Congress has questioned the role of the Election Commission (EC) in the poll process, after its top leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and party chief Mallikarjun Kharge, met to discuss the dismal outcome.
Kharge said, "PM Modi jhuthon ke sardar hain. Jhuthon ke sardar har jagah jaa ke jhuth baatein bolte hain."

Kharge also criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the US tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on the Indian exports.

Kharge claimed that the bills take away the right of citizens to form or remove their elected government and give that power to institutions like ED-CBI.
On July 21, Jagdeep Dhankhar stepped down as Vice President, citing health reasons, a little more than two years ahead of the end of his tenure.

Additionally, the Congress leaders have also sought a legislation to include the Union Territory of Ladakh under the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution.
