News18 Poll: PM Modi's Stand On Security To Rahul Gandhi's ‘Surrender' Remark, Make Your Voice Heard
News18 polls closes on June 7, vote before 3 pm: Is 'Narendar Surrender' remark in good taste? Is the Congress showing respect to Armed forces? Tell us what you think
In the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam attack, most opposition parties extended their support to the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Central government. However, soon after India's Operation Sindoor – the retaliatory strikes on the terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) – the Congress began to target PM Narendra Modi.
In his several recent speeches, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi used the slogan 'Narender Surrender' to allege that PM Modi 'surrendered" after a call from US President Donald Trump during the recent India-Pakistan military conflict. Even as Trump on multiple occasions claimed that he had a role in the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, the Centre has maintained that the Operation was paused on the request of Pakistan and no third party was involved in the process.
Gandhi's remarks, meanwhile, sparked a massive backlash, with the BJP accusing him of speaking Pakistan's language and insulting the Army.

In his first visit to J&K since the May 22 Pahalgam attack, the PM said Pakistan is against humanity and even the livelihood of the poor.

Targeted oppression of Brahmins under TDP regime
Tadepalli (Guntur): Former MLA Malladi Vishnu has strongly condemned the rising incidents of targeted oppression against Brahmin community under the TDP-led coalition government. He said the government is treating Brahmins as weak and expendable, and the demolition of the historic Satavahana College in Vijayawada stands as a shocking example of this systematic marginalization. In a statement on Saturday, he questioned the role of the police during the demolition. 'When the college was being razed, what were the police doing? Why didn't they intervene to protect public property?' he asked. He further pointed out that vital student certificates were buried under the rubble while the administration remained a silent exposed that a TDP MLC was involved in the kidnapping of a college representative in connection with this case, yet the government took no action. 'All of this is part of a conspiracy to illegally grab the five-acre land belonging to the college,' he said.

Stadium left unattended, no police protection: Karnataka BJP on stampede
Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders in Karnataka mounted an attack on Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, days after 11 people died in the Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede in Bengaluru. Karnataka Deputy Leader of Opposition and BJP MLA Arvind Bellad alleged that the duo wanted to "take selfies" and "celebrate" the victory with RCB players. "After this big tragedy in Karnataka, more than 30 common citizens were injured, and 11 people lost their lives. The chief minister, Siddaramaiah, and the deputy chief minister, DK Shivakumar, are two culprits... Because they wanted to take selfies and wanted to celebrate the victory with the RCB players, the whole attention of the police and the officers was on them. They were busy giving protection to the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister, whereas the crowd gathered at the Stadium was left unattended... There was no police protection. All the police officers were busy protecting the chief minister and their family... Siddaramaiah should resign," Bellad said. Senior BJP leader CT Ravi also called to fix the responsibility. "11 people died--speaking the truth about it, is that politics? Did we go eat dosa after hearing about the deaths? Who is responsible? Did we call everyone to Vidhana Soudha and felicitate them? Does RCB represent the state or Kannadigas? The CM and Deputy CM are responsible. Your political credit war caused this..." Ravi stated. Meanwhile, CM Siddaramaiah has ordered an increase in the compensation announced for the families of those who died in the stampede to Rs 25 lakh each. Earlier, the government had announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh each. Earlier, top senior officials of Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), Secretary A Shankar and Treasurer ES Jairam, tendered their resignations, taking "moral responsibility" for the stampede ahead of RCB team's felicitation after winning their Indian Premier League (IPL) title by defeating Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a tight final on Tuesday.

Today in Politics: Amit Shah in Tamil Nadu for BJP organisational meetings; Chirag Paswan to launch Bihar campaign with rally
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to hold BJP organisational meetings in Tamil Nadu on Sunday as the party works to sharpen its political outreach ahead of the Assembly elections in 2026. The meetings come after the party renewed its alliance with the AIADMK and appointed a new state president as the BJP gears up to challenge the dominance of the state's ruling DMK-led alliance. Party sources said Shah will chair a meeting of the core committee, which includes key leaders of the state organisation, and then speak to office-bearers from mandal, districts and the state. He will also offer prayers at the famous Meenakshi Temple in Madurai before his political programmes, they added. The AIADMK is the senior partner in the alliance, which is likely to include some smaller parties as well, amid the DMK's sharp campaign to paint the BJP as a party working against the state's interests, including by allegedly trying to impose Hindi. The DMK has also been raising the issue of alleged political damage to southern states in a future delimitation exercise due to their success in curbing population growth compared to their northern counterparts. The BJP has insisted that the DMK has been raising these issues as a diversionary tactic to shift focus from the alleged corruption and misgovernance under the rule of Chief Minister M Stalin. Shah has in the past asserted that any delimitation exercise will protect the interests of southern states. Chirag Paswan launches Bihar poll campaign With LJP(RV) chief and Union Minister Chirag Paswan announcing his intention to contest the Bihar Assembly polls, slated for later this year, and forgo politics at the Centre, the party is set to launch its election campaign on Sunday with a rally in Bhojpur district's Arrah. As reported by Liz Mathew, in recent weeks, Paswan has publicly spoken of his wish to return to Bihar, seen as a pitch to take up the position of either the kingmaker, if not the king, in state politics. And the message is not lost on the BJP leadership. While the BJP leadership maintains that Paswan is free to contest from any of the seats his party is allocated as part of a seat-sharing agreement, a section in the ruling party said he was merely trying to take advantage of a sense of confusion in the state unit. Also read | Amid Bihar's shifting sands in twilight of Nitish, Chirag Paswan eyes centrestage Paswan's public statements come at a time when Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's rivals believe that his time at the top of Bihar politics is drawing to a close. The LJP(RV) leader is said to harbour the ambition of being the face that can bring together key electoral forces in the state. Speculation is rife that Paswan, who his party wants to contest from an unreserved constituency, might choose an Assembly seat in the Shahabad region comprising Bhojpur and adjoining districts. Cong's Constitution campaign in Goa The Goa Pradesh Congress Committee (GPCC) is set to launch a statewide 'Samvidhan Bachao (Save the Constitution) Yatra' to engage with citizens, listen to their grievances, and highlight the alleged failures and corruption of the BJP government, the party said. The yatra will cover all 40 constituencies of Goa and will be led by key Congress leaders, including GPCC chief Amit Patkar, Leader of the Opposition Yuri Alemao, and several MLAs and MPs. Earlier, the Congress had run a nationwide 'Save the Constitution' campaign from April 25 to May 30. (With PTI inputs)
