Sayani ChakrabortyOctober 2, 20230

Chief Justice of India Chandrachud has stated that the Supreme Court will always have constitution benches of varying sizes.

SHIVANI UJJAINWALSeptember 25, 20230

Rahul Gandhi should take on the BJP in one of the States with a Hindi-speaking population, according to CPI Rajya Sabha Member P. Sandosh Kumar, rather than challenging the party's ally. The Congress, notably its Kerala branch, is upset by a suggestion made during internal discussions at the most recent national executive conference of INDIA bloc member CPI that senior leader Rahul Gandhi not run for re-election from the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency in 2024.
