#WATCH | Delhi | On Congress Rajya Sabha candidate Meenakshi Natarajan's nomination rejected, Karnataka CM DK Shivakumar says, "It is shocking news to the entire country.

It is a shame on democracy"

#WATCH | Delhi | On the nomination of Congress RS candidate from Madhya Pradesh, Meenakshi Natarajan getting rejected, Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel says, "The credibility of the Election Commission has been shattered; the Returning Officer (RO) gave us a time of 5:30 PM, yet the Election Commission office closes at 5:30 PM. If we are dissatisfied with the RO's decision, where are we supposed to submit an appeal? To the Election Commission, but it shuts at 5:30 PM. We wanted to meet someone, but there was no one available. We had to stage a sit-in protest just to submit our application, and only then was it accepted. We will proceed after seeking legal advice."

#WATCH | Delhi | On the nomination of Congress RS candidate from Madhya Pradesh, Meenakshi Natarajan getting rejected, Congress leader Sachin Pilot says, "...Our candidate's election has been cancelled without any grounds.

#WATCH | Delhi: On the letter written by 20 TMC MPs to the Lok Sabha Speaker, Congress leader Bhupesh Baghel says, "If we look at this sequence of events after the elections and the way the attacks have happened, the background itself is telling us why these 20 members have come forward. First thing, are they not afraid of ED, IT? Second thing, are they somewhere afraid of the attacks? Third thing, if they have undergone such a massive change of heart, then they should resign because these elections were won under Mamata Banerjee's leadership..."

#WATCH | Delhi | On AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal's tweet, Congress MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa says, "...Arvind Kejriwal should tell what is the difference between ED party and Vigilance party? What do you think about the Vigilance strikes you're carrying out in Punjab, scaring political people? Both the actions being taken by ED and Vigilance are wrong... I want to ask them why their (AAP) leaders were caught by ED, CBI filed a case and then let them go. So, are they the B team (of BJP) or are we?..."

#WATCH | Delhi | On 20 TMC MPs' letter to Lok Sabha Speaker, Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed says, "The BJP does not believe in democracy. Wherever democracy exists, they display authoritarian tendencies. We saw what happened in Maharashtra; the Shiv Sena was split in two. We saw the NCP split as well; the same pattern is playing out. They are doing the same with the TMC because they need MPs to pass bills. They are playing these games to secure numbers in the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha...They want a dictatorship in India, and we will oppose it to the very end"

#WATCH | Delhi: On the political situation of the TMC, Congress MP Syed Naseer Hussain says, "... BJP can go to any lengths to weaken its opponents, eliminate the opposition space, and expand its own power. This is not the first time they have done this, nor is it happening for the first time in West Bengal; they have done this across India, in every state. They have broken parties and toppled governments. They have forcibly formed governments where they lacked a mandate. They have taken leaders whom they themselves once labelled as 'tainted,' washed them clean in the 'BJP laundry,' inducted them, and are now showcasing them; this has become a habit for them..."
