has nine criminal cases against him, from smuggling to liquor supply to attempt to murder. The manner in which he came here was like that of a professional criminal… It seems to be a professional attack but we are waiting for police investigation,' Mishra said.

Poised to become Vice-President, low-key Radhakrishnan checks all the BJP boxes
'Decent', 'friendly', 'unassuming', '100 per cent RSS' – these are some of the epithets several leaders knowing Maharashtra Governor C P Radhakrishnan use to describe the ruling BJP-led NDA's candidate for the Vice-Presidential election. Fuelled by the NDA's majority numbers, Radhakrishnan, known as CPR, is on course to succeed former V-P Jagdeep Dhankhar, who suddenly resigned on the opening day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament, two years before his tenure's end, after falling out with the BJP dispensation. This marked an unprecedented development that a V-P quit in the middle of his term due to differences with the government. The BJP high command nominated CPR, 67, as he ticks three key boxes: low-key, RSS background and South connection given that he is from Tamil Nadu. While the Opposition INDIA bloc has chosen former Supreme Court judge Justice Sudershan Reddy for the September 9 V-P poll, CPR's victory is seen as a foregone conclusion. The NDA has 422 MPs in the two Houses of their current strength of 781, which form the electoral college for the V-P election. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has been assigned to reach out to the non-NDA parties to muster additional support for Radhakrishnan. He even spoke with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M K Stalin, a key INDIA ally, in this regard. While the BJP is highlighting CPR's Tamilian identity to connect with non-NDA parties in Tamil Nadu, the INDIA alliance is playing the Telugu card, hoping that the Andhra-born Reddy's candidature would draw the TDP, a major NDA ally, to its side. Justice Reddy is known to have good relations with Andhra Pradesh CM and TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu. Both the DMK and TDP have however made it clear that instead of getting swayed by linguistic or regional sentiments, they would rather back their respective alliances' V-P nominees. Yet, a South watcher remarked that the V-P poll has become 'interesting', even though its 'result is predictable'. Framing the contest as an 'ideological battle', the INDIA leadership hopes that, regardless of its outcome, their move to field a joint nominee would reinforce the bloc's unity at a time when it is going all out to mobilise public opinion on issues like 'vote chori' and the Election Commission (EC)'s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in poll-bound Bihar. The Indian polity has become so deeply divided today that political alignments seem to be subsuming regional identities. It has come a long distance from the days when the then undivided Shiv Sena cross-voted for the Congress's presidential candidate Pratibha Patil in 2007 as she hailed from Maharashtra. Or the 2012 presidential poll, when the Left parties and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supported the Congress-led UPA's nominee Pranab Mukherjee because of 'Bengali pride'. In the wake of Dhankhar's abrupt exit, it was clear that the BJP top brass would turn its gaze within its ranks to pick his successor – and not an 'outsider' or a 'flamboyant' leader. The party no longer had an appetite for another Dhankhar or Satyapal Malik. This time it had to be someone who would walk in step with the party leadership all the way and not be outspoken on issues independent of the government's stance. It had to be a low-profile leader, not unlike the CMs the party named for states like Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh in preference to prominent heavyweights like Shivraj Chouhan or Vasundhara Raje. 'You have to learn to lie low in order to progress in the BJP and RSS' – this is a conventional wisdom about the party which Radhakrishnan knows well enough. A BJP veteran, CPR became an RSS member at the age of 16, has been Tamil Nadu BJP chief and a two-time Lok Sabha MP from Coimbatore – a region where the BJP has been strong since 1998, when an assassination attempt was made on LK Advani through serial blasts. In recent years, he was the Lt Governor of Puducherry and Governors of states like Jharkhand and currently, Maharashtra. In Mumbai Raj Bhavan, his predecessor B S Koshyari was known for making gaffes. However, CPR has steered clear of multiple political rows which have roiled Maharashtra over the last several months. Radhakrishnan's selection is also being seen in political circles as the BJP leadership's 'goodwill gesture' towards the RSS. It is hardly a secret that there have been some tensions in the relationship between the BJP and Sangh, the