In a sharp critique, BJP parliamentarian Praveen Khandelwal stated that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is laying the groundwork for her electoral loss by targeting the Election Commission. Khandelwal claimed this is a standard tactic for opposition leaders who realize their governance has failed. Beyond state politics, the MP voiced support for the removal of the Muslim quota in Maharashtra, advocating for a merit-based and need-based reservation system. He also dismissed Rahul Gandhi’s criticisms of the Delhi AI Summit as the rhetoric of a ‘politically unemployed’ leader, highlighting that the summit is a natural progression of the Digital India initiative launched by PM Modi in 2015.
