00:19From the Gandhi's surprising decision to skip a Methi candidacy, to Chirag Paswan's outspoken
00:25critique on reservations against Congress, and from PM Modi's nomination date set for
00:31Varanasi, to Maharashtra's decisive action against the rising threat of deepfake content,
00:37especially in elections, we bring you all the latest developments straight from the
00:42heart of Indian politics.
00:47In Patna, tensions rise between political leaders as Chirag Paswan, President of Lok
00:52Janshakti Party, Ram Vilas, threatens legal action against RJD leader Tejashri Yadav and
00:59Congress.
01:00Paswan accuses Yadav of spreading false information about his stance on reservations, particularly
01:06targeting Paswan's alleged advocacy for scrapping reservations for affluent Dalits.
01:13Paswan condemns Yadav's statements as lies and warns of legal consequences if the misinformation
01:20continues.
01:22The dispute underscores the intensity of political rivalry in Bihar ahead of Lok Sabha
01:27elections.
01:28Uttar Pradesh's Amethi, long synonymous with the Gandhi's, prepares for its first Lok
01:36Sabha election in 25 years without a Gandhi family member in the fray.
01:42Amethi, a Congress stronghold since its inception, has been represented by a Gandhi family member
01:49for about 31 of its 53 years.
01:52The last non-Gandhi contender was in 1998, when Satish Sharma, a close aide to Rajiv
01:59and Sonia Gandhi, contested but lost to the BJP.
02:04The recent by-election in 2019 marked a significant BJP victory, with Smriti Irani defeating Rahul
02:11Gandhi.
02:12The BJP had on Thursday announced Dinesh Pratap Singh as its candidate from Raibareli, who
02:18will contest against Rahul Gandhi.
02:22Prime Minister Narendra Modi gears up for the upcoming general elections by filing his
02:27nomination papers from the Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency on May 14.
02:33Preceding this, a grand roadshow is scheduled in Varanasi on May 13, providing an opportunity
02:39for PM Modi to engage with the public and rally support for his candidacy.
02:45Varanasi's significance in the electoral landscape intensifies as it heads to the polls
02:51in the seventh phase on June 1.
02:54Notably, senior Congress leader Ajay Rai emerges as PM Modi's contender for the Varanasi seat,
03:01marking his third attempt at the position after facing defeat in both the 2014 and 2019
03:08elections against the PM.
03:11Amid the ongoing Lok Sabha elections 2024, the Maharashtra government has issued a stern
03:18directive to the state police to crack down on the proliferation of deepfakes.
03:24These digitally altered videos and photos circulating widely on social and digital platforms
03:30pose a serious threat to the electoral process by spreading misinformation and defamation.
03:36In response, the government has vowed to take stringent measures against those involved
03:41in creating and disseminating such deceptive content.
03:45The Election Commission has also underscored the importance of combating misinformation
03:50in its recent guidelines.
03:52With directives given to the Director General of Police, the Maharashtra Police Department