party's ideological mentor, which was cited as one of the reasons why the party's tally in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls slumped from 303 seats to 240. RSS cadre however worked proactively in the subsequent Assembly elections in Haryana, Maharashtra and Delhi, not wanting the Congress to get an upper hand. A series of meetings between the Sangh and the BJP leadership have been held at various levels over the last year to resolve differences. RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat recently talked about the desirability of leaders making way for others after the age of 75. However, it is a given that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will turn 75 on September 16, would remain the BJP's face in the 2029 Lok Sabha polls too. PM Modi's praise for the RSS in his Independence Day speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort also reflects that their ties are on an even keel now, which was echoed by CPR's selection for the V-P poll. Ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections slated for April 2026, CPR's nomination is a significant move. The BJP sees Tamil Nadu as its 'final frontier' where making inroads could lead to expansion of its footprint across the South. The PM invested a lot of time and effort in Tamil Nadu during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, but the BJP could not open its account there. The 2026 polls would thus be another opportunity for the party to make its mark in the state. It is however debatable whether a symbolic move like CPR's elevation would actually bolster the BJP's electoral prospects in Tamil Nadu. CPR belongs to the influential Gounder (OBC) community, but so does ex-state BJP chief K Annamalai as well as the party's ally Edappadi K Palaniswami or EPS, the AIADMK chief. Despite his understated approach, CPR is an old political hand with links to both the Dravidian parties. After Dhankhar's surprise exit, all eyes would be on CPR as to how he would handle the Rajya Sabha as its Chairman if he clinches the poll, as expected. The V-P is mandated to work in tandem with the government. He is also required to run the Upper House in a way that creates confidence among the Opposition benches about the Chair's impartiality and fairness. Amid the growing hostility between the government and the Opposition, CPR may thus face an uphill task despite his 'affable and non-abrasive' credentials.

INDIA bloc's Vice-Presidential candidate B Sudershan Reddy files nomination
INDIA bloc's Vice-Presidential candidate former Supreme Court Judge B Sudershan Reddy filed his nomination for the VP elections on Thursday, August 21. He filed the nomination in the presence of Congress president and Rajya Sabha's Leader of the Opposition (LoP) Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi. NCP-SCP chief Sharad Pawar, SP MP Ram Gopal Yadav, DMK MP Tiruchi Siva, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut and several other leaders of the Opposition's INDIA bloc were also present at the nomination. B Sudershan Reddy will contest for the Vice President's post against the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) nominee CP Radhakrishnan. Justice (Retd.) B Sudershan Reddy had on Thursday expressed hope of receiving support across party lines, framing the election as a contest of ideology rather than numbers. "Numbers matter course, I am hopeful. Since I don't belong to any political party, I believe everyone would support me...I have made it very clear yesterday. It is the battle of ideology," said Reddy was quoted by news agency ANI as saying as he left for filing his nomination paper. "I will definitely speak with you after filing is simple, I am going to the Returning Officer to submit my nomination paper," he mentioned. The Election Commission had earlier announced that polling for the Vice Presidential election would take place on September 9, with counting of votes scheduled for the same day. The last date for filing nominations is August 21, while candidates can withdraw their nominations until August 25. The Vice Presidential post fell vacant after Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned on the first day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament on July 21, citing health reasons. The VP is elected by an electoral college, which consists of MPs from both houses of Parliament. The elections of the Vice President are governed by the provisions under Articles 64 and 68 of the Constitution. The Election Commission notifies the VP polls by the Presidential and Vice-Presidential Elections Act, 1952. As per Article 66(1) of the Constitution of India, the election of the Vice President shall be held by the system of proportional representation by means of single transferable vote, and the voting at such election shall be by secret ballot.
